Chapter 1064: Farmstead
Chapter 1064: Farmstead
Ling Feng understood immediately upon hearing this.
This was something Chen Yan and the others could not decide on their own, so they had sent Duan Feihong to seek his decision.
In his heart, Ling Feng was somewhat reluctant because the more Duan Feihong ventured out, the more likely he would encounter danger; it would be best for him to stay in the hotel.
However, he couldn’t just ignore the situation when it arose. He could disregard the Wu Family, but it was hard to dismiss the elders of the Duan Family.
So, after some thought, he could only helplessly say, "Alright then, since Chen Yan and the others have already accompanied you last night, it doesn’t seem quite appropriate for them to visit that old Mr. Wu again. I’ll go with you instead!"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ling," Duan Feihong greeted him with a bright smile, his gratitude evident.
"We’re practically family because of our connection with old Master Chu; let’s not stand on ceremony in the future."
Ling Feng said this and stepped out of the room.
Afterwards, the two of them went to say goodbye to Chen Yan and the other girls. Knowing that it wasn’t suitable for a group to go, and with Ling Feng there, there was virtually no chance of Duan Feihong getting into any danger, so the girls were very much at ease.
But before leaving, Yang Guang couldn’t resist teasing, "Uncle, it’s just the two of you this time, you better seize the opportunity yo!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng gave her a glare and then turned to leave the room.
Following that, the two went downstairs and got into the car. Out of curiosity, Duan Feihong asked, "Mr. Ling, how do you manage that invisibility ability of yours?"
"I coincidentally came across a ring in the past. It has the capability to help me become invisible, though I haven’t quite figured out how it works!" explained Ling Feng.
Duan Feihong realized, "I see, that’s quite incredible. I never knew there were such miraculous things in the world!"
"I was just like you before, knowing too little about this world. It was only later that I gradually discovered there are many things we have never seen or heard of!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
He was considering telling Duan Feihong about the Xinglong Gang, as the Wu Family could very likely be greatly related to this matter.
But after some thought, Ling Feng decided not to mention it.
Because he felt that now was not the right time.
Duan Feihong drove for a while and then got onto the third ring road, meanwhile mentioning, "Old Mr. Wu lives quite a distance away; it might take us over an hour to get there on the road."
"No problem, don’t rush; drive slowly," Ling Feng replied.
"Hmm,"
Duan Feihong nodded, focusing her gaze on the road ahead, her attention concentrated on the traffic.
After driving like this for a while, she couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Ling, do you really have a lot of girlfriends?"
"Um..."
Ling Feng was caught off guard by the question and hesitated before asking back, "Did Yang Guang tell you something?"
"No, I just heard her mention it last night, so I got a bit curious," Duan Feihong explained.
"Oh, that girl is just talking nonsense. She has never been to my house, and she doesn’t understand my situation at all!" Ling Feng responded.
Hearing this, Duan Feihong seemed to understand something and responded with a long "oh."
Seeing her reaction, Ling Feng asked with some puzzlement, "Why do you ask?"
"No reason, just curious!" Duan Feihong replied.
"Well, you’ll understand when you visit our place," Ling Feng said.
"Yes, by the way, what’s your home like?" Duan Feihong continued to inquire.
Hearing this question, Ling Feng replied with pride, "Speaking of my hometown Shiliu Village, it really is a fantastic place!"
On the subsequent journey, Ling Feng shared with Duan Feihong stories about Shiliu Village’s past and present, as well as some events that occurred around the village.
Duan Feihong listened with longing, a preliminary impression already forming in her mind, and she couldn’t help but laugh: "Hearing you talk about it, I can’t wait to visit!"
"In a while, once the airport over there is completed, you’ll be able to fly there anytime!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"That’s great, since Elder Chu is there, I might really come to visit often in the future!" Duan Feihong laughed.
As the two chatted on their way, time passed quickly. In the late morning, their car left the highway and arrived at a huge farmstead located at the foot of a mountain.
Capital City is too crowded; nowadays, officials and the wealthy like to find places in the suburbs to build houses and enjoy the rural life, far away from the urban hustle and bustle.
The farmstead before them was enveloped by green mountains and waters; the environment was simply impeccable.
The car slowly drove into the farmstead, and Duan Feihong said to Ling Feng: "You don’t need to use your Invisibility ability; just follow me in."
"Ah? Is that appropriate?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and then asked.
"There’s nothing inappropriate about it, are you worried that the Wu Family will think too much? It’s fine, last night I just met with Wu Hua for a chat, we didn’t confirm anything!" Duan Feihong said.
"That’s true, I’m just your ordinary friend, they shouldn’t be jealous!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Exactly, let’s go!"
Duan Feihong found a parking spot in the parking lot and then opened the car door.
The two got out of the car and walked across a huge plaza to the main building of the farmstead, in front of a tall three-story villa.
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler was waiting there and promptly said: "Miss Duan, you’ve arrived, please come in!"
"Butler Wu, long time no see."
Duan Feihong greeted him and entered the first floor’s hall with Ling Feng.
The drawing room was very large, with quite a number of people already sitting around on the sofas, some of whom had familiar faces; they had been at the cocktail party the previous night.
At that moment, a middle-aged woman quickly walked over and took Duan Feihong’s hand, saying: "Feihong, why have you only just arrived?"
"Mom! I came as soon as I got the news, and it takes time to travel!" Duan Feihong said.
Ling Feng glanced at the woman; the years had left their traces on her face, she must be over fifty years old.
Chu Yue was also observing Ling Feng at this time, seeing the young man well-dressed, she asked: "And who is this?"
"Let me introduce you!"
Duan Feihong smiled, then continued: "This is Ling Feng. Mom, you might not have heard his name, but he is Elder Chu’s student!"
"Huh?"
Chu Yue was taken aback, then looked at Ling Feng in amazement: "You’re that Ling Feng from Shiliu Village?"
"Yes, Auntie, hello!" Ling Feng nodded his head.
"Don’t call me auntie, by seniority, you may call me ’sister’!"
Chu Yue said, and then continued: "I’m well aware of the affairs of the Chu Family, the old master has even moved into your house, I understand the relationship between you two!"
"Well, the old master and I can be considered friends irrespective of our age gap, the old man insists on handing over the Chu Family to me, making it somewhat embarrassing for me!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"That means you have the capability!"
Chu Yue remarked, then turned to look at a middle-aged man chatting with others on the sofa: "Old Duan, please come over here for a moment!"
