Chapter 32 (1/2)
Obediently enduring the suffering inflicted by others was not Chu Feng's modus operandi
For hiraceful to have the way of his own death designed by a third party in advance Electrocution or to be charred into hard coke both sounded more shameful than painful
Had he notStyle, he would have ended up with a pathetic death
The call was finally picked up, and a woman's voice sounded
Under the clear sky spangled with northern stars, Chu Feng stood in the orchid garden that was both quiet and secluded His expression suddenly shi+fted as he realized that on the other end, it was not the voice of Lin Naoi As all sounds around him were still and hushed, he could vividly tell that the distinctive indifference typically embedded in Lin Naoi's luscious voice was not there
Did he dial the wrong number? He lowered his head and meticulously read out the sequence of nuht
”I need to speak to Lin Naoi,” he calmly said
”Chu Feng? The one who lives in Taihang Mountains?” Evidently, the woman on the other end of the line had noticed his name displayed on the communicator where he called and thus ascertained his identity
”Yes!” Chu Feng answered
”Do you live in Qingyang Villiage? It is quite a reh it is somewhat secluded and isolated from the world outside, I still firmly believe it's a better place to be than where I a City with a little bit of economic boost” The woman sounded totally inattentive as she spoke
Chu Feng frowned What was this woh the words she said did not sound concerning to the subject at hand at all, he was certain that there was a subtle implication behind these words
Qingyang Village was only a s Mountains In contrast, Jiangning City was a booht of its power and splendors It qualified as the center of the regions south of the Yangtze River
Putting the two side by side could easily display an immeasurably vast difference The two places were almost worlds apart, so if the wo to re
Chu Feng reain that he wanted to speak to Lin Naoi
”Naoi is quite busy recently There is a lot of business within the interest of Deity Bioent attention All of the people who are genuinely close to her would have known this and would try to leave her undisturbed” The woman's voice sounded temperate and mild
Chu Feng was taken aback by the fact that, on the other side, it was a woent Despite her temperate tone and the casualness in the way by which she spoke, every word she chose contained an undertone of so deeper It was then at the listener's liberty to decide how to translate these words into their true s
Through those hted the position of Lin Naoi while also pointing out the fact that Chu Feng was not within the close circle of Lin Naoi at all, hu to her Underneath those te
Chu Feng assumed that this woman must be someone closely affiliated with Lin Naoi, or there would be no way for her to come in possession of Naoi's communicator
Chu Feng did not refute the wo for the late-night disturbance Then, he hung up
He decided to call back at another time Maybe then, that familiar indifferent voice of his past lover would resound on the other end of the coain
However, he was also prompted to question who he just spoke to and what connection the woman had with Lin Naoi?
It was hard to pinpoint her age fro ed woman in her forties
Chu Feng rung up Lin Naoi's nuain an hour later
This tihtful voice, but it sounded frivolous too ”Why are you calling again?”
It was the same woman as last time
”You'd better not contact Lin Naoi again Like I said, she is busy She can't spare tiive you a piece of advice, a man needs to know the boundaries He needs to have a clear knowledge of who he is and what he is capable of There is a boundary set for everyone in this world, so sometimes, it's better to know your limit and stay within the lines” This tiance suffused the tone of her voice
”You're over-thinking, s to her face to face I have no intents to step beyond whatever the li's voice was still calm
”There are a lot of things you don't need to get entangled with They won't end well Do you understand rassroots of the society, it's for the best that you can stay earnest and down-to-earth Qingyang Village is a town good enough for you It's small and poor, that I know Isn't this an accurate description of you as well? So stay at where you belong” The woman's voice became indifferent and apathetic Obviously, she had lost her patience Her words were no longer along the line of euphemism
”It seems like we have misunderstood each other…”
”No, there is nothing to be misunderstood And I will ask you, solemnly, to stay away from Lin Naoi She has her own lifestyle, and you have yours Each of you belongs to a distinctive world, so know your limit and conduct yourself within that liled with her, I'm sure you will probably die of some unforeseen accidents before you know it Maybe you don't understand what I'ht now, but soon you will” The woman's voice turned cold
Chu Feng was struck by a thought upon hearing the woman's words, but he made himself sound inadvertent ”Well, in fact, I really think you are being a bit oversensitive The reason for me to call Naoi is only that I want her to learn about a strange occurrence”
”Oh? What strange occurrence? You can choose to tell me, and I will pass on your words” The woman sounded a bit surprised
”A giant bat dropped dead outside the yard of my house His body was all sodden in blood” He stopped here, patiently waiting for a reaction from the other end
As expected, the woman immediately reacted in a way that reflected her profound surprise She jumped off her bed, then all sounds were muted at once
Only after a while did the woain her co!”
”The bat see, he still seemed rather unfriendly to estive of his origin as part of the Deity Group, or at least he is so calmly said
Silence prevailed on the other end for a little while before that woman babbled out words in a much softer tone, ”Since he is connected to Deity Bioood care of him on our behalf? Make sure he will stay alive”
Chu Feng's eyes turned cold This woman knew, or at least she was acquainted with the bat man!
”Why do you make it sound like that the onus is on h I am absolutely clueless as to hoas injured, he's been a consistently unfriendlyto kill me”
”You…” The woer was exacerbated She knew that in order to persuade Chu Feng to help theattitude to Chu Feng with a reverent and respectful manner, and this made her furious
”I warn you If anything happens to him, I will ensure that you will not die a happy death!” The wo tone
Judging by the woman's assertive manner, he deduced that, to some extent, the man must hters in the group He could assuredly contend that the roup illing to sacrifice
”His well-being is no concern of , the injury on hi said this as he had a fleeting gli in the yard
”I will send someone to pick him up I only need you to treat his wounds and cuts if there are any,” the wo the call
Chu Feng put aside his corin lit up his face He had started to th based on the infor to be afraid of
