"Whoosh..." Seeing that the giant snake had finally been eliminated, Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief. After all, he had indeed acted recklessly just now. It was important to note that the giant snake was not an ordinary creature; it had been guarding the Millennium Ginseng to absorb its spiritual energy for nourishment. Because of this, Lin Feng estimated that the giant snake was likely a thousand-year-old serpent, which meant its strength was far greater than Lin Feng's, even with his Internal Energy.
If he hadn't managed to blow it up, Lin Feng would have probably faced dire consequences.
Fortunately, although Lin Feng's earlier actions were risky, the outcome was favorable. At least now, the giant snake could no longer prevent them from harvesting ginseng.
However, at that moment, Lin Xing and the others were staring at Lin Feng in shock. They truly hadn't expected that Lin Feng's reckless move would succeed, leaving them filled with admiration amidst their surprise.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and gather the ginseng; I don't want to stay in this cursed place any longer," Lin Feng said, feeling a bit fatigued. The task of collecting ginseng would naturally fall to them, and seeing that they were still in a daze, he quickly urged them on.
"Oh, did you hear that? Hurry up and collect the ginseng," Lin Xing snapped back to reality and shouted at his two subordinates before leading the way to gather ginseng himself.
"Lin Feng, are you okay?" As they began collecting ginseng, Lin Mei approached Lin Feng and asked.
"Hehe... I'm fine; how could anything be wrong?" Seeing Lin Mei's concerned expression, Lin Feng smiled and replied casually.
"That's good. You should rest for a bit; I'll go help over there. Once we're done, we'll head back to City together," Lin Mei said, relieved that Lin Feng was alright. She couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety when recalling his earlier reckless move. If he had hesitated even slightly in jumping away or detonating the explosives, the only outcome would have been death.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had managed the timing perfectly; he was merely fatigued and uninjured.
Even in such a critical moment, being able to make such a decision showed that Lin Feng had courage. Successfully executing such a crazy plan demonstrated his composure.
A person who possessed both boldness and steadiness earned respect from even Lin Mei.
This was Lin Mei's current evaluation of Lin Feng—not just because he had helped their family significantly but also because his actions had earned her admiration.
Not long after, Lin Mei and the others finished harvesting the Ginseng. Although Lin Feng did not participate, he watched from the side during a break and saw the Ginseng being tied with red string and placed into the prepared Jade Box. Only after that did Lin Feng follow everyone back home.
This operation to collect Millennium Ginseng was undoubtedly successful, as Lin Feng and his group managed to gather three Ginseng plants, all of which were Millennium Ginseng.
Seeing the three Ginseng plants they had harvested, Lin Feng understood why that giant snake was so formidable. With three Ginseng plants to absorb spiritual energy from day to night, it would indeed be strange if it weren't so powerful.
After packing up their things, Lin Feng and the others naturally had no reason to stay there any longer. Especially Lin Mei; although Lin Feng's grilled food had its own unique flavor, it was still just better than cooked food. Lin Mei missed her Mum's delicious soup, which was both warming and tasty.
Thus, the group set off directly on their way home with their harvest.
Upon arriving, Lin Feng was once again warmly welcomed by the Lin family. He didn't hold back; although he had adapted well to camping life over the past few days, no one would choose such a lifestyle if given a choice. So seeing so much delicious food, Lin Feng rolled up his sleeves and started to feast heartily.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lin Feng was invited once again to the Study to meet Old Man Lin along with Lin Mei.
As of now, despite being a half-savior, Lin Feng had yet to meet Old Man Lin's wife, who was also Lin Mei's grandmother.
However, this was merely a thought for Lin Feng; he didn't feel it was necessary to meet her. Since Old Man Lin and the family had not arranged for it, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
Originally, out of habit, Lin Feng thought about letting Tesla check if Lin Mei's grandmother was truly as ill as they said and whether she really needed so much Millennium Ginseng for treatment.
It should be noted that while Millennium Ginseng is a spiritual herb, it must be used appropriately. Especially since Millennium Ginseng is a powerful tonic; improper use could pose life-threatening risks.
But soon after, Lin Feng felt relieved. After all, given how much importance Old Man Lin placed on this matter and the influence of the Lin family, they surely wouldn't hire an incompetent doctor to diagnose Grandma Lin. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to worry excessively; the likelihood of his concerns becoming reality was extremely low.
"Ha ha... Lin Feng, Mei'er and Xiao Xing both told me about this girl. She insisted on going along even when I told her not to, and in the end, she still troubled you to take care of her. Thank you," Old Man Lin said as he entered the Study with a rosy face, clearly very excited.
After Lin Xing and Lin Mei returned, they reported everything that had happened over the past few days. However, after hearing their account, he was very grateful to Lin Feng. After all, if it weren't for Lin Feng, things would not have turned out so well.
It was likely that just that giant snake could have prevented Lin Xing and the others from returning at all.
"Haha... Old Lin, you've mentioned it several times at the table, it's making me feel embarrassed. Besides, Miss Lin is also worried about Grandma Lin's condition and is trying to do her part for her. It's understandable," Lin Feng said, knowing that Old Lin wasn't truly blaming Lin Mei. He casually defended her a bit, considering that Lin Mei was his boss and he actually admired her for her dedication in this matter, even though she really needed Lin Feng's support.
However, given that she was a weak woman—at least physically—and was willing to go through so much for her grandmother, even to the point of going hungry herself, Lin Feng felt that she had already done enough.
"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Old Lin simply smiled. It was clear to anyone that he highly appreciated Lin Feng's words. Lin Mei's filial piety brought him comfort.
"Alright, Lin Feng, I didn't misjudge you. I've prepared a small gift for you; Mei'er will give it to you tomorrow. Also, since I see you as a talented person, how about this: you can be Mei'er's personal assistant from now on? You can help her with official duties as well," Old Lin said with a smile as he talked about his reward. Not only did he mention the small gift, but what he said afterward was essentially a promotion. After all, Lin Mei was the president, and being her personal assistant while helping with official matters meant being in a position of significant authority.
"Haha... Since Old Lin has already arranged it, I'll give it a try. I can ensure the young lady's safety perhaps, but I can't guarantee whether I can fulfill the position you've assigned me," Lin Feng replied casually without showing surprise at the unexpected opportunity.
Moreover, Lin Feng wasn't one to be overly sentimental. Since Old Lin had already made arrangements, pushing back would only cause displeasure.
"Haha... Well, just give it a try. If it doesn't suit you, I'll make other arrangements," Old Lin said half-jokingly as he looked at Lin Feng with newfound respect.
Afterward, the three chatted for a while longer before Lin Feng headed home.
Old Lin also specially approved for Lin Feng to choose a car from the Lin family's garage as his future vehicle to drive Lin Mei around. Since he would be her personal assistant, it was only natural for him to take her to and from work.
Initially, Old Lin had arranged for a guest room in the Lin Family Manor for Lin Feng to stay long-term. However, in the end, Lin Feng declined; he didn't want to live under someone else's watchful eye every day; he craved freedom.
"This one will do; keep it low-key. I think that will be beneficial for your safety," after browsing through the garage, Lin Feng finally chose a sturdy and understated Audi and said to Lin Mei who accompanied him out.
"Well, it's up to you." At this moment, Lin Mei regarded Lin Feng as a friend, smiling at him as she spoke.
Of course, it was only as friends; after all, Lin Mei was destined to be the future wife of Young Master Song, and that was a certainty.
Thus, even though Lin Mei considered Lin Feng a friend now, she still maintained a certain distance.
Lin Feng naturally noticed the deliberate distance Lin Mei was keeping. However, he had no particular feelings for her either. Being friends was quite nice, and who knows, one day Lin Feng might find himself in an adversarial position with Lin Mei.
It is important to note that Lin Feng had another identity: he was an internal undercover agent sent by He Ting.
To be an undercover agent while developing feelings for the target was inherently impossible.
Of course, Lin Feng always believed that he was not a professional undercover agent. Although he had been in the Golden Dragon Group for quite some time, he never felt an urgent need to investigate. He had indeed gained the trust of the Lin family, but Lin Feng could swear that although he was getting closer to them, none of this was premeditated or planned.
In his interactions with the Lin family, Lin Feng maintained an attitude of enjoying a new life without any ulterior motives.
After agreeing with Lin Mei on what time he would pick her up the next day, Lin Feng drove away.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng arrived at the Lin Family Manor. He didn't mind waking up early; after all, he didn't have a habit of going back to sleep. Of course, if there were a beloved woman lying beside him, that would be a different story—after all, Lin Feng was just a normal man.
However, as of now, Lin Feng remained single. Several potential partners had not truly been with him for various reasons.
