Chapter 710: Great Kindness Needs No Thanks
"So, my fiancée wants you to hold a concert at her school."
"Your fiancée is?"
"Which school?"
"My fiancée is Ding Wan’er, the president of Yingbo University. She would like you to give a concert at Yingbo."
"Oh, no problem!"
"Great, if Mr. Lin really manages to rescue my family today, let alone one, I’d agree to ten!"
"You can rest easy about tonight’s matter; it probably won’t take much time before we get news back."
"Lin Feng, I wanted to ask, could you write a few more songs for me?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, you truly are an incredibly miraculous person. Please write a few more songs for Xiao Xi!"
"No problem at all, I was just trying out to see how it would turn out. I wrote it casually. I’ll think more about it when I have some free time."
"What! The song you just wrote was improvised on the spot?"
"You wrote that kind of song casually?"
"Is there something surprising about that?"
"..."
Thanks to Lin Feng’s efforts, Su Xiaoxi and Sun Jian’s anxiety had eased, and they were able to relax. Lin Feng successfully invited Su Xiaoxi to perform at Yingbo University, and Su Xiaoxi and Sun Jian managed to persuade Lin Feng to agree to write a few more songs suitable for Su Xiaoxi. Both parties were pleased.
Lin Feng spoke casually, but in the eyes of Su Xiaoxi and Sun Jian, it was a completely different matter. The more they talked with Lin Feng, the more incredible they found him to be. If he could create such miraculous songs effortlessly, what level could he achieve if he tried his best? They almost couldn’t imagine...
While the three of them were chatting, Lin Feng’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, saw it was Zhu Tao, and immediately answered.
"Old Zhu, how did it go?" Lin Feng asked quietly. He was very confident in Zhu Tao’s ability to handle things and didn’t expect any complications.
"Young master, everything has been done as you said. Yang Guo and Ding Kun are dead, and Sun Jian’s family has been safely rescued. We’ve already sent them all back home," Zhu Tao reported quickly. With the situation now satisfactorily resolved, there was nothing left to worry about.
"Good, you and Xiao Hao head back," Lin Feng instructed upon hearing Zhu Tao, allowing him and Leng Hao to return to rest. With the night’s events concluded, their presence was no longer needed.
"Okay, young master," Zhu Tao responded and hung up, taking Leng Hao back to Songyuan Villa.
After hearing the dial tone, Lin Feng put down the phone and looked at Su Xiaoxi and Sun Jian’s expectant faces before speaking.
"The issue has been settled on that end. Yang Guo and Ding Kun are both dead, and no one poses a threat to Miss Su anymore. Boss Sun, your family has also returned home," Lin Feng said indifferently. With Zhu Tao and Leng Hao on the task, it was an easy affair.
"Lin Feng, thank you...uh-huh!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Su Xiaoxi could no longer hold back her tears and started crying. Both Yang Guo and Ding Kun were dead; this meant she was completely safe now. Lin Feng... everything was because of Lin Feng. She was able to get away from Jones Corporation’s entanglement because of him. He gave her this second chance at life. Without Lin Feng, the consequences were too frightening to imagine. She...she might really not be in this world any longer.
Overwhelmed with joy, Su Xiaoxi couldn’t find the words to express her gratitude to Lin Feng. Other than bowing deeply to him, there was nothing else she could do. She felt so relieved right now. She felt that as long as Lin Feng was with her, nothing was a problem, and he was her safest haven.
Thinking this, Su Xiaoxi really wanted to rush into Lin Feng’s arms and cry her heart out, but reason told her that Lin Feng had a fiancée, and she...she couldn’t do that. This realization tied her heart in knots. When she first learned Lin Feng had a fiancée, her heart ached. Even though she had guessed it would come to this, knowing the truth still hurt so much. Now her heart ached even more, as she deeply regretted not having met Lin Feng earlier...
"Ah! Mr. Lin, what are you saying! My family has already gone back?" When Sun Jian heard what Lin Feng said, he froze on the spot, unable to move, hardly believing his ears. It hadn’t been long since they were rescued, and now Yang Guo and Ding Kun were dead... How was that possible!
"You heard correctly, hurry back and see for yourself!" Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by Sun Jian’s reaction and urged him once more to quickly go back and soothe his family.
"Mr. Lin, I can’t thank you enough for your great kindness, I must take my leave!" After hearing Lin Feng say this again, Sun Jian realized that he hadn’t misheard, and understood that his wife, children, and parents were all at home. He should go back right away to comfort his family, but he truly didn’t know how he could repay Lin Feng for this great favor. With this in mind, Sun Jian also bowed deeply to Lin Feng and, without another thought, dashed out of the back stage and sped home.
As for Su Xiaoxi’s safety, Sun Jian wasn’t worried at all. With Lin Feng and Su Xiaoxi together, she definitely wouldn’t be in any trouble. His priority was to go home and see his family. He jumped into his car and, while driving, he dialed his home number. Hearing his wife’s voice on the other end, Sun Jian was so overjoyed that he unconsciously floored the gas pedal...
Watching Sun Jian leave, Lin Feng got up, intending to comfort Su Xiaoxi, but before he could move, his phone rang again.
"Senior sister, how’s the investigation going?" Lin Feng answered the call and asked directly, knowing that his senior sister must have some news for him.
"Junior brother, this is a bit tricky. Handling Jones Corporation alone is easy; I can take it over in half an hour. But dealing with the Jones Family behind it is not as simple. The family’s main businesses are diamonds and gold mines, and they’re mostly based in Africa. We can’t solve this just through the internet."
Chu Meng didn’t waste words and directly reported the situation. She hadn’t expected this outcome. If it had been only a public company, they could have handled it via the stock market, but for such brick-and-mortar industries that are out of the reach of the internet, they had no solution.
"That’s simple, let’s talk about it later." Lin Feng hung up the phone, having not expected this situation, but he wasn’t too concerned about industries. Some things just needed planning to solve, and they could discuss it with his senior sister later.
Approaching Su Xiaoxi, Lin Feng comforted her, and once her emotions settled down a bit, with most of the issues resolved, Lin Feng noticed something else—that Lin Jie had not yet arrived. His heart immediately grew anxious. By all means, Lin Jie should have arrived earlier. It shouldn’t take this long in the same school. Could it be... could something have happened to Lin Jie?
With this worry, Lin Feng hastily dialed Lin Jie’s phone number.
"Xiao Jie, why haven’t you come over yet? Where are you now?" Lin Feng asked, but as soon as he was done asking, he heard a lot of noise on the other end of the line, puzzled by why it was so chaotic where Lin Jie was.
"Brother Lin Feng, I... I’m not far from the dormitory building’s entrance, I got blocked by ******, I can’t get through." Lin Jie’s voice on the phone was full of urgency. ****** hadn’t done anything to her, but with so many students being gathered there, she was desperate to reach Lin Feng but couldn’t, feeling extremely anxious.
"Alright, I’ll be there immediately, wait for me." Lin Feng, upon hearing that Lin Jie was being blocked by ******, immediately wore an unpleasant expression. He hadn’t expected ****** to be so bold as to mess with Lin Jie, something he could not forgive. With that thought, Lin Feng hung up, ready to leave backstage and help Lin Jie.
However, he was worried about leaving Su Xiaoxi alone, so he turned his head and asked her.
"I have to deal with something, it’s in the school. Do you want to come with me, or...?" Lin Feng inquired of Su Xiaoxi, who had just sent her bodyguards away, and it wouldn’t be safe for her to be alone here.
"I don’t have anything else on, so I’ll come with you to take a look." Su Xiaoxi heard Lin Feng’s phone call and knew he was going to help someone. She had nothing else to do, so she decided to accompany Lin Feng. If she were alone, she would be quite scared, feeling safer by Lin Feng’s side. With this thought, she didn’t hesitate and immediately said she would leave with Lin Feng.
"Alright, then."
Lin Feng said this and then found a black headscarf to wrap around Su Xiaoxi’s head, leaving only her eyes uncovered, before taking Su Xiaoxi’s hand and leaving backstage. Su Xiaoxi was a public figure, and if he simply took her out into the campus like that, she would certainly be surrounded by students. Lin Feng didn’t want that to happen.
All of Lin Feng’s attention was now on Lin Jie, and he didn’t notice that this act had turned Su Xiaoxi’s cheeks red. Initially, Su Xiaoxi hadn’t realized what was happening, but upon exiting backstage with Lin Feng, she became aware that he had firmly taken her hand. The touch made her heart race, something unprecedented for her, having never had such close contact with any man before...
