Chapter 550 Call Me Big Brother
The sky had turned to evening when Ling Feng checked the time and realized that more than an hour had passed. He said to Lu Fei, "Senior Black Wolf’s body should have mostly recovered by now."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard from outside, and then a group of people walked in through the doorway.
Lu Zihao sat in a wheelchair, his face somewhat pale, but judging from the liveliness of his eyes, he had recovered rather well.
Lu Fei had not expected him to come and quickly got up to ask, "Zihao, why are you here? Why don’t you rest a bit longer?"
"Uncle, I’m fine. I’ll be all right after a couple more days of rest."
After saying this, Lu Zihao’s gaze turned to Ling Feng, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Ling."
"Senior, you are too kind. It was my duty," Ling Feng replied.
"Senior?"
Lu Zihao was startled, not understanding what was going on, and Lu Fei quickly explained, "Ling Feng is also with the Security Bureau; you could say you are colleagues!"
"Ling Feng..."
Lu Zihao pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I’ve heard that name. The only one who instantly received a Lieutenant Colonel military rank upon joining, and it even caused quite a stir internally at the time."
Ling Feng chuckled and scratched his head, "Oh? I didn’t know about that!"
"Uncle, I would like to have a private chat with Ling Feng, if that’s okay?" Lu Zihao turned his head to ask.
"Of course, no problem!"
Lu Fei nodded and signaled to everyone, who then all left the room together.
In the living room, only the two of them remained, and Lu Zihao said, "You know that I’m a special envoy?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu just mentioned it," Ling Feng nodded.
"Oh, that means he doesn’t consider you an outsider. This matter is a secret within the Lu Family and not many people know about it," Lu Zihao nodded.
Ling Feng was puzzled, "Why?"
"For safety. I’m assigned to carry out secret missions; it’s not good if too many people are aware."
Ling Feng expressed understanding with an "Oh," then added, "However, senior, how did you get injured?"
Lu Zihao, about forty years of age with a realm of at least Qi Force Peak, was severely injured and had nearly lost his life. Ling Feng really could not imagine who could have done it.
When asked about his injury, Lu Zihao gave a bitter smile, "Well, I wouldn’t mind telling you. It actually didn’t happen during a mission."
"Uh, then how?"
Ling Feng was even more curious.
"It was because of a woman..." said Lu Zihao with a bitter smile.
Ling Feng: "..."
It turned out that his injury was due to an emotional entanglement?
"Then I will refrain from asking more, as it’s a personal matter..." said Ling Feng awkwardly.
Lu Zihao nodded, "I didn’t expect you to have such remarkable medical skills. I never heard of this before."
Ling Feng smiled, "It’s nothing special, just some minor skills. Plus, with some top-grade medicinal ingredients on hand, it was only natural to heal senior’s injuries."
"Stop calling me senior. You saved my life. Just call me big brother from now on!" said Lu Zihao.
"Oh, that would be aiming too high for me!" Ling Feng laughed.
"No need for formalities. By the way, your chief is Chen Ping, right?" Lu Zihao asked.
After confirming the answer, Lu Zihao pondered, "Once my injury is completely healed and I’m back, I’ll talk to the headquarters and see about transferring you to work in Capital City, how about that?"
"There’s no need for that. I’m quite content staying in the county. Mainly, I can’t leave home, there’s a lot to take care of!" Ling Feng quickly said.
"Is that so? When I have time, I’ll go have a look at your place," Lu Zihao said.
"You’re welcome anytime!"
Ling Feng smiled, suddenly remembering something, and asked, "Big brother, speaking of which, I have a matter I’d like to consult you about. I don’t know if you can help me with it."
Lu Zihao nodded, "What is it? Just tell me."
"I’m acquainted with Nightingale too, and she’s currently on a special mission to help me. It’s been some time without any news, and I wanted to ask what’s going on," Ling Feng said.
"You know her?"
Lu Zihao was evidently surprised, his face a picture of astonishment.
Then he came to a realization, nodding slightly, "It’s not strange for young men and women to come together."
"No, big brother, you’ve misunderstood. Shiyun and I have nothing going on, and her helping me is also... also..."
Ling Feng’s words trailed off, as he suddenly didn’t know how to explain!
Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t clearly define Shiyun’s motive for helping him!
Though she said she did it for Li Shiyun, that was clearly an excuse!
But to say she did it for him, Ling Feng felt that was a bit far-fetched, especially since they’d gone through a lot before, nearly reaching the point of absolute incompatibility.
Seeing him struggle to explain, Lu Zihao laughed, "Alright, no need to explain further; I’ll make inquiries about this matter for you."
"Great, I just hope you don’t end up like Zhou Yi, finding out but then not telling me!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zihao gave him a serious look, "I don’t know you well enough, so there is that possibility!"
Ling Feng: "..."
"Then I might as well not ask at all!" he said, his face filled with gloom.
Lu Zihao laughed, "Concern leads to chaos. If Zhou Yi doesn’t wish for you to get involved and you insist on doing so after learning the situation, wouldn’t that be against her original intention?"
"I don’t need to get involved, but at least I should know what it’s about, right? Keeping this to myself is just too distressing!" Ling Feng said.
"I understand how you feel. Emotions are something that reason can’t control..."
Lu Zihao had a look of resignation, as if he was recalling his own experiences, and spoke lightly.
In the time that followed, the two discussed matters regarding the security bureau, and to Ling Feng’s surprise, Lu Zihao even knew Zhang He and Joanna!
Only, the two of them were unaware of his position as a special agent, thinking he was just the head of the Capital City branch.
As the night grew later and the sky turned completely dark, a series of knocks at the door interrupted their conversation.
Then the woman named Snow entered, smiling broadly, "It’s getting late, time for dinner."
"Look at me, so engrossed in our conversation that I’ve lost track of time! "
Lu Zihao apologized with a smile to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng smiled, "Talking with big brother about the bureau, I forgot too, not feeling hungry at all!"
"Come on, even if you’re not hungry, you have to eat this meal, because I want to properly thank you!" Lu Zihao laughed.
After leaving the reception room, they went to the dining area on the other side of the yard. Upon entering, he saw that a lavish spread of food and drink was already laid out on the table in the large dining room.
Those from the Lu family were not present, and now only Lu Fei and Lu Zixuan were there.
After Ling Feng sat down, he noticed that Lu Fei looked rather glum, prompting him to ask out of curiosity, "What’s wrong, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Fei: "I’m ashamed to say, something happened just now, and I’m not in the best of moods."
Ling Feng was taken aback, unsure whether to inquire further, but then Lu Fei volunteered, "Lu Kun has escaped!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng couldn’t help but give a wry smile upon hearing this, "Is this considered fleeing in fear of punishment?"
