Chapter 1515 - 1514: Compromise
Chen Guangsheng’s eyes lit up immediately, "Sure, no problem!"
"Dad, Mom, haven’t you had enough?"
Originally, Chen Hong had been expressionless, but now she couldn’t hold back any longer. She looked at her parents helplessly and said, "I can make my own decisions. Can you stop worrying unnecessarily?"
"What do you mean you can decide for yourself? Are you silly, girl? Who is Ling Feng? How can you give up such a good opportunity?" Chen Guangsheng asked.
Chen Hong’s mother was also displeased, glaring at her daughter, "Don’t say such nonsense again!"
Li Feier and Yang Guang were dumbfounded, staring blankly at them. Now they had totally become bystanders, looking back and forth between Ling Feng and Chen Hong’s family, unsure of what would happen next.
The two young girls were watching the show, while Ling Feng was overwhelmed with embarrassment.
Feeling helpless, he looked at Chen Hong, "Why don’t you just agree for now!"
"Huh?"
Everyone present froze.
Suddenly, even Chen Hong’s parents were a bit confused by his change of tone.
Li Feier and Yang Guang were even more taken aback, thinking to themselves, has this uncle lost his mind? What kind of woman does he want?
Chen Hong was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Ling Feng with a look of anger, "Stop flattering yourself, I won’t agree to be your girlfriend!"
Li Feier glanced at Yang Guang, both of them speechless.
She doesn’t fancy my uncle?
This woman is quite peculiar!
Ling Feng chuckled bitterly, looked at Chen Hong and said, "You’re overthinking it. What I meant was, you agree to join the Security Bureau first, then we can have more interactions later, putting the two elders’ minds at ease, right?"
While speaking, he kept winking at Chen Hong.
At the same time, he thought to himself, is this girl dense? Can’t she see what I mean?
After a few hints from Ling Feng, Chen Hong finally understood and nodded, then said to her parents, "Alright then, I’ll agree for now, and I’ll slowly get to know him better."
"That’s my good daughter!"
Chen Hong’s parents seemed overjoyed, like Ling Feng was already their son-in-law. They quickly said, "Hurry, prepare the food, we must entertain Mr. Ling well today!"
"Please don’t. I have important work at the bureau, so I can’t stay for dinner!"
Ling Feng quickly got up, eager to stay away from the enthusiastic couple.
Chen Guangsheng and his wife didn’t want him to leave, but Ling Feng mentioned his role as the Director of the Security Bureau and explained he had crucial national security matters to handle, leaving them nothing to say.
After leaving the house, the couple promptly asked their son to give Ling Feng a ride back to the town.
This time, Ling Feng couldn’t refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
With the two young girls in the car, as soon as it started, Ling Feng let out a big sigh of relief.
Chen Hong’s brother, a civil servant in Yinzhou City, glanced at Ling Feng and said, "Sorry, Director Ling, my parents are like this, being straightforward rural people."
"No worries, the old folks are refreshingly candid!" Ling Feng smiled wryly.
Chen Hong’s brother nodded and continued, "I know, it’s somewhat hard on you to accept my sister, so I apologize. This matter will fade with time, so please don’t mind it."
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, I understand. Let’s ease the old folks’ worries first."
No further conversation was exchanged until they returned to the town. Ling Feng and Li Feier got out of the car, and it headed back to the village.
Watching the car leave, Li Feier turned to Ling Feng, "Uncle, congratulations!"
"Enough!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes at her and turned to go upstairs.
His head had been aching earlier; now, he could finally take a break and relax.
After returning to the room upstairs, Li Feier asked, "Uncle, are we still going to see the three-tailed fox?"
"Yes, but not now. Let’s wait until Chen Hong’s parents are gone," Ling Feng said.
"Okay, we’ll wait then!"
Li Feier nodded and turned to look at her surroundings.
It was nearing noon, and remembering that they had to cook, Ling Feng took a brief rest before getting up to prepare.
Later, Lin Chen and her siblings returned and met Li Feier and Yang Guang upstairs.
After some introductions, they learned that these were Ling Feng’s close friends. Since they were cute and lovely, they quickly hit it off.
At lunchtime, Lin Chen reported that six people came to the Taoist temple in the morning, and shortly after entering, they left with two additional people and went straight to Yinzhou City.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng widened his eyes in surprise, "Why didn’t you report something this important?"
"Boss, don’t worry. Sun Rui followed them in a car, and the Security Bureau is well-prepared. If these people cause trouble, we’ll definitely arrest them. We have the capability!" Lin Chen laughed.
"But what if the Leader of the Tongtian Sect comes?" Ling Feng retorted.
Lin Chen froze, then chuckled, "Impossible, that Leader is so mysterious, he won’t show himself. I think he’s just a cowardly figure pulling strings from behind!"
Ling Feng thought that made sense and said after a pause, "If so, our task will be complicated. It might take a while to catch him!"
"No worries, as long as he dares show his face, we’ll catch him eventually!" Lin Chen laughed.
Ling Feng smiled without responding, but he thought to himself, this Leader of the Tongtian Sect is quite a match for that surnamed Hu guy. Is this going to turn into another unsolvable mystery like the one in Shennongjia?
He kept these thoughts to himself and didn’t speak them out. After lunch, as the siblings went back to their surveillance, Ling Feng checked the time and said to Li Feier and the others, "Let’s go back to Chen’s Village!"
"Uncle, do you think they can leave that early? They probably just finished lunch," Li Feier asked.
"Probably, but I think Chen Hong might urge them to leave, so they’re probably setting off by now!"
Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Let’s take the mountain path, not the road, and we’ll see if they’re still at home!"
"Alright!"
Li Feier nodded, eager to meet the three-tailed fox early.
So the three left, and after leaving the small town, they entered the woods by the road and made their way straight to Chen’s Village!
