Not bad, the response from the Song Family was quite quick, and Lin Feng was pretty satisfied. After all, Lin Feng couldn't wait too long for the Song Family; if they were slow to act, he might have to change the meeting place.
Although Lin Feng originally intended to settle everything here, he now held the initiative. He couldn't appear too eager; otherwise, it would give the Song Family the impression that he was impatient, which would hinder some of his plans.
However, no matter how fast the Song Family responded, they were still slower than Li Zhong. Before the people from the Song Family arrived, Li Zhong had already driven to Lin Feng's Western Restaurant.
"Feng Shao, sorry to keep you waiting." Li Zhong parked his car and quickly jogged over to Lin Feng's table. It seemed that he hadn't been slow on his way here either.
At that moment, Lin Feng had just finished his last piece of steak.
Lin Feng was quite pleased with Li Zhong's timely arrival. After all, in Lin Feng's plan, Li Zhong was supposed to arrive this quickly. Now that Li Zhong was here, it was up to the speed of the Song Family and Liu Family, or rather their level of urgency.
Once they became anxious, their pace would naturally quicken.
Lin Feng believed that neither the Song Family nor the Liu Family would be delayed by something like "traffic," as long as they wanted to come.
If they didn't want to come, then traffic could indeed be a valid excuse.
"Hehe... Li Zhong is here. Would you like a steak? I think the food here is pretty good," Lin Feng said casually while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Li Zhong almost collapsed from Lin Feng's casual remark. What time is it? How can I still think about eating Western food? Li Zhong thought to himself.
However, despite these thoughts, Li Zhong wouldn't voice them. After all, Lin Feng was his boss. While they were familiar with each other and could joke privately due to Lin Feng's easygoing nature and trust, in public and especially at such a sensitive time, Li Zhong would never express what he truly thought. He simply forced a smile and replied, "Feng Shao, I'm not hungry."
Lin Feng understood Li Zhong's anxiety at this moment. After all, they weren't aware of his strength, so it was normal for them to feel anxious. He decided not to tease him further and said, "Alright, you take Jie Jie and Chen Xinni back; I'll handle the rest."
"Yes, Feng Shao. What about Wolf King and the others?" Li Zhong naturally executed Lin Feng's orders without hesitation but then asked about Wolf King.
"You didn't come with them, did you?" With this mention from Li Zhong, Lin Feng recalled this crucial question and asked again.
The conflict between Lin Feng and the Song Family and his interactions with the Liu Family were all personal matters for him. The Wolf Gang was still too weak; to put it bluntly, their overall strength was far inferior to Lin Feng's. They could handle small tasks for him, but when it came to significant matters like confronting the Song Gang today, it wasn't that Lin Feng lacked confidence in the Wolf Gang; they simply couldn't stand against the Song Gang.
A casual strike from the Song Family could severely injure the Wolf Gang.
So, Lin Feng is currently trying to keep his relationship with Wolf Gang a secret, fearing it might affect their growth.
After all, if you make a baby constantly compete with an adult, it might just survive, but how can it grow?
"No, I drove a car in front while they followed behind. Although we kept in touch, others shouldn't know about my relationship with Wolf Gang," Li Zhong explained quickly, aware of Lin Feng's concerns.
"That's good, Li Zhong. You are very considerate," Lin Feng praised him for thinking ahead without needing special instructions.
"Thank you for the compliment, Feng Shao. I wonder what arrangements you have next?" Li Zhong responded to Lin Feng's praise but soon expressed his own concerns.
"Take them away; I'll handle the rest. Also, have Wolf King and the others stay put and not get too close to the Western Restaurant. No one can act without my orders," Lin Feng commanded Li Zhong as he realized it was almost time.
Especially regarding whether Wolf Gang should get involved, Lin Feng made a serious decision again. Wolf Gang is still too weak and can only assist him with logistical work for now.
Of course, Lin Feng believes that soon enough, Wolf Gang will become his right-hand men. He has confidence in Wolf Gang and even more in himself.
"Understood." Li Zhong had already considered that Lin Feng might not want Wolf Gang exposed to the public eye. Now that he received confirmation from Lin Feng, he nodded in understanding.
After that, Lin Feng left Li Zhong's side. Earlier, when he saw Li Zhong arrive, Chen Xinni and Dong Jie went to the restroom together. They weren't actually going to use the facilities; they thought Lin Feng must have important matters to discuss with Li Zhong and decided to avoid interrupting.
Lin Feng didn't mind whether Chen Xinni and Dong Jie were avoiding him; since they chose to step away, he let them be. After all, knowing certain things wouldn't benefit them.
Sometimes, knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.
As Li Zhong sat down next to Lin Feng, it was clear he was waiting for Dong Jie and the others to return.
Perhaps sensing that Lin Feng and Li Zhong's conversation was nearing its end, Dong Jie and Chen Xinni entered the Western Restaurant without making Lin Feng wait long.
"Jie, you should leave with Li Zhong. He'll take you back," Lin Feng said when he saw them come out.
"Okay," both women replied without asking any questions.
Dong Jie didn't inquire further, which was typical of her character. She wasn't the type to demand clarity on everything. She understood that if someone wanted her to know something, she would find out without asking. Conversely, if someone didn't want her to know something, no amount of questioning would change that. Thus, Dong Jie wisely refrained from pursuing any questions.
But Chen Xinni was different. Not to mention that Lin Feng wasn't very familiar with her, just based on Chen Xinni's personality, as Lin Feng knew, she was the type of person who needed to find out everything clearly. So why was she suddenly so quiet?
Lin Feng had no idea that Chen Xinni possessed a heart more delicate and perceptive than most girls her age. At this moment, she naturally understood that Lin Feng might have something important to attend to; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked someone to take her and Dong Jie away first.
Knowing this, Chen Xinni naturally tucked away her curiosity.
Even though Lin Feng didn't know why Chen Xinni hadn't asked anything, since it was like this, he was happy to enjoy the peace and let Li Zhong take them away first.
"Lin Feng, I'll just leave in this big brother's car; you can drive that one," Chen Xinni said to Lin Feng before leaving.
"Ah? Oh, okay!" Lin Feng saw that Chen Xinni said so and felt no need to be overly polite. It was more convenient for them to ride in Li Zhong's car for him to drop them off.
Watching them leave, Lin Feng sat down again and continued to wait.
He knew that the Song Family members were about to arrive.
Sure enough, before Lin Feng could finish the juice he had just left in front of him, dozens of people entered the Western Restaurant in an orderly fashion.
Leisurely lifting his head, Lin Feng casually glanced over.
Seeing these people walk steadily, it was clear they had training. However, among them, Lin Feng only spotted one Inner Strength Expert. It seemed that Song Gang still didn't take him seriously enough.
Although Lin Feng was surprised that only one Inner Strength Expert had come from the other side, it didn't make him feel any particular way. This also indicated that Song Gang's understanding of him remained at the same level as before. This would benefit him in establishing his authority.
What surprised Lin Feng was that last time Song Xin had mobilized three Inner Strength Experts to kidnap Dong Jie. Why was it that now, with Song Xin in his hands, they only sent one Inner Strength Expert over?
From Lin Feng's current strength as an Inner Strength Expert, the one sent by the Song Family was indeed too weak; it looked like someone who had just recently broken through to Inner Strength Expert level.
Such a lineup was meant to rescue their family's young master? No wonder Lin Feng began to doubt Song Gang's attitude.
"Heh heh... you guys from Song Gang sure are quick," Lin Feng remarked. After all, Song Gang came from another city; arriving this fast was quite impressive.
The reason he spoke first was that Lin Feng didn't want others to seize the initiative again. This time, he wanted to direct a movie entirely on his own terms.
In the past, Lin Feng's interactions with Song Gang and Qian Bang were always passive. This ultimately led to Lin Feng having to take Dong Jie to City A to hide for a while, even though he managed to resolve the crisis with great difficulty.
This was not what Lin Feng desired. As someone who had been reborn, fate had essentially given him a golden opportunity. He had his own thoughts and dignity. Although he often said that "being flexible is the hallmark of a true man," he possessed a stubbornness and sense of dignity that made him unwilling to accept such a situation.
Those who achieve great things are often extraordinary individuals, and most of them have their own particular stubbornness.
As a strong person, Lin Feng naturally had his own form of stubbornness.
This was also why Lin Feng decisively chose to confront Song Xin when they unexpectedly met at the Western Restaurant. He was deeply troubled by the incident where Song Xin had forced him and Dong Jie to jump off a cliff together; it weighed heavily on his mind. He needed an outlet for his frustration, and Song Xin was not the only target for his release. He knew that if it weren't for Song Gang, Song Xin would not have been able to carry out the kidnapping of Dong Jie.
Given this, Lin Feng decided to indulge himself fully. He believed that the scene he was about to direct would be spectacular.
Alright, let the show begin.
As the sixth actor entered, Lin Feng, both director and lead actor, was filled with anticipation for his revenge against Song Gang.
"Heh heh... Little brother Lin Feng, today the family head sent me here as a favor to you. Quickly release our Young Master. Regarding your beating of our Young Master, our family head has said that we can go easy on you," said the Inner Strength Expert sent by Song Gang, looking down at Lin Feng.
After speaking, he wore a proud expression. He felt both proud and helpless about being sent by the Song Gang Leader to handle matters with Lin Feng.
