"I was relatively mature for my age, even compared to other girls my age. At first, it was fine; I didn't think that Song Xin, such a little brat, had any ulterior motives. But later, when I was taking a shower, I always felt like someone was watching me from outside." Song Qi continued without teasing Lin Feng.
"Haha... so the peeping Tom was Song Xin?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes, it was him. I suspected it was him right away. Later, I pretended to go take a shower but only closed the door slightly. I waited outside for him to come, and sure enough, it was Song Xin peeking from outside." As Song Qi spoke, her voice turned icy.
"I caught him and brought him before Song Lie, telling him what a scoundrel his son was. Song Lie was furious—at least that's how it appeared on the surface. But later, perhaps because Song Xin's mother whispered in his ear, Song Xin didn't face any punishment. In the end, I was left helpless after hearing Song Lie say something like 'Don't hold it against your younger brother,' realizing that Song Xin was much more important to Song Lie than I was." Song Qi seemed lost in her memories while Lin Feng quietly listened as a good audience, knowing he didn't need to say much.
"And then? Did you start thinking about getting revenge on the Song Family?" Hearing this, Lin Feng cursed Song Xin as a scumbag in his heart while also feeling intrigued to learn more about Song Qi's story.
"At that time, I really disliked the people of the Song Family, but I couldn't say I hated them. How old was I back then? Even if I was mature for my age, I couldn't be as mature as I am now." Song Qi forced a smile at Lin Feng, responding.
"If I'm not mistaken, did something even worse happen next?" At this moment, Lin Feng had his own guess about the continuation of the story and asked.
"Well, just as you think, a few years later, after Song Xin had matured, he watched some adult films and set his sights on me. One time when no one was home, he tried to... he tried to..." Song Qi glanced at Lin Feng, continuing her words. Despite trying to remain calm, she couldn't help but break down halfway through and collapsed into Lin Feng's arms, crying softly.
With her soft body in his embrace, Lin Feng felt no desire stirring within him. Regardless of how scheming Song Qi might be as a woman, at this moment, he could only see her as a fragile girl confiding in someone she felt she could trust.
Trustworthy? Lin Feng couldn't help but question himself: Was he someone that Song Qi could trust?
Perhaps at this moment, yes! That was Lin Feng's final answer.
He remained silent; at this moment, the sound of Song Qi's sobbing reminded him of his sister—more precisely, his foster mother's biological daughter. He remembered how she would always cry in his arms whenever she felt wronged during their childhood. Back then, he felt a sense of accomplishment because he knew he was someone she considered trustworthy and protective.
Thinking of this made Lin Feng feel that once everything here settled down, he should find an opportunity to go home; after all, the New Year was approaching.
He missed home. Since being reborn into this life, he hadn't returned home yet. He longed for the home-cooked meals prepared by his foster mother and for that little girl who often clung to him.
In his memories from his previous life when he hadn't gone home for a long time, his sister had grown into a beautiful young woman. He wondered if she was busy helping their foster mother with chores or focusing on her studies now.
After being reborn, Lin Feng had already called home to say that he had found a good part-time job and that he no longer needed to have money sent to him. He thought that Foster Mother would not have to work so hard anymore.
Lin Feng also wanted to send some money to Foster Mother so she wouldn’t have to continue exhausting herself, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. Foster Mother was an honest person, and if he sent her money out of the blue, she would worry about what wrong he might have done.
Even if he wanted to leave something for home, Lin Feng felt it would be better to wait until he returned home for the New Year to bring it back. At least then, face-to-face, Foster Mother could hear his explanations and feel more at ease.
Having thought this much, Song Qi had cried enough. At this moment, perhaps feeling shy, she remained in Lin Feng's arms without getting up.
Seeing Song Qi like this, Lin Feng shook his head and chuckled. If there hadn’t been so much hatred and if Song Qi were Song Xin’s biological sister, she should have been a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, perhaps even dating a handsome guy at this moment instead of feeling so heartbroken.
"I say, Miss Song, while it's warm in my arms, you can't just keep clinging on like this," Lin Feng teased.
"Who’s clinging?" Song Qi blushed slightly upon realizing Lin Feng was teasing her and got up from his embrace.
"Haha... as long as that's not the case," Lin Feng said with a smile as Song Qi stood up, deciding not to tease her further.
In fact, Lin Feng's earlier teasing was more about easing the awkward atmosphere; he knew that Song Qi understood his intentions.
"Thank you," Song Qi quickly recognized Lin Feng's thoughtfulness and expressed her gratitude.
"Haha... and thank you for your trust." Talking with a smart woman was effortless for Lin Feng.
"Alright, now let's get down to business. What are your plans moving forward?" Song Qi asked after wiping her eyes with a tissue.
This woman could easily switch between emotions; just moments ago she seemed fragile, but now she transformed into a strong woman. However, Lin Feng believed that in such an environment, if Song Qi didn’t possess this capability, she might not have everything she had now.
In such an environment, one could only advance or retreat. Either you sought revenge or you obediently let others manipulate you; there was no middle ground.
"I'm still very interested. How did you deal with Song Xin? You’re not planning to endure humiliation and become Song Xin's secret lover, are you?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask this question after hearing Song Qi's narrative—something most men would likely ask.
"Haha... what do you think?" Song Qi asked with a smile at that moment.
"If I knew, I wouldn't need to ask you," Lin Feng replied, unable to determine whether Song Qi was going to speak or remain silent.
"I'll tell you this: in front of scum like Song Xin, once you show weakness, he will definitely take advantage of it. Besides, I, Song Qi, haven't reached the point where I need to sacrifice my own body to deal with Song Xin. With someone like him, does he even deserve it?" For some reason, Song Qi ultimately revealed what Lin Feng wanted to know.
"I knew it!" Lin Feng felt quite satisfied with Song Qi's answer and sighed.
Regardless of the reason, men generally cannot stand to hear women talk about how they became another man's woman, especially when that woman is a disaster for the country.
I don't know why men have this mentality; perhaps it's just the petty nature that lurks within them.
In certain aspects, men can be quite petty creatures.
"What's wrong? Are you lamenting that good cabbage hasn't been ravaged by pigs?" Song Qi looked at Lin Feng with interest and suddenly blurted out this remark.
"Maybe," Lin Feng thought this way but couldn't say it outright; he only responded ambiguously.
"Work hard; who knows, you might become the pig that ravages the good cabbage. I think you're not bad," Song Qi returned to her playful self, teasing Lin Feng again. Her captivating face at that moment could definitely lead one’s thoughts astray.
Lin Feng was left speechless but understood that this indicated Song Qi had at least returned to her usual self on the surface.
"Alright, let's get down to business. What do you want to do next?" Lin Feng could only change the subject since he had already learned what he wanted to know.
"Haha... whenever Feng Shao needs to act, just let me know. Haven't I always been your supporting role?" Song Qi smiled, but her words were laced with sarcasm.
"Haha... telling you what I'm going to do is pointless, isn't it?" Lin Feng did not deny this point.
"Still as domineering as ever. That's fine; after all, I'm just gathering information. I'll admit that in those back-and-forth situations, I'm not as strong as you," Song Qi sensed Lin Feng's confidence and dominance from his words. She knew that perhaps this was the reason she sought cooperation with him.
However, despite Lin Feng's abilities, Song Qi is not someone to be underestimated. She is currently assisting Lin Feng, but she knows that in the end, it might be Lin Feng who ends up assisting her.
A woman like Song Qi has never lacked ambition.
Perhaps her goals extend beyond just dealing with Song Gang; who knows?
"Well, from now on, Song Gang and I will be in full-scale conflict. I'll inform you of any developments on my end, and you should let me know about yours as soon as possible," Lin Feng stated his request clearly. In short, he wanted Song Qi to provide him with intelligence.
"That's no problem. I actually have a question for you," Song Qi readily agreed but then continued speaking.
"Mm?" Lin Feng gestured for Song Qi to go ahead.
"You've already defeated Song Wu and Song Liu. Why did you let them go? As far as I know, although they were injured, their wounds are not life-threatening. A few days of recovery and they'll be back in action," Song Qi asked.
"Heh... I have my reasons. Don't worry; if I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have let them go," Lin Feng replied confidently, but he did not disclose to Song Qi the true purpose behind his actions.
Lin Feng could control others by implanting a "Spiritual Brand" in them, but he would never reveal this to Song Qi. Not only her; even Dong Jie was kept in the dark about it.
He refrained from sharing such information with untrustworthy individuals because he feared they might do something detrimental to him. Conversely, he also withheld it from trustworthy people because he didn't want them to bear the burden of keeping secrets for him.
"Mm, as long as you're confident," Song Qi understood that Lin Feng didn't want to elaborate further and didn't press the issue. Everyone has their secrets. Besides, she didn't believe Lin Feng needed to share this with a newly partnered collaborator, even though she was a woman and he was a man.
