Chapter 2651 - 2650: Enlightened
Unexpectedly, Ling Feng suddenly felt a bit sentimental.
He knew it was all because he had seen Li Xiaonian reunite with his parents earlier in the afternoon, but he also realized that lately, he seemed to be too focused on other worlds.
The Earth he was on had been neglected and pushed to the back of his mind.
After staring blankly for a while, he saw five people at the next table only order four bottles of beer, then take turns filling their glasses, and drink heartily as if all the weariness of the day had dissipated.
Their blissful expressions made it seem as though they had gained the world.
Then, the sound of their conversation drifted over, talking about today’s work progress.
Ling Feng listened attentively, and within a few minutes, he heard them arguing, with one person saying that another was too meticulous with his work, insisting on redoing areas that clearly didn’t need any revisions.
The person being criticized replied, "I’m unconcerned with how others do it, but if I see it, it needs reworking. That’s my professional ethics!"
"How much is your professional ethics worth? The boss won’t pay you extra for this!" another person retorted.
"It’s not about the money. I have done my part, with no regrets!" that person said.
"Alright, alright, you’re right!"
The other person laughed and patted his shoulder, "I’m not holding a grudge. If I were really angry, I wouldn’t have kept working late with you. Cheers!"
After a brief quarrel, the few people made peace and drank another glass of beer.
Listening from nearby, Ling Feng suddenly felt touched.
The words of that migrant worker inspired him greatly; others might not care, but if he encounters it, he must address it!
As he pondered this, he suddenly felt something underfoot, looked down, and found that Little Bai had returned!
It was sitting on the ground, looking up at him!
With an expectant expression, it clearly wanted Ling Feng to give it more food!
Seeing it like this, Ling Feng laughed.
He then picked up a fragrant grilled kidney from the table, put it on the ground, and said, "This is for you to eat. No need to take it back for your kids. After you’re full, I’ll give you some meat to take back for them!"
The little dog tilted its head to look at him, seemed to understand the words, and then lowered its head and began eating voraciously.
Seeing this, Ling Feng was immediately amused.
This little dog is quite smart!
He thus resolved to take care of this little dog mother and its pups.
The little dog soon finished the kidney, looking satisfied and full.
Ling Feng no longer felt hungry. Seeing many leftovers on the table, he got up and approached the neighboring table: "Gentlemen, I ordered a bit too much today, and now I’m leaving. It’d be wasteful just to leave it. If you don’t mind, could you help me finish it?"
The few workers were stunned upon hearing this, instinctively glanced at his table, and indeed saw quite a bit of food left.
But one of them said, "Buddy, we appreciate your kind gesture, but you could pack it and take it home. Why give it to us?"
"Meeting is fate. As long as you don’t mind, that’s fine with me. I’m not from around here, just passing through, and have nowhere to store it!" Ling Feng smiled.
"Ah, well then!"
The few men exchanged glances, then one of them said to Ling Feng, "Thanks, buddy!"
"No problem, I wish you all smooth work!"
Ling Feng smiled and turned to settle his bill with the owner.
While paying, he added two hundred extra and said to the owner, "I’m also covering the bill for those migrant worker friends next door. Please give them a few more bottles of beer to relieve their fatigue!"
"Oh, you’re really a kind-hearted gentleman!"
The owner said with surprise.
"It’s nothing, just feeling a bit reflective."
Ling Feng smiled and turned to leave.
The little dog immediately followed him.
Ling Feng could have offered those workers greater benefits, like introducing them to join Ling Corporation or giving them a sum of money.
But he knew that while his intervention could change their lives, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
They earn their living through hard work, and they aren’t living an especially tragic life; perhaps their income exceeds that of average office workers!
Most importantly, their frugal living might simply be to save extra money for their wives and children.
Ling Feng wasn’t the type to indiscriminately help when not really necessary.
The little white dog originally intended to lead Ling Feng, but unexpectedly, Ling Feng seemed even more familiar with the route, walking ahead of it and quickly arriving at the old cement pipe.
He crouched down and looked inside at the four little pups, their beady eyes staring at him. Ling Feng said with a smile, "These little cuties are truly adorable!"
Little Bai sat beside him, quietly watching Ling Feng.
Turning back, Ling Feng said to it, "You’ve had a tough time supporting them. Now I want to take you to a place where you can have food, drink, and fun. Are you willing?"
"Ooh~"
Little Bai pawed the ground twice and made a soft whining sound from its throat.
It obviously was full of anticipation!
Ling Feng smiled and brought Little Bai and the four puppies into the Jade Token Space.
After leaving the forest, Ling Feng returned to the streets, feeling much brighter.
Doing evil stirs unease, but doing good brings tranquility. He felt that he had suddenly realized many things today.
Looking at the streetlights and the bustling cars, Ling Feng thought to himself that today’s trip to Wu Cheng was not in vain!
As he prepared to return to the hotel contentedly, a figure suddenly flashed across the street opposite him, disappearing at an astonishing speed!
Ling Feng was taken aback, knowing he hadn’t imagined it; someone really had darted into an alley at incredible speed!
After a moment of surprise, his divine sense expanded once more, directly entering the alley opposite.
𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Then Ling Feng saw a bizarre scene; the person was standing in the dark alley, taking off clothes!
Through his divine sense, he saw the other’s figure, clearly a graceful woman.
But the woman wore a mask, preventing him from seeing her face clearly for now.
Ling Feng felt curious; he knew that superpower users were becoming more frequent on Earth but management over superpower users within Huaxia was quite robust. Generally, they joined the security bureau or had other arrangements. Only a few who preferred freedom hadn’t joined national organizations but even then were strictly restrained in their actions.
And this woman, appearing suddenly at night and changing clothes in a dark alley, who was she?
