With Lin Feng's driving skills, the driver sent by the Lin family, who was said to be the second-best driver in the family, was undoubtedly left behind. After all, Lin Feng was driving a good car, and his skills had been honed through life-and-death experiences.
Without a target, the driver could only call Lin Mei to report the situation.
"How could you be so foolish? Even though you lost him, the car still has a tracking system. Is he going to fly away or something?" Lin Mei was not surprised by this news. Although she hadn't known Lin Feng for long, she understood that his driving skills were unmatched. However, she was still very angry and scolded him.
"Miss, I have located the car through the tracking system, but Lin Feng is not inside," said the driver named Wu Si. He was loyal to the Lin family; after all, he was a racer but could no longer compete due to certain reasons. The Lin family had given him an opportunity to continue driving and earn a living through this profession.
Although he couldn't seek thrills on the racetrack anymore, he was older now and had long passed the age of chasing excitement. At this moment, having a stable job made him genuinely happy.
While he could no longer pursue thrills, stability was a gain. To obtain certain things, one always had to sacrifice something else as a cost.
Wu Si understood this principle well at over thirty years old and being married.
"Oh, then you can come back," Lin Mei guessed that with Lin Feng's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to evade tracking with a vehicle equipped with a tracking system. Since he chose to do this, finding him would be challenging for her; she knew she couldn't match Lin Feng in this regard.
After all, as a bodyguard, Lin Feng was far more professional in tracking and counter-tracking than Lin Mei.
Of course, Lin Mei felt reassured enough to let Wu Si return because he had already confirmed that Lin Feng was safe. The fact that Lin Feng had perfectly evaded Wu Si's pursuit meant he was fine.
As long as it was confirmed that Lin Feng was safe, that would suffice; this was also the order given by Old Master Lin from the beginning.
After shaking off Wu Si, Lin Feng parked his car in a parking lot near He Ting's residence and then took a taxi to her place. For convenience in her work, she had rented an apartment here.
This was also Lin Feng's first time coming here, as it was He Ting's request.
Lin Feng always believed that He Ting was quite messy. While she might not have made her living space extremely dirty or chaotic, it certainly wasn't organized.
However, when he entered He Ting's home, he realized his judgment was wrong. Although her place was a temporary residence and hadn't undergone any major renovations, there were plenty of soft furnishings. In many areas, there were personal touches she had added, and the floors were kept very clean.
"Is this your home?" Looking at He Ting's house, which was different from what he had imagined, Lin Feng suddenly felt disbelief that this was indeed He Ting's place.
"Well, what do you think?" He Ting seemed to understand Lin Feng's thoughts and countered with a question.
"Hehe... I suppose it is. I didn't expect you to make your home so comfortable," Lin Feng replied, fully aware of the teasing tone in He Ting's words.
"Hehe... there are indeed many things you didn't expect," He Ting said lightly without further teasing Lin Feng. She then prepared to get to the main topic, remembering that since Lin Feng chose to meet her here, it meant some matters needed to be addressed.
"By the way, He Ting, I've been exposed, and I found out about my background," Lin Feng recalled that he had come to see He Ting for a reason and spoke up.
"Mm, go on," He Ting clearly took this matter seriously as she straightened up and listened intently.
"It's quite a coincidence; I just learned that I am the Lin Family Young Master who has been missing for twenty years..." Lin Feng began to share what he had just discovered about his background with He Ting. He had considered this carefully because he knew that He Ting had some connection to the matter. It was better to inform her in advance rather than keep it hidden.
"Ah, then..." Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, even though she knew things weren't that simple, He Ting felt a wave of surprise. So Lin Feng was the Lin Family Young Master? Did that mean he would help her investigate the Lin family?
This situation was precarious. Setting aside whether Lin Feng would continue to assist her, would she even allow him to keep investigating? He Ting couldn't help but question herself internally.
The answer was quite straightforward: no.
Firstly, He Ting didn't want to put Lin Feng in a difficult position. Secondly, his newly discovered identity was too sensitive. Continuing down this path would lead to too many uncertainties.
Thinking of this, He Ting also realized that the investigation into the Lin family would probably have to be put on hold for now.
Without Lin Feng's help, He Ting truly didn't know how to continue the investigation. After all, this matter was merely He Ting's personal desire to investigate; it wasn't an official duty at all. She had made this clear to Lin Feng from the beginning.
At that time, Lin Feng had nothing else to do, so he agreed. However, unexpectedly, while they couldn't uncover much about the Lin family, they did manage to discover Lin Feng's background.
Well, that could be considered a fortunate accident, right?
"So what are your thoughts?" He Ting decided to set aside official matters for the moment and asked Lin Feng.
After all, besides collaborating with Lin Feng, He Ting also considered him a friend. In fact, this was one of the reasons why Lin Feng agreed to her request to investigate the Lin family.
"I... I can't accept it for now," Lin Feng said after some thought. He decided to be honest; this was also the reason he came to find He Ting. No matter how powerful Lin Feng was, he was still a party involved in this matter. And no matter how strong a person is, when faced with such issues, as long as there are feelings involved, they won't remain unaffected. At times like this, one needs the understanding of friends.
"Do you hate them?" He Ting asked, having an idea of Lin Feng's considerations.
"Hate? Actually, I know that back then they must have had their reasons; otherwise, they wouldn't be trying so hard to find me now. But does having reasons justify abandoning me? If Foster Mother hadn't taken me in, would I be alive today?" Lin Feng sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with a vacant expression.
"I understand. So what do you plan to do?" He Ting knew that Lin Feng was struggling internally and could only continue asking.
"What should I do? What do you think I should do?" Lin Feng suddenly seemed awakened by He Ting's question and looked at her in return.
"Lin Feng, although I haven't experienced something like this myself, I know that it's best for outsiders not to intervene casually in such matters. After all, we are not you and cannot know what you're truly feeling inside, right?" He Ting couldn't provide any answers at this moment and could only say that.
"Then if you were me, what would you do?" Lin Feng asked again.
"There are no ifs, Lin Feng. I can be sure that you may not necessarily hate them, but you definitely have some rejection towards them in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me to say these things. I could have used you to continue investigating the Lin family, but I don't want to and I won't. The mission is temporarily halted. I am your friend now. Although I can't give you advice, I can stay with you until you figure things out, okay?" He Ting decided to share her thoughts with Lin Feng at that moment.
"Okay, I see I wasn't wrong about you, He Ting. Do you have any alcohol here?" Lin Feng stared at He Ting for a long time before asking.
"Yes, I'll go get some," He Ting replied. She didn't usually drink much herself, but she would occasionally have a little. Now that Lin Feng wanted to drink, she naturally had to accompany him.
Before long, He Ting brought the wine to Lin Feng, poured him a glass, and then handed it to him.
Lin Feng took the wine and downed it in one go.
Seeing this, He Ting also drank hers in one gulp.
This was red wine, and although He Ting knew it could hit hard later, she still drank along with Lin Feng.
After finishing one glass, Lin Feng fell silent, put down his glass, and then picked up the whole bottle of red wine and blew into it.
Although it was a waste of good wine, Lin Feng didn't care too much at the moment.
Noticing this, He Ting didn't stop him; instead, she just watched from the side.
Through their interactions during this time, she understood that despite Lin Feng's carefree exterior, there was always an inexplicable sorrow within him. He Ting wanted to know more about it, but every time she tried to dig deeper, Lin Feng skillfully concealed his feelings, leaving her with no chance to touch the depths of his heart. Now that he was willing to open up to her, she wouldn't stop him. After all, it was just a bottle of wine; given He Ting's background, even a case wouldn't make her blink.
She was not just an ordinary police officer; her background was such that if Lin Feng became the Young Master of the Lin family, she was equally impressive in her own right.
Before long, Lin Feng had finished the entire bottle of wine. Perhaps he genuinely wanted to get drunk this time; he didn't use any Internal Energy to sober up and simply drank himself into oblivion.
It was a very simple thought, so after Lin Feng had drunk several bottles, he was truly drunk.
It was his first time getting drunk since his rebirth.
Seeing Lin Feng completely intoxicated, He Ting could only move him to the bed, wipe his face with a warm towel, and cover him with a blanket.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had a good tolerance for alcohol; being drunk just meant he would sleep, without any violent outbursts or making a mess.
Looking at Lin Feng, who despite being in a dream still had his brows tightly furrowed, He Ting felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart and even shed tears.
She knew that even when drunk, Lin Feng was still troubled.
At that moment, Lin Feng's mobile phone rang, and He Ting, lost in thought, was jolted awake by the sound of the ringtone.
Seeing the name on the mobile phone, He Ting suddenly felt a surge of anger; the name displayed was: Lin Mei.
He Ting was naturally familiar with Lin Mei. To investigate the Lin family, she could only start with the Golden Dragon Group, and Lin Mei was the president of that group, so she had gathered quite a bit of information about her.
But at this moment, her anger was directed at Lin Feng.
