At this moment, Nangong Qianye, like a wounded beast lying dormant, was lying in a high-class ward of a private hospital. The bright lights in the ward illuminated his face, making it look terrifyingly gloomy.
His chest still ached faintly, each pain like a sharp shard of ice, seeping into his heart and lungs.
The force of Liu Feng's kick still sends shivers down his spine whenever he thinks about it, and every breath he takes is accompanied by a piercing pain.
He endured the excruciating pain and dialed a number, his voice icy: "It's me, Nangong Qianye. Investigate someone for me, Liu Feng. I need to know all his backgrounds and weaknesses."
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Understood, young master. However, Liu Feng seems to be no ordinary person; we may need some time."
Nangong Qianye sneered: "Time? I'll give you three days. Within three days, I want to see all his information. Remember, I'll spare no expense. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I'll find out everything about him."
With that, he abruptly hung up the phone, a fierce glint in his eyes. He had never suffered such humiliation; today's events had utterly humiliated him.
He secretly vowed that he would make Liu Feng pay for the humiliation he had suffered today, and that even if it cost him everything, he would make him wish he were dead.
In a corner of Kyoto, in a quaint courtyard house, the moonlight spills like water onto the ground, illuminating the entire courtyard in a silvery white.
This courtyard house was left by Liu Feng's master. It is simple and elegant, and shows traces of time everywhere.
It was August, and the jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and grapevines in the yard were all laden with fruit. The jujubes were bright red and juicy, the pomegranates had split open, and bunches of grapes hung down, emitting an intoxicating fruity fragrance.
Zhang Kaitai was sitting in the courtyard with Liu Yue and Yu Jingya, admiring the moon.
An antique stone table stood in the courtyard, laden with various exquisite pastries and fruits. Two waiters stood quietly to one side, holding a teapot and a fruit platter, ready to refill the three's tea and water at any moment.
Liu Yue wore an elegant moon-white long dress, her hair was lightly tied up, and a few strands of hair danced lightly in the wind, adding to her otherworldly and ethereal beauty.
Holding an exquisite round fan, she occasionally brushed away the fragrance of flowers in front of her, and whispered with Zhang Kaitai, discussing various business matters.
Yu Jingya, on the other hand, had dressed up carefully, wearing a plain embroidered cheongsam. With her graceful figure, she sat gracefully by the stone table, savoring the fragrant tea on the table.
She gently swirled the teacup with her fingers, and the aroma of tea rose gently, carrying a touch of freshness and elegance.
However, her gaze kept drifting towards the door, her heart filled with anticipation, because she knew that Liu Feng would definitely return tonight.
Liu Yue turned to look at Yu Jingya, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Jingya, why are you so quiet tonight? Are you already impatient?"
Yu Jingya blushed slightly, lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "Big sister, please stop teasing me."
Zhang Kaitai laughed heartily upon hearing this and interjected, "Jingya, your little schemes can't be hidden from us. Why isn't Liu Feng back yet? If he doesn't come soon, Jingya will be waiting anxiously."
Yu Jingya's face turned even redder. She gently bit her lip and said softly, "Uncle Zhang, please don't tease me. I'm just... just a little worried about him."
Liu Yue smiled and patted Yu Jingya's hand, her tone gentle and reassuring: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother is very capable, he'll be fine. Besides, he promised to come back and admire the moon with us."
Yu Jingya nodded, but her gaze kept drifting towards the courtyard gate, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and worry.
As night deepened, the moonlight grew softer. The three sat around the stone table, chatting about various interesting things in Kyoto.
Finally, the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps.
Yu Jingya suddenly looked up and saw Liu Feng striding into the courtyard. Her eyes instantly lit up with undisguised joy and excitement: "Liu Feng!"
Liu Feng walked into the courtyard with a smile, his gaze lingering on Yu Jingya's face for a moment, his tone full of gentleness and apology: "Jingya, I'm back. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Yu Jingya walked quickly to Liu Feng, looked him over carefully, and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Why are you so late?"
Liu Feng shook his head slightly, his tone relaxed and casual: "It's nothing, I just encountered a little trouble on the way and was delayed for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingya breathed a sigh of relief, a gentle smile spreading across her face: "It's good that you're alright. We were all worried about you."
Liu Yue also came over, gently patted Liu Feng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's good to be back. Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Zhang Kaitai said with a solemn expression, "Liu Feng, your operation at sea this time has indeed caused quite a stir. The Observatory has contacted me; they want to meet with you, as it seems there are some things they need to verify and discuss."
Upon hearing the words "Celestial Observatory Bureau," Liu Feng frowned slightly, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He didn't respond immediately, but first looked around. Moonlight shone on the blue bricks and ancient tiles of the courtyard, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
The jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and grapevines in the courtyard were laden with heavy fruit, and in this bustling night, time seemed to slow down and become tranquil.
"The Astronomical Bureau is looking for me?" Liu Feng finally raised his head, his gaze calm, his tone still gentle. "This matter seems to be more complicated than it appears."
Zhang Kaitai nodded, his tone slightly heavy: "You know, the people there don't usually interfere in outside affairs unless it's something of great importance."
Liu Feng seemed to have expected this, and smiled slightly: "It's alright, this day was bound to come sooner or later, and we have to meet with them eventually."
Seeing Liu Feng so calm and composed, Yu Jingya's worries lessened slightly.
Afterwards, Liu Feng recounted the whole story of Nangong Qianye to Zhang Kaitai.
Zhang Kaitai looked at Liu Feng, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness: "That kid Nangong Qianye is a bit troublesome. Since he's unwilling to let this go, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue's eyes flashed with worry: "But Fourth Brother, I have also heard of Nangong Qianye... He is not just an ordinary enemy, but a member of the Nangong family with a powerful background."
“Nangong Qianye?” Liu Feng’s smile carried a chilling undertone. “No matter how powerful his background is, he’s overestimating himself.”
He turned to Zhang Kaitai and said calmly, "Uncle Zhang, you can handle everything."
Night has fallen, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
After Liu Feng finished chatting with everyone, the atmosphere in the courtyard gradually returned to tranquility. The others went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only Liu Feng and Yu Jingya in the courtyard.
Yu Jingya walked gracefully to Liu Feng's side. Under the moonlight, her eyes were like water as she gazed at Liu Feng with deep affection.
She gently took Liu Feng's arm, her voice soft and gentle: "I miss you."
Liu Feng pulled Yu Jingya close, lifted her chin, and slowly lowered his head to kiss her soft red lips…
I miss you terribly if I don't see you for a day.
