"Well, the environment is quite nice." Upon arriving there, Lin Feng looked around the small apartment and found it indeed pleasant. Although it only had two bedrooms and a living room, it was sufficient for Dong Jie to stay temporarily. A larger place would feel stifling for just one person.
"It really is nice. Hey, Li Zhong, how did you manage to get such a place so quickly? The rent must be considerable," Dong Jie asked Li Zhong, who had just mentioned finding her a temporary place to stay.
Due to her connection with Lin Feng, Dong Jie had become quite familiar with Li Zhong and knew he was someone Lin Feng trusted, so they had become casual friends.
"Well... Sister Dong, this isn't a rental," Li Zhong glanced at Lin Feng and seeing his curiosity, he continued.
"Oh, it's not a rental? Did you buy it? I mean, it's only been less than an hour since you got here; how could you buy such a nice place on short notice?" Lin Feng's curiosity grew with Li Zhong's response.
"No, even Wolf Gang has his limits; he couldn't find such a place in a hurry. Well, Feng Shao, let me be honest. This was prepared by Wolf King and the others because they saw that Sister Dong was still living in the store," Li Zhong explained when he noticed the puzzled expressions on both Dong Jie and Lin Feng's faces. He felt he couldn't hide anything from Lin Feng.
"Haha... I wondered why everything here seemed so perfect for you. The house shows no signs of previous occupancy, and the decor is tailored to your tastes. So all of this was prepared for Jie Jie," Lin Feng chuckled. It was amusing to realize that Wolf King had taken millions from him but still showed thoughtfulness by buying him a car and now a house as well. It turned out that Wolf Gang had purchased this place in advance.
What pleased Lin Feng the most was that not only was it discreet, but the environment was also excellent. Although it was part of a larger complex, the residents were primarily white-collar workers—some renting and some owning their apartments. Many were fresh graduates from university, creating a cultured atmosphere with a hint of sophistication.
Overall, this place was very suitable for Dong Jie. Not only could she stay temporarily, but it would also be great for long-term living. The way it was hidden in plain sight was quite clever.
After helping Dong Jie organize some belongings, everything had been prepared according to her preferences. The bedding and other essentials were already purchased; she just needed to bring some personal items before moving in.
Dong Jie was thoughtful and had brought many personal items with her this time, so she wouldn't need to go out shopping right away. Besides, there was a department store nearby where she could buy anything else she needed.
However, Lin Feng still advised Dong Jie to avoid being seen too often for now. Although the place was discreet, if she frequently showed up in public, there was always the risk of attracting unwanted attention from those with ulterior motives.
Dong Jie understood this concern and assured Lin Feng not to worry.
"By the way, Li Zhong, you should pick a young girl to accompany Jie Jie. She doesn't have to be very smart, but she must be very reliable. This way, Jie Jie won't feel bored here, and sometimes when she needs to buy something, the girl can help her out. It's more convenient with a girl around." On this side, Lin Feng wanted Dong Jie to stay in as much as possible, while on the other side, he instructed Li Zhong to find someone to take care of Dong Jie's daily needs. Now that they had money, Lin Feng naturally couldn't let Dong Jie suffer.
"Yes, the Wolf King and the others have already arranged this. I was just about to bring it up with you. Since you've mentioned it now, I'll send her over shortly." To Lin Feng's surprise, the Wolf King and his team had even considered this and had already found someone; they were just waiting for Lin Feng's approval.
In response, Lin Feng could only smile wryly but felt satisfied. The Wolf King and his team had not disappointed him; they knew how to handle things well.
Well, since everything was already arranged, Lin Feng didn't linger any longer. Although he wanted to stay here a bit longer, he knew that if he stayed too long, it might attract attention and expose Dong Jie's location, which was contrary to his intentions.
Dong Jie understood Lin Feng's concerns and suggested that he leave first.
Since Dong Jie had no objections, Lin Feng departed.
Li Zhong then went to escort the girl over to Dong Jie.
With both Lin Feng and Li Zhong gone, the house was left with only Dong Jie. Standing in the living room and looking at the small space she was in at that moment, Dong Jie felt that life was truly dreamy. Back when she first arrived in City B, a mid-level city, as a young girl all alone, her dream was simply to have her own place in this mid-tier city—even if it was a small one.
Now, Lin Feng had casually found her such a nice place with a good environment. Looking at everything around her, Dong Jie murmured to herself: "Lin Feng has really grown up; he knows how to protect others now and has the ability to do so. He’s no longer that little neighbor boy who used to come seeking refuge whenever he was bullied."
Then, Dong Jie's smile suddenly faded as she fell into deep thought. She spoke again softly: "Unfortunately, Lin Feng, Jie Jie can only love you secretly in this lifetime because of her unfortunate fate. Please don't blame Jie Jie."
A fate that seemed cursed had trapped Dong Jie's love; it showed just how deeply she cared.
Lin Feng was unaware of all this. At that moment, he was wandering around City B. He couldn't go to see Dong Jie for fear of attracting unwanted attention; for a moment, he really didn't know where to go.
Just then, while Lin Feng was unsure of his next destination, his phone rang.
Since returning to City B, Lin Feng had reactivated his old phone number because not many people knew his number from A City. He was worried that if someone needed to contact him and couldn't reach him, so he activated his number in City B.
Taking out his phone from the Lord of the Rings, Lin Feng realized that the person calling him was his roommate—Fatty.
"Hello... Fatty, why are you suddenly calling me?" Lin Feng answered the phone and asked.
Fatty hadn't seen Lin Feng for several days. Initially, he thought Lin Feng was just busy with something, but later he became anxious, fearing that something might have happened to Lin Feng. So, he dialed Lin Feng's number. To his surprise, he found out that Lin Feng's phone was turned off.
Well, although it was a bit unexpected for the phone to be off, Fatty could understand it. After all, there were times when he didn't want to be disturbed by the outside world and would turn off his own phone. Of course, more often than not, Fatty turned off his phone just to get some sleep.
It was fine if he couldn't get through once, but after three days of trying to call Lin Feng and finding the phone still off, Fatty started to panic. He knew that Lin Feng wouldn't just turn off his phone for no reason. Since it had been off for so long, it was obvious that something must have happened to Lin Feng.
Thinking of this made Fatty very anxious; he was almost ready to call the police. Every day he waited for Lin Feng's call while trying to reach him, but Lin Feng's phone remained off.
In the end, Fatty had no choice. As a student with no connections and no money, he really didn't know how to find Lin Feng at that moment.
Helplessly, he could only call Lin Feng every other day, hoping that Lin Feng's phone would turn on.
By the last day, Fatty was almost in despair. He habitually made a call each day, knowing the chances were slim but at least it gave him something to hold onto.
The bond between Lin Feng and Fatty was indeed deep; just because Lin Feng's phone was off, Fatty was so worried. If it were an ordinary classmate or roommate, they would have just sent a text expressing concern and left it at that. But Fatty genuinely worried about Lin Feng from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, Fatty's worries weren't unfounded. In recent days, Lin Feng had indeed encountered trouble and was on the run with Dong Jie. Naturally, he couldn't dare to turn on his original phone number. He didn't even dare to use his original SIM card to call Li Zhong.
Fatty initially thought that Lin Feng's phone would still be off as usual. He didn't expect that Lin Feng would answer so quickly; this caught him completely off guard.
"Hello, Lin Feng! Where have you been these past few days?" When Fatty heard Lin Feng's voice, he usually didn't think much of how pleasant it sounded. Now it seemed particularly melodious; even his tone of complaint startled Lin Feng.
"Where have I been?" Such a question felt a bit strange in their conversation; Lin Feng found it somewhat odd to hear.
"I say, Fatty, it's been a few days since we last met. Have you changed your personality? Why do you sound like a resentful woman from a secluded chamber? Let me tell you, if you've changed, that's your business, but don't drag me into it and make people misunderstand!" Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Fatty's voice, especially with the complaints that made him feel close. He knew that only true brothers would care so much about him not being online for a few days.
However, while he was touched inside, Lin Feng wouldn't say anything overly sentimental. He continued to tease Fatty without holding back.
Hearing Lin Feng's familiar teasing brought a sense of nostalgia to Fatty. At least Lin Feng's banter reassured him that nothing serious had happened; if something major had occurred, Fatty knew Lin Feng wouldn't be in the mood to joke around.
"I say, you're not acting like a brother. I'm genuinely concerned about you, and you take the opportunity to mock me." Despite the warmth of their friendship, their banter was far from casual; neither would easily concede defeat. So at this moment, Fatty shot back with his own retort.
This was typical of the daily exchanges between Lin Feng and Fatty. Whenever they met, they would engage in friendly banter, but their friendship deepened through this playful rivalry. Perhaps this was the unique nature of male camaraderie.
"So where have you been these past few days? How come your phone has been off for so long?" After their playful exchanges, Fatty asked the question that concerned him most.
"Hehe... I had some business out of town for a few days and lost my phone while I was away. Now that I'm back in City B, I'm getting my old SIM card replaced," Lin Feng naturally couldn't reveal the truth to Fatty. Some things were better left unsaid for his own good because knowing too much wasn't always beneficial.
"Damn it! You actually left the city! So tell me, was it for a girl?" Seeing that Lin Feng seemed fine and relaxed him greatly, Fatty pressed on with his questions.
"How could it be? Just handled some matters. I'm on the street now; I'll head back to school and talk more then," Lin Feng vaguely replied before preparing to hang up.
"Alright then, go back to school. I'll catch up with you once you're there," Fatty said as he realized Lin Feng was returning to school and decided to keep it brief before hanging up.
