"Fishing? Lin Feng, what does that mean?" Dong Jie asked, not understanding Lin Feng's words.
"Sister Dong, Lin Feng has his own intentions. Let's just focus on our meal," Chen Xinni advised Dong Jie, who was puzzled by Lin Feng's meaning. Chen Xinni had seen enough of the darker sides of society to understand.
Lin Feng was unsure how to explain to Dong Jie, or perhaps he simply didn't want to delve into those matters with her. He tried to shield her from the darker aspects of life. The psychological impact of the kidnapping incident involving Song Xin and Dong Jie must have been significant. Although Dong Jie appeared unaffected on the surface, Lin Feng knew that she was suppressing her fears for his sake.
If a single kidnapping incident could cause such psychological distress for Dong Jie, how much more would other issues affect her? Therefore, Lin Feng preferred that she not be exposed to these dark realities; he would bear the burden himself.
This was why Lin Feng found it difficult to explain things to Dong Jie, but he couldn't openly share this reason with her. Fortunately, Chen Xinni's words provided him with a way out.
Lin Feng's impression of Chen Xinni had fluctuated; he initially disliked her but later came to see her as a friend after receiving her help. He even assisted the Chen Family, enhancing their reputation in the Gambling Stone World.
However, as they were about to leave A City and return to City B, a mid-level city, Lin Feng noticed that Chen Xinni's attitude towards him had become ambiguous again. Thus, he deliberately avoided her. Now, while he was troubled about how to explain things to Dong Jie, Chen Xinni had thoughtfully come to his aid. At this moment, Lin Feng felt he couldn't quite read Chen Xinni anymore.
Regardless, Lin Feng still cast a grateful glance at Chen Xinni and thought to himself, "Although this meal I’m treating Chen Xinni to is a bit expensive, it’s worth it."
Seeing Chen Xinni speak up and noticing Lin Feng's hesitance made Dong Jie realize that this was not the right time to ask questions. She decided not to pursue it further and began waiting for their Western meal.
However, when Dong Jie saw how quickly Chen Xinni grasped Lin Feng's meaning while she needed Chen Xinni's reminder to understand it herself, she felt somewhat inadequate. Yet she kept these feelings hidden inside and would never express them outwardly.
Strangely enough, because Dong Jie was aware of her unfortunate fate in relationships, she didn't dare hope for a future with Lin Feng. In fact, during her interactions with Chen Xinni in A City, she had once considered trying to matchmake Lin Feng and Chen Xinni when she sensed that Chen Xinni might have feelings for him. But now that she realized Chen Xinni understood certain aspects of Lin Feng better than she did, she couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort—or perhaps jealousy—towards Chen Xinni.
This feeling came from deep within her heart; even Dong Jie herself couldn't explain why it arose. Yet it emerged so naturally within her.
To explain this sentiment might only be possible with the phrase "you can't guess a girl's thoughts." Women and girls sometimes have very strange and contradictory feelings inside them; yet despite these contradictions, they coexist harmoniously.
Without mentioning how strange the girl's thoughts were, Lin Feng saw Chen Xinni helping him out and decided not to discuss the topic any further. Instead, he began to wait for the arrival of their Western meal.
At this moment, the staff at the Western Restaurant were already aware of what Lin Feng had done, but they dared not take any action. They all knew that the person who had been beaten into a pulp by Lin Feng was none other than Song Gang's Young Master Song, Song Xin. Normally, if they knew that Young Master Song from Song Gang had been attacked, they could simply make a phone call to inform Song Gang or pass along a message. That would surely earn them some gratitude from Song Gang, which was quite tempting. However, just thinking about how Lin Feng had the audacity to beat up Young Master Song made them quickly dismiss any thoughts of alerting Song Gang. Instead, under the Lobby Manager's subtle hints, they continued to act as if nothing had happened, serving Lin Feng and his companions. In their eyes, Lin Feng was also a distinguished guest not to be offended.
As for why they recognized Song Xin's identity, it was because he had committed numerous misdeeds in City B under the name of Young Master Song from Song Gang. Song Xin's name had become notorious in City B, and the Lobby Manager had even had the fortune of meeting him at a high-profile event and hearing about his reputation.
All of this was such a coincidence that it came together in this way.
Lin Feng hadn't expected that the Lobby Manager of this Western Restaurant would be so perceptive. However, seeing that there was nothing unusual in the restaurant, he dismissed the idea of changing venues and decided to solve his hunger issue here first.
As for whether eating Western food here would be too ostentatious, Lin Feng chose to ignore that concern. He could have vented his frustrations by beating up Song Xin in the restroom and then used Internal Energy on him to turn him into an idiot. Yet, Lin Feng did not do that; instead, he left him looking like a pig's head and dragged him out. After dragging him out, he carelessly tossed him like a dead dog not far from his table. All of this was intentional on Lin Feng's part; he wanted the Song Family to know that he had returned—returned for revenge.
Thus, Lin Feng felt quite expectant, hoping someone would inform the Song Family. It would be best if people from all directions gathered at this Western Restaurant so that he could settle things with the Song Family.
However, if people from the Song Family really did come, could Lin Feng withstand them all by himself with his current strength?
Lin Feng had thought about this question too, and the conclusion left him somewhat disappointed: he could not.
Since he couldn't handle them alone, why did Lin Feng still choose to act this way?
Lin Feng was not foolish; some things required a gamble, but more often than not, strategy was needed. He had already begun formulating his plans when preparing to deal with Song Xin.
Before long, a waiter from the Western Restaurant brought over the dishes ordered by Lin Feng's table. Their attitude was incredibly sincere, and their service was exceptionally attentive—so much so that Lin Feng began to wonder if he had some sort of VIP status at this Western Restaurant he had randomly chosen on a whim; otherwise, why would their attitude be so good?
Not only did they set everything up and open a bottle of red wine for him, but they also sent over desserts along with it. Moreover, Lin Feng couldn't understand why that fairly attractive female waiter wanted to tie a napkin around his neck. Although Lin Feng didn't particularly enjoy Western cuisine or eat it often, it didn't mean he didn't know how to eat it.
Isn't it common sense to place a napkin before having Western cuisine?
Well, anyway, since the service was attentive, Lin Feng decided to overlook that and focus on filling his stomach first.
Thus, a Western meal unfolded amidst Lin Feng's confusion. However, both Lin Feng and Dong Jie were preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't talk much, while Chen Xinni kept the conversation going to avoid an awkward silence.
Lin Feng felt guilty about this; he had suggested coming out for a meal to welcome himself, but now it was Chen Xinni who was trying to lighten the mood. Despite his guilt, Lin Feng was still thinking about what might happen later and how he should make appropriate decisions and handle those situations. These were things he needed to consider carefully.
At that moment, Lin Feng truly had no mood to engage in conversation with Chen Xinni and the others. Moreover, with Song Young Master sitting nearby like a dead dog, Lin Feng figured they wouldn't be in a good mood either.
Lin Feng admitted that he had overlooked certain details in handling this situation, such as not considering Dong Jie and Chen Xinni's emotional capacity to accept it. Fortunately, it seemed that both Dong Jie and Chen Xinni were still managing well.
After Lin Feng finished his Western meal, he noticed that Song Gang's people still hadn't arrived. This surprised him; he never expected the Lobby Manager of this Western restaurant to be so competent as to not spread the news.
Since Song Gang hadn't arrived yet, Lin Feng had no choice but to implement his backup plan and add some pressure on Song Gang.
"Chen Xinni, can I borrow your mobile phone?" Lin Feng initially wanted to take a picture of Song Xin's current silly expression but realized that his own phone's camera wasn't very good. So, he shamelessly asked to use Chen Xinni's mobile phone for the photo.
As for calling her "Chen Xinni," although she opposed it, after Lin Feng called her that several times, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Sure, what do you need it for? Is your phone out of battery?" Chen Xinni readily agreed when Lin Feng asked to borrow her phone but was curious why he needed hers when he already had one.
"Does he want to get my phone number through this?" Chen Xinni couldn't help but let her imagination run wild, attributing an unfounded motive to Lin Feng.
However, Chen Xinni quickly felt disappointed when she saw Lin Feng immediately open the camera upon receiving her mobile phone and took several pictures of Song Xin.
The High-End Smartphone is indeed quite impressive, boasting high resolution. Although it cannot compare to a Digital Camera, it is sufficient for Lin Feng to clearly see Song Xin's current pig-headed expression.
After taking several pictures from different angles, Lin Feng began to open the album to make his selections.
“Lin Feng, don’t!” Initially, seeing Lin Feng taking photos made Chen Xinni feel disappointed, but she hadn’t thought of a particular issue. Now, noticing that Lin Feng had stopped taking pictures and was doing something with his Mobile Phone, she felt confused. However, she quickly regained her composure and loudly tried to stop Lin Feng.
What do we usually do after taking pictures with a Mobile Phone? It’s quite normal; in fact, some people have developed a habit of opening their albums to check how their recently taken photos turned out.
These actions are all typical, but at this moment, the photos in Chen Xinni’s Mobile Phone were somewhat unusual.
Why were they unusual? Because there were certain photos in Chen Xinni’s album that should not be seen by others, especially not by Lin Feng.
“What’s wrong?” When Lin Feng heard Chen Xinni shout like that, he looked up and asked her.
However, while asking, Lin Feng did not stop scrolling through the album on his Mobile Phone.
So, in the next moment, when Lin Feng glanced at the screen of his Mobile Phone, he understood why Chen Xinni had shouted to stop him.
At that moment, Lin Feng stumbled upon some of Chen Xinni’s personal artistic photos.
What are personal artistic photos? You can figure that out for yourself!
