"Find an opportunity to spread the news that I defeated Song Wu and Song Liu. Don't let anyone know it's you who leaked it. Can you do that?" After hearing Song Qi's story, Lin Feng began his collaboration with Song Qi.
Initially, Lin Feng planned to have Li Zhong handle this matter, but in the end, he felt it was also acceptable for Song Qi to take on the task. It was a good opportunity for Song Qi to demonstrate her sincerity in cooperating and would prevent Li Zhong from getting too involved, making it easier to extricate themselves later. It was truly a win-win situation.
"No problem, don't worry. In just three hours, I can make everyone in City B aware that you single-handedly defeated Song Wu and Song Liu," Song Qi confidently replied.
Since Song Qi was assured, Lin Feng didn't press further and focused on solving his lunch issue.
After listening to Song Qi's story and discussing important matters with her, Lin Feng realized he hadn't even started his meal yet and was already quite hungry.
After finishing lunch, Lin Feng didn't linger and left the restaurant.
With everything he needed to do completed, all that was left for Lin Feng was to wait for Song Gang and Qian Bang's response before deciding on the next steps.
As expected, Song Wu and Song Xin contacted Song Liu. He wasn't injured, and the three of them had no plans to meet in City B. They agreed to reconvene at Song Gang's headquarters before splitting into two groups to leave City B. Although Lin Feng had let them go, Song Wu and Song Liu sensed that things weren't as simple as they seemed. They felt uneasy about how easily Lin Feng had released them.
While they couldn't pinpoint the source of their unease, they were certain it didn't stem from guilt towards Lin Feng. Thus, both understood that their only option was to return to Song Gang's headquarters and report everything to Song Lie, hoping for his guidance. They realized they had foolishly followed the incompetent Song Xin.
Finally arriving at Song Gang's headquarters, Song Wu and Song Liu met up. Their thoughts aligned as they exchanged a few words before heading together to see Song Lie.
"You idiots! Where's Song Xin? Bring that brat here!" Upon hearing their account of events, Song Lie was furious. He slapped both of them and shouted.
"Calm down, Master. Young Master is currently in the hospital," said Song Wu, who accepted his punishment without protest and hurriedly went to support Song Lie while explaining where Song Xin was.
"Get out of my way! Do you think I've grown old enough that you dare ignore my orders? Now you remember he's in the hospital? You two go find him!" Song Lie scolded again before giving instructions.
Song Wu and Song Liu were waiting for this command from Song Lie. They wouldn't dare bring Song Xin to see him on their own; that would be considered insubordination regardless of right or wrong. But now that it was an order from Song Lie to fetch him, they could bring him along without fear of repercussions. This not only avoided any accusations of overstepping but also showcased their dedication to duty.
Soon, Song Xin was "invited" by the two.
Song Xin knew he had gotten himself into big trouble this time. Normally, according to his past behavior, he wouldn't return to Song Gang after causing trouble outside, because he knew that if he went back to Song Gang, he would face punishment from Song Lie. Staying outside would allow him to enjoy freedom, and with his mother’s influence at home, his father would eventually calm down and not pursue the matter further. Then he could continue to return to Song Gang as Young Master Song.
However, this time he dared not stay in the city where he had caused trouble, City B, a mid-level city. Instead, he obediently returned to the city where the Song Gang headquarters was located. Once there, to avoid his father, he checked into the hospital.
Speaking of which, this kid still hadn’t recovered from the injuries inflicted by Lin Feng last time; it was indeed time for him to be hospitalized.
“You reckless brat! I told you not to provoke Lin Feng. I have my own plans; why didn’t you listen? It’s all your mother’s fault for spoiling you,” Song Lie scolded when he saw Song Xin, his anger boiling over.
“It’s Lin Feng who is being too much,” Song Xin replied, knowing he was in the wrong but still trying to defend himself.
“Too much? If you hadn’t been targeting him all along, would he still be fixated on you? Now that you think you’ve grown wings, you don’t even listen to me anymore,” Song Lie felt helpless towards Song Xin. As a late-born son, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to physically punish him either. This was also why Song Xin had managed to escape punishment for his mistakes over the years.
At this moment, Song Xin simply acted like an ostrich, keeping his head down and saying nothing. He knew his father was genuinely angry this time and didn’t dare retort.
He also understood that he was the only male heir of the Song Family; his father would only scold him at most. Given his current injuries, it wouldn’t be suitable for him to be hit.
“Forget it. Go back to the hospital,” Song Lie said upon seeing Song Xin’s pitiful state. Sometimes he doubted whether Song Xin was really his son. You can be a wastrel, but when faced with problems, you should at least have some backbone. How is this anything like me?
“Okay.” Hearing Song Lie's words felt like a reprieve for Song Xin; he quickly agreed and left.
Seeing Song Xin's demeanor, Song Lie sighed deeply, filled with disappointment.
To be honest, Song Lie admired Lin Feng a bit. Regardless of their positions, if only his son had half of Lin Feng's qualities, he would be satisfied.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Song Lie sighed again: “What a pity!” At that moment, the pretty face of Song Qi appeared in his mind.
“If only Qi’er were a boy.” That was what Song Lie thought at that moment.
"Alright, things have happened. What do you think we should do now?" Song Lie asked, seeing that both Song Wu and Song Liu were also waiting for his decision.
"Please enlighten us, Leader," Song Wu and Song Liu replied in unison, as if they had agreed beforehand.
"Now you know I'm the leader? You fools," Song Lie said, feeling a surge of anger at their words.
"Hehe..." Song Wu and Song Liu could only respond with silly smiles.
"I have a question. Wasn't it easy for any Inner Strength Expert to force Lin Feng to jump off a cliff before? How has Lin Feng become so powerful now?" Song Lie continued to inquire.
"I don't know. It seems that after returning to City B, a mid-level city, Lin Feng has become formidable," Song Wu and Song Liu also pondered this issue but couldn't come up with any constructive conclusions.
"Returning to City B, making an appearance, then capturing Xin Er. But today, defeating both of you makes me worry that this is all part of Lin Feng's plan," Song Lie thought deeply and said.
"Really? If what you say is true, then Lin Feng is taking careful steps and intends to oppose our Song Gang?" Song Wu recalled many things upon hearing Song Lie's words.
"It’s likely not far from the truth. Lin Feng is not as simple as we imagined," Song Lie remarked with a sigh.
"I now feel that there might be someone behind Lin Feng, and that person is powerful," Song Lie continued before either Song Wu or Song Liu could speak, as if he were talking to them or perhaps just thinking aloud.
"Leader, are you suggesting that besides Lin Feng, there is someone even more formidable backing him?" Knowing how formidable Lin Feng was, Song Wu was startled by Song Lie's speculation. If just Lin Feng was so difficult to deal with, then the person behind him must be even harder to confront.
"Hehe... If there is someone behind Lin Feng, it wouldn't just be a simple individual; it could represent an entire force," Song Lie said with a bitter smile on his face.
"A force?" At this moment, both Song Wu and Song Liu were truly reluctant to believe it.
"And furthermore, it’s a force capable of turning Lin Feng into an Inner Strength Expert in a short period of time," Song Lie seemed determined to instill fear, pausing briefly before continuing.
"Hiss..." Both Song Wu and Song Liu were genuinely shocked. They recalled how they had foolishly thought themselves strong enough to trouble Lin Feng earlier that morning and felt quite childish.
Remembering Lin Feng's disdainful gaze when he let them go, they felt even more convinced by Song Lie's words.
"Well...," Song Wu and Song Liu truly didn't know what to do. Faced with a force so immense that it was absolutely beyond what Song Gang could compare to, they really couldn't muster the thought of opposing him.
"It's just a guess. Don't overthink it. For now, protect Xin Er and hold your ground. Let's observe the situation before making any moves," Song Lie said, revealing the calm demeanor of a leader.
"Understood, Chief," Song Wu and Song Liu could only comply.
Watching Song Wu and Song Liu leave, Song Lie looked up at the sky and murmured, "I hope my guess is wrong."
Meanwhile, over at Qian Bang, Liu Jie had also learned about Lin Feng defeating Song Wu and Song Liu alone that morning. While he was shocked, a sense of worry began to creep in.
If Liu Jie had been surprised when he saw Lin Feng defeat Song Ran last time, this time it was sheer astonishment.
After all, Song Ran was merely a martial artist who had just entered Internal Energy. Liu Jie was confident he could easily defeat him, but regarding Song Wu and Song Liu—two top experts even within Song Gang—Liu Jie knew he might have a chance against one of them. However, if both came at him prepared and worked together, he would definitely end up defeated.
And Lin Feng had defeated both without sustaining any injuries; this level of strength left Liu Jie feeling humbled.
Thus, realizing that Lin Feng's growth had surpassed his control, Liu Jie dialed his father's number.
"What's wrong? Jie Er?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the line—steady and powerful. Although he called Liu Jie "Jie Er," his tone carried significant authority.
It was clear that he held Liu Jie to strict standards.
"Dad, there's a situation here. It's like this..." Liu Jie reported the circumstances directly.
"Oh, he defeated Song Wu and Song Liu? This man is called Lin Feng?" Although Liu Jie's father sounded somewhat surprised, his tone remained calm. It seemed he was quite confident about someone being able to defeat both Song Wu and Song Liu together.
"Yes, he's twenty-one this year. Just six months ago, he was an ordinary student," Liu Jie noted that his father didn't seem overly shocked. While secretly admiring his father's high level of understanding, he continued to provide information.
"Oh..." This time, the voice on the other end of the phone clearly sounded surprised. Liu Jie knew that his father had begun to take Lin Feng seriously.
It was understandable; someone so young with such high cultivation could not be ignored.
"Jie Er, get ready. I'm heading to City B, a mid-level city, right now. We'll go meet this Lin Feng together." After a moment of contemplation, Liu Jie's father made his decision.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, Father." Liu Jie responded, seemingly unfazed by his father's decision.
Liu Jie's father was named Liu Fei. At this moment, he hung up the phone with Liu Jie and pressed an internal line in the room.
"What's the matter, Master?" A frail voice quickly came through the phone.
"Uncle Fu, please prepare a car for me. I need to make a trip to City B." Liu Jie seemed to hold a great deal of respect for the owner of that frail voice as he spoke.
"Understood, Young Master." The voice on the other end finished speaking and hung up the phone, clearly preparing to go.
Liu Fei didn't mind and stood up to walk outside.
