MTLNOVEL Chapter 177: Ambushed!
"Uncle, how's it going over there? Did you find that Chen Peng?" Chu Feifei asked Jiang Feng after feeling melancholic for a while.
"I found him; he confessed everything. It was the Han Family who bribed him to do it." Jiang Feng replied expressionlessly.
"The Han Family?? Han Lengxuan??" Chu Feifei was instantly agitated, sitting up straight as she recalled the incident at the Beach Bathing Place where Han Lengxuan clashed with Jiang Feng. It was that guy who orchestrated everything!
"Despicable! A young master of the Han Family doing such a disgraceful thing!" Chu Feifei was full of righteous indignation.
"When I return, I'll reveal the whole truth and clear Bai Zhiqing and Fengming's names!" Jiang Feng said coldly.
"Alright, Uncle, I'll wait for you to come back! You've worked hard going south this time; I'll make you something delicious when you return," Chu Feifei encouraged.
She's going to cook?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's violent aura quickly dissipated. He felt it was both amusing and pitiful but didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm: "Alright."
After hanging up the video call with Chu Feifei, Nangong Qingcheng also sent a message. She was anxious too, especially since Bai Zhiqing, their business partner, was locked up in detention, leaving her sleepless.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to comfort Nangong Qingcheng over the phone, telling her not to worry too much, that everything would be resolved when he returned the next day. The Han Family would pay, and Bai Zhiqing would be fine.
As soon as he sent the voice message, the bathroom door opened, and Situ Yan had finally finished her shower.
With no change of clothes, she was wrapped only in a bath towel, nothing constraining her inside, accentuating her hot and sexy figure. The towel wasn't tightly tied at the top, and her long, round legs were completely exposed.
Her wet feet were bare as she walked out.
"Who were you talking to?" Her delicate face was slightly flushed, possibly from the shower or shyness, looking as if it could be easily bruised.
"Just sent a voice message." Jiang Feng took a deep breath and stood up, saying, "Are you done? I'll go take a shower."
"Hey..." Just as Jiang Feng stepped into the bathroom, Situ Yan immediately reacted with a shout and rushed back: "Wait a moment you--"
But it was too late!
In the bathroom, Jiang Feng saw Situ Yan's freshly washed socks and underwear hanging on the rod, not yet aired out, very conspicuous.
Situ Yan gave Jiang Feng a glare, then, with her blushing cheeks, went in to collect her belongings and silently walked out.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward and strange...
...
The night passed without words.
Although Jiang Feng and Situ Yan did not sleep too soundly in the latter half of the night, nothing happened.
Jiang Feng slept on the sofa, and Situ Yan had the bed to herself, distinctly dividing their spaces.
The only disturbance was the noise from a couple next door in the middle of the night, which made Situ Yan very upset.
The soundproofing of the small hotel was terrible, and in the end, Situ Yan couldn't take it anymore, got up wearing Jiang Feng's clothes, and went out to fiercely kick their door until they quieted down.
But after coming back, she slept even worse, staring at the ceiling, occasionally glancing at Jiang Feng curled up on the sofa, almost lost in thought all night.
In the morning, she woke up with two dark circles under her eyes, looking quite unwell.
Jiang Feng took her downstairs for a quick breakfast before catching a taxi back to the city. Then they headed straight to the train station to buy tickets back to Binhai.
By the time Kong Xiang found out to come and see them off, it was already too late; they were already on the train, leaving Kong Xiang with a sense of regret and deep guilt for not fulfilling his host duties.
In fact, thanks to the help of Jiang Feng and Situ Yan, Chen Peng was captured, resolving the negative impact on the Guoguo Company. Early in the morning, Guoguo sent a banner of commendation, and the head of the operation department of Su City also wished to meet Jiang Feng and Situ Yan, but seemed to miss the chance.
"That Jiang Feng is truly a legendary figure! He still doesn't know that the chaos he caused last night at the White Horse Club has caused such a huge sensation after a night of fermenting, does he?"
"There's no chance this time, maybe next time. When you come again, I'll make sure to host you properly," Kong Xiang thought to himself as he watched the train gradually disappear into the distance.
...
After boarding the train, Situ Yan couldn't hold on any longer, tilted her head, and fell asleep on Jiang Feng's shoulder.
To keep her from slipping off, Jiang Feng had to wrap his arm around her waist to steady her.
As people passed by, many looked at Jiang Feng with envy, seeing him with such a beautiful woman.
When the train stopped at a mid-journey station, Situ Yan was shaken awake, looking at the outside with some confusion, she asked Jiang Feng, "Where are we?"
"We're halfway there. Keep sleeping; I'll wake you when we arrive," Jiang Feng said calmly.
Situ Yan looked at Jiang Feng and realized she had been sleeping on his shoulder, and Jiang Feng discreetly withdrew his hand from her waist, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.
But she pretended not to notice, brushed her hair back, and said while looking at the carriage a short distance ahead, "I'm going to the restroom."
Jiang Feng moved aside to let her pass, watching her leave the car. He then rolled his shoulder; it was indeed a bit sore after being used as a pillow for almost three hours.
Just then, a gunshot rang out, startling all the passengers in the carriage.
Everyone turned in shock and heard someone in the front shouting, "Someone's been shot!! Help!!!"
Then, as if fearing the person wasn't thoroughly dead, the attacker fired another shot, plunging the entire carriage into chaos. Men shouted in panic, women screamed, and children's cries filled the air, loud and piercing.
A terrible premonition surged in Jiang Feng's heart. He leapt from his seat like lightning, swiftly weaving through the panicked crowd to the restroom at the front of the carriage, where he saw Situ Yan shot twice, slumping weakly against the door.
Her chest and side bore two ghastly bullet holes, blood gushing relentlessly, dyeing the front of her clothes red, even dripping onto the floor beneath her.
She looked up with great difficulty when Jiang Feng arrived, attempting to speak but unable to utter a word, blood trickling from her lips.
At this moment, there was little pain in her eyes, only deep regret and affection. Who would have thought that sleeping on Jiang Feng's shoulder was the final goodbye!
An overwhelming rage enveloped Jiang Feng. He was about to crouch down to check Situ Yan's injuries when suddenly, from the front carriage, an assailant appeared, raising a semi-automatic pistol and began firing at Jiang Feng, shot after relentless shot, aiming to take his life!
