Chapter 503: Time to Go Home
"A big liar?"
"Yes! At the time, that’s really what I thought. The things Grandpa talked about, nobody would believe them!"
"So when did you start to believe?"
"It wasn’t until that time in the bar when you saved me that I realized you really were the super expert my grandfather had described."
"Sometimes even the truth won’t be believed by anyone."
"Mm, after talking to your senior sister, and the other two sisters, only then did I realize I’d gotten everything wrong."
"And afterwards?"
"Afterwards..."
...
Once all the emotional knots had been untied, Lin Feng and Qian Duoduo chatted very comfortably, recounting every little incident that had happened in the past. Time slipped by without them noticing, and it wasn’t until almost dawn that Qian Duoduo was forcibly put to bed to sleep by Lin Feng. Only then did she get a bit of rest. Otherwise, given Qian Duoduo’s enthusiasm, she would want to keep talking until daylight. Lin Feng certainly did not want any mishap occurring to Qian Duoduo’s just-recovering health.
And Lin Feng, he sat by the bed watching Qian Duoduo sleep. When she had fallen deep into slumber, he covered her properly with the blanket, then he too sank into deep thought, pondering over what path to take next. Eventually, out of boredom, he even started playing with the Innate Divination Technique he had learned from his master, casting fortunes for each of the women close to him...
...
As it happened unconsciously, daylight broke. Lin Feng did not disturb Qian Duoduo’s rest until the resonant sound of the wake-up call from the military base woke her, only then did Qian Duoduo realise it was morning.
"You slept soundly last night," said Lin Feng, looking at Qian Duoduo. She had travelled thousands of miles to this place, with a body not yet recovered. It was really hard on her.
"Mmm, I slept very well." Waking up and seeing Lin Feng standing by her side gave Qian Duoduo an indescribable warmth in her heart. She had never had such a restful sleep before. This feeling was so comfortable, so very comfortable! In her days in the gang, she was always busy to the point of distraction and constantly on guard against others tampering with her, how could she possibly sleep so soundly!
"Let’s head back today. Everything here is already finished!" Lin Feng thought for a moment. Qian Duoduo’s health was not fully recovered yet and she needed to rest quietly. Since everything here was already over, it would be best to head back sooner.
"I can’t go back yet. You go first; otherwise, the two sisters will worry," Qian Duoduo expressed her understanding that Lin Feng was worried about her health and wanted to take her away from here as soon as possible, but she couldn’t leave yet; there were still things she hadn’t finished.
"Why?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Qian Duoduo wouldn’t leave with him. Was there still something that needed to be done here?
"I need to take advantage of the chaos in Ruan Tiansheng’s power to completely wipe out his people, to avenge the brothers who died in the Old Place Bar. That’s what I promised them," Qian Duoduo said calmly, but she had been troubled for a long time over this matter. If she didn’t avenge her fallen brothers, she wouldn’t be fulfilling her role as the Gang Leader, and her subordinates might also have their opinions.
"Alright then." Hearing Qian Duoduo speak, Lin Feng immediately understood her meaning, so he could only give a resigned wry smile. However, he did not want to persuade Qian Duoduo to go back; she had her position as the leader of the Great South Gang, of course, and there were many things that ordinary people couldn’t imagine, such as avenging her fellow brothers. It was something she had to stay and do.
"Let’s go for a walk outside. The air is very good in the military base," Lin Feng suggested naturally. Since the decision was already made, there was no use insisting. He changed the subject, preparing to take Qian Duoduo around the base. He would be leaving in the morning, and after that, the remaining issues would be hers to deal with alone. Those were matters for the Great South Gang, and Lin Feng felt it wasn’t his place to intervene. It was more practical to accompany Qian Duoduo and take a walk. Moreover, with the Blood-Kill Guards there, Lin Feng wasn’t worried about Qian Duoduo facing any danger.
"Okay." Qian Duoduo’s eyes lit up when she heard Lin Feng. This was the first time she’d walk with Lin Feng, even though it was inside a military base, even though she was still in a wheelchair. But none of that mattered; what was important was that Lin Feng was with her, and that was enough. Moreover, Lin Feng would be leaving soon, and Qian Duoduo cherished every moment she had with him.
Gently, Lin Feng helped Qian Duoduo into the wheelchair and eased the door open, being light-handed as he pushed her out. Casting a glance at the man who had stood outside all night, Lin Feng said nothing, just nodded his head and then pushed Qian Duoduo away from the guest house.
Walking through the military camp in the early morning, the air was filled with the resounding shouts of slogans, and both Lin Feng and Qian Duoduo, in silent agreement, did not speak, just quietly walked on...
Old Eleven was following not far behind, and now, seeing for the first time this man who had captivated the Gang Leader, he could not help but admire him. Due to a detail that nobody else had noticed, Old Eleven had seen that Lin Feng’s steps were exceptionally steady—and those footprints were definitely not from someone of normal weight!
If he was not mistaken, Lin Feng must have been hiding weights on his body; he was definitely a master. Under normal circumstances, masters of Grade A, even Grade AA, would not add weights to themselves, for in case of danger, that could hinder their movement, which would be very risky...
In other words, Lin Feng was absolutely a master above Grade AA level. No wonder he was able to win the heart of the Gang Leader. Suddenly, Old Eleven felt as if he understood everything.
After taking a round within the camp and resting briefly, Lin Feng pushed Qian Duoduo back to the guesthouse for breakfast, where they encountered his senior brother, Shang Yi.
"Junior brother, you’re leaving today, aren’t you?" Shang Yi hurried over to ask as soon as he saw Lin Feng pushing the woman who had sought him out the night before. He felt very reluctant for Lin Feng to leave, but there were no everlasting feasts in the world, and those who had to leave would eventually do so. You can’t force someone to stay, so Shang Yi came here early in the morning to see Lin Feng off.
"Yeah, I’ve been out for a good number of days; it’s time to head back," Lin Feng replied succinctly. He thought really highly of his senior brother, a man of candid nature, and if there was a chance in the future, he definitely wanted to spend more time together.
"Alright, when I get the chance, I’ll come to Tianhai to find you," Shang Yi said upon hearing Lin Feng. Just as he guessed, his junior brother was leaving. He thought to himself that he must find time to visit Tianhai to see other senior brothers and sisters. If his junior brother had not told him yesterday, he wouldn’t even know about the existence of another senior brother and sister; he really wanted to meet them.
"Sure, when you come, we’ll have a drink at my place, and I’ll cook myself," Lin Feng smiled at his senior brother Shang Yi. He knew what Shang Yi was thinking about, but Lin Feng also knew that someone like him could not move around freely; they would have to wait for another chance to get together.
"By the way, senior brother, could you do me a favor after I leave? Please look after Duoduo for me." Lin Feng glanced at Qian Duoduo in front of him and decided it was best to ask his senior brother to take care of her. With his senior brother watching over Qian Duoduo, he would feel more at ease. After all, his senior brother was a local authority and knew the situation here extremely well.
"You can rest assured, your woman will be well taken care of by your senior brother. If necessary, I’ll specially assign those nine rascals you brought to protect her safety," Shang Yi said with a laugh upon hearing Lin Feng’s request. This woman must be special to his junior brother, he thought; otherwise, why would she show up as soon as the junior brother returned last night?
Moreover, Shang Yi could also sense that this woman called Duoduo was no ordinary person; the one pushing her wheelchair was clearly a master. The aura of a killer emanating from him was a clear indicator that he was no simple man. And the fact that such a strong expert was willingly pushing her wheelchair testified to the extraordinary status of this Qian Duoduo! But whatever her status, it didn’t matter; after all, she was his junior brother’s woman. The stronger she was, the happier Shang Yi was, because only an exceptional woman could be a match for his junior brother!
"With those words from you, senior brother, I’m relieved. Let’s go and have breakfast," Lin Feng felt they shouldn’t just stand outside, and it was better to go in for breakfast. Today, he would leave this place. With his senior brother taking care of Qian Duoduo, he could rest easy. With the nine men he brought, he was confident that no harm would come to Qian Duoduo.
"Okay, let’s have breakfast, and then I’ll have Zhang Wenhua take you to the airport," Shang Yi gestured with his hand for everyone to go into the dining hall upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. He understood his junior brother’s rush to leave and that he must be eager to deal with matters at home. Since his junior brother was in a hurry, he couldn’t delay any longer.
"Okay," Lin Feng said, as he took over Qian Duoduo’s wheelchair from the man called Old Eleven and pushed it toward the dining hall...
The breakfast went smoothly, and after some simple words reminding Qian Duoduo to take care of her health, Lin Feng got into the car prepared by Shang Yi, ready to leave for the airport. But just as he settled into the car, members of the vanguard squad rushed over.
"Instructor Lin!"
"Instructor Lin!"
"Instructor Lin!"
...
The members all rushed to Lin Feng’s side to shake his hand one by one. They were deeply reluctant to part with the man who had brought about incredible progress for them. Their eyes reddened at the thought of his departure, but they knew it was inevitable that Lin Feng would leave—they couldn’t stop him from going home.
But as they saw Lin Feng truly getting into the car to leave, their hearts were filled with profound sorrow. The events of the past days flashed through their minds, their admiration for Lin Feng growing beyond words, truly reluctant for him to leave...
"Go back, guys. When you’re on leave and if there’s nothing important, come find me at Tianhai Yinbo University to share a drink," Lin Feng waved his hand to the standing nine men, signaling them to return. He could tell from their reddened eyes how they felt; that was enough for him. Moreover, he had a good impression of these nine true soldiers, which is why he had to say something in the end.
