Just as the people of the Jiang Family were overjoyed, at that moment, Phil Chu, accompanied by Chuchu, walked over.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for saving my granddaughter and for avenging her! Our affairs here have concluded, and the family still has many matters to attend to! Chuchu and I must now return to Western Europe, and you are always welcome to visit, Mr. Ye!"

Phil Chu spoke to Ye Feng, exhibiting extraordinary politeness. Then, he seemed to think of something, and continued to Ye Feng:

"Should you one day come to Western Europe and find yourself in difficulty, you can use our family's card; it should help you resolve some issues!"

Phil Chu's words stunned Ye Feng, but before he had much time to think, Chuchu plunged directly into his arms.

Chuchu clearly knew she was about to leave, and her face was sad at the moment, her big, watery eyes brimming with tears.

After she had been kidnapped by those people, she had constantly faced disdain, either being scolded or hit, and besides her own family, Ye Feng was the kindest to her.

He had not only saved her, but he had also been like an elder brother, making her feel exceptionally warm when she was with him.

"Big Brother! I... am leaving now, take care of yourself, I will come back to see you!"

The moment Chuchu spoke, tears streamed down her face, washing away the mud on her little face to reveal two streaks of tear marks, her expression full of reluctance.

Although Ye Feng had not spent much time with Chuchu, he was extremely fond of this smart and well-behaved little girl. At that moment, he rubbed her little head and then gazed at her mud-stained face, saying:

"Listen to your grandfather when you get back, and don't run around everywhere! Otherwise, if the bad guys kidnap you again, the mud on this little face of yours will not stay!"

Ye Feng's words made Chuchu burst into laughter, and then she blushed, stood on tiptoes, wrapped her arms around Ye Feng's neck, and planted a kiss on his face.

"I'm not scared at all! If I get kidnapped by bad guys again, Big Brother will definitely save me!"

Chuchu seemed to have immense confidence in Ye Feng, and her playful words left Ye Feng simultaneously crying and laughing.

"Alright! Big Brother, we're leaving now... I will definitely come back to see you..."

At this moment, the blush on Chuchu's face had spread to her ears. She waved reluctantly to Ye Feng and then followed Phil Chu onto the extended Bentley.

After they got into the car, Minister Zhang and Mountain Cat also came over.

"Ye Feng, Mountain Cat and I will accompany Phil Chu on a trip to Europe, so we won't stay in Mingzhu any longer!" Minister Zhang patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, his face also full of reluctance.

Since Ye Feng had joined Shadow Group, Minister Zhang had worked alongside Ye Feng, treating him more like his own junior.

After Minister Zhang finished speaking, Mountain Cat came up and gave Ye Feng a bear hug, his tiger eyes already slightly red:

"Boss! When I have time, I will definitely bring the brothers to Jiangnan City to see you!"

The thing that Mountain Cat could least bear was parting with Ye Feng, reminiscent of when they had heard about Ye Feng leaving the group, the old men in their team had cried like women.

Ye Feng did not like the sorrowful atmosphere of parting; at that moment, he patted Mountain Cat and Minister Zhang on the shoulders and nodded without speaking.

Watching the extended Bentley slowly driving away, Ye Feng felt a bit bitter in his heart.

He was a rational person, but he was also an emotional one.

Three years of brotherhood forged in blood and fire had nearly fused him with the Shadow Group, where everyone was his brother, trustworthy enough to stake his life on!

They were all his family, the family that would never leave him alone!

Seemingly sensing Ye Feng's sadness, Jiang Ying and Zhang Zihan looked at each other, and then both came up to him.

The two women, one on each side, held Ye Feng's arms, not speaking, but sharing his sorrow.

Squeak!

Just then, a series of rapid brake sounds were heard, and several Land Rovers steadily stopped by the roadside ahead.

The car doors opened, and about a dozen men in black quickly ran out.

These people, one by one, wore expressions of stern determination, their waists bulging conspicously, obviously carrying weapons.

Ye Feng frowned, and when he saw that all these people were heading towards him, he twisted his wrist, readying the dozens of Needles in his hand.

"Miss! Are you alright?"

Just then, the leader among them, a man clad in black, quickly approached Zhang Zihan's side and respectfully said,

Zhang Zihan seemed to have recognized these people earlier, and now she nodded slightly:

"It's alright! Did my father send you?"

"Yes, Miss! The boss received a call this morning saying you were in trouble! That's why he called us back from abroad to rescue you, Miss!"

The leader in black, upon seeing the injured Fei Zhong, narrowed his eyes and then, seeing Zhang Zihan clinging to Ye Feng's arm, looked puzzled:

"Miss, before we came, the boss had already told us! Mingzhu is not safe, we need to take you back to Hong Kong immediately!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zihan's pretty face turned sour, she was reluctant to leave Ye Feng, but she knew all too well how domineering her father was.

Ye Feng also understood the character of Zhang Zihan's father, and not wanting to make it difficult for her, he smiled and said:

"You go back first! I will come for you!"

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Zihan's stunningly beautiful face, a heart full of reluctance, but he knew that now was not the time, not the time for them to be together indefinitely!

He still had much to do!

After this incident of Zhang Zihan being captured, Ye Feng's thoughts had begun to shift.

He did not want such incidents to happen a second time, he must become stronger, not just individually, but by forming his own power!

A power strong enough to protect all the people he loved!!!

Zhang Zihan looked at Ye Feng's face, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

But she was smiling, she had searched for three years, found her first love, found her him!

The brief separation before them was for a lifelong companionship in the future!

She now needed to go back and convince the Zhang Family, to allow her to be with Ye Feng!

At this moment, Zhang Zihan clung tightly to Ye Feng, wanting to merge him into her own body.

Feeling that warmth familiar to her bones, smelling that fragrance that had haunted her dreams for three years, that intoxicating fragrance she could never forget!

"Feng, I'll wait for you…"

Zhang Zihan whispered in Ye Feng's ear, then looking at his delicate face, pressed her red lips against it, leaving behind a gentle warmth.

Ye Feng, looking at the rain-wet smile on Zhang Zihan's face, feeling her deep tenderness, felt a deep, sour ache in his heart:

"Your shoelace is untied, just as your heart is open, let me tie it for you…"

Ye Feng said this while kneeling down, silently and gently tying her loosened shoelaces.

His movements were slow, light, gentle!

Zhang Zihan's worn sports shoes' laces, were like tying his heart to hers!

This was a shoelace, but also a first love!
