Chapter 7: No Way You're Getting Out Alive

Jiang Yingxue wrinkled her small nose upon hearing this and said, "However, Chen Feng saved my life, and he has a pretty good character. He didn't make any excessive demands of me because of my status."

"Maybe he's just biding his time," Lin Churan said unconvinced.

"I don't think so," Jiang Yingxue disagreed. Although she was young, she had a good eye for people. She had met Chen Feng only once but felt an instant kinship with him, and he had risked danger to rescue her sister and treated her without expecting anything in return. The man was full of sincerity.

Just then, the elderly man in traditional Chinese clothing suddenly received a call and promptly reported, "Miss, we've just received word. That youngster named Chen Feng was framed by the Wang Family. He and his sister have been locked up in the Xuntian Office's prison. With the Wang Family's connections in the Xuntian Office, it'll be tough for the siblings to get out."

"What?" Jiang Yingxue's pretty face turned cold in an instant, and she immediately stood up.

"Yingxue, where are you going? You're not planning to go save that kid, are you?" Lin Churan was astonished to see her close friend display such a concerned emotion for such an ordinary guy, which made her feel a mix of anger and jealousy.

Thinking this, Lin Churan stood up and said, "Yingxue, you've just recovered from your illness and are still weak. You should rest well at home. As for the Xuntian Office, I'll make a trip for you and fish out that kid. By the way, I'd like to see for myself just how many noses and eyes that kid actually has."

Jiang Yingxue nodded, grabbed her hand, and instructed, "Churan, Chen Feng is a good person. Please be a little nicer to him for my sake."

"Got it, wait for my good news!"

Lin Churan pouted and then immediately left the house.

Jiang Yingxue was still a bit worried. She knew her friend was extremely arrogant and had always harbored an inexplicable hostility toward men. She feared she would mistreat Chen Feng, so she turned to the elderly man in the traditional attire, "Uncle Song, please accompany Churan on this trip."

...

Xuntian Office.

After Chen Feng and his sister Chen Ning were brought in, they were immediately locked up. A whole day went by without anyone paying any attention to them.

Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the floor, resting with his eyes closed, not in a hurry.

Because he hadn't committed any crime.

Once the Xuntian Office couldn't find any charges, they would have to release him.

"Brother..."

Suddenly, his sister Chen Ning locked in the neighboring cell let out a weak cry.

Her face was pale as she collapsed to the floor, clutching the iron bars with one hand and murmuring, "I feel... my heart... it hurts so much..."

As she spoke, blood even started seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Chen Feng's face changed drastically.

"Sister!"

He knew his sister's wound had flared up again. Earlier, he had only used spiritual power to temporarily delay the onset of her condition, then went to buy some medicinal materials to prepare medicine to treat her.

But now they were locked in the Xuntian Office, and an entire night had been wasted, worsening his sister's condition.

"Someone! Someone help!" Chen Feng grabbed the iron bars and shouted with all his might.

Soon, the officer on duty arrived at the cell.

Chen Feng anxiously said, "My sister's injury has flared up. She's dying! Please, open the door and let me treat my sister. I beg you!"

The officer hesitated for a moment, touching the keys on his waist. But he didn't dare to open the door directly and said, "I need to report this to the chief officer."

Then the officer made a phone call.

Five minutes later, a portly middle-aged man walked in from outside.

"Mr. Liu!" the duty officer immediately saluted.

Mr. Liu took a glance at the situation, then lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "Heh, you siblings sure put on a good act! You're planning to escape when the cell door opens, aren't you?"

"I have no plans to escape; I just want to treat my sister's injury," Chen Feng said urgently.

"If I say you do, then you do!" Mr. Liu's face darkened.

Chen Feng grew frantic, bellowing, "If anything happens to my sister, I won't let you, you fat bastard, off the hook!"

"You dare threaten me? Do you have any idea how serious that accusation is!" Mr. Liu laughed rather than getting angry and walked to Chen Feng's cell, jingling the keys in his hand, "Do you really want me to open the door so you can treat your sister?"

"Hahaha! Forget it! I'm not opening the door! When your sister dies, I guarantee I'll open the door to collect her corpse!" Mr. Liu sneered continuously.

He mockingly said to Chen Feng, "Kid, don't look at me with that gaze. I have no vendetta against you, but you should blame yourself for not recognizing what's good for you. Don't you see what a nobody you are, daring to offend Mr. Wang, the Wang Family's eldest son? Mr. Wang Kun personally called me to ensure I take special care of you two!"

"So you see, you siblings might as well forget about leaving here alive."

"If your sister's condition is flaring up, then that's just fine, saves me the trouble of taking action."

"Why don't you just end it yourself, kid?"

"I promise to bury your ashes together, so you and your family can stay together, nice and tidy."

Mr. Liu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, had a sinister smile, looking almost devilish.

Chen Feng clutched the iron bars tightly with both hands, using all his strength, only managing to slightly bend them. He stared at Mr. Liu and said deliberately, "Scumbag!"

"Goddamn it, curse me again, and see if I don't make you 'eat peanuts'?" Mr. Liu's face darkened as he pulled out his service pistol, pointing it at Chen Feng's head.

At that moment.

Clack clack.

Accompanied by a series of footsteps.

Suddenly, a group of people entered one after another!
