Super Soldier in Campus

Chapter 1066 - 1071: Learning the Truth

Hearing Su Zhenxian talk to Lin Feng in that tone, the bodyguards behind him couldn’t help showing a look of envy toward Lin Feng. To win the favor of a chancellor of a nation—especially a great country like China—Lin Feng’s future was limitless!Su Zi’s face also lit up with joy. She knew that the more weight Lin Feng carried in Su Zhenxian’s heart, the fewer obstacles there would be between her and Lin Feng...

Among the few people present, the most unhappy one was Xue Qingyi. She’d gone to all that trouble to help Lin Feng, but it wasn’t so she could push Lin Feng into Su Zi’s arms...

However, with so many people around, no matter how unhappy Xue Qingyi was, she didn’t say anything to Lin Feng... In front of outsiders, no matter what, you have to save some face for your man—that’s what a smart woman does.

"You two have worked hard as well..." Su Zhenxian didn’t notice Xue Qingyi’s displeasure, but he still very politely expressed his thanks to Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi.

"No need to be polite..." Xue Qingyi said coldly.

"Thank our Boss... I’m just helping him out..." Zhou Yang smiled slightly, pointing at Jiang Feng, and spoke very politely to Su Zhenxian.

"All of you, all of you deserve it..." Su Zhenxian looked at Lin Feng with a slightly strange gaze. He really hadn’t expected that Lin Feng would have such authority in front of these two. He looked so much younger than them!

"Of course, aside from you few powerful experts who made a move, there’s one more person I need to thank in particular..." Su Zhenxian chuckled and pointed at the small room that had been riddled with bullets. From the secret passage under the little bed inside, a fat face popped out.

Fatty looked at Lin Feng with a broad grin, scratching his head a little embarrassed. "Boss... sorry, I’m late..."

This Fatty was Xiang Wang, who had been hiding in the secret passage all along, monitoring the situation through the surveillance feeds. He could be considered half the mastermind behind tonight’s "lure the snake out of its hole" plan. But because he had no combat strength at all, he’d stayed hidden in the dark, afraid to show himself. Only now, when the threat had been completely eliminated, did he jump out to say hi to Lin Feng...

"You’re not late..." Lin Feng didn’t bother saving Xiang Wang’s face. He grinned and said, "Even if you came early you’d just be dragging us down..."

"Boss... how can you say that about me..." Xiang Wang pouted with great grievance, even twisting his waist in an exaggerated pose, acting like he’d been deeply hurt...

"Enough from you..." Lin Feng was speechless. This guy joked around without even looking at the occasion—a chancellor of China was standing right there.

"Ahem... you young people really are full of energy!" Su Zhenxian didn’t take offense. He chuckled, reached out, and patted Xiang Wang’s shoulder lightly, speaking comfortingly. "Young man, don’t belittle yourself too much. Everyone has their strengths. Not everyone needs to be a front-line fighter. Your talent for planning and simulation is very strong—you’re also a key member of this little team!"

As it turned out, the well-seasoned Su Zhenxian had caught that flash of self-reproach in Xiang Wang’s eyes at a glance. After thinking for a moment, he understood what was going through Xiang Wang’s mind.

The kid must be feeling inferior because he could never contribute in actual combat... To encourage the younger generation and express his gratitude, Su Zhenxian couldn’t help but say a few words to guide Xiang Wang.

Lin Feng, hearing this reminder from Su Zhenxian, only then belatedly glanced at Xiang Wang. Now he understood why Xiang Wang always acted silly and cracked jokes on purpose after every battle—it turned out Xiang Wang was trying to ease his own guilt that way.

But... what did Xiang Wang have to feel guilty about?!

Lin Feng smiled faintly and just shook his head.

Zhou Yang, on the other hand, suddenly reached out, hooked an arm around Xiang Wang’s neck, and said with a laugh, "Kid, now you know how it sucks that you never put in the hard work to train in Martial Arts, huh! Every team member is charging on the front line, and you’re the only one who can only hide in the back—doesn’t that feel lousy? I’m telling you, I grew up from that exact kind of frustration! You need that ’not okay’ feeling to understand the root of effort. Otherwise, what are you fighting for?"

Xiang Wang had already been stirred by Lin Feng’s words; his eyes were a bit fired up, like he’d be ready to go through hell and high water for Lin Feng the very next second...

However, Xiang Wang quickly snapped out of the motivational trance. With a rather odd expression, he said to Lin Feng, "Brother Zhou, saying all that to me is useless. My constitution is so weak, and I can’t train Inner Strength. Having a head full of hot blood is pointless—it’ll just get people killed..."

"Heh..."

"Hahaha..."

Lin Feng and Zhou Yang laughed at the same time. Zhou Yang was laughing at Xiang Wang’s slow reaction, while Lin Feng was reminded of the effect of his Fate Changing Needle... Because of physical issues you can’t cultivate Inner Strength? That was already a thing of the past!

As long as Lin Feng used the Fate Changing Needle, what kind of Martial Arts would be impossible to practice?!

However, Lin Feng didn’t say this out loud in front of so many people. After all, the former Gang Leader of the Hong Sect, Xu Yishan, had already warned him that this secret acupuncture art involved the interests of far too many people in China. If he didn’t want trouble, he’d better not expose it casually.

"Hehe... I’m old now; my thinking can’t keep up with you young folks anymore!" Su Zhenxian chuckled and then said to his bodyguards, "A-Long, leave twenty men to protect Miss, then send others to clean this place up. I’m heading back to the compound first."

"Yes, Old Su!" The captain of Su Zhenxian’s security team, Su Long, replied with a nod. He immediately had people work through the night to erase all traces of battle from the entire manor, and had every intruder—dead or alive—taken out of the estate one by one.

"D-don’t take me away yet. There’s something I have to ask clearly..." Just as two security team members were about to take Chen Qingqing away, she suddenly spoke up nervously. Then she stared blankly at Lin Feng and ground out, "Lin Feng, tell me—how exactly did my brother die?!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, glanced at Chen Qingqing, and asked in return, "Who told you your brother is dead?"

"Yeah... Bai Shu only went missing, that’s all... He’s fine, how could he be dead!" At this moment, Su Xian’er, who had somehow walked out from some dark room, spoke with an odd expression. Her eyes were a bit vacant; clearly, her psyche had taken quite the hit...

As it turned out, Su Xian’er, hiding in the shadows, had been eavesdropping on Chen Qingqing and Lin Feng’s conversation the whole time. She already knew what her husband Chen Boshu had done, and now she simply didn’t dare accept the truth!

"Auntie..." Su Zi rushed over to Su Xian’er with some concern, anxiety in her eyes.

Su Zhenxian, who hadn’t gone far, also showed a trace of reluctance in his gaze. Although he felt nothing but dislike toward the siblings Chen Boshu and Chen Qingqing and could harden his heart in dealing with them, when it came to Su Xian’er, there was still a hurdle he couldn’t quite clear in his heart.

After all, she was his own younger sister—blood is thicker than water...
