Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 776 - 781

Would my staying put the bureau in a more passive position? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Ye Lin thought for a moment and silently opened her mouth. She understood what Wang Zhongzhi meant. If the culprits were targeting her, Ye Lin, her insistence on staying would likely make everyone in the bureau anxious, fearing the gunman might reappear...

"Alright... I will accept Director Wang’s arrangement..." Ye Lin glanced at her colleagues around her and finally nodded, agreeing with Wang Zhongzhi’s viewpoint.

"Very well..." Wang Zhongzhi suddenly looked at Ye Lin with deep meaning and said calmly, "During your leave, you can keep your sidearm. However, you must still adhere to the regulations for firearm use as if you were on duty..."

This meant he was allowing her to keep the means for self-defense! Ye Lin looked at Wang Zhongzhi gratefully and nodded emphatically. "I understand, Director Wang."

"Alright, you go back now. Be careful!" Wang Zhongzhi waved at Ye Lin, instructing her in a deep voice.

Just like that, Ye Lin left the Nanjiang Bureau with Lin Feng, becoming a temporarily off-duty Detective Team Captain...

"Your Director Wang doesn’t seem to care much about you... Does he have some problem with you?" After stepping out of the Nanjiang Bureau’s premises, Lin Feng suddenly said to Ye Lin with a smile. He could see that Ye Lin’s spirits seemed very low. However, Lin Feng could understand; any ordinary person surviving such a life-threatening ordeal would likely be in a state of panic for quite some time.

"Lin Feng, don’t talk nonsense... How could Director Wang have a problem with me!" Ye Lin raised her head and said to Lin Feng with a wry smile, "Some time ago, there was an incident at the Tianxing Club, and the city leaders were furious. Director Wang has been under immense pressure lately. With what happened today, Director Wang’s reaction is quite normal..."

So that’s how it is... Lin Feng knew that news of the fire at the Tianxing Club had even made the national television news in China. Although no casualties were reported in the accident, some people with ulterior motives online were fabricating data, claiming the Jiangzhou City police were deliberately concealing the number of casualties...

"By the way... Lin Feng, thank you for what happened just now!" Ye Lin suddenly turned to Lin Feng, her face slightly flushed, and said with a very serious expression.

Ye Lin didn’t dare to imagine. If Lin Feng hadn’t been there just now, after being riddled with dozens of shots from a submachine gun, the consequences would have been terrifying... With such a way to die, her body would probably have been turned into chunks of meat!

Just imagining that terrifying scene made Ye Lin’s hands and feet go numb with fear. At the same time, her gratitude for Lin Feng saving her life deepened.

"What happened just now? What are you talking about?" Lin Feng feigned ignorance, looking at Ye Lin with a grin as he played dumb.

"Hmph, pretend you don’t know then. Anyway, I’ve already thanked you..." Ye Lin huffed, pretending to be unhappy.

"Hehe..." Lin Feng chuckled, looking at Ye Lin. "Great Beauty Ye, you’re being too stingy, aren’t you? I saved your life, yet you think a simple thank you is enough... Is your life so worthless?"

"Then what do you want? Do you want me to give you a grand gift? Or send you a silk banner of thanks?" Ye Lin glanced at Lin Feng discontentedly and asked in a deep voice.

"I don’t lack money, nor do I need a silk banner..." Lin Feng looked at Ye Lin lecherously, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, letting out a very sleazy laugh. "As the old saying goes: the debt of saving a life is as heavy as a mountain, and with no other way to repay it, one can only offer oneself in return..."

"Offer myself to you, my foot!" Hearing Lin Feng’s glib tongue spouting nonsense, Ye Lin couldn’t help but reach out her delicate hand and lightly tap Lin Feng on the forehead. "You actually dare to tell me to offer myself to you! For what happened just now, it’s possible you even got me involved. I haven’t even settled the score with you for that yet!"

Huh, did Ye Lin suddenly become smarter? Lin Feng was stunned. He did indeed feel it was more likely that the gunman’s target earlier was himself, and Ye Lin was just an innocent bystander unfortunately caught in the middle...

"In that case, to express a little of my remorse, how about I offer myself to you..." Lin Feng said to Ye Lin with a chuckle.

"Get lost..." Ye Lin shook her head, then flagged down a passing empty taxi. She turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, today’s incident is a bit strange. I need to go home and talk to my family about it. Let’s leave it at that for now!"

"Great Beauty Ye, you’re just leaving like this? What about me?" Seeing Ye Lin’s very serious expression, Lin Feng couldn’t help but want to tease her. "How about I take you home first, then take this taxi back? Maybe I can even meet your parents and chat about our marriage or something..."

"Marriage, my foot! Either hail a cab yourself or run back. I can’t be bothered with you anymore..." Ye Lin slammed the car door shut with a BANG, directly told the driver to go, and sped off, leaving quickly.

Only after the car Ye Lin was in had driven far away did the playful smile on Lin Feng’s face completely vanish, replaced by a grave expression...

Who would have thought that seemingly peaceful China has such deep waters? Compared to the overt, straightforward confrontations abroad, the people here are far more cunning, one after another, and their skill in launching sneak attacks is even more formidable... A self-mocking expression appeared on Lin Feng’s face as he muttered to himself, "But if you all like to play, then I’ll play along properly..."

I will let you all know that a wolf, besides being ruthless, also uses its brain...

After muttering these fierce words to the air for a moment, Lin Feng prepared to hail a taxi to go back. But as he walked, his gaze was suddenly captivated by an old man with a bookstall on the grass by the roadside...

The old man’s hair and beard were entirely white. He wore a long gown of a style from some unknown past era, giving him an air of great vicissitude. In front of him, a two-meter square, yellowed piece of cardboard was casually spread out—his simple bookstall. On the stall were several dozen thread-bound old books, looking very humble...

Except for the stall owner being a bit old and having few items, in the eyes of an ordinary person, this was a very common roadside stall. However, after Lin Feng saw this old man, his feet seemed rooted to the spot...

Because this white-bearded old man was none other than the one who had sold him the Yin Yang Life Changing Needle manual for thirty thousand yuan...

Lin Feng had thought he would never encounter this old man again in his life, but unexpectedly, he had run into him again today...

"Young man, it’s you?! What a coincidence. It’s rare for me to come out, yet I’ve bumped into you again..." The white-bearded old man had clearly recognized Lin Feng too. After greeting him with a chuckle, he said, "Meeting is fate. You’re an old customer, so I don’t need to say much. If you want to buy books today, I’ll give you a one percent discount!"

One percent discount?! Hearing the old man’s words, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel his lips twitch. What difference was there between this discount and no discount at all...?
