Today went smoothly, and it was even more exciting for Lin Feng because he unexpectedly managed to control two top experts from Song Gang. This was a source of joy for Lin Feng, and it was something he hadn't anticipated. Just thinking about having control over Song Xin, Song Ran, and even more formidable figures like Song Wu and Song Liu made Lin Feng want to hum with delight. After all, with these unaware individuals under his control, it would be much easier for Lin Feng to contend with Song Gang.
However, the only regret was that Lin Feng couldn't implant the "Soul Mark" into all the experts from the Song Family that he could control. While controlling people felt great, Lin Feng understood that there was a limit to how many he could manage. Until he made a significant breakthrough in strength, the number of people he could control would remain small. Therefore, if given the chance, the person Lin Feng most wanted to control in Song Gang was Song Lie.
Nonetheless, despite this regret, Lin Feng knew he shouldn't be greedy. Fate had already granted him a golden opportunity, and if he were allowed to control an unlimited number of people, the world would become too chaotic.
Thus, regarding his inability to control too many people, although Lin Feng felt a sense of loss, he focused more on how to make good use of these skills bestowed upon him by fate rather than complaining.
For instance, Lin Feng had no intention of controlling Song Qi for the time being. He believed that it would be more challenging and rewarding to earn her genuine respect rather than forcing her compliance. After all, Lin Feng was a man—and a strong one at that.
"Kid, you better think carefully. Are you really going to waste your chances of implanting 'Soul Marks' on such useless individuals?" Just as Lin Feng was pondering this issue, Tesla appeared and spoke to him.
In Tesla's eyes—who was even more arrogant than Lin Feng—Song Ran and Song Wu as well as Song Liu were all insignificant. He succinctly summarized them as "useless."
"Heh... It's a special time right now. Besides, I want to control strong individuals too, but strong people aren't so easy to control," Lin Feng replied with a smile, knowing that Tesla was always considering various matters for him.
"As long as you understand. Just make sure you handle it well. I'm just reminding you," Tesla clearly didn't want to discuss this matter further with Lin Feng. He knew that Lin Feng wasn't foolish; some things were better left implied to avoid annoyance. And at this moment, Lin Feng was the only person on Earth Tesla didn't want to irritate.
After all, whether Tesla could see the light of day again truly depended on Lin Feng.
Understanding Tesla's meaning, Lin Feng decided not to dwell on this issue any longer and dialed Song Qi's number.
"Hello..." It was clear that Song Qi was busy with something when she answered the phone but seemed preoccupied.
"Have you had lunch yet?" In a good mood, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask about Song Qi's well-being.
"I'm eating right now. What's up?" Song Qi sounded somewhat puzzled by Lin Feng's sudden question but answered truthfully nonetheless.
"Oh, I want to tell you something, but I haven't had lunch yet," Lin Feng said, realizing he hadn't eaten.
"Oh, I'm at the **Western Restaurant** right now. Do you want to come over? It's on me," Song Qi replied, knowing Lin Feng was just joking with her. She hadn't expected that she had been thinking about Lin Feng all along, and today it was Lin Feng who was thinking about her. Still, she said to him.
"Oh, that's great." Lin Feng was pleased to have a lunch plan and prepared to head over since Song Qi was treating him; it should be good.
In fact, Lin Feng didn't want to always be the one being toyed with by Song Qi; he wanted to take the initiative for once. After all, he was a man, and sometimes men like to be a bit proactive.
"Wait a minute, you’re not going to tell me that Song Xin came looking for you, are you?" Song Qi suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Lin Feng.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Lin Feng was surprised that Song Qi knew about this. After all, he had just driven Song Xin and the others away; how could Song Qi find out so quickly?
Thinking about this, Lin Feng felt that Song Qi's information network was indeed quite extensive, at least in **City B**, a mid-level city.
"I just received the news a few seconds ago," Song Qi answered honestly, clearing up Lin Feng's confusion.
It was now confirmed that Song Qi's information network in **City B**, a mid-level city, was quite dense. But another question arose: Song Qi was from the Song Family. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had indeed started building her own network and information system as the young lady of the Song Family. If that were the case, why was her information network primarily covering areas outside of the headquarters of the Song Family rather than in **City B**, a mid-level city?
Lin Feng didn't believe that such an information network could be established in just a few days; it would take years of effort to be effective; otherwise, it would just be an empty shell.
This meant that Song Qi had been managing the information network in **City B**, a mid-level city for several years.
Lin Feng tossed his questions to Song Qi and waited for her response.
"Just come here first. I have a private room here; it's not convenient to talk over the phone," Song Qi said cautiously.
Since Song Qi had said so, Lin Feng agreed and hung up the phone, preparing to hail a cab to the **Western Restaurant** she mentioned.
Not long after, Lin Feng arrived here. He did not tell the receptionist that he was looking for Song Qi; instead, he directly found the private room that Song Qi had reserved and opened the door to enter.
This was also what Song Qi had requested. Lin Feng knew that Song Qi was worried about something, and while thinking about how cautious she was, he followed her instructions to find her.
The private room had a relatively elegant environment; it wasn't luxurious, but it was suitable for discussing matters that shouldn't be overheard by others.
"Why does Miss Song always choose such ordinary places?" Lin Feng casually greeted and asked.
In fact, Lin Feng already knew part of the answer to this question, but he still wanted to hear how Song Qi would respond.
"Hehe... these ordinary places are cheaper," Song Qi did not directly answer Lin Feng's question but replied instead.
"Hehe... I see." Although Song Qi did not explain clearly, Lin Feng understood her meaning, which was similar to what he had thought.
"You should know that I need a quiet and discreet environment. Until I have control over Song Gang, I won't pursue those so-called luxurious things. I constantly remind myself that if I indulge in the temporary luxury I have now, I think it won't be long before I become someone who can be easily manipulated. Besides, I'm still a woman." The question was raised by Lin Feng, and he had already understood it. However, at this moment, it seemed that Song Qi suddenly felt a bit emotional and spoke a few more words.
In fact, the reason why Song Qi shared such specific thoughts with Lin Feng was partly because she needed to vent and partly because Lin Feng already had a general understanding of these matters. Thus, there was no need for her to hide anything.
"Hehe... even if you fail, as long as you don't expose what you're currently doing, you can still be the young lady of the Song Family and find a suitable partner to marry," Lin Feng thought little of Song Qi's words; after all, she would always be the daughter of Song Lie, wouldn't she?
"Hehe... you're thinking too simply. Do you know? If my plan fails, I won't be able to stay in the Song Family anymore." It seemed that at this moment, Song Qi decided to share something with Lin Feng and continued speaking.
Lin Feng did not ask why but looked puzzled, clearly indicating for Song Qi to continue.
"When Song Lie dies, Song Xin will naturally become the leader of Song Gang. You know how incompetent he is. But at that time, whether it's Liu Jie or his father continuing as leaders of Qian Bang, they could easily suppress Song Gang. Do you think Song Xin wouldn't choose to sacrifice me to secure his position as leader by arranging a marriage with one of those prominent families?" As she finished speaking, a cold smile appeared on Song Qi's lips. That smile carried not only a chill but also an almost imperceptible bitterness.
After hearing what Song Qi said, Lin Feng understood. In fact, it wasn't just Song Qi; most girls from those big families were often forced into arranged marriages for family interests. This was something Lin Feng could also think of regarding Song Qi's situation.
"Haha... Aren't you working hard now? I believe that with your abilities, there are many things you can change. At least, even if you can't control Song Gang, it won't be so easy for Song Xin to make you submit willingly, right?" Lin Feng said to Song Qi, half truthfully and half comfortingly.
"Lin Feng, do you know at what age and for what specific reasons I started thinking about betraying the Song Family to reclaim everything from Song Lie?" Hearing Lin Feng's comfort, a smile appeared on Song Qi's lips as he suddenly opened up and asked Lin Feng.
"Oh, didn't you have this thought since you were young?" Lin Feng asked, but he knew that what Song Qi was about to say would likely be something he didn't know.
"Yes, it's true that I had this thought since I was young, but it can't be said that way. After all, back then I was very afraid of Song Lie. To be honest, when I was little, I was quite useless. I even thought that if Song Lie didn't scold me, everything would be just fine," Song Qi said as he fell into memories and spoke to himself.
At this moment, Lin Feng wouldn't interrupt Song Qi's recollections like a fool. After all, he was quite interested in knowing about Song Qi's past. He wanted to understand what had shaped the current Song Qi; there must have been experiences that were different from ordinary people.
However, what Song Qi said next made Lin Feng feel that this was not just any ordinary experience; it was simply astonishing.
"I hated Song Lie since I was a child, believing he harmed Mom. But back then, I was too young; it was just hate and not true hatred," Song Qi continued.
This time Lin Feng remained silent and listened quietly.
"However, as I grew older, although I still disliked Song Lie deep down, at least I didn't think about taking revenge on him. I just wanted to grow up quickly so that I could support myself and leave the Song Family to live my own life. Honestly, at that time, I wasn't thinking about avenging Song Lie or anyone from the Song Family," Song Qi said. At this point, he clearly recalled something extremely angering and spoke through gritted teeth.
Lin Feng continued to listen quietly, but from Song Qi's expression, he could guess that there must have been some deeply ingrained experiences that made Song Qi feel so thoroughly resentful towards Song Lie and everything related to the Song Family.
