After several days of surveillance, Lin Feng discovered that Xiao Yue's life was extremely simple. Every day, she went from home to the office, and even her social engagements were minimal. However, Lin Feng noticed that many times, Xiao Yue would drive alone to a café in the suburbs. After ordering a cup of coffee, she would sit by the window, gazing at the scenery for a good part of the day before settling the bill and leaving.
During this time, Lin Feng would always be parked in his car outside the café. The café had transparent glass walls, so although he was sitting outside, he could see all of Xiao Yue's actions clearly. At first, Lin Feng couldn't understand why Xiao Yue would spend so much time there. Later, he realized that her future marriage had already been decided by her family, which made her prolonged stay more understandable.
Through these days of covert observation, Lin Feng learned that Xiao Yue also had considerable talent in business; at least, she managed the Xiao Family's business affairs very well. Yet, seeing her alone in the café made Lin Feng aware that everyone has their own struggles.
Despite being born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Xiao Yue's fate had been predetermined from the moment she was born. She underwent various forms of training from a young age and was destined to marry someone chosen for her since birth. This was something she could not change and had to accept silently because she knew her family could not afford to provoke the Lin family’s wrath.
Thus, she had to learn to accept her situation, even though her future husband was currently missing.
Watching the lingering melancholy on Xiao Yue's beautiful face, Lin Feng sighed. He felt sorry for her; not being able to choose her own marriage partner meant she might never experience true love. But what could he do? Or rather, what right did he have to intervene? The truth was that she didn't even know him.
So, all Lin Feng could do now was help her with the matter concerning Zheng Jian.
Just as Lin Feng was sighing, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hello..." It was He Ting calling. Lin Feng kept his gaze fixed on Xiao Yue as he answered the call.
"Lin Feng, are you with Xiao Yue right now? I overheard that Zheng Jian is planning to take action tonight. It's already dusk; you need to be alert to your surroundings," He Ting informed him.
"Yes, I'm with her. I'll be careful," Lin Feng replied without surprise. Given Zheng Jian's impulsive nature, it was entirely understandable that he would act tonight after conspiring with Hook a few days ago.
After hanging up, Lin Feng scanned the area with his mental power and noticed an inconspicuous sedan parked nearby with someone inside who was also tracking Xiao Yue’s every move—using binoculars to observe her actions.
It is no wonder that this guy cannot compare to Lin Feng; his eyesight is not as sharp as Lin Feng's. Therefore, he can only keep an eye on Xiao Yue's situation through a telescope.
After casually observing the other party, Lin Feng felt relieved. This guy posed no threat at all and was completely disregarded by Lin Feng, who saw him merely as a scout.
At that moment, Xiao Yue called over a waiter to settle the bill and left.
Once outside, Xiao Yue walked towards her red BMW car.
After getting in, Xiao Yue started the engine and drove in the direction of her home.
At the same time, Lin Feng also started his car, keeping a considerable distance from Xiao Yue. He knew he couldn't follow too closely; otherwise, not only would Xiao Yue notice she was being followed, but Zheng Jian, who was also tracking Xiao Yue, would notice him as well.
Although that person did not pose any threat to Lin Feng, he would not easily expose himself. This was Lin Feng's habit; he could tactically underestimate his opponent but would never be arrogant.
Lin Feng had seen many examples of people failing due to arrogance, so he would not make the same mistake.
While driving, Lin Feng released his Mental Power to observe the movements of the person sent by Zhang Jian. He saw that the man had picked up his mobile phone and was making a call. Lin Feng guessed that this person was reporting back to Zhang Jian or Hook.
After driving for about half an hour and knowing that they would reach the Xiao Family in about ten minutes, Lin Feng had been tracking Xiao Yue for several days and had learned the exact location of the Xiao Family. Thus, he could make an accurate estimate at this moment.
Just then, Xiao Yue's car suddenly came to a stop, and Lin Feng also pulled over.
Before Xiao Yue stopped her car, Lin Feng had already noticed that two cars were ahead trying to intercept her vehicle.
Wait, that's not right; there are three cars. At this moment, Lin Feng realized that behind those two cars, there was another vehicle following closely, and sitting inside was none other than Zheng Jian.
"It seems a good show is about to unfold," Lin Feng said with a smile as he turned off his engine.
Sure enough, after the two cars intercepted Xiao Yue, the people inside began to get out. They all had rough appearances, looking like thugs.
Xiao Yue likely realized that these people were coming for her, but at this moment, she remained calm. She locked the car windows and took out her phone to make a call.
The group noticed Xiao Yue's actions; the leader frowned and hurried over with his subordinates, warning her not to call the police, or else she would regret it.
Naturally, Xiao Yue would not listen to them. She knew that even if she didn't call the police, things wouldn't end well for her.
Quickly informing the police of her location, Xiao Yue hung up the phone.
Next, she dialed her home number.
"Hello... Miss, what can I do for you?" The butler of the Xiao Family answered the phone. He recognized Xiao Yue's mobile number and directly asked after connecting.
"Butler Grandpa, I've been intercepted on my way," Xiao Yue said calmly into the phone.
"What? Miss, where are you?" The butler remained composed and inquired.
"I've activated the positioning system," Xiao Yue replied, clearly having prepared for this situation.
The reason she didn't mention a specific location was that she didn't know exactly where she was at that moment, and also because she understood that her location might change soon. Therefore, she wisely activated the positioning system on her device.
As a member of a prominent family, Xiao Yue had always known that she could be targeted at any time, so having such a positioning system was normal.
"Okay, Miss, don't panic. Try to negotiate with them and avoid getting out of the car. We'll rush over immediately," the butler said calmly, having dealt with such situations before.
"Understood. Thank you for your help, Butler Grandpa," Xiao Yue replied, remaining composed and even taking the time to express her gratitude to the butler.
Then, Xiao Yue hung up the phone. She knew that it was enough to inform her family; what she needed to do next was to drag things out, just as the butler had said, and negotiate with them.
The length of the negotiation would depend on her own abilities.
After hanging up, Xiao Yue glanced at her surroundings, gritted her teeth, and pressed the accelerator. The power of the BMW surged forward.
She understood that when dealing with these people, there was no need to be polite. No matter what happened to them, it was their own doing.
Seeing Xiao Yue handle the situation calmly, Lin Feng nodded slightly, a hint of admiration crossing his eyes as he continued to observe.
He knew that no matter how composed Xiao Yue was, he would eventually have to step in; he just needed to find the right opportunity.
Sure enough, those people seemed to have anticipated Xiao Yue's actions. After scattering some substances on the ground, they quickly dodged away. Their movements were familiar and practiced, indicating that they often engaged in such activities.
Xiao Yue clearly noticed their actions as well, but after all, she was just a girl. Although she remained calm, this was her first encounter with such a situation. In a moment of carelessness, her tires were completely punctured.
Well, now her car had lost its mobility; it was nothing more than a protective shell.
However, even though Xiao Yue's car was a BMW, it didn't have bulletproof glass.
At that moment, Xiao Yue realized she had to get out of the car.
Staying inside meant waiting to be caught; if she got out, there might still be a chance to escape.
Of course, Xiao Yue also knew that with her slender arms and legs, the likelihood of escaping was low, but it was still better than staying in the car.
So, Xiao Yue decisively got out of the car, holding a baseball bat in her hand.
Seeing Xiao Yue holding a baseball bat, although the bat did not match her outfit at all, Lin Feng couldn't help but admire her.
At this moment, Xiao Yue was able to remain so calm, which made Lin Feng look at her in a new light. However, Lin Feng knew that if he didn't lend a hand, no matter how calm Xiao Yue was, it would be useless.
"Hehe... this girl has some guts. Your Grandpa likes this kind of personality," the leader, a man with a lot of flesh, said with a smile as he approached Xiao Yue, who was holding the baseball bat.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yue tightened her grip on the bat and asked.
"We're just here to take you out for some fun," the man replied casually. He didn't make any inappropriate moves, likely because he knew that Xiao Yue was the woman Zheng Jian wanted and didn't dare to take advantage of her since Zheng Jian was watching from the side.
"I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, let me go now. In the future, my Xiao Family will remember your kindness. If you don't know what's good for you, I, Xiao Yue, will make sure you regret it," Xiao Yue said firmly. She knew that this statement probably wouldn't have any effect and that these people likely wouldn't let her go because of it. However, she needed to stall for time; otherwise, she would be doomed.
Moreover, Xiao Yue's words were quite clever—using a big stick along with sweet dates. If these people weren't sent by Zheng Jian, they might even be swayed.
"Hmph... I'm really not someone who knows what's good for me. Brothers, take this woman back," the leader said after glancing in the direction where Zheng Jian's car was parked and waved his hand to signal his men.
Upon receiving the order, they prepared to move forward and surround Xiao Yue. Of course, they only surrounded her; they were waiting for their "hero" Zheng Jian to appear and couldn't rush things. They had to give their "hero" some time to prepare.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and revved the engine as he drove towards Xiao Yue.
