After the little hooligans ran away, only Li Qiang was left on the scene.
The onlookers had vented their anger and watched a good show.
When it was time to pack up, they packed up, and the ones who were going home went home.
By midnight, the crowd had mostly dispersed.
When Qin Feng was teaching the thugs a lesson, the onlookers were taking pictures and recording videos, all ready to release this exclusive news first.
But after watching from beginning to end, they found that nothing was saved on their phones.
Everyone’s faces were filled with surprise, and they left with a look of depression.
Qin Feng and Lin Xia helped Aunt Wang and her daughter pack up their stall and returned all the money Li Qiang had taken from the vendors before planning to leave.
Su Xiaowan caught up with them and quickly said, “Please wait a moment, I don’t know your names yet?”
Lin Xia giggled and introduced herself first, “I almost forgot, my name is Lin Xia, a freshman in the archaeology department.
He’s called Qin Feng, and he’s my boyfriend!”
Su Xiaowan awkwardly smiled; she had heard Lin Xia say this when she saw Qin Feng and Zhao Kai fighting in the back mountain.
Lin Xia mentioning it again here was actually a declaration of sovereignty, afraid Su Xiaowan would cling to Qin Feng.
Su Xiaowan understood her little intentions and quickly said, “Sister Lin Xia, Brother Qin Feng, thank you so much.
You’ve provoked Li Qiang for us, so be careful from now on; he certainly won’t let it go easily!”
Lin Xia glanced at Li Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and giggled, “Sister Su, don’t worry.
He’s lost all his face today, so no one will follow him to do bad things in the future!”
Su Xiaowan nodded with a smile, looked at Qin Feng with gratitude, and a hint of a different color appeared in her eyes.
Qin Feng, afraid of making Lin Xia unhappy, just smiled lightly and didn’t say a word from beginning to end.
After he and Lin Xia returned to the apartment, as soon as they opened the door, Lin Nan angrily looked at them and said, “What have you two been up to, why are you back so late?”
Lin Xia changed her shoes, eagerly hugged her sister’s arm, and immediately said, “Sis, you weren’t on the scene just now.
It was really thrilling today; Brother Qin single-handedly took on more than a dozen thugs and beat them until they knelt and called him dad!”
Lin Nan frustratingly glared and said, “I knew you two were up to no good.
Why take matters into your own hands?
You’re just adding more violence to society, don’t you know!”
Lin Xia impatiently went into the bedroom, quickly changed into a light nightgown, sat on the sofa, and pouted, “Anyone can talk big, but thugs doing evil is not a one-day thing.
Why don’t you police do something about it?
In my opinion, it’s the police’s inaction that’s adding to this society’s violence!”
Lin Nan was momentarily speechless, frustratingly sat on the sofa, really at a loss what to do with this sister.
Qin Feng sat beside her with a light smile, comforting her, “Miss Lin Nan, don’t worry.
I’ve already blocked all electromagnetic signals, so no one will expose this incident and cause you trouble!”
Lin Nan glanced at Qin Feng, exhaled a sigh and said, “I’m not worried about that.
Even if you two beat up those thugs harshly today, you can’t solve the problem fundamentally, and it might drive them to be more rampant.
Just wait and see; today’s thugs will definitely cause bigger issues!”
Qin Feng smiled faintly; after reading so much about law in the library, he understood Lin Nan’s point.
Violence is not the answer, but in that situation earlier, it was impossible for him to stand by and watch.
Li Qiang would face only two situations next: either he would quit the underworld, or wildly retaliate against Qin Feng to regain his reputation!
Qin Feng wasn’t afraid of his revenge, but he worried about other people being implicated, especially Aunt Wang and her daughter, who were likely targets.
Lin Xia, from the side, provocatively said, “Sister, are you upset because you’re handling cases poorly at school and using us as your outlet?
We did a good deed, and you keep criticizing us.
By your logic, letting thugs do evil is the way to thoroughly solve problems?”
Lin Nan flared up as soon as she heard this and said, “Lin Xia, shut up.
Keep talking nonsense, and you’ll go back to living at school immediately!”
Lin Xia stuck out her tongue at her, with a disdainful look, “I’m not going, I’m not going, I’ll just live here, makes you mad!”
Lin Nan frustratingly stood up, ready to teach her sister a lesson, when Qin Feng hurriedly pulled her back and said, “Alright, calm down, everybody.
Miss Lin Nan, Xiaoxia and I have discovered some clues at school, maybe they could help with your case?”
Lin Nan calmed down upon hearing this, but inexplicably felt a tinge of bitterness.
Qin Feng called her “Miss Lin Nan,” but he called Lin Xia “Xiaoxia.” Clearly, Qin Feng was now closer to Lin Xia.
She shook her head in slight annoyance, composing herself, and asked, “Tell me, what clues?”
Qin Feng had Lin Xia take out Wang Xiaosi’s business card and handed it to Lin Nan, saying, “Today, when Xiaoxia and I were in the library, we ran into this guy.
He was sneakily taking pictures of Xiaoxia with his phone, which I then destroyed.
When we came out, he approached and told us he’s a talent scout for Eastern Entertainment Company, responsible for discovering new artists at Jing University. New chapters come out on g.com first.
I feel we might be able to dig some clues from him!”
“Eastern Art Company!”
Lin Nan looked at the business card and murmured, raising an eyebrow, “What does this have to do with the drug trafficking case?”
Qin Feng shook his head, “No, it’s just my intuition.
I read in books that the entertainment industry is rampant with drug crimes.
This person’s behavior is suspicious, and he has some connections with the entertainment industry.
So, I find him suspect!”
Lin Nan frowned, “Until we have evidence, neither of you should act rashly.
I’ll have my colleagues look into this company, and if there’s indeed an issue, I’ll personally follow this lead!”
Qin Feng nodded.
After finishing their conversation with Lin Nan, it was already two or three in the morning.
Lin Xia was already lying on the sofa, snoring lightly.
As Lin Nan got up to go to her room to sleep, Qin Feng quickly said, “Miss Lin Nan, why don’t you carry Xiaoxia into the bedroom to sleep?”
Upon hearing this term of address, Lin Nan’s face instantly turned cold, and she unhappily said, “I’m not taking care of her; she can sleep wherever she wants!”
Before closing the door, she specifically reminded, “Qin Feng, in the future, call me by my name, and don’t add any ‘Miss’ or anything!”
Qin Feng frowned and asked, “Why, aren’t you a ‘Miss’?”
Lin Nan blushed, glaring, “You’re the one who’s not a ‘Miss.’ I just don’t like that title; why ask so much!”
After speaking, she closed the door, leaving only a stupefied Qin Feng.
He sighed helplessly, not knowing what women think.
Lin Xia occupied the living room, sleeping soundly.
Thinking for a moment, he didn’t wake this lazy pig but instead gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist to carry her back to the bedroom.
This was the first time he’d held a sleeping woman.
Compared to Lin Nan, Lin Xia’s body was lighter.
Her short slip nightgown couldn’t cover her body, fair and tender, also carrying a lingering fragrance.
Qin Feng found himself somewhat dazed by the sight, never expecting a girl could look so beautiful when asleep.
Her cheeks were round, truly tempting him to give a kiss.
