139: Chapter 15 Proactive Attack_1 139: Chapter 15 Proactive Attack_1 While the two policemen were still combing through the case files at the station, Yan Fei, amid Lin Xiumei’s nagging, had already taken Yan Chao back to school.

Lin Xiumei wanted to make something else, but Yan Fei dissuaded her, stating that there was plenty of food on Vegetable Garden Island!

He had initially planned on preparing some fish himself, but with the one Lin Xiumei had given him, he didn’t have to.

The pickled vegetables were ready-made; he just needed to heat up some giant salamander meat.

The enclosed campus was a sanctuary unto itself.

Rumors of a thief beaten to death on the street were already rife, but the students still focused their discussions on topics like studies and examinations.

Yan Fei wasn’t interested in these, as long as he could take good care of his younger brother and eat well, it was enough.

“Hey, Yan Xiaofei, what do you think…” Lowly munching on her food, Xu Xiaoyan nudged him and whispered.

“What about?” Yan Fei was taken aback.

He had not been paying attention to what they were talking about, so he had no clue what it was.

“What if I decide to attend a university in Yanjing?” Xu Xiaoyan squinted at him in a pretend annoyance.

“Doesn’t matter, going to any university is fine.” Yan Fei was indifferent.

After all, they are all universities!

“But it’s far from home, and it won’t be so easy for me to visit.

You wouldn’t be able to come and see me either and I would probably only get to come home once a semester!” Xu Xiaoyan feigned despondency.

If one had any discernment, they could probably tell that she had already made up her mind and was merely making small talk.

“Study at the best place you can, no need to worry about tuition fees.

Even if you can’t come back, I’ll go and visit you!” Yan Fei carelessly replied while looking after Yan Chao.

The distance didn’t matter to him.

No matter how far, it was just a matter of flying a bit longer, what’s the big deal?

“Oh…” Clearly, the girl didn’t get the answer she was looking for and appeared unhappy.

She probably thought that he didn’t understand anything.

“You have no idea how far Yanjing is, even by train, it would take more than a day.

You have to go to school and raise cattle, so how would you have time to visit?

Even our short vacations aren’t long enough for the journey back and forth.”

“Oh!” Yan Fei grunted but remained silent.

He couldn’t exactly tell her that he was a magical creature who could undergo Seventy-two changes, and fly away with a flap of his wings, could he?

“Forget it, I’ll think it over!” Xu Xiaoyan sounded slightly downcast.

“Actually, I don’t really care what I study.

Anyway, I’ve decided that I want to pursue a useful major, something like biology would be great, especially subjects related to veterinary medicine or farming.

That way, when I come back home, I can help you raise cattle.”

Yan Fei was stunned.

Various images flashed through his mind, causing his expression to grow more and more odd.

He had seen a lot of veterinary work, and was quite familiar with treating sick animals and administering injections.

Particularly common were things like assisting livestock with birthing and breeding cattle.

Leaving aside the aspect of assisting with birth, where one could imagine the scene, let’s talk about the breeding of cattle.

The vet had to put on rubber gloves and insert their entire arm into the cattle from behind the tail.

Then they need to use a slender stainless steel tool to get the job done.

When they pull their arm out, it’s usually covered in a large amount of cow dung.

As soon as Xu Xiaoyan mentioned studying biology and veterinary medicine, all these images came to his mind.

The thought of Xu Xiaoyan studying this made him lose his appetite completely.

He didn’t even dare to eat his food.

“Well…” He stammered, rarely appearing so nervous.

“Maybe you should consider a different major?

There are so many majors in university, surely there are more suitable ones for a woman?

Our local veterinary clinic doesn’t have any female vets, does it?”

“Ah…” Xu Xiaoyan looked surprised initially, then after mulling it over and seeing Yan Fei’s grim expression, she probably guessed what he was thinking, immediately spat out, “Yan Xiaofei, what are you thinking?

The biology major I mentioned is not the same as the work at our local veterinary clinic.

Forget it, there’s no point explaining it to you as you won’t understand anyway.

I’ll think about it later.

It’s not time to fill out the college application yet.”

“Just don’t choose that one.

I’ll study it myself when I go to university.

That job is too dirty; it’s not suitable for women.

In short, you can’t choose this major.

Choose another one!” Yan Fei fumed at the thought of his college-educated wife routinely dealing with cow dung.

That’s why he was so adamant about this.

“Oh wow, such a loving couple!

The young man in love doesn’t want his wife to engage in dirty work, he would rather go to university himself…” Before Xu Xiaoyan could respond, their classmate Jingjing who was sitting next to them interjected gleefully.

“With such a great man, who needs to go to college?

Just learn to cook, do laundry, apply makeup and dress up!”

“Exactly!” Their classmate Xiao Wen chimed in.

“What a pity!

There’s no such major in the university.

Otherwise, it would have been perfect for Xiao Xingxing!”

Just now, Xu Xiaoyan and Yan Fei were whispering to each other, with two others here straining their ears to eavesdrop – they couldn’t contain their amusement and burst out laughing at the pair.

“Hmph!” Xu Xiaoyan’s face tinged a slight red, and then she glared with a look of envy.

“Say what you want!

It’s not as if I’m going to lose any hair.

How ridiculous, you’re enjoying food made by Yan Xiaofei and you can’t even be nice to me.

Don’t you fear that you won’t get any more in the future?”

This was her trump card.

The moment Xu Xiaoyan pulled this move, everybody bowed in submission.

Initially, there were two others who had no clue about what Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan were discussing.

They were asking Xiao Wen and Jingjing, but Xu Xiaoyan’s remark instantly changed their tune, prompting them to start excessively praising everything.

Miss Xu Xiaoyan cooperated generously, flaunting and treating all sarcastic “compliments” as if they were genuine.

After eating, she took Yan Chao out and they played outside for a while until Yan Chao got tired.

On their way back, the little fellow fell asleep on his back.

Then they ran into trouble.

Upon their return home, they found Yanfei’s mom venting her frustration.

Yan Wenhai had been out eating dinner and came home drunk.

Already dissatisfied, Lin Xiumei began to chide him.

Yan Fei arrived back in the middle of this and ended up getting scolded too: “Did you three plan this?

Not only did you choose to not have dinner at home, but you are also coming home so late!”

Luckily, Yan Chao, who was asleep on Yan Fei’s back, saved the day.

After Lin Xiumei had grumbled a bit, she hurriedly took Yan Chao and put him to bed.

Yan Fei pretended to rush off to clean himself, then sneaked into his room and locked the door from inside pretending to sleep, leaving Yanfei’s father alone to continue facing his wife’s grumble.

After his parents fell asleep, Yan Fei quietly opened the window, transformed into a cinerous vulture, spread his wings, and flew off.

Since Zhang Laosan had put up a reward of five thousand yuan to find the person who killed his brother, Yan Fei decided to ‘walk into the trap,’ taking the initiative to seek him out, hoping to get a chance to send him off to his brother.

Got money, right?

Have lots of brothers, right?

You’re offering rewards, right?

I’ll send you to meet your brother, let’s see if you can still offer rewards then!

Yan Fei didn’t think of himself as a serial killer, like a wanted criminal.

But now that there was a bounty on him, was he supposed to wait for Zhang Laosan to find his family?

Would that not be creating unnecessary trouble for his parents and brother?

Sister Hong did say that this guy was destined to fail sooner or later.

But since he’s threatened my family, why give him another chance to cause more problems?

As for the address of the Zhang family, Yan Fei remembered every word Fifth Brother had said, down to the letter.

Beside the east wall of the Meat Processing Factory!

At first, he thought it might be hard since the Meat Processing Factory is so big, but as soon as he flew above it, he saw it.

Chiding himself for being foolish, Yan Fei gently flapped his wings and quietly landed on a tall poplar tree.

Not far away, there was a brightly lit house hosting a funeral!

Yan Fei had worried for nothing.

When someone dies in a house, there’s bound to be some commotion.

How easy it will be to locate it!

Although he hadn’t seen the one-eyed fat man described by the Fifth Brother, Yan Fei believed that such a coincidental funeral would not likely be for another family.

The foliage on the poplar tree was already very dense.

At night, hiding a large bird in the tree crown is virtually invisible from outside.

Besides, over there with the bright funeral procession, even a passerby’s gaze would be drawn to it.

Who would look up at the tree?

And even if someone did, there would be nothing odd about a bird, other than it being slightly large.

However, even after watching for a long time, he had not seen his target.

But Yan Fei wasn’t in a hurry and continued to wait.
