Chapter 906: Chapter 911: Xiang Wang’s Heartache
After Zhou Yang pacified Zhu Xiuyue, he vaguely felt a stroke of luck in his heart. He didn’t know Xiuyue’s thoughts at all, and being in such a relationship was really too dangerous. Thankfully, Brother Feng helped him!
Seeing the grateful look in Zhou Yang’s eyes, Lin Feng naturally guessed what the kid was thinking. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised it to Zhou Yang, signaling him to pay more attention to Zhu Xiuyue’s thoughts in the future.
Zhou Yang also picked up his cup and clinked it with Lin Feng’s, then gulped down his drink.
Next, Xiang Wang began to tell Lin Feng and the others about his experiences after the disbandment of the White Wolf Squad. It turned out, this little brat Xiang Wang had spent most of the past half year in Hawaii.
As a global tourist destination, Hawaii was naturally full of beauties from various countries. Xiang Wang had bought a seaside villa in Hawaii and basically invited a bunch of beautiful women to his place every now and then, living quite an enjoyable life.
However, Xiang Wang was worried about his identity being exposed, so he never dared to have a fixed partner. After each thrill, he always felt a bit empty. So, he once investigated Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi’s whereabouts online, and after discovering they had returned to China, he planted a modified Trojan horse in several browsers commonly used by Chinese people, leaving clues for them, hoping Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi would see it and contact him soon.
Who would have thought that the phone number Xiang Wang ended up with was Lin Feng’s? The process was really a bit sigh-worthy...
"Xiang Wang, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, looking at Xiang Wang’s somewhat chubby face. The White Wolf Squad had already disbanded, and Lin Feng no longer had any control over Xiang Wang’s actions; he was just casually asking.
Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi were similarly curious about Xiang Wang’s plans, and upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, they stared unblinkingly at Xiang Wang.
"I..." Xiang Wang glanced at Lin Feng, Zhou Yang, and Xue Qingyi, hesitated a bit, and said, "I want to stay in China for a while..."
"Hmph! You’ve really spread your wings, huh?" Zhou Yang was clearly dissatisfied with Xiang Wang’s response. In his heart, Xiang Wang should be quite dependent on the three of them. Brother Feng’s question was just giving him an opportunity to seek dependence, yet this little brat didn’t grasp it well, saying he’ll just stay for a while?! How childish, so disrespectful to Brother Feng!
Xue Qingyi also showed a faint hint of disappointment, although her feelings for Xiang Wang weren’t deep, Xiang Wang’s somewhat distanced words still made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Brother Feng..." Xiang Wang naturally understood Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi’s perspective, but he also had his own difficulties. "My parents are still in the USA... I want to find a chance to go back to see them, but I’ve always been afraid to return!"
Lin Feng knew about Xiang Wang’s situation. Xiang Wang’s family circumstances were different from theirs, as his biological parents were still alive and well in the USA. Because Xiang Wang was rescued from prison by Lin Feng, his parents had been under surveillance by the US police...
Being Chinese, Xiang Wang also held values of loyalty and filial piety. His biggest wish now was to be able to care for his parents in their old age, but that wish wasn’t easy to fulfill. Although Xiang Wang had modified all his records in the US police database and Lin Feng had helped him subtly alter his facial features, the police officers in his hometown could still recognize him to some extent!
Xiang Wang was now considered an escaped convict on the run. If he got caught by the US police again, he’d never leave prison for the rest of his life.
But no matter how dangerous it was, Xiang Wang couldn’t just abandon his increasingly aging parents.
This was Xiang Wang’s worry.
"Is that all you’re worried about?" Upon hearing Xiang Wang’s words, Zhou Yang casually waved his hand with a laugh, saying, "You’re such a little brat, always refusing to take on missions before. You’re still so timid! Getting scared over such a small issue, how will you handle big matters? The solution’s simple. I’ll promise you on Brother Feng’s behalf to bring your parents back from the USA, let them retire in China, and you can stay here and work for Brother Feng. Does that work for you?"
"Really?" Xiang Wang looked at Lin Feng with some excitement and asked softly, "Brother Feng, will you help me? I haven’t seen them for six or seven years... as long as my parents can safely return to China, I’m willing to do anything you ask!"
Lin Feng shook his head, responding calmly, "Xiang Wang, I won’t make such a deal with you."
"What?!" Xiang Wang was stunned, his eyes seemed to have lost all spirit.
"Boss?!" Zhou Yang also looked at Lin Feng with some confusion. With his understanding of Lin Feng, Lin Feng wouldn’t abandon Xiang Wang at a time like this, right? Why did Lin Feng say that all of a sudden?
Even outsiders like Xie Nan and Zhu Xiuyue found Lin Feng’s words a bit hard to understand. Was Brother Feng angry with Xiang Wang’s hesitant attitude and deliberately ignoring him?!
Only Xue Qingyi still believed in Lin Feng, looking at him with a smile, quietly waiting for his next words.
"I will figure out a way to bring your parents back to China from the USA..." Lin Feng said calmly to Xiang Wang, "This is something I owe you, and I will definitely help you achieve it! As for whether you choose to help me or not, the decision is yours. I won’t use the matter of your parents to coerce a deal out of you!"
The reason why Lin Feng said he owed Xiang Wang was that Xiang Wang’s imprisonment, being a first offense and a relatively minor computer crime, was originally sentenced to only three years. After three years, Xiang Wang could have returned to a normal life. It was Lin Feng who forcibly took him out of prison, turning him into a fugitive eternally living in the shadows, unable to ever freely live within the US borders...
"No! Boss, you don’t owe me anything..." After hearing Lin Feng’s latter words, Xiang Wang seemed to come back to life, shaking his head excitedly, denying Lin Feng. "Under your leadership, my life during that time was fulfilling and comfortable. I also earned a considerable amount of commission... If I had served my full three-year sentence and was released, my technical skills would have likely become rusty, and I’d always be under the watch of the US police, unable to achieve anything. I’d just be a useless nobody for the rest of my life! Brother Feng, you saved me, I’ve never denied that."
"Boss, I’m willing to stay and help you!" Xiang Wang looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes and said solemnly, "I just hope the boss will bring them all back before my parents pass away, please boss, you must agree to my request!"
What else could Lin Feng say? He suspected that if he delayed his agreement, this kid Xiang Wang might kneel in front of him...
"I promise you!" Lin Feng nodded earnestly at Xiang Wang.
"Thank you, Brother Feng!" Tears of gratitude streamed uncontrollably from Xiang Wang’s eyes.
"Don’t get too excited yet. I have a very important matter I need your help with right now!" Lin Feng suddenly leaned in to Xiang Wang’s ear and whispered a sentence.
