Chapter 472: Senior Brother Shang Yi
Chapter 472: Senior Brother Shang Yi
Lin Feng was clearly aware that in such a complex environment, if he really brought someone along, it wouldn’t only be unhelpful, but that person could even become a burden slowing him down—a situation Lin Feng absolutely did not want to see. On the contrary, if he went alone, it would be much simpler. He could do anything he wanted without any concerns, as everyone in the Golden Triangle was a drug trafficker; killing them would be just that, killing them.
However, to ease Ding Wan’er and the others’ minds, Lin Feng felt it was better to come up with a solution. Otherwise, if he insisted on going alone, they would definitely be extremely worried. Even though he was heading to the Golden Triangle, having Ding Wan’er and the others constantly worried about him at home was not something Lin Feng wanted to happen.
"Really, it’s not necessary. I have people who will help me there. I have a senior brother who happens to be a division commander of the Field Combat Division," Lin Feng suddenly remembered a senior brother whose name he had seen on a business card, who was the division commander of a Field Combat Division near the Golden Triangle. Using this senior brother as a cover here would surely make Ding Wan’er and the others feel at ease with the reputation of the Field Combat Division.
"What, a division commander of the Field Combat Division? Your senior brother?" When Qian Rong heard Lin Feng’s words, he was incredibly surprised. Lin Feng had a senior brother? And he was a division commander of the Field Combat Division? Was that real or fake? Could it be that Lin Feng was making up an excuse just to comfort everyone?
"Senior brother?" Ding Wan’er was also surprised. Didn’t Lin Feng already have Senior Brother Wang Anjun and Senior Sister Chu Meng? How come another senior brother cropped up, and a division commander of the Field Combat Division at that? How many senior brothers did Lin Feng have? But this was good; the Field Combat Divisions in the border areas were all elites. If they could protect Lin Feng, it would also give her some peace of mind.
"Senior brother?" Leng Mei was skeptical about this senior brother Lin Feng suddenly mentioned. She knew that Lin Feng had senior brothers and sisters, but the Field Combat Division was not an ordinary unit. Having grown up in the military compound, she was well aware of what the Field Combat Divisions near the border represent—those were all the most outstanding soldiers in the country, veterans who had been through the test of fire and blood, many even special forces among special forces.
Yet, Lin Feng claimed he had a senior brother who was the division commander of the Field Combat Division near the Golden Triangle. Hearing this, Leng Mei felt reassured. The combat strength of the Field Combat Division was incredibly formidable. If the senior brother Lin Feng mentioned truly existed, then Lin Feng would definitely face no life-threatening dangers on his trip to the Golden Triangle.
"A division commander of the Field Combat Division? Are you sure you’re not just saying this to comfort us?" Like Qian Rong, Ding Yi found it very strange when he heard Lin Feng say his senior brother was the division commander of the Field Combat Division near the Golden Triangle. Logically speaking, Lin Feng’s senior brother should also be a very powerful person. How could he just join the army, let alone become a division commander of the Field Combat Division? That seemed even more unlikely. So it was possible that Lin Feng was comforting them not to worry about him going to the Golden Triangle by making up a non-existent person.
"Old rogue, old scholar, you can all rest easy now. I really do have a senior brother who is the division commander there. I’ll definitely return unharmed. It’s about time for me to catch my flight. Oh, I’m leaving Qian Duoduo’s prescription with you. The ingredients are relatively easy to obtain. According to the prescription, use one dose in the morning and one at night. She should recover quickly. When I get back, I’ll prepare some scar-removing medicine for her," said Lin Feng. Then he handed Qian Rong the prescription he had written the night before, signaling that their main priority now should be to take good care of Qian Duoduo and not focus on his trip to the Golden Triangle. However, the speculation from Ding Yi and Qian Rong made Lin Feng feel speechless—this senior brother really did exist, and although they had never been in touch, that did not mean such a person did not exist. Plus, there were many more of his senior brothers and sisters listed there on the card...
"However, old rogue, it’s best to take Qian Duoduo to a safe place during this time. The fewer people who know, the better for her safety. I won’t be in Tianhai, and I don’t want any accidents to occur," said Lin Feng. Although he was about to depart for the Golden Triangle, Lin Feng was still somewhat worried about the matters at home. The safety of those left behind was his greatest concern, and especially since Qian Duoduo had just undergone surgery, nothing could go wrong. Thinking this, Lin Feng felt it was better to clarify this with Qian Rong.
"Don’t worry, she’s my granddaughter. I, as her grandfather, know what to do. On the other hand, you must be careful over there in the Golden Triangle. Otherwise, neither the old scholar nor Wan’er will let me off!" Qian Rong still felt uneasy, and there was a bittersweet feeling in his heart. Although Lin Feng said he was going to kill Ruan Jun in the Golden Triangle to prevent further assassination attempts on Lin Feng and Duoduo, in essence, it was for Duoduo. How could he, an old man, ever repay such a debt!
Although he very much wanted Duoduo and Lin Feng to be together, Duoduo had no feelings for Lin Feng, and there was nothing Qian Rong, as her grandfather, could do about it. He could only hope to matchmake them when Lin Feng returned...
"That’s it, then. There’s no need for you to see me off. Just take good care of Duoduo at the hospital. Wait for the good news at home," Lin Feng said. After speaking, he turned around and left directly. If he continued to stay in the room, the conversation would only drag on, so it was better to leave right away.
And so, he left.
He made it sound so easy.
How could there be anything so easy.
...
The four people, young and old, in Ding Yi’s family stared blankly at the door through which Lin Feng had left. They hadn’t expected him to leave so directly, but they understood that Lin Feng didn’t want them to worry. Yet, how could they not worry? All four of them were connected to Lin Feng, and their hearts hung in the balance, anxious for his safety.
Having descended the stairs, Lin Feng walked along the road and, after much thought, decided to make a call to Huang Shi. He would definitely be gone for several days, and during that time, the safety of his home could only be entrusted to Huang Shi. Moreover, given the extraordinary circumstances—with Qian Duoduo already so badly injured—Lin Feng wouldn’t stand for any harm coming to others. With the stakes so high, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
"I’m stepping out to handle some business. I’m entrusting you with Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s safety, as well as the safety of my parents. Send someone to keep watch over them too. If you need anything, contact the city bureau chief, Zhou Yang. Just tell him it’s arranged by me. Don’t tell me you don’t have any skilled bodyguards at home."
"Boss, you can rest easy. I will absolutely ensure everyone’s safety. But Boss, where exactly are you going and how long will it take?" Huang Shi, upon hearing Lin Feng speak to him this way, instantly grasped the gravity of the situation and promptly expressed his firm determination to fulfill the task. Yet, at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling extremely curious about where Lin Feng was headed, deducing that it must be a lengthy trip since the Boss had given him these instructions.
"Just going over to the Golden Triangle to kill someone, it won’t take very long." Lin Feng casually revealed his itinerary to Huang Shi, as he felt there was nothing that needed to be hidden from his younger brother.
"What! The Golden Triangle! Just going there to kill someone! Boss, that’s... too dangerous!" Huang Shi was startled by Lin Feng’s words. The Golden Triangle was notorious, a place riddled with gunfire and violence. Although Lin Feng was formidable, he was renowned for his physical prowess, not invincibility to bullets. Huang Shi couldn’t help worrying for Lin Feng since guns ruled conversations in the Golden Triangle, and there was no doubt Lin Feng would be in danger there...
"There’s no need for such surprise. When I return, I’ll take you somewhere if there’s time." Lin Feng, having heard Huang Shi’s shocked response, finally put his mind completely at ease. With his home free of concerns, he didn’t pay any mind to Huang Shi’s astonishment. After saying this, he immediately hung up the phone. However, Lin Feng had taken note of Huang Shi’s conduct during this period and felt that it was about time to teach him a thing or two.
While waiting for his flight at the airport, Lin Feng finally got through to his senior brother, who was the commander of the Field Combat Division.
"Hello, may I speak with Shang Yi?" Lin Feng asked promptly as the call connected.
"This is Shang Yi. Who’s this?" Shang Yi, looking to be in his forties, over six feet tall with handsome features and radiating an atmosphere of integrity while dressed in a camo uniform, was at his office when he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number. It made him feel quite puzzled, as his phone number was known to very few, and it hardly rang more than once in a couple of months. Who could this be?
"This is your junior brother, Lin Feng! Oh, right, Senior Brother, you certainly know what ’1911’ means, don’t you?" Upon hearing that it was Shang Yi on the other end, Lin Feng directly confirmed his identity as Shang Yi’s junior brother. Then, recalling the issues he faced when calling Senior Sister Chu Meng and Senior Brother Wang Anjun, he immediately mentioned the special number, ’1911,’ to help Shang Yi confirm his identity.
"What! Junior Brother! Is it really you? How’s Master doing? Is he still in good health? I miss seeing him so much. Are you with him right now? Where are you? I’ll come over immediately..." At first, Shang Yi was puzzled about having a junior brother, but as soon as Lin Feng mentioned the number ’1911,’ everything clicked for Shang Yi!
He would never forget the special number engraved on Master’s ring for as long as he lived. Since Lin Feng could mention that number outright, it confirmed beyond a doubt that Lin Feng was indeed his junior brother!
Shang Yi had never imagined that he would have a junior brother. It had been a full fifteen years since he last saw their Master, with no news from him, and Shang Yi had always been concerned. He wondered when he would see Master again, but never expected such an enormous surprise today. Suddenly, a junior brother had fallen from the sky, so to speak, which meant there must be news of their Master. With this thought, Shang Yi stood up, his mouth flooding with questions about Master’s whereabouts as he longed to see him...
