Alright, even though Kong An has been dealt with, Lin Feng does not believe that the matter is over. After all, Kong An is just a pitiful pawn; the real trouble lies with Xu Li, who is pulling the strings behind Kong An.
Thus, Lin Feng still has to face Xu Li.
Of course, Lin Feng is not going to be intimidated by Xu Li now. Last time, under the guise of a Bodyguard, Lin Feng dared to slap Xu Li, and now that he knows his true identity, he has even less reason to care about her.
Sure enough, right after Lin Feng had just taught Kong An a lesson, Xu Li approached him.
“Lin Feng, do you know where this place is?” Xu Li shouted as soon as she arrived.
From her demeanor, it seemed like Xu Li was standing on a moral high ground, questioning Lin Feng.
“Oh, what kind of place is this?” Lin Feng smiled and casually looked around before asking.
Lin Feng really does not care about who Xu Li is. To be honest, she is just one of those people who relies on her wealthy family to make life difficult for others—a complete social parasite. Naturally, Lin Feng has no reason to fear her.
Or rather, he cannot find any reason to be afraid of her.
If he can disregard the Lin family, why should he care about a woman from the He Family?
“You…” Xu Li was infuriated by Lin Feng’s attitude. She initially thought that no matter what, Lin Feng would feel uneasy about the situation. However, it turned out that he did not take it seriously at all. Now, Xu Li felt somewhat trapped.
But soon enough, Xu Li adjusted her mindset and said to Lin Feng: “Lin Feng, I don’t care how oblivious you are, but I must tell you that this is the territory of the He Family, and you cannot act recklessly here.”
Perhaps having been frightened by Lin Feng last time, this time Xu Li did not dare to assert her own identity directly but instead relied on the authority of the He Family.
So even if she is foolish, Xu Li knows that Lin Feng will not be intimidated by her. Although she refuses to admit it, after being beaten by him last time, she truly finds herself at a loss when it comes to dealing with him.
"Ha ha... It's time for the Xu family to speak at the He Family's event, right?" Lin Feng, not one to be easily intimidated, chuckled and replied.
"You..." Xu Li was momentarily speechless from Lin Feng's remark, but soon disregarded her hesitation and shouted, "Someone! Throw this little pest out!"
It must be said that although Xu Li was rather foolish, her status was well-known among the Ball attendees. As soon as she shouted, several security personnel responsible for maintaining order at the Ball rushed over to escort Lin Feng out.
Indeed, given Lin Feng's appearance, he hardly looked like someone of importance. The security guards were accustomed to dealing with influential figures in City J and were aware of who had connections. However, they had never heard of Lin Feng being one of them.
Seeing Lin Feng about to be thrown out by the security guards, Xu Li finally felt a sense of relief while simultaneously feeling pleased and fortunate: "It's a good thing I kept my distance from Lin Feng earlier; otherwise, I might have been slapped by him again."
Of course, Xu Li only thought this in her mind. If she were to voice it, she wouldn't be foolish enough to do so; after all, where would her dignity go if she said it out loud?
"Are you sure you want to throw me out?" Lin Feng asked with an unchanged expression as the security guards approached.
"Mr. Lin, we kindly ask for your cooperation," one of the guards said, feeling awkward about using force in front of so many people.
"Ha ha... How should I cooperate?" Lin Feng smiled and inquired.
"Please," the guards gestured seriously, indicating that they wanted Lin Feng to leave the Ball.
"Wait..." At that moment, He Ting, who had been watching the situation unfold, would not allow her family's security to remove Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng was a guest she had invited.
Moreover, regardless of whether Lin Feng acknowledged it or not, He Ting knew that he was recognized as Young Master Song of the Lin family. Therefore, whether out of concern for Lin Feng or consideration for the future of the He Family, she could not allow Xu Li to exploit the situation.
If Lin Feng were to leave the Ball hosted by the He Family just like that, it would solidify the notion that the He Family had expelled the future heir of the Lin family from their event. Thus, He Ting quickly intervened.
"Miss..." The security guards trembled upon encountering He Ting. If there was anyone among the He Family staff they feared most, it was definitely her. After all, everyone knew that if they offended the head of the He Family and it wasn't serious enough, they would simply be asked to leave. But if they angered this Little Witch from the He Family? Well, getting out safely would be considered a major victory.
After all, the head of the He Family could not possibly make things difficult for a mere staff member, but Miss He could not be judged by common sense. If she were offended, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What are you doing? At our He Family's ball, there's no reason to drive people away," He Ting said, not exposing Lin Feng's identity.
"This..." The head of security was suddenly put in a difficult position. He didn't know how to argue with He Ting; frankly, he didn't have the courage to do so. Fine, if the young lady said not to kick anyone out, then they wouldn't kick anyone out.
"He Ting, this is a freeloader. How could you let him stay?" Xu Li felt that her presence at the He Family was overshadowed by He Ting's interruption.
He Ting ignored her and, after stopping the security guard, completely forgot what she had just said to Xu Li and walked toward Lin Feng.
Xu Li was not willing to concede so easily. She approached Lin Feng and asked, "Lin Feng, what is your identity to attend this ball?"
"Hehe... Miss Xu, don't you know Lin Feng's identity?" At that moment, Lin Mei walked over and asked.
"What identity?" Xu Li hadn't expected Lin Mei to come over. Although she instinctively sensed that things might not be so simple, she still asked.
"Lin Feng is the Young Master of the Lin Family that we have been searching for over twenty years," Lin Mei announced seriously to everyone, who had already turned their attention toward her.
"What..." Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected that attending a ball would reveal such a secret about the Lin Family. It was truly unexpected.
Among those present, the most shocked was undoubtedly Xu Li. She felt as if she might faint; Lin Feng was actually the Young Master of the Lin Family!
Although the Xu Family and the Lin Family were of equal status, to put it bluntly, Xu Li was merely being groomed for a marriage alliance while Lin Feng was someone else entirely—the only third-generation heir of the Lin Family. This meant he was undoubtedly the future head of the Lin Family.
Thus, for the first time, Xu Li felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment for having just tried to make things difficult for Lin Feng.
The reason Lin Mei came over at this moment to acknowledge Lin Feng's identity was naturally at the behest of Old Man Lin. Therefore, upon hearing this, Lin Feng did not look at Lin Mei but instead turned his gaze toward Old Man Lin.
Their eyes met directly without flinching or avoiding each other.
However, at this moment, there was nothing but affection in Old Lin's eyes.
This elderly man had worked hard all his life, and now his only hope rested on Lin Feng. He didn't need to be stern with his grandson because he knew he owed him that much.
Seeing Old Lin's expression, the words "I don't care" that were on the tip of Lin Feng's tongue were swallowed back. Regardless of whether he acknowledged him or not, Lin Feng felt that if he embarrassed the old man at this moment, he would surely feel guilty.
So, Lin Feng remained silent and then left the Ball.
Immediately after, Lin Mei followed him out.
Lin Feng disregarded everything and walked straight out of the He Family Villa. He knew he didn't want to stay there any longer.
"Lin Feng, Grandma wants to see you," Lin Mei said as she caught up with him.
"Grandma wants to see me?" Lin Feng hadn't planned on responding to Lin Mei, but upon hearing her words, he stopped and turned around to ask.
"Yes," Lin Mei nodded affirmatively. She knew that at this moment, perhaps only Grandma could make Lin Feng want to see someone.
Suddenly, a memory from his two lifetimes—of being cherished by a family member—floated into Lin Feng's mind. He realized that since he became aware of himself, only Grandma had ever appeared in his thoughts, and she was the only one he felt a connection to among his relatives.
"Give me the car keys," Lin Feng decided in his mind and said to Lin Mei.
"Forget it; I'll drive instead," Lin Mei initially intended to hand the keys to Lin Feng but reconsidered after thinking about his driving style.
"Fine, then I'll take a taxi," Lin Feng replied without further discussion and walked away.
"Alright, I really can't do anything about you," Lin Mei said as she handed the keys to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the keys, started Lin Mei's car, and as soon as she got in, he immediately turned on the engine.
Lin Feng's action was a clear message to Lin Mei: the relationship they once had, a mix of friends and superiors, was now over.
In the past, Lin Feng would always wait for Lin Mei to say "let's drive" before he would start the car.
Lin Mei, being the intelligent woman she was, naturally understood his intentions from his actions. She knew what Lin Feng meant and had long anticipated this day would come. However, when the moment arrived, she still felt a pang in her heart, as if something she once possessed was about to vanish.
Lin Feng did not speed; instead, he drove steadily and parked smoothly at Lin Family Manor.
As he was about to get out of the car, Lin Feng looked at Lin Mei and asked, "Aren't you worried that my arrival will cause your status in the Lin family to plummet?"
"Heh... After meeting Grandma, you won't have this concern anymore," Lin Mei replied with a bittersweet smile.
"Oh?" Lin Feng was momentarily puzzled by Lin Mei's words, but he knew that even if he pressed her further, he wouldn't get any answers.
So, Lin Feng simply got out of the car and walked toward Grandma Lin's courtyard.
When he reached the entrance, Lin Feng found himself hesitating to cross the threshold as easily as he had during his last visit.
But in the end, Lin Feng stepped over the threshold and made his way to his grandmother's room.
