Chapter 421: Danger in the Bar
Chapter 421: Danger in the Bar
Li Hong remained silent in the car, but her eyes were carefully scanning Lin Feng’s body. This man was just a university teacher; how could he possibly frequent such high-class restaurants? And his car, an A7, wasn’t cheap either. Plus, he was a French teacher who spoke German even more fluently than herself, who had lived in Germany for over a decade. This man indeed had some background; no wonder the boss had sent her over.
The two arrived at Yuegang Seafood Restaurant, casually picked a private room, and started to feast on a variety of seafood. In Lin Feng’s words, it was a waste not to eat the delicious food that was offered for free, so he never held back in such situations.
However, he didn’t forget to chat with Li Hong. After all, she was the one treating him today, and it wouldn’t be right to ignore her. Moreover, Lin Feng was still very suspicious of her identity.
"Teacher Li, how many years did you stay in Germany?"
"Not many years. I went to West Germany when I was 9 years old and only came back to China a year ago."
"I wonder if Teacher Li has any hobbies?"
"No particular hobbies, just reading books and watching movies. How about you, Teacher Lin? What do you like?"
"I quite like cars because mine always breaks down for no apparent reason."
"You’re joking, how can a car just break down inexplicably?"
...
The dinner that Lin Feng and Li Hong shared went fairly smoothly, without any interruptions. They chatted as they ate, and time flew by quickly. However, Lin Feng had already ascertained one thing – this beautiful woman definitely had a special purpose. Many details from her evening exposed her trained behavior, which was too perfect, even excessively so, akin to a textbook example of mannerisms and speech. If you attributed this to someone who had studied in Germany for over a decade, it was definitely not normal.
Falling for his good looks? Impossible. Lin Feng didn’t believe he was that handsome.
Love at first sight? Even less likely. She was too beautiful to fall for someone like himself.
Seeking a friend of the opposite sex? Wrong again. With her perfect demeanor, she wouldn’t casually look for male friends.
...
Lin Feng went through various reasons in his mind. A fox’s tail always shows in the end. Li Hong had had her eye on him from the start, and her insistence on treating him to dinner already revealed that she had some thoughts about him. Though he usually found his life boring and didn’t want to get involved in earth-shattering events, if this goal-oriented woman wanted to play games, he was willing to play along and was also eager to find out her real intentions.
So after the meal, Lin Feng drove Li Hong back to the university as he learned during dinner that she was now living in a dormitory provided by the school. Sitting in Lin Feng’s car, Li Hong confidently took off her outer coat, revealing her tight-fitting undershirt underneath.
"Teacher Lin, come sit in my dorm for a while." Li Hong was now incredibly charming and seductive, the tight shirt accentuating her attractive curves. At such a late hour, suggesting such a thing, no man had ever refused her before. This tactic had never failed, and once they reached her room and she offered him a glass of water, all decisions were up to her from there.
"Isn’t it too late? Wouldn’t that be inconvenient?" Seeing Li Hong like this, Lin Feng knew she was deliberately trying to seduce him. To find out her ultimate goal, he pretended to be enticed by her, responding to her words.
"What time is it now? It’s not late at all. Besides, I went out to shop this afternoon. I bought both coffee and tea. Which would you like?" Li Hong replied very naturally, her heart secretly rejoicing, thinking Lin Feng had finally taken the bait. As long as he was hooked, the rest would be easy. She mentioned buying tea and coffee to make her act more convincing, trying not to arouse Lin Feng’s suspicions.
But what Li Hong didn’t realize in her wishful thinking was that Lin Feng had already seen through everything. The more she did these things, the more it indicated she had definite intentions, and her actions were betraying her.
"Tea... Ding dong, ding dong!" Lin Feng was just about to casually choose tea when his phone in his pocket rang. With no choice, he had to stop talking to Li Hong and took out his phone to see—it was a call from Ye Xiaoyu. Puzzled, he wondered why Ye Xiaoyu would call him at this time.
"Hello, Xiaoyu? This is Lin Feng. What’s up, calling me so late?" Lin Feng answered the phone and took the initiative to ask. Normally, they should be in their dormitories at this time and not calling him. Could something have happened?
"Teacher Lin, I... I like you. Do you know? I really like you a lot. That... Shen Yao, she’s a college student; she could be your... girlfriend, I... Even I or Rongrong can!" Xiaoyu’s voice was muffled and indistinct over the phone.
"Have you been drinking? You’re students, you shouldn’t be drinking," Lin Feng said as soon as he heard Ye Xiaoyu’s voice. His first instinct was that she had been drinking, and quite a lot too, otherwise Ye Xiaoyu wouldn’t be speaking like that.
"We’re students, but won’t we no longer be students after we graduate? And Teacher Lin, I really like you. Now... now college students can... can also get married while still in school. Let’s get married, okay?" Ye Xiaoyu’s voice came through again, but it sounded more ethereal now, giving an unreal sensation.
"Teacher Lin, I like you so much too, I really do, I just want you to hold me right now. Did you know, Xiaoyu’s dream is... is for both her and me to marry you... What do you say, is that okay? Ha ha..." Mao Rongrong’s voice also came from the phone, clearly having snatched the phone to talk.
Hearing the voices of the two school beauties and the noisy environment over the phone, Lin Feng was quite certain that they were in a bar, because the music was the kind that only bars had.
What made Lin Feng feel even more that something wasn’t right was that Mao Rongrong was normally very well-behaved. She wouldn’t say such preposterous things even if she wasn’t drunk.
If they weren’t drunk, then why were they not thinking clearly?
Bar, drunk, not thinking clearly...
No good, something must have happened to them; they shouldn’t be like this otherwise. Something was wrong.
With that thought, Lin Feng suddenly pulled the car over.
"Get out!" Lin Feng said directly to Li Hong, without a hint of politeness. He was in no mood to be courteous to this woman with ulterior motives.
"What? Teacher Lin, are you... are you sure you want me to get out here?" Li Hong was utterly baffled by Lin Feng’s words. Why would he suddenly stop the car and ask her to get out? Li Hong had no idea where in Tianhai she was, how could Lin Feng just leave her here?
What kind of phone call had Lin Feng taken to suddenly act this way? He had no consideration that she was a girl; he just wanted to chase her off the car. What was going on? Just moments ago Lin Feng was gentle and refined, so why had he suddenly become so cold and heartless?
"Yes, take a cab," Lin Feng said, and without waiting for Li Hong to react, he opened the car door, pushed the stunned Li Hong out, then turned the car around and drove off in the blink of an eye. Nothing was more important to Lin Feng at the moment than to save Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong.
What! This...
Lin Feng had actually pushed her out, letting her fall to the ground! Li Hong could hardly believe what was happening was real. For someone like her, a beauty that people couldn’t pamper enough, who could have imagined being pushed from a car, and falling to the ground...
Watching Lin Feng’s car disappear, it took Li Hong quite a while to come to terms with the fact that what had just happened was real, and she slowly got up from the ground. Although she wasn’t hurt from being pushed onto the ground by Lin Feng, her eyes were red—not from feeling wronged, but from anger. No man had ever treated her like this before, and Lin Feng was the first. If she didn’t get back at him, Li Hong felt sure she would go crazy.
"Lin Feng, just you wait, I’ll make sure you pay for this!"
Li Hong shouted angrily in the direction where Lin Feng had disappeared, then slowly turned back to wait for a passing taxi. Her expression was extremely grim at that moment. No man had ever treated her like this, and she was determined to make Lin Feng pay a bloody price...
...
Last year during the Chinese New Year, Ji Yunlong had reported to Qian Duoduo on the development of Tianhai’s group, and asked for permission to continue strengthening the group’s presence in Tianhai. With Qian Duoduo’s approval, Ji Yunlong acquired one of Tianhai’s largest bars, Qingfeng Bar, refurbished it, and reopened it with a new name, The Usual Place Bar.
The bar employed many of the group’s underlings; however, from the very beginning, even before the bar’s re-opening, Ji Yunlong strictly followed Qian Duoduo’s instructions: the bar must not get involved in drugs or prostitution. Only in this way could the bar have a long-term operation. Therefore, Ji Yunlong had turned away countless individuals seeking partnership, telling them The Usual Place Bar needed none of those things, and to stay as far away as possible.
After all the arrangements were made, Ji Yunlong called Qian Duoduo, hoping to see the boss turn up at the opening ceremony to lend support and boost morale.
Upon receiving Ji Yunlong’s call, Qian Duoduo readily agreed. Over the years, the group had been gradually legitimizing its operations and the management had steadily progressed. This kind of result was the best. Now that the large bar, covering an area of five thousand square meters, was about to open, it was reasonable for her to show up to support Ji Yunlong and to check on the management of the bar.
