"What? What happened to my sister?" Lin Feng was initially surprised to see Li Zhong here, but after hearing his words, he quickly set aside his astonishment and hurried over to ask.
"I, ah, there's no time. Let's go, we need to get in the car. I'll explain everything on the way," Li Zhong realized the urgency of the situation; if they delayed even a moment longer, it might be too late. He quickly pulled Lin Feng towards the taxi that had brought him here, speaking as he went.
Lin Feng wasn't foolish; he sensed the urgency and stopped questioning Li Zhong. He followed him to the taxi, and in his haste, he didn't have time to thank Su Xue and the others properly. He could only think that he would express his gratitude to them later when he had the chance.
Su Xue had come along out of curiosity after hearing that Lin Feng had been taken to the police station. She never expected that by helping him, he would no longer be so resistant towards her. She felt pleased with her decision to follow Ouyang Qian.
At least from her perspective, Lin Feng agreeing to pretend to be her boyfriend should not be a problem now since she had already helped him once.
However, seeing Lin Feng leave the police station being pulled away by a man without even saying goodbye made her feel displeased. She thought to herself that Lin Feng was being rather inconsiderate; if he was going to leave, he could at least say farewell—was he burning bridges?
Noticing Su Xue's displeasure, Ouyang Qian tugged at her hand and asked, "What's wrong, my dear Su? Are you upset that Lin Feng didn't say goodbye?"
"Exactly! We rushed over here knowing his situation, and he just leaves without a word. How could he do this..." Su Xue admitted her feelings when she saw that Ouyang Qian had noticed.
But what Su Xue didn't realize was that Ouyang Qian interpreted her expression as being upset with her boyfriend for not saying goodbye, feeling unappreciated.
In fact, Ouyang Qian wasn't particularly good at making connections either; she simply recalled Su Xue's earlier comment about Lin Feng being her boyfriend and linked the two together, interpreting Su Xue's feelings as being upset with her boyfriend.
"Hehe... Are you mad at your boyfriend?" Ouyang Qian teased Su Xue.
"I... boyfriend? What boyfriend?" Su Xue was still processing it all.
"Lin Feng! Didn't you just say that Lin Feng is your boyfriend?" Ouyang Qian explained.
“Lin Feng? Oh, I see, Sister Ouyang, things are not as you imagine.” Su Xue didn’t expect her words to be mocked by Ouyang Qian, and quickly explained. However, recalling her earlier declaration in front of everyone that “Lin Feng is my boyfriend,” she felt a bit at a loss for words.
Originally, Su Xue claimed that Lin Feng was her boyfriend in front of Hong Sheng because this fake boyfriend was meant to be seen by Chen Zisheng and her father.
Since she wanted her father to know, it was necessary to convey this message through Hong Sheng, the Mayor's Secretary, so that the Mayor would first learn that his daughter already had a boyfriend, who even got into trouble with the police for her. This way, perhaps Chen Zisheng would stop pursuing her.
This is why Su Xue stated in front of everyone that Lin Feng was her boyfriend. It was also a clever, impromptu decision made by Su Xue after seeing everything unfold, but she didn’t expect Ouyang Qian to tease her about it at that moment.
“Let’s ignore him. Come on, gossiping Ouyang Qian, I’ll tell you all about my story with him.” Since she couldn’t explain here and wouldn’t be able to clarify anything, Su Xue decided to take Ouyang Qian back to her apartment and explain everything from start to finish there.
Meanwhile, after getting into the car with Li Zhong, before he could settle in, Lin Feng immediately asked, “You just said my sister is in trouble. Is it about Dong Jie, the owner of that self-service store?” Although he suspected that Li Zhong was indeed referring to Dong Jie, he still asked for confirmation.
“Yes, it’s that Dong Jie. I just saw Huang Sheng go into your sister’s shop,” Li Zhong replied quickly upon noticing how tense Lin Feng was. He knew how significant Dong Jie was in Lin Feng’s mind.
“Who is Huang Sheng?” Lin Feng continued to inquire.
“Oh, I forgot you don’t know who Huang Sheng is.” Only then did Li Zhong realize he hadn’t explained who Huang Sheng was or his suspicions regarding any potential schemes involving him. He continued to elaborate.
He described what kind of person Huang Sheng was and shared what he had heard about the dealings between Huang Sheng and Heizi. After finishing his explanation, he fell silent.
It must be said that Li Zhong was quite clever; although he was merely speculating, his deductions were not far from the truth.
Even though he hadn’t known Lin Feng for long, he understood him well enough. He knew that as long as he conveyed the whole situation to Lin Feng, he would naturally know what to do without needing further input from him.
“Damn it, this scumbag! Driver, hurry up! I have urgent business. Here’s a thousand bucks; just get me there as fast as you can, and this money is yours.” After hearing what Li Zhong said, Lin Feng couldn’t help but curse. He realized how critical the situation was and pulled out a thousand yuan from his pocket to hand to the taxi driver, urging him to rush toward Dong Jie’s self-service store.
However, just as Lin Feng handed the money to the taxi driver—who happily accepted it—he became very frustrated upon realizing that the road they were on was congested. It was around nine o'clock in the evening, and traffic jams on major roads in a mid-level city like City B were quite common.
In this day and age, isn't it common to be stuck in traffic?
Well, it's come to this; not to mention walking quickly, just being able to drive like usual would be a blessing.
"Driver, is there another route?" Lin Feng certainly couldn't wait here and asked.
"There isn't. This is the only road. Here, this is your one thousand yuan; I can't take it," the Driver shook his head and replied. Although he wanted to take Lin Feng's money, seeing Lin Feng's fierce expression due to Huang Sheng made him cautious. He knew Lin Feng wasn't targeting him, but he still carefully returned the money.
"Li Zhong, you wait here; I'll go ahead, and you follow me," Lin Feng ignored the Driver. At that moment, he wished he had wings to fly directly to Dong Jie. He had no time to argue with the Driver over a thousand yuan. He opened the car door and got out, simply instructing Li Zhong as he left.
"Oh!" Li Zhong quickly agreed, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng was already out of the car.
Meanwhile, on the road, He Ting was riding her Motorcycle towards Lin Feng's direction; it seemed they were headed the same way.
At that moment, Lin Feng wanted to find a chance to get a small Motorcycle to weave through the traffic. Although the road was blocked for cars, a Motorcycle could maneuver through the gaps and still get through.
It seemed that Lin Feng had to find one right there on the spot, whether by buying or taking it; at this moment, he couldn't care less about that.
When Lin Feng saw He Ting—specifically her Motorcycle—his face lit up with surprise. He didn't even think about their previous friction at the police station and rushed over without consulting her. He jumped onto the back seat of her Motorcycle and said, "Captain He, I have an urgent matter at home; hurry up, I'll guide you."
He Ting was both amused and annoyed. Lin Feng's words reminded her of times when she borrowed vehicles while chasing thieves. This guy actually dared to ask her for a ride and did so so confidently! If she didn't take him, would he just steal her Motorcycle?
