Meanwhile, Song Qi's Mobile Phone rang as she sped down the road. It was a subordinate's number, and Song Qi quickly answered. The current Mobile Phone communication was quite secure, unlike in the future when any call could potentially be monitored.
"Hello... this is Song Qi," she said succinctly after connecting the call. Song Qi had a rule that her subordinates could only report information after hearing her voice.
This was also to prevent others from using her Mobile Phone to extract information from her subordinates.
"Team Leader, we have received intelligence that Song Xin has been taken back to the Song Gang headquarters by Liu Jie from Thumb Peak." This intelligence team was established by Song Qi herself and was not affiliated with Song Gang, so they referred to Song Xin by name without using "Young Master."
This indicated that Song Qi had no intention of serving Song Gang when she created this intelligence team.
"What are the specifics?" Song Qi was concerned about this matter because she knew that Lin Feng should also be present.
"Lin Feng and Dong Jie fell off a cliff, and all of Song Xin's subordinates were killed. We are still investigating the details," the female voice on the other end reported seriously, sticking to the facts without mixing in any personal feelings.
"Oh, I see." Hearing this news, Song Qi was quite surprised but made an effort to suppress her emotions and replied calmly before hanging up.
Although she was shocked, Song Qi wouldn't ask questions like "Are you sure?" She knew that the intelligence reported by her subordinates would be the most accurate information based on their investigation and would not be incorrect.
Lin Feng is dead? Song Qi couldn't help but slam on the brakes, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"I didn't expect that Lin Feng wouldn't make it through this." Unlike Liu Jing, who might have been devastated and in tears, Song Qi had known Lin Feng for a short time. Although there had been some flirtation, she didn't have strong feelings for him yet.
Later at the Wolf Gang headquarters, Li Zhong, Wolf King, and other leaders gathered together. They too received the news that Lin Feng and Dong Jie had fallen off a cliff. At this moment, Li Zhong finally explained to everyone why Lin Feng had gone to Thumb Peak.
Since it was an order from Lin Feng, Wolf King couldn't blame Li Zhong for not reporting it earlier. They all understood that Li Zhong was directly subordinate to Lin Feng, holding no significant position within the Wolf Gang, so they naturally had no authority to fault him.
"Here's the situation, what does everyone think?" Li Zhong laid everything out but did not mention the money that Lin Feng had instructed him about before leaving. He knew that only a short time had passed since the incident, and there were still a couple of days left before Lin Feng's deadline, so the money couldn't be touched yet.
Li Zhong's loyalty to Lin Feng was evident from this.
"To hell with it, I don't believe Feng Shao would die so easily. I'm going to Thumb Mountain to look for him myself." Upon hearing the news that Lin Feng had fallen to his death, the Steel brothers were the most skeptical and shouted.
"I also think Feng Shao can't be so short-lived. I don't believe he just died like that. I suggest we mobilize the Wolf Gang to go down to Thumb Mountain and search for him," Wolf King added.
"Lao Jiang, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions but Lao Jiang remained silent, Li Zhong asked.
"I also don't believe Feng Shao would die so young, but I don't advocate a large-scale search at Thumb Mountain because both Song Gang and Qian Gang might also send people to look for him. If they discover our people searching as well, it could lead them back to our connection with Feng Shao. As you all know, Feng Shao doesn't want his relationship with us to be publicly known," Lao Jiang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Lao Jiang's considerations make sense, but we can't just sit here doing nothing. How about this: we send someone to secretly gather intelligence, focusing on the movements of Song and Qian gangs and any news about Feng Shao. Let's wait two more days; if there's no news by then, we can mobilize our people for another search. What do you think?" Li Zhong summarized everyone's opinions and spoke up.
"Alright then, we'll wait two days and hope Feng Shao has good fortune," Wolf King agreed.
As for the Steel brothers, who were rather simple-minded, they naturally followed along without any objections since Lin Feng was absent and Wolf King and Li Zhong were in agreement.
At this moment, Lin Feng had scoured the entire forest and finally found a pile of relatively dry twigs.
Having found the twigs, Lin Feng naturally went to the cave entrance to check on Dong Jie, whom he had temporarily placed there.
The reason Lin Feng dared to leave Dong Jie here was that he knew from his mental connection with Tesla that there were no large predatory animals within five hundred miles of this area. Moreover, gathering twigs and leaves wouldn't take long, which is why he felt safe leaving Dong Jie at the cave entrance temporarily.
As for why he didn't place Dong Jie directly inside the cave, it was because although there were no animals inside, it was quite dirty. Lin Feng needed to clean it up first before Dong Jie could rest comfortably.
Seeing that Dong Jie still hadn't woken up, Lin Feng quickly set down the twigs he had gathered for survival and began cleaning up the trash inside the cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Lin Feng first took out everything from his magic ring and tossed it beside Dong Jie, including money and other items, just to temporarily clear out the magic ring.
Lin Feng temporarily cleared the Magic Ring and stepped into the cave to begin his cleaning work.
With the Magic Ring, Lin Feng was incredibly fast at cleaning. Standing there, he activated the ring, and all the trash and irrelevant items within a one-meter radius were sucked into it, even the tiniest specks of dust were not spared.
Once one area was cleaned up, Lin Feng quickly moved to another spot. Following the same method, in less than a minute, he had cleared all the garbage from the entire cave, even collecting some water stains left on the ground without hesitation.
His Magic Ring was now filled to the brim with trash, and he exited the cave.
Stepping aside, with a whoosh, Lin Feng dumped all the garbage from the ring. It felt as if the trash instantly appeared from his hands and rolled onto the ground.
This was the beauty of the Magic Ring; as long as Lin Feng willed it, anything inside would leave the ring, including any unpleasant odors that could not linger within.
What is an absolute domain? This is an absolute domain.
However, a question arose: since Lin Feng could remove water stains from the cave, why couldn't he collect the water stains on his clothes into the Magic Ring? Wouldn't that dry his clothes?
But Lin Feng had tried; it really didn't work. Otherwise, he would have dried Dong Jie's clothes long ago instead of gathering firewood.
Lin Feng had also asked Tesla about it, but that old fellow admitted he didn't know either.
Since he couldn't figure out an answer, Lin Feng came up with a plausible explanation: perhaps the water droplets on his clothes were embedded in such a way that to collect them in the Magic Ring, he would have to take the clothes along with them.
With this seemingly reasonable explanation in mind, Lin Feng began to start a fire in the cave. The cave was spacious, almost as large as a room, with a high ceiling providing ample space so that starting a fire wouldn't fill it with thick smoke.
Alright, making fire by drilling wood—this was something Lin Feng hadn't done in a long time, but he patiently continued to drill.
Just as Lin Feng was diligently working on starting a fire, Dong Jie woke up. Feeling her wet clothes clinging to her skin, she curiously walked over to see what Lin Feng was doing.
Perhaps Lin Feng was too focused on making fire or simply didn't have his guard up against Dong Jie. So when she stood right behind him, he remained unaware that she had already woken up. As for Tesla, he knew she was awake but thought it unnecessary to inform Lin Feng.
Drilling and drilling, Lin Feng's hands were sore, yet all he could see was a wisp of smoke.
It seemed that he hadn't done this kind of thing in a long time, and Lin Feng's skills had become somewhat rusty.
In his previous life as a mercenary, drilling wood to make fire was an essential survival skill. Although nowadays it was common for men to carry a lighter, there were times during missions when he had to dive underwater, and at that time he didn't have a magic ring. Once the lighter got wet, it was basically useless.
Therefore, Lin Feng's ability to create fire by drilling wood was still acceptable. By the standards of his past life, he would have already made fire by now, but unexpectedly, his skills had declined, and he still hadn't seen any flames.
"Lin Feng, what are you doing?" Dong Jie asked, not knowing what Lin Feng was up to.
"Ah, cough... Jie Jie, you're awake?" Lin Feng was startled by Dong Jie's voice. He turned around with a simple smile and asked.
"Yes, thank you for saving me." Dong Jie had fainted only after entering the water, so she naturally knew about Lin Feng's impressive rescue in mid-air.
"It's nothing, Jie Jie. Just wait a moment; I'll have fire soon. I'll make you something delicious later," Lin Feng said casually in response to Dong Jie's gratitude. There was no need for them to be formal about such things.
To be honest, after such a life-and-death experience, Lin Feng no longer had any emotional attachment to Dong Jie. It seemed their relationship had returned to what it used to be. In this particular environment, Lin Feng felt that his relationship with Dong Jie might even progress further.
After all, being alone together in one space should bring them closer.
From Lin Feng's words, Dong Jie realized that he might be trying to perform the legendary "drilling wood to make fire," so she decided not to disturb him and quietly watched from the side.
After a while, although Lin Feng's skills from his past life had declined somewhat, they hadn't completely faded away. Before long, he managed to create fire.
With fire now available, Lin Feng carefully brought it into the cave and began preparing to start a fire.
After some busy work from Lin Feng, a small fire pit was lit inside the cave. Dong Jie was also instructed by Lin Feng to sit aside and start drying her clothes.
Well, drying her outerwear was fine, but when only her inner shirt remained, Dong Jie paused her movements and looked at Lin Feng, who was also taking off his clothes, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
Lin Feng was not as particular as Dong Jie. He had already taken off his upper clothing, revealing his strong torso. After being tempered by the "Forbidden Spring," every inch of his muscles exuded incredible power, which left Dong Jie visibly stunned. She hadn't expected Lin Feng's physique to be this impressive.
Under Dong Jie's gaze, Lin Feng felt a bit embarrassed and dared not look at her, focusing instead on drying his clothes.
After a while, Lin Feng sensed that Dong Jie was still looking at him, and her gaze felt somewhat unusual. Finally, he couldn't help but turn around and saw Dong Jie’s pretty face, which seemed to be struggling with words.
Lin Feng was not foolish; he naturally understood what Dong Jie was troubled about. She still needed to dry her underwear, making it inconvenient for him to stay there.
Well, although Lin Feng didn't think he was actually in the way, he felt it would be better to avoid the situation. However, seeing the cold wind outside the cave made him uneasy.
It was important to note that not only had Dong Jie fallen into the water, but Lin Feng had also fallen in. The difference was that his physical condition was good enough to prevent the cold from invading him. But now that he had taken off his upper clothing, and since it wouldn't be quick for Dong Jie to dry her clothes, it meant he would have to stand at the cave entrance for a while. Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder if standing there for half an hour would turn him into a human popsicle.
After all, it was the dead of winter.
However, since Dong Jie needed to change clothes, Lin Feng reluctantly put on a half-dry outer garment and prepared to keep watch at the cave entrance.
“Lin Feng, wait! You don’t need to go out,” Dong Jie said upon hearing the howling wind outside. Without needing to look, she knew it must be very cold out there, and she naturally didn’t want Lin Feng to suffer from the cold.
Seeing Dong Jie stop him, Lin Feng paused as well. If she invited him to stay, he wouldn’t stubbornly insist on going out like a fool; at most, he would just stay and close his eyes.
“Lift the clothes,” Dong Jie instructed when she saw Lin Feng sit back down.
“Okay,” Lin Feng replied and lifted the clothes as instructed.
“Not like that; lift them open like this.” Seeing Lin Feng's actions, Dong Jie realized he misunderstood and guided him on how to hold them properly.
Only then did Lin Feng understand that Dong Jie wanted him to create an artificial barrier with his clothes so she could change beside him.
Feeling the touch of Dong Jie’s hand, Lin Feng's heart trembled. Although her little hand was still somewhat cold, he could still feel its softness.
"Don't put it down." With a layer of clothing blocking his view, Lin Feng couldn't see Dong Jie's expression, but he could hear her voice.
"Well, what if my hand gets tired?" At this moment, Lin Feng thought this method was quite good and it amused Dong Jie.
"Even if your hand gets tired, you have to hold on. Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore." Perhaps due to the unique situation, Dong Jie spoke playfully to Lin Feng.
"Alright." Dong Jie's words directly negated Lin Feng's plan to put his hand down under the pretext of fatigue.
Next, while Dong Jie was changing clothes, Lin Feng listened to the sounds, engaged in a mental struggle, unsure whether to put his hand down or not.
A voice in his heart urged him to quickly lower his hand so he could see Dong Jie's beauty at that moment, but another voice told Lin Feng to be a gentleman and not take advantage of the situation. It was truly a dilemma.
Woman, you've made me conflicted again, Lin Feng sighed inwardly.
However, before Lin Feng could make a decision, he suddenly heard no sound from Dong Jie. Then he heard the sound of her falling to the ground.
Oh no. Upon hearing Dong Jie fall, Lin Feng had no time for indecision; he dropped the clothing he was holding without a second thought. He knew that Dong Jie must have fainted.
But at that moment, Dong Jie was completely unclothed.
