Upon hearing Huang Lan’s phone call, Chu Feng’s expression grew even darker.
If everything was as Huang Lan had said, it ant that the Elite Society might also be involved in his elder brother’s death.
Chu Feng returned to his room and said, "Big brother, there might be soone in the delegation connected to the Elite Society."
"Damn it! Such traitors should be shot on sight!" He Zhen exclaid furiously upon hearing Chu Feng’s words.
He Zhen, who had co from a background of gunfire and bullets, hated nothing more than traitors and the Elite Society in his life.
Xie ngying looked at He Zhen’s furious reaction, sowhat puzzled.
Lin Xue i looked kindly at Xie ngying and said, "Teacher Xie, I think you and I have a special connection. I would like to consider you my goddaughter. What do you think?"
Lin Xue i’s words left both Chu Feng and He Zhen stunned.
However, they soon understood.
This matter definitely couldn’t be pursued openly; it required a comprehensive strategy. But if it were dealt with covertly, it wouldn’t address Xie ngying’s imdiate concerns.
Most importantly, if the issue wasn’t resolved, Chu Feng certainly wouldn’t be able to compete with peace of mind.
And to not affect Chu Feng’s competition, avoid startling the enemy, and yet resolve the problem, that was precisely what Lin Xue i was proposing now.
Although Lin Xue i was just a university professor, her husband was a founding hero known as the Imperial Master. Her son was the City Party Secretary and a standing committee mber of Songjiang Province, the next governor.
So even though Lin Xue i held no official position, everyone was always polite to her.
If she told outsiders that Xie ngying was her goddaughter, even the Jin Family wouldn’t dare have Xie ngying marry an idiot and actually be the mistress of the second son.
The Jin Family did not have the courage to challenge He Zhen.
Although the Jin Family was a major clan and He Zhen had only one son, He Zhen had subordinates. To irritate the old man ant irritating them as well.
As long as the Jin Family didn’t leave Huaxia, regardless of their status as a renowned family or even a noble clan, what could they really do?
"Professor Lin, I..." Xie ngying, also a perceptive person, understood from Lin Xue i’s words that if she agreed tonight, the Jin Family wouldn’t dare bother her again.
"Sister ngying, what are you waiting for? Sister-in-Law doesn’t just take anyone as her goddaughter," Chu Feng urged.
Hesitantly, Xie ngying also called out, "Godmother!"
Lin Xue i happily responded, "I just wish I had a daughter as beautiful as you."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-Law, if you had a daughter, she would definitely be as beautiful as you."
Lin Xue i laughed heartily, "Xiao Feng, you speak much more pleasingly than this old man."
Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Xie ngying suddenly realized a problem.
That was, now that she called Lin Xue i ’Godmother’ and Chu Feng called her ’Sister-in-Law’, didn’t that make her a generation older than Chu Feng, aning she should call Chu Feng ’Uncle’?
But at the sa ti, she was Chu Feng’s teacher, and by ancient tradition, she was still Chu Feng’s elder, and now was of the sa generation as Lin Xue i and the others.
The relationships were truly complicated enough to give Xie ngying a headache.
"ngying, take this, I didn’t have much to give you for our first eting," Lin Xue i said as she took off her bracelet and handed it to Xie ngying.
"Godmother, I can’t accept this!" Xie ngying hastily declined.
"Here, take this, it’s for your godmother. Your godmother has only this piece of jewelry to wear all these years," He Zhen said.
Hearing He Zhen’s words, Xie ngying understood.
This was tantamount to giving her a token, clearly telling everyone. Xie ngying wasn’t just making a casual remark, she was acknowledged by Lin Xue i. The bracelet was the best proof.
"Sister ngying, you should take it," Chu Feng also said.
Pausing for a mont, Chu Feng said, "Sister-in-Law, I have so fine materials back at my place, one day I will bring you a piece, and then I will help you find soone to make another bracelet."
He Zhen asked, "Younger brother, what do you an by this?"
Chu Feng chuckled, "Old brother, it shouldn’t go against any principles, right? As a younger brother giving a gift to Sister-in-Law, it shouldn’t involve any disciplinary violation. And it’s just a piece of rock after all."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, Lin Xue i also said, "Sister-in-Law, you really don’t have to."
Chu Feng said, "Sister-in-Law, you don’t need to be so formal with , I heard Jianguo say that in a few days it will be your and big brother’s fiftieth wedding anniversary. I had already planned to give this gift, just giving it a bit earlier. If you don’t accept it, then you are looking down on as your younger brother."
"Okay! It’s rare for you to be so thoughtful, I will accept this gift," Lin Xue i said happily.
"Old brother, I will first take Sister ngying back ho, don’t worry, in the day after tomorrow’s competition, I will make sure those exchange group mbers are utterly confused. Let them tremble every ti they step on our turf," Chu Feng said.
He Zhen laughed heartily and said, "Good! On the day after tomorrow, I will bring Xuei along to watch your competition."
Chu Feng and Xie ngying left He Zhen’s house, and Xie ngying still felt a bit surreal.
She could never have imagined that the difficulties which almost pushed her to a corner could be resolved so effortlessly now.
"Sister ngying, where would you like to go? I’ll take you!" Chu Feng called back to Xie ngying.
Looking at Chu Feng, Xie ngying said sowhat awkwardly, "In front of Godmother, could you not call Sister ngying, please?"
Chu Feng was stunned montarily, then laughed heartily and said, "Alright! From now on in front of Sister-in-Law and the others, I’ll call you ’ngying niece’!"
Chu Feng deliberately emphasized the words ’niece,’ which angered Xie ngying enough to glare and raise her hand to hit Chu Feng.
"If you dare take advantage of , see if I don’t beat you to death," Xie ngying chased after Chu Feng, trying to hit him.
Chu Feng laughed heartily, and after Xie ngying had hit him a few tis, he said, "From now on, I’ll just call you ngying. I feel that’s more affectionate."
Xie ngying nodded and said, "Okay!"
"ngying, where do we go now?" Chu Feng asked.
Hearing Chu Feng calling her so affectionately, Xie ngying’s heart fluttered, and she said, "I want to sit by the lake."
Chu Feng chuckled, "Do you want to sit by the lake, or do you want to warm your feet? If it’s for warming your feet, we don’t need to go to the lake, any place will do."
Xie ngying’s face blushed slightly, she gave Chu Feng a glare and said, "Are you courting death? I have sothing I need to ask you."
Chu Feng seriously said, "ngying, I know what you want to ask. But I can’t tell you, it will only put you in danger. If this matter is resolved, I will tell you everything."
Xie ngying said, "Was my father really killed by soone from the Jin Family?"
Chu Feng said, "If it was three years ago, I can almost be certain. And since you said your father was an engineer in the energy sector, I can be even more certain. As for more, I won’t say now, but I will tell you the answer later."
Xie ngying nodded, and a trace of anger appeared in her eyes as she said, "The Jin Family really made my father suffer greatly, if possible, don’t let them off."
Chu Feng nodded firmly and said, "I will!"
