Chapter 104: Chen Ling's Father

If the Li family really possesses a large amount of strengthening potion, then the number and strength of the Li family’s experts are truly unimaginable, and their strength is simply not something I can deal with right now.

Therefore, to deal with the Li family, I must unite with others. After all, there is strength in numbers.

"Why are you helping me?" I looked at Feng Chen beside me and asked suspiciously.

"I said, I am not your enemy. If possible, we can still cooperate, so you don't have to be so wary of me!" Feng Chen chuckled.

After this incident, my vigilance toward Feng Chen decreased a little, but it didn't mean I could fully trust him. After all, this guy’s background is unknown, and I still haven't figured out which faction he belongs to.

"Cooperate? Cooperate with you? What chips do you have? What is your goal? Why should I believe you and cooperate with you?" I threw several questions at Feng Chen in one breath.

"Cooperating with us is your best option right now. I know you, and I have studied you. If you want to take down Li Hong now, it is impossible to compete with a family as large as the Li family by relying on your own strength. Moreover, Li Hong has many experts strengthened by this potion under his command. You and those few people of yours simply cannot win. Although you have that little girl from the Zhang family, the Zhang family cannot help you entirely. So, you can only rely on us now!" Feng Chen analyzed my current situation very rationally.

"I don't even know who you people are. Why should I believe you? If you want to cooperate, at least reveal some information to me!" I said indifferently.

"I can only tell you that this is a state secret. We are government officials. Knowing this is enough!"

Feng Chen’s words shocked me. I looked at Feng Chen and asked in disbelief, "You are government officials?"

"Does that mean you can rest assured and cooperate with us?" Feng Chen smiled.

"I cannot believe you based on your words alone. I still need to consider the matter of cooperation. But in any case, I feel you are a decent person, so I won't be your enemy for now. Thank you for today!" After saying this, I left the place, and Feng Chen naturally disappeared on his own.

When I returned to where I was staying, Third Brother looked at me with a cold face and glared, "Fourth, where did you go earlier?"

"Nowhere, just wandering around!" I didn't dare tell Third Brother what I had done earlier.

"Fourth, you’re getting better at bragging. Forget it, if you don't want to say it, that’s fine. In any case, if you have any trouble, you must tell your brothers. Even if we can't help, at least we can think of a way, but you can't carry it all by yourself!" Third Brother put his arm around my shoulder and said.

Old Five on the side also nodded and said, "That’s right, Fourth Brother, if there are any difficulties, just say it. Everyone can think of a way together, and we can definitely help!"

"Thank you, brothers. Don't worry, I know what I’m doing!" I smiled at them.

Seeing me say this, Third Brother and Old Five didn't say anything more, but they were still worried about me, their expressions revealing their concern.

Early the next morning, I found Chen Ling. I decided to contact Chen Ling’s father to see the situation, to see what position Chen Ling’s father held. If his position was relatively high, it would likely be helpful regarding the strengthening potion.

Chen Ling handed me breakfast as usual, but I didn't take it as I usually did. Instead, I put the breakfast aside and said to Chen Ling, "Chen Ling, that, I!"

Before I could finish, Chen Ling interrupted me and said, "Brother Yang Yun, don't speak yet. I have something to tell you. This matter might be quite important!"

Seeing Chen Ling’s serious expression, I was suddenly a bit confused, because Chen Ling had never had this expression before. Her sudden expression made me feel a bit panicked.

"What’s the situation?"

"Brother Yang Yun, that, my dad wants to see you!"

"What? Your dad wants to see me?" Chen Ling’s words suddenly left me dumbfounded. I had been thinking about how to see Chen Ling’s father, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to see me.

But taking the initiative to see me suddenly must mean there is something going on. It’s likely because of Chen Ling, or it could be about Li Hong. But as for what it is specifically, I’ll have to wait until I see Chen Ling’s father to know.

"Don't be nervous. My dad just wants to see you. There shouldn't be anything wrong. Just treat it like meeting a teacher normally! He probably just wants to get to know you!" Chen Ling hurriedly explained.

"Today?"

"Yes, tonight, at my house!" Chen Ling felt a bit embarrassed, her expression slightly awkward.

"Ah, so soon? Alright, I’ll go with you tonight!"

When school ended in the evening, I was walking normally with Chen Ling. However, just as we walked out of the school gate and were about to go to the bus stop nearby, Chen Ling suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Wait!"

I looked at Chen Ling suspiciously, not knowing what was going on. At this moment, a car suddenly pulled up. Chen Ling pulled me over, opened the door, and took me inside.

This car wasn't particularly expensive, but it was clear that it had been modified many times. It felt like it had a high safety factor, as if it were a specially protected vehicle.

After getting in the car, I saw the driver in front was the government official, the policeman, that Chen Ling had called when she was bullied at the KTV. It was Chen Ling’s uncle, I remember his surname was Guo.

"Uncle Guo, sorry to trouble you today!" Chen Ling said to the driver in front.

"Xiao Ling, you’re being too polite with your uncle. You must be Yang Yun, right? Not bad, young man. Uncle thinks highly of you, treat Xiao Ling well!" Uncle Guo in front joked.

"Uncle Guo, what are you saying? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore!" Chen Ling said, blushing.

"Haha, our Xiao Ling is shy. It’s clear Xiao Ling really likes you!"

"Uncle Guo, if you keep talking, I’m getting out of the car!"

"Hahaha, alright, alright, I won't say anything!"

We arrived at Chen Ling’s home. Chen Ling’s home seemed like an ordinary family, not a huge luxury mansion like others, just a simple apartment.

"Alright, Uncle Guo has things to do, so I’ll head back first!" After saying that, he left.

Chen Ling and I walked into the room nervously. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged beautiful woman, likely Chen Ling’s mother. She looked quite similar to Chen Ling. The middle-aged woman hurriedly walked up to me: "You must be Yang Yun, come in!"

After I entered the room, I saw many photos of Chen Ling’s family hanging on the wall. I saw a photo of a middle-aged man in a military uniform. His temperament was very strong; one look and you could tell he was a person in a position of power.
