Upon hearing Lu Pengju's words, Su Zi was taken aback. She instinctively followed his gaze. Indeed, outside the open door of the villa, a handsome young man in white casual attire was stepping out of a green taxi. Hands in his pockets, he sauntered towards the villa... It was none other than Lin Feng!

Lin Feng, back already?! Su Zi's face flushed a vibrant red with excitement and anticipation. She longed to call out, but feared Lin Feng might discern her little secret... Su Zi refrained, covering her mouth, watching Lin Feng intently, her eyes slightly red…

That deadbeat, leaving so suddenly without a word for so long, not even considering that others might be worried about him! Su Zi watched Lin Feng approach, her heart in a turmoil…

In contrast to the conflicted Su Zi, the simple-minded Lu Pengju had a rather straightforward response...

"Master... you're back so soon! I missed you like crazy…" Lu Pengju exaggeratedly called out, then rushed towards Lin Feng and, regardless of the circumstances, pulled Lin Feng into a bear hug.

Lu Pengju assumed his enthusiastic embrace would reveal the extent of his longing and that his Master would be deeply touched...

Who knew... Lin Feng's response was drastic, just not in the way he hoped...

"Ow… Damn it... Lu Pengju, you idiot, let me go..." Lin Feng yelled while struggling to push Lu Pengju away. Then, wincing, he clutched his still-healing left arm and rolled his eyes at Lu Pengju. "Are you a spy sent by my enemies? You grabbed my injured arm the moment you saw me! It hurts like hell!"

Lu Pengju, though pushed away by Lin Feng, wasn't offended. He was still grinning cheerfully at first. But hearing about Lin Feng's injury... Lu Pengju's expression suddenly turned cold...

"Master, what happened? You're injured?" Lu Pengju approached Lin Feng and asked in a deep voice, "Who dares to lay a finger on you? I'll gather a company of soldiers and blow them to smithereens for you!"

"Blow your grandpa... Who asked you to meddle? Quit your damn nonsense!" Lin Feng stared at Lu Pengju and jokingly scolded him. If Lu Pengju had just talked about bringing a company of soldiers to fight for him, Lin Feng wouldn't have been angry. After all, brawls involving soldiers weren't unheard of.

But this Lu Pengju actually suggested using a gun to gun someone down? That was a serious crime under military law! If Lu Pengju really went and did that, even the commander of the Jiangzhou City Military District, Lin Zhonghua, wouldn't be able to save him. Lin Feng didn't want to see Lu Pengju actually making such a dumb mistake; it was better to scold some sense into him now.

"Ahem… Master, I was just saying..." After being scolded by Lin Feng, Lu Pengju realized the severity of the situation. He awkwardly grinned, feeling slightly embarrassed, and said to Lin Feng, "But Master, if somebody really did injure you, you have to tell me. I'll help you get even!"

Master's strength is astonishing! He shouldn't have gotten hurt unless someone ambushed him. Since Master is injured, he must have been ambushed!

"I'm usually the one ambushing others, not the other way around!" Lin Feng laughed confidently and said to Lu Pengju, "Don't waste your energy worrying about me. The one who managed to injure me could take on at least ten fighters like you. Even if you knew who it was, you'd be useless..."

"Damn... one against ten? Other than you, Master, are there really such impressive people?" Lu Pengju was astonished. He found it hard to believe that there could be such outstanding people in the world, but then again, he had to believe Lin Feng's words... because he knew his Master was exactly that kind of expert!

If the opponent was really that skilled, Lu Pengju doubted he would be much help. Unless he really managed to get his hands on a submachine gun and just RAT-A-TAT-TAT that person...

"There's always someone better, and a higher sky beyond the one you see… There are plenty of people more skilled than me!" Lin Feng shook his head and spoke sternly. Then he glanced into the villa and casually asked, "Nothing happened while I was gone, right? Did any strange characters approach Ning Aoxue or Su Zi?"

"Hey, nothing could have happened with me here!" Lu Pengju patted his chest and said with a grin, "Master, you can relax. With me watching over the two sisters-in-law, I scared away all those pests—I'm very reasonable, you know. See, for days now, no one has dared to harass the two sisters-in-law anymore. Didn't I do a great job?"

"Damn it, I told you they are not sisters-in-law, you stubborn guy! Say that again and I'll smack you!" Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile and asked seriously, "What I asked was, did any unusual individuals approach them that you happened to notice?"

"Master, it's pointless for you to deny it. Recently, the two sisters-in-law have been mentioning your name all the time. If I hadn't been assigned by you to explain things to them, they would've probably mobilized their families to look for you... Both of these sisters-in-law come from affluent backgrounds; it's all very intimidating... As for strange characters, I haven't noticed any..." Lu Pengju shook his head firmly.

"Really?" Lin Feng knew both Ning Aoxue and Su Zi hailed from affluent families. Su Zi was wealthy. Her casual conversations hinted that her family in Beijing was far from ordinary. Lin Feng believed that Su Zi's family, if fully mobilized, could potentially find him anywhere. To these prominent families, it was merely a question of cost... As for Lu Pengju saying that there had been no sighting of strangers, Lin Feng found it hard to believe. How can things be this peaceful? Hasn't the Violent Killer Group retaliated yet?

"Boss, you are not hoping that something befalls the sisters-in-law, are you?" Lu Pengju didn't understand Lin Feng's mindset and exaggeratedly asked, "Are you planning to find new love?"

"New love? You wish!" Lin Feng speechlessly pushed Lu Pengju away. Seeing Su Zi approaching, he somewhat hesitantly greeted her, "Su Zi... long time no see!"

"Lin Feng, long time no see..." Su Zi replied, feeling slightly uneasy. She felt an inexplicable nervousness, yet she quickly relaxed and softly asked, "You left so suddenly, where on earth did you go? Aoxue and I… we were a little worried for you..."

"Something urgent came up, so I had to leave for a few days..." Lin Feng replied vaguely with a smile. He then looked around casually and muttered, "Where's Aoxue? I haven't seen her yet."

Hearing Lin Feng mention Ning Aoxue, Su Zi felt a sour jab in her heart. This jerk! He didn't even bother to greet me properly after coming back, and just casually asked about Ning Aoxue. He even calls her so intimately! Just how much does he really care for Ning Aoxue?!

"She left early in the morning, who knows where…" Su Zi pouted and said rather petulantly.

Lin Feng was taken aback. Su Zi's tone is so harsh. Could she have quarreled with Ning Aoxue?
