Su Zi hugged Lin Feng for several seconds before realizing the presence of others. Embarrassed, she looked up at Xue Qingyi and Ning Aoxue, blushing slightly as she greeted them, "Qingyi, Aoxue, you’re here too..."
"You wish we weren’t..." Seeing Su Zi hugging Lin Feng so affectionately, Xue Qingyi wasn’t in a great mood. She initially wanted to say sothing cutting to mock Su Zi, but rembering Su Zi had a bit of an unhappy ordeal tonight, she held back.
Ning Aoxue felt a bit awkward, but seeing as Xue Qingyi hadn’t said anything, she was too embarrassed to speak up. Instead, she changed the subject, gently caressing Su Zi’s cheek as she asked softly, "Su Zi, are you alright... I was really worried about you... I thought Lin Feng might have..."
"Thought he didn’t care about , right?" Su Zi laughed charmingly, wrapping her arm around Ning Aoxue’s slender waist as she playfully said, "Aoxue, let tell you how Lin Feng saved just now... You have no idea, I was scared to death..."
And so, Su Zi pulled Ning Aoxue aside and started chattering about her thrilling experience of being kidnapped by Zhan Zhengguo and rescued by Lin Feng...
"On the way back, I had Xiang Wang check on Zhan Zhengguo and Xuanyuan Pavilion, and it turns out Zhan Zhengguo is indeed a lackey of the Zheng Family, the obedient kind..." Xue Qingyi and Lin Feng were sitting on the suite’s sofa, glancing at Ning Aoxue and Su Zi chatting. Xue Qingyi smiled at Lin Feng as she said, "But you just completely ruined him; a seventy-eight-year-old man with more than a dozen broken ribs, he probably won’t be of any use anymore!"
"And then?" Lin Feng took a bottle of champagne from the liquor cabinet, and with a snap of his fingers neatly broke off the neck of the bottle. He poured two glasses of champagne, placing one in front of Xue Qingyi and downing the other in one go.
"I want to tell you that you’ve created a big feud with the Zheng Family! Disabling Zhan Zhengguo not only makes things difficult for them, but it’s also a public slap in their face... I’m afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future!" Xue Qingyi took a sip of her wine, smiling gracefully as she said, "Also, Xiang Wang found so news that you probably already have a ntal preparation for..."
"Let’s hear it." Lin Feng, unfazed by the timid Zheng Family, looked at Xue Qingyi with interest, curious about the other news Xiang Wang found.
"Wang Jiasheng and Wang Liying are biological siblings..." Xue Qingyi laughed charmingly at Lin Feng, "They are both grandchildren of the forr chancellor Wang Xiaoyong, which ans today Lord Wolf King has not only antagonized the Zheng Family but also the Wang Family... Among the top five families in the Imperial City, Lord Wolf King has feuded with two. Isn’t that exciting and thrilling?"
Damn excitent... Lin Feng was a bit surprised to learn that Wang Jiasheng and Wang Liying were siblings, but then he recalled Wang Liying’s arrogant deanor on the plane and Wang Jiasheng’s presumptuous face. It really is damn biological...
"The upper echelons of the Imperial City are truly a storm brewing now..." Xue Qingyi said in a cold tone while sipping her champagne, "Su Zhenxian is retiring due to illness, but before he steps down, he’s paving the way for the Su Family, while the Wang Family is leveraging the Su Family’s network through marriage! The Zheng Family is ruthless, trying to kidnap Su Zi to force Su Zhenxian into early retirent... The Lu and Long Families haven’t made any moves yet, but I doubt they’ll quietly sit by..."
"The situation in the Imperial City is chaotic..." Lin Feng summarized simply.
"It’s downright turbulent; everyone is aiming for power, with the Su Family at the forefront, their days won’t be easy..." Xue Qingyi said calmly.
"Is there a way to resolve this?" Lin Feng asked with concern, glancing at Su Zi.
"This is a national trend, essentially irreversible. After all, the five great families are basically the foundation of China. This internal dispute of theirs is also about China’s future, and it will stabilize only after a result is reached..." Xue Qingyi shook her head, then casually added, "Unless, unless Mr. Elder Su’s condition improves, and everything returns to how it was..."
Yes, as long as Su Zhenxian’s illness is cured!
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Feng, and his heart suddenly brightened...
Ever since studying from the Supre dical Scripture and the Yin Yang Life Changing Needle, Lin Feng never thought of any illness as hopeless. Even if a terminal patient was brought before him, Lin Feng could extend their life a little with the acupuncture thod...
Perhaps, he could have a try at Su Elder’s condition?!
This wasn’t just a whim of Lin Feng, but because after hearing Su Zi describe Su Zhenxian’s symptoms, he had already ford so speculation about Su Zhenxian’s illness... If it really was as he thought, Lin Feng might truly have a way to cure Su Zhenxian!
However, this idea could only be kept in his mind for the ti being. Lin Feng knew he had little chance of seeing Su Zhenxian now, let alone the opportunity to provide treatnt.
"Oh right, Su Zi, shouldn’t you call ho to report you’re safe?" Ning Aoxue, who had been chatting with Su Zi, suddenly suggested.
Su Zi paused, recalling that Lin Feng had directly dealt with her bodyguard Aunt Hua, taking her away directly. If she didn’t call ho to report her safety, the Su Family probably wouldn’t sleep peacefully tonight...
"Okay..." Su Zi smiled shyly at Ning Aoxue, "Aoxue, can I borrow your phone to make a call? Aunt Hua took mine away..."
Ning Aoxue handed her phone directly to Su Zi.
Su Zi picked up the phone, cautiously walking to the corner of the suite, then sneakily dialed a number, glancing at Lin Feng and the others before she softly spoke into the phone.
Lin Feng didn’t eavesdrop on Su Zi’s conversation but continued chatting with Xue Qingyi.
However, after a while, Lin Feng was surprised to see Su Zi suddenly walk over to him, handing over the phone, "Lin Feng, my dad, he wants to talk to you..."
"Old Su wants to talk to ?" Lin Feng was taken aback, showing an incredulous expression. He really couldn’t figure out what Su Zhenxian would want to say to him, but out of respect for Su’s status, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate to take the phone, gently asking.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I’m Lin Feng, a classmate of Su Zi..."
On the other end of the phone, there was a mont of silence before a very tired voice ca through, "So you’re Lin Feng, huh! You’re quite bold, young man..."
