Chapter 1697: A Different World
"Alright, I’ll give you this one chance to redeem yourself. Remember, if you get greedy and reckless again and cause damage, don’t bother coming back to see me. Just fend for yourself on the island!"
Zhong Siquan warned in advance.
Upon hearing this.
Li Dagang’s expression changed slightly, but finally, he gritted his teeth, nodded in agreement, and promised, "Alright, boss, rest assured, this time I will be cautious and careful, and I won’t make any more mistakes!"
"Good, go now, pick a few people you trust, take three days’ rations, and set off. Remember, don’t deliver packages to Chen Feng again!"
Zhong Siquan waved his hand and said.
"Rest assured, Young Master Zhong, I certainly won’t make the same mistake again!"
Li Dagang quickly promised.
"I hope so!"
Zhong Siquan squinted his eyes.
Li Dagang didn’t dare to linger and quickly turned around to leave the tent.
After Li Dagang had left.
Zhong Siquan turned his head to look at Wang Yang and asked, "Wang Yang, we need a backup plan. If Li Dagang can’t find out where Chen Feng gets his supplies, we must have an alternative plan. Otherwise, we can’t outlast Chen Feng at this rate. Although we have a lot of food, we have too many people. Even if we continue to strictly limit the portions, we still won’t last long."
"Young Master Zhong, you’re right. However, as things currently stand, we don’t have much of a solution. Chen Feng’s strength is just too much. Head-on, we can’t stand against him!"
Wang Yang said with a worried expression.
"Indeed, we need to come up with a good strategy!"
Zhong Siquan nodded, frowning.
"Why don’t we play dirty?"
Wang Yang suggested, a cold gleam in his eyes.
"What kind of dirty trick?"
Zhong Siquan immediately perked up, looking at Wang Yang eagerly.
"Lure the tiger from the mountain!"
Wang Yang said with a cold smile.
Then, he leaned over to whisper his plan to Zhong Siquan.
After Zhong Siquan heard it, he nodded repeatedly, praising, "This plan is brilliant. Let’s do it your way!"
"However, to execute it, Young Master Zhong, you must step in personally. I suspect that no one else can lure the tiger, Chen Feng!"
Wang Yang added.
"Alright, as long as it helps the plan to proceed smoothly, I’m willing to be the bait!"
Zhong Siquan gritted his teeth, deciding to use himself as bait, clearly ready to take a risk!
"Young Master Zhong’s determination ensures this scheme will succeed!"
Wang Yang said with a grin.
"Then arrange it quickly. I’m already eager to have Lin Mengyao in my arms!"
Zhong Siquan said with a look of anticipation.
"Don’t worry, Young Master Zhong, I’ll arrange it right away!"
Wang Yang nodded and quickly headed out of the tent.
Watching Wang Yang leave.
Zhong Siquan took a deep breath and said coldly, "Chen Feng, this time, I will make sure there’s no place for you to be buried!"
...
In the cave.
The days Chen Feng and the three women spent couldn’t have been more enjoyable.
After eating and drinking their fill.
The four lay on a pure wool carpet, sharing amusing stories from the past.
Lin Mengyao and the two other women each recounted interesting events from their school days.
And Chen Feng shared some experiences from his time in the military with them.
Even though it was just a small part.
The dangers and twists in those stories still filled the three women’s faces with astonishment.
Because many of those events were things these well-protected students had never heard of.
They had no idea that there were many dark places in the world, places beyond their imagination.
Just like that.
Before they knew it, it was one in the morning.
Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli were already tired and fell asleep one after the other.
Only Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao were still full of energy, without any sign of sleepiness.
They exchanged a glance.
Lin Mengyao blushed slightly, pointing to the entrance of the cave.
Her meaning was clear: Let’s go outside to talk, so we don’t disturb Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli’s sleep.
To this.
Chen Feng naturally had no objections.
Being able to be alone with Lin Mengyao was something he couldn’t wish for more!
Then, the two of them went outside the cave together.
"Woo!"
As soon as they stepped out of the cave.
A piercingly cold wind blew directly into them.
This made the already scantily clad Lin Mengyao shiver uncontrollably, her face turning a little pale.
Seeing this.
Chen Feng quickly took off his coat and draped it over Lin Mengyao.
Lin Mengyao initially felt shy and struggled, unwilling to accept it.
But under Chen Feng’s insistence, she had no choice but to comply.
"Tha... Thank you!"
Lin Mengyao said, blushing.
"No need for thanks between us!"
Chen Feng said with a grin.
"Um... what you said by the Flower Sea today, you weren’t lying to me, were you?"
Lin Mengyao hesitated, blushing and asked.
"Of course not, how could I lie to you? Every word is sincere, from the bottom of my heart, with no falsehoods!"
Chen Feng quickly shook his head, patting his chest in assurance.
"But... but I still feel it’s not quite real, I feel like one day, you might suddenly leave!"
Lin Mengyao said with a worried look.
"Leave?"
Chen Feng was taken aback.
What Lin Mengyao meant by leaving.
Should be him returning to the real world, right?
Thinking of this.
Chen Feng sighed deeply.
Yes, he was indeed planning to leave here.
He didn’t want to deceive Lin Mengyao about this.
Even if this Lin Mengyao was just a figure in a dream, he still couldn’t bring himself to part.
"Yaoyao, there are some things I can’t tell you yet, but you just need to remember that my feelings for you are eternal and unchanging!"
Chen Feng assured.
"So, in the future, there is indeed a day you will leave me due to certain reasons?"
Lin Mengyao lowered her head, her eyes dim, and asked.
"I..."
Chen Feng was momentarily speechless.
After a long pause, Chen Feng took a deep breath, then looked at Lin Mengyao and asked, "Have you ever thought that we might not be from the same world?"
"Not from the same world?"
Lin Mengyao was completely stunned.
"Yes, it’s like parallel worlds. I came from another world, and in that world, there’s also a you. In that world, we love each other deeply, and now I’ve come to this world, and still, I’ve met and fallen in love with you. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Chen Feng tried to explain.
Lin Mengyao was in a daze, then looked at Chen Feng with red eyes, full of disappointment, and asked:
"So if there’s a day you can return to that world, you’ll leave without hesitation, right?"
