Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 143 Detective Squad 2.0: Begin Listening

Yifei's words silenced Wanyu, Meijia, and Xiaoxian.

They originally thought that Nanfeng's story of running away from home would be similar to Wanyu's. If Wanyu's story resonated with the melody of freedom, then Nanfeng's story should be filled with poetic and romantic colors.

Just like the two of them themselves.

In their minds, given Nanfeng's impulsive nature, it was likely that on some ordinary night, while looking at the commonplace scenery, an idea would suddenly pop into his head.

The world is so big, I want to go see it.

Then he packed his bags that very night and headed off to distant places to find his own poetry and romance.

Unexpectedly, the story behind Nanfeng's running away from home was one that left everyone heartbroken and speechless.

"That's how it is. Do you have any other questions?" Yifei asked.

She spoke the truth in every word, but omitted some details.

For example, the head injury Nanfeng suffered, and the fact that he left behind almost all his money and insurance compensation when he ran away from home.

Yifei couldn't tell everyone the whole truth without Nanfeng's consent. She knew Nanfeng too well; he was far more arrogant and stubborn than anyone imagined.

He would never allow anyone to look at him with pity and sympathy, and if that really happened, Nanfeng would definitely find a way to leave.

This is why the old man and Aunt Gu eventually sent Nanfeng to their place.

Everyone needs someone to keep an eye on Nanfeng. This person needs to know the truth, but not to provoke Nanfeng's rebellious emotions because of knowing the truth.

Many people know the truth, but few meet this condition.

The stubborn, rigid, and unsmiling old man won't do; Aunt Gu, who is so busy that she has almost no personal time, won't do either; and no one else will do either.

We can't just send Nanfeng to his ancestors and let them stare at each other blankly.

Therefore, the only person who can take on this task is someone who is nominally an elder but also someone I grew up with. Fortunately, she is currently sharing an apartment with someone else, so there's no need to worry about gossip.

The three remained silent in the face of Yifei's question.

Seeing everyone's somber expressions, Zhanbo said with a grin, "Actually, there's no need for everyone to be like this. I was also shocked and saddened when I heard the news abroad, but no matter what, it's been more than three years since then."

"Look at Nanfeng, she's doing very well now and seems very happy."

Hearing Zhanbo's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, no matter how many storms we've weathered in the past, for Nanfeng now it's a sunny day after the rain.

The past may have been wonderful, but nothing beats the peace and health we have now.

Having regained some composure, Xiaoxian tentatively asked, "Nanfeng ran away from home, so why was he sent to your place by his grandfather?"

Yifei puffed out her chest and said rather proudly, "Of course, it's because Grandpa knows I'm particularly good at taking care of people."

"Snapped!"

Zhanbo, who had been cared for by Yifei since childhood, covered his face in anguish.

"Hahaha……"

After Yifei said that, seeing Zhanbo looking extremely pained, Xiaoxian and the other two burst into laughter, and their mood finally improved.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with all that laughing?" Yifei stomped her foot in exasperation. "Don't I know how to take care of people?"

"Yes, yes, you're really good at taking care of people, but Nanfeng lives in a suite all by himself, and we haven't seen you taking care of him at all." Meijia laughed so hard she could hardly breathe.

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed and walked a good distance away from Yifei before daring to pick up on her secrets: "Nanfeng did indeed live with Yifei in 3601 at first, but in less than a month, Yifei kicked open the door to Nanfeng's bedroom three times. She couldn't stand it anymore and moved to 3603 to live alone."

"Zeng Xiaoxian!"

Yifei pretended to rush over to teach Zeng Xiaoxian a lesson, but was held back tightly by Zhanbo, Wanyu, and Meijia.

"Teacher Zeng, please tell us what happened. Don't worry, we will protect you." Wan Yu hugged Yi Fei and assured Zeng Xiaoxian with great confidence.

Normally they wouldn't dare help Zeng Xiaoxian deal with Yifei, but things are different now.

As everyone knows, gossip and rumors are the primary driving force behind Love Apartment's success.

With the gossip right in front of them, even if Yifei and the other two were angry, they could hold their ground for the time being.

Seeing that someone was backing him up, Xiaoxian laughed even more unrestrainedly.

He burst into laughter and said, "Nanfeng hadn't told her that she was a voice actor during that time. She usually did voice acting all by herself in her room."

"As it turned out, that month Nanfeng had some rather... well, you know, plots to dub."

"Good heavens, they've set up a scene where someone forces themselves on you. Nanfeng was just yelling 'No!' in a woman's voice when Yifei kicked him with a thud."

"In a scene with a drug addict, less than three minutes in, she kicked him again with a thud."

"Add a suicide scene, and before she could even finish her last words, Yifei almost kicked the door right into Nanfeng."

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed and coughed repeatedly: "With her taking care of him like this, and not even a month has passed, Nanfeng has already spent four figures to replace the door."

"She actually has the nerve to say she's really good at taking care of people, hahaha..."

Hearing Xiaoxian's revelation, Meijia and the other two burst into laughter.

Once they let go, no one could stop Hu Yifei, who was losing face completely.

"Zeng! Xiao! Xian!"

Yifei rushed forward at lightning speed and unleashed a flurry of punches on Zeng Xiaoxian.

Zhanbo and the other two looked at the horrified Teacher Zeng and decided... well, they shouldn't laugh too loudly.

When gossip is right in front of them, even if Yifei and the other two get angry, they can hold their own for now.

But it's only temporary.

Now that they've heard all the gossip, how could they possibly dare to stop Yifei?

As for Teacher Zeng...

Wanyu, Meijia can only wish him all the best and hope he can hold on.

After all, once Yifei has taught Teacher Zeng a lesson, she probably won't come back to punish us.

Wanyu and Meijia gave each other a high five in a playful manner. Seeing that Zhanbo was a few beats slow to react, Wanyu grabbed his hand and gave the three of them a high five again.

The three high-fives and Xiaoxian's screams mingled together, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere among them.

……

After Yifei stood up and straightened her clothes, she let out a satisfied sigh: "So comfortable."

Squatting on the ground, Zeng Xiaoxian, his clothes disheveled, cried out in despair, "Hu Yifei, I hate you!"

"So what if I beat you up and you got dark circles under your eyes? You're a real man, why are you making such a fuss?" Yifei clapped her hands. "You should learn from Guan Gu. I beat him up and he got panda eyes last night, but he's been acting like nothing happened all day."

"He's a cartoonist, and I'm a host. He doesn't even need to be on camera, so how can we be the same?" Zeng Xiaoxian said, feeling wronged.

It's one thing to be a radio host, since you can't see his face anyway. I wonder if those panda eyes will disappear when he hosts "A Date with Xiaoxian".

Yifei sneered, "Serves you right. Who told you to be so foul-mouthed?"

She turned to Zhanbo and asked, "Where were we talking about just now?"

Before Zhanbo could reply, Yifei shook her head: "Forget it, if we keep chatting, Nanfeng and Yumo will finish their hotpot, and we'll be standing here starving."

Although Zeng Xiaoxian was a bit of a jerk, what he said before wasn't wrong. If he didn't act proactively at this time, Wanyu and Meijia would definitely notice something was wrong.

That's why she's already been quite lenient with this bitch tonight.

Otherwise, with his limited abilities, how could he possibly afford to eat two meals a night?

That bitch is so annoying.

Humph.

Yifei pointed irritably at the hot pot restaurant: "Let's go in and see what they're really up to."

After she finished speaking, she made a shushing gesture.

Everyone understood immediately and gave Yifei an OK sign.

So the group of five, with their backs bent, quietly entered the hot pot restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with noise and melodious music, and countless hot pots were boiling and bubbling. This noisy environment made everyone feel relaxed.

With her agility and decent eyesight, Yifei quietly raised her head and looked around. Not seeing Nanfeng and Yumo, she gave everyone an OK sign.

Everyone straightened up and found a secluded corner nearby to sit down.

As the shop assistant greeted him, Xiaoxian pointed to his throat, then took out his phone and typed in his notes that he and his group were mute and unable to speak.

Under the sympathetic gaze of the staff, the five hungry people ordered a hot pot with two broths and a generous amount of ingredients.

With her head down, Mika quickly pulled everyone into the chat group of last night's "Detective Squad," and then swiftly kicked Guan Gu and Curry Sauce out.

[Peerless Little Diaochan]: "Has everyone seen where Nanfeng and the others are?"

[Brother Xian, a true man]: "Didn't see it."

[Tang Seng loves Pantene shampoo]: "I just looked at the store's floor plan. If we didn't spot Nanfeng and the others just now, they're probably around the corner."

As Zhanbo spoke, he posted the structural diagram he had just taken in the group chat, and thoughtfully circled the areas where Nanfeng and Yumo might be.

【Feifeifei, the very beautiful giant rabbit】: "I'll go take a look."

[The runaway princess]: Feifei, take this with you.

Wanyu took out a miniature listening device from her pocket. She had brought it with her last night when she and Curry Sauce went to eavesdrop on Zhanbo, but they didn't have a chance to use it then.

She had specifically put the bugging device in her pocket to return it to Guan Gu, but she hadn't expected that she would be inseparable from Zhan Bo all day and wouldn't be able to find a chance to be alone with Guan Gu.

Yifei looked at the tiny, button-sized gadget in her hand, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what it was.

【Feifeifei's Very Beautiful Giant Rabbit】: What is this?

【The Runaway Princess】: An attached eavesdropping device.

A bugging device?!

Yifei, Zhanbo, and Xiaoxian almost couldn't help but gasp out.

[Tang Seng loves Pantene shampoo]: Wanyu...why do you carry a bugging device with you all the time?

[The runaway princess]: Um... Meijia asked me to take her with me, just in case.

[Peerless Little Diaochan]: Me?

【Peerless Little Diaochan】: Oh right, I asked her to get it from Guan Gu's detective toolbox.

Meijia quickly tried to cover for Wanyu, as she couldn't very well let Wanyu explain what happened last night in front of Zhanbo.

【Xian Ge is a real man】: Detective toolbox? I didn't expect Guan Gu to have something like this. I'll go ask him to borrow it another day.

Yifei didn't like to waste words. She simply asked Wanyu how to use the bugging device before tiptoeing towards the corner.

Yifei slowed her steps, slowed her breathing, and quietly peeked out from around the corner.

Nanfeng and Yumo were indeed eating hot pot together not far away. Perhaps because the area was too noisy and there were too many people coming and going, Nanfeng didn't even notice that Yifei was nearby.

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Yifei was furious.

I went to great lengths to cover for you two, and you two just abandoned everyone and came to eat hot pot!

And Yu Mo, you're a girl, can't you smile a little more reservedly?

If you smile like that, even if it were a woman, let alone a man, she would be smitten.

In such a noisy environment, Yifei couldn't hear the conversation between the two at all. She could only take out the bug and flick her finger. A slight whooshing sound rang out, and the bug was firmly attached to the underside of the table next to the two in the next instant.

success.

Yifei struck her target with deadly precision and immediately left silently.

Nanfeng was drawn to a strange sound by his ear, and he looked at the next table in confusion.

Seeing that the next table was empty and it seemed like nothing had happened, he looked back in the direction where the sound of something cutting through the air had originated.

This hot pot restaurant is indeed doing very well; in just a short while, quite a few people have been coming and going around the corner.

"What's wrong?" Yu Mo was chatting happily when she saw Nan Feng suddenly stop, and she asked curiously.

Nanfeng smiled and shook his head: "It's alright, let's continue."

Yifei quietly sat back down in her seat and gave an OK sign.

Everyone gave her a thumbs up.

Wanyu took out Bluetooth earphones and handed them to Yifei and the others.

The five people craned their necks, listening intently into the two small Bluetooth earpieces.

As Wanyu turned up the volume on her phone, Nanfeng and Yumo's voices gradually became clearer.

Upon hearing Nanfeng and Yumo's conversation, Yifei's expression instantly became quite interesting.

South wind, feather ink.

You two bastards!!!

I'm coming
