Chapter 1165 — Fool or Genius? Xie Yufeng Landed a Punch and Was Instantly Overjoyed: Sure Enough, His Guess Had Been Right — This Old Man, Too, Had Secrets and Was Hiding His Strength!

After the greeting, Chen Xi's gaze drifted back to Xie Yufeng and Grandpa Zhu. Xie Yufeng clearly had no intention of letting the old man go. He was seething inside; he had been pent up beyond endurance these past days — time and again, forced by circumstance to conceal his strength and take a pounding from men whose power was inferior to his own.
But now Xie Yufeng was finally enjoying himself. Old thing, so you were hiding your strength too? How does it feel, getting pounded by someone weaker than you?
Whether Grandpa Zhu was enjoying it or not, Xie Yufeng certainly was — enjoying it beyond words. It was a sense of accomplishment, the long-suppressed kind, at last erupting. Now he felt that he and the one who had bullied him had traded places.
Inside, the old man must be just as stifled as he himself had been — strength to spare, nowhere to use it! Wahaha! The more Xie Yufeng hit, the higher his spirits rose; he wanted to vent every humiliation of these past days onto this old man's hide.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go." Wei Zhao had no intention of lingering. Whatever the old man's identity, whatever his nature — so long as he bore Chen Xi no ill will for now, Wei Zhao had no reason to worry about leaving her here.
He believed that the moment he left, the whole scene would turn on its head. Xie Yufeng, from being the one doing the beating, would certainly become the one beaten.
"Wei Zhao, why don't you stop Xie Yufeng?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback; she had not expected Wei Zhao to ignore it all and simply walk off, and she looked puzzled.
"Come on, let's go back." Wei Zhao shot Feng Xiaoxiao a meaningful glance and pulled her after him.
Though Feng Xiaoxiao did not see what he meant, she knew Wei Zhao's craft well enough to be sure there was a reason, so she said nothing more. She stole one look at Chen Xi and followed him away.
Over there, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu and Tang Zhi could hardly stomach watching Xie Yufeng beat up an old man either — but what stunned them was that Wei Zhao was letting it happen.
Gu Mengyao was about to say something when Shen Yushu, gazing thoughtfully first at Grandpa Zhu and then at Xie Yufeng, tugged her sleeve: "Sister Yaoyao, Arrow Bro's already in the car. Let's go — I want to go home!"
Tang Zhi wanted to speak too, but seeing that Feng Xiaoxiao held her tongue, in the end she said nothing either, and they all got into the car.
Only when Wei Zhao had started the car and driven a fair distance did Feng Xiaoxiao finally voice what had been bothering her: "Hubby Wei Zhao, how could you just let Xie Yufeng beat that old man?"
"Really? If Xie Yufeng truly meant to hurt him, my guess is the old man would have been beaten to death long ago." Wei Zhao smiled.
Feng Xiaoxiao blinked, not quite following. But Shen Yushu slapped her forehead and cried out: "That old man is a master hand too! Only, before Arrow Bro, he must have been hiding his strength as well!"
Wei Zhao glanced back at Xiaoshu with some surprise. He had not expected her to hit the mark.
Of all the girls around him, the cleverest was unquestionably Xiaoshu. She could look utterly daft at times, but Wei Zhao felt it was a mask — or rather, that she truly wanted to be just such a silly girl, not a genius who foresaw every move.
