Who exactly is Old Man Ning bringing to et?
His mind was filled with questions, Lin Feng racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone connected to both himself and Ning Fuxun, aside from Ning Aoxue.
However, seeing Ning Fuxun's reluctance to explain further, Lin Feng tactfully chose not to press the issue.
Ning Fuxun drove steadily, not too fast, heading slowly towards the outskirts of Jiangzhou City.
Gradually, Lin Feng found the route becoming sowhat familiar. When the car stopped in front of a large, manor-like villa, Lin Feng finally recognized it. He had been here before...
"Is this the residence of Mr. Xu Yishan?" Lin Feng asked, his tone questioning. Indeed, this was the estate villa of Xu Jing's grandfather, Xu Yishan!
Ning Fuxun showed a hint of surprise on his face, looking at Lin Feng with astonishnt. "You know Mr. Xu too?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu's granddaughter happens to be the counselor for Aoxue's and my class..." Lin Feng stated calmly.
"Ah, what a coincidence..." Ning Fuxun said with a wry smile. "No wonder then! But the person I'm taking you to et is soone else. Let's get out of the car..."
Lin Feng got out of the car and followed Ning Fuxun towards the villa.
"Who goes there?" Two security guards in black suits, their hands near their waists, stepped out from the shadows and asked in deep voices.
"It's ..." Ning Fuxun replied succinctly.
"Ah, it's Mr. Ning, our apologies..." Once the guards recognized Ning Fuxun, their vigilant expressions instantly relaxed, and they apologized in low voices.
Lin Feng calmly observed the slight bulges at their waists; they were clearly carrying handguns.
As expected of soone who navigates the underworld, this forr Hong Sect Gang Leader... even his gatekeeping security guards carry real firearms. Truly ostentatious...
"Is Old Xu asleep yet?" Ning Fuxun asked.
"Just now, Old Xu was eting with Mr. Bai in the living room on the second floor. The lights are still on, so he should still be awake..." one of the more alert-looking guards replied, glancing up at the villa's upper floor.
"Then take directly to the second floor!" Ning Fuxun ordered casually.
"Certainly! Mr. Ning, this way, please..." The quick-witted bodyguard led the way, guiding Ning Fuxun and Lin Feng into the villa and up to the second floor. The bodyguard knocked lightly on the slightly ajar living room door and announced, "Old Xu, Mr. Ning is here."
"Young Ning is here? Haha, he must have been bullied, right? Let him co straight in..." Xu Yishan's resonant voice ca from the living room.
Ning Fuxun pushed the door open, a sowhat awkward expression on his face, and chuckled dryly. "Gang Leader Xu, you are indeed as perceptive as a god..."
Lin Feng followed Ning Fuxun inside. He saw tea utensils arranged in the living room. Xu Yishan, ancient and venerable, was lounging on a comfortable, plush reclining chair, holding a cinnabar teacup. His eyes, glinting sharply, were half-closed as he watched Ning Fuxun with great interest, a smile on his wizened face that couldn't quite be called benevolent. To Xu Yishan's right sat a middle-aged man in a dark blue Tang suit, sipping tea with a smile. This man was none other than Bai Yuanshan, Gang Leader of the Hong Sect, whom Lin Feng had t once on the Treasure Ship.
And the one preparing tea for the two Hong Sect giants was an exceptionally slender woman. She was slightly bowed, revealing an extrely graceful figure... When she glanced up at the visitors, her expression was still calm and composed upon seeing Ning Fuxun, but when she suddenly spotted Lin Feng, her exceptionally beautiful face instantly showed deep surprise...
"Lin Feng, how did you get here...?"
It turned out this woman was none other than Xu Jing, the counselor Lin Feng had just ntioned.
"Teacher Xu... so late, and you're here too!" Lin Feng greeted her, sowhat surprised himself. He hadn't expected Xu Jing to be at her grandfather's house so late at night.
Hearing Xu Jing's greeting, Bai Yuanshan and Xu Yishan also noticed Lin Feng. The two exchanged a peculiar glance, then, in unison, a knowing smile appeared on their faces.
"It truly is 'fate brings people together, even if they are a thousand miles apart'..." Xu Yishan chuckled. "Little Jing was saying today that she encountered an unexpected happy event at school and specially ca over tonight to share it with this old man of hers. I was just thinking, I'm an old fossil, half-buried in the earth, how could I understand the things young people talk about! Unexpectedly, Lin Feng, you've co over with Young Ning. Hey, young people's affairs, you all have more common ground! Little Jing, Lin Feng, you two chat more... Don't mind us old folks..."
After Bai Yuanshan's recounting, Xu Yishan had already acknowledged Lin Feng's capabilities and knew he had deeply captured Little Jing's affection. He had already accepted Lin Feng as a candidate for grandson-in-law, so his words were laced with the intent of matchmaking.
Xu Yishan had spoken so bluntly, how could Xu Jing not understand his thoughts? She inwardly grumbled about her grandfather playing matchmaker indiscriminately. It wasn't as if she couldn't get married off, why was he in such a hurry to push her towards Lin Feng?
But when Xu Jing rembered she had personally admitted to Xu Yishan that Lin Feng was her boyfriend, her face couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. Indeed, she had dug her own pit and buried herself...
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you spouting... We haven't even taken the first step!" Xu Jing feigned anger, glaring at Xu Yishan, and said petulantly.
"Ahem, yes, Old Xu, you're overthinking things..." Lin Feng also chid in with a smile, trying to explain. "Teacher Xu and I rely have a very pure teacher-student relationship!"
"If the first stroke hasn't been written, just write it..." Xu Yishan had a direct personality and didn't understand subtlety at all. He stared at Lin Feng and Xu Jing, chuckling, "A pure relationship can also beco impure... As long as one is willing to work hard, nothing is impossible..."
Lin Feng's face instantly beca a little awkward. This old gentleman really speaks his mind so bluntly... Lin Feng glanced at Xu Jing, his mind couldn't help but wander. Teacher Xu's mature intellect was like a fully ripened peach; to say she wasn't attractive would be a lie. Hearing Xu Yishan's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but fantasize, what exactly would count as impure...
"Grandpa, stop your nonsense..." Xu Jing found this kind of suggestive teasing hard to bear, but since it was her own grandfather speaking, she could only feign anger and complain petulantly.
"Alright, alright... I won't speak nonsense anymore..." Xu Yishan chuckled, then looked seriously at Lin Feng and said faintly, "Lin Feng, I've said my piece, good or bad! Whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you. I still have confidence in my granddaughter. If you miss this village, you won't find this shop. Think it over carefully..."
Lin Feng gave a wry smile, glanced at Xu Jing, and could only nod.
Only then did Ning Fuxun realize that Xu Yishan actually intended to recruit Lin Feng as his grandson-in-law.
This kid, he's really surprising! There are actually things I don't know about him!
"Alright, Young Ning, we've known each other for decades, I won't waste words with pleasantries. If you have sothing to say, just say it directly!" Xu Yishan finally looked Ning Fuxun properly in the eye and said faintly.
