Next, under Tesla's guidance, Lin Feng began to rescue Song Qi. This time, Song Qi was already injured, but given the presence of "Forbidden Spring," this injury was not a significant issue for Tesla. In fact, Tesla mentioned that it was precisely because Song Qi had sustained such severe injuries that he was confident she could withstand the cleansing and healing effects of "Forbidden Spring" on her body.
"Does that mean as long as someone is willing to sustain such serious injuries, they can absorb the medicinal properties of 'Forbidden Spring' and thus benefit from misfortune?" Lin Feng asked with a sudden thought.
"Theoretically, yes. But you know how lucky one must be to survive such severe injuries without dying and hold on until you arrive to save them?" Tesla replied curtly.
"Oh..." Lin Feng realized he had been too presumptuous.
After a while, Song Qi had recovered. Although she was injured, it was an internal injury; she did not cough up blood or bleed externally. Once Lin Feng finished treating her, there was nothing else to do but cover her with a blanket and wait for her to wake up on her own.
Lin Feng asked Song Xin and the others to go buy some food. He had just gotten out of bed when Song Qi called him to C City, and he hadn't eaten anything yet; his stomach was empty.
As for him, he naturally stayed with Song Qi. It wasn't that Lin Feng had any particular feelings for Song Qi; rather, he wanted to see if she would have any adverse reactions after taking "Forbidden Spring."
After all, Song Qi was the first person to take "Forbidden Spring" while severely injured, and Lin Feng wanted to know the effects it would have on her.
Seeing Lin Feng sitting by Song Qi's bedside, Song Xin and the others felt it was inappropriate to say anything and could only follow Lin Feng's instructions to prepare food for him. In fact, they had rushed over early in the morning when Lin Feng called them for help, and after performing emergency treatment, they hadn't even had breakfast yet.
Thus, Lin Feng stayed by Song Qi's bedside even during mealtime. Observing him, Song Xin and the others suddenly realized that Lin Feng liked Song Qi; no wonder he insisted they save her.
Lin Feng noticed that Song Xin and the others misunderstood his intentions, but he didn't bother to explain. Besides, he couldn't deny that there were some personal feelings involved in his unwavering presence here. Overall, he felt somewhat confused about his feelings toward Song Qi.
Fortunately, Lin Feng knew that now was not the time to sort out these feelings; it was more important to wait for Song Qi to wake up.
So, Lin Feng kept vigil by Song Qi's side until midnight.
Initially, Lin Feng had dozed off at Song Qi's bedside, but because he was worried about her, he didn't sleep deeply. Therefore, as soon as there was any movement from Song Qi, he immediately woke up.
Upon waking up, he realized that Song Qi was holding his hand tightly.
He saw that Song Qi's nails were digging into his skin as she muttered repeatedly, "I failed. The Song Family has already lost; I still couldn't achieve my goal. I'm unwilling."
After being awakened by Song Qi, Lin Feng found himself in a dilemma: pulling his hand away might hurt her, but keeping it there was also uncomfortable since her grip wasn't strong but still painful due to her nails digging into his skin.
Helpless, Lin Feng allowed Song Qi to hold his hand. He knew that Song Qi was still feeling resentful in her dreams about not being able to take down the Song Family. Lin Feng could see that resentment reflected in Song Qi's expression at that moment.
This woman was too strong-willed, entangled in hatred and unable to extricate herself. This was Lin Feng's assessment of Song Qi at that moment.
"Perhaps this woman believes that only by making Song Gang her possession can she consider her revenge complete," Lin Feng speculated.
After a while, Song Qi finally calmed down, and she finally released her tight grip on Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng checked Song Qi's pulse; the "Forbidden Spring" truly lived up to its name. It could be said that it worked wonders—within just one day, Song Qi's body had basically recovered.
Knowing that Song Qi was no longer in serious danger and just needed to wait for her to wake up, Lin Feng pondered for a moment before making a decision.
Putting on his coat, Lin Feng left Song Qi's room. He needed to inform Song Xin and the others about the decision he had just made.
Lin Feng did not sleep, and naturally, neither did Song Xin. Throughout the night, they waited for Lin Feng to give them any instructions.
Sure enough, it was only midnight when Lin Feng came out, and from his demeanor, it seemed he had something important to tell them.
"Feng Shao, what happened?" Song Xin asked first. To be honest, ever since Lin Feng took control, Song Xin had changed a lot; specifically, he had become more aware of his own status. Now, all he felt towards Lin Feng was respect.
"Your sister is no longer in serious danger. I won't wait for her to wake up; you all stay with her until she does. Also, do not reveal our relationship to her. If she asks how she ended up here, just say you saved her out of old feelings. Understand?" Lin Feng instructed. The first part was directed at Song Xin, while the latter part was addressed to Song Wu and Song Liu.
"Understood," Song Xin and the others replied.
"Alright, I'm leaving," Lin Feng said as he prepared to depart; there was nothing more for him to do here.
"By the way, Feng Shao, how should we arrange for my sister?" Song Xin asked thoughtfully.
"When she wakes up, let her do whatever she wants," Lin Feng replied over his shoulder.
"Okay, once she wakes up, I'll have Song Xin inform me," Lin Feng added after a moment of thought.
"Don't worry, Feng Shao," Song Xin assured him, having no further questions.
Lin Feng said nothing and left.
Since he had already decided to leave, he took a flight back to City B, a mid-level city, overnight.
When Lin Feng arrived in City B, a mid-level city, it was exactly five in the morning. He was in a hurry and managed to catch a bit of sleep, but just as he intended to enjoy a lazy morning after a long day, his Mobile Phone woke him up.
"Hello..." Lin Feng really felt that he was destined to be deprived of lazy mornings. Yesterday, it was Song Qi who woke him up, and today someone else disturbed him at nearly the same time. It was quite frustrating.
"Is this Mr. Lin Feng? I apologize for calling you so early; I hope I’m not disturbing your rest," the voice on the other end quickly sensed Lin Feng's displeasure and spoke politely.
"You’ve already disturbed me; what can I do about it? Who are you?" Lin Feng had just opened one eye and, being woken up by someone, naturally wasn't in the best mood as he asked.
"Oh, Mr. Lin Feng, you truly have many important matters to attend to and tend to forget things! I am the president of the Jade Association in City A. I contacted you a few days ago; have you forgotten?" The person introduced himself again, maintaining a courteous tone. Although Lin Feng's tone was not polite, he knew about Lin Feng's legendary status in Gambling Stone in City A and dared not show any disrespect.
Even though he was the President of the Jade Association, he understood that compared to experts like Lin Feng in Gambling Stone, he was nothing. So despite being treated dismissively by Lin Feng, he didn't dare say anything.
Ultimately, it was still a matter of strength.
"Oh, what’s the matter?" Knowing this wasn’t just a casual call, Lin Feng's tone softened a bit but still lacked warmth.
"Well, I wanted to remind you about the jade exhibition that Mr. Liu from our City A is hosting. I feared you might have forgotten, so I called to inform you," the voice on the other end explained.
"Oh, I haven't forgotten; when exactly is it?" Lin Feng actually had forgotten but said this out of politeness.
"Um, it starts tomorrow at two in the afternoon. However, Mr. Lin Feng is an esteemed guest; you only need to arrive by seven in the evening," the caller assured without any doubt regarding Lin Feng's attendance. In his view, no matter how arrogant Lin Feng might be, he would still value an event hosted by Mr. Liu.
What he didn’t know was that although Lin Feng had heard of Mr. Liu’s name, he had never met him in person and didn’t have any profound impression of him; at most, he thought of him as an experienced elder in the Jade Industry.
Lin Feng originally had no intention of attending the Jade Industry exhibition and thus wouldn’t pay much attention to an elder from that field.
"Oh, where should I go to participate in this exhibition?" Since Lin Feng was interested in attending, he naturally needed to ask for the address.
"Mr. Lin Feng need not worry; we have already prepared tickets for your flight to City A. They should be delivered to you shortly. Additionally, we will have someone waiting for you at the airport when you arrive in City A; there’s no need for you to worry about these details," the person continued speaking. Although he was the President of the Jade Association, his tone showed no impatience at all; rather, it resembled that of a service attendant.
"Oh, thank you very much. I will definitely be there. Is there anything else?" Since the other party was so considerate and Lin Feng had already planned to go, he readily agreed to attend. However, what puzzled Lin Feng was why the people from the Jade Association valued him so much just for showing a few skills on a street in the city.
"It seems I need to keep a low profile from now on," Lin Feng told himself.
"That's all. I won't disturb you any longer. See you at the exhibition," the other party concluded, understanding that Lin Feng might have other matters to attend to and politely refrained from further interruption.
"Okay, goodbye," Lin Feng replied before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, Lin Feng went back to sleep. Since everything had been arranged on the other end, he was just waiting for the flight tickets to arrive. As for luggage, with the magic ring in hand, Lin Feng naturally didn't need to prepare anything else.
After sleeping for a while, Lin Feng felt wide awake and got up to wash up.
Right on time, Lin Feng's phone rang; it was a call from the courier, saying that he had a package waiting for him downstairs at the Dormitory Building.
Lin Feng hurried downstairs, knowing that it was likely the check sent by the President of the Jade Association.
He signed for it and opened the package—indeed, it was a check.
After greeting his roommates, Lin Feng prepared to head to City A. The reason for leaving a bit early was that he felt it necessary to invite Chen Sheng to join him at the exhibition hosted by Liu Lao.
