Chapter 866 - Your best will never serve its purpose.
Jing Wei Jin was not surprised seeing Feng Shufen identify their clan safety seal so easily. To identify it at the first glance wasn't an easy task for anybody because the green jadeite shaped in the pendant has always been a rare sight for the common people. But at the sa ti, to Feng Shufen it wasn't a tough job as well.
Given his subjective control over the dark world of the mafia, knowing about different clan's security seals like this was easy for him.
Jing Wei Jin looked at him nonchalantly before pulling a small smile of obviousness on his expression to continue more. "Since you have not let get Li Xue in any other way, I have taken her to be a friend. And given this security seal is the best I could do for her. I hope you won't have any issue with that". He said and the very next second, Feng Shufen stood up.
His eyes were strict on his, while his hand got inside his pants pockets before getting clenched into fists. "Your best would never serve its purpose if, in the end, you are the one planning to harm her. Be careful! This ti you may not be able to hide it and play the role of a good friend for longer." He spoke and then without waiting for another second, turned to take his way out.
"President Feng!" From behind, Jing Wei Jin called, and at the front, Feng Shufen stopped as well. But he never turned to look his way. His attitude was enough to let anyone know how uninterested he was in the other weaved stories.
Jing Wei Jin looked at the man and then bending a little forward he got the brocade box closed before standing up to take a walk after Feng Shufen. "This is the gift I have gifted to her and you have made her accept. If later she doesn't get to see in at ho, things might only get complex. So take it back to her". He said, extending back the box in the hands of the man.
Feng Shufen stared down at the box as he heard his words. Then without raising any disagreent took back the box and left.
Just after he left, Jing Shaoqing ca rushing in with frowning brows. "Brother, why did you give our clan security seal to her. Did you forget what aning that seal held for us? How could you give it so easily? And what if that seal gets used against us? That ti we won't be able to do anything."
"That was the least I could do at the mont." Jing Wei Jin said simply before turning to walk away. But he was in the middle of his steps when the boy from behind said in a bit of a distrusted tone.
"But brother, I thought you were always on her side. Then why did you still …"
"I am still on her side. But regarding her, I can't bear to take risks. Things might seem simple today but we cannot be sure of the future. Especially, when we …" He paused his words, not finding it useful to continue ahead. Shrugging his shoulders he added a bit discreetly, "Anyway, it's better to be a little cautious today than to suffer tomorrow. I would let our seal protect her with all its might, even if it is just for once; even if it ans endangering the whole of our clan." He said before turning to give a small interpretive smile over his shoulders.
While on the other side, Feng Shufen's car was on its way back to Feng Internationals. Gao Fan was driving ahead but his eyes were looking back at the man from ti to ti. He could already feel that sothing was not right, although it was looking all calm and composed over the surface. More like it was feeling as if a thunderous storm was brewing in oblivion.
"President Feng, should we increase the security around Madam and little young miss?" He asked before continuing more. "If we remain cautious from the beginning, I am sure no harm will co in their way".
"Caging her within our protection would not be sothing she would want, nor would I give her. We already have people around her, making sure they remain invisible to her and the world. For the rest, we have to find another way soon." He said, pinching the space between his brows.
It was not like he did not have ways to protect her and keep her safe. But keeping her under the protection according to his plans would only make her feel like she has been caged within several eyes. And those human bands of protection would be tough to explain.
Gao Fan looked at the man and heard his words. Though his brain could get the logic behind those words, he still nodded understanding it to be a command from the person. "I will ask our n to be careful." He ?ssured, before looking back at the route he was driving on.
Behind, Feng Shufen was looking out from the window. Though it was just the morning, his eyes were already looking like it was glaring at the night sky for its darkness. His thoughts were not easy to read, neither anyone had the guts to stare and read them into his eyes. Anxiousness was slightly evident in his deanor but it never got the chance to get on the control.

On the other side, Li Xue walked inside the company. As she took the stroll, people's eyes turned to her and she didn't need to ask for curiosity in their gazes. She already knew what those curious gazes were looking for. After all, the incident that happened with those Shadow guards didn't stay down for even an hour. The whole country was curious about them, how could her own company people would not?
As she walked, she could hear people talking. But it wasn't making her feel shy, rather she was feeling quite entertained by their comnts and thoughts. If she would have got the ti, she would have loved to stay back and hear them say more. But at the mont she needed to speak to her manager who must be waiting for her.
She was walking her way inside when suddenly a call from behind halted her in her steps. "Sister Xue!!"
