Chapter 033: Countering Action with Stillness

Chapter 033: Using Stillness to Counter Movement

Ye Feng was not particularly surprised by Huang Wei’s response. He still remembered the first time he met her—she had seemed like an immature girl back then. Now, to expect her to bear such heavy burdens was more than she could easily adapt to.

Huang Wei thought for a moment before speaking. “Actually, I’m closest to Third Uncle. He’s honest and dependable, mature and steady in his dealings, so my father liked to take him along when handling things. It seems Dad trusted Third Uncle a lot. As for the others, I know a bit about Second Uncle—he’s good with words and knows how to get along with people. As for Fourth Uncle and my aunt, they seem fine, nothing stands out as problematic.”

“I see. Then let me be frank: I suspect there’s a traitor within your Righteous Sect. Otherwise, with Uncle Huang’s abilities, this situation would never have happened,” Ye Feng said after some thought. There was another troubling issue—Huang Wei barely knew the sect’s key figures. That was a problem. Clearly, more consideration was needed.

“A traitor?” Huang Wei’s heart skipped a beat. If that were true, things would become even more complicated. She wasn’t all that familiar with the inner workings of the sect, yet she had to become the leader and avenge her father. What was she supposed to do now? In her panic, she looked to Ye Feng for help.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you. After all, I’m your personal bodyguard—I’ll do everything I can to support you!” Now was the time to show some manly resolve. Beside him, Aunt Huang Shan quickly added, “Wei’er, don’t worry. I’ll support you with everything I have as well!”

“Thank you, Aunt, thank you, Ye Feng. But what should we do next? We don’t have the faintest clue right now!” The problem was becoming more severe. If she didn’t handle this well, not only would she fail to inherit her father’s legacy and avenge him, but she might even lose her life.

“Sigh, right now, all we can do is take things one step at a time. I believe the traitor will act again. Let’s counter movement with stillness. Tomorrow we’ll hurry back to You County, get in touch with trusted people, and strengthen our forces. If necessary, we can even pursue legal channels.”

“All right, I’ll follow your lead. Let’s all get some rest now. Thank you for staying up all night. Aunt, you should rest early too!” Seeing how haggard her aunt looked, Huang Wei felt a pang of guilt. This was all her fault.

“We’re family—you don’t need to thank me. Wei’er, I’ll stay with you tonight.” Aunt Huang Shan was worried her niece might do something reckless. The blow had been severe, and even she struggled to bear it. For it to fall on such a once-naive girl—how could she not feel for her?

“Okay, thank you, Aunt.” Huang Wei smiled faintly—the first hint of a smile all night—then looked back at Ye Feng. “You should rest too. Thank you for everything.”

“It’s nothing, really.” Ye Feng shook his head. Nothing? Hardly! He recalled how both Huang Wei and Huang Shan had thrown themselves into his arms earlier. It had taken all his willpower to restrain himself—these were two stunning women, after all, and the softness pressing against him had tested his limits.

“Rest well, then.” With that, Huang Wei and Huang Shan walked away together. Ye Feng’s eyes lit up at the sight—two beautiful women walking away, those perfectly shaped hips swaying as if beckoning to him. Even though their curves were tightly wrapped in pants, the movement as they walked was mesmerizing. Ye Feng longed to rush over and grab them both, imagining how wonderful it would feel. He even felt something warm start to trickle from his nose.

Tsk, tsk. The figures of these two beauties were truly peerless. Above those round hips were slender waists—just the right balance of softness and firmness, no sign of excess flesh. How did they manage to keep their waists so enticing?

The next day, after bidding farewell to Aunt Huang Shan, Huang Wei left the provincial capital with Ye Feng. For safety’s sake, Ye Feng insisted on driving himself. He didn’t want anything to happen to Huang Wei because of a careless mistake.

“Ye Feng, I’m still worried. What should I do when we get there?” Ye Feng felt a headache coming on. He really didn’t know—his past missions had always been direct confrontations, taking down targets one by one. He’d rarely dealt with such subtle, intricate schemes.

“It’s all right, don’t worry. I’ll be by your side. You have nothing to fear—I’m not just any bodyguard, you know!” Ye Feng couldn’t explain it, but every time he saw Huang Wei like this, he felt a surge of tenderness, a desire to protect her—not just as an employee, but something more.

“Thank you, Ye Feng. With you here, I’m not afraid of anything. I know I was a bit headstrong before, but I’ll change, I promise!” As she spoke, Huang Wei’s mood darkened, recalling her father’s last words to her. She truly needed to grow up, to stop being so childish and willful. With her father gone, she was all alone now.

“Ye Feng, will you stay with me forever?” Suddenly, Huang Wei looked up at him, her eyes wistful. She didn’t know where she found the courage to ask such a question, especially so directly, but her heart fluttered wildly.

“Uh…” Ye Feng froze. He’d never really thought about it. He already had Aunt Wen in his life, so how could he consider another woman? But when he saw the sadness in Huang Wei’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse—especially when she gazed at him so earnestly.

“I knew it—you won’t. I know you like Wen Biyun. Am I really that unworthy?” Huang Wei seemed unwilling to let it go. She didn’t know why it mattered so much to her, but she stared at him, as if trying to read the truth in his clear eyes.

Ye Feng was truly at a loss. He never expected Huang Wei to change moods so quickly—her tears flowed like blossoming pear flowers. How old was she, really? He’d always dreaded seeing girls cry, so he hurried to comfort her. “It’s not that I don’t like you—I do like you.”

“Really?” In an instant, Huang Wei’s tears turned to a radiant smile. What a changeable woman—her mood was as fickle as summer weather! Her hands gripped Ye Feng’s arm tightly, as if afraid he might run away.

“Hey, I’m driving here! Do you want us to crash? Look, there’s a truck ahead!” Ye Feng thought this woman was simply too dangerous—her moods, so unpredictable. If not for his driving skills, who knew if they’d already be in an accident.

“And you call me ‘auntie’—do I really look that old?” Huang Wei gave him a flirtatious glance, and Ye Feng felt lightheaded. That look was just too alluring—a blend of mature charm and seductive grace.
