Chapter 549 Stunned
As soon as Ling Feng finished speaking, the scene immediately fell silent.
The family members of Lu Zihao were filled with astonishment and suspicion, and even Lu Fei furrowed his brows.
Lu Kun became agitated all of a sudden, and pointing at Ling Feng’s nose, he shouted, "Nonsense! This is a malicious frame-up. How can Sun Lei’s condition be the same as Zihao’s!"
"Why can’t it be the same?"
Ling Feng gave him a look, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Both of them have suffered heavy hits to their Dantians. The only difference is, Lu Zihao still has hope for recovery, while Sun Lei is completely done for!"
"You say he can’t be cured even though his condition is lighter, and can only be maintained, even stating he has less than a month to live?"
Ling Feng stared into Lu Kun’s eyes, his brows furrowed as he continued to ask, "Even I, an outsider, can tell that Lu Zihao is an important figure in the Lu Family. What is your true motive in doing this?"
"You, you’re slandering me!"
Lu Kun became frantic and seeing everyone looking at him with doubtful eyes, he quickly turned to Lu Fei, "Family Head, don’t listen to his nonsense. I have no intention of framing Zihao!"
"Whether you do or not, you know best. Is it because his existence is getting in the way of your interests?"
Ling Feng chuckled, looking at the young man behind Lu Kun who had been silent all this time but had a very gloomy look in his eyes. Now his gaze was flickering, seemingly becoming afraid.
Noting the young man’s resemblance to Lu Kun, Ling Feng boldly hypothesized and then asked, "Is it to pave the way for your son?"
"Hiss..."
Like a bolt from the blue, this sentence made everyone sharply inhale in shock!
Seeing the expressions of these people, Ling Feng instantly knew he had guessed right!
At this moment, the faces of Lu Kun and his son changed drastically, both turning deathly pale!
Ling Feng didn’t say a word, expecting to enjoy a good show with a smile.
After his initial shock, Lu Kun hurriedly explained, "Family Head, don’t be misled by this kid’s random babbling, he’s just making things up!"
Lu Fei: "This matter..."
He had only spoken three words when groans were heard coming from inside the room; Lu Zihao’s family, too anxious to care about anything else, immediately rushed in!
Following that, there were exclamations, and Lu Fei couldn’t help but rush in as well!
Ling Feng glanced at the stunned Lu Kun and smilingly asked, "Well? Aren’t you going to go in and have a look?"
"I..."
Hearing Lu Zihao’s voice, Lu Kun’s heart sank!
He had not expected Ling Feng to really have such miraculous methods to wake someone from a coma!
As he hesitated, Lu Fei came out of the room and said to Ling Feng, "Thank you, Mr. Ling. Zihao is awake. Although he is still very weak, he’s significantly stronger than before!"
"You’re too kind, it was just a little trick of mine, hardly worth mentioning!" Ling Feng laughed.
His comment was clearly directed at Lu Kun, implying that curing Lu Zihao was just a trivial task, yet Lu Kun had delayed treatment with unfathomable intentions.
At this moment, Lu Kun was still a bit dazed and failed to grasp the insinuation in Ling Feng’s words, but Lu Fei understood quite clearly and nodded slightly, "Ah Kun, you can go back first. There’s no need for you to take care of Zihao now."
"This..."
Lu Kun looked up in astonishment, about to say something when he saw Lu Fei’s cold gaze, which made him shiver and he dared not say another word.
Thereafter, he lowered his head, struggling to contain the turmoil in his heart and quickly left with brisk steps.
The young man followed him as soon as he saw this.
Turning to Ling Feng, Lu Fei sighed slightly and said, "I apologize for the scene you had to witness, Mr. Ling."
"No harm done, I don’t even know what you mean by that, Mr. Lu!" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
Lu Fei managed a faint smile, revealing the complexity of his emotions at that moment. As for what he was thinking, only he himself knew.
After the surprise, Lu Zihao’s family didn’t forget Ling Feng. A middle-aged woman came out from the house and said to Ling Feng, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Ling. We really can’t thank you enough!"
"There’s no need to be so polite. A doctor’s heart is a parent’s heart; it’s what I should do," Ling Feng said.
It was then that Lu Fei said to the woman, "Ah Xue, it’s good news that Zihao has woken up. It was my negligence before, now I will leave his care to you all!"
"Okay, I understand," the woman called Ah Xue said as she bit her lip and nodded.
Lu Fei then looked at Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, shall we go talk in my place?"
"Sure, the guest follows the host’s lead," Ling Feng nodded in agreement.
Back at Lu Fei’s home, after sitting down and noticing his knit brows and the appearance of being laden with heavy thoughts, Ling Feng didn’t know what to say, so he changed the subject and asked curiously, "Is Lu Zihao your nephew?"
"Yes," Lu Fei nodded. "Among the second generation of the Lu Family, he is one of the best."
Saying this, Lu Fei sighed, "It’s only now that I understand why, after Zihao got injured, he told Zixuan not to bring him back home. There was a reason; he must have anticipated what could happen."
Ling Feng: "..."
Familial gratitude and resentment are not uncommon in noble families, and he didn’t know what to say to comfort Lu Fei.
One could imagine that once Lu Zihao’s health was restored, some changes would likely take place within the Lu Family.
Without a word, Lu Fei then continued, "Had I known this, I should have let Zixuan take him to the Public Security Bureau."
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was startled, then surprised, "Why?"
Lu Fei looked at him and smiled, saying, "I won’t hide it from you. Zihao actually doesn’t stay with the Lu Family very often, because he is a member of the Public Security Bureau, just like Mr. Ling!"
"Really..."
Ling Feng was astonished, having never expected that the person he had been agonizing over curing was actually his colleague!
So he asked curiously, "May I ask which branch Lu Zihao is from?"
"He’s from the main bureau, and as for his identity, I won’t keep it from you either—he’s a special envoy!" Lu Fei said.
"..."
Ling Feng was dumbfounded, his entire body going stiff.
Lu Fei seemed not to notice his astonishment and continued, "It’s precisely for this reason that he is the greatest glory of the Lu Family. Now you understand why I’m so concerned about his safety, right?"
"I do," Ling Feng nodded, then asked, "So that means, Lu Zihao is the renowned Brother Wolf?"
"That’s right, that’s what they call him within the Public Security Bureau, but actually, his nickname is Black Wolf."
Ling Feng was speechless.
There were only two special envoys, one known as Zhou Yi, nicknamed Nightingale. The identity of the other had always been unclear, but now the mystery had finally been solved.
Considering this, Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Both special envoys are legendary figures; I’m fortunate to have met Black Wolf here."
"Zihao will surely thank you properly once he’s recovered," Lu Fei said.
Ling Feng smiled, "There’s no need for thanks. We’re colleagues, after all; it’s part of my duty!"
The revelation that Black Wolf was part of the Lu Family had a significant impact on Ling Feng, and for a moment, his thoughts were a mess.
