Chapter 384: Investigation
When Xu Feng thought about how to make the Vanguard known, as well as earn money, one idea popped up.
And it was a livestream!
Of course, Xu Feng wasn't stupid enough to expose all of their cards to the enemy, who might be using the livestream as a reference to study them.
Instead, he would show a glimpse of their power, as well as misleading items and their capabilities to trap those who had nefarious intentions toward them.
Additionally, the livestream must be paid with Divine World currency or ten times the amount in real-world currency to be watched.
That way, not only would he trap the enemy, but they also would have to pay a fee to get trapped themselves.
'Ahh, such a triple win without any con is really a good feeling.' Xu Feng thought to himself, feeling quite gleeful.
"What are you thinking about?" Erica asked, but then changed her mind. "Eh, it's whatever. Forget about it. Please grab me a few snacks from the cabinet by the kitchen."
"You don't have anything else to do?" Surprised, Xu Feng didn't expect to see her so idle today.
"Nope, I've decided to take a break." Erica yawned lightly. "By the way, did you mention about me to Alexandra?"
"Yeah, I encountered her at the parking lot and she was quite suspicious of me." Xu Feng mused, grabbing a few potato chips and some other snacks.
Returning to the couch, he placed the snacks on the table while opening a pack of potato chips himself.
These were tasty and with the help of advanced technology, they were no longer unhealthy and considered junk food. Instead, they were considered a great supplement treat for hard working studying students.
"No wonder why Aunty Alexandra would suddenly call me and ask about you." Erica munched on some crackers and said, "I've thought you were someone with a background. If so, then you concealed yourself pretty well."
"Well, I do have a background." Xu Feng answered honestly.
"Yeah, the background of an orphan." Erica rolled her eyes, subtly hinting that she had investigated him already.
There was simply no way she would agree to renting one of the rooms out to another person, especially a man if she hadn't investigated them thoroughly.
And to her surprise, the result was quite startling.
The past few years, it was not worth much mentioning, but ever since the release of the Divine World, she found him quite active.
"I've heard you are quite close with Ning Yi. You even had an office prepared in this tower."
Not a bit alarmed that she even knew about it, Xu Feng smiled. "Yi and I just clicked upon meeting, so we decided to become friends."
"More than just friends." Erica mused and proceeded to browse something on her phone.
"This was also done by you, right?" She flashed the news on her phone to him.
As Xu Feng took a glimpse of him, he didn't deny nor admit to it. After all, the news showed that Dean Qiao, who had been arrested for numerous crimes, had recently been discovered to be killed by an inmate in the cell.
A small investigation was launched and the inmate was found to be the father of a victim under Dean Qiao's conduct.
Despite the inmate having additional sentences added to him, many netizens actually praised the inmate and wished him well.
In fact, there was even a funding page being made and a righteous lawyer taking the case, hoping to appeal for the inmate.
Since the unraveling of Dean Qiao's corruption and many hideous crimes, the crime of the inmate being in a brawl against a wealthy person wasn't much.
As for the killing, anyone would be infuriated if their child was harmed by such a scumbag.
Of course, an eye for an eye was incorrect, but how many in this world would actually abide by the law and allow the culprit of their closed ones to escape or live freely?
"Do you agree that such a person should still live off taxpayer's money?" Xu Feng questioned softly.
Erica furrowed her brows and remained silent.
In the end, she merely shrugged and continued eating her snacks while watching the drama on the television.
Without a doubt, her silence was an answer in itself, along with the topic no longer being discussed.
Although she had high reason and clues to believe this was done by Xu Feng in the shadows, she clearly didn't care much, given he was still living in the room without being kicked out.
"Right, I'm going to be heading out soon. I noticed the snacks and drinks in the kitchen cabinet are running low. Should I restock them?" Xu Feng clasped his hands, brushing off some of the crumbs from the chip in the small trash bin.
"Hmm, you can restock them, but why are you asking me?"
"Well, I was kind of running low on money lately."
"Scram!" Erica waved her hand in annoyance.
Most of the current drinks and snacks were purchased by her. He had already consumed quite a few, but he was still shameless enough to want her to continue to pay for them?
Shaking his head, Xu Feng sighed softly.
"Worth a try anyway." He muttered before returning to his room, leaving Erica quite irritated.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't done anything outrageous nor broken any of the contract terms, then she would really want to kick him out. Your next read is at empire
However, she soon calmed down and realized this was definitely his way of revenge due to her secret investigation of him.
Xu Feng might have understood her point of view and needed to investigate him, but understanding and accepting were two different things. No one wished to have their actions and past investigated by others.
'He's one petty and shrewd man. No wonder Dean Qiao met such a pathetic end.' Erica thought to herself. Despite knowing he was petty, she didn't care much about such scum being ended in such a scene.
"Whatever, I'll just watch my drama and enjoy the acting." She took another sip at her drink and continued watching.
