It is a dangerous act to casually show a hundred thousand dollars in a bar, but this is only true for ordinary people. For Lin Feng, he really doesn't care much about a hundred thousand dollars right now. Besides, this is the territory of the Wolf Gang, and Lin Feng believes that here, even if someone threw down a million, it would be completely safe.
As for whether Consort Zhang can safely leave the bar with the hundred thousand dollars, Lin Feng doesn't need to worry about that either. She is right behind him, and there is no one capable of robbing her of her money. Moreover, the Wolf King and his men are watching closely; at this moment, anyone other than Consort Zhang attempting to take that hundred thousand dollars would essentially be courting death.
Consort Zhang looked at the ten bundles of cash on the table in front of her. She didn't even need to count them to know it was a hundred thousand dollars.
However, she couldn't understand why Lin Feng just threw down the money and left. Wasn't he worried that she might run off with it?
Despite having many questions in her mind, Consort Zhang quickly counted the money and carefully placed it in her bag before leaving the bar to find Lin Feng.
Consort Zhang had studied accounting; although she had never counted this much real cash before, she had practiced with paper money in school. Therefore, she was quick and accurate in counting.
But when she walked out of the bar, she realized that Lin Feng was gone.
She was certain that she hadn't counted each bill but had merely flipped through the bundles quickly—at most taking ten seconds—and yet Lin Feng had disappeared so quickly.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do. Lin Feng was gone, but his money was still with her.
Helplessly, she could only stand at the entrance of the bar holding onto the money. She felt that since Lin Feng had given her the money, there was no reason for him to leave like this. So she tightened her clothes around her and held the bag containing the money close to her chest, waiting for Lin Feng to return.
Half an hour passed—she waited a full half hour but still did not see Lin Feng. Fortunately, although he hadn't come back, none of those petty thieves or troublemakers had shown up either.
Despite worrying about being robbed here, she believed that Lin Feng would return soon. The reason she remained standing there despite knowing there might be someone trying to steal her money was that she didn't know how to contact Lin Feng. She didn't want to take someone else's money without understanding the situation, even though she really needed it.
What she didn't know was that two hundred meters away on the second floor, Lin Feng was quietly watching her.
His phone rang, and without looking at it, he answered the call.
"Hello, Feng Shao. Those people have been dealt with. Surprisingly, there were three groups trying to rob Consort Zhang's money near our bar," came Li Zhong's voice from the other end. It was clear that Lin Feng had arranged for Li Zhong to secretly protect Consort Zhang and ensure that the money in her hands didn't fall into the wrong hands; this wasn't difficult for Li Zhong at all.
"Heh... where's a wolf that doesn't eat sheep? Alright, continue with your work," Lin Feng replied without surprise. This was exactly why he had sent Li Zhong to protect Consort Zhang discreetly.
After finishing the call, Lin Feng hung up. With a flick of his hand, his phone was already in the magical ring.
Then, with his hands casually tucked into his jacket pockets, Lin Feng effortlessly leaped down the stairs. Throughout the entire descent, his hands never left his pockets.
Of course, this was only the second floor, so it posed no challenge for Lin Feng, much like how an average person would jump down two or three steps.
"I should go check on that silly girl," Lin Feng thought. The closer he got, the wider the smile on his face became. He couldn't quite explain why he felt this way about his actions tonight, but he found it all very amusing.
The fact that he had made Consort Zhang wait outside the bar for half an hour was a small test.
After all, Lin Feng didn't know Consort Zhang very well.
Clearly, Consort Zhang had passed the test; just as Lin Feng had imagined, she stood there waiting for him.
"Silly girl, I'm here," Lin Feng said with a smile as he approached Consort Zhang, still with his hands in his pockets.
His tone suggested that he had known Consort Zhang for a long time.
Consort Zhang seemed surprised by Lin Feng's first words upon arrival. After a moment of astonishment, she appeared to understand something and replied, "I knew you would come."
The two shared an unspoken understanding; their conversation was anything but ordinary.
Next, Lin Feng helped Consort Zhang into the car, and they left the bar together. Interestingly, neither of them mentioned the matter of the hundred thousand dollars. Lin Feng did this intentionally; he knew Consort Zhang was also being deliberate about it.
"Have you decided which hotel to go to?" Lin Feng asked while driving.
"No," Consort Zhang nodded, her face growing redder as she spoke directly.
"Hehe... It seems I wasn't wrong earlier. You really are a silly girl," Lin Feng chuckled softly, noticing Consort Zhang's blush.
Consort Zhang remained silent; clearly, she wasn't skilled at getting close to a man.
Since Consort Zhang hadn't decided where to go, Lin Feng casually chose a Three-Star Hotel.
The Three-Star Hotel may not seem luxurious, but it is definitely clean and healthy, which is why Lin Feng selected this place.
After shutting off the engine, Lin Feng got out of the car, and of course, Consort Zhang got out as well.
"Let's get a room," Lin Feng said directly, stopping the car and addressing Consort Zhang.
"Um..." Consort Zhang tightened her grip on the bag filled with one hundred thousand yuan and replied softly.
No matter how low Consort Zhang's voice was, Lin Feng could hear her. Or rather, he wasn't really paying attention to what she said; in any case, Lin Feng walked into the hotel.
After all, it was a Three-Star Hotel. Although it wasn't particularly luxurious, it had all the necessary services. With the attentive service from the receptionist in the lobby, Lin Feng booked a double room.
Along the way, Lin Feng noticed that Consort Zhang kept her head down, and she was gripping her bag even tighter.
Lin Feng naturally noticed this detail but said nothing. He took the room key and walked away while Consort Zhang followed closely behind. For her, it was better to stay in the same room with Lin Feng than to be in the lobby where others might point and stare.
Even though they might not be pointing at her.
The room was on the second floor. After exiting the elevator, Lin Feng used the room key to open a door and walked in. Without a doubt, Consort Zhang followed him inside, and it seemed she mustered a lot of courage to lock the door behind her.
Sitting on the bed, Lin Feng remained silent as usual and gestured for Consort Zhang to sit on the bed as well.
Consort Zhang complied but kept a considerable distance between them, as she barely sat on one side of the bed.
Lin Feng smiled silently and was about to say something when Consort Zhang spoke first: "I want to know your name."
"Is that really important? Silly girl," Lin Feng replied somewhat perplexed, having called her "silly girl" throughout their interaction.
"Yes, it's very important. Even though I might be afraid to remember you later, I need to know your name," Consort Zhang finally raised her head and said firmly.
"Well. Here, this is my ID." Lin Feng said without any hesitation, handing his ID to her.
After a moment of hesitation, Consort Zhang picked up Lin Feng's ID.
"Your name is Lin Feng?" It seemed she was confirming; after looking at the ID, Consort Zhang scrutinized Lin Feng and then asked.
"Hehe... Do you think the photo on the ID doesn't look like me?" Lin Feng smiled again and asked. For some reason, he always felt that Consort Zhang looked quite cute at that moment.
"It looks very much like you. I see now, your name is indeed Lin Feng." Consort Zhang replied.
"Alright, now it's my turn to ask you. What is your name?" Lin Feng put away his ID and asked.
"My name is Consort Zhang... I didn't bring my ID." Consort Zhang said directly, but then seemed to recall Lin Feng's earlier action and added a comment.
"Hehe... I believe you. You should go take a shower first." Lin Feng said.
"I've already taken a shower. If possible, let's get started." Consort Zhang still had a cold expression as she spoke, clearly wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's begin. Now tell me why you're doing this in a bar. From my feeling, you seem to value what you're about to sell very much and cherish it." Lin Feng did not dwell on the shower issue and asked.
"I can't tell you that. I can only assure you that I have the qualifications to sell it to you." Consort Zhang's tone remained indifferent as she spoke.
"What if I insist that you tell me?" Lin Feng unusually pressed her at that moment.
"You... well, I'll tell you." Consort Zhang didn't expect Lin Feng to insist so firmly. She originally wanted to say, "Don't push too hard," but thinking about what she was about to do with Lin Feng, she felt there was nothing wrong with telling him, so she agreed to share what he wanted to know.
"Okay, I'm listening." Lin Feng nodded and said.
Thus, for the next part, Lin Feng became a pure listener, attentively listening to Consort Zhang's experiences while occasionally nodding in response.
By the end, Lin Feng noticed that Consort Zhang's eyes were slightly red, but he still did nothing—neither comforting her nor offering a tissue.
He didn't not want to, but he knew that now Consort Zhang was in a sensitive period, and he might inadvertently cause more harm than good.
Consort Zhang's story lasted for half an hour, and when she finished, Lin Feng understood why she needed the hundred thousand.
After hearing all this, Lin Feng had already made up his mind.
"Is a hundred thousand enough?" Lin Feng asked.
"That's about enough. I can also take on a part-time job," Consort Zhang said as she wiped her tears.
"Here is fifty thousand, and this is my business card. Take these, get a good night's sleep here, then go back and take care of your grandmother and study well. I'm leaving." Lin Feng would not do something that took advantage of someone in need, even though Consort Zhang would have given him whatever he wanted tonight.
But Lin Feng believed that what he wanted was something that Consort Zhang could not provide right now.
The reason for his actions might only be one: Lin Feng saw the shadow of Xie Wanting in her. Back then, that strong girl almost did the same thing as Consort Zhang, sacrificing herself for some reasons, although the methods were different. Lin Feng thought that experiencing such things once was enough.
Holding the other fifty thousand that Lin Feng had given her, Consort Zhang was momentarily stunned by his words and did not speak.
Watching Lin Feng gradually walk away, her eyes turned red again, and she called out to him, "Stop."
