Chapter 15: Disclosure and Turmoil!
"Woo woo!"
Xiao Ze felt a sudden suffocation and patted Ya Fei's shoulder.
With her strength back, Ya Fei blushed and stood up straight.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Seeing Xiao Ze's discomfort after his apparent suffocation, Ya Fei couldn't help but apologize.
Although it seemed like she had taken advantage of the situation, he was still her lifesaver, so Ya Fei didn't think too much about it.
Moreover, she had thrown herself at him, so who could she blame?
Therefore, Ya Fei sincerely apologized.
"It's okay, it just caught me off guard."
Xiao Ze waved his hand, and another figure quietly landed beside him.
"Brother, we've seen enough of the show. It's time for you to perform. Let's go back!"
Xiao Xuner's tone was ambiguous.
Just now, she had seen Ya Fei embrace Xiao Ze, and her fists had clenched in jealousy.
"Show?"
Ya Fei couldn't help but be puzzled. "Have you two been watching all along?"
Seeing Xiao Xuner hint at their observation, Xiao Ze didn't mind.
He had never intended to conceal their actions.
"We were at Shengde Tavern on the second floor the whole time and witnessed the whole thing. We noticed that guy wasn't going to let it go..."
After Xiao Ze finished explaining, he pulled Xiao Xuner's hand and whispered to her.
"I didn't mean to just stand there. She threw herself at me, and if I had dodged, she would have fallen and hurt herself."
"Hmph, there could have been a better solution, like using both hands to support her, couldn't there?"
Xiao Xuner huffed softly, but considering Ya Fei's presence, she followed Xiao Ze's lead and whispered to him.
"Cough cough, it was an emergency situation..."
After listening to Xiao Ze's explanation, Ya Fei understood what they meant by "watching the show."
Now that she saw the two teenagers whispering in front of her, Ya Fei also understood why the girl suddenly pointed out their behavior.
It was probably because of her recent intimate contact with the young man.
Were they childhood friends or...
Taking advantage of this moment, Ya Fei took a brief look at Xiao Xuner.
Xiao Xuner hadn't pulled her hood up like Xiao Ze, so Ya Fei could see her entire face.
From her perspective, she could only see the lower half of Xiao Xuner's face: her delicate chin and perfect lips...
Ya Fei could imagine what a perfect face it must be, with shining beautiful eyes hidden under the hood.
With the handsome face of the young man, they were indeed a perfect match...
Ya Fei's thoughts flashed by, and she immediately bowed deeply to express her gratitude to the two.
"So that's it. Ya Fei thanks you both for watching the show."
Now it was Xiao Xuner's turn to be stunned.
"Do you mind what we did?"
"If every time I'm in danger, I can meet people like you two, who are willing to watch and help, how lucky would I be!"
Ya Fei said sincerely.
Xiao Ze nodded.
Ya Fei didn't mind their actions of watching the show; she was more concerned that they had saved her life.
She could distinguish between big and small matters.
"Well, since everything's settled and we've spoken openly, let's not linger."
Xiao Ze lowered the brim of his hood and spoke.
"Miss Ya Fei, please return to the Mitel Auction House as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
"Could you please tell us your names so that I can thank you properly when I visit?"
Ya Fei quickly asked.
"No rush, we're both in Wutan City, so we'll have a chance to meet again. And... actually, we've already met once, Miss Ya Fei."
Xiao Ze waved his hand, pulled Xiao Xuner away, and before leaving, he reminded Ya Fei.
"Oh, Miss Ya Fei, you're clear about what happened last night. We had no choice but to intervene. Please don't expose our presence."
"Of course, I won't repay kindness with enmity!"
Ya Fei immediately assured them. With her intelligence, she could tell that they didn't want their identities revealed.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even tell her their names.
After all, as a member of the Mitel family, Ya Fei still had some influence in Wutan City.
Ordinary people wouldn't miss an opportunity like this.
As for relying on Xiao Ze's appearance to find them in Wutan City? That was like finding a needle in a haystack.
After the two left, Ya Fei looked at the miserable scene in the alley for a moment, tidied up a bit, and hurried back to the main street.
After returning to the Mitel Auction House, she immediately dispatched her trusted aides to deal with the area.
The Oba family, one of the three major families in Wutan City? Ya Fei wasn't afraid!
But to avoid trouble and the possibility of tracing back to the two lifesavers, Ya Fei chose to handle it discreetly.
The next day, the Oba family issued a sensational reward.
The youngest son of the Oba family's patriarch was killed last night in a secluded alley, along with a combatant bodyguard. The scene was chaotic, with no clues.
Or rather, the patriarch of the Oba family found a clue, but it ultimately pointed to Miss Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mitel Auction House!
The Mitel Auction House was not something they could afford to provoke.
Ya Fei outright denied any involvement. After losing track of the Oba young master in the secluded alley, she went straight back to the Mitel Auction House.
She had no knowledge of his subsequent actions.
Ya Fei took the opportunity to demand compensation from the patriarch of the Oba family, accusing the young master of attempting to harm her and tarnish her reputation.
Ya Fei's argument was flawless.
After all, besides Xiao Ze and Xiao Xuner, only Ya Fei's trusted aides knew about the incident.
Without evidence proving Ya Fei's involvement, the Oba patriarch had no grounds to stand on.
In terms of influence, the Oba family couldn't compare to the Mitel Auction House.
With no evidence and instead evidence of his son harassing Ya Fei, the Oba patriarch angrily came to the auction house and left in disgrace, prepared to compensate.
This whole situation disgusted the Oba patriarch, who had already experienced the pain of losing a son.
He never expected to have to pay compensation because of his youngest son.
With all leads cut off, the Oba family issued a reward of 100,000 gold coins, causing a stir in Wutan City.
It sparked a manhunt!
Among them were many opportunists trying to kill innocent people and claim the reward.
But the Oba patriarch saw through their schemes with thunderous force and killed them, hanging their bodies outside as a warning.
In the end, the official intervention of the Gamma Empire warned the Oba patriarch not to make too much of a fuss.
As the administrator of Wutan City, they wanted to maintain order and stability.
If things got too out of hand, it would scare off merchants from doing business in Wutan City, which would harm their interests.
Moreover, the troublemaker was usually up to no good. Now that someone was willing to deal with him, the authorities were happy to see it.
In the end, this reward turmoil ended with a whimper.
