Chapter 267: Retired Special Forces Soldier

"We just arrived as well," Lin Feng said.

Suddenly, a very discordant female voice rang out: "Cousin, is this person your fiancé Lin Feng? He doesn't look like much!"

Lin Feng and Lin Wei turned their heads to look, and saw a young man and woman walking in, holding hands very intimately.

The woman looked to be only twenty-one or twenty-two, very young, while the man was slightly older, about the same age as Lin Feng.

Su Mingyue hurriedly introduced them: "Lin Feng, this is my cousin Liu Jiatong, and this is Chen Hao, the boyfriend she met abroad."

"They just returned to the country not long ago and aren't used to things here yet, so please bear with them."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "It's fine."

Su Mingyue sat down beside Lin Feng, and Liu Jiatong and Chen Hao sat down as well.

Yet Liu Jiatong cast a very dissatisfied look at Lin Feng, which even contained a hint of disdain.

"What are we waiting for? Let's eat; we ordered so many dishes, don't let them go to waste," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Su Mingyue nodded and picked up her chopsticks to taste the food lightly.

That Liu Jiatong, however, suddenly asked: "Lin Feng, what do you do for a living?"

Lin Feng looked at Su Mingyue in confusion. Su Mingyue hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Lin Feng, your status is quite sensitive, so neither I nor my parents have told my cousin about your affairs, which is why she doesn't understand you."

"And since she just arrived in Jiangbei and isn't familiar with what has happened here, therefore..."

A look of realization appeared on Lin Feng's face, and he nodded, saying: "So that's how it is, I understand."

Afterward, Lin Feng cast an amused look at Liu Jiatong and said: "I don't have a job; I'm currently unemployed at home."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the expression on Su Mingyue's face suddenly became very strange, while Lin Wei almost burst out laughing.

Liu Jiatong's expression became even more contemptuous as she said: "No wonder you're dressed so poorly; it turns out you don't even have a job. I really find it strange—with my cousin's excellent conditions, how could she have taken a fancy to someone like you?"

"Do I have to be sufficiently outstanding for Mingyue to take a fancy to me? Then does she like me as a person, or does she like the conditions I possess?" Lin Feng countered.

The expression on Liu Jiatong's face became even uglier, and she said coldly: "It's one thing to have no ability, but you're actually making excuses. Someone like you isn't worthy of my cousin at all."

Seeming to have no interest in talking to Lin Feng anymore, Liu Jiatong looked at Su Mingyue and said: "Cousin, let's go. Eating with this kind of person is too demeaning; let's go eat somewhere else."

Su Mingyue was extremely embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment before saying: "Cousin, Lin Feng isn't as unbearable as you say; in fact, he is very capable."

"Capable? How is he capable?" Liu Jiatong asked immediately.

Before Su Mingyue could speak, Lin Wei had already said with a giggle: "My brother's martial arts skills are great; he's very good at fighting!"

Liu Jiatong was slightly stunned for a moment, then burst into uproarious laughter, laughing until tears were almost streaming from her eyes.

After laughing for a long time, Liu Jiatong finally stopped, and while panting, she pointed at Lin Feng and said: "I thought he had some merits; it turns out after all this time that he's just good at fighting. How truly shameless!"

"What era is this? What kind of skill is being able to fight? When you're out in the world, you look at background and you look at strength... don't misunderstand, the strength I'm talking about refers to career, the ability to make money!"

After a pause, Liu Jiatong added: "What use is being good at fighting? If my cousin really marries your brother, she'll probably be starving nine times out of three days!"

Lin Wei then said to Lin Feng: "Brother, did you hear that? She said sister-in-law will go hungry if she's with you!"

Lin Feng had absolutely no interest in proving anything; he just smiled and shook his head, not saying a single extra word.

Su Mingyue's cheeks had turned bright red by now.

She felt extremely embarrassed.

But she wasn't embarrassed because of Lin Feng; she felt that her cousin was too embarrassing!

"Jiatong, stop talking, let's eat," Su Mingyue said hurriedly, even grabbing a chicken leg and stuffing it into Liu Jiatong's mouth, attempting to plug that foul mouth of hers.

But Liu Jiatong pulled the chicken leg out of her mouth and said indignantly: "Cousin, I'm standing up for you; how can you be so muddled!"

"I just took a fancy to him, you don't need to say anything more," Su Mingyue said.

Liu Jiatong said angrily: "Do you really like him just because he can fight? No way!"

Immediately following this, Liu Jiatong patted Chen Hao, and Chen Hao then said: "Miss Su, I think you should be more cautious; after all, this is a major life event, you absolutely cannot treat it like child's play."

"Exactly, even if he can fight, could he possibly be better at fighting than my boyfriend? A-Hao is a Retired Special Forces Soldier, and he has received a Special Merit!" Liu Jiatong said with a proud face.

Hearing this, Lin Feng gave a long "Oh," and said with a half-smile: "Retired Special Forces Soldier? That impressive?"

"That goes without saying!" Liu Jiatong said very proudly, and she even slightly raised her chin, looking at people through her nostrils.

Observing Lin Feng's expression, Lin Wei realized something was wrong, so she cooperated and asked: "Sister Liu, is your boyfriend really a Retired Special Forces Soldier? Which military corps did he serve in before?"

Liu Jiatong was slightly stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Hao and asked: "Which military corps did you serve in before?"

The expression on Chen Hao's face was extremely awkward, and his eyes were somewhat evasive.

But after hesitating for a moment, he said: "I served in the 358th Corps."

"Which military region's 358th Corps?" Lin Feng asked again.

The Dragon Kingdom is divided into five major military regions: East Military Region, South Military Region, West Military Region, North Military Region, and Central Military Region, each with one War God responsible for guarding it, with the remaining three War Gods rotating in replacement.

And each military region is further divided into one hundred corps, numbered from 001 to 100.

This is the current military corps establishment of the Dragon Kingdom; Chen Hao stating the corps number 358 was clearly problematic.

Lin Feng even suspected that he had watched too many TV dramas and was just making things up.

"It's the one in the eastern military region..." Chen Hao said evasively.

"Why are you being so vague? Are you really a Retired Special Forces Soldier?" Lin Wei asked with a smile.

Liu Jiatong got anxious and said angrily: "You don't believe it, right? A-Hao, take out your credentials and show them, let them open their eyes!"

Chen Hao bit the bullet, took his credentials out of his pocket, and handed them to Lin Wei.

Lin Feng only had to look at it once to almost laugh out loud.

Because these credentials were crudely made, even having rough edges; the details were handled very poorly.

And on the cover, there were the striking large characters—Special Forces Credentials!

Real credentials would never write the words "Special Forces Credentials" directly on the cover.

"How about it, do you believe it now? Let me tell you, A-Hao is very impressive; he has participated in over twenty battles, large and small, killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and has been awarded one Special Merit, three First Class Merits, and five Third Class Merits..."
