Various dishes filled the table, the aroma was overwhelming.
Lin Fei's pupils contracted, activating his X-ray Vision, scanning all the dishes in an instant.
Every dish was exposed with the finest details to him, as if viewed under a microscope.
However, Lin Fei found no poison in the dishes.
It seemed Ding Shaocong dared not poison the food, probably not wanting to harm Zheng Yutong, and also because this was a hotel owned by the Ding family; if poisoning incidents were to occur, the hotel couldn't continue operating.
Even though the food wasn't poisoned, only Lin Fei and Leng Ying were eating with chopsticks, while Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue had lost their appetite due to the Ding Shaocong matter.
Lin Fei looked at Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue, saying, "Didn't you say you were going to welcome me with a meal? Why aren't you eating anything?"
Zheng Yutong sorrowfully replied, "Lin Fei, it's a pity this isn't Shencheng, if it were, I wouldn't worry for you. You have Commander Chen, Director Qin, and the support of both the Zheng family and the Su family; no one can threaten you."
"But here in the Capital City, each of the Six Great Families is more powerful than our Zheng family, and their strength vastly surpasses that of Shencheng's powerful families. Each family is filled with experts, like a killing machine dedicated to serving these powerful families..."
Lin Fei interrupted Zheng Yutong, saying, "Yutong, I don't care how strong these powerful families are, or how many assassins they have in the shadows. I only know you are Xiao Ling's girlfriend, and Xiao Ling is my brother, so I won't let any bastard harass you."
Speaking with firmness, Lin Fei looked seriously at Zheng Yutong, saying, "If Ding Shaocong continues to harass you after today, no matter who he is, I'll show him the consequences of pestering you."
Every word Lin Fei spoke was powerful and undoubtable in its strength.
Zheng Yutong was stunned, with an indescribable look of emotion in her eyes.
At this moment, she felt truly fortunate that Xiao Ling had a brother like Lin Fei.
"Lin Fei, thank you..." Zheng Yutong said earnestly to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei replied, "Thank what? You are Xiao Ling's girlfriend and also my friend."
Su Xiaoyue's heart also warmed; this loyal and righteous Lin Fei was exactly what she liked.
"Let's eat! Don't overthink it." Lin Fei said to Zheng Yutong.
Zheng Yutong nodded.
Lin Fei also urged Su Xiaoyue to eat.
Then, everyone started picking up their chopsticks and began to eat.
The four of them ate for almost two hours before the meal ended.
After Zheng Yutong settled the bill, they walked out of the private room.
As they walked not far down the corridor, Lin Fei sensed something unusual.
The male and female servers passing by in the corridor were subtly observing the four of them.
With his vigilance and experience, Lin Fei immediately thought these servers were watching them, most likely sent by Ding Shaocong to keep an eye on him.
Lin Fei realized that once he left the Huajing Grand Hotel, without affecting the hotel, Ding Shaocong might retaliate against him.
Lin Fei wasn't afraid of Ding Shaocong, only concerned that Ding Shaocong's retaliation might harm Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue.
As he pondered how to ensure the safety of the two women, a private room door in front opened, and out came a tall and handsome young man in a white tracksuit.
The young man exiting the room noticed Lin Fei, Zheng Yutong, and the others.
At first glance, Lin Fei felt this young man resembled someone he knew.
But he couldn't immediately recall who.
"Yutong!" At this moment, the tall and handsome young man smiled brightly and greeted Zheng Yutong.
"Chen Lin!" Zheng Yutong appeared surprised and said, "What are you doing here?"
"It's a birthday of a childhood friend who's a freshman at Huajing University, so I'm here to celebrate. Are you here for a meal?" Chen Lin glanced at Lin Fei and the other two behind Zheng Yutong and asked.
Zheng Yutong nodded, "Yes, I came to eat with some friends."
Then Zheng Yutong gestured towards Lin Fei and said to Chen Lin, "This is my friend Li Fei."
Today Zheng Yutong had learned from Lin Fei that he was in the Capital City searching for his senior sister, entering Capital City University under the alias of Li Fei.
Therefore, she didn't reveal Lin Fei's real name to Chen Lin.
Hearing Zheng Yutong's introduction, Chen Lin had a closer look at Lin Fei and said, "Are you the famous Li Fei from Capital City University these past few days?"
Lin Fei smiled calmly, "Young Master Chen, you overpraise me."
Chen Lin had heard the news about Lin Fei, who had defeated Wu Yuqing as soon as he entered the university, and then the Yang siblings.
He also heard about Lin Fei being supported by campus belle Deng Ziyu, and how he was close with Su Xiaoyue.
He was eager to meet this impressive newcomer.
Unexpectedly, he encountered him today in the corridor of Huajing Grand Hotel.
"Li Fei, this is Chen Lin, a young master of the prestigious Chen family in the Capital City, and a classmate of mine," Zheng Yutong continued, introducing Chen Lin to Li Fei.
Lin Fei thought to himself: So he is the young master of the Chen family, one of the Six Great Families.
Lin Fei recalled overhearing the conversation between Marquis Wuying and his son at the Wu family, where he learned that his senior sister was likely rescued by the Chen, Deng, or Liu families that night.
With the Chen family's young master Chen Lin standing before him, Lin Fei saw this as an opportunity.
Making an acquaintance with Chen Lin might provide a chance to find out if his senior sister was at the Chen family.
Besides, Lin Fei perceived that Chen Lin was different from Wu Yuqing, Yang Feng, and Ding Shaocong; he didn't carry the same hostility and possessed a genteel aura.
"Hello, Young Master Chen!" Lin Fei nodded to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin also nodded back to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei immediately considered that since Ding Shaocong had sent people to watch him and would likely retaliate next, he needed a plan to ensure Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue weren't dragged into his troubles.
Now, with Chen Lin standing before him, it seemed like the perfect solution. If Chen Lin could escort them back, they'd surely be safe.
With this thought, Lin Fei looked at Chen Lin and said, "Young Master Chen, I have some matters to attend to. Could you help me escort Yutong and Xiaoyue back?"
Chen Lin's face showed a bit of puzzlement as he asked, "Li Fei, why won't you escort them back yourself? Why ask me to do it?"
Lin Fei then lowered his voice and explained about offending Ding Shaocong.
"Lin Fei, you're not coming with us?" Zheng Yutong asked worriedly.
Lin Fei said, "Don't worry about me, you all head back first."
After Chen Lin, Zheng Yutong, and Su Xiaoyue departed, Lin Fei and Leng Ying also left the hotel, got in a Mercedes, and drove away.
A few minutes later, Leng Ying drove the Mercedes onto a street.
The street was extremely quiet, stretching nearly four or five hundred meters at both ends.
There was no sign of people, and the buildings along the street had almost no lights visible.
Although there were streetlights, their glow was dim, and Leng Ying seemed to sense a, brewing scent of killing intent in the air, instinctively slowing the car down.
