Chapter 422: He Is the Expert

~7 min read 1,309 words

"Forget it. You haven't even looked at how dirty you are right now. I only just changed into this outfit when I left the house; don't you go getting it dirty for me," Lin Feng said with a look of disgust.

"You... you actually find me disgusting?"

Lu Bailing was extremely hurt, and her eyes even turned red.

The female bodyguard smiled and said, "Miss, you had better hurry and take a bath, then change into some clean clothes."

Lu Bailing nodded, then ran off toward the outside.

People always say that women are very, very slow when taking a bath, but that was not the case for Lu Bailing; she returned in less than ten minutes.

One could see that Lu Bailing hadn't even wiped the water droplets from her body; crystal-clear beads of water hung from her jet-black hair, resembling dew on grass leaves in the early morning.

Moreover, her body was still emitting the faint fragrance of some kind of body wash.

"Lin Feng, why did you come to save me? Could it be... could it be that you've fallen for me?"

Lu Bailing asked as she arrived in front of Lin Feng, her rounded cheeks beginning to flush red again, and she wore a look of anticipation.

"You're overthinking it. I was just purely curious. You had an episode in the City Head's villa during the day, and I intended to treat you, but your father refused me without the slightest hesitation. I thought there might be something fishy going on, so I came over to take a look," Lin Feng said.

Hearing this, Lu Bailing said with immense disappointment, "Can't you just coax me a little? I am a girl, after all; how can you be so heartless?"

"You aren't my girlfriend, anyway," Lin Feng said, annoyed.

"Then I'll be your girlfriend!"

As she said this, Lu Bailing lunged at Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng pushed Lu Bailing away once more and said, "I already have a fiancée; you have no chance."

"As long as you aren't married yet, I have a chance!" Lu Bailing said with great determination.

The female bodyguard really couldn't hold it in anymore and giggled out loud, so Lin Feng glared at her and said, "Still standing there watching the show? You can go notify Lu Baihui and Lu Guangwei now."

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

The female bodyguard nodded in agreement, then walked quickly toward the outside.

Lin Feng and Lu Bailing came down from upstairs together and sat in the luxurious living room to wait.

Before long, Lu Guangwei's shocked shout came from upstairs: "What did you say? Bailing has already been cured by someone, and it was Mr. Lin who cured her?"

"Go, go, go, let's go take a look!" Chen Hanxiang's voice followed.

However, the first to come down from upstairs was not them, but Lu Bailing's twin sister, Lu Baihui.

Seeing Lu Bailing sitting in the living room with a glowing face, truly completely recovered, Lu Baihui was both surprised and delighted; she ran over and pulled Lu Bailing into her arms.

"Bailing, are you really better? Were you really cured by Mr. Lin? This is truly wonderful, thank heavens..."

Lu Guangwei, Chen Hanxiang, and the female bodyguard also came down from upstairs together.

Seeing the healthy Lu Bailing, Lu Guangwei and Chen Hanxiang were both trembling with excitement.

But upon seeing Lin Feng sitting on the sofa, drinking tea to himself, the expression on Lu Guangwei's face instantly froze.

"Head of the Lu Family, I trust you have been well," Lin Feng said with a chuckle.

Lu Guangwei was truly extremely embarrassed; he walked over, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to actually come to my family, and to have cured my daughter—this is truly... I don't even know what to say."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Head of the Lu Family, when you refused to let me treat Lu Bailing at the City Head's villa during the day, I felt it was strange, so I paid a night visit to your Lu Family mansion. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Mr. Lin, you had good intentions; how could I mind?" Lu Guangwei squeezed out a smile and said.

"I know what you are worried about. Lu Bailing consuming a controlled substance like the Piaopiao Pill is not only a loss of face if it gets out, but there is also the suspicion of violating our Dragon Kingdom's laws. But rest assured, I won't let the Dragon Soul investigate such a trivial matter, because it really isn't worth mentioning," Lin Feng said very casually.

Hearing this, Lu Guangwei finally let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Hanxiang said angrily, "You actually refused to let this Mr. Lin treat Bailing just because you were afraid of losing face... you... how am I supposed to talk to you!"

"It's not just a matter of losing face. Didn't Mr. Lin say it? Bailing consuming the Piaopiao Pill actually carries the suspicion of violating the law. I was also just trying to protect her... don't say so much," Lu Guangwei said, annoyed.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Regardless, Lu Bailing has now recovered, so the matter of her consuming the Piaopiao Pill ends here."

"Next, let's talk about the matter of the Heirloom."

Hearing the three words "Heirloom," a bitter look appeared on Lu Guangwei's face.

"Our family's Heirloom has already been melted down by you; what else is there to talk about?" Lu Guangwei sighed.

"Don't make it sound like I forcibly took your family's treasure. It was your daughter who took the initiative to give it to me; it wasn't me asking her for it."

Lin Feng smiled, then continued, "However, I did take it after all, and now I have already melted it down. Since that's the case, consider it me owing your Lu Family a favor. If your Lu Family encounters any trouble or crisis in the future, I will step in to help."

"Of course, there are conditions. If someone from your Lu Family has committed an unforgivable crime, I will not interfere."

Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Lu Guangwei's face.

He already knew that Lin Feng was a big shot; he naturally knew better than anyone how much weight such a promise from Lin Feng carried.

"Many thanks, Mr. Lin!" Lu Guangwei said with a smile.

Lu Bailing and Lu Baihui also thanked him together, and Chen Hanxiang even asked Lin Feng if he wanted to have a late-night snack.

Lin Feng politely declined, then left the place and walked away without looking back.

Watching Lin Feng's retreating figure, Chen Hanxiang couldn't help but say, "This Mr. Lin is truly impressive; he has quite the demeanor of an expert."

"It's not 'quite the demeanor of an expert'; he is an expert," Lu Guangwei corrected.

"That's right, Mr. Lin is indeed very impressive," Lu Baihui remarked.

Although Lu Bailing didn't say much, her beautiful eyes were fixed straight on the direction Lin Feng had left in, unable to look away for a long time.

The next morning.

Just after finishing breakfast, Hua Yuerong went to the Affairs Office Building to work, full of complaints.

As the City Head, she was busy almost every day.

Lin Feng, however, was incredibly idle right now. It wasn't time yet to execute the plan he and Hua Yuerong had discussed, so he only needed to wait patiently and spend time with Xiaoxue.

"Uncle, let's play Five-in-a-Row, okay!"

Xiaoxue didn't know where she had dug up a box of Five-in-a-Row, and she ran excitedly in front of Lin Feng.

"Go? Do you know how to play Go? Besides, this is Five-in-a-Row," Lin Feng laughed.

"Are Go and Five-in-a-Row not different?" Xiaoxue asked, tilting her small face upward.
