"What's going on? What happened?" Lin Feng was no longer interested in why Tesla only remembered this now; he just wanted to know what he had done to Xie Wanting that night.
"Hehe... full of vigor and having taken 'Forbidden Spring,' it's understandable what happened." Tesla was quite pleased to see Lin Feng's current expression. The more anxious Lin Feng became, the happier Tesla felt, so the more Lin Feng wanted to know, the less Tesla would say.
"I’m asking you what happened that night!" Lin Feng had no mood for jokes and continued to press, but his tone had turned from earlier; it was now quite unfriendly—no, it was very unfriendly.
"Hehe... if you keep this attitude, I won't tell you." Tesla was someone who preferred soft approaches over hard ones and directly countered Lin Feng's words.
"Fine, very well. I'll keep you locked up tight; don’t expect to let your Mental Power out again. I’ll make sure you never see the light of day." Lin Feng was furious at that moment, his stubbornness flaring up, and he threatened Tesla outright.
Of course, although it was a threat, all communication between Lin Feng and Tesla was through Mental Power; saying "out loud" was merely a metaphor.
"Hmph, fine. Just remember, when you're in danger, don’t come looking for me." Tesla noted that Lin Feng's temper resembled his own. So when Lin Feng threatened him, he retaliated with a counter-threat.
Anyway, it didn't matter if Tesla couldn't see everything outside; as long as Lin Feng didn't come begging for help in times of danger, it was fine.
"I knew you were unreliable." At this point, Lin Feng found himself at a loss with Tesla. His earlier threat was not just out of anger but also an attempt to appear strong enough to make Tesla reveal what he wanted.
However, it seemed this tactic clearly didn’t work on Tesla; he simply ignored Lin Feng.
"Alright, it's not impossible for me to tell you. Since you mentioned confinement earlier, I hope you can let me out occasionally to take a look around. This magic ring is so small that I'm about to go crazy." In the end, Tesla chose to compromise. Lin Feng would only grow stronger; perhaps one day he wouldn’t need Tesla anymore. Thus, Tesla had to plan for his own future.
Right now, Lin Feng might still rely on Tesla's powerful Mental Power for protection and his superb medical skills to treat those around him. But Lin Feng would grow; when the day came that he no longer needed Tesla's protection or his medical assistance for those close to him, wouldn’t that render Tesla worthless?
So, although Tesla has a bit of a bad temper, he is not someone who is out of touch with reality. Regarding Lin Feng, he is willing to help him whenever possible, and at the same time, he hopes to become friends with Lin Feng. Perhaps that would be the best outcome for both of them.
In fact, when Lin Feng becomes powerful enough, Tesla could even have Lin Feng help him reshape his body, which would truly set Tesla free.
Because only by having a body would the Ring of Power's ability to imprison him disappear, allowing Tesla to breathe fresh air outside.
"Oh, in the end, it's still about securing benefits for myself. Alright, go ahead," Lin Feng said, feeling much calmer at this point.
Tesla knew how to handle people, and Lin Feng was no fool; he decided to play along.
"That night, before you passed out, I only knew that you had gone berserk. As for what happened after that, I have no idea. However, after you fell unconscious, I know that Xie Wanting endured great pain and discomfort while changing your sheets and cleaning everything up before leaving," Tesla finally revealed the information Lin Feng wanted to know.
But as Lin Feng listened, his expression grew worse. He could already piece together what he had done that night from Tesla's words; he must have transformed into a wolf.
Moreover, hearing Tesla say that "Xie Wanting endured great pain," Lin Feng realized that it must have been Xie Wanting's first time.
What kind of situation should Lin Feng and Xie Wanting's first time have taken place in? He had many expectations in the past, but he also knew that from the moment he went berserk that night, those expectations had turned into bubbles—forever impossible to realize.
The reason was simple: Xie Wanting's first time had been taken from her under those circumstances by him.
Romance? Protection? Forget it; Lin Feng felt he had no right to discuss either term. Thinking about this made him want to slap himself twice.
Then Lin Feng recalled that shortly after that night, news came that Xie Wanting had dropped out of school. At the time, he thought it was because of Xi Tao Xin. Now he understood that Xie Wanting had dropped out simply because she didn't want to face him.
With this thought, Lin Feng's face became wet. He felt as if many things had slipped through his fingers; regret filled his entire chest as he realized he had let her down.
He felt sorry for the girl named Xie Wanting, whom he had once deeply loved.
She was the girl he loved the most, yet in the end, it was he who hurt her. This feeling was unbearable.
"By the way, after she cleaned everything up for you, she also told you that she would make you regret it," Tesla continued at that moment.
After hearing Tesla's words, Lin Feng trembled. At this moment, he truly regretted it; not only did he regret it, but he also hated himself. This might be the first thing he regretted since his rebirth.
Thinking about how Xie Wanting left her Dream University campus all alone because of this, and recalling her lonely life, Lin Feng remembered the vows he had made to her. He felt like he was going crazy.
"Lin Feng, what's wrong with you?" Song Qi had been observing Lin Feng for a while. Seeing him sitting there without saying a word, sometimes tense and sometimes regretful, she felt as if he had suddenly lost his mind. Finally unable to bear it any longer, she pushed Lin Feng and said,
"Don't say anything yet; let me make a call." Lin Feng seemed to have come back to his senses, at least that's how Song Qi felt. But the first thing the awakened Lin Feng did was to tell her to be quiet, which made her feel quite wronged. She could vaguely guess that Lin Feng's current state was mostly due to Xie Wanting.
Recalling how the misunderstanding between Lin Feng and Xie Wanting was resolved only through the information she had painstakingly gathered, Song Qi felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.
If she hadn't told Lin Feng everything, would he be acting this way towards Xie Wanting now?
Lin Feng naturally didn't know what Song Qi was thinking at that moment. Besides, even if he did know, he wouldn't want to pay attention to her. This woman was harder to deal with than her brother; who knew what schemes she had up her sleeve? Although she saved him, it was under the circumstances where her brother's men were chasing him.
This left no room for doubt in Lin Feng's mind.
So no matter how wronged Song Qi felt, Lin Feng was too preoccupied at that moment. He had already taken out his mobile phone and dialed Xie Wanting's home number.
He knew that like him at the beginning, Xie Wanting still didn't have a mobile phone. To find her, he could only reach out through her family.
Originally, Lin Feng thought he would never dial this number again, but circumstances forced him to make the call at this moment.
The phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. It wasn't until the voice of a Customer Service Representative came through his mobile phone that Lin Feng hung up. There was no choice; if he didn't hang up now, the Customer Service Representative would eventually hang up on him.
Despite hanging up, Lin Feng stubbornly continued to dial. He was eager to know about Xie Wanting's situation over the past few days. He guessed that Xie Wanting must have gone home.
The voice of the Customer Service Representative was quite sweet. Although Lin Feng wasn't in the mood to appreciate it, her voice kept coming through, which meant no one was answering.
After dialing a few more times, Lin Feng nearly threw his mobile phone in frustration; still, no one picked up on the other end.
"I have something to take care of. Thanks for today; let's contact each other later," Lin Feng thought he had no mood to discuss cooperation with Song Qi at this moment. Moreover, this woman was quite mysterious, and he felt that discussing cooperation with her in his current state of mind would quickly lead him into her trap. So, he left his number and walked away.
Song Qi wanted to say something else, but Lin Feng had already left.
Is he really just leaving like that? Song Qi felt regretful at that moment. Why did she have to mention something that mattered so much to Lin Feng? Now it seemed she had gained nothing and had even helped Lin Feng for free once again. What kind of situation was this?
However, looking at Lin Feng's departing figure, Song Qi suddenly understood. She knew that she and Lin Feng would meet again soon, and by then, Lin Feng's attitude would surely change.
As for why? The mysterious Song Qi certainly wouldn't let anyone easily know her plans.
After leaving Song Qi's residential area, Lin Feng casually hailed a taxi and then called He Ting.
His car was still with He Ting, and he urgently wanted to go to Xie Wanting's house to see what had happened since he couldn't even get through on the phone. Besides, he was genuinely worried about the situation with He Ting as well.
Thinking of this made Lin Feng feel a bit overwhelmed. The situation with Song Xin hadn't been resolved yet, and there was always a chance someone could harm him or those around him. Now he also needed to go to Xie Wanting's house to gather information; he felt like he was being pulled in too many directions at once.
"Hey, Lin Feng, are you okay?" The call connected quickly, and He Ting spoke first. Although Lin Feng had said that he could only talk after hearing his voice, He Ting was too anxious at the moment. Besides, asking just this one question wouldn't reveal much.
"I'm fine, I'm safe now. What about you and Xiao Na?" Lin Feng replied without delay, quickly reassuring her before asking.
Even though he knew that he had drawn the attention of those pursuing him away from them and that they should be fine with a car, he still wanted to check.
"We're safe too. Where are you now?" Hearing that Lin Feng was okay made Xiao Na, who was eavesdropping nearby, cheer up. He Ting, however, remained composed and continued to ask.
"I'm in the car right now, trying to find you guys." Lin Feng simply stated and then inquired about their location.
"I'm at my house, and Xiao Na is here too. Hurry over!" He Ting's tone returned to normal upon hearing that Lin Feng was looking for them.
"Huh? At your house? You mean the place you mentioned is actually your house?" Lin Feng felt quite surprised by He Ting's words. It turned out she had found such a place; no wonder she could move there so quickly without needing to prepare anything.
"Hehe... That's right. I was going to give you a little scare, but then this happened. Alright, it's not convenient to talk on the phone; hurry over. Xiao Na is worried sick." He Ting chuckled proudly before saying.
"That's not true! Sister He Ting is also very worried. Just now, she was holding her phone waiting for news," Lin Feng still heard Xiao Na's words even though He Ting quickly hung up the call.
