Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 786 - 791: Zhou Yang’s Pure Heart_1
After a hurried breakfast, Lin Feng was still wondering what to do when his phone rang.
"Brother Feng, I’ve bought the cars. Should I have them delivered to you?" Zhu Xiuyue’s voice on the phone sounded a little excited.
"You sorted it out so quickly?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. He had only asked Zhu Xiuyue to buy the cars the day before, and in less than a day, they were ready. Her efficiency was remarkably high!
"Yes! Buying three X5s at once, how could the 4S dealership not prioritize it? They even rushed to transfer vehicles from other branches overnight..." Zhu Xiuyue said, sounding quite proud.
"Then have them delivered. I’m about to head out and I don’t have a suitable car yet," Lin Feng casually instructed.
It wasn’t long before two white BMW X5s pulled up in front of Villa No. 3. Zhu Xiuyue and a young man in a BMW company uniform got out of their respective cars. Zhu Xiuyue smiled and handed several red Mao Zedong bills to the young man. After taking the car keys from him, she eagerly approached the villa, presenting the keys to Lin Feng as if offering a treasured gift.
"Here you go, Brother Feng!"
Zhu Xiuyue’s face glowed with a newfound confidence, much more pronounced than the day before. It seemed this car-buying experience had helped her gradually adapt to her current situation.
"Xiuyue, have you had breakfast yet?" Lin Feng nonchalantly took the keys from her, pointed to the fridge, and asked with a smile, "If you haven’t, there’s still bread in the fridge!"
"Um... I have..." Zhu Xiuyue couldn’t believe it. Brother Feng, who had casually tossed her twenty million yuan to manage, was having plain bread for breakfast? His meals were too simple, completely unbefitting his status! Even if he wasn’t feasting on extravagant delicacies, he should at least be dining in a private room at a five-star hotel...
"Oh... Well, that saves some then," Lin Feng nodded, unconcerned, and said with a smile.
"Heh... heh..." Zhu Xiuyue forced a laugh, then turned her attention to Xue Qingyi and Ning Aoxue. She felt she couldn’t quite keep up with Lin Feng’s way of thinking; chatting with the girls seemed much easier.
As expected, Ning Aoxue and Xue Qingyi, who had been giving each other the cold shoulder, soon started chatting and laughing once Zhu Xiuyue joined in to mediate.
"Aoxue, you’re not going out today, are you?" Lin Feng glanced at Ning Aoxue and asked casually. He was planning to go to Fenghuo Bar to check on Long Xiaoyun’s situation and discuss some details about the armed security company with Zhou Yang.
"I don’t have anything planned..." Ning Aoxue saw the car keys in Lin Feng’s hand and knew he wanted to go out. She said considerately, "If you need to go out, feel free. I’ll be fine with Xiuyue here."
Ning Aoxue didn’t mention Xue Qingyi. In fact, she knew very well that Zhu Xiuyue couldn’t guarantee her safety; Xue Qingyi was the true martial arts master. However, admitting this was a hard pill for Ning Aoxue to swallow.
Lin Feng also detected the tension in Ning Aoxue’s words. He let out a dry laugh, then gave Xue Qingyi a meaningful look, silently asking her to keep Ning Aoxue and Zhu Xiuyue company.
Xue Qingyi said nothing, merely smiling at Lin Feng and making an "OK" gesture.
Only then did Lin Feng feel at ease enough to walk out of the villa’s main door.
「Fenghuo Bar...」
When Lin Feng arrived at Fenghuo Bar in his new BMW X5, he found that the bar wasn’t open. The main door was shut tight with a ’Closed For The Day’ sign hanging on the handle. Across the street, Xie Nan’s Hotpot City was also closed, its doors firmly locked, looking as if it had never even opened for business.
"It’s quite desolate here..." Lin Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly. He got out of the car, locked it, and then walked lightly into the bar.
As soon as he pushed open the glass door, several men playing cards at a table near the entrance looked up, glanced at Lin Feng, and then all exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Feng is here!" "Brother Feng, come and sit with us!" "Brother Feng, come join the game!"
"You guys are certainly taking it easy..." Lin Feng immediately recognized the card players. They were all former subordinates of Xie Nan’s Loyalty Gang and had received dividends from him in the past, so they all recognized him and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Yeah, Brother Long has been having some minor issues recently, and Brother Nan isn’t in the mood for business, so we’re just idling around..." a quick-witted young man said to Lin Feng with a smile. "Brother Feng, want to join us for a couple of hands? We’re just playing Big Two, for small stakes, ten yuan a card..."
"Beat it. Do I look like I have that much free time?" Lin Feng joked, then continued walking deeper into the bar. "I have business with your Brother Nan. You guys carry on!"
Lin Feng walked to the innermost private room and pushed open the heavy door. He found Xie Nan, Long Xiaoyun, Zhou Yang, and Pan Lizheng all there, sitting around, smoking, drinking, and eating snacks.
"...Look, guys, don’t ask me what to do. Your Brother Zhou here has always been too lazy to use his brain. When your Brother Feng arrives, you can ask him to come up with a plan. I can’t be bothered to think..." As Lin Feng entered, Zhou Yang was saying this nonchalantly while drinking beer.
"Zhou Yang, you rascal! Not only are you not ashamed of being too lazy to think, you’re actually proud of it!" Lin Feng remarked with a helpless laugh.
Hearing Lin Feng’s voice, Zhou Yang froze for a moment, then looked up and laughed. "Haha, with you here, Boss, why would I need to use my brain? Anyway, every plan I ever come up with just gets shot down by you in the end. I might as well not bother saying anything..."
Zhou Yang was referring to his time in the White Wolf Squad. Sometimes, during meetings to discuss operational plans, if Lin Feng was absent or deliberately testing them, he would have the core team members devise the plans. On those occasions, Zhou Yang’s gung-ho strategies would invariably be harshly criticized by Lin Feng and then vetoed.
Back then, when Lin Feng vetoed Zhou Yang’s plans, aside from his deductions lacking rigor, the primary reason was that Zhou Yang’s plans weren’t devious enough, nor were they insidious enough.
As the team leader, Lin Feng deeply cherished the life of every team member. Every plan he devised back then was the epitome of deviousness: if a timed bomb could be planted, a sniper wouldn’t be used; if a sniper could be used, a remote-controlled bomb wouldn’t be chosen; if a remote-controlled bomb could do the job, they wouldn’t infiltrate; and if infiltration was possible, they would never launch a frontal assault.
Zhou Yang’s plans, on the other hand, were always one-track-minded: provide covering fire and push forward directly, relying on superior firepower to eliminate the enemy.
"Heh heh..." Recalling how Zhou Yang’s suggestions used to be shot down, Lin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle. "Zhou Yang, after all these years, even if you’re a slow learner, you must have picked up a thing or two by now!"
"No, absolutely not..." Zhou Yang shook his head at Lin Feng with great determination. "How could someone as upright as I am let your devious ideas contaminate my pure soul?"
