Chapter 151 Old Soldier Returns to Beijing
"Mom and Dad, it’s time to eat!"
"Mm, let your father eat first."
"Mom, you should eat something too."
"Uncle and Auntie, have you really eaten already?"
"Hehe, you go ahead and eat, we’re just here to see your dad."
...
The two families chatted together, talking about happy moments, and they agreed that once discharged from the hospital, they would get together and perhaps go out for a joyous outing!
Several days passed in a flash. Lin Feng’s medication had helped Leng Hui recover rapidly. Chen Guisheng was delighted to see this. Without his junior brother Lin Feng, they might not have known whether Leng Hui would still be around...
One fine day, Chen Guisheng and Leng Hui, seeing that the weather was pleasant, chatted while basking in the sun in the yard.
"Old Chen, I feel like I’ve been out for rather a long time, don’t you think?" Leng Hui also felt it was time to return. His time outside had not been short, and the situation in the capital remained unknown. Perhaps it really was time to go back and see for himself; otherwise, if anything happened without him holding fort, he really wouldn’t feel at ease.
"Yes, it has indeed been quite a long time, and this time it was really dangerous. Without Lin Feng, it could have been truly..." Chen Guisheng knew what Leng Hui was thinking. He understood the desire to return to the capital to check on things, fearful that being away too long could lead to unexpected changes. Moreover, as a general, he needed to be in the capital to keep his post.
But this journey to Tianhai had indeed been perilous. Without the demon-like junior brother Lin Feng, Leng Hui would have truly left them in Tianhai, something they had not anticipated. Fortunately, the Gods smiled on him and Leng Hui had emerged from danger unscathed. Had something actually happened to Leng Hui, not only would the entire military have been shaken, but neighboring countries might have stirred as well. Without the presence of Leng Hui, known as the ’Military God’ in Country Z’s political landscape, anything could have happened!
Fortunately, Leng Hui’s life was saved, thanks to Lin Feng. I’m already old and have no personal needs. But as his senior brother, I should seek some benefits for my junior brother Lin Feng. He’s so young and has a long road ahead. Who knows what he may encounter? Having the favor of a general like Leng Hui would be a great honor. As his senior brother, that’s the most I can do for him; he’ll have to walk the rest of the road on his own.
"Yeah, you’re right, it would have been really dangerous without Lin Feng." Hearing Chen Guisheng’s words, Leng Hui felt a deep sense of gratitude. He had not expected that visiting an old friend would lead to such an incident. His old ailment recurred and even Old Chen was at a loss, almost costing him his life. It had been far too dangerous. If Lin Feng hadn’t appeared later on, he would probably not be in this world today. Being able to breathe this fresh air, all credit goes to Lin Feng—he gave me this second chance at life!
Leng Hui couldn’t help but recall the first time he saw Lin Feng, already amazed by his extraordinary chess skills, which hinted that such a young man was definitely not ordinary. But even then, he wouldn’t have guessed that it was Lin Feng who would end up saving him, bringing things full circle. Now, reflecting on it, Lin Feng’s medical expertise was beyond question. It had commanded the admiration of Chen Guisheng, a renowned veteran, which spoke volumes. The fact that such a talented person as Lin Feng, still so young, possessed these skills was indeed thought-provoking...
Chen Guisheng’s medical expertise was well-known to me—we’ve been old friends for decades, representing the pinnacle of traditional Chinese medicine in China. At least, no one else had yet appeared who could surpass him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chosen to lead the Leader’s Medical Care Group and attend to us old folks. Yet, even such an illustrious Chen Guisheng yielded to Lin Feng this time, conceding not only face but also sincerely admitting Lin Feng’s superiority. What did this mean? It meant that Lin Feng’s medical skills were truly more advanced than Chen Guisheng’s, and significantly so, otherwise Chen Guisheng couldn’t have praised Lin Feng so wholeheartedly.
However, speaking of Lin Feng now, he really is exceptional, almost devilishly so. So young and already so accomplished, his future potential is boundless. Someone like him will definitely not be confined by a place like Tianhai; his development will surely be astonishing.
"Old Chen, what do you think of this kid Lin Feng?" With that thought in mind, Leng Hui asked Chen Guisheng with a smile, curious about his opinion on Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng is definitely not an ordinary man—he is a dragon among men. Right now, being a teacher is just temporary. His potential for growth is limitless," Chen Guisheng seriously shared his thoughts. It wasn’t out of bias for his junior brother but because Lin Feng truly had the capability and the capital.
But why the sudden question from Leng Hui? With this thought, Chen Guisheng looked at Leng Hui puzzled, unable to figure out what he meant.
"Hehe, Old Chen, what do you think if Lin Feng ended up together with Meimei?" Seeing Chen Guisheng’s expression, Leng Hui revealed his thoughts with a smile. Although Meimei was a bit older, no one would notice if they didn’t mention it. The most important thing was that Lin Feng was too outstanding. It would be a grave sin to let Meimei miss out on such an outstanding person!
Although Lin Feng is nominally Ding Yi’s grandson-in-law, as long as they are not married, there’s still hope for our Meimei. There is no reason to let an old scholar monopolize such a good grandson-in-law, right?
"Haha! I was wondering why you were asking. It turns out that’s the reason. If Meimei could end up with Lin Feng, that would truly be a great thing! I don’t have a suitable granddaughter or great-granddaughter, or else I’d want Lin Feng to be my grandson-in-law too!" Hearing Leng Hui say this, Chen Guisheng suddenly saw the light. It turned out that Old Leng wanted Meimei to be with Lin Feng. That’s good news!
As for my little junior brother, it’s impossible to imagine what his future developments will be like! Moreover, Lin Feng’s character and temperament are exceptionally good, composed and dignified. At such a young age, he already possesses the qualities of a leader, which is incredibly rare!
If Meimei could truly be with him, she would definitely be very happy!
"Old Chen, I’ve never heard you praise a young person so much before." Leng Hui was also very happy to hear Chen Guisheng’s words. Old Chen was a man of principle. Whatever he said was generally accurate.
"That’s because Lin Feng truly is exceptional. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be praising him. Not to mention, in my strongest field of traditional Chinese medicine, I was completely defeated by him. I am utterly convinced of his skill!" Chen Guisheng laughed and chatted with Leng Hui. Seeing how happy Leng Hui was, he couldn’t help but laugh, too. His little junior brother probably didn’t know yet that Leng Hui was planning to match him with Meimei. Chen wondered what Lin Feng’s expression would be if he knew Leng Hui’s thoughts. Haha!
"You don’t know how great Lin Feng’s chess skills are. I’m far from being his opponent!"
"What! You’re not his opponent, how is that possible!"
...
The two old men had a very enjoyable conversation, and they talked all about Lin Feng, both singing his praises and deeply admiring how perfect he was.
Unknowingly, they had spent a lot of time outside. Chen Guisheng took the initiative to get up and push Leng Hui towards the hospital room.
"I feel like you’re in very good condition now, recovering quickly. Let’s go back to the capital to recuperate. Lin Feng might need to change some of the prescriptions, and the medicinal materials over there are more complete and effective. It will be good for your recovery," Chen Guisheng proactively suggested. He had already made it clear from the start of their conversation that Leng Hui was thinking of going back to the capital. He had been away for a long time and was certainly worried, so he brought up the matter once more, hoping that Leng Hui would agree to return together.
It’s just that he really couldn’t bear to leave Tianhai, to leave this little junior brother he had just acknowledged. He hadn’t met Lin Feng many times, and each meeting had been hurried. But fortunately, he now had the little junior brother’s phone number, which would make contacting him much easier. Chatting with his junior brother now and then wouldn’t be a bad thing. If he could learn anything about his master from Lin Feng, that would be even more delightful! He hadn’t seen the old man for decades and missed him terribly!
"Yes, we should get going. We’ve indeed been out too long," Leng Hui also found it difficult to part from this place, where his son and granddaughter were. It was not easy to enjoy the pleasure of family, and now they had to part again, but he still decided to return to the capital. He had been out for too long and couldn’t be at ease. In his position, it wasn’t just about one person or one family anymore; he had to take on more responsibility.
"Shall I prepare the special plane for our return?" Hearing Leng Hui’s determination to go back to the capital, Chen Guisheng took over the conversation and asked, so he could start arranging the necessary affairs. These matters could not be taken lightly.
"Yes!" Leng Hui agreed to Chen Guisheng’s suggestion. With Old Chen handling things, he felt relieved!
After arranging for Leng Hui to rest, Chen Guisheng immediately contacted Leng Hui’s logistics manager to arrange everything for Leng Hui’s return to the capital. This was something they couldn’t afford to be careless or negligent about.
...
On the day of Leng Hui’s departure, many people came to see him off. His son’s family couldn’t miss it, and Ding Yi and Qian Rong, knowing that Leng Hui was returning to the capital, insisted on bidding farewell to their old buddy. Even Wan’er’s grandfather said that Grandpa Leng was leaving and specifically came to send him off, causing Qian Rong to feel very embarrassed. Now, only their Duoduo was missing; otherwise, everyone would have been there. But there was no helping it, as Duoduo was handling matters at home and really couldn’t get away.
The only person who wasn’t related to Leng Hui was Lin Feng.
