Look, look, a girl has cried out of excitement; this Zhu Bajie is indeed not a good person.
Would people applaud when a good person receives punishment? Would they even cry out of excitement? Of course not.
He Ting and Liu Jing gently comforted Xiao Na, while Lin Feng felt that as a big man, he didn't need any comfort. He just stood by and watched. He wanted to hug Xiao Na to offer some comfort, but with He Ting present, she probably wouldn't allow Lin Feng to do that.
He Ting would definitely interpret Lin Feng's comforting gesture as taking advantage of the situation.
After a while, Xiao Na had cried enough and was tired, so she fell asleep, just like a child.
"Lin Feng, how did you get that video?" With Xiao Na asleep, He Ting had the chance to ask how he obtained and then released that video.
"Um, I forgot," Lin Feng quickly scratched his head, indicating he was trying to recall when He Ting brought it up.
Anyone with eyes could tell what Lin Feng meant; he was just playing dumb.
He Ting didn't ask anything further but stared at Lin Feng, making him feel somewhat guilty.
However guilty Lin Feng felt, he wouldn't show it on the surface. Instead, he silently endured under He Ting's gaze; after all, if the enemy doesn't move, neither do I.
After a while, He Ting shifted her gaze away from Lin Feng. Just when Lin Feng thought the matter was settled, He Ting suddenly spoke up: "This is for Xiao Na; I won't ask anymore."
With such words, what could you possibly ask? Lin Feng internally scoffed at He Ting's tone that seemed to imply "I'll let you off this time."
"From now on, don't sneak into other people's offices at night, no matter what your reason is," He Ting suddenly said, seemingly aware of Lin Feng's thoughts.
Uh... how did she know what I was thinking? Lin Feng was surprised that He Ting knew about his actions.
He glanced at Liu Jing, who shook her head and bit her lip, indicating that she didn't know either.
Well, since Liu Jing didn't say anything, how did He Ting know? Lin Feng was still puzzled.
"It was your eyes just now that betrayed you," He Ting continued, voicing Lin Feng's inner question while looking directly at him with a strange gaze.
Uh, no way, does she really know what I'm thinking? Lin Feng was even more astonished. Could it be that He Ting's Mental Power was much stronger than his?
"Her Mental Power isn't high; it's just at an average level," Tesla replied in Lin Feng's mind.
This is crazy. It's one thing for Tesla to know what I'm thinking since I didn't block his Mental Power, but how does He Ting also know what I'm thinking?
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Lin Feng pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with an explanation, so he had to ask.
"Haha... haha..." He Ting paused for a moment after hearing Lin Feng's words and then burst into laughter, completely losing her ladylike demeanor.
To be honest, she didn't have much of a ladylike image even when she wasn't laughing so wildly.
"You, Lin Feng, you crack me up," He Ting said between fits of laughter.
"Is it really that funny?" Lin Feng didn't understand.
Liu Jing also couldn't figure out why He Ting was laughing so hard. Could it be that someone had hit her so-called 'laughing spot'? But no one had touched He Ting just now; could it be the legendary 'remote pressure point'?
Putting that aside, one really had to admire this girl's imagination. It would be such a waste if she didn't write novels on 17k with that creativity.
Finally, after He Ting finished laughing, she said, "Do you really think I understood what you were thinking, Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng was still in a daze. Not only did he not know why He Ting could read his mind, but he also didn't understand why she suddenly laughed so loudly.
But he nodded anyway.
"That's experience. I've reviewed thousands of criminals and am familiar with criminal psychology. I can guess your little thoughts easily," He Ting said, seeing that Lin Feng and Liu Jing were still confused and providing them with the answer they wanted.
Oh, so it was just a guess. Lin Feng and Liu Jing exchanged glances and asked, "Then what were you laughing at just now?"
"You couldn't even figure that out and thought I could see what you were thinking? Isn't that funny?" He Ting was taken aback and replied.
"Is it really that funny?" Lin Feng turned his head, ignoring He Ting, and asked Liu Jing instead.
"Nope!" Liu Jing cooperatively responded.
"Then why is she laughing?" Lin Feng pointed at He Ting again.
"I don't know!" Liu Jing still cooperated, shrugging her shoulders.
"I don't know either." As he spoke, Lin Feng cast a disdainful glance at He Ting and left the hospital room with Liu Jing.
Inside the room, He Ting was left in a daze after being brushed off by Lin Feng and Liu Jing together.
Once outside the room, Lin Feng and Liu Jing exchanged knowing shrugs. Those who were holding back laughter often reacted this way.
Recalling how He Ting had been stunned after hearing the duet performed by him and Liu Jing, Lin Feng finally couldn't hold back any longer and leaned against the wall, laughing.
Liu Jing wasn't in a much better state; if she were to analyze the situation with her thoughts, it would be as if they had been hit by an "invisible pressure point," specifically the "laughter point."
It might not have been that funny, but perhaps Lin Feng and the others had been holding it in for too long, which led to their explosive laughter.
In the afternoon, Lin Feng didn't attend class either. He had already called Fatty to help mark him "present," so he believed there wouldn't be any issues.
He stayed at the hospital with Xiao Na until late at night. When he and Liu Jing left, both He Ting and Xiao Na were asleep since they were patients, so no one asked Lin Feng what he was going to do.
If they hadn't been asleep, it would have been somewhat troublesome; going out late at night with a beauty like Liu Jing would inevitably lead to speculation.
Lin Feng drove himself. Ever since Amin had crashed into him last time, he generally drove himself when going out to avoid giving Song Xin and others any opportunity to take advantage of him.
Better safe than sorry; it's always good to be cautious.
It was still the Mountain Road, and by the time Lin Feng and Liu Jing arrived, it was already 1 AM.
Although it was late, the place was packed with people. Clearly, many had received the news and rushed over to see what was happening.
"The two major gangs are settling their issues through Racing," this headline was indeed quite sensational. It would be out of character for these thrill-seekers not to come and watch.
Lin Feng didn't expect this either, so he just drove his car to the temporary lounge set up by Liu Jie and decided to ask about anything later when he saw Liu Jie.
“Lin Feng, you made it!” Liu Jie greeted him warmly as he came out.
“Why are there so many people outside?” Lin Feng asked directly without any pleasantries.
“I don’t know who leaked the news. Lin Feng, are you okay with this?” Liu Jie noticed that Lin Feng seemed displeased and explained.
“It’s fine.” From Liu Jie's eyes, Lin Feng could already tell the answer; Liu Jie didn’t mind people watching.
Thinking about it, this was indeed the best opportunity for Liu Jie's gang to make a name for themselves in City B, a mid-level city. Even though there was a chance of losing, if they lost, it wouldn’t matter if more people knew about it. On the contrary, if they won, it would be a great publicity opportunity.
Perhaps it was even Liu Jie who spread the news. However, since it had already happened and people had come, Lin Feng decided not to worry about it anymore; after all, Liu Jie hadn’t promised him that no one could watch.
Seeing that Lin Feng seemed a bit unhappy, Liu Jie didn’t know what to say. Although he hadn’t sent anyone to spread the news, he also hadn’t stopped others from doing so. Just as Lin Feng thought, Liu Jie believed this was the best chance for his gang to establish a reputation in City B, a mid-level city.
Since he didn’t plan to say anything further, Lin Feng declined Liu Jie's company and went off to check out the Racing.
Anyway, if people find out, they will find out. Lin Feng knows that this kind of thing can't be hidden, nor does it need to be.
Before the match started, the referee went over some rules, just like last time. Lin Feng listened casually and then got ready to begin the competition.
Currently, the score is one win for Lin Feng. In this next round, Amin gets to choose the competition format. As long as it's fair, Lin Feng has to accept it.
As they entered the arena, both Lin Feng and Amin were met with cheers from the crowd. Although Lin Feng was a newcomer—no, a fresh face—some people had heard that he had beaten Amin in a round yesterday. Perhaps out of curiosity, they gave Lin Feng a warm round of applause.
Well, in terms of momentum and popularity, Lin Feng couldn't compare to Amin. After all, Amin was an experienced veteran in this field and seemed poised to become the next racing champion.
Of course, Lin Feng wouldn't feel discouraged by this. He didn't place much importance on popularity; what he wanted was to quietly make his fortune.
This was also why Lin Feng opposed Liu Jie spreading the news.
Neither of them was in their cars nor did they perform any friendly gestures like a handshake. Yesterday, Lin Feng didn't have much opinion about Amin; he was just an opponent in the race. But after today's events, Lin Feng looked at Amin with disdain, finding him increasingly irritating.
A handshake with him? Lin Feng feared he might lose control and crush Amin's hand.
"Alright, now let's hear how Amin wants to compete in this round," the referee finally got to the point after some delays.
"It's simple. I'll drive while my partner lies in front. Whoever's car is closer to my partner wins. Also, my partner can't change; otherwise, I won't accept losing last night," Amin clearly had prepared for this and glanced at Lin Feng as he spoke.
Isn't that just making excuses? If you can't accept losing, then that's just ridiculous.
But the damn referee agreed to Amin's request. How could this be acceptable?
Lin Feng looked at Liu Jie, wanting to see his opinion. After all, Liu Jing was his sister; could he really let her take such a risk?
Liu Jie nodded at Lin Feng, leaving him confused. Did that mean he agreed?
Just as Lin Feng was puzzled, Liu Jing appeared and said to Lin Feng, "My brother wants you to be careful. It's okay if we lose this round." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Clearly, she felt wronged by Liu Jie's decision, but she still had to go along with it.
Liu Jie's intention was clear: he wanted Liu Jing to agree to Amin's request. As for the advice about driving carefully, Lin Feng dismissed it as nonsense. If he truly wanted to protect his sister, he wouldn't let her participate in the competition at all.
The reason was simple: for the family.
Home is a warm place. But family can be cruel and full of intrigue.
This is the difference between the two: home may not be powerful, but it will always be a safe haven for family; family can be very powerful, but it often abandons its members when necessary. What gets sacrificed can be life itself or even dignity.
Seeing Liu Jing cry for the first time made Lin Feng feel uncomfortable. He walked over and magically pulled out a pack of tissues, saying, "Wipe your tears; I'm here for you."
For the first time, Lin Feng spoke to Liu Jing with such tenderness.
