Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 555: Wait for My Good News (Eighth Update)

"How is your brother doing now?" Lin Feng asked as they walked.

"After he woke up just now, Grandpa Chen spoke with him, and then he took his medicine and fell asleep again. He looks very weak right now," said Leng Mei, immediately describing Leng Hao’s condition. She wanted Lin Feng to heal her brother quickly and also remove the poison within him.

"Hmm, it’s good that he’s asleep right now; I’ll take a good look at him," Lin Feng responded, then followed Leng Mei in silence, his estimate of Leng Hao’s condition not far off from the truth. He suspected this would happen—Leng Hao had not felt it at first, but once the poison was drawn out, it led to his current state.

"Creak..."

Lin Feng and Leng Mei entered Leng Hao’s room, where they saw him asleep on the bed. Leng Mei wanted to wake her brother, but Lin Feng stopped her straight away. He sat down beside Leng Hao, lightly placed his fingers on Leng Hao’s wrist to take his pulse, and closed his eyes.

Seeing Lin Feng intently treating her brother, Leng Mei kept silent, watching, ready to help Lin Feng with any instructions he might have, and also very anxious about the extent of her brother’s injuries.

Before long, Lin Feng opened his eyes, having fully grasped Leng Hao’s condition. The poison administered was a slow-acting one, its properties rather unique—its toxicity had gradually integrated with Leng Hao’s muscular tissues and bones. However, the poison was still treatable; it was only hard to detect. For Lin Feng, prescribing a medicine would suffice. After about a month of detoxification, they could ensure all the poison was cleansed from his system.

"Lin Feng, how is it, my brother..." Leng Mei asked, seeing Lin Feng open his eyes and quickly inquired, hoping her brother would recover soon.

"Don’t worry, I’ll write a prescription. If he takes it consistently for a month, it will clear all the toxins from his body. It’s good he’s asleep now; it’s beneficial for his recovery. Let’s step outside," Lin Feng, knowing Leng Mei’s concern for Leng Hao, assured her that her brother’s condition was relatively straightforward. He wanted to ease her worries, so he told her the outcome and gestured for her to leave the room with him to let Leng Hao rest properly.

Without a word, Leng Mei went to Leng Hao’s side, tucked him in, then turned and walked out of the room with Lin Feng. What Leng Mei did not expect was that, just as they stepped out of the room and she was about to speak to Lin Feng, her phone in her pocket began to vibrate suddenly, leaving her quite puzzled—who would call her this late?

"Hello, is this Leng Mei? I heard you’re Lin Feng’s mistress, is this true or false?"

"Leng Mei? I just heard about your affair with Lin Feng..."

"Leng Mei, old classmate, I didn’t expect..."

"Leng Mei, you..."

...

One after another, Leng Mei received calls, but eventually, she turned off her phone. Now, Leng Mei was ice cold with anger, her face turned ghostly pale. The content of the calls was all the same, revealing her affair with Lin Feng. Plus, everyone knew that Lin Feng was a heartbreaker with a fiancée and several girlfriends, and such exposure would significantly damage the Leng Family’s reputation.

Her grandpa was already so old; if such a scandal occurred now, he might suffer remarks from others because of it—what to do?

Alas! Leng Mei sighed deeply, filled with indignant rage, trembling with fury, her face purpling, tears flowing uncontrollably. Who could have leaked all of Lin Feng’s affairs, leaving her unsure how to face her grandpa, her parents, and her brother? Leng Mei’s head was spinning. The news had spread across the entire Capital City through text messages—how could this be good?

"It’s okay, I’m here," Lin Feng, who had inadvertently heard the content of the phone calls, felt anger as well and quickly comforted Leng Mei, indicating that he could deal with the situation. After speaking, Lin Feng took out his phone and immediately called his senior brother Wang Anjun; when it came to sources of information, who could be more professional than his senior brother’s people!

"Senior Brother, you know why I’m looking for you, right? Help me check the source of that message." Lin Feng got straight to the point, as the content of this message had already spread to nearly every phone in Capital City, and he couldn’t believe his Senior Brother would be unaware of it.

"Junior Brother, of course, there’s no problem, in fact, I’ve already sent someone to take care of it. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news," Wang Anjun replied to his Junior Brother’s call without any surprise. Just that morning, he had reunited with his Junior Brother, not expecting such an incident to occur that evening. Without needing his Junior Brother to tell him, he knew this was no trivial matter. If mishandled, it would definitely cause trouble for the Leng Family, so as soon as he saw the message, Wang Anjun had already arranged for his men to start investigating who had spread it.

"Then fine, let me know as soon as there’s news." Lin Feng felt at ease hearing his Senior Brother say this, confident that his Senior Brother’s people would be quick to dig out the person behind the scenes, plotting to smear the Leng Family. Once they did, he wouldn’t be courteous at all.

He casually hung up the call, seeing Leng Mei next to him, furious and indignant, Lin Feng shook his head.

"Don’t worry, my Senior Brother has already started the investigation. Once he finds out who the mastermind behind this incident is, I’ll take care of everything." Lin Feng’s words were filled with concern, his thoughts were simple: he should handle such matters, there was no need for Leng Mei to fret over it.

Leng Mei felt warm in her heart hearing Lin Feng speak, saying nothing and just leaning on Lin Feng. In that moment, she truly understood that finding someone like Lin Feng was the happiest thing in her life. Lin Feng was her haven, and leaning in his arms during such times, Leng Mei’s heart was extremely content.

Having Lin Feng was wonderful, although she didn’t know how Lin Feng would handle it, she was certain that if he said he could do it, he would. Leng Mei had no doubts that once Lin Feng took action, this storm would be quickly calmed. That would be the best resolution, and at this point, she even began to regret bringing Lin Feng to Capital City; otherwise, they wouldn’t have encountered such an incident today...

Lin Feng patted Leng Mei within his embrace, aware she was deeply saddened by the incident, as it indeed didn’t reflect well on the Leng Family’s reputation. Since the situation had arisen because of him, he of course had to settle these affairs, pulling Leng Mei to sit at the tea table in the courtyard, they began waiting for news from his Senior Brother.

"Tell me about your childhood," Lin Feng said, feeling the awkward atmosphere, wanting to momentarily shift Leng Mei’s focus from the recent incident. He initiated the conversation, hoping to help Leng Mei relax.

"I grew up in this courtyard. When I first came to Grandpa’s place, I was just 5 years old, then..." Leng Mei slowly shared her childhood stories with Lin Feng, knowing he was trying to divert her attention, but still felt that since he had asked, she might as well tell him everything that had happened, including how she had kicked Zeng Xiaolong’s "egg" years ago.

Time flew by unnoticeably, and without realizing, Leng Mei had been talking for nearly an hour. Just as she was about to finish, Lin Feng’s phone rang.

"Junior Brother, I found out. The person who sent that message is someone named Jiao Ming, but guess who Jiao Ming works for?" Wang Anjun, having received the information, immediately called his Junior Brother Lin Feng’s phone, wanting him to be the first to know what was happening!

"Don’t tell me it’s Zeng Xiaolong," Lin Feng had suspected Zeng Xiaolong of being behind it all along but had no evidence. Whoever dared to release such information against Leng Mei, against the Leng Family, must hold significant power in Capital City; no one else would dare. And since he had clashed with Zeng Xiaolong just last night—Zeng Xiaolong who was from the Capital City’s Zeng Family—the likelihood of it being him was high. Thus, hearing his Senior Brother’s words, Lin Feng immediately shared his guess. If he wasn’t mistaken, it was very likely him.

"It is Zeng Xiaolong, and I’ve also found out he’s currently at the most secluded, standalone villa in the Beishan Villa District in the Northern Suburbs. Be careful," Wang Anjun wasn’t surprised that his Junior Brother could guess it was Zeng Xiaolong’s doing. Someone as smart as his Junior Brother would undoubtedly know who might be against him. Since that was the case, he might as well give all the details to his Junior Brother, making it much easier for him to take action.

"Thanks, Senior Brother, let’s grab a drink when you’re free," Lin Feng said before hanging up the phone. He glanced at Leng Mei in front of him and decided to tell her before leaving.

"Leng Mei, I need to take care of that matter." Lin Feng didn’t want to hide anything, especially since he believed whatever was going to happen would be clear by the next morning.

"Lin Feng, be careful, make sure you come back safe," Leng Mei didn’t say much, just cautioned Lin Feng to be careful. She genuinely didn’t know how to deal with such matters, and felt it was most appropriate for Lin Feng to handle it. This issue must be resolved, otherwise, she truly wouldn’t be able to face Grandpa and the others.

"Rest assured, wait for my good news." Lin Feng said and then stood up to leave, taking the car he had driven the previous night from the Leng Residence and heading towards the Beishan Villa in the Northern Suburbs.
