Chapter 385 Comfort
After a moment of silence, Li Yun sighed, "Ling Feng, I don’t want to see these two people, let them out!"
"Alright."
Ling Feng nodded, first picking up the one with indecent intentions and throwing him directly outside the door.
Then he turned his gaze to Captain Zheng. Seeing his face full of pleading but not daring to speak, he let out a cold laugh, "His attempt to violate someone was vile enough, but you drugged her, which is even more despicable, so I can’t let you off!"
Having said that, he lifted the man, took him outside to the open space, and then broke both of his legs with kicks.
Inside the house, Li Yun sat on the bed, the sound of agony outside making her heart feel as if it were filled with a tangled mess.
At this moment, Ling Feng entered the room and asked, "Are you a bit disappointed?"
"Just leave me alone and go home."
Li Yun spoke indifferently.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng knew her mood must be utterly disheartened.
He gave a bitter smile and said, "That won’t do. If I leave now, who will protect you?"
"I don’t need your protection. Since he suspects me, my life has no meaning left. If he wants to kill, then just kill!" Li Yun said expressionlessly.
Ling Feng looked at her and snorted with derision, "What nonsense are you spouting? I won’t let you die even if you want to!"
After speaking, he stepped forward to the bed and lifted her into his arms!
"What, what are you doing?"
Li Yun was startled, her strength not yet recovered, unable to struggle at all.
"I’m taking you back to my home. From now on, you’ll live there!"
Ling Feng said, holding her and heading straight outside, then placed her in his car.
The feeling was as if he were abducting someone.
And he was abducting Luo Laotie’s woman!
Li Yun didn’t speak again. She leaned back in the seat without expression, her gaze fixed in a direction as if deep in thought.
After getting into the car, Ling Feng glanced at her but said nothing and started the vehicle, then left.
A few minutes later, they arrived at his home. Hearing the engine, an anxious Lin Xue ran out from inside the house.
The sight of Ling Feng carrying Li Yun out of the car left her stunned, "What, what happened?"
"Let’s talk inside," Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Back in the room, after settling Li Yun on the bed, Ling Feng looked at her and said, "I know you’re feeling awful right now. You can do whatever you want next, but you are not allowed to hurt yourself!"
Li Yun didn’t speak, her eyes red, looking utterly heartbroken.
However, when she saw Ling Feng turn to leave, she quickly said, "Wait!"
"What is it?" Ling Feng turned back around.
"The information you want is on my phone, take a look for yourself." Li Yun handed over her phone.
"Alright."
Ling Feng thought he would have to wait until tomorrow, but she still remembered, so he quickly took it from her.
He then closed the inner room’s door with Lin Xue, and the two of them sat down in the outer room.
The information was forwarded by Lin Xue to a colleague for investigation, and then Ling Feng talked about the incidents that occurred in the mountains.
After listening, she was silent for a long while, then suddenly sighed, "Such good cards, played so poorly!"
"Who are you talking about?" Ling Feng asked.
"Luo Laotie, of course!" Lin Xue curled her lip. "She was so loyal to him, managing the company and even supervising the mining in the deep mountains, yet he still doubted her!"
"Mm, I also didn’t expect him to suspect Li Yun," Ling Feng nodded.
"She must be very heartbroken now, right?" Lin Xue looked up at him.
"Definitely, anyone would find it hard to accept!" Ling Feng sighed.
Lin Xue hesitated for a moment, "Why don’t you go comfort her?"
Ling Feng hesitated as well but eventually said, "Why don’t you go? These past few days, trying to comfort Yuhe, I haven’t come up with any useful words. I always drop the ball at crucial moments!"
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Xue’s mouth turned up, deeply agreeing!
So she reluctantly shook her head, stood up and said, "Alright, I’ll go."
When Ling Feng heard this, he quickly grabbed her little hand, "Thank you!"
"No need, I’m not doing it to help you!"
Lin Xue gave him a sideways glance and turned to enter the inner room.
The door closed behind her, and Ling Feng sat without moving, not knowing what time of the night it was, nor bothering to check, his mood a complicated one.
These days had been nothing but bad, one vexing thing after another, making him want to yell out loud to vent!
But he couldn’t, that would disturb the others.
...
...
Time passed slowly, but dawn still arrived on schedule, the eastern sky gradually brightening, another day beginning.
Sleeping in his chair, Ling Feng was awakened by the sound of a door opening and saw Li Yun walking out of the room.
"Did you sleep last night?"
Seeing her, Ling Feng quickly stood up and asked.
"No, I couldn’t sleep," Li Yun said with a weary smile, her expression haggard.
Seeing the look on her face, Ling Feng felt helpless. Just as he was about to say something, Li Yun interjected, "No need for comfort, I’m fine, thank you and Lin Xue."
"It’s nothing, we’re friends, right?" said Ling Feng with a sheepish smile.
Without replying, Li Yun’s gaze turned to the stove. She walked over, lifted the lid of the pot to check it, then tied up her hair and bent down to start scrubbing the pot.
Realizing that she planned to make breakfast, Ling Feng quickly stepped forward, "Let me do it, you should go back to bed and rest."
"It’s okay, I can’t sleep anyway." Li Yun kept moving, and she seemed quite adept at it.
"How is that okay? In my house, and I let you cook?" Ling Feng continued.
Li Yun turned to look at him, "You already said it, we’re friends, why the formality? You don’t think I can cook?"
"That’s not it," Ling Feng replied with an awkward smile.
"I grew up in a village too, before I went to the provincial city when I was younger."
After saying this, Li Yun went back to her work.
Only then did Ling Feng realize, no wonder her movements looked so skillful!
He didn’t say anything more. He went out and came back with some firewood, and together, one cooking and the other tending the fire, they made a pot of white rice porridge in just over half an hour.
"I told you the rice was too much, there’s so much porridge, the three of us can’t finish it all!"
Lifting the lid, seeing the steaming white porridge in the pot, Li Yun spoke softly.
Ling Feng laughed, "Don’t worry, we’ll finish it!"
Then, getting up, he said, "Wait for me a moment, several more people will come to eat in a while!"
"Oh."
Li Yun understood. She knew he had other girls around; apparently, they would be coming over later.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Ling Feng returned with several girls following him.
As everyone’s gazes met, Ling Feng quickly introduced them to one another.
Having braced herself, Li Yun wasn’t surprised and greeted everyone with a warm smile.
As for what had happened to her, Ling Feng had yet to tell everyone, but it seemed like Li Shiyun and Mo Jiaolan could already guess something from her complexion.
So the two stepped forward, took the things out of her hands, and said, "Sister Yun, you sit down. Let us handle these tasks."
"Then, alright," Li Yun nodded.
