"Hmm!" Hearing this flattering remark, the old woman became even more smug. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her eyes held a hint of arrogance. Meanwhile, the man kept bowing and scraping before her.
"Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you! You did very well this time. I'll reward you after we get those things back!" The old woman's face was filled with arrogance as she looked at the man, her lips curling into a smug smile. The man, hearing the old woman's words, felt even more smug, a bright smile spreading across his face. At this moment, the old woman turned her head away, her lips still curling into a smug smile, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Meanwhile, the man was secretly observing the old woman's expression. Only after confirming that there was no change on her face did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmph!" The old woman snorted coldly, a sinister glint suddenly flashing in her eyes. The image of the young woman flashed into her mind, and her hands involuntarily clenched. The young woman's face was deeply imprinted in her mind. Although she knew the young woman was very beautiful, she was unwilling to accept it. She absolutely refused to be surpassed by another woman; it was a spirit of never giving up!
"Heh! No wonder she's the woman I've set my sights on, she's so beautiful!" Thinking of the young woman's irresistibly charming face, the old woman couldn't help but smile. However, her smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a sinister expression: "Damn it!"
When the man saw his patriarch with that ferocious expression again, he trembled slightly and quickly lowered his head. He dared not look directly at his patriarch, for fear of angering him.
"Alright!" The old woman snorted coldly when she saw her subordinate with his head bowed. Her expression instantly returned to normal, and she said to the man, "Go! This matter is yours to handle. No matter what method you use, bring those things back to me! Remember! You must capture them all, and keep an eye on them. They must be captured alive. Do not harm them! Understand?"
"Don't worry, Master, I understand all of this, and I will do my best!" the man said, bowing his head.
The old woman nodded, then turned and left.
The man watched the old woman's retreating figure, a flicker of resentment in his eyes. He hated her because he knew perfectly well that this mission was not something he could handle alone. He was also employed by another organization, and if he failed, his fate would be no better than the old woman's. Moreover, the old woman was his employer, and he couldn't shirk his responsibility. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it. And he couldn't tell his employer about this. It was all his own choice.
He could only silently shoulder his responsibilities!
Meanwhile, in another valley, Lin Feng was having tea with his father, his grandmother, and Old Master Lin.
"Hahaha!" During their tea time, Grandpa Lin suddenly burst into wild laughter. Hearing his father's outburst, Lin Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Grandpa, what are you laughing at?"
"Hehe! I'm laughing. There isn't a single coward in my Lin family! Haha, this time, that old bastard surnamed Li has really bitten off more than he can chew! He thinks my Lin family is really that easy to bully! How despicable! How despicable!" After taking a sip of tea, Old Master Lin continued to laugh wildly.
"Grandpa, did that guy named Li Yunfei offend you?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, as he watched his grandfather's maniacal laughter. In his eyes, his grandfather was rarely one to lose his temper. However, if he was truly angry, he wouldn't be able to hide it. Lin Feng was very clear about this!
"Hehe, how about it, kid? Are you interested in coming with me to take a look at the Li family?" After hearing Lin Feng's question, Old Master Lin put down his teacup and said to Lin Feng with a smile, but there was no hint of inquiry in his tone. Instead, it was full of disdain.
Lin Feng was stunned when he heard his grandfather's words. He hadn't expected his grandfather to make such a request, nor had he expected that his grandfather was also a person with strong likes and dislikes, whose personality was very similar to his own.
"Grandpa..." Lin Feng hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. If he refused, he would be letting down Old Master Lin's good intentions. But if he agreed, he really didn't want to, because he wasn't interested in the Li Rong family. Although he knew that family was not simple, he didn't care about them at all.
But he knew that his grandfather definitely wanted him to go, so he was having a hard time making a decision.
"What, you don't want to come with me?" Old Master Lin's eyes flashed with sadness upon seeing this. He hadn't expected that despite his desperate pleas, Lin Feng would still refuse his request.
Although Grandpa Lin didn't show it on his face, he had nowhere to vent his frustration. So, at this moment, his face was full of resentment. He couldn't help but blame himself for making such a request in front of his juniors, especially in front of so many people. He couldn't bear to lose face.
However, Lin Feng didn't say much, as he didn't want to anger Old Master Lin.
"Sigh, well, it seems your personality is just like your deadbeat father's!" Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, Old Master Lin sighed, his tone filled with desolation.
After hearing what Grandpa Lin said, Lin Feng felt very embarrassed. He hadn't expected that his good-for-nothing father would actually anger his mother to death. Thinking about this connection, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Oh dear! Grandpa, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry, I..." Lin Feng stood up quickly after hearing what Grandpa Lin said, and explained to him somewhat uneasily.
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Old Master Lin's expression softened, and his eyes filled with kindness as he looked at Lin Feng. A smile appeared on Old Master Lin's face as he looked at Lin Feng.
