"Jie Jie, I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to." Lin Feng said, noticing that Dong Jie did not oppose his actions.
"Lin Feng, the thief we caught just now is..." Dong Jie did not respond to Lin Feng's words but changed the topic to ask.
"Just a petty thief. I've already dealt with him, so you don't need to worry, Jie Jie." Lin Feng naturally wouldn't tell Dong Jie the truth and said instead.
This was also the main reason Lin Feng wanted Dong Jie to avoid knowing too much about these dark sides. Subconsciously, he didn't want her to be aware of too many details. As for how to deal with Qian Liexian, that would only be revealed tomorrow.
"Is it really just a petty thief? Lin Feng, I've done business myself and have been through a lot in society. Although I don't know why you've suddenly become so... um... mature this month, I'm not someone who is naive and unaware of the world. You don't have to hide everything from me, right?" Dong Jie felt a bit angry about being kept in the dark, but she still spoke softly to Lin Feng.
"Hehe... Jie Jie, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to hide it from you. Alright, that thief was sent by Qian Liexian because he couldn't swallow his anger over us, but it's all fine now. I'll go settle accounts with Qian Liexian tomorrow." Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Dong Jie anymore, Lin Feng decided to tell the truth.
"Lin Feng, I understand your intentions and know that your abilities are different from the old Lin Feng. However, I heard from Chen Xinni's father that although Qian Liexian is a wastrel, his father is very powerful. Are you sure you won't stir up a hornet's nest?" Dong Jie wasn't surprised by Lin Feng's thoughts but still analyzed the situation. Subconsciously, she believed that no matter how capable Lin Feng was, he couldn't be more formidable than a local tyrant who had been entrenched there for decades. She feared that Lin Feng might get into trouble.
"Hehe... I'm not looking for a fight with them; I'm just settling accounts. Besides, I'm confident that after tomorrow, if Qian Liexian's father is truly wise, he won't come after me but will send his son to apologize to us. Just wait and see." Lin Feng had already thought about how to deal with Qian Liexian and was full of confidence at this moment.
"Oh? What method do you have in mind?" Dong Jie asked again.
"Hehe... A secret can't be revealed!" Lin Feng mysteriously placed a finger on his lips, signaling Dong Jie not to ask further.
Actually telling Dong Jie wouldn't be a big deal, but Lin Feng chose not to share it for the sake of maintaining an air of mystery.
"Still hiding things from me?" Dong Jie understood Lin Feng's meaning but pretended to be angry and playfully punched him.
"Hehe... Jie Jie, why does your neck smell so good?" Lin Feng suddenly wrapped his arms around Dong Jie's fragrant shoulders and kissed her fair neck.
"Taking advantage of me! Just wait until I get back at you." Dong Jie's face turned completely red as she threw another playful punch at Lin Feng.
However, rather than punishing him, her punches felt more like a massage for Lin Feng.
"Ha ha... I'm not afraid," Lin Feng said, acting stubbornly again.
The next morning, Lin Feng woke up early. Dong Jie and Lin Feng didn't have any issues last night; at most, Lin Feng took a small advantage. As soon as it was ten o'clock, Dong Jie pushed Lin Feng to go to bed, and then she went into her own room, knowing it was morning.
Although Lin Feng felt helpless, he knew that there was no rush. Unbeknownst to him, Dong Jie had her own concerns, and he thought that good things often take time.
Even though nothing happened with Dong Jie last night, Lin Feng was still quite happy, so he got up early and started calling for breakfast.
Just as Dong Jie knew what food Lin Feng liked, Lin Feng also knew what breakfast Dong Jie preferred. Therefore, he had no pressure in ordering for her and smoothly completed the task.
Next, Lin Feng knocked on Dong Jie's door, only to find that she was already up and tidying her room.
When she said she was tidying up, it meant she was organizing her clothes and such. Lin Feng had already told her that after today, they would leave City A at the latest by tomorrow, so she got up early to pack her things.
Lin Feng approached with a sense of pride that he could finally wake up earlier than Dong Jie. He thought Dong Jie would still be asleep, and he could laugh at her while admiring the beauty of a sleeping princess waking up. However, before he could tease her about sleeping in like a pig, he saw that Dong Jie had already tidied up most of her things. Clearly, she had been awake for a while. The teasing words stuck in his throat and turned into: "Good morning, Jie."
How embarrassing! Although Lin Feng felt he had played his part well since he wasn't caught by Dong Jie in an awkward moment, he still felt a burning sensation on his face.
"I can only hope it's just an illusion," Lin Feng consoled himself.
"Yeah, good morning, Lin Feng. I'll come over later to help you organize your luggage. Although we didn't bring clothes with us, we did buy some things in City A. After breakfast, I'll help you pack. Also, shouldn't we buy a suitcase or something to carry these items? Look at this place; my clothes can only be placed on the bed. It's really inconvenient without a suitcase," Dong Jie said.
Fortunately, he wasn't caught blushing. After hearing Dong Jie's words, Lin Feng secretly felt relieved.
"Ha ha... Sure! Let's buy two when we go out later. I've already ordered breakfast; it should be here soon. I'll go wash up first," Lin Feng readily agreed. Although he had the magic ring with him, its capacity was still quite limited at the moment. He didn't dare to put unnecessary items inside; the limited space should be used for essentials.
"No need; just one will do. A single suitcase is enough for both our clothes. When we return to City B, I have a few more suitcases there; let's not waste them," the frugal Dong Jie suggested again.
"Alright, Sister Jie, you decide." Lin Feng naturally had no objections. The virtuous qualities of Dong Jie made Lin Feng feel a sense of home, which was one of the reasons he liked her.
With everything ready, Lin Feng and Dong Jie knocked on the door of Chen Xinni and her father to see if they were also prepared.
"Ah, Lin Feng is here! Come in! We are just about ready too. Lin Feng, you really are quite the hidden talent; you had quite a fruitful day yesterday." Chen Sheng had already begun to treat Lin Feng as a skilled person; after all, only someone exceptional could have performed so well the previous day. As for why Lin Feng had asked him some questions before, Chen Sheng had thought about it but didn't believe that Lin Feng was pretending not to understand, as there was no need for that.
Ultimately, Chen Sheng regarded Lin Feng as someone with high comprehension; he believed that once such a person encountered jade, they would understand everything about it. This was something Chen Sheng had heard of but had never seen for himself. If he had, he would be grateful that his daughter knew someone like Lin Feng.
Most importantly, Chen Sheng noticed that his daughter had developed feelings for Lin Feng. Previously, he had not opposed his precious daughter liking Lin Feng, and now he fully supported it. After all, Lin Feng was gaining some fame on Gambling Stone Street. If he continued to perform well, who knows, there might be another "Gambling Stone King" born. Gaining the favor of a Gambling Stone King would be something very worthwhile for Chen Sheng.
It should be noted that the reason the Qian Family behind the prodigal Qian Liexian was so impressive was because they had a "Gambling Stone King" backing them—namely, Qian Liexian's father.
This illustrates just how valuable the title "Gambling Stone King" is.
"Haha... it's just luck; Uncle Chen taught me well," Lin Feng said with a smile, genuinely modest about Chen Sheng's praise.
Moreover, without Chen Sheng's guidance, even if Lin Feng could see through the jade in Rough Stone, he would still be unable to fully utilize his abilities.
Thus, Lin Feng's words were not mere politeness but heartfelt gratitude towards Chen Sheng.
"Let's not dwell on that; it's only natural for us to help each other since we have the chance to come together in City A. Nini, are you ready?" Seeing that Lin Feng still remembered his guidance from two nights ago made Chen Sheng feel fortunate for sharing his knowledge that night and spoke politely.
"Dad, I’ve been ready for a while now. We can leave anytime." As soon as they entered, Chen Xinni pulled Dong Jie aside to whisper. Dong Jie held significant importance in Lin Feng's heart; it was essential to build a good relationship with her. So when her father asked, she immediately responded.
In fact, Chen Xinni's eagerness this morning was completely different from her previous attempts to find excuses not to go to the jade market; she had woken up early waiting for Lin Feng and them to arrive and was fully prepared at this moment.
One cannot deny the powerful influence of love!
"Alright then, Lin Feng and Miss Dong, let's head out," Chen Sheng said once everything was ready.
"Well, let's go." Lin Feng naturally had no objections and left the room with them.
This time, it wasn't Lin Feng driving; it was Chen Sheng. Lin Feng and the others chatted in the back seat, and they soon arrived at Jade Street.
Upon reaching the street corner, Lin Feng and his group got out of the car because there was a rule at Jade Street that no one was allowed to drive in, regardless of whether they had a shop inside.
Because of this, there were several parking lots at the entrance specifically for those who wanted to enter Jade Street, providing convenience for them while also making a little money. It was a win-win situation.
Lin Feng didn't need to worry about parking; in fact, even Chen Sheng merely handed the car over to the valet. There was no need for him to get involved in such matters.
"Lin Feng, where do you plan to go for a stroll now?" After parking, the four of them walked along Jade Street, and Chen Sheng asked Lin Feng.
Since Lin Feng's performance yesterday, Chen Sheng had already regarded him as someone exceptional. Although his tone wasn't overly humble, he treated Lin Feng as an equal friend, so he felt it necessary to ask Lin Feng where they should go.
"Hehe... Let's go check out the Rough Stone shop run by Qian Dazongzi and see if we can find some good jade." When Chen Sheng asked, Lin Feng took the opportunity to suggest it himself.
"Really?" Chen Sheng was somewhat surprised by Lin Feng's response.
"Hehe... Is there any doubt? Let's go." Lin Feng knew what Chen Sheng meant, but since he hadn't even told Dong Jie last night, he certainly wouldn't disclose his specific plans to Chen Sheng either. Anyway, they would soon find out what he intended to do. So, with a mysterious smile, Lin Feng took the lead and started walking.
Lin Feng's smile was somewhat enigmatic and mischievous; he recalled that in his past life as a mercenary, this was the kind of wicked grin he wore when dealing with opponents.
