Lin Feng now understood why Chen Xinni wanted him not to look. For a moment, he recalled the rumors about Chen Xinni. After all, it was normal for a girl who frequently changed boyfriends to have some revealing photos of herself saved on her mobile phone.
Of course, it was normal, but Lin Feng still found it hard to accept. He had always been quite averse to girls who were so casual.
Lin Feng realized that these photos were taken by someone else for Chen Xinni. Last time, he mistakenly looked at Liu Jing's personal art photos on her USB drive, but those were clearly selfies. After seeing them, Lin Feng felt nothing but embarrassment and regret. However, the photos of Chen Xinni were likely taken by someone close to her, and Lin Feng suspected they were taken by one of her boyfriends.
You could say Lin Feng was outdated or out of touch with trends, but he still couldn't accept a girl who changed boyfriends as easily as changing clothes.
However, considering that Chen Xinni was just an ordinary friend of his, Lin Feng decided not to dwell on it. How she chose to live her life was her decision; even her father didn't seem to care much about her, so why should he bother?
"Heh... I think I'll stick with Jie Jie’s phone," Lin Feng said, naturally replacing the disappointment and awkwardness on his face with a smile as he returned the mobile phone to Chen Xinni.
Even though Lin Feng changed his expression quickly, the sensitive Chen Xinni noticed the disappointment on his face when he saw the photos. Although Lin Feng spoke politely, it was clear that he didn't want to use her mobile phone anymore. Even if she were a fool, she would know that Lin Feng had seen the photos.
At that moment, she initially didn't want to take the mobile phone from Lin Feng, but she found herself unable to resist accepting it. She opened her mouth as if to say something but hesitated, fearing that Lin Feng wouldn't believe her. For a moment, she stood there holding the mobile phone in a daze.
In fact, these photos were taken at the urging of one of Chen Xinni's close friends using her own mobile phone. Chen Xinni intended to hide these photos until she found someone special to share them with in the future. Yet now, with her ideal partner right in front of her, she ended up sharing them with Lin Feng in this way.
Lin Feng originally intended to take a few pictures for Song Xin and send them to Li Zhong for him to spread around and create some buzz. However, after seeing those photos on Chen Xinni's mobile phone, he couldn't help but think about how some young people enjoyed playing thrilling games in unconventional ways.
Especially someone like Chen Xinni, who seemed to indulge in such activities; perhaps she and her boyfriend had played some exciting games using her mobile phone. With that thought in mind, Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder if Chen Xinni's mobile phone had ever been exposed to some unknown liquid.
Once such thoughts and speculations crossed his mind, Lin Feng felt an aversion towards holding Chen Xinni's mobile phone. In the end, he chose not to use it.
At that moment, he remembered that the new mobile phone he bought for Dong Jie was also quite high-end and would have no issues with photo sharing.
Seeing Lin Feng asking for his phone, Dong Jie naturally had no objections. He took the phone out of his bag and handed it to Lin Feng.
After receiving the phone, Lin Feng sent a few photos to Song Xin and then dialed Li Zhong's number.
"Hello..." Li Zhong's voice was still as steady as ever when he answered the call.
Since Lin Feng was using Dong Jie's new phone number to call Li Zhong, Li Zhong did not realize it was Lin Feng contacting him.
"Li Zhong, it's Lin Feng. I'm now in City B, a mid-level city." Lin Feng first reassured Li Zhong, knowing that he and the others would be worried about him.
"Feng Shao? Is that you, Feng Shao? You really came back?" Hearing Lin Feng's voice made Li Zhong very excited. When he learned that Lin Feng had returned to City B, his excitement intensified, and his tone shifted from calm to enthusiastic.
Why was Li Zhong so excited? Because Lin Feng had previously said that he wouldn't return to City B unless he was confident enough, and now that Lin Feng was back, it meant he had gained the strength to protect himself and was no longer afraid of Song Gang.
"You haven't forgotten me, have you? Haha... I just arrived in City B and am having a meal now. This phone number is your Jie Jie’s." Lin Feng knew why Li Zhong was excited, feeling warm inside as he joked.
"Feng Shao is joking! My brothers from Wolf Gang and I have been looking forward to seeing you come home! It's great that you're finally back; we can finally give that bastard Song Gang some trouble." Li Zhong was clearly still excited, letting out a couple of curses in one breath.
Lin Feng knew that Li Zhong and the brothers from Wolf Gang had been waiting for this day.
"Yes, I'm back to settle scores with Song Gang. However, I happened to run into that bastard Song Xin at Restaurant, which saved me a lot of trouble. I gave him a good beating; I'll send you a picture of his pig-headed face right now." As Lin Feng spoke about beating up Song Xin, he intended to inform Li Zhong about this incident and discuss some matters he needed to handle.
"Alright, Feng Shao. I'll wait for you here." Hearing that Song Xin had already been beaten by Lin Feng made Li Zhong excited as well. Naturally, he had no objections when Lin Feng mentioned sending him a picture of Song Xin's pig-headed face.
"Okay, I'll do that. Talk later." Lin Feng said before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng retrieved several photos of Song Xin's pig head that he had just taken from Dong Jie's phone and sent them to Li Zhong via multimedia message.
Soon, the message was sent, and not long after, Li Zhong called back.
"Li Zhong, how's it going?" Lin Feng answered the call immediately.
"Not bad, it's quite satisfying. Feng Shao, if you hadn't told me that person was Song Xin, I might not have recognized him. It felt great to beat him up," Li Zhong exclaimed.
"Hehe... right now, I've got him tossed aside while we’re having a meal," Lin Feng deliberately avoided stating his purpose directly, confident that Li Zhong wouldn't let him down.
"Feng Shao, are you waiting for Song Gang's people to arrive? Where are you at the restaurant? I'll head over with Wolf King and the others right away," Li Zhong quickly figured out Lin Feng's intentions.
"Hehe... even if Song Gang is fast, they won't be that quick. In City B, a mid-level city, they don't have that many people. Even if someone comes, I'm not afraid now. You all must come, but before you do, I need you to help me with something," Lin Feng said with a smile on his face, showing no signs of fear after offending Song Gang. If he were afraid, he wouldn't have so openly dealt with Song Xin.
Lin Feng's beating of Song Xin served two purposes: one was revenge to reclaim some interest from Song Xin, and the other was strategic; he wanted to engage in a game of wits with Song Gang in this small restaurant.
This was something Lin Feng had planned when he unexpectedly encountered Song Xin. Only after preparing everything did he decide to take action.
Lin Feng was not reckless; he usually calculated his moves carefully when dealing with enemies.
Otherwise, if it were just about venting his anger on Song Xin, Lin Feng could have easily taken action against him without making it so brutal. Just damaging his manhood would likely ruin Song Xin's happiness for life.
However, Lin Feng chose not to do that. Instead, he openly confronted Song Xin because he wanted a resolution with the Song Family now that he dared to return to City B. He no longer wished to play cat-and-mouse games with them; he didn't want to play and couldn't afford to. He could deal with Song Xin in secret, but Song Gang could also secretly target Dong Jie and other important people in Lin Feng's life. If another incident like Dong Jie being kidnapped happened again, even if Lin Feng eliminated Song Xin, he would still feel it wasn't worth it.
While Song Xin was indeed Lin Feng's enemy, Dong Jie was even more important as his beloved. In Lin Feng's heart, love always outweighed hatred.
"Alright, Feng Shao, just give me your orders, and I will do my best to get it done as soon as possible," Li Zhong replied naturally without any hesitation.
"Send these photos out for me. Most importantly, Song Gang and Qian Bang must not know your identities while they find out that Song Xin has been beaten up like this and is lying in the restaurant I'm currently at. After that, you can come over and take the two women beside me away," Lin Feng instructed directly.
"Understood, Feng Shao. Should I let the Wolf Gang know about your return?" Li Zhong readily agreed. As soon as Lin Feng spoke, he understood what Lin Feng wanted to do. He then asked whether he should inform others about Lin Feng's return to City B, a mid-level city. Although he guessed that Lin Feng no longer wanted to keep it a secret, it was still better to confirm.
"Haha... No need to hide anymore. I want to make a big deal out of this. Hurry up and take care of it; I'll be waiting for you at the restaurant," Lin Feng said, not allowing Li Zhong to continue keeping it under wraps. That day, pretending to be dead to deceive Song Gang and Qian Bang was unavoidable. Now that he was an Inner Strength Expert and stronger than an average Inner Strength Expert, there was no need for him to live so humbly.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away," Li Zhong promised.
"Alright, I'm hanging up," Lin Feng said, not wanting to say anything more to Li Zhong. They could catch up later once this matter was settled; there would be plenty of time then.
"Haha... I made a call, and Li Zhong will come over shortly to take you away. Go ahead and eat for now," Lin Feng handed the phone back to Dong Jie and smiled at the two of them, though his gaze was fixed on Dong Jie.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt that Dong Jie was so perfect. A woman who had navigated through such a chaotic metropolis for so long still remained so pure. Lin Feng vowed that he would treat Dong Jie well for the rest of his life.
Chen Xinni naturally noticed Lin Feng's actions. She knew that after seeing those photos, her impression in Lin Feng's mind must have been severely damaged. She wondered whether she should explain herself regardless of whether Lin Feng believed her or not. For a moment, Chen Xinni found herself in a dilemma.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng picked up his knife and fork, starting to enjoy the Western meal in front of him while waiting for more people to gather in this Western restaurant.
A storm was brewing...
