Last time, I instructed the Steel brothers to train hard so they could take the Forbidden Spring. Now that some time has passed, Lin Feng believes that the Steel brothers should be able to handle the effects of the Forbidden Spring.
"They've been really diligent lately, practicing every day except for eating and sleeping. I was worried that their intense training would wear them out, but those two are quite unusual; instead, they've managed to build up their strength and physique during this time." Wolf King spoke with excitement when mentioning the Steel brothers. Clearly, he understood that if the Steel brothers reached the level Lin Feng described, it would be a significant boost for Wolf Gang.
"Okay, I understand. I'll find time tomorrow to visit the Wolf Gang headquarters, bring you the money, and check on how those two are training," Lin Feng nodded in acknowledgment.
"Alright then, Feng Shao. Lao Jiang and I will take our leave now; we need some time to arrange what you instructed." Once their conversation concluded, Wolf King indicated it was time for them to go.
"Be careful on your way," Lin Feng replied without holding them back. His caution referred both to driving safely and to being wary of being followed.
"We know, we're off now. Feng Shao." The two clasped their fists in a gesture of respect before departing, displaying a bit of their martial arts culture.
"Feng Shao, do you have any other instructions?" Li Zhong asked upon seeing Lin Feng let Wolf King and Lao Jiang leave.
"No, I just want to find a place to sleep. I guess I'll just stay here for the night; it's almost dawn anyway," Lin Feng said as he looked at the sky, which was brightening up. He needed a few hours of sleep before heading to class.
"No problem at all, Feng Shao. You can take the bed; I'll sleep on the sofa." Li Zhong only had one bed available. Although it was a double bed, Lin Feng's status as his superior made it inappropriate for him to squeeze in with Lin Feng.
"Haha... Masters, why bother with that? We can make do for one night. Besides, I want to talk about your sister; it would help me have a target if I want to find her later." Lin Feng understood Li Zhong's intentions but felt uncomfortable taking over someone's bed and making them sleep on the sofa at night.
Moreover, since Li Zhong regarded him as a superior, Lin Feng considered Li Zhong as a brother too. In the military, sharing a large dormitory among brothers was what really felt cramped.
How could sleeping two people in this double bed be considered cramped?
After tidying up a bit, Lin Feng finally managed to get some sleep. Despite having strong Mental Power, he still felt tired without rest!
Lin Feng intended to talk about Li Zhong's sister, but after just a few sentences, he fell asleep. He was simply too tired, and his conversation with Li Zhong had been casual; Lin Feng already knew everything he needed to know.
Li Zhong had also been restless all night and soon fell asleep as well.
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Lin Feng asked Li Zhong to help him rent a place—something larger and in a more upscale neighborhood. He also suggested that Li Zhong should move as well; the current place was a bit too small for him now that he was considered the brain of the Wolf Gang and didn’t need to live in such cramped quarters.
It wasn't that Lin Feng was concerned about appearances; rather, he felt that since he had money, there was no need to be frugal where it wasn't necessary.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't think that having several million meant he was wealthy. His career hadn't even started yet, and several million wouldn't satisfy the ambitions of someone who had been reborn.
Without ambition, why would you want to be reborn?
Lin Feng wouldn't be using the Ferrari anymore; it would be too ostentatious for school.
School was a place for learning; only fools flaunted their wealth there. Money doesn't come from thin air; truly wise people understand how to earn money rather than how to spend it.
Anyone can spend money—it's just swiping a card; there's no need to learn that.
What needs to be learned is how to make enough money to spend.
Considering that Li Zhong's place was too remote and regular taxis wouldn't come here, Lin Feng had no choice but to drive Li Zhong's car to school.
Li Zhong's car was decent, a mid-range vehicle, and Lin Feng didn't have high standards when it came to cars. A good car was nice, but if there wasn't one available, any car that could run would suffice.
A man should appreciate good cars but doesn't necessarily need to own one. In life, bread is always more important than cars.
Of course, if you are financially secure, you can choose a nice car; these two things are not contradictory.
Driving Li Zhong's car, Lin Feng casually bought Soy Milk on the way to the hotel where Liu Jing and the others stayed last night. That girl got drunk last night, so she would probably feel terrible in the morning.
Although Chen Xinni was there to look after her, Lin Feng thought it would be better to check on her.
After all, Lin Feng was just too soft-hearted.
But isn't it not shameful for a man to be soft-hearted towards a woman?
It was still the same suite. Lin Feng pressed the doorbell.
Heard from inside were the sounds of slippers; someone must have gotten up.
"Who is it?" Chen Xinni's voice came through the intercom at the door, sounding like she had just woken up.
"It's me, Lin Feng," Lin Feng replied into the intercom.
"Ah!" Chen Xinni seemed surprised that Lin Feng had come, letting out an exclamation before putting down the intercom.
Lin Feng guessed that she must have rushed to open the door.
However, Lin Feng couldn't understand why she needed to be so excited.
"It really is you, Lin Feng! You even brought breakfast." At this point, Chen Xinni looked nothing like someone who had just woken up; if one had to say there was any sign of it, it could only be seen from her wearing a bathrobe.
Opening the door and seeing Lin Feng carrying breakfast, she immediately felt invigorated.
Lin Feng looked at Chen Xinni and regretted his sudden decision to check on her. Most importantly, couldn't she wear a bit more? Couldn't she fasten her buttons a little tighter?
From a certain angle, although he was aware that he shouldn't be looking, his eyes still caught sight of things he shouldn't see.
Feeling the warmth coming from the room, Lin Feng finally understood why Chen Xinni was dressed like that; the heating was on inside.
This point was something Lin Feng had overlooked after just returning from the cold outside.
Sensing Lin Feng's gaze, Chen Xinni guessed what he might have seen. Even she felt her face flush slightly, quickly lowering her head and daring not to look at him.
Seeing Chen Xinni's face turn red surprised Lin Feng, but he still walked in and found a place to set down the breakfast, giving Chen Xinni a chance to tidy herself up in the bathroom.
This way, neither of them would feel awkward.
After a while, Chen Xinni came out of the bathroom. However, it took her quite some time to change—almost half an hour.
Are all women like this? Lin Feng wondered.
During this time, Lin Feng had Tesla check on Liu Jing's condition. Everything was fine, so there was nothing to worry about.
Since Liu Jing hadn't woken up yet, Lin Feng didn't plan to disturb her and was about to leave.
"Lin Feng, are you leaving just like that?" Chen Xinni had just come out of the bathroom. With her somewhat melancholic expression and being in a hotel room, it all easily led to various thoughts.
It seemed like Lin Feng was in a situation at the hotel where he was trying to leave after spending time with a girl, but she wouldn't let him go.
"Well, class is about to start. By the way, thank you for last night," Lin Feng said, noticing something was off.
"No need to mention it. By the way, don't you want to know how I was able to track you last night?" Chen Xinni said with a hint of melancholy, seeing Lin Feng change the subject.
"I guess you used some kind of device," Lin Feng replied vaguely, not wanting to be too direct.
"Hehe... you're really smart. I knew you would figure out I was following you. It was a device my dad gave me; he originally intended for me to activate it when I was in danger. Last night, while you weren't paying attention, I stuck it on your car," Chen Xinni seemed pleasantly surprised that Lin Feng could guess.
Is that really called being smart? Lin Feng felt a bit speechless at Chen Xinni's praise.
"Hehe, that car is parked in a spot at the hotel, so you don't need it for now," Lin Feng said.
"Yeah, it's under the bottom of the trunk. Since you don't need that car for now, you can take it off yourself when you do need it. Sorry for the trouble," Chen Xinni said apologetically at the end.
Who is Chen Xinni? Lin Feng didn't expect her to apologize.
"It's fine, let's not talk about that." After all, she had taken care of Liu Jing for him all night; Lin Feng felt there was no need to hold a grudge about this.
Moreover, her actions last night had actually served as a reminder for Lin Feng. He never intended to blame Chen Xinni for this; otherwise, he wouldn't have intervened to save her from the scissors.
"By the way, Lin Feng, why did you pretend back at School?" Chen Xinni asked as she sensed that Lin Feng wasn't upset with her and began her inquiry into his past.
Lin Feng was taken aback by her question. Pretend? What did she mean?
Seeing Lin Feng not speaking, Chen Xinni thought he was unhappy about her calling him "fake," so she quickly explained, "It's just that I want to know why..." For a moment, she didn't know how to describe it.
"Ah, I mean, why do you have to pretend to be a country bumpkin?" Chen Xinni finally used the term "country bumpkin" to clarify her point.
Lin Feng finally understood that his performance last night was different from the impression he usually gave her at school, which is why she asked this question.
"Oh, you’re asking about this. I've always liked racing. Last night, Liu Jing's brother asked me to help him in a race, and I happened to win. He gave me a prize and that car; it's as simple as that. I wasn't pretending at all." Lin Feng could only explain this way; it was better not to go into too much detail with Chen Xinni.
"But how could you develop such driving skills without a car before?" Chen Xinni was like this; once she became curious about something or someone, she had to dig deep until she got to the bottom of it.
"I'll tell you this secretly, but you can't tell anyone else, okay?" Lin Feng said mysteriously.
"Okay, I promise not to tell anyone, and Su Xue won't know either." Chen Xinni quickly assured him when she saw Lin Feng was willing to share his secret. After all, she hadn't planned on telling Su Xue about what happened with Lin Feng last night.
She thought it would be best if no one in the world knew about Lin Feng's charm, so she could secretly get closer to him herself.
Of course, Lin Feng had no idea about her thoughts. First of all, he wouldn't guess what she was thinking; second of all, Chen Xinni wouldn't be foolish enough to let Lin Feng know about her little secret.
This girl—could this be love at first sight?

P.S.: Here's the second update; let's keep going!
