Chapter 455 Let’s Go to the Hot Springs
Ling Feng still felt quite surprised.
Initially, he just found Zhou Yi’s good treatment of Huaihua a bit odd and came to the provincial city to investigate in order to protect her.
Unexpectedly, upon investigation, he discovered she was the woman who had tried to steal the treasure.
Now he didn’t know whether Zhou Yi had any connection with Zhang Song or the two who appeared on the hillside later and opened fire to ambush him, but considering her two attempts to steal the treasure, it was time to deal with her properly!
After returning to the hotel and sitting down beside Miao Ruoruo, she glanced at Ling Feng with a questioning look, and he responded with just a slight smile, offering her a reassured expression.
Zhou Yi laughed and joked with others, never glancing over here again.
As the hotel filled with more and more guests, the wedding formally began at half past eleven.
Ling Feng wasn’t particularly interested, but seeing Miao Ruoruo’s eyes sparkling, he couldn’t help but be moved.
Which girl wouldn’t dream of a romantic wedding?
However, when he considered his current situation, Ling Feng could only shake his head secretly—it seemed like a difficult feat to accomplish!
After all, you can’t have a wedding with seven or eight brides, right? That would be a bit too shocking.
Lost in his wild thoughts, the wedding ceremony concluded, and it was time for the meal.
Ling Feng had no appetite, his mind preoccupied with his impending appointment with Zhou Yi in the afternoon.
This woman was particularly cunning, and she surely had equipment similar to a Space Ring, so catching her would be difficult.
But no matter how difficult, he had to try. What should he do?
As he pondered, Miao Ruoruo nudged him: "What are you thinking about? Shall we go?"
"Oh, right!"
Ling Feng looked up to see some people had finished eating and were preparing to leave.
So the two got up. Miao Ruoruo greeted her classmates and prepared to leave.
At that point, one of the girls grabbed her hand: "Don’t go, it’s not easy to see you like this. Let’s get together somewhere else later!"
"I was planning to go back this afternoon!" Miao Ruoruo said with a bitter smile.
"What’s the rush? Have you forgotten our friendship from over the years? No matter how busy you are, it’s not a matter of a few hours, right?" her classmate said.
Miao Ruoruo was about to respond when Zhou Yi also came over and said with a smile, "Ruoruo, don’t leave. The wedding is too noisy. We’ll go somewhere else later to have a good chat!"
"This..."
Before Miao Ruoruo could finish, Ling Feng quickly interjected, "No problem! I’ve heard Ms. Zhou is doing well in the provincial city. If she wants to treat us, of course, we should accommodate her!"
At this, Zhou Yi gave him a glance: "Treating you is no problem, but the afternoon is our girls’ gathering time. Gentlemen, please excuse us!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng hadn’t expected her to play this card, but after a quick thought, he chuckled: "That won’t do, I’m Ruoruo’s protector and I can’t leave her side for a moment!"
"Is that so? We’re going to the hot springs, will you follow too?" Zhou Yi asked, her smile not reaching her eyes.
Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at her and said with a smile, "If you don’t mind, of course I have no problem!"
"You!"
Zhou Yi’s face darkened, not expecting him to tease her in front of everyone, and she was somewhat annoyed.
Thankfully, the other girl classmates smoothed things over, chattering about Ling Feng’s thick skin while pushing her and Miao Ruoruo out of the hall.
The sunlight was still brilliant, and the group of seven or eight left the hotel and walked next door, soon arriving at a leisure club.
Ling Feng followed everyone inside, only to find that there indeed was a hot spring. Faced with Zhou Yi’s seemingly mocking gaze, he suddenly felt a rush of urgency!
What’s this situation, does she intend to separate me from Miao Ruoruo and then take the opportunity to make a move on her?
At the thought, Ling Feng’s nerves were so tense that his hair stood on end.
He intended to stop it, but then Miao Ruoruo pinched his hand and blinked.
It was only then did Ling Feng remember that she had changed her physique and was no longer an ordinary person.
Besides, in a place crowded and bustling like the hot spring pool, Zhou Yi would surely not harm her unless she was a fool.
And Miao Ruoruo’s actions were not merely to bond with her classmates, but actually to probe Zhou Yi’s true intentions.
With this in mind, he could only force a wry smile and said, "Then have fun, I’ll wait outside."
After speaking, he pinched Miao Ruoruo’s hand in return, signaling her to stay safe.
At that moment, Zhou Yi smiled and said to Ling Feng, "Then you must be patient. After we soak in the hot spring, we might go upstairs to rest, maybe grab something to eat and sing some songs. It will take quite a while!"
Ling Feng: "..."
Seeing his speechless reaction, the girls giggled and without further ado, pulled Miao Ruoruo into the changing room.
Ling Feng turned around to see the two front desk girls trying to stifle their giggles as they looked at him. Out of options, he asked, "Well, is there anywhere suitable for me to relax around here?"
"Sir, I’m sorry, this facility is specifically arranged for ladies. You can sit over there and have some tea, or..."
"No need, I’ll just wait outside!"
Ling Feng didn’t wait for the front desk to finish before turning around and walking out.
Once outside, he immediately dialed Wang Laogen’s number and asked, "Where are you?"
"Why sound so fierce? I’m in the provincial city," replied a bewildered Wang Laogen.
"Nothing, I am also in the provincial city. How about we meet up?" Ling Feng asked.
"Sure, where are you?"
Ling Feng turned back and took a careful look at the club’s signboard: "Feng Yun Ladies’ Club!"
Wang Laogen: "..."
"What are you doing there?" he asked incredulously.
"Quit the chatter. Come over, I’m waiting for you," Ling Feng replied, brimming with gloom, then hung up.
After waiting for twenty minutes, Wang Laogen arrived by car. After parking at the roadside, he rolled down the window, looked at Ling Feng with a chuckle, and asked, "What’s the meaning of this? You plan to treat me to a service inside?"
"Cut it out!"
Ling Feng shot him a glare, got into the car, and upon sitting down, he said gravely, "Zhou Yi and Ruoruo are inside."
After listening to his story, Wang Laogen also became serious, his eyebrows knitting together: "Hard to believe they have a connection."
"Yes, so this Zhou Yi is very special. See if you can find anything about her through this," Ling Feng asked.
"I could give it a try, but it’s weird, isn’t it? She clearly knows you’ve seen through her identity and yet she doesn’t avoid you," Wang Laogen questioned.
"I’m not in the mood to think about that. Right now, I just want to catch her and find out the force behind her, and what exactly they are up to!" Ling Feng said.
Seeing him full of bother and looking gloomy, Wang Laogen didn’t waste words and took out his phone to dial a number.
After he finished the call, he turned to Ling Feng: "So, what are you planning to do next?"
