Chapter 46: President
Lin Feng sat in the living room, his face expressionless.
After taking care of matters that afternoon, he had gone out and bought some calming herbs, which he brewed into a decoction for Su Yanxue. This had finally soothed her anxious state.
Only after Su Yanxue had fallen asleep did he slip out to the living room to wait for news.
"Sir, we have news. Su Linlin and Jiang Yuelian have left Jingxi City and gone to Xinan City."
"These are their travel records."
A moment later, a bodyguard approached Lin Feng with a file and handed it to him.
Lin Feng glanced at the file. Upon confirming that Su Linlin and her mother were far from Jingxi City, his brow furrowed slightly.
He had already guessed they would go to Xinan City to seek refuge with the Wang Family, but he hadn't expected them to move so quickly.
But considering Xinan City was only a few hundred kilometers from Jingxi City, his surprise was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure.
"Sir, should we bring them back?"
The bodyguard asked respectfully. Their duty was to protect Lin Feng, after all.
But if Lin Feng wanted Su Linlin captured, they would carry out the order without hesitation.
"Not for now. I have my own ways to make them walk right into my trap."
Lin Feng shook his head, a cold glint in his eyes. 'That mother-daughter duo has gone too far. I can't just let this go.'
A knowing smile touched the corners of his lips as he rose and walked toward the door.
'Since Su Linlin and her mother want to use a borrowed knife to kill, why can't I use the Wang Family to strike back at them?'
After making all the arrangements, Lin Feng let out a long breath. Under the cover of the deep, quiet night, he went to practice his martial arts.
BANG!
In the courtyard, a series of sonic booms cracked through the air as powerful gusts of wind radiated outward.
His movements were incredibly agile. Each strike and stance seemed unstructured, yet they all held boundless power.
After a long moment, he pulled back his fist and stood still. His blood thrummed with power, as if a dormant dragon had awakened within him.
Lin Feng's eyes burned with intensity. After today's battle, he could finally feel his body beginning to reawaken.
Although his power hadn't increased by much, he was confident that the sheer toughness of his physical body was enough to crush an ordinary Ancient Martial Artist at the Early Stage of Innate.
A golden glint shone in Lin Feng's eyes, revealing his formidable nature.
He might have studied medicine since childhood, but his martial prowess was by no means weak. As the sole successor to the master of the Immortal Doctor Valley, his abilities were naturally extraordinary.
Furthermore, his cultivation of the Immortal Medical Scripture had granted him a superb physique. Even a master at the Peak of Innate Realm would find it difficult to match his physical resilience.
Unless his opponent was an Ancient Martial Artist at the Peak of Innate Realm, it would be impossible for them to break through his defense!
But his opponents were doomed to disappointment!
By this time, Lin Feng was already back in the villa resting. He didn't even consider the Wang Family a threat.
「The next morning.」
Su Yanxue woke just as the sky was beginning to brighten. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around, only then realizing she was in her bed.
She quickly got up and dressed. When she opened the door, she saw Lin Feng sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.
Su Yanxue paused. "Oh, you're up. Have you eaten?"
Lin Feng looked up at her and smiled.
"I have. How are you feeling now?"
He was quite concerned about her. After all, what had happened yesterday could easily leave deep psychological scars. That was why Lin Feng had made a special trip to an herbalist's shop to get her some reishi grass.
Reishi grass has restorative properties that would help her body recover more quickly.
Su Yanxue looked down at her chest. Seeing that the bloodstain on the gauze had faded significantly, she finally felt a sense of relief.
"Thank you. I'm feeling much better."
Lin Feng nodded. He pulled Su Yanxue into his arms and said softly, "Don't worry. I'll never let you get hurt again."
"Mm."
Held tightly in his arms, Su Yanxue's cheeks flushed red. She gave a small nod and nestled obediently against his chest.
She closed her eyes, inhaling his distinctly masculine scent as her heart began to beat faster.
'She liked this feeling.'
An image of Lin Feng's dashing, heroic figure as he rescued her last night flashed through her mind, and she found herself completely captivated.
"Go eat something. We're going out after."
Looking at Su Yanxue, who was like a little kitten in his arms, Lin Feng stroked her hair and spoke in a pampering tone.
"Huh? We're going out? Where are we going? What are we doing?"
The previously docile Su Yanxue's eyes suddenly went wide, and she instantly grew wary, like a startled kitten with its fur on end.
"To unwrap a gift."
"A gift? What kind of gift?"
Su Yanxue was baffled. Lin Feng's answers were always so cryptic, leaving her completely in the dark about his intentions.
"You'll find out soon enough. We'll leave right after we eat."
Lin Feng said, keeping her in suspense.
Su Yanxue pouted but didn't press him further, simply nodding obediently.
After breakfast, the two set off, heading straight for the city center.
"Why are we going to the city center?"
Su Yanxue seemed to have fully recovered from the trauma of the day before. She was back to her lively, cheerful self, chattering away with endless questions.
"You'll know when we get there."
Lin Feng replied with a smile.
Soon, the car stopped. Su Yanxue looked up to see they were in front of an office building.
"Huh? Why did you bring me here?"
Su Yanxue was utterly confused. She couldn't help but turn her head to gaze curiously at the skyscraper, which looked quite high-end even for downtown Jingxi City.
Lin Feng took Su Yanxue's hand and smiled. "Come with me."
With that, he led her toward the elevators.
"Wait, isn't this someone's private property? You can't just..."
"Shh!"
Lin Feng placed his right index finger against her tempting lips, signaling her to be quiet as he pressed the elevator button.
The elevator doors opened with a DING, revealing a spacious, brightly lit office filled with expensive potted plants and flowers.
Lin Feng released her wrist and strode toward a door beside the main desk.
CLICK.
The door opened, and Su Yanxue's eyes widened in utter astonishment.
The room beyond was piled high with all kinds of jewelry and jade artifacts.
There was even an incredibly valuable jade statue of Guanyin among them.
POP!
With a few more pops, several party poppers went off. Wang Tianlin and Li Minde emerged from a corner, friendly smiles on their faces, followed by a large group of people.
"Welcome, President Su."
"We look forward to working with you, President Su."
Su Yanxue stared, stunned by the sudden appearance of so many powerful figures, but she still managed to grasp the key point of what they were saying.
