Chapter 407: Are You Shy Now?
Slightly perplexed, Lin Feng quickly composed himself, picked up the Ancient Sword "Windbreaker," walked over to his small pile of bandages he had taken off, and leisurely started putting them on. Then, he ran back along the route he had taken the night before. His cellphone and money were all in the coat inside the car; now was the perfect time to return and retrieve his belongings.
On his way back, as he passed through a small village, Lin Feng’s figure sped through it like flying, casually taking two larger pieces of clothing to put on over the bandages. After all, it would be quite strange to run around the streets in ’bandages,’ and he might be mistaken for an escaped mummy if seen by people.
Without incident and without encountering a single person, Lin Feng arrived at the scene of last night’s incident. He found the A7 wrecked in a ditch on the side of the road, looking like it needed major repairs. As he tried to open the door, he found they were all broken. Having no choice, Lin Feng smashed the window, took out his coat from inside, and used his cellphone to call the 4S shop. He asked them to send a tow truck to repair the car and also requested a new car to be sent to him, which he would purchase on the spot since he urgently needed it and would deal with the paperwork later.
After sorting all this out, Lin Feng leaned against the wrecked car, waiting for the people from the 4S shop to arrive.
Xiao Wu, the on-duty staff member at the 4S shop, received the call and immediately arranged the related matters, while also calling Manager Wang to seek approval for Lin Feng’s request, as no one on duty had the authority to send cars out on their own.
"Send a car over, I know this guy. Don’t know what’s with his cars, always getting into accidents, but his only plus is that he doesn’t care about money. He’s a safe bet, let him drive first, we can deal with the paperwork when he has time."
Once Manager Wang heard it was Lin Feng asking for a car, he instantly remembered that astounding young man from last year, one who could casually throw out 10,000 Euros. How could such a person care about money? Moreover, last year his cars had been repaired countless times, simply alternating repairs between two A7s. This time, it must have been some trouble again, and since he was such a prestigious customer, it was essential not to lose him.
"Alright, send over an A7. Find a skilled driver to take it, and have him sign a receipt of acceptance," Manager Wang concluded after some thought, deciding to send an A7. Since Lin Feng was already used to driving an A7, there was no need to trouble him with a different model and upset him.
"Understood, Manager," Xiao Wu comprehended Manager Wang’s instructions and immediately prepared to arrange for the car to be sent over, together with the tow truck, to the scene of the incident.
"Go on then," Manager Wang said after finishing the arrangements and promptly hung up, ready to continue sleeping.
...
After waiting for nearly an hour, the tow truck and the new A7 from the 4S shop finally reached Lin Feng. Everyone was taken aback by Lin Feng’s unusual attire, then they handed him the car keys, had Lin Feng sign a receipt, and advised him to complete the paperwork as soon as possible. They then got busy pulling the A7 out of the ditch, waiting for the insurance company’s personnel to arrive and document the scene before towing it back to the 4S shop.
When the staff from the 4S shop arrived at the scene and saw the state of the car, their eyes widened in shock, frozen in place. This wasn’t a car accident—it was an incomparably bizarre traffic incident. In their wildest dreams, they never expected to come across such an unfathomable situation. For a while, they all turned into statues.
Lin Feng didn’t pay attention to them. He took the keys, got into the car, and drove toward Tianhai City. He found a 24-hour mall, changed into a new set of clothes, and hurried back home, because he was genuinely worried about his senior sister and wanted to know how she was.
"What on earth happened here?"
"How did the car end up like this!"
"What’s going on here? Could it have been hit by a meteorite?"
...
After a good while, as the crowd stared in the direction Lin Feng had disappeared, they were at a loss for words. To have a car crash turn out like this was both unprecedented and unrivaled. This was no ordinary accident. Not even movies featured such bizarre occurrences. It looked as if it had been hit by a meteorite. What... what exactly happened here? It was truly inconceivable. To emerge from such a scenario unscathed, is he even human...
But when they discovered in the ditch four iron balls the size of soccer balls, solid ones at that, which had caused the accident, everyone was utterly astounded on the spot. This... this was beyond belief. Where did these iron balls come from, how strange, how could they have smashed the car like that...
When the insurance company’s personnel arrived at the scene and saw Lin Feng’s car in such a state, they too were stunned, holding the camera for evidence collection but forgetting to take photos altogether, wondering how... how the car could have ended up like this? What exactly happened? How could such a thing occur?
The insurance company’s staff were even more baffled—what kind of traffic accident had they not seen? But today, this car had been smashed into this state by several iron balls, alive and kicking. Their eyes almost popped out. It was virtually impossible to lift these iron balls, let alone smash a car with them; that’s... That’s how had this happened? And the driver inside was still without a scratch in such a situation; that’s... That’s too exaggerated. If it had been them in this situation, they certainly wouldn’t have known how they died!
Furthermore, what caused even more of a headache for the insurance company’s office staff was the report for today. They really didn’t know how to write it because no one would believe a standard conventional report on what had happened! After taking photographs, the office staff could only shake their heads and leave the scene, returning to figure out how to handle this accident.
When he got back to the villa, Lin Feng was surprised to find that his senior sister hadn’t gone to bed but was using the computer to surf the internet in the living room, and she looked energetic as well.
"Senior sister, why haven’t you gone to sleep?" It was not yet 6 a.m. when Lin Feng got home. Usually, at this time, Chu Meng would be asleep. She normally got up around 7 o’clock, then exercised a bit, and ate around 7:30. What had caused her to suddenly change her routine today?
Moreover, seeing all the bottles of mineral water and wrappers of snacks on the table, it was clear that his senior sister had been up all night on the computer. Seeing this, Lin Feng grew even more curious. How on earth had this happened? His senior sister, who usually lived such a refined life, why was she suddenly staying up all night?
"Little junior brother, you’re back! That’s great, I’m so happy!" When Chu Meng heard Lin Feng’s voice, she became even happier and jumped right off the sofa. Thinking of what she had gained last night, she was so ecstatic she could hardly control her actions. In her joy, she rushed over to Lin Feng and threw a punch at him, then said to Lin Feng with immense pleasure, completely ecstatic, without a trace of fatigue from staying up all night.
"Bang!"
Startled by his senior sister’s sudden outburst, Lin Feng also froze. He hadn’t expected her to be so excited, nor could he imagine what had made her so happy to such an extent. For a moment, Lin Feng was very interested in what had happened and really wanted to know what had excited Chu Meng so much.
"Senior sister, what happened?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but ask his question out loud because at a time like this, her excitement must have a reason. If he didn’t get to the bottom of it, he would always feel uneasy.
"Little junior brother, you don’t know. Last night, I messed up another money-making scheme by Max Dorrell and his group. They had a smooth-running money-raising acquisition plan, but I managed to cause it problems. Moreover, I took the opportunity to make some money myself. It’s not a lot, but it’ll do. I inflated the stock market a bit, making Max Dorrell and his group spend a lot more unnecessary money to complete the acquisition plan."
"And the most important thing is that during this operation, I got in touch with some of the chess pieces I had placed before. No one knows about the existence of these chess pieces. What’s more exhilarating is that they are still all loyal to me now, not turning their backs on me even though I lost control of Cloud Fund. This is the best possible outcome. When the time comes for a comeback, they will be my main force."
"With such developments, how could I not be happy, little junior brother? Having accomplished so much last night, how could I contain my excitement? If it wasn’t for you, little junior brother, I might have died a long time ago; how could I still have the chance for revenge? Seeing that there is hope for revenge, I’m so happy I could die!" Having excitedly told all this to Lin Feng, Chu Meng couldn’t help but punch him on the chest twice more.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Chu Meng felt that she was really too lucky to have a little junior brother like Lin Feng, who was incredibly capable. If it hadn’t been for her little junior brother going thousands of miles to save her from Africa, it would have been impossible for her to still be alive and planning her revenge. And after returning to Tianhai City, with the help of her junior brother, she had started living a normal life with a new identity. Indeed, everything she had now was thanks to her little junior brother, without whom none of it would have been possible.
Therefore, seeing Lin Feng made Chu Meng so excited and thrilled. On one hand, she had gotten in touch with her secret allies, and on the other, she had disrupted Max Dorrell’s operation and profited from it. Faced with such a doubly joyous occasion, how could she contain her excitement? She hammered Lin Feng’s chest again twice.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Senior sister, could you please not be so excited..." Overwhelmed by his senior sister’s sudden enthusiasm, Lin Feng was virtually speechless, knowing that she was indeed overexcited. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have behaved so out of character. It was fine for his senior sister to hit him a couple of times, but he was worried she might get overly excited and something might go wrong.
"I’m just too happy, oh, by the way, I just hit you a couple of times, little junior brother, don’t mind it!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Chu Meng realized she had behaved a bit too enthusiastically, so she immediately spoke up. She was indeed too happy and could no longer control herself. If it hadn’t been for the awkwardness from previously hugging her little junior brother, she would have even wanted to pull him over for a couple of kisses!
