Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 587: Settling Affairs with Leng Hao (Third Update)

Wang Tianlin is, after all, a half-step above him, and he is now calling to propose peace. What on earth is going on? How did it come to be that he suddenly had to relay such a message to Lin Feng? From the sound of it, it seems as if Wang Tianlin is already showing weakness, making the call out of desperation... This...

Leng Hui could not fathom what had transpired between Lin Feng and Wang Tianlin’s grandson that would make Wang Tianlin intervene on his grandson’s behalf to resolve the issue. This... This is too incredible! Conflicts among children are common, but what kind of conflict could make Wang Tianlin bow his head? It’s simply unthinkable.

Lin Feng... Lin Feng...

Right, there must be some irreconcilable conflict between Lin Feng and Wang Tianlin’s grandson, and Wang Tianlin must also know just how formidable Lin Feng is as a martial artist. Out of concern for Lin Feng’s skill, he wouldn’t dare to let Lin Feng continue without trying to appease him. That has to be it, it must be! Otherwise, there is no way Wang Tianlin would have made this call.

With this in mind, Leng Hui’s thoughts gradually became clear. Although he didn’t know what had happened between Lin Feng and Wang Tianlin’s grandson, it no longer mattered. What was important was the current outcome. The fact that Wang Tianlin was willing to make such a call for his grandson’s sake was proof enough that Wang Tianlin saw Lin Feng as a force he could not contend with and thought of resolving this situation through him. It was undoubtedly a signal that Lin Feng had reached a level he had never anticipated, capable of making a figure like Wang Tianlin, a half-step above him, lower his head... This...

"Right, Junsheng has also been in Tianhai for a few years now. It’s time for some movement. After all, cultivating young cadres is the current main theme. Us old folks won’t be around for many more years; the future belongs to them." When Wang Tianlin heard Leng Hui say this, he quickly added, hints of conceding some benefits in his words, but for his grandson, he was willing to do anything. As long as his grandson was safe, nothing else mattered.

"Isn’t that a little... inappropriate?" Leng Hui, hearing Wang Tianlin’s words, understood the implications. Wang Tianlin was trying to buy him over and have him speak on his behalf, but Leng Hui hadn’t expected the offered "cake" to be so generous. His son had already reached the position of Mayor of Tianhai City and was considered among the young cadres. If he advanced further, he would become an absolute dark horse in political circles, definitely attracting attention from others.

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I think it’s excellent. Let’s settle the matter this way. Later, I’ll discuss it with those old fellows, and it won’t be a problem at all. Mm, that’s settled then. I should go eat as well. Let’s get together when we have the chance and play a couple of rounds, haha!" Wang Tianlin’s laughter was hearty, and he was feeling very happy. There was no need for many words between people, just understanding each other was enough, and with Leng Hui intervening, the issue was sure to be resolved. The conversation didn’t need to go beyond that.

"Alright, let’s get together sometime and play a few games," Leng Hui replied noncommittally, though his mind was already pondering how to speak to Lin Feng and make clear the gravity of the situation. In truth, Leng Hui was not tempted by the "cake" Wang Tianlin had thrown out; he genuinely did not wish for Lin Feng and Wang Tianlin to become irreconcilably estranged. Even if Lin Feng was formidable, he couldn’t possibly be a match for Wang Tianlin. Since things had escalated to this point, a peaceful resolution would be preferable.

"Then, goodbye." Having said that, Wang Tianlin hung up. His face was still filled with envy as he thought to himself, "Leng Hui, you’ve truly secured an excellent grandson-in-law. With Lin Feng on your side, the rise of the Leng Family should be entirely possible. Among the old-timers who are still alive, which one has someone like Lin Feng under them? None, absolutely none! Right now, Leng Hui is like having a nuclear bomb no one else possesses, a deterrent power unmatched by anyone else. If the Leng Family doesn’t rise, that would truly be the real issue."

Well, let it be, the matter will stay as it is. Having his grandson go through this might not be a bad thing after all. Young people need to suffer a setback, a trial to grow stronger, and this could be beneficial for his grandson. The path he’s taken has been too smooth in the past; a setback like this might serve as a wake-up call—fortune from misfortune!

Sometimes knocking some sense into these kids can be a good thing. With him around, the children may indeed go too far in their actions. If this isn’t controlled, there could be bigger troubles in the future. Therefore, this incident might turn out to be a good thing, serving as a warning to the children, teaching them what should and shouldn’t be done.

If he was alive to influence them, it might be contained, but if such events occurred after his time, he wouldn’t be able to protect them. At that point, the children would deeply regret their actions. In this sense, having his grandson leave the Capital City could also be seen as a blessing in disguise, at least making the children realize there are many people in this world they cannot afford to provoke, encouraging them to lie low, which is only advantageous for their future.

With these thoughts, Wang Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief. Having weathered many storms, he viewed everything with detachment. Holding two Green Jade Balls, he played with them continuously, rising from his seat and walking into the villa.

As the busy tone from the phone filled the room, Leng Hui set down the receiver and began to contemplate Wang Tianlin’s words, considering how best to broach the subject with Lin Feng...

...

After returning last night, Lin Feng didn’t rush to continue analyzing those data. At this point, he had pretty much guessed that the mysterious person was definitely not simple. Therefore, this matter wasn’t urgent. After saving the data, Lin Feng began preparing to return home. Since he had come to Capital City, he thought he might help the Leng Family with the necessary arrangements. Leng Mei was his woman now, so it was his duty, and indeed a must-do.

With that in mind, Lin Feng started to consider the issues the Leng Family would face in the near future so he could advise them in advance. Unconsciously, he pondered through the night...

"Brother Lin, are you awake?" Leng Hao’s voice came from outside the door. It turned out that Leng Hao had woken up early in the morning and, knowing that Lin Feng and his sister might leave Capital City today, felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance. Lin Feng had completely won his admiration. Reflecting on the events that had happened since Lin Feng and his sister’s arrival in the city, Leng Hao found Lin Feng to be an incredibly amazing person. To have reached such an unfathomable level at such a young age was beyond his wildest dreams.

Moreover, he was filled with guilt. At first, when Lin Feng arrived, he had opposed Lin Feng at every turn, misled by Yuan Kun’s incorrect guidance. Now that the truth had come to light, his heart was truly uncomfortable. He had seen with his own eyes what Lin Feng and his sister were like; they were so happy and content together, which he had felt as well. Therefore, he thought he should apologize to Lin Feng before he left Tianhai. He definitely made a mistake in this matter.

With this in mind, Leng Hao had rushed to Lin Feng’s door early in the morning, asking if Lin Feng was up, wanting to speak with him alone.

"Xiao Hao, I woke up early. Come on, accompany me for a walk." Lin Feng had pretty much guessed what Leng Hao was here for, and he wanted to go for a walk as well. After coming to the Leng Residence, he had been too busy to enjoy a proper stroll. Behind the Leng Residence was a large grove of trees, which was perfect for walking, and he also intended to discuss the matters he had thought about last night with Leng Hao.

After saying that, Lin Feng walked to the door, opened it, patted Leng Hao on the shoulder, and the two of them walked side by side toward the woods behind the Leng Residence.

Leng Hao, hearing Lin Feng wanted to take a stroll, didn’t think anything else and followed him to the edge of the woods.

The morning breeze was gentle and refreshing, carrying the aroma of earth and leaves, delighting the senses. But Leng Hao’s heart was devoid of these pleasures; he was only thinking about how to apologize to Lin Feng. Even though he had planned it carefully, he found it hard to voice his thoughts when the moment came...

"Brother Lin, I am truly... truly sorry." After much deliberation, Leng Hao finally said it. The words weighed heavy on his heart, like a boulder pressing down, and he couldn’t rest until he had expressed them. Finally, he gathered his courage to say the sentence he had struggled with for so long. He had never apologized to anyone in his life; this was a first. He had a deep and complete admiration for Lin Feng; otherwise, he would never have uttered an apology.

"Xiao Hao, there’s really no need with me. I’ve never treated you as an outsider, and I’ve never held anything against you. You know that." Lin Feng replied calmly. Since coming to the Leng Residence, he had gathered a basic understanding of what kind of person Leng Hao was from Leng Mei and Leng Hui. Essentially a good kid, but his upbringing made him somewhat extreme. It wasn’t that Leng Hao was bad, more like he had a typical youthful rebellious streak. With the right guidance, he could certainly become a fine individual.

"Brother Lin, I knew you would say that." Hearing Lin Feng speak like this made the metaphorical stone in Leng Hao’s heart finally land. He felt much lighter instantly. In the past, his ’dictionary’ did not contain the words ’I’m sorry,’ but he had changed for Lin Feng; he felt Lin Feng deserved his apology.

"Xiao Hao, you’re an adult now, so stop acting like a child. Your parents and grandparents have always wanted what’s best for you. It’s just that your parents are busy with work, which is why you’ve been with your grandfather. And your grandfather’s stricter demands are for your own good; you should know that." Lin Feng’s words revealed a hint of concern. Before leaving Capital City, he wanted to set Leng Hao’s thinking straight so that the Leng Family could live harmoniously.
