Chapter Twenty-Two: The Couple's Separate Faces

  The more Li refused to speak, the more anxious Lin Feng became, and he couldn't help but urge: "Speak!"

  Master Li had no choice but to say: "Young master, it's like this, those soldiers took Madame Wang's father to the police station, saying he injured their men and they want a statement from the local authorities."

  "What can the police department do about military personnel? However, the soldiers were too powerful and the police department had no choice but to sentence Feng Jie's father to prison."

  Feng Jie found out and was not satisfied, so she went to the police station to argue her case. As a result, she was also detained by the police on the grounds of being unreasonable and disturbing the normal operation of the police station.

  "It was originally supposed to be just like this, and it wouldn't have been difficult to solve. When Master returns, he can take the money to the police station and bail him out. But Feng Jie was arrested and taken away by soldiers before a day had passed, no one knows why. The next day, she was actually sold to Chunfeng Building."

  Lin Feng didn't say a word while listening to Li Zhuangui's account, his face turned darker and darker, the flames in his eyes grew more intense, a surge of energy rose from his abdomen straight to his brain, and when he finished listening, he felt dizzy and exclaimed "What? Sold to Chunfeng Building?"

  What a good girl, just because she looks a bit better than others, has been bullied to such an extent, what kind of world is this!

  What kind of government is this that a proud soldier does not go to protect his country but instead forces good people into prostitution!

  Lin Feng got angry, turned around and walked out, shouting: "Dali, Dali, go all out with Laozi!"

  "Ah, here comes Young Master." Dali responded loudly and suddenly appeared from somewhere, rushing towards Lin Feng.

  "Master, Master..."

  Li Zhuang's face turned red with anxiety, and he hastily chased after Lin Feng, grabbing his arm.

  "Master, Master, you can't be impulsive!" This is getting out of hand, if the young master really goes out, who knows, with his temperament, he might actually dare to go find those soldiers and fight to the death. That's no joke! Li Zhuang quickly persuaded him, "If something happens to you, then Phoenix will really have no one to save her!"

  Li's words were like a wake-up call, and Lin Feng suddenly became much clearer-headed.

  Yes, if you rush to find someone to fight to the death, not to mention the outcome, I'm afraid Feng Jie would really fall into the fire pit and no one would come to rescue her.

  Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, waited for a moment to calm down his hot head, and then asked Li Zhuang: "When was Feng Jie sold to Chunfeng Building?"

  "Yesterday," replied Li Zhuangui.

  "Yesterday, there was still time, I'll go take a look first."

  Lin Feng finished speaking and left.

  This time Li Zhuang didn't stop him.

  Young master left, Dali didn't know what to do, so he shouted at Lin Feng's back: "Young master, are we going to fight or not?"

  No wonder people say this kid is short-sighted!

  That's it.

  Lam Fung didn't bother to respond to Tai Lik's provocation and left on his own.

  In Chunfeng Building, Lin Feng directly found the old procuress and said he wanted to see the new Phoenix Sister who was bought yesterday.

  Lin Feng is the big gold master of Chunfeng Building. The old procuress naturally doesn't want to offend him, who has no feud with money, and of course answers with a full mouth.

  Lin Feng met Feng Jie in his own private room.

  Lin Feng was not the first time in this room to see a girl, but this time it was absolutely the most unhappy one.

  But for Feng Jie, this meeting with Lin Feng was the most impressive one.

  Lin Feng saw that Feng Jie, who was still beautiful and plump just a few days ago, had become disheveled and haggard in just a short period of time, and he felt both sorrowful and indignant.

  Unfortunately, a perfectly fine person has become this eerie and ghostly figure. Infuriating is that someone dared to touch the people I want to protect.

  Phoenix didn't know who the old procuress was going to force her to meet before she saw Lin Feng, but thinking that people who come to such a place aren't good people either, so she's already scared stiff. After entering the room, she kept her head down and refused to look at the person who called her, only clutching the collar of her clothes tightly with both hands, on high alert.

  Seeing Feng Jie's current fearful appearance, like a little lamb falling into a wolf pack, Lin Feng's heart surged with tenderness.

  Phoenix Sister, it's me.

  Lin Feng's tone of voice was very gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring the poor girl again.

  Hearing a somewhat familiar voice calling her name, Feng Jie was slightly startled and raised her head, and what entered her eyes were a pair of clear and pure eyes without any impurities, the gaze from those bright eyes exuded soft warmth.

  "Master Lin!" Phoenix Sister looked clearly at the person in front of her, and then came extreme joy, "Master Lin, how is it you?"

  Lin Feng saw Feng Jie's overjoyed expression at this time and felt very guilty in his heart.

  They trusted themselves so much that after knowing their own weaknesses, they were still willing to come to the door seeking protection. They couldn't protect themselves, let alone others. Lin Feng felt guilty and at the same time made up his mind to protect this beautiful and pitiful girl no matter what!

  This time they met, Feng Jie was very happy because she got his promise, not a promise of marriage, but a promise to bail her out and release her father.

  When in distress, being cared for by a man like this would move the softest string in a woman's heart. Feng Jie was no exception.

  Now several days have passed, Lin Feng still hasn't come, and Feng Jie is locked in the backyard of Chunfeng Building, enduring hunger and thirst, and being whipped with a leather whip.

  Lam Fung's promise was her spiritual strength to persevere.

  Feng Jie remained in a semi-comatose state, unaware of what was happening outside.

  She didn't know that Lin Feng had escaped from his wedding to come to the county town to save her, but was caught by the security guards and forced to join the army. She also didn't know that the county town had already been occupied by the Japanese military.

  She just stubbornly insisted on her own hope in her heart.

  But Lin Feng, injured from the battlefield, had another run-in with Li Fei and his bandits at Ma Er Shan, which delayed him for some time. By the time he returned to his home in Huai Yin Town, it was already the second half of the night.

  Huaiyin Town

  The dark clouds in the sky made this night even darker.

  The two lanterns at the entrance of Lin's house were still lit, and the flames swayed back and forth with the gentle breeze.

  A figure with a military cap and rifle slung over his shoulder leaned against the large gate, weakly panting.

  "Open the door, open the door..."

  This man is Lin Feng who just returned home.

  Lin Feng was really tired, his hands and feet were sore and soft, and the sound of him calling out was very weak.

  He felt a bit suffocated in his chest, and after taking a few deep breaths, his lungs were burning with pain. His throat was itchy, and he started coughing violently. However, the pain in his lungs made him dare not use too much force. He felt like there was something stuck in his throat that was itching terribly, and if he didn't cough it out, he would feel very uncomfortable. This feeling was really hard to bear.

  "Cough...cough..."

  "Hmmph!"

  Lin Feng finally couldn't hold on any longer, let out two loud coughs, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

  "Open... open the door..."

  Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Feng suddenly fell forward with a thud...

  ……

  The rumble of cannons, the crackle of gunfire like frying beans, shouts and screams, a sea of flames and smoke, eyes full of severed limbs and bodies, blood-soaked corpses everywhere, Lin Feng struggled to run in this hellish battlefield, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape...

  "Master, master, how are you?"

  A sudden, urgent cry pierced his ears, and Lin Feng's senses cleared as he abruptly opened his eyes. The gentle, melodious chirping of birds filled the air, and before him lay a spacious, bright bedroom with redwood furniture and spotless, jade-like tea utensils - everything looked so familiar!

  This seems like my own room!

  Lin Feng finally came to his senses and realized that he had returned home. The terrifying scenes from earlier must have been just a nightmare.

  A cool but very soft small hand touched his forehead, and a strange female voice came into Lin Feng's ear: "Young master, you are still having a fever."

  Lin Feng followed the sound and looked over, seeing a familiar-looking young girl, he curiously asked: "Who are you?"

  Lin Feng's room had always been cleaned by Wang Mama on his behalf, and others generally wouldn't enter.

  Wang Ma is Lin Feng's nanny, and Lin Feng has been taken care of by her since he was a child. The two have a very deep affection for each other.

  Ya Tou's bright eyes met those of Shang Lin Feng, and she felt a little shy, lowering her head slightly as she replied, "I'm Moon Fragrance, I came with Miss Su as her maid."

  Yuexiang sat on a stool in front of the bed, her pretty face slightly red and her head lowered, while responding to Young Master's words, she withdrew her hand.

  Did Miss Su come with you as a companion?

  Lin Feng was momentarily stunned and didn't understand what it meant. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly recalled the wedding ceremony that he had escaped from, and his eyes widened in realization.

  No wonder I haven't seen Wang's mother, but this unfamiliar young girl is attending to me by the bed. It seems that I am no longer a solitary person and have already started a family.

  Lin Feng found it hard to adapt when he suddenly had a wife out of nowhere.

  He used to be carefree and casual, because he had been alone in the world with no worries. Now, suddenly there is a woman by his side, and he really doesn't know what attitude to take towards this new life, or if he can still do whatever he wants.

  Lin Feng having such thoughts is normal, it shows that he has not matured yet and is not ready to take on social responsibilities.

  What's even more important is that Lin Feng ran away on his wedding day and humiliated the bride's family, which is equivalent to slapping them in the face.

  Lin Feng had been thinking about his promise to Feng Jie, and he didn't hesitate to run away from his wedding to the county town. Later, however, he was caught by the security team and forced to join the army to fight in battles. As a result, he forgot about this thing that he had done without careful consideration. Now that he has returned home, he can't avoid interacting with people, so how should he face them?

  Fortunately, when he woke up, the first person he saw was not Yao Fengyun, otherwise Lin Feng really didn't know what to do.

  Lin Feng had done something wrong and felt a little guilty in his heart, so he couldn't help but let his eyes wander around restlessly.

  "Young master, how are you feeling now?" Yueshang saw that the young master's eyes were rolling around after waking up, like a thief, and she secretly laughed to herself, while speaking words of concern.

  "Uh, nothing's wrong," Lin Feng felt himself losing composure, "heh heh" dryly laughed twice to cover it up, "Where is your family's young lady?"

  Still need to get a clear understanding of the "enemy situation" before making plans, Lin Feng quietly began his "reconnaissance" work.

  "The young lady has been taking care of you for most of the night and just went back to her room to rest." Yuet Heung replied as she stood up.

  Hearing that Yao Fengyun had taken care of herself for half the night, Lin Feng's heart felt a little strange. Before he even saw her face, he already felt indebted to her kindness.

  You did something wrong to others, now they take care of you without holding a grudge, this is kindness and debt, it's their kindness towards you, your debt towards them.

  Fortunately, she has gone back to her room to rest now. She was tired for half the night and had to sleep for a while. For the time being, she probably won't come over. Lin Feng is afraid of meeting Yao Fengyun right now.

  Lin Feng's heart had just calmed down, but unexpectedly he heard Yueshang continue to say a sentence, and was startled to the point of almost jumping out of bed.
