Chapter 418: Must Get It Back

~7 min read 1,277 words

"I have already heard it!" this middle-aged man roared.

This man was none other than Lu Baihui and Lu Bailing's father, the current Head of the Lu Family, Lu Guangwei.

Lu Guangwei had been standing at the doorway and heard everything Lu Baihui and Lu Bailing said, so he was currently furious; the moment he entered the room, he raised his large, fan-like hand and fiercely slapped Lu Bailing's firm, rounded little bottom several times.

Lu Bailing wailed as she was struck, her delicate body trembling repeatedly.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, it hurts so much, I was wrong..."

Lu Bailing cried incessantly, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Guangwei finally stopped, but the look of rage on his face did not fade, and he shouted aggressively, "Bailing, you love to mess around, and I usually can't be bothered to manage you, but this time you have gone too far!"

"That set of... is something passed down by our Lu Family ancestors, and by my generation it has already..."

Before Lu Guangwei could finish his sentence, Lu Bailing said with a sobbing tone, "Stop talking, you've told me the story of that Heirloom a hundred or eighty times already, my ears are almost calloused."

"Then how dare you steal it and give it to someone else? What on earth were you thinking!" Lu Guangwei roared.

Lu Baihui also said, "That's right Bailing, even if that Lin Feng saved your life, you shouldn't have stolen our family's Heirloom to give to him."

"But other than the Heirloom, there was nothing else in our family that could make him look twice," Lu Bailing said weakly.

"Who exactly is that Lin Feng?" Lu Guangwei asked.

Lu Baihui also wanted to know the answer to this question, so she stared at Lu Bailing without blinking, waiting for her to say the answer.

Yet, to her and Lu Guangwei's utter disbelief, after holding it in for a long time, Lu Bailing only managed to squeeze out three words: "I don't know..."

"You... you spendthrift daughter, you money-waster! You don't even know who that Lin Feng is, yet you gave him our family's Heirloom? I think you've lost your mind!"

Lu Guangwei was hopping mad, pulling out his belt to lash out at Lu Bailing.

Lu Bailing dodged left and right in the room like a monkey, crying as she said, "I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be so impatient!"

"Then speak! Once you finish, I'll continue hitting you!" Lu Guangwei roared.

Lu Bailing covered her bottom, tears streaming down as she said, "Although I don't know who Lin Feng is, I am very certain that Lin Feng is an extraordinary big shot!"

"Why do you say that?" Lu Baihui asked immediately.

Lu Bailing explained, "Last night I went to Jinshi Bar to drink and was molested by a Martial Artist. That Martial Artist relied on his Martial Dao strength and didn't take our family seriously at all, even wanting to rape and kill me..."

"At the critical moment, Lin Feng appeared, and with one punch, he beat that Martial Artist until he couldn't tell north from south."

Lu Guangwei snorted coldly and said, "So that Lin Feng is a Martial Artist, but even if he is a Martial Artist, so what? Our Lu Family has Martial Artist bodyguards too!"

"Oh, I told you not to be impatient, Dad, why are you always so impatient?"

Lu Bailing complained, then continued to explain, "The point isn't that Lin Feng defeated that Martial Artist, but that after he defeated him, he made one phone call and summoned Xiao Jian, the General Captain of our Minle City Dragon Soul Branch."

"And Xiao Jian didn't come alone; when he arrived at the bar, he brought dozens of Divine Dragon Guards. After arriving at the scene, those Divine Dragon Guards surrounded the bar and checked everyone inside one by one. Xiao Jian secretly told me he was acting on Lin Feng's orders to apprehend a very terrifying Martial Artist criminal."

"Most importantly, Xiao Jian's attitude toward Lin Feng was extremely respectful, one could even say subservient."

"As the General Captain of the Dragon Soul Branch, Xiao Jian is definitely a top-tier big shot in our Minle City; even you, Dad, have to speak to him politely when you see him. But Xiao Jian was so respectful to Lin Feng, do I need to say more about what this means?"

Hearing these words from Lu Bailing, a look of disbelief appeared on Lu Guangwei's face.

"Are you sure you aren't lying to me? Is everything you said true?" Lu Guangwei asked.

"Of course it's true, how would I dare to joke about something like this?"

Lu Bailing rubbed her burning bottom and continued, "And after Lin Feng left, I secretly asked Xiao Jian what Lin Feng's status was. But do you know what he said?"

"What did he say?"

"Don't keep us in suspense!"

Lu Baihui and Lu Guangwei said one after the other.

Lu Bailing continued, "At the time, Xiao Jian told me very solemnly that Lin Feng's identity is a state secret, and the highest level at that! He isn't someone from the military, and even the City Head level has no right to know!"

"Xiao Jian also warned me not to ask around, lest I bring trouble upon myself..."

Lu Guangwei and Lu Baihui looked at each other in dismay.

They felt that what Lu Bailing said was like listening to a story; it was simply too magical.

But since Xiao Jian was involved in this matter, the authenticity was naturally very high.

"Everything I said is true, not a single lie. If you don't believe me, then contact Xiao Jian now, he will definitely testify for me," Lu Bailing said aggrievedly.

Lu Guangwei hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and said, "Fine, then I will confirm it. It's not that Dad doesn't believe you, it's just that this matter is of great importance and must be handled with caution."

"You don't need to explain, I understand," Lu Bailing said.

Lu Guangwei quickly dialed Xiao Jian's number and specifically turned on the speakerphone.

"Head of the Lu Family, are you calling me suddenly because something is up?" Xiao Jian asked with a laugh.

Lu Guangwei asked tentatively, "General Captain Xiao, my daughter Lu Bailing went to Jinshi Bar to drink last night and was almost... by a Martial Artist. Is this true?"

"It is true, Mr. Lin saved her," Xiao Jian said.

"Who exactly is that Mr. Lin..."

Just as Lu Guangwei said this, Xiao Jian suddenly said very seriously, "Don't ask around! I wouldn't dare tell you who Mr. Lin is. I can only remind you that Mr. Lin's background is massive; even the City Head of our Minle City has to bow respectfully when he sees him!"

"And right now, Mr. Lin is staying at the City Head's home. I don't think I need to say what that means, right?"

The hand Lu Guangwei used to hold the phone was trembling slightly.

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. You can invite me for a drink when you have time," Xiao Jian laughed and hung up the phone.

Lu Guangwei put away his phone, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

Lu Bailing's words had already been verified.

But the situation had become even harder to deal with.

"Is it really impossible to get the Heirloom back? No, that is an Heirloom our family has passed down for hundreds of years, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of an outsider like this!" Lu Guangwei said heavily, clenching his fists.
