Lin Feng arranged for Li Zhong to take Chen Xinni away. Chen Xinni realized that staying here was pointless, so she had no choice but to leave with Li Zhong, the driver.
As for the issue of Chen Xinni's car, Lin Feng could almost be considered the boss of the Chen Family now. Since her father's car was left with Lin Feng, Chen Xinni naturally had no objections.
Finally, Li Zhong managed to send Chen Xinni off, and Lin Feng sat down on the sofa in Dong Jie's room.
Reflecting on everything that had happened since Dong Jie was kidnapped by Song Xin, Lin Feng felt as if it were all predestined. It was Song Xin who forced him to pretend to be dead and escape from City B to A City, where he obtained the jade stone. The Jade Energy within the stone could be absorbed and assimilated by the spatial energy of the magic ring. In the end, Lin Feng used the spatial energy from the demon realm to enhance his cultivation and single-handedly challenged the reputation of Song Gang and Qian Bang.
Even for someone like Lin Feng, who had been reborn, all this felt somewhat surreal.
"Lin Feng, are you planning to sleep here tonight?" Dong Jie noticed Lin Feng lost in thought on the sofa. She understood that although everything had gone smoothly in recent days, Lin Feng had also been under a lot of mental strain. At this moment, her gentle nature prompted her to offer him a cup of tea.
"Yeah." Upon hearing Dong Jie's question, Lin Feng replied naturally while casting a meaningful glance at her.
Staying overnight at Dong Jie's place was not unfamiliar to Lin Feng; in fact, whether in his past life or this one, it had become a routine. However, since their trip to A City, their relationship had progressed, so when Lin Feng answered Dong Jie's question, he couldn't help but think of things he had never dared to consider before, such as sharing a bed with Dong Jie.
Ambiguity was the best way to describe Lin Feng's feelings about his relationship with Dong Jie at that moment.
Dong Jie noticed the intensity in Lin Feng's gaze but quickly regained her composure. Remembering her "husband-killing" fate, she pretended not to understand his look and said, "I'll prepare a mat for you."
Dong Jie's words were quite clear: Lin Feng could stay over, but he would have to sleep on the mat like before.
If this had been before their relationship deepened, Lin Feng might not have minded Dong Jie's arrangement. However, now he felt somewhat reluctant and said, "Isn't it too cold on the floor?"
Given Lin Feng's physique, even before this moment he wouldn't have felt cold sleeping on the floor. Now that he was an Inner Strength Expert, he certainly wouldn't feel cold either. Still, he could only express his disagreement with what he thought was a rather ridiculous reason.
Some things really shouldn't be said too directly.
"I'll add more blankets for you; I have some here," Dong Jie understood what Lin Feng meant but continued to play dumb and said.
Seeing Lin Feng, such a big man, looking so aggrieved at the moment, Dong Jie suddenly found it amusing. However, she knew she couldn't laugh; otherwise, based on her understanding of Lin Feng, he would definitely take advantage of the situation, and then she wouldn't know how to reject him.
So, Dong Jie held back her laughter and went to prepare a bed for Lin Feng.
"Alright," Dong Jie said. Since she had said this, Lin Feng could only respond reluctantly. Although he was unwilling, he knew that if he tried to surprise Dong Jie in the middle of the night, the outcome would be tragic.
Lin Feng was already quite powerful now, but out of love for Dong Jie, he dared not do anything that would upset her or that she wouldn't allow. This was his true nature and would not change with his growing strength.
The night passed without a word. Lin Feng stubbornly refrained from talking to Dong Jie and went to bed early, waking up early as well.
Now, Lin Feng wasn't too worried about Song Gang and Qian Bang causing him trouble. If all went as expected, Qian Bang and Song Gang would soon find themselves in a mess. He was now a key figure; as long as he didn't do anything excessive, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
This was essentially a matter of balance. Lin Feng's presence had already affected the equilibrium between Qian Bang and Song Gang. Now that Lin Feng was an independent figure without any gang affiliation, they wouldn't want to eliminate him. On the contrary, they would seek his support.
After all, Lin Feng had demonstrated strength at the Western Restaurant that was not just that of an ordinary Inner Strength Expert. Such a significant asset was something they wouldn't want to lose. Naturally, they would try to win him over; even if they couldn't make him their ally, at least they wanted to ensure he wouldn't become their enemy.
More importantly, Song Gang and Qian Bang were curious about how Lin Feng had made such rapid progress in just a few days. This remarkable advancement alone was enough for them to ponder.
Breaking through to become an Inner Strength Expert in just a few days seemed unrealistic. Song Gang and Qian Bang wouldn't believe that Lin Feng had only recently become an Inner Strength Expert; since this possibility was ruled out, it meant that Lin Feng must have been an Inner Strength Expert before.
A young Inner Strength Expert as capable as Lin Feng raised questions: did he have a powerful sect backing him? Or was he perhaps a scion sent out by an established sect for training?
These speculations were inevitable among the old-timers in Song Gang and Qian Bang.
After all, Liu Jie was considered one of the most outstanding young members within Song Gang and Qian Bang in terms of both cultivation and strategy. Yet Lin Feng was just over twenty years old; his cultivation and strategy could be said to surpass Liu Jie by quite a margin. What did this imply?
The intricacies of this situation were naturally something only the seasoned members of Song Gang and Qian Bang would think deeply about.
Lin Feng didn't concern himself with these matters; he only knew that his actions last night would make Song Gang and Qian Bang wary of him. However, he truly hadn't anticipated that those old-timers from Song Gang and Qian Bang would think so far ahead.
However, even if Lin Feng knew these things, he wouldn't show it. After all, it's good to have a strong backing; people believe he has powerful allies, and Lin Feng would never be arrogant enough to deny that.
Lin Feng really didn't want to think about these tangled matters. He only needed to know the outcome; as for everything else, he would deal with it as it came. Right now, Lin Feng felt completely unafraid.
He also didn't need to worry about Song Gang and Qian Bang taking Dong Jie hostage. First, it wasn't easy for them to do so right under Lin Feng's nose; second, he knew that if they pushed him too hard, both Song Gang and Qian Bang could face total annihilation.
In fact, Lin Feng only needed to find a gang to support him between Song Gang and Qian Bang. The other gang would surely suffer heavy losses and might even be wiped out.
However, this was a last resort. Since no one was forcing Lin Feng at the moment, he was more than happy to sit back and watch the two sides fight, reaping the benefits without getting involved.
Despite this, concerning Dong Jie's safety, Lin Feng felt it was best to arrange for her to leave her current residence. Otherwise, if Song Gang and Qian Bang became desperate and harmed Dong Jie, no matter how much he fought against those two gangs, it would be of no use.
So that morning, when Dong Jie was preparing to pack her things, Lin Feng stopped her.
"What's wrong, Lin Feng?" Dong Jie asked with a puzzled expression upon seeing him intervene.
"Jie Jie, don't pack just yet. I'll have Li Zhong take you somewhere else for a while. You know I completely offended Song Gang last night. Although I expect they won't take you hostage like last time, it's still safer for you not to stay here temporarily," Lin Feng decided to share some of the truth and his considerations with Dong Jie. However, he chose not to tell her about offending Qian Bang as well.
In Dong Jie's eyes, offending a gang might not seem like such a big deal.
"Lin Feng, are you in danger?" Dong Jie wasn't an inexperienced girl; she naturally thought deeper about the situation and wondered if Lin Feng might be in any danger.
Dong Jie always thought of Lin Feng's safety first when faced with problems, just as Lin Feng prioritized her safety.
Seeing the worried look on Dong Jie's face as she considered his potential danger warmed Lin Feng's heart. He walked over and embraced her tightly. He knew that this woman in his arms was the one he vowed to protect with his life—the one who had devoted all her love to him.
"Fool, how could I be in danger? As long as you're not in their hands, dealing with them will be easy for me. Do you understand? If something were to happen to you while you're with them, even if I risk my life to eliminate them, it would be useless. The only motivation I have is thinking about being able to hold you every day in the future; that's what keeps me strong," Lin Feng said passionately while holding Dong Jie close.
Dong Jie didn't say anything; she simply tightened her grip around Lin Feng. She knew there was no need for words at that moment.
The two embraced for a long time, and Dong Jie slowly pushed Lin Feng away. Suddenly, her expression turned serious, and with a playful look on her face, she said, "Who said you could hug me every day?"
Then, without paying attention to Lin Feng, Dong Jie laughed and ran off by herself; she was going to make breakfast for him.
Seeing Dong Jie act like a playful little woman in love just moments ago made Lin Feng smile. He watched as she busily prepared breakfast for him and suddenly realized that he could smell the "flavor of home" when he was with Dong Jie.
While Dong Jie was making breakfast for Lin Feng, he took the opportunity to call Li Zhong and asked him to find a suitable temporary place for Dong Jie to stay. He had only two requirements: first, it needed to be discreet so that Song Gang and Qian Bang wouldn't find her; second, it had to be comfortable so that Dong Jie wouldn't feel wronged.
Initially, Li Zhong suggested that Dong Jie stay at the Wolf Gang headquarters, but Lin Feng refused. Although there were some people at the headquarters protecting Dong Jie, it wasn't discreet enough. Lin Feng knew that to protect Dong Jie now, they had to use concealment rather than direct protection. After all, if Song Gang or Qian Bang sent an Inner Strength Expert, it wouldn't be difficult for them to access the Wolf Gang headquarters. At that point, Dong Jie would be exposed simply by being there.
Since Lin Feng said so, Li Zhong naturally began searching for a place. For the Wolf Gang, or against Song Gang or Qian Bang, it might not be useful, but they were still local experts and finding such a place would be easy for them.
This is the advantage of local experts; if they want to hide someone, ordinary people really can't find that person's whereabouts in a short time.
What Lin Feng needed was this time difference. He also knew that the conflict between Song Gang and Qian Bang would start and escalate quickly. Once it was over, Dong Jie would be safe.
After breakfast, Li Zhong informed him that he had found a place and it was ready for immediate move-in.
Lin Feng was surprised by Li Zhong's efficiency. However, being surprised aside, he believed that the sooner they moved the better. So he helped Dong Jie tidy up a bit before following her to the new place.
After all, although Li Zhong said the environment was nice and quite discreet, Lin Feng thought it would be better to go see it himself since he didn't have anything else to do at the moment.
