The rain washed down relentlessly.
It was as if it intended to cleanse everything here.
Ling Feng stood under the eaves, gazing at the distant mountain ridge, layered and verdant. With Bai Yunyan gone, it would be difficult for anyone to find him.
"Brother, do you like standing in the rain?"
Lin Shuainan appeared beside Ling Feng at some point, looking like a melancholic prince.
Ling Feng glanced at him but didn't respond.
"Brother, why are you so cool?"
"Brother, can you teach me how to act cool? I think Xiuxiu likes cool guys!"
Lin Shuainan chattered on, striking a cool pose, hands behind his back, appearing indifferent to everything, exuding an imposing aura.
However, no matter how cool his demeanor was, it still made people want to laugh...
Swish, swish...
The rain noticeably slowed, and the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate. Ling Feng finally responded.
"Coolness is a talent; you can't learn it!"
He then turned and entered the house!
"Hmm, coolness is a talent..."
Lin Shuainan imitated Ling Feng's move, turning around with flair. But in his attempt to act cool, he couldn't even walk properly. His left foot stepped on his right, and instead of ascending to heaven, he fell flat on his face.
As a result... half of his front teeth chipped off, and his nose started bleeding!
"Pfft! Lin Shuainan, have you seen another beauty? You've been bleeding from the nose all day!"
Xiuxiu came out and saw Lin Shuainan wiping his nose, unable to help but burst into laughter.
"Xiuxiu, don't tease me. I was trying to be cool, but this project of acting cool is risky and not suitable for me. Look at my teeth..."
Lin Shuainan showed Xiuxiu his broken teeth, looking like he had learned his lesson.
This made Xiuxiu laugh heartily, doubling over with laughter.
"Haha, you should talk less; you'll have a lisp!" Xiuxiu couldn't help but tease.
Ling Feng walked past them and said coldly, "The Yu Xin Guo's medicinal properties begin to weaken half an hour after being picked, and toxins will appear after two days. If you don't want to poison someone, hurry back!"
Hearing this, Xiuxiu and Lin Shuainan dared not delay any longer and immediately drove off.
"Don't worry, I'll be home in half an hour!"
Lin Shuainan grinned foolishly with his chipped teeth, looking utterly comical.
Xiuxiu giggled and then playfully punched Lin Shuainan, "You still say that! You drive so fast, you'll ruin the car. How will I explain to my brother when we get back?"
"Hehe, I'll handle your brother... Ouch! Xiuxiu, stop pulling my ear!"
"That's for talking nonsense! He's my elder brother, not your brother-in-law. Understand?"
"Got it, got it..."
Halfway through the drive, Lin Shuainan's right ear was noticeably larger than his left.
Beep, beep, beep...
Suddenly, Ling Feng's phone rang.
Both Lin Shuainan and Xiuxiu fell silent.
Ling Feng had been resting with his eyes closed in the car, as if he weren't there!
But when had Ling Feng's presence ever been weak?
Moreover, Ling Feng's phone rarely rang, and when it did, it was always for something important.
When it rang, they dared not disturb him.
"Heavenly Venerable, there's a situation!"
It was Yang Fei's voice from the other end.
"Speak!"
Ling Feng's expression was indifferent, his eyes faintly radiating a cold glint.
When he left, he had asked Yang Fei to stay at the Su family's residence precisely to guard against any sudden incidents, especially the person who had previously gone to the Su family and nearly killed Elder Su.
"We just received news that a large number of top international assassins entered the country five days ago. During this time, they have all converged on Nanyun through various means and channels. This is very unusual!"
Yang Fei took a deep breath, his voice extremely solemn!
Ling Feng's expression softened slightly upon hearing that the Su family was not under attack. He closed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "Five days ago... that's when we arrived in Nanyun."
"That's right! So, I feel that things are too coincidental. Furthermore, because these people entered Nanyun through various channels, they initially managed to evade our surveillance!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, I understand!"
"What should we do?"
"Respond to changes with constancy!"
"Yes!"
After hearing Yang Fei's affirmative response, Ling Feng hung up the phone.
"Ling Feng, did something happen?"
Xiuxiu was a little nervous, fearing that something had happened at home.
"Nothing!"
Ling Feng replied indifferently, with no intention of elaborating.
Sputter, sputter...
Just as Xiuxiu was about to press further, the car beneath them suddenly jolted a few times and then completely stopped by the roadside.
"Broken down?"
Lin Shuainan scratched the back of his head and stomped on the accelerator twice. With a "bang," the front hood flew open, startling Xiuxiu.
"Ah! Lin Shuainan, it's all your fault! You broke the car. In this desolate place, let's see how you'll get back!" Xiuxiu punched Lin Shuainan again.
Lin Shuainan got out of the car awkwardly, coaxing repeatedly, "I'll fix it properly, just fix it. Xiuxiu, don't be angry!"
"Hmph!"
Xiuxiu stomped down angrily.
Ling Feng's expression darkened slightly. He pushed open the car door and got out.
Lin Shuainan tinkered with it for a while, his face smudged with black soot, but to no avail.
"The water tank temperature must be too high. Let's wait a moment. I'll check if there are any other problems. This car also has a bad temper!"
Lin Shuainan explained sheepishly and then went to look at the back of the car.
"Hmph, any car you touch will have a bad temper!"
Xiuxiu followed behind like a supervisor, scolding him affectionately.
Ling Feng shook his head. It was indeed a desolate area, and the city was still quite a distance away. On such a flat road, with few cars, it was unlikely for it to break down...
Screech, screech!
Suddenly, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground was heard, and then a station wagon stopped in front of Ling Feng's group's car.
Lin Shuainan and Xiuxiu looked up curiously at the approaching vehicle.
Ling Feng also turned his head slightly.
The car door opened, and two women jumped out, pointing at Ling Feng with surprise.
"Big shot!"
"Mom, don't call him that! Call him handsome."
The two women revealed their identities with their first words; they were a mother and daughter!
Xiuxiu and Lin Shuainan naturally didn't recognize them.
But Ling Feng remembered these two. Five days ago, when he first arrived in Nanyun, a five-star general had come to pick him up at the airport. At that time, a pair of snobbish mother and daughter had blocked his way, pointing and gesturing at him.
Later, seeing Ling Feng get into the general's car, they were stunned for a long time.
And that mother and daughter pair were now before him!
Ling Feng frowned slightly.
This seemed too coincidental. In the vast sea of people, to meet them a second time?
