Chapter 45: Chivalrous Bones and Tender Feelings

  Lin Feng came to Chunfeng Building mainly to take Feng Jie away, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was rejected by Feng Jie. He made a strange movement and asked in surprise: "Why?"

  Lin Feng's strange movements stopped, and Feng Jie finally got a chance to catch her breath. She adjusted her posture and found the most comfortable position in Lin Feng's arms before saying: "I told you earlier that they were all asleep. Do you know why?"

  Feng Jie mentioned this again, making Lin Feng feel that something was not right, but he pretended to be unaware and teased Feng Jie with a frivolous tone: "You've been sleeping all day, you must have been tired from last night!"

  Feng Jie heard this, blushing with shame, and glared at Lin Feng with a pout, then explained: "It's not what you think, they just came back from the Japanese garrison this morning, and none of them are in human shape."

  "Japanese Kempeitai?" Lin Feng exclaimed, and Feng Jie's explanation was beyond his expectation. "What are they doing there?"

  "Uh, on the second day after the Japanese army entered the county town, a group of Japanese soldiers came over and took away the girls along with their mothers. Three days later, they were sent back, but by then, they had been tortured to the point where they couldn't move and could only lie in bed to rest." Feng Jie slowly told Lin Feng, "After that, the Japanese army would come here every now and then to take people away, each time torturing them until they couldn't move before sending them back."

  Lin Feng also knew what the Japanese soldiers were doing with these women at the Kempeitai without asking, and he didn't expect the Japanese to do such a beastly thing.

  The Japanese army did not only do this in Xiping County, the Japanese army had a special term for implementing such things called "recruiting comfort women", and they not only "recruited" those in occupied areas, but also "recruited" on Japanese soil, which was widely used within the Japanese army.

  At that time, Lin Feng did not know about these things. It was only after he officially joined the team and learned through study that he came to understand the Japanese army's widespread violation of women's rights.

  Lin Feng, upon learning of the incident at Chunfeng Building, became even more worried and hastily withdrew his hand from Feng Jie's clothes. He grasped her small fragrant shoulder, turned her around, looked at her face and asked: "How are you?"

  Feng Jie knew what Lin Feng was asking about, and her heart felt as sweet as if it had been filled with honey.

  He is willing to ask, which means he cares about her. Women always hope that the man in their heart cares about them, and Feng Jie is no exception.

  "The day the Japanese soldiers came for the first time, I was still locked in the backyard, so I wasn't discovered. Later, it was Big Yellow Teeth who let me out..."

  After Feng Jie's narration, Lin Feng finally understood what Feng Jie had gone through in this matter.

  When the Japanese army came to arrest people for the first time, Feng Jie was still locked in the backyard and escaped.

  The girl and her mother were both taken away, leaving only a big yellow dog that was locked in the backyard of the building, except for Feng Jie.

  I don't know what reason Big Yellow Teeth had, but he secretly released Phoenix Sister.

  Three days later, the women who were taken away were sent back by the Japanese army, but they had been tortured and were bedridden.

  A big man like Da Huang can't take care of these women.

  Phoenix had no choice but to take on these responsibilities.

  Feng Jie didn't hold a grudge against herself for the mistreatment she had suffered here, and instead took good care of these unfortunate women with all her heart, thus earning their affection.

  Later, when these women were just able to move around again, Japanese soldiers came once more.

  The mother and daughters were grateful for Feng's care over the past few days, so they hid her in the backyard, narrowly escaping disaster once again.

  "Afterwards, whenever Japanese soldiers came, I would hide in the backyard," Feng Jie said finally.

  "I'm so sorry you've suffered!" After hearing Feng Jie's words, Lin Feng's heart ached and he tightly hugged the poor but strong girl in his arms, saying softly, "Let's go, come with me now and leave this terrible place."

  Lin Feng didn't want to let Feng Jie stay here for another moment, it's too terrifying here now, women who stay here will fall into the clutches of the Japanese army if they're not careful, and eventually be swallowed up without even leaving a trace.

  "Master Lin, I really can't leave yet. What will happen to them if I do?" Feng Jie wanted to follow Lin Feng now, but she couldn't. She had no way of ignoring the women who were lying in bed and recuperating, and she couldn't get past her own kind heart.

  "You're also a victim, don't forget you were sold here too, they've hurt you before, at this point, what do you care about them for?" The tone was laced with some anger, Lin Feng somewhat resented the girl's foolishness.

  Lin Feng never thought of himself as a good person and didn't think he had an obligation to care about others' lives or deaths.

  Born in a chaotic world, first of all, take care of yourself, and try your best to make yourself comfortable, this is Lin Feng's life motto.

  He only cares about people who have a relationship with him, such as his parents, Wang Ban Zhang, and Feng Jie.

  Whether the people in Chunfeng Building are dead or alive, it's none of my business. Although he had an intimate relationship with many women inside, it was just a pleasure-seeking and playful encounter.

  After hearing Feng Jie's account, Lin Feng became even more unwilling to let her stay in this dangerous place any longer.

  "Master Lin, I know you're doing it for my own good, but I really can't just ignore them. I won't be able to do that, and if I did, I would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life," said Feng Jie.

  Lin Feng felt a pang of sympathy in his heart, this girl was too silly, but she was silly in a way that was so cute.

  Lam Fung wanted to take Feng Jie away right now, but she insisted on not leaving.

  With a sigh of helplessness, Lin Feng bowed his head and kissed Phoenix's fragrant cheek, saying: "Don't call me Young Master anymore, call my name."

  Before, Lin Feng was always uncertain about his feelings towards Feng Jie, but now he's clear, he cares about this girl, she has already become a part of his life.

  Lin Feng ultimately failed to persuade Feng Jie to leave and had no choice but to leave Chunfeng Building alone with a sullen face.

  Lin Feng walked out of Chunfeng Building when it was already dusk.

  On his way back to the warehouse, Lin Feng thought about the conversation he had with Chunfeng Building and Feng Jie after that, it was a sweat-inducing experience.

  At that time, Feng Jie asked: "Are you going back tonight?"

  She no longer called Lin Feng "young master", nor did she address him by his name, although the two people were already very close, but the girl was still a bit shy and reserved.

  Lin Feng heard Feng Jie's words and his heart was filled with wild joy, even his body had a reaction, but he shamelessly pretended to be helpless and said: "You've already asked, do I still have the nerve to say no?"

  "What does this have to do with me?" Feng Jie blinked her clear big eyes and asked in puzzlement.

  Little girl, you're pretending to be innocent now, just wait and see how I'll deal with you.

  Lin Feng's big hand suddenly attacked, "hiss" and stretched into Feng Jie's clothes, a massage, only made Feng Jie gasp for breath, begging for mercy again and again.

  "Stop it, stop making a fuss, I still have things to do, please don't make a scene."

  "Let's put things in order first, I've already agreed with you, let's go back to the house and take care of the proper business before talking."

  Lin Feng said and hugged Feng Jie and stood up, walking towards his own package on the second floor.

  "Let me down quickly, I didn't mean that. What I asked was whether you're coming or not, and if I should make dinner for you, it's just a question of whether you need me to prepare something."

  Uh? Lin Feng was embarrassed and couldn't bear it, put down Feng Jie, said a sentence: "There's still something at home, I won't eat here." Turned around and fled in disarray.

  How embarrassing!

  Lin Feng had an urge to cover his face and not want to see anyone.

  Back at the warehouse, Lin Feng was surprised to find his father sitting in the living room.

  Dad has left, how did he come back?

  "Dad, why didn't you go back?" Lin Feng stood at the living room door for a moment, then walked in and asked.

  The father looked gloomy, heavily sighed and seemed to be in a bad mood.

  "He was intercepted by Japanese soldiers at the city gate and brought back."

  "Captured by Japanese soldiers and brought back, why?" Lin Feng asked again.

  "Who knows what's on the Japanese mind!" Father said with great indignation, and after finishing, he let out a long sigh, as if to vent all the depression in his chest.

  Lin Feng roughly guessed the purpose of the Japanese army and believed that his father didn't say anything not because he didn't know, but because he was unwilling to get involved again. So he didn't ask any more questions, sat down on the sofa for a while with his father, and then went back to his own room in the back.

  After that, Lin Feng spent several days preparing to avenge Xiao Dongzi, and every day he would go to Chunfeng Building to chat with Feng Jie and be intimate for a while.

  Lin Feng had asked Dalie and knew that it was a Japanese sergeant who shot and killed Xiaodongzi.

  Later, Lin Feng brought Da Li to hang around near the Japanese gendarmerie for several days and finally found that sergeant.

  Lin Feng's eyes widened in anger as he clearly saw the sergeant's appearance.

  Damn it's this again!

  Who is it?

  Ito Kamejiro

  The one who shot Xiao Dongzi was actually Ito Kamejiro, it's really too coincidental.

  Lin Feng had always hated him for trying to bully Yue Xiang at the West City Gate, and he didn't expect that the killer who shot Xiao Dongzi was also him.

  "Damn it, you're so annoyingly alive, can't wait to find someone to help you transcend and hurry up to reincarnate again!" Lin Feng cursed Ito Kamejiro in his heart.

  "Go back." Lin Feng confirmed the target and shouted loudly, then turned around and walked back.

  "Hey, isn't this Young Master Lin?"

  Lin Feng had just turned around and taken a few steps when he heard a strange and awkward greeting from behind him.

  Without turning his head, Lin Feng could tell who the person speaking was - Huang Er Daren.

  Damn it, how did I run into this guy here.

  As for Huang Er Dang Zi, Lin Feng couldn't say he wasn't familiar with him.

  Before the Japanese army captured Xiping County, there were several well-known young factions in the county seat.

  Among them, a group was led by Lin Feng and several other rich and powerful families' sons, while the others were all made up of hoodlums.

  Among these forces composed of hoodlums, the most powerful were Huang Er Dangzi from Dongcheng District and Hu Biao from Xicheng District. These two groups often clashed in armed battles over competing interests.

  Two groups of people in order to expand their own strength, need a backing behind them, both had found Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng finally chose to support Hu Biao, because he didn't like Huang Er's cunning and ruthlessness, while Hu Biao was relatively more loyal and righteous.

  Hu Biao was able to suppress Huang Er Duanzi before the arrival of the Japanese army because he had Lin Feng's support.

  Never expected the world would be in such a state.

  That afternoon, Lin Feng saw Huang Er Dangzi and the Japanese sitting together on the stage at the Walnut Garden meeting, it seems that this kid has hugged the leg of the Japanese military.

  This Huang Er is really not a good thing, before seeing Lin Feng would always dodge if possible, and if not, would proactively go forward to bow, now that he has hugged the legs of the Japanese army, he actually dares to shout in front of Lin Feng, it seems like he wants to pick a fight for revenge.
