My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 543 - 540: No Need to See You Out

In the prison cell.

Kneeling on the ground, Dong Xiaohai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he bit down on his teeth fiercely, "You all wait! My dad will never let you get away with this!!!"

"All of you wait!"

"My dad will come to rescue me soon!"

"By then, you'll all be dead!!!"

Malevolence and venom filled Dong Xiaohai's tone.

...

Outside the prison cell.

Gao Fei walked ahead with a dark expression on his face, followed by Chen San and Liu Qing.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen San finally spoke up, "Lord, doing this... could it possibly...?"

"If you have something to say, just say it; don't beat around the bush."

"That Dong Xiaohai is after all the son of the city lord of Xiliang; if you treat him like this, forcing him to write a confession of his crimes, if the city lord finds out, he will not let this go."

"My immediate superior is the city lord of Chaotic Wind City; the city lord of Xiliang has no authority over me."

"That may be true, but..."

"Enough, no more," Gao Fei said impatiently, waving his hand, "If I dared to capture him, I have my reasons. Don't worry."

With Gao Fei having said that, what more could Chen San and Liu Qing add? They could only close their mouths. Although they stopped talking, they were still very worried—not for themselves, but for Gao Fei. The son of a city lord was not someone to be trifled with easily.

...

"Lord!" A soldier hurried over and respectfully said, "Someone has come and requests to see you, Lord."

"Who is it?" Gao Fei asked offhandedly.

"The person claims to be an aide to Lord Wan Fuchang."

"Aide? They've come quite quickly!" Gao Fei snorted coldly, "Bring him in! I want to see what he has to say."

Half an incense stick's time later.

Gao Fei met Wan Fuchang's aide, Liu Ziqi, in the main hall. The so-called "aide" was actually a "secretary."

"I am Liu Ziqi, and I pay my respects to Lord Gao," Liu Ziqi greeted with a bow.

"Lord Liu, what brings you to this place?" Gao Fei asked with a smile.

"I'm here for a person."

"Who?"

"The son of the city lord of Xiliang City."

"That's not right," Gao Fei blinked his eyes, "you should go to Xiliang City to find him, not come here, right?"

"Lord, please don't play dumb—the son of the city lord has been captured by you."

"Captured by me? That can't be right? I haven't seen the son of the city lord, have I? Could you be mistaken?"

"There's no mistake! The son of the city lord has indeed been captured by you. His name is Dong Xiaohai; he's about thirty years old, not very tall, slightly pudgy, and has fair skin."

"Oh... there is indeed such a person; he committed a crime and was arrested. What? This person is the son of the city lord of Xiliang City?" Gao Fei acted very surprised, though it was all pretense.

"Exactly, that's him."

"Oh my, what a situation this is! I genuinely didn't know!"

"Now that you know, it's not too late. Please, Lord Gao, release him immediately. I'll explain to young master Dong, and he won't blame you," Liu Ziqi said in a relaxed manner, waving his hand.

"I can't do that," Gao Fei shook his head, "He can't be released."

"Why not?" Liu Ziqi's expression darkened.

"Because he broke the law."

"What law did he break?"

"He brutally attacked two soldiers on the street, and his blows were extremely vicious. He directly destroyed the Dantians of the two soldiers, turning them into cripples."

"Do you have evidence?"

"Yes, I have both physical and testimonial evidence. Moreover, Dong Xiaohai has confessed, written a confession letter, and signed and sealed it," Gao Fei said.

"What?" Liu Ziqi exclaimed with wide eyes: "Dong Xiaohai wrote a confession letter and signed and sealed it? Impossible! He would never write such a letter... Ah... I understand now, you must have coerced him. Speak! What did you do to Dong Xiaohai?" Liu Ziqi demanded angrily.

Gao Fei dug at his ear, speaking rather indifferently: "Could you speak more quietly? You're making my ears buzz!"

"Out with it! What did you do to Dong Xiaohai?" Liu Ziqi stepped forward and questioned loudly: "Did you torture him? I warn you, if you dare harm a single hair on Dong Xiaohai, I will..."

"You will do what?" Gao Fei looked at Liu Ziqi askance.

"I will report this to Lord Wan Fuchang and have him punish you for your crimes!"

"What crimes do I have?"

"You captured the son of the lord of Western Liang City without authorization, and even tortured him..."

"Anyone who breaks the law can be captured! As for torture... which eye of yours saw me torturing anyone? Don't talk about things without evidence or you might end up with a rotten tongue."

"You..." Liu Ziqi was infuriated: "I want to see Dong Xiaohai!"

"That's not possible." Gao Fei shook his head: "He is a major criminal, I can't let you see him."

"You..."

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"Gao Fei! Have you considered the consequences of your actions? Even if you aren't afraid of Lord Wan Fuchang's punishment, aren't you afraid of the lord of Western Liang City's revenge?"

"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have given the order to capture him."

"You, Gao Fei! You just wait; I'll make you regret this!" Liu Ziqi stormed off angrily.

"Walk on, no need to see you out." Gao Fei curled his lip, humming: "Just a scribe dares to shout at me like this, completely uncultured... Chen San, Liu Qing, come over here."

Chen San and Liu Qing quickly approached from a distance.

"You two go do something for me." Gao Fei ordered: "Write down the crimes committed by Dong Xiaohai, then post them in the streets and alleys for all the citizens to see."

"My lord, by doing this..."

"Don't ask any questions; just do as I say."

"Alright, we'll do it right away."

Chen San and Liu Qing accepted the orders and left.

"Humph!" Gao Fei's mouth twitched upwards, he snorted: "I want to let all the citizens know of your crimes, and when public indignation rises, let's see how you manage the fallout." Gao Fei's plan was simple: to use the power of the citizens to pressure Lord Wan and the lord of Western Liang City, making them hesitate to blatantly rescue Dong Xiaohai.

Sometimes, the power of the people is boundless.

...

Meanwhile.

After Liu Ziqi returned to his headquarters, he went to find Yuan Feihu, Commander Wan, and complained bitterly about Gao Fei.

"Is that really what Gao Fei said?" Yuan Feihu furrowed his brows, his expression turning ugly.

"Absolutely true!" Liu Ziqi nodded vigorously: "I wouldn't dare lie even slightly."

"Bang!"

Yuan Feihu slammed his hand on the table: "This Gao Fei blatantly disrespects me!"

"My lord, you must teach Gao Fei a lesson, let him realize your might," Liu Ziqi instigated from the side.

"Teach him a lesson..." Yuan Feihu's face showed a hint of hesitation.

"What? My lord, do you have reservations?"

"Indeed, I do."

"Gao Fei, he..."

"You might not be aware." Yuan Feihu waved his hand: "Gao Fei is very close with City Lord Bai. If I punish Gao Fei, City Lord Bai will surely intervene."

"What?" Liu Ziqi's eyes widened: "Gao Fei is close with City Lord Bai? No wonder Gao Fei is so arrogant. So he has a backer after all."
