Chapter 49: Chapter 0049: Taking the Initiative to Apologize

Chu Feng heard the lady’s words and was taken aback.

Chu Feng had not expected that his brother’s affair had risen to the level of state secrets. It was even being discussed in the same breath as the vital nuclear industry.

The lady had even said that if the investigation went deeper, the level might still be elevated.

His elder brother was only a private entrepreneur, somewhat famous in East River. Chu Feng did not know what exactly had happened during his elder brother’s trip to Songjiang that could involve such significant consequences.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and said, "My rank within Dragon Soul is not high enough, but as a family member, I have the right to know the progress of this matter, don’t I?"

Without waiting for the lady to speak, Chu Feng continued, "If I don’t even have this right, then I will quit Dragon Soul."

The lady said, "I’m not saying you can’t. It’s just that the investigation is not complete yet, and I need to think about how much I’m allowed to tell you according to the rules."

Upon hearing the lady’s words, Chu Feng quickly asked, "Then tell me quickly, what’s the progress of the matter."

The lady thought for a moment and said, "Your elder brother’s issue is related to energy, and if it can be confirmed in the end, then this matter might indeed be too big. Because that energy source might have the potential to change the world."

"Hiss!"

After hearing this, Chu Feng drew in a sharp breath; it was completely beyond his expectations.

"Although on the surface, this matter only appears to be a simple traffic accident, there are too many people and events involved behind it, and it’s too extensive. It might even implicate international forces. Tributor Zhang didn’t let you know so soon to protect you. If you want to seek revenge with your own hands, then work hard on your Cultivation. Once you reach the level of a Tributor, you will be eligible to know everything," the lady told Chu Feng.

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice."

The lady smiled faintly and said, "Little guy, you’re quite polite. Let’s introduce ourselves formally. I am Huang Lan, the leader of Dragon Soul’s seventh group, and from now on, your leader."

Chu Feng, holding Huang Lan’s hand, felt its smoothness.

Huang Lan looked at Chu Feng and said, "Little guy, hold on for a while longer, and your sister’s hand will be rubbed raw."

Chu Feng’s face flushed with embarrassment and quickly released her hand, saying, "I should introduce myself properly as well. My name is Chu Feng, not ’little guy.’ And I’m not little."

"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, little guy. I have other matters to attend to, so you can go back to school without worries for now. After your college entrance examination, take a month off. I will train you separately."

After a pause, Huang Lan said, "If you perform well, there might be a reward, you know."

"Phew!"

Finally, Chu Feng’s nosebleed uncontrollably trickled down, eliciting a trembling burst of laughter from Huang Lan.

In the end, Black Bear took Chu Feng back home, and when Chu Feng arrived, he saw Qin Mei waiting for him.

Chu Feng looked at Qin Mei, uncertain whether he should tell her about his elder brother and his joining Dragon Soul.

After much thought, Chu Feng ultimately decided to tell the truth. Since he lived with Qin Mei every day, even if he didn’t say anything, Qin Mei would find out sooner or later.

Rather than having an unpleasant confrontation then, it was better to be frank now.

"Sister Mei... uh, there’s something I need to be honest about with you," Chu Feng said.

Qin Mei looked at Chu Feng and smiled, "Go ahead. You’re not going to tell me you’ve brought back millions for me to sign again, are you?"

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "No, it’s about my elder brother."

"What about him?" Qin Mei, upon hearing this, lost her smile and looked at Chu Feng anxiously.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and then, without concealing anything from Qin Mei, he recounted everything he thought Qin Mei was allowed to know about his joining Dragon Soul and the organization’s investigations.

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Qin Mei did not immediately continue to inquire about Chu Tian’s affairs. Instead, she expressed direct opposition to Chu Feng’s joining Dragon Soul.

"Xiao Feng, there are many ways to serve the country. It doesn’t necessarily have to involve bloodshed or going to battle. I don’t hope for you to achieve some earth-shattering feat, I just want you to be safe and sound," she said.

Seeing Qin Mei’s primary concern was for his own safety, Chu Feng felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

However, Chu Feng still said, "Sister Mei, there are some things I can’t just avoid. Brother’s issues must be investigated thoroughly, and in order to do so, I must seek the power of Dragon Soul. Moreover, Sister Mei, the investigation has already begun, and if I want to protect you, I must also rely on Dragon Soul’s strength."

As the matter had escalated to the level of national secrets, Chu Feng knew that the opposition was definitely not simple. And as the investigation would deepen, there would certainly be those who could threaten his and Qin Mei’s safety.

Chu Feng wasn’t afraid of threats against himself, but if Qin Mei were threatened, that was something he couldn’t bear.

Qin Mei said, "Xiao Feng, then let’s not investigate anymore. I don’t want you to be in danger."

Chu Feng replied, "Sister Mei, a true man does what he should and refrains from what he shouldn’t. That was what you said to me the first time I fought with my classmates. Now, Sister Mei, I believe that uncovering the truth about Brother’s situation and ensuring your safety are the things I must do. Don’t worry, Sister Mei, I am very clear about what I am doing. I will protect myself well."

Looking at Chu Feng, Qin Mei finally sighed and said, "Xiao Feng, you really have grown up. I support your decision."

To get ahead on learning about his big brother’s affairs, Chu Feng also practiced his cultivation even harder. Zhang Shisan saw this in his eyes, but he did not deliberately stop him. Having a grudge in one’s heart can often drive progress.

Next morning, after having breakfast, Chu Feng still ran to school as usual.

After enjoying An Rongrong’s lovingly prepared breakfast, Chu Feng’s morning felt truly complete.

"Everyone, I need a few minutes of your time," Wu Liang suddenly came in and walked up to the lectern to say.

Upon seeing Wu Liang, Chu Feng’s eyes involuntarily turned cold.

Wu Liang glanced at Chu Feng, then quickly turned his head away and said, "Classmates, our high school days are almost over. This upcoming May Day might be the last one we can spend together.

I know that I’ve offended many classmates and teachers in the past. So, for this last May Day, I would like to invite all classmates and our teachers to go out together for fun. As for the cost, don’t worry about it, all expenses for food, lodging, and transportation will be on me."

"Oh!"

Hearing Wu Liang’s words, the entire class boiled with excitement. After all, the final year of high school was incredibly dull, and now someone was offering to pay for a trip—it was a cause for frenzy.

Even many classmates who had conflicts with Wu Liang in the past now looked at him and felt that maybe he wasn’t so bad after all.

"Chu Feng, we’ve had some unpleasantness before. I sincerely invite you to come out and play with us, is that okay?" Wu Liang, though feeling anxious inside, still mustered up the courage to come over to Chu Feng and extend the sincere invitation.

Chu Feng was about to speak when An Rongrong stopped him with a look, forcing him to change his words abruptly, "I’ll see when the time comes, if I have time, I will go."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang immediately brightened up and said, "Thank you, Chu Feng. I really appreciate that you can forgive me. I will apologize to you in person when the time comes."

Chu Feng nodded and said, "You can go now, I want to read."

Wu Liang did not dare to retort and quickly left.

"Chu Feng, why are you so mean to your classmate? He was kindly apologizing to you. Look at your attitude," An Rongrong complained.

Chu Feng sneered and said, "I think he’s like a weasel paying New Year’s respects to a chicken."

Xiao Pang turned his head and said, "I think so too. Boss, you need to be careful this time; it’s probably another one of this ’rascal’s’ tricks!"
