Chapter 64: Send a Squad to Bring Him Back!

"Is he still at the factory?"
Chu Lingshuang quickly typed a line and sent it to Yu Xueyan.
Very soon, Yu Xueyan replied, "No, he left yesterday. Zhang Peng said he went to visit Xia Qingqing's mother, then headed to Xia Qingqing's house."
Xia Qingqing again!
Chu Lingshuang's eyes nearly blazed with fury!
Did he not realize she could keep an eye on him anytime, anywhere?
Could it be he was doing this on purpose, using Xia Qingqing as a shield just to provoke her?
After all this time, he was still so desperate to draw a clear line between them, even going so far as to cozy up to another woman!
Damn it, in what way was she inferior to Xia Qingqing, that he would brazenly go to another woman's home in broad daylight!
Unforgivable!
Chu Lingshuang was seething!
"Send a squad—bring him back!"
If he dared to flirt with other women in her presence, he should be ready to face the consequences!
A disobedient beast belonged in a cage, to be properly tamed!
Yu Xueyan responded, "Yes, miss."
...
Pingyang County Market.
They had bought so much that, to save time, Lin Feng and Xia Qingqing split up at the market entrance—Lin Feng would buy fish and meat, the heavier items, while Xia Qingqing went for the vegetables.
After visiting two shops, Lin Feng was carrying a sea bass and a crucian carp, ready to head to the next stall, when his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He freed one hand and answered the call without even checking the screen.
On the other end, drowned out by the loud music of a dance hall, came Xu Panzhi’s voice, "Lin, why did you go work in a factory?"
Lin Feng frowned; had he not made himself clear last time?
"Mind your own damn business!" he cursed, about to hang up.
But the music faded, and Xu Panzhi's voice rose, "How is it not my business? Everyone who studied abroad with me knows you're my brother. They've all seen the video of you working in the factory. Now the whole overseas student circle is mocking me!"
She became even more forceful, commanding, "You need to quit! Stop working there—and what's with this live streaming? Are you trying to embarrass me even more?"
Just mentioning it infuriated Xu Panzhi!

She had only just received her living allowance, finally caught up on tuition, enjoyed a few peaceful days, and went shopping with classmates—only for them to tell her not to buy anything so expensive, since her brother was now working in a factory.
To top it off, they showed her the video.
Being a security guard before was one thing—at least it was at Yihan Group—but now, he was in a factory…
Everyone who studied abroad was loaded!
She had worked so hard to cultivate her image as a rich heiress, and now one video had people thinking she was draining her family dry.
Now, they all looked at her with contempt and disdain!
How could she possibly accept that?!
Xu Panzhi was livid. She couldn't even explain that Lin Feng was no longer a member of the Xu family. Many in her circle knew Lin Feng was once the Xu family's major shareholder.
In the past, when people brought him up, they envied her for having such a capable brother. Now, she couldn't even defend herself!
Hearing the commanding tone in Xu Panzhi's voice, Lin Feng could only find it laughable.
He'd left the Xu family—what he did was none of her business!
If it came to that, even breathing would be a mistake. Was there anything more ridiculous?
He retorted sarcastically, "What, have you forgotten that I'm no longer part of the Xu family?"
"Even if you left, you shouldn't stoop to such lowly work. Don’t you know the student circle is full of rich kids? What you’re doing is humiliating for me!"
Calling herself his “sister” now?
What a joke!
Lin Feng laughed coldly, "If you have the guts, make me disappear for good. You're useless, but you're good at bossing people around. You used to live off me, and now that I’ve left the Xu family, what right do you have to order me?"
He let loose a string of curses, then, as if still unsatisfied, added, "If you’re so capable, stop asking the family for money. You’re always the one with the most problems!"
Without giving Xu Panzhi a chance to respond, he hung up!
Utterly ridiculous!
He hadn’t even caused trouble for the Xu family, yet they were already trying to control him!
Why hadn’t he realized before just how shameless the Xu family could be?
At this moment, Lin Feng felt a profound relief that he was no longer one of them. Otherwise, the thought of being tied to such a family made him want to put an end to himself.
Although if he really bore those genes, he probably wouldn’t even care.
Enough—buying groceries was more pressing.
He slipped his phone back into his pocket and headed for the butcher’s.

He spotted a hind leg of pork hanging from a railing and was about to ask the owner to cut and pack it when a man’s voice sounded behind him.
"Mr. Lin, would you please come with us?"
Lin Feng turned and saw a well-built man standing behind him, flanked by two subordinates, all three eyeing him with predatory intent.
Had another enemy shown up out of nowhere?
Sent by the Xu family?
But he didn’t recognize any of them!
Lin Feng frowned. "Who are you?"
The leader remained courteous, bowing his head slightly. "Miss requests that you return with us for a while."
In an instant, Lin Feng understood—these were sent by Chu Lingshuang.
What a joke!
He’d finally left, and she expected him to go back with them?
"Tell your Miss I’m busy right now—I have no time!"
He ignored them and turned to the butcher to buy his meat.
But the man persisted, "Please don’t make things difficult for us, Mr. Lin. Miss only wishes you to come back for a while. We respectfully ask you to accompany us."
Hearing this, Lin Feng had the butcher wrap up the pork leg he’d chosen.
While the butcher was busy, Lin Feng considered things. If Chu Lingshuang truly meant him harm, this man would hardly be so polite.
She’d simply failed to get her way last time, and now she was at her wits’ end.
Judging by their tone, Chu Lingshuang probably didn’t yet know he’d had a DNA test done, but with the Chu family’s resources, it was only a matter of time before she found out.
If she discovered the connection between him and Xia Qingqing, things would get much more complicated…
Weighing the pros and cons, Lin Feng finally said, "Fine, I’ll go with you—but—"
The leader’s eyes lit up at once. "But what?"
Lin Feng, holding the pork leg, pointed at the smiling butcher. "Pay for this for me. Once I’m done shopping, I’ll go with you."
The leader’s lips twitched, and with a resigned sigh, he pulled out his phone.
There was nothing to be done—Miss Yu had specifically instructed them to treat Mr. Lin politely and under no circumstances to use force. Miss Yu’s orders were the young lady’s will…
