"What are you feeling right now, superstar?" Bai Ling asked with a giggle as she looked at him.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I feel like we're in great danger right now."
"What danger could there be? You're a big star now—every move you make is watched by others. Who would dare to harm you?" Bai Ling seed remarkably calm.
"Do you rember the people who attacked in the courtyard of the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital the night before yesterday? I was nearly killed by them. Now there are others who want to kill ; they might even be lurking around us right now."
Bai Ling's expression turned fearful as she glanced around and said, "No way, that's terrifying. Who are these people, and why would they want to kill you? Is it for money?"
"You don't need to worry about that. It's complicated, and I can't explain it all right now. You just need to stay alert. With our disguises and the fact that we're taking the high-speed train, maybe they won't find us."
Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Bai Ling regained her composure. "Yeah, besides, this is a high-speed train station; who would dare cause trouble here?"
Ling Zhenfei just smiled without speaking. Bai Ling knew only part of the story. While it was true that they wouldn't dare to strike openly, the existence of top assassins who could make a kill look like an accident without leaving any trace was a different matter altogether. He didn't tell Bai Ling about them because he didn't want to scare her.
Everything went smoothly as they boarded the train. Since they had bought tickets in a rush, both of them ended up with ordinary ones, sitting side by side. Ling Zhenfei wore a hat and a mask to cover his face to avoid being recognized and causing any trouble.
Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling were looking at the comnts on Weibo together. The incident had beco a major sensation, and although Xiao Kunkun had already been cured, the hype wasn't likely to die down anyti soon. The highest peak of online attention was all day today, with videos and news flooded everywhere. Ling Zhenfei knew that he couldn't avoid becoming famous even if he wanted to.
Ling Zhenfei's followers had exploded to over ten million and were still increasing. The fan club of Ling Zhenfei also saw a growth of several million followers. The speed was frightening. Thinking of Lin Yi from the fan club in Provincial City, Ling Zhenfei felt he should et with him once they arrived.
In front of them sat a young couple, often whispering and looking very much in love, affectionately touching each other throughout the journey, which Ling Zhenfei found sowhat awkward.
Because Ling Zhenfei was always prepared to be on guard, he was very careful throughout the journey. However, it was quite safe, and nothing unusual happened, and the train went on smoothly to Jiangnan Province, almost reaching Provincial City.
As the train entered the outskirts of Provincial City, Ling Zhenfei made a phone call to Zheng Tingting.
Zheng Tingting answered quickly, "Superstar, what made you think to call ?"
Hearing Zheng Tingting's voice, it was clear she had seen the news online. Being a stylish woman, she would definitely have seen it.
"What superstar, doesn't the superstar also need to call you personally?"
Zheng Tingting replied with a laugh, "Are you calling for or are you asking about Chunyu?"
One cannot deny that Zheng Tingting was a very intelligent person. Her experience studying abroad, coupled with years of travel experience, had greatly broadened her horizons and sharpened her insight into situations, not to ntion questions like this.
"Exactly, I wanted to ask how Chunyu is doing. Have you been taking good care of my sister while she's been with you?"
"Don't worry, your sister is practically a princess in our ho now. If she stays a few more days, I might even lose my status here. Her leg has almost completely healed, and she can already walk around."
Ling Zhenfei was thrilled to hear that Chunyu could now get out of bed and walk. Even though the dicine he used was quite good at the ti, Chunyu's recovery speed was still astonishing.
"Great, I'm coming to Provincial City today and I plan to take Chunyu back with . It won't be long before I arrive."
When Zheng Tingting heard that Ling Zhenfei had arrived in Provincial City, she was very pleased and said, "Then wait for , I'll have soone et you at the train station entrance."
Upon arriving in Provincial City, Ling Zhenfei truly wasn't familiar with the area, so he agreed when he heard that Zheng Tingting had arranged for soone to pick him up.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei smiled and said to Bai Ling, "Now that's settled, Zheng Tingting is sending soone to pick us up."
Bai Ling was sowhat displeased and coldly said, "Not us, just you. I've already contacted my family to co pick up. You are going to the Zheng Family, right?"
Ling Zhenfei hadn't expected Bai Ling to be angry and quickly said, "Yes, I'm going to pick up my sister at the Zheng Family."
"Then you go on, I'll go ho first."
At the train station, once they got off the train, Bai Ling and Ling Zhenfei went separate ways. She said her family's car had already co to pick her up, so she didn't go with Ling Zhenfei and ran off alone.
Ling Zhenfei felt sowhat helpless as he could see that Bai Ling was upset. He didn't know what he had done to upset her, but since Bai Ling had already left, he had no choice but to walk out alone.
Wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, no one could recognize him. However, there was a problem: Ling Zhenfei didn't know who Zheng Tingting had sent to pick him up, nor did he know if that person would recognize him.
With a stomach full of questions, Ling Zhenfei walked outside. Just as he walked out of the train station exit, he saw soone standing at the door holding a big sign that read "Mr. Ling from Binyang".
Ling Zhenfei slightly smiled, surprised. It was indeed an interesting idea, this person was quite clever to not write Ling Zhenfei's na directly. Otherwise, that would have been tantamount to exposing him.
"Li Hao, did Zheng Tingting send you to pick up?" Ling Zhenfei walked up and asked.
The man, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a very steady look, examined Ling Zhenfei from head to toe as if recognizing him. He then hurriedly nodded, "You are Mr. Ling Zhenfei, right? It's truly an honor. I've co to pick you up. Let's go."
Ling Zhenfei followed the man out and got into a black Santana car. The car started and drove off into the distance.
Just after getting into the car, Ling Zhenfei received a WeChat ssage from Bai Ling. It was a selfie of her in the car, telling Ling Zhenfei that she had already boarded her car.
Before Ling Zhenfei had a chance to reply, Bai Ling followed up with, "What exactly is your relationship with that Zheng Tingting?"
Finally understanding why Bai Ling was upset, which led her to part ways with him as soon as they got off the train, Ling Zhenfei hurriedly explained, "Zheng Tingting is just a regular friend of mine."
"Really just a regular friend, and yet you head straight to her house as soon as you arrive in the city?" Clearly, Bai Ling was still sowhat skeptical.
