Peach-Orange! – Chapter 310 – Successful Boot-Up

Almost the moment Su Tao left, Chi Song arrived at the farmhouse with Chi Xiaocheng in tow.

At the same time, they ran into Si Chen, who had rushed over immediately after getting off his flight.

The usually rational and composed glasses-wearing man now had a barely detectable trace of anger on his face.

“Chi Xiaocheng, what’s the situation now?”

“Five minutes ago, my location-sharing with Tao-Tao still showed her inside this farmhouse. This estate belongs to your Si family, right? She must have been taken hostage by Chu Lingfeng!”

Chi Xiaocheng spoke with absolute certainty, her voice laced with fury.

She hadn’t noticed any suspicious moves from Chu Lingfeng and Xiao Ming during the New Year and thought they’d settled down.

But now it seemed these two, favored by the will of the world, were either targeting Su Tao or on their way to target her.

“If Tao-Tao loses even a single hair, I’ll make sure Chu Lingfeng loses his other ear too!”

Her voice was resolute, and at some point, a small fruit knife had appeared in her hand.

Si Chen, observing her crimson vertical pupils, unconsciously touched the side of his own face with lingering fear.

Last time, it was this very fruit knife that had nearly cost him his life.

This seemingly frail little body hid potentially limitless power.

Clearing his throat, Si Chen watched as Chi Xiaocheng strode into the estate and said to Chi Song, “Brother Chi Song, don’t worry about the security or damage here. This is my Si family’s estate. I have authority here. Just take control of the place.”

“Got it!”

Chi Song nodded firmly and immediately directed his men to surround all exits of the estate.

Meanwhile, Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen, accompanied by two bodyguards, headed inside.

Chi Xiaocheng was puzzled at first. Why would Chu Lingfeng set up his base in a small farmhouse? But she soon understood.

Like Su Tao before her, her jaw nearly dropped when she discovered the hidden extravagance within.

She shot Si Chen a deep look. “You rich people really know how to live.”

Especially when she saw the artificial pool filled with bikini-clad women, she couldn’t help but ponder.

The good life of the wealthy was truly enviable.

Once everything settled down and she made enough money, maybe she and Tao-Tao could enjoy this kind of luxury too…

Fine, no pretenses. She just wanted to see Su Tao in a swimsuit, shyly crossing her legs.

Unaware of her thoughts, Si Chen adjusted his glasses seriously. “I’m not that kind of person. Right now, finding Chu Lingfeng and Su Tao is the priority.”

“I know.”

Just as Chi Xiaocheng was about to check Su Tao’s location on her phone, she suddenly sensed hostility from afar.

At the very edge of her alert skill’s detection range, she still picked up that incongruous feeling.

Her head snapped up as she looked to the right.

Outside a small villa, a man in a gray overcoat was sneaking around while glancing in their direction.

Even from this distance, Chi Xiaocheng recognized him instantly.

“This way, follow me.”

Her body might be weak, but in her darkened state, she could run astonishingly fast.

Within moments, Chu Lingfeng, who had been trying to slip away unnoticed, felt his scalp go numb.

This had to be a ghost! How could she have spotted him trying to escape?

And if the entire estate was surrounded, there’d be no way out….

Chu Lingfeng’s face darkened as his eyes darted between Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen, strategizing.

Should he back down?

Impossible. He, Chu Lingfeng, was an honored guest of the Si family, destined for a place in the capital’s elite. How could he flee?

Fight them head-on?

He couldn’t defeat Chi Xiaocheng, but they only brought two bodyguards. Four people total.

On his side? Six bodyguards, all his loyal men with no ties to the Si family. Plus, he was no pushover himself.

Seven against four. The advantage was his!

With nearly double the numbers, how could they lose?

Besides, Su Tao wasn’t even here anymore. Why panic?

Having reasoned this out, Chu Lingfeng regained his composure, though he discreetly palmed a silver needle. Lighting a cigarette, he waited leisurely for their approach.

As they drew near, he exhaled a smoke ring. “You two, what’s the meaning of surrounding my territory like this?”

Before Chi Xiaocheng could speak, Si Chen scoffed. “Your territory? This is the Si family’s estate. A nobody surnamed Chu should know his place as the Si family’s dog. What, now you think you can sit at the table?”

The sharp words froze Chu Lingfeng’s smile.

Nothing angered him more than insults about his origins.

No matter how divine his medical skills, his rural background would always make him an outsider in high society.

His expression darkened instantly.

“Si Chen, you’re just an ostracized second son with no real power. The only reason anyone tolerates you is your last name. Don’t overestimate your importance.”

Chu Lingfeng flung his cigarette to the ground. “Why don’t you walk around and see how many people in this ‘Si family estate’ actually obey you?”

Si Chen chuckled. “No matter how sidelined I am, I’m still a Si heir. Since when does a dog growl at its master?

“I’ve long heard Si Zhenliu has… unusual tastes, regardless of gender. Given how hard you suck up to him, Chu Lingfeng, did you climb into that 70-year-old’s bed? How desperate can you be?”

The stream of insults made even Chi Xiaocheng reassess Si Chen.

In her mind, he’d always been the calm, rational type, occasionally playing comic relief after being branded with “Never Love Tao.”

Who knew he had this hidden vulgar side?

Meanwhile, Chu Lingfeng’s face had turned puce.

Clenching his fists, he roared, “You Si bastard, you’re courting death!”

His six bodyguards immediately flanked him. Their imposing aura clearly marking them as ex-military.

Si Chen glanced at his own two nervous bodyguards, his expression sobering.

He didn’t know about Chu Lingfeng’s combat skills, but the Thirteen Taiyi Needles were famous throughout Jiuzhou City, clearly not to be underestimated.

In a real fight, they might be outmatched.

Unless….

His eyes flicked to Chi Xiaocheng, who stood watching impassively. Abruptly changing tactics, he said to Chu Lingfeng, “What, are you planning to take us down here and then kidnap Su Tao?”

The words seemed to trigger something in Chi Xiaocheng. Her eyebrow twitched slightly.

Chu Lingfeng burst into laughter. “Hahaha! So what if I am? Your biggest mistake was bringing just two people to confront me. You brought this on yourselves!”

His face twisted into a savage grin. “Si Chen, you like Su Tao too, don’t you? Too bad, she’ll be mine soon enough!”

At this moment, Si Chen noted the chilling aura radiating from Chi Xiaocheng and nodded inwardly.

Perfect.
