Chapter 121: Chapter 0121 Kidnapping [Part 1]

Xie Mengying heard Chu Feng’s words, suddenly changed color, stood up, and said coldly, "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you. I have to go now."

After speaking, Xie Mengying stood up, turned around, and left, without giving Chu Feng a chance to speak.

Chu Feng watched Xie Mengying’s retreating figure, also completely clueless about what he had said wrong.

"A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets, this saying is really true," Chu Feng shook his head and then also stood up, preparing to go back to his dormitory directly.

However, before Chu Feng had even reached his dormitory, he received a call from He Zhen who invited Chu Feng over to his house for drinks.

Since He Zhen was inviting him for drinks, Chu Feng would certainly go, but he couldn’t go empty-handed.

Fortunately, all the shops near East River University had everything one might need.

Chu Feng bought two bottles of good wine and headed over to He Zhen’s house.

Arriving at He Zhen’s courtyard, Chu Feng also saw He Zhen waiting for him in the yard.

Seeing He Zhen, Chu Feng quickly went up to him and said, "Brother He, how could you come to meet me in person? Aren’t you making too much of a fuss over me?"

He Zhen laughed and said, "It’s fine, it’s fine. Brother Chu, you didn’t need to buy anything!"

Chu Feng replied with a laugh, "Brother He invited me for drinks, you prepared the dishes, of course, I had to bring the wine."

He Zhen smiled and said, "Let’s go. Let’s go inside. I’ll also introduce you to your elder nephew."

"Elder nephew?" Chu Feng was taken aback upon hearing He Zhen’s words.

"It’s my son, he just came back today, so I’ll introduce you two," He Zhen said, then without another word, pulled Chu Feng into the house.

"You brat, come here, this is the uncle who saved your dad’s life," He Zhen said to He Jianguo, who was busy helping his mother in the kitchen after entering the house.

Chu Feng saw He Jianguo, who was already in his forties, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Elder He was really something, getting a man in his forties to call him uncle, This kinship order was completely out of place.

Moreover, Chu Feng was quite aware that He Jianguo was the City Party Secretary of East River City, a member of the Provincial Committee, a man of no ordinary status.

He Jianguo, called out by his father in this manner, had his face turn red with embarrassment, unsure of whether to comply or not. The key issue was Chu Feng’s age, which made it really hard for him to say the word "uncle."

"Brother Chu, why don’t you and Jianguo keep to your own titles," Lin Xue suggested, coming over to mediate.

Upon hearing his mother’s words, He Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. Though Chu Feng was his father’s lifesaver, for Jianguo himself, a City Party Secretary in his forties, to call someone in their twenties "uncle" was something he found difficult to utter.

"No way! Our He Family has never had the tradition of getting our generations mixed up," Elder He was very serious about this matter.

Seeing the seriousness of Elder He, Chu Feng said, "Brother He, let’s just keep to our own titles. Otherwise, it would really make me feel uncomfortable to have Secretary He call me uncle."

He Jianguo was relieved to hear Chu Feng’s words.

Nevertheless, Elder He still insisted, "Brother Chu, on this matter, you must listen to me. You are my lifesaver. We can mess up the order outside, but in my He Family, this hierarchy must not be disturbed."

Seeing his father’s insistence, He Jianguo hesitated before saying, "How about I call you ’little uncle?’ That way, it’s not awkward for everyone."

Hearing this compromise, Chu Feng had no choice but to reluctantly accept. However, listening to the distinguished City Party Secretary calling him "little uncle," Chu Feng still felt it odd.

The matter of titles was finally settled. But just as they were about to eat, He Jianguo’s phone rang.

He Jianguo took out his phone and saw that it was a call from his secretary. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.

He had told his secretary that he would be home for dinner tonight and not to disturb him unless it was something important. Now that he was calling, it was obviously something extraordinarily urgent.

He Jianguo answered the phone, and his secretary, clearly agitated, was saying something to him.

The more He Jianguo listened, the darker his expression became. Finally, he hung up the phone and stood up, ready to head out.

"Where are you going?" He Zhen asked.

He Jianguo replied, "Dad, there’s been a robbery in the city. Someone has taken foreigners hostage, and I must go handle it."

Upon hearing He Jianguo’s words, He Zhen said sternly, "Taking foreigners hostage, and you, the City Party Secretary, have to go. When our own compatriots are taken hostage, where is the City Party Secretary then?"

Lin Xue Mei, looking at her embarrassed son, spoke up to ease the tension, "What are you saying, you old fool? When has our son ever worshiped foreigners over his own? Isn’t this about being mindful of the impact?"

He Jianguo spoke in a low voice, "Dad, I’m really sorry, but I can’t join you for dinner today."

He Zhen said, "Just go."

Chu Feng, observing He Jianguo, had a thought and said, "Secretary He, perhaps I should come with you and have a look."

He Jianguo, who was also his uncle, couldn’t just stand by and do nothing since he happened to be there.

He Jianguo hesitated when Chu Feng offered to come along.

But then he heard He Zhen’s cold snort, "You foolish boy, what do you know. If your uncle wants to come with you, he’s doing you a favor, and you hesitate. Your uncle is..."

He Zhen was about to reveal that Chu Feng was an Ancient Martial Expert, but he abruptly shut his mouth, remembering Chu Feng’s instructions.

Chu Feng gave a slight smile and explained, "Secretary He, I’ve learned a bit of Kung Fu; maybe I can help you out."

Even though Chu Feng said so, He Jianguo was still somewhat uncertain.

Seeing that He Zhen was truly about to get angry, Lin Xue Mei quickly intervened again, "You ungrateful brat, your uncle is a genuine Ancient Martial Expert. Who do you think had the ability to heal your father’s illness? Instead of thanking your uncle, you’re here hesitating."

"Ancient Martial Expert!" The revelation from his mother shocked He Jianguo.

An Ancient Martial Expert was something He Jianguo had certainly heard of. However, he had never met one because such things were no longer common in modern society.

Realizing that Chu Feng was a true expert who could genuinely help him, He Jianguo quickly said, "Uncle, I was in the wrong just now."

Chu Feng smiled slightly, "It’s alright. Let’s go, get this resolved, and then we can come back to drink with Elder He."

He Jianguo drove, taking Chu Feng directly to the incident site.

After He Jianguo had left, Lin Xue Mei glared at He Zhen and said, "You old man, it’s all for our son’s good, and yet you make it seem so serious."

He Zhen replied, "With that boy, you can’t afford to show a pleasant face."

Lin Xue Mei glared at He Zhen and said, "You’re just tough with your words. You insist on having Chu Feng take the role of Jianguo’s elder solely for Jianguo’s protection, to give him less restraint in the future."

The one who understood He Zhen best was Lin Xue Mei, and now that his wife had exposed his true intentions, He Zhen felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Clear the dishes for now, and let’s drink when Brother Chu and the rest are back," said He Zhen.

Lin Xue Mei nodded, "Alright! Have some pastries for now; I’ll go brew you a pot of tea."
