Chapter 1669 - 1668: Barbecue
Mu Yuhan nodded, "This old man really isn’t a good person. After he arrived in America, he didn’t hesitate to make derogatory comments about Huaxia!"
"I was careless!"
Ling Feng chuckled bitterly, shaking his head helplessly.
But soon, he put the matter out of his mind, looked at Catherine and asked, "How are you? Did they bully you?"
"No, everyone knows each other, they wouldn’t do anything to me," Catherine shook her head and said.
Ling Feng was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What happened exactly? I thought you were kidnapped!"
"No, they just restricted my personal freedom, not allowing me to make phone calls or leave the room, that’s all."
Catherine said, quickly asking, "How about you, what happened?"
"It’s complicated."
Ling Feng laughed, sat down, and recounted everything that had happened, including meeting the fat policeman on the road and giving him a thorough beating.
After listening, everyone was speechless.
Especially Catherine, looking at Ling Feng, she said, "I knew someone would take revenge on you, I just didn’t expect they’d use me as bait!"
"That static field was truly formidable, I was almost controlled. Luckily, Tian Lian was there!"
Ling Feng nodded and said, "Fortunately, it was a close call. I also taught them a tough lesson. You could say I had the last laugh, but they really suffered!"
"To make the American government swallow their pride, you seem to be the only one!"
Catherine chuckled bitterly and said, "But that’s not necessarily a good thing."
"Doesn’t matter. If people don’t cross me, I don’t cross them. That’s always been my principle," Ling Feng said with a smile.
Turning his head, he saw Lina staring blankly at him, so he quickly asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
"I... I don’t think I’m suitable to hear this," Lina said.
"Even though you work for Smack, I never treated you as an outsider. Don’t overthink it. Even if you report this to him, it’s alright," Ling Feng said.
Lina breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Thank you."
Ling Feng smiled back, not saying much, then turned to Catherine: "It was just a scare. Since you weren’t really frightened, I won’t give you anything to calm your nerves!"
"Why not?"
Upon hearing this, Catherine was not pleased and immediately stood up, saying, "No way, even because of you, I was under house arrest, you have to make it up to me!"
"Uh, how do you want me to make it up to you?" Ling Feng asked.
"Since it’s about calming my nerves, of course you should make me something delicious!"
Catherine thought for a moment and continued, "How about this, you cook for me yourself!"
"..."
Ling Feng was a bit speechless, but after thinking he said, "Alright then, since there’s a kitchen in the suite, I’ll cook you a meal!"
"No way, I want to eat your barbecue!" Catherine said.
"How can I grill? Surely you don’t mean to start a fire in the room?" Ling Feng asked.
"No need, we can go outside and treat it like a picnic!" Catherine said.
Ling Feng looked at her and then at Long Xiaoyu and the others, "Look at her, does she seem the least bit scared?"
Mu Yuhan laughed and said, "Miss Catherine is relaxing after the tension, it’s understandable!"
"Alright then, let’s go, let’s have a picnic!"
Ling Feng was in a good mood and thought they might as well go outdoors to relax a bit.
So the girls went back to the room to change clothes, swapping their skirts for more comfortable pants, and then they all went out.
Before heading downstairs, Ling Feng thought for a moment, stepped to the door of Chu Xing and Fu Hao’s room, and knocked on the door.
Chu Xing opened the door, looked a little dazed, and asked, "Boss, something up?"
"Take Brother Fu out for some fresh air, get ready, and wait for you downstairs!" Ling Feng said.
"Oh, okay!"
Chu Xing nodded and went back to pack up.
Taking the elevator downstairs, Ling Feng found Arthur: "Get me a minibus ready!"
"At this time of day, Mr. Ling is going out?"
It was already four in the afternoon, and Arthur was a bit puzzled, not knowing what Ling Feng was planning to do with so many people.
"We’re just going out for a stroll and maybe have a picnic. Are you interested?" Ling Feng asked.
Arthur was startled, then immediately nodded, "Of course I’m interested!"
He knew Ling Feng’s status, and after what happened today, Arthur was eager to get closer to Ling Feng!
Not to mention, the previous tip was more than enough to make one’s heart flutter.
Soon, Arthur had arranged the vehicle and driver, and both Fu Hao and Chu Xing came downstairs.
Then everyone set off, heading straight to the location Catherine mentioned.
On the way, Arthur made a special stop at a roadside convenience store to buy some ice, beer, grills, and other supplies.
The vehicle left the city, and shortly after, they arrived at an Oasis.
The sun was setting in the west, providing ample shade, the weather wasn’t too hot, and next to the grove there was a rectangular pond, with water of a jade green color.
Though it was a foreign land, the view was commonly seen, but the feeling was different.
So Ling Feng nodded and said to Catherine, "This place is indeed nice!"
"Right? I passed by here last time when I was driving and thought it was perfect for a picnic!" Catherine said with a laugh.
The vehicle stopped, and the group carried their things under the shade. Then Arthur attentively set up the grill and started getting things ready.
Ling Feng originally planned to use a campfire for grilling, but seeing this grill, he nodded with a smile, "You’re quite meticulous, this saves us the trouble of building a fire and making charcoal."
Arthur chuckled, feeling quite pleased.
Taking tables and chairs from the Space Bracelet, the others were used to it, but Arthur and Lina were dumbfounded, completely astonished.
In their eyes, Ling Feng’s magic was simply too amazing!
After a while of bustling, the grill was ready, and Ling Feng’s ingredients were all cut and skewered.
This task of barbecuing could not be replaced by others, so everyone sat down, drinking beer and waiting. Soon, the smell of meat started to fill the air.
Smelling the rich aroma, Lina couldn’t help but open her mouth, somewhat surprised, asking, "What kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"It’ll taste even better once you eat it. This is Ling Feng’s specialty!" Catherine laughed.
Seeing that Long Xiaoyu and Mu Yuhan were also smiling, unwilling to answer her question, Lina didn’t ask further.
After a while, the skewers were ready, and Ling Feng brought over a big plate, placed it on the table and said, "Start with these, I’ll keep grilling!"
"Thanks for your hard work, boss!"
Chu Xing laughed, gave a bootlick, and immediately brought skewers for Fu Hao and the ladies.
Tasting the delicious barbecue, Lina’s eyes widened, "So good!"
"Then eat more!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Everyone continued to chat and savor the food. In the distance, a few cars suddenly drove by on the highway, stopped after passing, and slowly reversed back!
