Li Zhong didn't know what else to say; he immediately agreed. However, he suddenly realized that Lin Ling still had to study. How could she guarantee that she would be able to answer the phone every time?
"Lin Ling, you are still a student. Don't you have to study every day?" Li Zhong asked.
"With my brother in this condition, I still have to keep it from my mom. I'll just self-study at home and wait for the call," Lin Ling shook her head and replied.
"That won't do. If you don't go to school, your mom will always suspect something. How about this: I'll give you this mobile phone. You can take it with you, and when your brother wakes up, I'll call you on this mobile phone. That way, you'll be able to know about your brother's situation easily, and it won't raise any suspicion from your mom," Li Zhong suggested as he quickly took a mobile phone out of the car and handed it to Lin Ling.
"But I can't just take your things; I've already troubled you enough," Lin Ling said, considering Li Zhong's reasoning but ultimately refusing.
"Oh come on, at a time like this, why are you being so particular? Besides, I have a good relationship with your brother. Given his current situation, it's only right for me to help out a bit; it's the least I can do for him," Li Zhong said. He almost revealed that he worked under Lin Feng but thought better of it.
"Alright then, once my brother wakes up, I'll return this mobile phone to you," Lin Ling accepted the mobile phone after realizing that Li Zhong was sincere. If his relationship with her brother wasn't good, he wouldn't have traveled all this way to check on her and her mom.
"Great! Will you be able to use it?" Li Zhong asked, relieved that Lin Ling didn't refuse.
"I can use it; don't worry," Lin Ling assured him.
"Good! Here’s the charger; take it with you," Li Zhong said as he pulled a charger from the car and handed it to Lin Ling.
"Okay then, Li Zhong, you should go now. I'll wait for your news at home," Lin Ling said as she accepted the items without hesitation.
"Alright, I'm heading out now. Don't worry too much; your brother is lucky and resilient; it's not easy for him to get into trouble. Take good care of your mom, and if there's any issue, just call me. My number is saved in this mobile phone," Li Zhong instructed.
In fact, Li Zhong wanted to leave some money for Lin Ling and her mother but decided against it. Knowing Lin Ling's personality, she would likely refuse any money offered.
Li Zhong left just like that. Lin Ling watched the taillights of Li Zhong's car gradually shrink at the end of the road until they disappeared, and tears finally streamed down her face.
"Brother, you must come back safe. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. Please, you have to wake up and come back to see me and our mother," Lin Ling stood there, clenching her hands tightly and talking to herself.
In the car, Li Zhong made a phone call to Dong Jie.
"Sister Dong, I've already been to Feng Shao's house. His sister Lin Ling knows the situation, but she hasn't told Feng Shao's mother and is helping to keep it from her. I'm on my way now," Li Zhong began reporting the situation as soon as the call connected.
Lin Feng was unconscious, and Dong Jie was Li Zhong's mistress.
"Okay, that's good. That girl Lin Ling has really had a hard time," Dong Jie sighed in relief upon hearing Li Zhong's report. She knew that Lin Feng's mother had developed heart problems due to years of hard work. If Lin Feng remained unconscious while his mother fell ill, Dong Jie wouldn't know how to explain it to Lin Feng.
There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Li Zhong finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Dong, how is Feng Shao...?"
Li Zhong still couldn't bring himself to ask directly, but he knew that Dong Jie understood what he meant.
"He's the same as before," Dong Jie replied, fully aware of what Li Zhong wanted to ask.
"Oh..." Li Zhong responded after a long pause, unsure of what else to say.
Comforting Dong Jie? Li Zhong knew that as long as Lin Feng remained unconscious, no words of comfort would be effective.
"Li Zhong, finish your business quickly and come back. Drive carefully on the road; let's leave it at that for now." Just when Li Zhong didn't know what else to say, Dong Jie spoke up.
"Okay, I understand." Li Zhong nodded in response.
Then both sides ended the call.
After hanging up, Dong Jie looked at Lin Feng's furrowed brow. She knew that Lin Feng was also struggling with his pain and desperately wanted to wake up.
"Alas..." At this moment, Tesla's soul floated one meter away from Lin Feng's body. Watching this scene, he could only sigh.
Due to Lin Feng's unconsciousness, Tesla's soul was able to drift out, but he could not leave Lin Feng's side by more than a meter. At this moment, even an artistic soul like him had no way to help; he could only hope that Lin Feng would wake up soon.
Unbeknownst to Lin Feng, who remained in a state of unconsciousness, his internal energy continued to wash and nourish his broken body without pause.
At this moment, a woman suddenly arrived at the door of Lin Feng's hospital room.
Although she was dressed simply and plainly, her beauty was hard to conceal.
Indeed, she was Xie Wanting, the woman who had troubled Lin Feng throughout his previous life.
"Excuse me, is this Lin Feng's hospital room?" Xie Wanting had already learned Lin Feng's room number at the reception desk on the first floor of the hospital. Seeing several women sitting at the door of Lin Feng's room, she asked.
"Yes, and you are?" Liu Jing stood up upon seeing Xie Wanting and inquired.
"I am a friend of Lin Feng. I came to see if he has woken up," Xie Wanting quickly asked after receiving confirmation.
"You are a friend of Lin Feng?" Liu Jing's background made her more cautious in handling matters. Although this woman appeared delicate, Liu Jing did not know that Lin Feng had such a friend, so she naturally expressed her doubts.
"Yes." Xie Wanting understood that Liu Jing was suspicious of her identity but could only respond this way.
"I'm sorry, but Lin Feng has not yet regained consciousness, so we cannot confirm your identity. We hope you understand," Liu Jing said politely, but her meaning was clear: since you cannot prove your identity, we cannot let you in casually.
"This..." Upon hearing Liu Jing's words, Xie Wanting was at a loss for words. She had not been in contact with Lin Feng for a long time, so she did not recognize most of the people standing there.
She did recognize Chen Xinni, but she was unsure whether Chen Xinni knew her. Moreover, seeing the look in Chen Xinni's eyes showed no intention of helping her prove her identity; she didn't know what to do at this moment.
"Liu Jing, this person does know Lin Feng, but their relationship is not good. She might be planning something unfavorable for him while he is unconscious," Chen Xinni said as she noticed Xie Wanting looking toward their side.
Although she didn't make it very clear, everyone understood what Chen Xinni meant: this person could not be allowed to enter Lin Feng's hospital room.
"Chen Xinni, you..." Xie Wanting realized at that moment that Chen Xinni did not not recognize her, but rather did not trust her. After saying a few words, she found herself at a loss for what to say next and could only give up.
Indeed, she was Lin Feng's ex-girlfriend, and those who were unaware would certainly think that her relationship with Lin Feng was quite strained. Xie Wanting understood this.
But at this moment, she was genuinely worried about Lin Feng and wanted to go in to see how badly he was hurt.
When she learned that Lin Feng had fallen into a coma while trying to save someone, she had initially planned not to see him again, yet here she was. She knew deep down that she still cared about him and was concerned for him.
"I'm sorry, miss, but please leave," Liu Jing stepped forward after hearing Chen Xinni's words and addressed Xie Wanting.
Without waiting for Xie Wanting to respond, Liu Jing waved her hand at the two bodyguards behind her, making it clear that they should escort her out.
It was no joke; although Lin Feng's identity was not public, Liu Jing understood the importance of ensuring Lin Feng's safety while he was unconscious. Liu Fei and Wolf King had naturally sent people to protect Lin Feng.
The two men behind Liu Jing had been watching Xie Wanting closely. At Liu Jing's gesture, they knew exactly what to do. They stepped forward with stern expressions, gesturing for Xie Wanting to leave and saying, "Miss, please cooperate."
Though their words were polite, the tone left no room for argument.
They had already received orders: if they could not guarantee Lin Feng's safety, they would be held accountable.
Feeling the pressure from these two brutes, Xie Wanting had no choice but to slowly back away.
What puzzled her was when Lin Feng had gotten so many beautiful friends around him and when he had bodyguards watching over him during his hospitalization.
But at this moment, none of that mattered as much as knowing how Lin Feng was doing now.
However, she knew it would be difficult for her to get inside.
"Let her in." Just as Xie Wanting was about to leave, the door to Lin Feng's hospital room opened, and Dong Jie stepped out, addressing Liu Jing and the others.
"Sister Dong, this Xie Wanting is..." Chen Xinni quickly spoke up upon seeing Dong Jie make such a decision, still feeling uneasy about Xie Wanting.
"If you still recognize me as Sister Dong, then let her in." At that moment, Dong Jie was already quite irritated because Lin Feng had not woken up, so her tone was somewhat forceful.
She also knew that with Lin Feng currently in a coma, if she didn't assert herself a bit more, she might not be able to control the situation.
When Lin Feng wakes up, Dong Jie could choose to ignore what happens with him; she believed he would handle things well. But now that Lin Feng was down, Dong Jie understood that she had to step up.
Even though she didn't like being so assertive and disliked having to act with so many concerns.
What she preferred was to stand behind Lin Feng, watching him make all the arrangements for her.
She naturally wanted to be a delicate woman, only considering the man in her heart.
Since she had to be assertive, after saying that, Dong Jie walked back into Lin Feng's hospital room.
