Chapter 4

They exchanged phone numbers, and then Lin Feng and Xia Shiyu each went their own way.

At 10:30 in the evening.

It was Lin Feng’s first day as the prospective son-in-law of the Song family, and he didn’t want to stay out too late.

The gentle moonlight bathed the world, and the entire Jiangzhou City seemed to be enveloped in flowing mercury. Under the reflection of the streetlights, it shimmered with a pure and soft radiance.

Walking in the moonlit glow, Lin Feng returned to the Song family.

The Song family villa.

Faint lights flickered in the Song family, and as Lin Feng returned, there were only two security guards stationed outside. They recognized Lin Feng and let him through directly.

Entering the villa.

In the living room, only Su Yue, the mother-in-law, was present.

“Little Feng, you’re back,” Su Yue greeted Lin Feng with great joy.

Song Tianqing had just called her, saying that the security guards who were tracking Lin Feng had lost him, which had made Su Yue worried.

She hadn’t forgotten the harsh words that Chu Qiu had left when he departed. Su Yue was concerned about Lin Feng’s safety, so seeing him back brought relief to her anxious heart.

She quietly sent a message to Song Tianqing, reassuring him.

“Aunt Su, where’s Uncle Song?”

Looking at the quiet Song family villa, Lin Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“Something came up at the company just now. Your Uncle Song went over,” Su Yue explained with a smile. As the mother-in-law, she was increasingly fond of Lin Feng. In her eyes, Lin Feng not only resembled his father but was also outstanding in his own right.

“Oh, I see,” Lin Feng nodded.

“Little Feng, it’s getting late. Go take a shower first. The guest room on the second floor has been prepared for you. If you want to sleep separately from Yan Yan these few days, you can. Once you’re engaged, you can start living together,” Su Yue said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded

At the age of twenty-one, he was a year younger than Song Xueyan. He wasn’t even of legal marriage age. So, after discussing with Song Tianqing and Lin Guochang, they decided to have an engagement first on a suitable day. From a moral perspective, the two were considered a formal couple.

“Aunt Su, it’s getting late. You should go to sleep too,” Lin Feng expressed his concern.

“Okay, I’ll go to sleep in a while,” Su Yue smiled and said. The reason she hadn’t slept yet was to wait for news from Lin Feng. Now that Lin Feng was back, she could finally rest at ease.

“It’s strange. Yan Yan went to bed as soon as she came back tonight. Usually, she doesn’t sleep until midnight. It seems she’s really tired tonight,” Su Yue mumbled curiously.

Lin Feng overheard this particular statement.

“Song Xueyan went to bed.”

Lin Feng found this statement unbelievable.

He always felt that tonight, with his father-in-law Song Tianqing out and his future wife Song Xueyan going to bed early, they were secretly planning something.

Lin Feng didn’t dwell on it too much.

He took out a set of his clothes from his luggage, carefully concealing the 1,888,888 yuan that was the betrothal gift from the Song family.

This money was originally presented in a bamboo basket. However, when Lin Feng passed by the county town on his way back to Jiangzhou, he decided to deposit all the cash.

Over a million yuan was a sum Lin Feng had never seen before.

Tonight, he placed the bank card under his pillow and had a good night’s sleep.

……

Morning.

The horizon was painted with the hues of dawn.

The early spring sun wasn’t dazzling, as if it was veiled in a thin layer of gauze. A ray of sunlight penetrated through the window, shining on Lin Feng’s face.

Lin Feng woke up in a daze.

Su Yue had already prepared breakfast, but it was a meal for one.

Seeing Lin Feng’s puzzled expression, Su Yue explained with a smile, “Your Uncle Song and Yan Yan are busy with their company. They both got up early and are working at the company now.”

Su Yue, being a wise homemaker, never interfered with the matters of the company.

Moreover, she had set aside some money.

Even if the Song family faced bankruptcy, at least the Su family would have no worries about food and clothing. So Su Yue had nothing to worry about.

After a simple breakfast, Lin Feng left the house.

Su Yue called the two bodyguards to ensure they kept a close eye on Lin Feng, making sure not to lose him like they did last night. The bodyguards immediately reassured Su Yue and explained that last night was just an accident.

Just as Lin Feng left the Song family villa, he felt he was being followed again.

After confirming it, he found it was the same two guys from last night. Lin Feng didn’t say anything but hailed a taxi.

“Driver, go to Jiangzhou Hospital.”

“Sure, handsome, please fasten your seatbelt.”

The taxi sped away.

Back at the original spot, there were two bewildered bodyguards.

Last night, they lost Lin Feng because they were driving. After Lin Feng entered Linqiang Park, they were looking for a parking space, leading to Lin Feng being lost.

Today, they had smartened up and didn’t use a car. But now, Lin Feng had taken a taxi, leaving the two guards disheveled in the wind.

In the taxi, Lin Feng was resting with his eyes closed.

The taxi driver was playing the radio, tuning in to the morning news in Jiangzhou.

“According to the latest news from our station, the renowned actress Murong Qingcheng is holding a concert tour in our city.”

“An urgent update, a theft occurred at the well-known Chu International Corporation in our city last night. The company’s official seal was stolen, and the police are currently investigating the case.”

“Chu Corporation declares that during the period of the missing official seal, all documents involving Chu International’s official seal will be null and void.”

“Damn, impressive! They even dare to steal from Chu International,” the taxi driver couldn’t help but exclaim, expressing his shock.

The atmosphere was heightened to this extent.

Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and asked, “Master, is Chu International very powerful?”

“Powerful?” The taxi driver chuckled, “Let me tell you in the words of us locals in Jiangzhou. Chu International’s saying is called ‘policy’ in our city.”

“Impressive,” Lin Feng genuinely admired.

In reality, he speculated that the person who stole the official seal of Chu International was none other than his fiancée, Song Xueyan.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Jiangzhou Hospital.

On the third floor, in a private ward, four bodyguards in suits were standing by the door.

In the hospital room, an elderly man named Murong Hao carefully wiped the body of the elderly woman lying on the bed with a towel. The elderly woman, his wife Kong Lian, was currently in a state of coma, medically referred to as a vegetative state.

Murong Hao is the chairman of Murong Group, one of the five major conglomerates in Jiangzhou.

Five years ago, Kong Lian suddenly collapsed and became a vegetative person. Murong Hao has been coming to the hospital every day to take care of her.

Standing nearby is a young doctor in a white coat named Sun Liancheng, who is Kong Lian’s attending physician and the youngest deputy director in the history of Jiangzhou Hospital.

“Mr. Murong, in the current situation, Western medicine cannot treat Mrs. Kong. We can only rely on traditional Chinese medicine for gradual adjustment,” Sun Liancheng sighed

“Is there really no hope?” Murong Hao asked.

“We have already tried all feasible methods. Grandma Kong’s condition is unique, and it depends on her personal will to survive,” replied Sun Liancheng.

“If you had brought Grandma Kong to Jiangzhou Hospital three years ago, my master might have been able to cure her,” Sun Liancheng added, thinking of his master, Lin Yao.

“Stop, you can’t go in.”

Murong Hao frowned. This area was his private room, and someone dared to intrude.

At that moment, four suit-clad bodyguards outside formed a line, blocking Lin Feng’s path. Lin Feng appeared so weak and vulnerable in front of them, like a delicate young man.

Comparing their arms discreetly, Lin Feng made a mental assessment.

He couldn’t force his way through.

“Murong Hao, I know you’re inside. Let’s make a deal,” Lin Feng shouted loudly.

Just then, Sun Liancheng walked out with a stern expression.

“Which ward are you from? Isn’t the Mental department on the fourteenth floor? Why did you come to the third floor?” Sun Liancheng coldly questioned, implying that he thought Lin Feng might be a psychiatric patient.
