My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 127 - 126: Return to Qingfeng Mountain

"Thank you so much for just now," Ouyang Lan said apologetically, "for using you as a shield to drive that guy away..."

"Is he your suitor?" Gao Fei asked.

Ouyang Lan nodded, "He's been chasing me for quite some time. I've already made it very clear that I'm not interested, but he just won't give up. He comes to bother me every few days, and I'm about to be driven mad by him." By the end of her sentence, Ouyang Lan had made a very vexed expression.

"That certainly is a problem," Gao Fei nodded in agreement.

"You have to give me some advice," Ouyang Lan looked at Gao Fei expectantly, "What should I do?"

"There's one way that's the simplest and most effective."

"What way? Hurry and tell me."

"Hurry up and find a man to marry. Once you're married, he'll give up for good."

"What?!" Ouyang Lan glared at Gao Fei, "I'm still young, I don't want to get married."

"Then you should move, and change your cell phone number too. That way, he won't be able to find you," Gao Fei continued to offer suggestions.

Ouyang Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "This method is feasible... but it's a bit of a hassle to carry out... Ah!" Suddenly, Ouyang Lan let out a loud exclamation.

"What happened?" Gao Fei asked puzzled.

"I forgot something very important... I have to go, let's talk another day," Ouyang Lan left in a hurry.

Gao Fei cracked a smile, "This little nurse is quite interesting."

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Gao Fei's cellphone, which was in his pocket, suddenly rang. He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number: "Hello? Who's this?"

"I'm Xia Tao," a deep male voice came from the phone, "We met a few days ago."

"Oh, it's you," Gao Fei asked, "What do you want?"

"Do you have time right now? I'd like to meet with you!" Xia Tao said, "There's something very important I need to discuss with you."

"I'm free now," Gao Fei nodded.

After agreeing on a meeting place, they ended the call.

...

Half an hour later.

The two met at a teahouse.

"Mr. Gao, please have a seat," Xia Tao greeted Gao Fei, then personally poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Go ahead, what did you want to see me for?" Gao Fei asked.

"We've encountered a bit of trouble recently and would like Mr. Gao's assistance," Xia Tao replied.

"What kind of trouble?"

"It's like this..." Xia Tao continued to explain the troubling situation they had encountered...

A few days ago, there were numerous inexplicable disappearances in the Northeast; the local police took this seriously and dispatched a large number of officers to search for the missing people. Strangely enough, the officers handling the case were all murdered, dying in a gruesome manner: their eyes gouged out, their blood drained, and limbs broken...

Afterward, the case alarmed Xia Tao, who personally took his team to the Northeast to investigate. After several days of grueling investigation, they finally uncovered a clue... a pack of werewolves had abducted a large number of people, and it was these werewolves who had killed the officers...

One dark night, Xia Tao and his team encountered the werewolves out on a mission, leading to a fight to the death. In the end... Xia Tao and his people were defeated. Out of over thirty people, only about a dozen managed to escape; the rest were all killed in battle...

As he spoke, tears began to stream down Xia Tao's face, "I let them down! It was my fault they died! If it weren't for my underestimation, they wouldn't have had to die." Xia Tao clenched his fists tightly, his expression fierce and frightening, "I must avenge them!

I must take revenge!!!" The subordinates that had died under his command were those he had painstakingly trained; each had a deep bond with him, and a few had fought the werewolves to their deaths to buy Xia Tao enough time to escape.

"Werewolves?" Gao Fei furrowed his brow.

"Werewolves are a special race from the West, with the heads of wolves and the bodies of men, possessing great strength," Xia Tao explained, "There have been claims that werewolves are the result of a union between humans and wolves, savage in nature and bloodthirsty... They've always been active in the West and almost never set foot in the East...

I really don't understand why they would appear in Huaxia... And why would they abduct Huaxia civilians? What is their purpose?" Xia Tao was puzzled by these questions.

Xia Tao had racked his brains these past few days to deal with the werewolves and, finding no other solution, he had come to seek Gao Fei's help.

"People with wolf heads..." Gao Fei's frown deepened.

"Mr. Gao, what's wrong?" Xia Tao asked in confusion, "Is something the matter?"

"I've encountered creatures with wolf heads," Gao Fei stated, "About a month ago."

"Where?" Xia Tao pressed urgently.

"In the Northeast, Qingfeng Mountain."

"What? Qingfeng Mountain!?"

"What's wrong?"

"According to my investigation, the pack of werewolves that abducted the Huaxia civilians are hiding inside Qingfeng Mountain," Xia Tao shared.

"What a coincidence?" Gao Fei's eyes narrowed.

"We must have encountered the same pack of werewolves," Xia Tao said.

"No," Gao Fei shook his head, "It wasn't the same pack of werewolves! What I saw was a… a werewolf monster that had lived for a very long time. It was bound by chains, and I couldn't sense any signs of life; it must have been dead."

"What?" Xia Tao was stunned. "A werewolf monster? Bound by chains? Why does this all sound more and more confusing to me?"

"It's like this…" Gao Fei briefly explained how he discovered the werewolf monster.

"There's such a thing?" A sharp light flickered in Xia Tao's eyes. "There must be some issues here… and not just small ones! If it's not handled properly, it could potentially cause a huge disaster."

"We're now in a high-tech society, the era where firearms rule the world. You can use guns to deal with werewolves," said Gao Fei. "Surely those werewolves can't withstand bullets, no matter how strong they are, right?"

"You're wrong," Xia Tao said with a bitter smile. "Those werewolves are not afraid of bullets at all… Really, I'm not lying to you, the bullets don't effect them in the slightest…"

"Not afraid of bullets?" Gao Fei's expression grew solemn. "That's some serious power!"

"We did consider using bombs, but those werewolves are cunning. They just hide inside Qingfeng Mountain and won't come out. Using bombs rashly could potentially destroy Qingfeng Mountain… Qingfeng Mountain is a mountain range under national protection, and also considered a 'Guardian God' by the locals.

If we were to destroy Qingfeng Mountain, it would definitely cause major troubles, so that's not an option unless it's absolutely necessary."

"You want me to deal with those werewolves?" Gao Fei asked.

"Yes," Xia Tao nodded. "I really had no other choice but to come to you… Please, you must agree. Don't worry, I won't let you do it for nothing. I'll compensate you handsomely…"

Gao Fei curled his lips. "You have that much confidence in me?"

"Yes," Xia Tao nodded vigorously. "I believe that with your strength, you can definitely take on those werewolves." Regardless of what Xia Tao truly thought, the words he spoke were encouraging and pleasant to hear.

After a moment of silence, Gao Fei nodded. "Alright, I agree, but I have one condition."

"Tell me," Xia Tao's face brightened immediately as Gao Fei agreed. "Whatever it is, I'll agree to it."

"I will take on the werewolves, but if I encounter an insurmountable danger, I will retreat without hesitation. You mustn't blame me then."

"Okay, no problem."

"Give me one day to prepare. We'll set off tomorrow."

"Alright, we'll do as you say."

...

The next day, Gao Fei and Xia Tao left Bright Pearl City. Lu Hao wanted to follow, but Gao Fei refused, which left Lu Hao quite displeased.

Xia Tao took Gao Fei straight to the airport, then pointed at a helicopter and said, "We'll take this. It'll save us a lot of time."

"Rumble, rumble…"

Once Gao Fei and Xia Tao were seated, the helicopter slowly rose, then streaked away toward the Northeast like a shooting star.

There were many advantages to traveling by helicopter. First, there was no worry about traffic. Second, it was incredibly fast. The only downside was that it was somewhat riskier. A car trip to the Northeast would take over twenty hours, but by helicopter, it only took five to six hours, saving more than half the time.

In the afternoon, the helicopter gently landed at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.

"Click!"

The cabin door opened and Gao Fei and Xia Tao stepped out.

"Boss!" A man in a suit ran from a distance, saluting Xia Tao with great respect.

"How's it going?" Xia Tao asked.

"All is normal," the man in the suit replied. "That pack of werewolves is still hiding inside Qingfeng Mountain."

"Continue surveillance. If anything happens, report back immediately," Xia Tao ordered.

"Yes." The suited man turned and ran off.

Gao Fei took one glance and noted that the military police had already surrounded Qingfeng Mountain. Every officer was holding a machine gun, their expressions stern, their presence formidable. Some civilians tried to approach but were driven away by the military police.

"I'll go take a look up the mountain," Gao Fei said, stepping forward.

"Mr. Gao, let me accompany you…" Xia Tao caught up.

"No need. I'm more agile alone. I can retreat timely in case of danger. If I take you, it could be troublesome." Gao Fei's implication was clear: Xia Tao's abilities were lesser, and his presence could hinder him.

Xia Tao's face reddened. "Alright, I'll wait here for you. Be sure to stay safe."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Gao Fei climbed the stone stairs with steady steps, ascending the mountain. After a short while, his figure vanished from sight.

"Dear heavens, please protect Gao Fei," Xia Tao prayed silently in his heart.

...

Soon, Gao Fei reached the mountainside and then saw a cave. Its location was quite concealed; it was practically invisible unless one paid close attention. That werewolf monster was inside the cave.

Gao Fei lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, then soared into the air, landing gracefully in front of the cave.
