This matter was already a major case for the police department, and with He Ting personally making the call, it didn't take long for the Police Car to arrive, along with the Dragon Tiger Squad, fully armed and serious about the situation.
However, the Criminal had already lost the ability to act, and Lin Feng felt that such a large show of force was somewhat unnecessary.
Of course, Lin Feng believed that they had their reasons for doing so. Moreover, the bigger the operation, the more likely Song Gang would be implicated, which made Lin Feng quite pleased.
This Criminal could be said to have been captured solely by Lin Feng. He Ting did not seek credit for it and intended to report Lin Feng's contributions to the department.
But Lin Feng was indifferent to such empty accolades. When He Ting wanted to commend him, he directly refused, simply stating that he was afraid of retaliation from Song Gang behind the scenes.
He Ting thought Lin Feng made a valid point but found it difficult to take credit for his achievements. She hesitated for a moment.
"Ha ha ha... don't get too tangled up in this. If you hadn't brought me here and risked yourself, we wouldn't have been able to draw out that scumbag, right? It's a fact that you deserve credit for this, and I'm just a friend helping you out. If you want to thank me, just treat me to a meal," Lin Feng said, trying to guide He Ting. Otherwise, who knows how long this silly girl would remain conflicted.
"Well, since that's the case, I won't be polite. Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to be quite righteous," He Ting replied. Seeing that Lin Feng's reasoning made sense and not wanting him to suffer retaliation from Song Gang for helping her, she accepted his suggestion.
"That's right. I'll leave this to you then. I'm off now; keep in touch and treat me to a big meal sometime," Lin Feng said as he noticed that the situation had been brought under control and felt it was time for him to withdraw. He bid farewell to He Ting.
"Okay, I'll contact you. Goodbye." He Ting wasn't one to cling on; knowing that Lin Feng wanted to keep a low profile, she didn't stop him and just gave him a few instructions before letting him go.
After Lin Feng left, he could roughly guess how things would unfold next. He still needed to go check on Ouyang Qian at the Hospital and bring some breakfast over.
Since Aunt Qian was still a patient and her health was somewhat fragile, breakfast couldn't be taken lightly. Therefore, Lin Feng found a hotel and asked their kitchen to prepare a nutritious breakfast for him while he supervised to ensure they didn't cut corners.
Since he was making breakfast anyway, Lin Feng decided to prepare two portions. Thinking of Ouyang Qian's condition, he figured she probably hadn't slept well last night either.
With that in mind, Lin Feng quickened his pace toward the Hospital, carrying a thermal box of breakfast. He worried that if he arrived too late and Ouyang Qian and her Mom had already eaten breakfast, his carefully prepared meal would go to waste.
No matter how good the breakfast was, it wouldn't matter if they had already eaten; even the most delicious meal would be unappetizing afterward.
Finally, Lin Feng drove to the hospital and knocked on Aunt Qian's ward door.
"Ha ha... Aunt, you're awake? How are you feeling? Is your health better?" Lin Feng smiled as he entered the room, greeting Ouyang Qian and her mother.
"Yes, Lin Feng, you’re here! You were right; my mom woke up around five this morning," Ouyang Qian said, clearly happy to see Lin Feng.
"I told you not to worry," Lin Feng said confidently about his Tesla's performance.
"Qian'er, who is this young man? I don't think I've seen him before," Aunt Qian said, a bit puzzled by their conversation. However, she had a good impression of Lin Feng, smiling as she observed him. From their dialogue, she sensed that her daughter had a special relationship with him.
"Oh, Mom, look at me! I got so excited that I forgot to introduce you. This is Lin Feng. The day I received the call from the neighbor, I rushed home. By then, you had already fainted. Thanks to Lin Feng for carrying you downstairs and driving you to the hospital. He stayed until your condition stabilized before leaving. Thank you so much yesterday, Lin Feng," Ouyang Qian finally introduced Lin Feng to her mother.
"Oh, young man, thank you! By the way, are you and my daughter colleagues?" Aunt Qian seemed to misunderstand but instinctively thought that someone who could rush over so quickly after hearing about her fainting must be a colleague.
"Aunt, I..." Lin Feng was about to clarify that he wasn’t Ouyang Qian's colleague when Ouyang Qian interrupted.
"Mom, Lin Feng is our school's English teacher. He's really amazing; his English is even better than mine." For some reason, Ouyang Qian gave Lin Feng a false identity. However, one thing she said was true: with his photographic memory, Lin Feng's English was indeed quite good.
"Oh, that's impressive! Such a kind-hearted child!" Aunt Qian's smile grew even warmer upon hearing Ouyang Qian's words.
Lin Feng felt a bit confused by the praise but understood that since Ouyang Qian said it, she must have her reasons. He decided not to expose the truth and just smiled silently.
To Aunt Qian, Lin Feng seemed like a well-behaved young man.
Aunt Qian was even more pleased with Lin Feng; in her eyes, it felt as if she regarded him as a son-in-law.
"By the way, Aunt, this is breakfast I specially prepared for you. You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Knowing he couldn't dwell on whether he was Ouyang Qian's colleague any longer, Lin Feng quickly changed the subject and picked up the insulated box of breakfast.
"Oh, you thoughtful child! Come on; I'm just hungry enough to see what delicious food you've brought," Aunt Qian said. Seeing how considerate Lin Feng was in preparing breakfast for her and her daughter made her like him even more; nowadays, it's rare to find young people who are so thoughtful.
"Ha ha... it's just some nutritious and light food that's perfect for your current health condition," Lin Feng could only smile and say.
"Well, let me try... Not bad, really delicious. Qian'er, you should give it a try too; you haven't had breakfast either, right?" Aunt Qian was in a good mood now, her face slightly flushed. Not only was she enjoying the food herself, but she also encouraged Ouyang Qian to taste it.
"Mm, let me have a bite. Not bad," Ouyang Qian agreed, thinking that Lin Feng had been quite considerate. She had just been wondering whether to go home and prepare something nutritious to bring to the hospital, but unexpectedly, Lin Feng had already thought of it for her.
Next, while Lin Feng accompanied them, Aunt Qian and Ouyang Qian shared the nutritious breakfast that Lin Feng had painstakingly brought over, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
In the end, Lin Feng was invited to eat some as well. It truly was a case of getting what you pay for; Lin Feng was willing to spend money, and the hotel did not skimp on quality.
Well, breakfast was delivered and finished. Suddenly, Aunt Qian said she was tired and wanted to rest. She suggested that Lin Feng and Ouyang Qian take a walk together. Aunt Qian was clearly trying to create an opportunity for the two young people. Lin Feng noticed this.
However, Lin Feng actually had something he wanted to ask Ouyang Qian about, so he agreed to leave.
Ouyang Qian knew what Lin Feng's question was about and followed him outside. To Aunt Qian, it seemed like the two of them had reached a certain level of understanding; they were in sync with each other.
"This is good!" Aunt Qian murmured to herself before peacefully closing her eyes.
Once outside the ward, Lin Feng was contemplating how to approach Ouyang Qian. Asking directly seemed a bit accusatory, but if he didn't ask directly, it felt like he wouldn't get a clear answer.
"Are you questioning me about pretending to be my boyfriend?" Ouyang Qian asked directly, resolving Lin Feng's hesitation.
"Yes," Lin Feng replied. Since Ouyang Qian had spoken up first, he decided not to hesitate any longer. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to linger in doubt when she had already brought it up.
"Hehe... This matter was my own decision; I didn't inform you beforehand before saying it. However, I do have my reasons," Ouyang Qian explained.
As she spoke, Ouyang Qian shared some of her past experiences with Lin Feng.
During her university years, Ouyang Qian had been in a relationship that started off quite well; they were essentially love at first sight.
However, despite her stunning beauty, Ouyang Qian was a conservative woman. She hadn't even held hands with anyone and only dreamed of a platonic romance.
Initially, the guy was very compliant with Ouyang Qian's wishes, leading her to believe he valued feelings over everything else. But eventually, he couldn't hold back anymore and attempted to kiss her forcefully. In response, Ouyang Qian slapped him hard.
At that moment, Ouyang Qian's slap ended her first love. The other party might have been holding back for a long time, and they had a big fight right there, exchanging many hurtful words. It was a release of the frustration built up from tolerating Ouyang Qian for so long.
Ouyang Qian also saw through the true nature of this hypocrite and felt disappointed on the spot, leading to their separation.
This incident left a significant shadow over Ouyang Qian, resulting in her deciding not to date anymore. She became increasingly indifferent towards romantic matters, often saying, "Everything is left to fate."
Well, Ouyang Qian may face it calmly, but Aunt Qian, as a mother and a single parent, was worried as she watched her daughter grow older without seeing her get close to any man. She knew that the younger a woman is, the more options she has. Ouyang Qian was almost 27 now—not exactly young.
However, since her daughter wasn't actively looking for someone, Aunt Qian really couldn't force her to find a partner. She also feared that her daughter might encounter another bad man, which would only add to her troubles.
Yet Aunt Qian couldn't help but nag her regularly to take it seriously and find a good boyfriend.
In fact, with Ouyang Qian's looks, finding a boyfriend shouldn't be difficult at all. Not to mention other places; just at Lin Feng's school, those successful or wealthy individuals would likely rush over if Ouyang Qian just waved at them.
However, Ouyang Qian didn't feel anything. She believed that feelings were the most elusive thing and hard to define.
Thus, despite Aunt Qian's constant nagging about this matter, there was still no movement from Ouyang Qian.
Just now, Ouyang Qian didn't want her mom to worry or continue enduring her nagging, so she used Lin Feng as a shield.
