Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 672 - 677: The First Lesson of Jianghu_1
When the ruffian named Little Qi brought Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, both unharmed, before Lin Feng, the weight that had been pressing on his heart finally lifted.
"You’re... okay, right...?" Lin Feng asked, his voice somewhat stiff, not quite daring to meet the women’s eyes.
Ning Aoxue gazed at Lin Feng, shook her head gently, and said softly, "You came faster than I expected..."
Su Zi merely shot Lin Feng a reproachful glance, a mixture of dissatisfaction and gratitude warring within her, leaving her looking quite conflicted.
Lin Feng said nothing. He stepped forward, gently took their slender hands, and said solemnly, "I’m sorry. It was my mistake. You must have been frightened..."
As Lin Feng walked back holding Ning Aoxue’s and Su Zi’s hands, he could clearly feel that both their hands were ice-cold. They must have been terrified.
"Brother Feng, what do we do now?" Long Xiaoyun, having seen Lin Feng successfully rescue Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, glanced at the two groups still in a standoff and asked, suddenly looking troubled.
"Stay close to me, don’t stray..." Lin Feng quietly instructed Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, before turning to Long Xiaoyun with a helpless look on his face.
This Long Xiaoyun, he really is a bit dense! Doesn’t he realize that Chen Ming has completely broken off with Lord Dragon, that Fan Yang is Chen Ming’s trusted subordinate, and now that he’s been caught red-handed, this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of him and legitimately reclaim the territory? But as an outsider, it wasn’t appropriate for me to say this outright.
"Call Lord Dragon. Tell him what happened tonight and let him tell you what to do..." Lin Feng said to Long Xiaoyun in a flat tone, his gaze fixed on Fan Yang.
"Oh! Brother Feng, wait a moment then!" Long Xiaoyun finally, if belatedly, nodded in agreement.
Soon, Long Xiaoyun had dialed Lord Dragon’s number. After Long Xiaoyun briefly recounted the night’s events, Lord Dragon said a few words from the other end of the line. Long Xiaoyun nodded, then handed the phone to Lin Feng, his expression quite peculiar.
"Brother Feng, my father wants to speak with you..."
This was expected. Lin Feng nodded, took Long Xiaoyun’s phone, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Dragon, it’s Lin Feng!"
"Lin Feng..." Lord Dragon’s voice sounded somewhat deep and heavy. "For tonight’s events, you owe me a favor, right?"
"Yes, Lord Dragon..." Lin Feng glanced at Long Xiaoyun and the two hundred-plus members of the Qingzi Sect behind him. If Lord Dragon hadn’t given the nod, these people wouldn’t have come to the Wanderer Night Club, nor would they have stood up for me, pressuring Fan Yang to release the girls so easily.
"I understand what you’re suggesting. You want me to seize this opportunity to eliminate Fan Yang, cutting off Chen Ming’s right-hand man, and conveniently retake the Wanderer Night Club! This would be killing two birds with one stone. However, it’s not yet time for Chen Ming and me to completely fall out!" Lord Dragon continued, "Because he has more men than I do. If things escalate, it won’t do me any good."
Lin Feng understood Long Shaotian’s meaning. The Battle Hall had many men, but the Commerce Hall in Jiangzhou and the Headquarters, though they had more territory, had fewer capable fighters. If a full-blown confrontation were to break out, the Battle Hall would certainly have the advantage, and the Commerce Hall would likely be overwhelmed and unable to look after itself!
For Long Shaotian to speak so frankly with Lin Feng about such matters clearly showed he regarded him as a true confidant.
"Then what does Lord Dragon intend?" Lin Feng had just incurred a debt to Long Shaotian, so he was now genuinely concerned about Long Shaotian’s plans and didn’t overthink it.
"You’ve already rescued them... For today, just give me some face and let’s leave it at that for now! Even if you plan to go after Fan Yang later, don’t touch him today!" Long Shaotian stated languidly. "Also, about Little Yun, I hope you can look after him a bit. I know that kid, Little Yun, doesn’t have much talent for navigating the Jianghu. I just hope he can be safe and sound. Consider this as you repaying my favor..."
Lin Feng detected a hint of dejection in Long Shaotian’s tone. A thought struck him; he recalled Wu Mei’s hasty departure due to a sudden incident. Could it be that something truly shocking was about to happen within the Qingzi Sect?
However, this was clearly not something Lin Feng could concern himself with right now...
"Okay, Lord Dragon, I promise you!" Lin Feng glanced at Long Xiaoyun and nodded in agreement.
"With your promise, I can rest easy..." With that, Long Shaotian hung up the phone directly.
Lin Feng stared blankly at the phone in his hand for a good while before coming back to his senses. He passed the phone back to Long Xiaoyun and said in a low voice, "Take your brothers and retreat..."
"What?" Long Xiaoyun looked at Lin Feng in surprise. "What did my father... say?"
"Listen to me... Lead your brothers and leave now!" Lin Feng, feeling somewhat irritated, snapped at Long Xiaoyun.
"Okay... okay... Brother Feng, I’ll listen to you!" Long Xiaoyun trusted Lin Feng completely and wasn’t bothered in the slightest by Lin Feng’s harsh tone. He fawningly walked ahead, shouting, "Brothers, tonight’s mission is complete! Let’s go grab some late-night snacks!"
Hearing Long Xiaoyun shout this, Fan Yang, who had been the most nervous, clearly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been terrified that Long Xiaoyun would do him in. Just as he himself had said earlier, without any evidence, Chen Ming couldn’t possibly stand up for him against Long Xiaoyun! This was the Jianghu: the fierce fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear those who don’t fear death...
"Little Yun, this card has one million. Consider it a small token from me personally. Take your brothers out to have some fun tonight; it’s all on my tab. If there’s anything left, withdraw it and distribute it among the brothers. Everyone worked hard tonight..." Lin Feng took a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Long Xiaoyun, and casually instructed, "The PIN is six zeros."
"Brother Feng, what do you mean by this? How can I spend your money...? I have money, and the brothers won’t mind this! You should take it back..." Long Xiaoyun, seeing Lin Feng being so courteous to him, was momentarily unaccustomed to it and quickly pushed Lin Feng’s hand away, refusing.
"Little Yun, do you remember you said before that you wanted to learn business from Xie Nan...?" Lin Feng held up the bank card and said to Long Xiaoyun with a smile, "This is the first step! Learn from it..."
"Oh... Is that so?" Only then did Long Xiaoyun somewhat dazedly take the bank card from Lin Feng. He looked at Long Jiu beside him, rather at a loss, and asked.
"Yes, Young Master Dragon," Long Jiu said to Long Xiaoyun with a smile. "Lin Feng is right. In these times, money can make even ghosts work for you; without it, you’re the one being pushed around. Money isn’t omnipotent, but without money, you absolutely can’t do anything..."
Only then did Long Xiaoyun cast a thoughtful glance at his so-called brothers behind him, a bitter smile touching his lips.
「...」
As Lin Feng led Ning Aoxue and Su Zi to the Wanderer Night Club’s parking lot, Su Zi suddenly cried out in alarm as they passed Zhou Yang’s Rolls Royce. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"AAAH! A ghost..."
Then, Su Zi threw herself into Lin Feng’s arms, hugging him tightly.
Lin Feng held Su Zi with one arm and glanced into Zhou Yang’s car. He saw that the two unlucky car thieves Zhou Yang had knocked out were regaining consciousness and slowly crawling towards the car window; they indeed looked rather terrifying.
