15 Chapter 15: Disclosure and Turmoil!

"Wu wu!"

Xiao Ze felt a suffocating sensation and patted Ya Fei's shoulder.

Ya Fei, recovering from the embrace, blushed and straightened up.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Seeing Xiao Ze's uncomfortable expression after being choked, Ya Fei couldn't help but apologize.

Although it seemed like she was taken advantage of, she acknowledged that he had saved her life, so Ya Fei didn't dwell on it.

Moreover, she had initiated the hug herself, so who could blame whom?

Therefore, Ya Fei sincerely apologized.

"It's okay, just came out of nowhere."

Xiao Ze waved his hand, and another figure quietly landed beside him.

"Brother, we've seen enough of the show, it's your turn to perform, shall we go back now?"

Xiao Xun'er's tone was ambiguous.

She had seen Ya Fei hugging Xiao Ze, and her fists clenched.

"Enough of the show?"

Ya Fei couldn't help but be puzzled. "Have you both been watching from the sidelines?"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er hinting at it, Xiao Ze didn't mind.

He never intended to hide his actions.

"We were also at the Shengde Tavern on the second floor the whole time and witnessed the incident. We noticed that guy wouldn't let it go..."

After Xiao Ze explained, he whispered to Xiao Xun'er as he pulled her closer.

"I didn't mean to just now, she threw herself at me, if I dodged, she would have fallen and hurt herself."

"Hmph, there could have been a better solution, like holding her with both hands, couldn't you?"

Xiao Xun'er hummed softly, but considering Ya Fei's presence, she whispered to Xiao Ze like him.

"Cough cough, it was an emergency..."

After listening to Xiao Ze's explanation, Ya Fei understood what they meant by "watching the show".

Now seeing the two teenagers whispering in front of her, Ya Fei also understood why the girl suddenly hinted at their actions.

It was probably because of her intimate contact with the young man just now, which made her unhappy.

Were the two of them childhood sweethearts or...?

Taking advantage of this time, Ya Fei glanced at Xiao Xun'er.

Unlike Xiao Ze, Xiao Xun'er didn't pull up her cloak, so Ya Fei could only see the lower half of her face, her delicate chin, perfect lips...

Ya Fei could imagine how perfect her face must be, perhaps under the cloak, there were beautiful eyes that sparkled.

With the handsome face of the young man, they did make a perfect match...

Ya Fei's thoughts flashed by, and then she deeply bowed, expressing her gratitude to the two.

"Sir, Ya Fei thanks you both for watching my 'show'."

This time, it was Xiao Xun'er who was stunned.

"Don't you mind what we did?"

"If every time I'm in danger, I can encounter people like you two who are willing to intervene and watch the show, how lucky would I be!"

Ya Fei said sincerely.

Xiao Ze nodded.

Ya Fei didn't mind their behavior of watching the show; she was more concerned about the fact that they saved her life.

She could distinguish between major and minor matters.

"Alright, now that the matter is resolved and we've spoken openly, we won't stay any longer."

Xiao Ze lowered the brim of his cloak and spoke.

"Miss Ya Fei, please return to the Mittel Auction House as soon as possible to avoid any further mishaps."

"Could you tell me your names so that I can thank you properly?"

Ya Fei hastily asked.

"No rush, since we're both in Wutan City, 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 Xun'er, and left. Before leaving, Xiao Ze reminded Ya Fei.

"Oh, Miss Ya Fei, you also know what happened last night. We had no choice but to act. Please don't expose our presence."

"Of course, I'm not one to repay kindness with enmity!"

Ya Fei immediately assured. With her intelligence, she could tell that they didn't want to reveal their identities.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even tell her their names.

After all, as a member of the Mittel family, Ya Fei still had some influence in Wutan City.

Ordinary people wouldn't miss the chance to take advantage of this opportunity.

As for finding them based on Xiao Ze's appearance 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, tidied up a bit, and hurried back to the main street.

After returning to the Mittel Auction House, she immediately dispatched her trusted aides to handle the area.

The Oba family, one of the three major families in Wutan City?

Ya Fei wasn't afraid!

However, to avoid trouble and possible investigation, she 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 remote alley, along with a bodyguard, and the scene was chaotic!

No clues were found at all.

Or rather, the patriarch of the Oba family found a clue, but it ultimately pointed to Miss Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House!

The Mittel Auction House was not something they could afford to provoke.

Ya Fei denied directly, saying that she had shaken off the pursuit of the young master of the Oba family and returned directly to the Mittel Auction House.

She claimed ignorance of the Oba son's subsequent actions.

Ya Fei also took the opportunity to demand compensation from the patriarch of the Oba family: the Oba son attempted to harm her and tarnish her reputation, so the patriarch should give an explanation!

Ya Fei's arguments were indeed flawless.

After all, besides Xiao Ze and Xiao Xun'er, only Ya Fei's trusted aides knew about the incident.

Without evidence proving Ya Fei's involvement, the patriarch of the Oba family had no ground to stand on.

In terms of influence, the Oba family was no match for the Mittel Auction House.

At the moment, with no evidence, it was the patriarch of the Oba family who was in the wrong.

Moreover, many people had witnessed the subsequent actions of the Oba son!

The patriarch of the Oba family was infuriated by this turn of events. He had already experienced the pain of losing his son, but now he had to pay compensation because of his younger son's actions.

In the end, with all leads cut off, the Oba family issued a reward of one hundred thousand gold coins, causing a sensation throughout Urtan City.

It sparked a search frenzy!

Among them, there were also many opportunists trying to kill innocents and claim the reward.

However, the patriarch of the Oba family saw through their intentions and killed them, hanging their bodies outside his door as a warning!

Eventually, the official authorities of the Gamma Empire intervened, warning the patriarch of the Oba family not to escalate the situation too much.

As the managers of Wutan City, what they wanted to see was order and stability.

If things got out of hand, it would scare away merchants from coming to Wutan City for business, which would damage their interests.

Moreover, since the troublemaker was usually a troublemaker, and now someone was willing to deal with him, the authorities were happy to see it.

In the end, this reward frenzy ended with a whimper.
