Chapter 1197 - 1202: A Peaceful Night
Little River Bridge is one of the famous landmarks in the university town. The dim street lights, stars and moonlight adorning the sky, and the starlight reflected in the river, combined with the well-spaced birch forest, make it suitable for hiding tracks. Walking here feels very naturally secretive. Many couples would come here to date, and the way Lin Feng and Ye Lin almost embraced while walking on the forest path didn’t draw any attention from others.
"The environment here is really nice..." Ye Lin, held by Lin Feng, felt that the originally chilly wind seemed to suddenly turn gentle. She slightly raised her head, looking up at Lin Feng’s well-defined face, and chuckled softly, "If it weren’t for work, I’d really want to take some time and have a good walk with you here."
"Then don’t work! Anyway, I can afford to support you!" Lin Feng lowered his head, seriously gazing at Ye Lin’s face, seemingly jokingly said.
Ye Lin’s face stiffened, her gaze froze, and after glancing at Lin Feng, she bit her lower lip slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you mean it?"
"If you want, I can support you!" Lin Feng looked into Ye Lin’s eyes and said earnestly.
At this moment, Lin Feng and Ye Lin deeply looked into each other’s eyes, almost forgetting their respective tasks.
Not sure how long it took, Ye Lin shyly moved her eyes away, shook her head, and said, "No, Lin Feng, even if you can afford to support me, it’s useless. Actually, even if I don’t work, I have money to spend, but I can’t always be alone at home, waiting for you all day! Besides, my dad won’t let me do that either... "
"You can get another job!" Lin Feng suddenly thought this was a good opportunity, just like Wu Mei; he too didn’t want Ye Lin in a dangerous front-line job. This might sound a bit selfish, but it’s a selfish world; if you don’t have the ability to change jobs, you just have to endure it. If you have the ability, why not change?!
"If you really want to stay in the police, I can find a way to transfer you to the publicity system?" Lin Feng looked at Ye Lin’s pretty face and stated seriously, while thinking a bit mischievously, if both Ye Lin and Wu Mei were transferred to the publicity system, it would save him the trouble of dating them both separately... no need to run to two places.
"What bad idea are you cooking up?" Ye Lin gave Lin Feng a flirty glance and jokingly said, "Didn’t you just say I was wearing too little, so why are you encouraging me to go to the publicity department now? Aren’t you afraid of me being in the spotlight? Or, do you have some shady plans in mind?"
"What shady plans do I have..." Lin Feng awkwardly smiled and acted very innocent, "You’re overthinking it, I’m just afraid it’s too dangerous for you!"
"If I were afraid of danger, I wouldn’t work in the police at all..." Ye Lin shook her head, pursed her lips and said, "Changing posts means nothing to me; I just want to enhance my skills through combat!"
"Then why don’t you come to my Martial Hall as a coach?" Lin Feng laughed, "Speaking of which, my Martial Hall recently lacks female coaches and offers high pay... It would slowly enhance your strength, while giving a good salary, isn’t that great!"
"Is this how you poach people?" Ye Lin rolled her eyes at Lin Feng speechlessly, "If our leader hears this, they’ll definitely scold you for using sweets as weapons to erode people’s hearts..."
Lin Feng dismissed it with a smile, "I don’t care what they think, anyway, you’re my woman. If they don’t like it, I’ll offer you a million per month. I guess that’s more than the operating expenses of your entire sub-bureau. Let’s see what reason they have to stop you then!"
Ye Lin looked at Lin Feng speechlessly; she knew Lin Feng indeed had the guts to do such things and he also had the financial capability.
Ye Lin and Lin Feng, like lovers in a passionate relationship, chatted while hugging tightly. Others either were too nervous or didn’t notice them at all, almost everyone ignored the two and went about their own business.
When Lin Feng finally loosened his grip on Ye Lin a little, the dozen or so people standing by the shore had all dispersed.
Lin Feng slightly turned his head to look at the small boat. On its bow, a bald man was leisurely counting money, while the man who had been standing under the willow tree was now sitting in the cabin.
As if sensing Lin Feng’s gaze, the bald man turned his head towards Lin Feng, showing a peculiar expression on his face, "Little Brat, why are you looking at me, your grandpa? If you don’t quickly take your girl and leave, watch out, lest I get angry and keep you both here!"
The bald man spoke arrogantly, with a defiant smile on his face, thoroughly enjoying this tyrannical demeanor.
Lin Feng said nothing, simply looking at him quietly.
The bald man didn’t think much of it, turning his head to glance at the man inside the cabin, saying, "Damn it, these college students are really carefree, going out at midnight instead of sleeping in their dorms, running to such a ghostly place to date... It’s a pity I didn’t get into college back then, so I didn’t have a girlfriend... uh, no! What’s the use of a girlfriend, I have plenty of women now! As long as I throw money around, lots of women will flock to Uncle Qi..."
The other man on the boat chuckled at the bald man’s words and nodded, "You’re right, Qige, compared to those company white-collar workers slaving away after graduating college, you live much more freely!"
Just then, Lin Feng suddenly walked closer to the small boat with his arm around Ye Lin’s waist and asked, "I wonder which one of you is Mr. Qi?"
The two onboard froze a bit, turned their heads to glance at Lin Feng, and the bald man frowned and spoke, "Kid, who are you, and why do you know my nickname, Qi?"
So this bald man was Chen Laoqi! Lin Feng took a closer look at him and said with a smile, "So you’re Uncle Qi, truly distinguished and outstanding!"
"Cut the crap, who are you, and why are you looking for me, Qi, for no reason?" The bald man glared at Lin Feng and asked in a deep voice.
Lin Feng and Ye Lin exchanged a knowing glance, smiling, and tossed out a psychological bait, "I wonder if the two of you dare to do some big business with me!"
To lure these guys, Lin Feng deliberately acted very mysteriously and said, "An amount you can’t even imagine..."
The bald man and the man inside the cabin exchanged a suspicious glance and asked curiously, "An amount we can’t imagine? Go on, tell us..."
A deal big enough to send you both on your way, is that big enough!
Sure enough, they took the bait, Lin Feng laughed secretly, knowing that these guys would be green-eyed at the mention of big business.
Chen Laoqi slightly squinted, staring at Lin Feng, sternly warning, "The grandpas’ time is very precious, kid, don’t you try to fool us!"
"It’s like this!" Lin Feng pointed to a small box on the boat and smilingly said to the two onboard, "I’d like to buy ten boxes of the goods in your box! I wonder if the two of you are interested in chatting with me?"
The two onboard followed Lin Feng’s finger, their faces suddenly froze, dazed for a few seconds, and then looked at Lin Feng with a bit of disbelief.
