"You're full of crap!"
Xiao Feng, noticing the increasingly raucous whispers and laughter around him, grew visibly flustered.
"I… I've never eaten that… thing! Ugh!"
"Huang Yu has never been a good kid! Ugh! He's been abusing his family's power—don't believe a word he says! Ugh!~~"
Flustered gestures, stammered words, and occasional dry heaves triggered by unpleasant memories…
Despite Xiao Feng's righteous image within the police station, his reputation behind the scenes was far from spotless.
Most of the officers present had enough investigative experience not to take his claims seriously.
Seeing his carefully cultivated image crumble, veins bulging on his forehead, Xiao Feng grew furious and embarrassed.
"Good… very good."
He sneered at Huang Yu.
"Truly, the infamous Tianhai Fourth Young Master, quite the master of false accusations."
"Too bad this time it's a hired murder. Even if your old man tried to intervene, you're screwed."
"Lock him up in Detention Room Three."
"Detention Room Three?"
The officers transporting Huang Yu paled, disbelief etched across their faces.
"Captain Feng, Captain Han specifically said to isolate him."
"And Room Three… there's already someone in there—"
The officer stopped mid-sentence, as placing an ordinary person in that cell could easily lead to disaster.
Xiao Feng followed the officer's gaze around the room and cursed inwardly.
"Damn it, I acted too hastily!"
Some of the skeptical officers now looked at Xiao Feng with surprised, wary eyes.
Clearly, if it weren't for Huang Yu, Xiao Feng wouldn't have resorted to such a personal vendetta.
To maintain his image of fairness in front of Han Yuyao, Xiao Feng usually portrayed himself as just and impartial.
Now, committing such a base act, it was hard not to believe Huang Yu's words.
He had inadvertently confirmed the infamous restroom incident.
But regret was already too late.
"I said, Detention Room Three!"
"Are you questioning my orders?"
"No, no!"
The officers scrambled nervously at his outburst.
"Then move him now!"
"As for Captain Han, I'll explain when she returns."
Through gritted teeth, Xiao Feng seethed, eyes full of anger at Huang Yu.
If Huang Yu weren't from the Huang family, he would have torn him apart already.
Even now, he vowed Huang Yu wouldn't walk out of the station unscathed.
But outwardly, he kept his composure.
Glancing meaningfully at Huang Yu, a chill spark flickered in his eyes.
"You better behave and get along with your cellmates. Don't even think about causing trouble."
Unexpectedly, Huang Yu raised an eyebrow, replying lightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
A prison stay—something he had secretly longed for.
He imagined the fun of roughing up other inmates… how long would that land him in solitary? The thought alone excited him.
Even under threat, Huang Yu's eyes betrayed no fear, only a glimmer of anticipation.
Xiao Feng's fury deepened.
"How long do you think you can resist?"
Huang Yu's gaze, however, was filled with pity.
In the original story, Xiao Feng's fate was far from kind.
Because he dared compete for a woman against the Dragon King, he triggered absolute wrath.
His family was obliterated, and he himself suffered grievous injury at the hands of Xiao Zhan, leaving him emasculated.
Attempts at revenge turned him into a human oddity, ultimately destroyed by Xiao Zhan's design.
Even the Xiao family's twin sisters ended up in Xiao Zhan's harem.
A truly humiliating outcome, leaving Xiao Feng as nothing more than a cautionary tale.
Huang Yu, looking at him now with that knowing gaze, made Xiao Feng stiffen, face freezing.
"What's with that look?"
"Nothing," Huang Yu replied with a light laugh, shaking his head, withholding all knowledge of the original plot.
"I just… feel a little sorry for you."
Xiao Feng had seen that look before—the same one when his affections were repeatedly rejected, the same judgmental eyes when Huang Yu and Han Kun shoved his head into the toilet.
His expression darkened, eyes now venomous as a coiled snake.
Yet he quickly masked it.
Looking at Huang Yu's handcuffs, he forced a smile.
"Little Master Huang, taking pity on me now, huh?"
"I hear you've been trailing after President Liu of the Liu Corporation for years—they're even engaged now. Congratulations."
"But…"
His tone shifted, a malicious gleam appearing.
"Since you're betrothed, I'll make sure President Liu comes to visit you later."
He teased, smugness radiating from every word.
Everyone knew Huang Yu had been a desperate admirer for three years; even an engagement was forced by family pressure.
"What?"
Huang Yu, initially giddy at being locked up, froze.
"Are you out of your mind?"
That Liu Ruyan—he had barely escaped her last time at Liu Corp. Now, being forced to see her again? It was a living trap for Xiao Zhan!
"Xiao Feng! If you've got the guts, come at me like a man!"
"What kind of skills do you think that is?"
In desperation, Huang Yu lashed out, taunting him furiously.
"Scared now? Too late!"
Xiao Feng sneered quietly at Huang Yu's agitation.
Liu Ruyan had no interest in Huang Yu. Seeing him now in chains would only delight him…
Humph.
He chuckled to himself, ignoring the provocations. The more Huang Yu challenged him, the more he intended to proceed.
