Sometimes, ignoring someone is the most direct form of insult, but Lin Feng truly has no intention of insulting Song Xin at this moment. After all, no matter how you look at it, Song Xin is currently like meat on a chopping board for Lin Feng; he can handle him however he wishes without needing to waste time and energy on what could be considered insults.
What Lin Feng wants to do right now is only one thing: to have Song Xin find an opportunity to secretly deal with his father, Song Lie.
This is also the reason why Lin Feng insisted that the Liu family leave Song Xin alive; otherwise, why would Lin Feng keep him around?
It’s important to note that Lin Feng got involved with a force like the Song Family, which nearly led him and Dong Jie to their deaths off a cliff. Now, Dong Jie is unable to show his face due to fear of the Song Family's underhanded retaliation, all thanks to Song Xin. If it weren't for him, Lin Feng and Song Lie wouldn’t even know each other, let alone offend one another.
Therefore, Lin Feng originally had no reason to stop the Liu family from punishing Song Xin.
After driving Song Xin to a small motel, Lin Feng directly paid for a day’s rent and bought a box of instant noodles before having Song Xin pushed into a room.
The reason for choosing a small motel was twofold: first, Lin Feng didn’t want to spend money on Song Xin; as long as there was a place to talk, he certainly wouldn’t put Song Xin in a five-star hotel.
Secondly, Lin Feng believed that with so many small motels around, even if someone wanted to search for him, the target would be much smaller than those star-rated hotels, making it harder for people to find them.
Lastly, it was simply convenient; as long as he paid, he could check in without wasting any more time.
After pushing Song Xin into the room, Lin Feng casually tossed the instant noodles on the floor and then locked the door behind him.
“Lin Feng, what do you want?” Song Xin knew that the animosity between him and Lin Feng had reached an irreparable point. At this moment, he lay on the ground like a dead dog. He was well aware of Lin Feng's strength; all he could do now was pray.
As for escaping, he didn’t think his small frame could pull off any tricks against someone like Lin Feng, who could defeat both Song Wu and Song Liu together. So it could be said that Song Xin wasn’t too foolish; he was quite aware of the situation.
“What do you think I want?” Lin Feng took another step closer. He had initially decided to ignore Song Xin, but seeing the fear in the eyes of someone he once dared not provoke brought him a sense of satisfaction in revenge.
“If you want to kill me or torture me, just do it. Don’t torment me,” Song Xin seemed resigned as he spoke to Lin Feng.
“Oh? Still quite tough? What if I just want to torment you?” Lin Feng suddenly felt like a cat playing with a mouse and stepped closer again.
"Don't push me, Lin Feng. I'm telling you, if you push me too hard, I..." Song Xin was somewhat incoherent at this moment. When he thought about what he wanted to say, he suddenly realized that he really didn't have the determination to die.
"Are you thinking of ending it all?" Lin Feng took a step closer, articulating the words that Song Xin couldn't bring himself to say. In a way, Lin Feng was cornering Song Xin.
"I..." Song Xin's hands and feet trembled slightly, unable to speak.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng stepped closer again, eager to see just how tough Song Xin could be.
However, Lin Feng was also prepared; as soon as Song Xin had thoughts of ending his own life, he would definitely intervene. He still had use for him and couldn't afford to waste him.
"Haha..." Lin Feng laughed, mocking Song Xin with his laughter filled with disdain.
Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped laughing and unleashed his Mental Power, activating the Spiritual Brand in Song Xin's mind.
"Ah..." Soon, Song Xin was rolling on the ground, clutching his head and screaming loudly.
Lin Feng did not quickly stop the activation of the Spiritual Brand; he intended to leave a lasting impression on Song Xin, making him understand that seeking death was not an option when fighting for survival.
Only by making a deep impression on Song Xin would he be obedient afterward.
At least, that was what Lin Feng believed.
Since they were in a small hotel with poor soundproofing, and fearing that Song Xin might faint from the pressure, which would then require Lin Feng to exert effort to wake him up—too troublesome—he decided to ease Song Xin's suffering. He believed that Song Xin would be very compliant afterward.
"How does it feel? Do you know what it's like?" Lin Feng asked Song Xin. Although Song Xin lay motionless, Lin Feng knew that he had not yet fainted.
Of course, with the Spiritual Brand implanted in him, as long as he was within the coverage of Lin Feng's Mental Power, any sensation experienced by Song Xin would simultaneously transmit into Lin Feng's mind. This meant that Lin Feng could know everything that Song Xin currently knew.
Therefore, Lin Feng understood that Song Xin had not passed out at this moment.
"What's wrong? Not going to answer? Want to try again?" Lin Feng asked, not surprised by Song Xin's act of playing dead.
"No, I don't want to try anymore." Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Song Xin realized that Lin Feng knew he was faking it and quickly got up, his face filled with the expression of someone who had survived a disaster.
Only after experiencing what it means to suffer could one truly appreciate the beauty of life.
"Being alive is better than anything else." This was the only thought in Song Xin's mind at that moment.
"Well, as long as you behave, I won't make you try," Lin Feng said calmly.
"But if you don't listen, even from a thousand miles away, with just a thought, I can make you experience that kind of pain again. I know that feeling is very unpleasant." Before Song Xin could relax, Lin Feng warned him with a cold expression.
"Okay, I understand. Just tell me what you want me to do," Song Xin acknowledged that he was now Lin Feng's puppet. Although he didn't know how Lin Feng controlled him to experience such pain, he believed Lin Feng's words about being able to inflict that pain from afar since Lin Feng had never physically touched him. At this moment, he had resigned himself; he never wanted to go through that feeling again.
In fact, once implanted with the Spiritual Brand, not even someone a hundred times tougher than Song Xin could withstand the torment caused by it.
This was also why Lin Feng had such confidence in the Spiritual Brand.
"It's simple. Find an opportunity to eliminate your father, Song Lie. I'll have Song Wu, Song Liu, and Song Ran assist you." Having achieved his goal of intimidating Song Xin, Lin Feng stated his demands directly.
Although he claimed he could have Song Wu, Song Liu, and Song Ran help him take down Song Lie, they were not the closest people to Song Lie. However, Song Xin was precisely the closest person to him. Therefore, with the cooperation of Song Wu, Song Liu, and Song Ran, Lin Feng was confident that Song Xin would be able to eliminate Song Lie.
"No way." Upon hearing what Lin Feng wanted him to do, Song Xin's first reaction was to refuse.
"Heh... Do you really think you have a chance to refuse?" Lin Feng said as if looking at a fool.
"Have you controlled Song Ran and the others?" Song Xin wasn't foolish; he quickly caught on and asked.
"Heh... What do you think?" Lin Feng still didn't answer directly, but the confidence in his smile told Song Xin the answer.
"Is this why you let me and them go back then?" At this point, Song Xin began to piece together the situation and asked.
"Actually, you're not that foolish," Lin Feng praised.
"Haha..." Song Xin suddenly burst into laughter, realizing how ridiculous it was that he had provoked someone like Lin Feng, who could control others to do his bidding with just a few words. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
"Do you think you're really that stupid?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes, I'm too foolish," Song Xin replied.
"Enjoy your noodles; I'm leaving." Lin Feng had no interest in discussing insights with Song Xin. He said one last thing and prepared to walk out the door.
"Are you so sure I'll help you deal with my father?" Song Xin asked.
"Heh... it's to help yourself," Lin Feng said without stopping his departure, only throwing back a remark.
Song Xin sat there dumbfounded. Indeed, someone like Lin Feng would do anything for himself, even helping an outsider against his own father.
Lin Feng left, and he didn't know how Song Xin would handle that box of instant noodles. However, he was aware that Song Xin was broke and would likely try at least one pack of noodles.
Of course, that wasn't the main point. What Lin Feng needed to do now was contact Song Ran and the others to plan against Song Lie; it was better to act sooner rather than later.
So, as he left Song Xin's place, Lin Feng began booking tickets for a flight to C City. C City wasn't far from City B, a mid-level city, as both were major cities with their own airports.
The flight would only take forty minutes.
In C City, Lin Feng met with Song Wu, Song Liu, and Song Ran. They all lamented the downfall of the Song Family but ultimately agreed to Lin Feng's request.
There was no choice; circumstances were stronger than loyalty. Their lives were more important than their allegiance to the Song Family. Moreover, Lin Feng informed them that Song Xin had already agreed, and they just needed to cooperate with him.
Thus, Lin Feng quickly returned to City B. He believed it wouldn't be long before the Liu Family received news about how Song Lie had been schemed against by his own son and subordinates. Lin Feng trusted that the Liu Family wouldn't let him down in deciding what to do next.
After arranging everything, Lin Feng once again concealed himself behind the scenes. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and from this point on, he wouldn't need to participate in this matter; there would naturally be others to handle it for him.
This might be what is called a clever strategy.
The next morning, Lin Feng was still sleeping soundly in his dormitory when his landline rang. It was Liu Fei's mobile number.
This was Liu Fei's personal number, which he had given to Lin Feng voluntarily.
"Hello... if you have something to say, just say it. I'm trying to sleep here," Lin Feng said, already guessing the reason for the call. He didn't believe that he and Song Xin, along with the others, couldn't handle Song Lie. So, he felt quite confident at this moment.
"Brother Lin Feng, sorry to disturb you. We at the Liu Family have received your sincerity. Don't worry, what you want, the Liu Family will also provide for you," Liu Fei replied calmly, unaffected by Lin Feng's impatience. At his age, he knew exactly what to say at the right time; he had become quite astute.
"Alright... understood. I'll hang up now. Goodbye," Lin Feng said lightly, indicating that he acknowledged the message before ending the call.
Although he appeared indifferent on the surface, Lin Feng knew that with the Song Family out of the picture, his current enemy was now the Liu Family. It wasn't just about rivalry; there couldn't be two tigers on one mountain. Lin Feng didn't believe that Liu Fei would genuinely continue to cooperate with him after knowing how he dealt with Song Lie.
Lin Feng understood that Liu Fei was more afraid because he feared becoming the next Song Lie.
Therefore, Lin Feng couldn't truly relax just yet.
