Chapter 21: Holding Up the Sky (1)

The night had completely enveloped the earth, and the colorful lights illuminated the city.

Under the lights, many people were still bustling about. Among them was Shan Hufeng, who had just descended the stairs from Autumn Lingyao's apartment.

He wore a white shirt with black trousers, a simple and ordinary outfit that exuded a distinct aura, making him look noble and elegant.

Downstairs, his two subordinates had been waiting for some time.

A slender man immediately approached as he emerged from the elevator, saying, "Young Master Feng, we still haven't identified who broke into Miss Qiu's house."

Another tall, leggy woman in professional attire promptly handed him a windbreaker, draped it over his shoulders, and then retreated silently to the side, without uttering a word, her movements clean and efficient.

"Keep investigating," Shan Hufeng said sharply, his gaze sharp and his expression slightly grim, a far cry from his nonchalant demeanor when facing Autumn Lingyao.

"Ah San is personally leading the investigation and will have news soon," the slender man said respectfully.

"What about Ball Ball's injury?" Shan Hufeng's eyes grew increasingly dangerous and chilling.

"Fortunately, timely treatment and Ah Er's medical skills saved its life," the slender man glanced at his master and hurriedly added, "Nothing else in Miss Qiu's house was disturbed, only Ball Ball was injured, indicating that the intruder was specifically targeting it."

"Very good!" Shan Hufeng uttered the words softly.

His expression seemed to carry a faint smile, but those accompanying him knew that this was a sign of his deep anger.

Even though the slender man and the tall, leggy woman had been by his side for many years, they couldn't help but tremble.

The slender man understood his master's thoughts very well and immediately reported the tasks assigned by his master: "One of the residents on the same floor as Miss Qiu owns an unoccupied apartment. As per your instructions, I have bought up the other apartments, and they are now occupied by our people to ensure Miss Qiu's safety. We have also taken over the management of the neighborhood."

"Change all the residents in this neighborhood to our people within two days," Shan Hufeng ordered coldly, the safety of that woman being the most important thing to him.

"Yes," the slender man replied.

Autumn Lingyao lived in a high-end apartment, and everyone living here could be considered wealthy. It would be somewhat challenging to discreetly remove these people within two days.

The slender man understood this, but he didn't say anything. His duty was to fulfill his master's orders to the best of his ability.

"Make sure she doesn't notice anything unusual," Shan Hufeng added.

Autumn Lingyao needed a certain kind of world, and he would give her exactly that. As long as she lived freely, he didn't care about anything else.

Ding...

Upon hearing the new message alert, the slender man immediately picked up their communication device, a device akin to those used by American spies, compact and capable of maintaining over ninety-five percent confidentiality.

Opening the new message, he quickly glanced at it. "Young Master Feng, we have news from Ah San. The person behind this is..."

"It's Qiu Yushan." Shan Hufeng had already spoken the correct answer by the time the slender man hesitated.

He could see through that woman's intentions with just one look. Since she wanted to play, then he would play along with her.
