Chapter 336: Taking Me With You?
Chapter 336: Taking Me With You?
"I’m near Tiannan Shopping Mall, come find me at Tiannan Tea House," Lin Feng heard the urgency in Ding Wan’er’s voice and didn’t prolong the conversation. Since she was so eager to come over, it must mean the matter couldn’t be clarified over the phone and it was better to discuss it face-to-face. However, hearing that Ding Wan’er was with Leng Mei made Lin Feng feel somewhat surprised; by all logic, both should be busy and not together at this time. What on earth had happened?
"Okay, Sister Leng and I are on our way, see you in a bit!" Ding Wan’er quickly hung up after getting Lin Feng’s location, grabbed Leng Mei, and hailed a taxi rushing towards Tiannan Tea House. In their haste to meet Lin Feng, they didn’t even go back to drive their own car. At this moment, taking a taxi would save more time.
Leng Mei didn’t say anything and got into the cab with Ding Wan’er since she, just like Ding Wan’er, was very anxious to see Lin Feng. Lin Feng had been away for several days and she had no idea what he had been doing abroad. Now, considering the day’s events had left her unsettled, she was extremely worried about whether those people could pose a real threat to Lin Feng. Her main concern now was to reach Lin Feng as quickly as possible; everything else was secondary.
Hearing the busy tone from the phone in his hand, Lin Feng felt very surprised. Ding Wan’er never had the habit of hanging up before the other person, so why did she hang up this time? He was truly very keen to know what had happened that made Ding Wan’er this anxious...
With questions in his heart, Lin Feng glanced at the nearby landmark buildings, stuffed the gifts he bought for his senior sister into the car, and entered the Tiannan Tea House that he had arranged to meet Ding Wan’er at. He ordered a pot of tea and waited for them to find him.
...
Soon, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei arrived outside Tiannan Tea House. They got out of the car and quickly entered, searching for Lin Feng.
"Over there!" Leng Mei instantly spotted Lin Feng sitting near a window, waving at Ding Wan’er and herself, and hurried over with Ding Wan’er towards Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng safe and sound, Leng Mei finally felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been worried about him these few days; since he had left the country so abruptly and informed her about his substitute teaching only when he was already at the airport. She indeed feared something urgent had forced him to travel and that he might encounter trouble abroad, especially in unfamiliar places. From her own experience studying abroad, she knew how easy it was to face challenges in a new environment, which was why she generally didn’t leave the campus back then.
Now seeing Lin Feng sitting here, healthy and unharmed, she was completely reassured. As long as he was safe, that was the best possible outcome. Relaxing, Leng Mei suddenly remembered another issue—what had Lin Feng been doing abroad this whole time? If it weren’t for something urgent, he wouldn’t have left in such a hurry. It was indeed strange...
Ding Wan’er, upon seeing Lin Feng sitting there unharmed, felt the anxiety lift from her heart. During Lin Feng’s absence from Tianhai, she hardly had a pleasant day, being consumed with thoughts and worries about him every day, sometimes even suffering from insomnia. She couldn’t explain why, but she had a constant feeling that Lin Feng was in danger, living each day in fear. Now, seeing Lin Feng safe and sound before her eyes, her heart was overjoyed. She quickly headed over to Lin Feng with Leng Mei.
"What’s the urgency in finding me?" Lin Feng waved them over to sit opposite him, having racked his brain for reasons while waiting and failing to come up with a plausible explanation. So as soon as they arrived, he promptly addressed them.
"Lin Feng, Sister Leng and I were having our meal when a strange group burst in demanding to take you away. They wouldn’t say who they were, just that they were taking you and that our attempts to stop them would be futile. Sister Leng and I feared for your safety, so we immediately left the restaurant and called you. Oh, and it was them who told us about your return from overseas. Someone capable of finding out such information is no ordinary person!"
When Lin Feng asked the question, Ding Wan’er hurriedly relayed the events without pause. Although she had much she wanted to say to Lin Feng over the past few days, this matter was most pressing. She didn’t want Lin Feng, who had just returned from abroad after dealing with affairs, to disappear again. If those people were to take him away, who knew if he could return? No one knew who they were or what their intentions were, so it was essential to warn Lin Feng in advance so that he could be prepared.
Lin Feng, those people look very strange, it’s hard to describe exactly what kind of feeling they give off, but one thing is for sure, they definitely don’t have good intentions; otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained silent and not answered any questions. You’d better not go to work for a while. I’ll take care of the students at Yingbo University, they won’t miss any classes. You should take some time to rest, and it’s best not to even go home until this blows over. Then everything can go back to normal."
Leng Mei couldn’t help but chime in after Ding Wan’er spoke, because she knew Lin Feng didn’t take most things seriously and was worried he would treat these people the same way and not care at all. It was alarming that the few people they bumped into during dinner could directly find Ding Wan’er and herself, and also knew right away that Lin Feng had returned to Tianhai. These people were not simple, and if Lin Feng didn’t take it seriously and was taken away by them, then their efforts to come over and tell him about this would be wasted. No matter what, they needed to get Lin Feng’s attention; such people should not be underestimated.
"So, that’s what it is, someone’s looking for me, to take me away?" After listening to Ding Wan’er, Lin Feng felt even more perplexed. According to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, these people must be from some kind of power. But what did they want with him? He hadn’t provoked any powers, so why would they target him? Who exactly were these people from?
Lin Feng never dreamed that all this was because of the basketball game on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year...
"It’s true; no matter how I asked them who they were, they just wouldn’t say. Sister Leng saw it too." Ding Wan’er immediately replied to Lin Feng, hoping he would take her words seriously and that nothing bad would happen.
"Yes, they said nothing except that they wanted to take you away." Leng Mei quickly answered Lin Feng’s question. There was definitely something odd about the situation. As long as Lin Feng paid attention to it, with his skills, he shouldn’t face any significant danger.
"Okay, I understand. Just as you said, I’ll lay low for a while." After hearing Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei say it again, Lin Feng finally confirmed one thing: these people were certainly sent by some power. The purpose was unknown, but on the surface, he agreed to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s words so they wouldn’t worry about him.
Lin Feng really wanted to investigate who had set their sights on him, to see which power it was. He carefully recalled his days back in Tianhai and realized he hadn’t come in contact with any power. Who could these people be then?
If anyone dared to pose even the slightest threat to him or his loved ones, like his parents, Lin Feng would not hesitate to eliminate them to ensure absolute safety for himself and those around him. Since they had shown themselves, it was time for him to make a move and figure it out, or perhaps to directly...
Moreover, he had indeed been quite busy recently, taking care of his senior sister and other matters. He really didn’t have the energy to go to university, so it was a good opportunity to get all his affairs in order.
"Lin Feng, what exactly did you go abroad for this time? Why did you leave in such a hurry, and can you tell us about it now?" Ding Wan’er felt a weight lift off her shoulders when she heard Lin Feng’s personal agreement, she felt truly relieved. But facing the relaxed Lin Feng, she couldn’t help but ask another question, one that had tortured her while Lin Feng was away from Yingbo University. If she didn’t find out what Lin Feng had been doing, she feared she might keep guessing indefinitely.
"I’m also curious; you were already at the airport when you called me. I’ve never seen you in such a rush." Leng Mei felt relieved when she heard Lin Feng promise not to go to the university and to avoid those people for a while. She didn’t need to worry about Lin Feng’s safety anymore. But upon hearing Ding Wan’er’s question, which had also lingered in her mind for a long time, she took the chance to ask him as well, hoping he would give an answer.
"Actually, this time I went to Kenya in Africa. Even I didn’t expect to go there." Hearing that both Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei were very concerned about his trip abroad, Lin Feng understood their worries and decided to tell them directly where he had been, instead of letting them speculate wildly.
