Lin Feng had understood everything happening inside while he was outside. In the end, he realized that if he didn't go in now, even if he went in later, he probably wouldn't receive a good attitude from Lin Mei. So, he decisively entered.
Moreover, when he went in, he had just confiscated the small vial from Black Tiger's hands.
He didn't say anything like "Miss, I'm late..." because Lin Feng didn't think he was late at all; Lin Mei hadn't expected him to come.
Since Lin Mei hadn't anticipated his arrival, Lin Feng's presence was an unexpected bonus. Therefore, he believed that it should be Lin Mei thanking him, rather than him apologizing to her.
"Who are you? How did you get in?" Black Tiger genuinely didn't know how Lin Feng had appeared. He relied on having the "Divine Three-Step Fall" elixir and hadn't brought many people with him—just a few lackeys who could be called upon as needed.
What does it mean to have lackeys who can be called upon? They are the kind of people who can run errands for you but can't help you out of danger or trouble when it matters. That's exactly the type of lackeys Black Tiger had brought today.
"Hehe, I was bored outside, so I came in to take a look," Lin Feng said, ignoring Black Tiger's surprise. He continued to carefully place the confiscated vial into his pocket as if it were a precious treasure.
"Uh..." Even though Black Tiger's mental state was strong, he was still taken aback by Lin Feng's words and momentarily speechless.
"Alright, isn't it time to hand over the other divine medicine? What's it called? 'Divine Three-Step Fall,' right?" After putting away the vial, Lin Feng continued to demand from Black Tiger.
"How come you're fine?" As Lin Feng approached Black Tiger while walking, they had covered quite a distance—more than ten steps—but Black Tiger was astonished to find that Lin Feng showed no signs of fainting.
"Hehe... I've been vaccinated since I was little; maybe that's why," Lin Feng said with a grin as he continued to close in on Black Tiger. His words nearly drove Black Tiger to the brink of collapse.
Vaccinated since childhood? Who would believe that?
"Are you going to hand it over or not?" Seeing that Black Tiger didn't believe him and showed no intention of surrendering anything, Lin Feng took another step forward and pressed him.
"No." Black Tiger steeled himself and replied resolutely.
"Good, very good. I'll ask you again: are you going to hand it over or not?" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng repeated "good" twice and continued to press closer.
"No... what can you do..." Black Tiger naturally wasn't going to give in easily. However, before he could finish his retort of "what can you do about it?", Lin Feng knocked him out with a swift chop. Not everyone in this line of work has skills; besides, even if Black Tiger had some skills, he couldn't escape this fate in front of Lin Feng. After all, although Lin Feng was a master, he lacked the awareness typical of one and instead used a sneak attack to knock him out.
What is a sneak attack? It's when you strike when your opponent is unaware or doesn't expect an attack from you—that's what a sneak attack is.
Lin Feng knocked out Black Tiger and began searching his body. Before knocking him out, he had already stated that he was after a rare medicine called "Divine Three-Step Fall."
Now that Black Tiger was unconscious, it was time to reap the rewards of his labor.
Lin Mei thought that after knocking out Black Tiger, Lin Feng would come to rescue her. After all, Lin Feng was her bodyguard, even if he had only been on the job for a day.
In fact, Lin Mei was already considering whether she should treat Lin Feng better, since he had just saved her life.
However, as she watched Lin Feng swiftly take care of Black Tiger, she expected him to come to her aid. To her surprise, this jerk didn’t even glance at her but eagerly began rummaging through Black Tiger's pockets. Lin Mei knew that Lin Feng was looking for the "Divine Three-Step Fall."
Lin Feng emptied all of Black Tiger's pockets without even looking at his wallet. It appeared deflated; how much money could it possibly hold? If it was only a few thousand dollars, Lin Feng wouldn’t bother taking it. After all, he had a substantial amount of money in his bank card, so a few thousand dollars were insignificant to him.
What mattered to Lin Feng was the "Divine Three-Step Fall," which could take down even Lin Mei's personal bodyguard in an instant. Perhaps this item was worthless to him, but he didn’t believe there were many people in the world with a physique like his, having undergone the refinement of the "Forbidden Spring."
Thus, Lin Feng considered this item to be highly collectible.
"Yes, this is it." After some searching, Lin Feng finally found what he wanted and happily opened the vial. One bottle contained an antidote while the other held poison; after all, this substance was delivered through gas. Therefore, Lin Feng deduced that the one resembling traditional Chinese medicine incense must be the poison, while the other vial likely contained the antidote.
"Lin Feng, you jerk! Aren't you coming to help me?" Lin Mei watched from the side, wanting to see how long Lin Feng would keep this up. However, seeing him engrossed in his findings and ignoring her completely made her lose patience. She couldn’t move at all due to the strange poison coursing through her veins; after being frightened by Black Tiger earlier, she was exhausted and just wanted to sit down and rest.
"Ah, oh, I forgot." When Lin Feng heard Lin Mei calling out to him, he seemed to remember her existence. He scratched the back of his head and blurted out something that almost made Lin Mei forget about her predicament and want to vent her frustrations on him.
Lin Mei gritted her teeth; despite her reluctance, she had to admit that now wasn’t the time for banter with Lin Feng since she still needed his help.
Given Lin Feng’s current attitude, she didn’t believe he would take the initiative to rescue her simply because she was still a member of the Lin family’s bodyguard team.
Seeing him so eager to take advantage of the situation made her wonder if being a bodyguard meant prioritizing their employer's life above everything else.
Lin Mei was rational; she knew the answer was definitely no.
Well then, since Lin Mei had spoken up, Lin Feng temporarily put away the precious medicine he had scavenged from Black Tiger and started walking toward Lin Mei to prepare for her rescue.
However, as he approached her, he realized an important question—how exactly was he going to save her?
Lin Feng had just obtained the antidote from Black Tiger, but after taking a quick look, he realized that the antidote was limited. To use this scarce antidote on Lin Mei's poison, to be honest, Lin Feng was somewhat reluctant.
It wasn't that Lin Feng was stingy; rather, he understood that if he cured Lin Mei's poison, then shouldn't the poisons affecting Zhang San and Li Si also be addressed? This raised a dilemma: if the already limited antidote was used for all three of them, it would almost be gone. In that case, using the "Divine Three-Step Fall" would become less effective for Lin Feng. With only poison and no antidote, how could Lin Feng manage effectively?
"Miss Lin, how should I save you?" After weighing his options, Lin Feng decided to play dumb and casually touched his nose, asking innocently.
"Weren't you just searching Black Tiger for the antidote?" Lin Mei was well aware of Lin Feng's thoughts and stared at him, countering his question.
"Uh, Miss, you are of noble birth. Whether that is truly an antidote has yet to be verified. Besides, I suspect Black Tiger is quite treacherous; who knows if he might have a fake antidote on him to trick us? What if this is a fake?" Lin Feng quickly came up with an excuse.
In reality, while Lin Feng could barely distinguish between poison and antidote by appearance, he still felt uneasy. He had just communicated with Tesla about it. Although Tesla had never seen this kind of medicine before, being a stubborn old soul who had lived for thousands of years, he had a perfect ability to identify medicines. Through his Mental Power investigation, Tesla confirmed to Lin Feng that it was indeed real. Moreover, Lin Feng's speculation was correct; according to Tesla's understanding, this medicine was merely one type and didn't necessarily require an antidote—it could also be detoxified through rest. Therefore, Lin Feng naturally didn't want Lin Mei to use the medicine. After all, this medicine was incredibly precious and represented a non-renewable resource for him; every little bit counted.
"Well, that's reasonable. How about this: you carry me back to the Lin family," Lin Mei thought for a moment and found some logic in what Lin Feng said. After all, she couldn't walk right now. If she accidentally took something that wasn't an antidote and ended up getting poisoned instead, it would be counterproductive. So she blushed and commanded Lin Feng.
"Uh, is that appropriate? You are of noble birth," Lin Feng knew this was indeed the best solution but couldn't help recalling how Lin Mei had treated him before. Plus, he thought her blushing face looked quite charming, so he continued to tease her.
"Just carry me! Why are you overthinking this?" Seeing that Lin Feng was still hesitating, Lin Mei initially thought he was concerned about her status. However, upon seeing his expression while saying those words, she realized that this annoying Lin Feng was actually teasing her at such a moment. It made her furious; yet now he was her only support, so she had no choice but to endure it. She resolved that once she recovered, the first thing she would do is teach Lin Feng a lesson so he'd understand why flowers bloom so beautifully.
"Well, you really are quite heavy." Seeing that Lin Mei had tacitly agreed, Lin Feng naturally picked her up without hesitation and even made a remark without considering her feelings.
