"Recognize him? Isn't that the one who claims to be the descendant of the Ghost Valley Divine Doctor?"
"So he's your son!"
Lin Feng said, feigning surprise.
Seeing that Lin Feng genuinely knew Chen Fan, Chen Tai's smile grew more triumphant. "Indeed, my son has apprenticed under Ghost Valley, and his medical skills are exceptional."
"Since this young leader knows my son, he is also a friend of our Chen family."
"How about this, I'll have someone prepare a table of good food, and we can chat while we eat."
Chen Tai got up, leaning on his cane.
"No need for a meal. Let's talk about what happened to Su Xiaoyue first."
"You already see that your son and I are friends. Since we're friends, Old Man Chen, you might as well stop hiding things from me."
Lin Feng said tentatively.
Hearing this, Chen Tai sat back down and pondered. "This young leader, I really don't know Su Xiaoyue. Why don't you wait for my son to return and ask him?"
*Bang!*
Lin Feng finally lost his patience and slammed the table.
"Chen Tai, don't push your luck. I'll ask you one last time, where is Su Xiaoyue?"
Lin Feng glared angrily at Chen Tai, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
Chen Tai's expression changed, and the two bodyguards behind him immediately slipped their hands into their pockets and pulled out revolvers, aiming them at Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Qingniao frowned but said nothing.
She knew Lin Feng's abilities well; a mere couple of revolvers couldn't do much to him.
It was Chen Tai who was acting lawlessly by using weapons against Lin Feng in broad daylight!
"Young leader, look at this mess. Why did you get agitated while we were talking?"
"Chen really knows nothing about any Su Xiaoyue. Are you going to sit down obediently, or...?"
Chen Tai smirked insincerely, having never taken Lin Feng seriously from the start.
Lin Feng saw that this old fox, Chen Tai, wouldn't spill the beans until he saw the coffin. He flicked his finger towards the bodyguard beside Chen Tai.
Before the two bodyguards could react, they fell straight to the ground.
This sudden development made Chen Tai's facial muscles twitch. He clapped his hands and said, "Young leader is indeed a master of hidden capabilities. But even if you kill me, I won't know who you're talking about, Su Xiaoyue."
"Moreover, my son has a bad temper. If he knows you're causing trouble in my home, you might not even be able to remain friends."
"Come, take Chen's advice, young man. Calm down, don't be so impulsive."
Chen Tai was still feigning composure.
"Calm down my foot! Still playing games with me? Do you really think I, Lin Feng, am easy to bully!"
Lin Feng could no longer stand it. The old fellow was always beating around the bush, claiming ignorance.
He then moved with lightning speed, grabbed Chen Tai by the neck, and lifted him entirely from his chair.
"Old man, my patience is limited. Either you confess honestly, or your son will be back to mourn you!"
Lin Feng gripped Chen Tai's throat fiercely, a killing intent already flashing in his eyes.
But Chen Tai had weathered many storms and remained unfazed even when facing Lin Feng's threat.
"Young leader, I told you I don't know. You can kill me, and I still have nothing to tell."
Chen Tai remained stubborn.
Lin Feng, enraged, slammed Chen Tai hard onto the ground. For a moment, he was truly helpless against the old man.
This fellow wasn't afraid of death, his will had long been tempered into steel.
Even if he used a talisman to force the truth out of him, it would be useless.
Talismans were ineffective against those with strong willpower.
Just as Lin Feng felt stumped, Qingniao suddenly pointed to the rapidly changing sky outside the window.
"Lin Feng, look at that cloud!"
Lin Feng followed Qingniao's finger and immediately saw a patch of dark clouds enveloping a villa in the villa area.
"Chen Tai, you don't need to say anything now. So you hid Su Xiaoyue in another villa. Did you think you could deceive everyone like this?"
Lin Feng smiled in realization.
He then rushed towards the villa shrouded in dark clouds with Qingniao.
Chen Tai could no longer maintain his composure and roared, "Quick, quickly call Xiao Fan and tell him to come back immediately!"
Chen Tai panicked. If Su Xiaoyue fell into the hands of Lin Feng and Qingniao, all his efforts over the years would be in vain.
At this moment, Lin Feng and Qingniao had already reached the villa shrouded in dark clouds.
They saw that the sky was clear everywhere else, yet this villa was covered in dark clouds, with a drizzling rain falling.
The villa gate was locked, and several bodyguards stood guard at the entrance.
Clearly, Su Xiaoyue was being held captive here by Chen Tai.
Lin Feng did not hesitate. He rushed forward, instantly took down the few bodyguards, and then blasted open the locked villa door with a palm strike.
As expected, the moment Lin Feng and Qingniao entered the villa, they heard a girl's sobbing.
Following the sound, Lin Feng and Qingniao made their way to the villa's basement.
To their surprise, they found a girl chained up in the basement.
The girl's hair was disheveled, and a thick iron chain secured her right leg.
Upon seeing someone approach, the girl, startled, immediately stopped crying. Like a frightened rabbit, her trembling body curled into a ball.
"Are you Su Xiaoyue?"
Qingniao asked in surprise.
The girl, frightened, dared not answer Qingniao's question.
"Little girl, we are special investigators from the Seventh Division, and we are here specifically to rescue you."
"Don't be afraid, we'll take you out now."
Lin Feng, sensing Su Xiaoyue's fear, spoke gently and stepped forward, grabbing the iron chain that bound her.
Then, with a slight exertion of his palm, he snapped the chain.
As the chain fell away, Su Xiaoyue, like a startled rabbit, lunged into Lin Feng's embrace.
"Wuwuwu!"
As if enduring immense grievance, Su Xiaoyue, now rescued, cried out loud in Lin Feng's arms.
As her cries grew louder, Lin Feng clearly felt the rain outside intensifying.
Evidently, they had found the right person; this girl was indeed Su Xiaoyue.
But why had Chen Tai locked Su Xiaoyue in the basement? What conspiracy was this old man brewing?
Lin Feng couldn't figure it out for the moment. After much effort, he managed to persuade Su Xiaoyue to leave the basement.
Having escaped the basement, Su Xiaoyue's emotions gradually stabilized.
Lin Feng sat her down on the villa sofa. The dark clouds outside gradually dispersed, and warm sunlight shone on Su Xiaoyue's pale little face.
This touch of warmth seemed to mesmerize the girl.
She hadn't seen sunlight in a long time. Her bright red eyes stared blankly at the clear sky outside the window, lost in thought.
"It's alright now, everything is fine."
"Don't worry, with us here, no one can harm you."
"My name is Lin Feng, and this is Qingniao. We are both from the Seventh Division, sent specifically to rescue you."
Lin Feng introduced himself.
Su Xiaoyue came back to her senses and looked at Lin Feng. Sensing no malice from him, she nodded slightly.
"Qingniao, take Xiaoyue away first. Find a place for her to take a bath and change into clean clothes."
Lin Feng knew Su Xiaoyue had been badly frightened and wasn't in a hurry to question her.
