Chapter 501 Qian Duoduo Arrived
Lin Feng and Shang Yi walked and talked, and Lin Feng felt utterly speechless about the things Shang Yi brought up. He had never imagined causing such a big commotion, but after some thought, he understood what had happened. If nothing went wrong, it must have been those women behind him who, worried about him, had made such a grand gesture. Knowing that they did it out of concern for him, Lin Feng could only helplessly chuckle in the end.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the guesthouse and took a seat in a private room to continue their conversation. However, from Lin Feng’s attitude on the road, Shang Yi realized his junior did not wish to talk about certain matters, so he changed the subject, steering the conversation towards the men of the Scout Team One. He wanted to know exactly what his junior had taught them to bring about such a rapid transformation.
"Little brother, how did those nine brats perform? You must have taught them quite a few things," Shang Yi casually inquired, as it was not yet time to eat. He had seen the changes in the nine men from Scout Team One with his own eyes and was sure that, barring any unforeseen events, they would certainly give everyone a pleasant surprise in the future.
"They performed quite well, managing to survive my torment. I didn’t impart much to them, but everything was lethal. Big brother, I suggest that what I taught them should not be spread. If those skills were learned by ill-intentioned people, they could become a scourge. If others are really to learn, we must only choose those who are truly trustworthy," Lin Feng said, reflecting on the performance of those nine men and offering a fair appraisal. He then thought about the potential risks of disseminating those skills and decided to caution his senior brother, lest his eagerness to enhance the Field Combat Division’s combat skills cause unwarranted trouble.
"Moreover, I suggest that for those nine men from Scout Team One, it would be best to find them a secluded place to lay low and train. This will be far more effective than staying in the barracks. If possible, they should be given more challenging missions to accelerate their growth," Lin Feng added after some thought. The training required by Scout Team One’s men had surpassed that of normal soldiers too much and was no longer appropriate within the barracks. The best way to improve was to train and progress on their own. In the days ahead, no one else could help them; it was up to them.
"Understood, I know what to do now, thank you, little brother," Shang Yi instantly grasped the meaning behind Lin Feng’s words and understood what needed to be done. Following his junior’s training methods would surely produce nine sharp knives for the army. He would set aside a mountain for them to go all out once he returned.
"Little brother, how is our master doing?" Looking around and seeing no one else, Shang Yi hurriedly asked about the matter he cared most about. He had missed the chance to ask last time as Lin Feng had left abruptly, and he took the opportunity now to inquire earnestly. He missed their master very much.
"I haven’t seen him in over half a year, not since last summer’s return," Lin Feng replied.
"How was our master’s health half a year ago? Was he well?"
"Very well."
"That’s good to hear. I miss him so much; I wonder when I’ll get to see our master again."
...
After they had discussed business, Shang Yi shifted the conversation to their master and began reminiscing about old times with his junior brother, Lin Feng. They talked about the past, and Shang Yi also got to know Lin Feng’s general situation. Time flew by unconsciously, and soon it was time to eat. The cooks began serving food, and in tacit agreement, the two stopped talking.
Before long, the dishes were served, and the members of Scout Team One, having washed up and changed clothes, had also arrived in the private room. Today’s celebration banquet had no outsiders, just the nine men from Scout Team One, Lin Feng, Shang Yi, and one more person responsible for assisting Shang Yi, Zhang Wenhua—twelve people in total!
After filling their cups with liquor, Shang Yi was the first to raise his glass.
"This drink is to celebrate your success, junior brother, in honor of your successful operation against Gang Leader Ruan Tiansheng’s lair. Come, cheers!" Shang Yi was extremely happy, having unexpectedly gained an unimaginably strong junior brother and having honed the nine knives of Scout Team One. Encountering such an event made him truly ecstatic!
Lin Feng didn’t say anything; he simply raised his glass and stood up, though inwardly he felt quite helpless. Under today’s circumstances, unless something unexpected happened, he was sure to become the toastmaster of the evening.
"Thank you, Chief Instructor, thank you, Instructor Lin. Cheers!" Xia Yong was also very happy today. Without Lin Feng leading them these past days, they would never have achieved such a change. Everything was given by Lin Feng, so tonight, they absolutely had to see Lin Feng drink to the ground!
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
...
The members of Scout Team One shouted in unison and drained their cups of white liquor in one go, the burning sensation bringing an indescribable thrill. Today was all about joy without a care for anything else!
After this round of drinks, the dinner officially began.
"Today in this room, there are no superiors, no instructors, everyone is the same. Let’s all join in treating my junior brother, Lin Feng, to a good time," Shang Yi said with a smile, his heart filled with joy upon seeing the nine people before him. He decided to let these nine people bond well with his junior brother. After tomorrow, the junior brother would leave this place, and it would not be easy to see him again.
"Instructor Lin, come drink, thank you for what you’ve taught us."
"Instructor Lin, cheers! Thank you!"
"Instructor Lin, if I ever stop being a soldier, I’ll definitely come to find you!"
...
In an instant, the members of the scout squad all pointed their gun muzzles toward Lin Feng, zealously toasting him. They were happy yet also saddened in their hearts; glad that with Lin Feng’s help, everyone had improved like never before, but sad that Lin Feng was likely leaving tomorrow, meaning they would have to part ways with him.
So, at this moment, they only had one thought: to drink well with Lin Feng and properly express their gratitude!
"Alright, cheers!" Seeing the situation, Lin Feng did not say much. The nine people before him were all good soldiers, and he, without refusing anyone, joined them in drinking.
...
As the wine made three rounds and the dishes passed through five flavors, time flew by without them realizing. The people from the scout squad were quite restrained; everyone had drunk a lot, but no one showed signs of drunkenness. They turned away and left the private room, not wanting to look back because they couldn’t bear to see Lin Feng leave...
"Your room is upstairs, go rest," Shang Yi said, seeing the scout squad members leave. He then spoke up, inviting his junior brother to head out and rest in the room. At the same time, he was very impressed with his junior brother, who had not shown any signs of drunkenness despite being plied with alcohol by nine people. His tolerance was extraordinary, but Shang Yi was not surprised, for anything could happen with his junior brother!
"Alright." Lin Feng, spoiled a bit uncomfortably by these nine individuals, had drunk a lot yet showed no signs of being drunk; alcohol seemed to have lost its effect on him. He only felt the uncomfortable bloating of water in his belly.
Throughout the way, Shang Yi and Lin Feng did not speak much, and both men arrived at the room arranged for Lin Feng and sat down.
"Senior brother, this is for you. Inside is all the information from the Golden Triangle obtained from Ruan Tiansheng, including various intelligence reports as well as their drug trafficking networks. You handle it," Lin Feng, sitting on the bed, passed the backpack behind him to Shang Yi. He had been busy talking before and then drinking, so he hadn’t had the chance to hand over the item to Shang Yi until now.
"Alright, I’ll take care of it; you can rest assured." Shang Yi weighed the backpack for a moment, instantly understanding the value of its contents. He already began pondering how to handle the information.
"Junior brother, Zhang Wenhua just told me something. Someone has come looking for you; I’ve let her come up," Shang Yi said with a smile, not waiting for Lin Feng to say anything before he turned and left the room.
Who could be looking for him at the senior brother’s place?
Lin Feng, puzzled by his senior brother’s words, also felt very strange. His senior brother’s location was incredibly hard to find, and yet someone had come to seek him out so soon after his return. Who could it be?
While Lin Feng was wondering, the door opened, and in came a wheelchair. Once he saw clearly who was seated in it, Lin Feng was immediately very surprised.
"Qian Duoduo, why is it you?" Lin Feng had never expected to see Qian Duoduo; she shouldn’t have come here as per common sense. Her injury required her to avoid moving around. She... how did she come here?
"Old Eleven, there’s nothing more for you here, you can go," Qian Duoduo said to the person who had pushed her in without hurrying to answer Lin Feng, signaling him to wait outside.
"Yes, Gang Leader!" The man referred to as Old Eleven, upon hearing Qian Duoduo’s command, quickly released his hands from the wheelchair and then turned and left the room, closing the door behind him. However, before leaving, he still cast a glance, whether meaningful or not, at the young man inside the room.
"Lin Feng, you didn’t expect it to be me, did you? But what you don’t know is that I’ve been here for two days," Qian Duoduo sat in the wheelchair, still in great discomfort throughout her body, but this hardly mattered to her. If it weren’t for her physical considerations, she wouldn’t even want to be in this wheelchair. With Old Eleven gone, Qian Duoduo began to speak with a smile to Lin Feng, who looked surprised.
"Of course not, you should not be out with your condition. You’ve been here for two days? How did you find this place?" Lin Feng looked at Qian Duoduo before him, and for some reason, he felt an indescribable sentiment; the Qian Duoduo before him seemed different from the one who used to play and brawl with him.
"Yeah, I came here two days ago. In the time you were in the Golden Triangle, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, the two sisters, were worried sick. They didn’t hear from you at all, which made them extremely anxious. Just as my injuries showed slight improvement two days ago, the sisters rushed me here to help you," Qian Duoduo looked at Lin Feng, speaking naturally. However, she purposely omitted the fact that she had been just as worried for Lin Feng as Leng Mei and the others during that time.
