Chapter 106: Sudden Incident

September 8th, Saturday, 9 a. m.

Lin Feng was driving a Porsche, with Liang Shishi sitting in the passenger seat.

Two black SUVs, one ahead of the other, flanked the car in the middle.

Music was playing from the car's speaker.

Liang Shishi sat restlessly, shifting constantly as if uncomfortable.

"Withered chrysanthemums, wounds everywhere, your smile has already yellowed…"

"Snap!"

Liang Shishi slapped the speaker off.

Lin Feng, looking surprised, said, "This is a song by Zhou Dong, the only one whose lyrics I can understand—it's really good!"

Liang Shishi replied coquettishly, "I think you did it on purpose!"

Lin Feng said helplessly, "You can't blame me; you were the one moving around! Weren't you enjoying it just now?"

Liang Shishi stayed silent.

Lin Feng added, "I'll be more careful next time!"

Liang Shishi shifted again and said, "Maybe… once I get used to it, it'll be fine?"

Lin Feng almost pressed the accelerator as if it were the brake.

After helping his aunt move into the Bieshu that morning, Lin Feng found an excuse and slipped away quickly.

Because his aunt said she would cook seafood for him.

In the afternoon, Lin Feng went to Zhao Xiaoyang's Fierce Tiger Gym and trained there all afternoon.

He planned to go out for kebabs and drink night Alcohol in the evening.

Mid‑Autumn is coming soon; Yanjing's weather gets colder day by day, and later there won't be the right atmosphere for evening kebabs.

Wen Zhu handed Lin Feng a towel to wipe his sweat.

Seeing Wen Zhu's honest expression, Lin Feng said lightly, "Have you figured things out during this time?"

Wen Zhu hurriedly replied, "Got it, brother‑in‑law, I… I even wrote a self‑criticism."

While speaking, he pulled two sheets of paper from his trouser pocket and handed them to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took them and unfolded them to read.

The contents were all Wen Zhu er's reflections, even citing examples of many gamblers whose families were ruined.

"Brother‑in‑law, I've figured it out. If you hadn't helped me, our house would have been sold, we'd be unable to pay, debts would chase us daily, my credit would be blacklisted, and it would drag my sister down…"

As he spoke, Wen Zhu's eyes reddened.

Lin Feng didn't believe the guy had truly reformed, furrowed his brows and said, "If you gamble again, I'll cripple you!"

Wen Zhu replied resolutely, "Don't worry, brother‑in‑law. If I slip again, I'll cut off my own claws!"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "I've found you a job. Next Monday go to Gu Yun Culture, find Manager Zhou, and let him assign you a position.

She has a lot of miscellaneous tasks; work hard, a thousand a month is no problem.

Start with these duties; if you do well and showcase your ability, promotion isn't out of reach.

By the way, don't ask your sister for money; if I find out, you'll come back and keep working!"

Wen Zhu said happily, "Thank you, brother‑in‑law! I'll definitely work hard!"

Lin Feng then asked Zhao Xiaoyang to give Wen Zhu ten thousand yuan in cash so he could buy a few nicer outfits tomorrow.

"Xiaoyang, do you think this kid has truly reformed?"

After Wen Zhu er gained his freedom and went out with Duan Fei and Liu Erwa, Lin Feng frowned and asked.

He never trusts gamblers.

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "I think he's reformed; he didn't gamble for long. I'm only afraid of those who've been at it for years—that's hopeless."

"Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded.

The two tidied up, and Zhao Xiaoyang called two girls over on the phone.

Both were first‑year freshmen who had just enrolled this year.

They wore low‑cut one‑piece short dresses, black stockings on their legs, looking both youthful and sexy.

Their faces were also pretty—one had an oval face, the other an egg‑shaped face, with delicate makeup.

In Lin Feng's eyes, Wang Yu's looks could score over eighty points.

Jiang Xiaofei's score was a bit higher, ninety points; her eyes were big, and she had what people later called an 'internet celebrity face'.

Of course, that was Lin Feng's impression.

There was no Douyin yet, and Zhao Xiaoyang didn't even know what an internet celebrity face was.

In a few years, a flood of women who had undergone plastic surgery and heavy makeup, produced like on an assembly line, would appear, giving people a sense of a face void.

Zhao Xiaoyang introduced the egg‑shaped one: "This is my girlfriend Wang Yu, and this is her best friend Jiang Xiaofei."

Afterward he said to the two girls, "This is my brother; just call me Brother Feng."

"Hello, Brother Feng!"

Seeing the handsome Lin Feng, Wang Yu and Jiang Xiaofei shyly greeted him.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Leaving the gym, Zhao Xiaoyang pulled Lin Feng a short distance away and whispered, "Brother, what do you think of Jiang Xiaofei?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Feng nodded.

He felt a repulsion toward girls who started partying as soon as they entered university.

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "This is Jiang Xiaofei's first time out; her family is in trouble, she can't afford it, what a pity!"

"Oh?"

Lin Feng responded casually.

Zhao Xiaoyang said: "In your province, it's not easy to get into college. My younger siblings' father injured his waist at a construction site last year; the boss compensated him 200,000. But the medical expenses cost over ten thousand, and afterward he can't do heavy work."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaoyang, "What do you mean by saying this? I'm not running a charity! Besides, whether it's a story or not is still uncertain!"

Which girl just starting out in the world hasn't had a tragic experience?

Actually, men are the most compassionate.

Zhao Xiaoyang assured: "After investigation, it's indeed like that."

"Go on." Lin Feng said calmly.

Zhao Xiaoyang gave a hehe laugh, leaned in to Lin Feng's ear and whispered softly: "She's ten thousand!"

Lin Feng picked up his phone, "How about I give you ten thousand?"

"Don't!"

Zhao Xiaoyang hurriedly said: "I don't like this coy, affected type. Besides, I haven't managed to win over Wang Yu yet!"

Lin Feng remained silent.

Zhao Xiaoyang felt that Lin Feng might be moved.

Just then, Lin Feng's phone rang.

It was Bai Ying calling.

"Lin Feng!"

After the call connected, Bai Ying shouted.

"Captain Bai, I'll call you tonight..."

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Bai Ying said: "Time is urgent; there's something I need you to help with—Du Ying and the others can't handle it! Right now, there's still... 35 minutes."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Ying's SUV hissed and appeared at the roadside.

Bai Ying, sitting in the car, dressed in camouflage and fully armed, waved at Lin Feng and said: "Get in quick!"

Lin Feng ran onto the car.

He was infected by a sudden sense of tension.

There must be an emergency!

Not having time to say goodbye to Zhao Xiaoyang, after Lin Feng got in the car, Bai Ying stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

Up ahead, Wang Yu and Jiang Xiaofei came running, holding hands.

"Brother Zhao, how did Brother Lin leave?"

Wang Yu frowned and asked.

Zhao Xiaoyang glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "Brother Lin neither said yes nor said no."

Jiang Xiaofei blushed, lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and her eye sockets were red.

Wang Yu pulled Jiang Xiaofei slightly, smiling, and said: "Then let's wait for Brother Lin's news."

Zhao Xiaoyang said: "I'm pretty straightforward; I don't beat around the bush, so some things are awkward to say. Jiang Xiaofei, don't be embarrassed either—I'll call Brother Lin later."

"Okay! Thanks, Brother Zhao."

Jiang Xiaofei nodded.
