CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 59: XIA XUE’S CALL

Xiao Lin didn’t find it too strange, and felt more certain in his heart. Although Xiang Fei was a local, she hadn’t spent much time in Yanjing. At this moment, Xiangxiang butted in, "I know a place with good late-night snacks, but it’s a bit far from our school!" When it comes to locals, Xun Xiangxiang is probably the one who really knows Yanjing well.

"Is Xiangxiang talking about the late-night street in the east of the city?" Liang Feng asked with a smile. Xun Xiangxiang had mentioned that place many times, but it was really too far from this side of the city, so they hadn’t gone there yet.

"No, that place is too far. I’m talking about Galaxy Mall. They say there’s a late-night city there with really delicious food!" Xun Xiangxiang said.

"Hmm, I’ve also heard about a newly opened late-night city there. Last time, our classmate had a birthday party, and they went there. They also offer private rooms!" Lin Liwen chimed in when she heard it was Galaxy Mall, as she knew about it.

"Alright, then let’s go to Galaxy Mall. It’s right near Dragon and Tiger World, so I’ll fetch my car!" Xiao Lin agreed with a nod, then looked at Xiang Fei and the others, "What about you, Xiang Fei?"

"I don’t mind, but we might need to take a cab!" Xiang Fei laughed.

"Alright then, let’s meet at the entrance of Galaxy Mall! Those who arrive first, please wait a bit!" At this moment, Xiao Lin displayed a bit of an older brother’s demeanor, which was quite appropriate as he and Xun Xiangxiang acted as the liaisons between the two groups. Since Xun Xiangxiang was younger, the lead naturally fell to Xiao Lin.

The ten of them called three taxis, with Si Feng in one, Xiangxiang, Xiang Fei, Jimo, and Moon in another, and the last one for Liang Feng and Xiao Lin. Everyone understood that Liang Feng and Xiao Lin were siblings and, having not seen each other for a while, surely had much to catch up on, so they automatically pushed the siblings towards the third taxi.

Xiao Lin and Liang Feng indeed had lots to say to each other, but with others present, some things could not be spoken. As they got into the car, there was initial silence, as neither knew how to start.

"Second sister, it’s been tough on you all these years," Xiao Lin finally broke the silence. He still didn’t know how to tell her about Tiger’s situation. Whenever he thought of Tiger, his mood sank, but with his sister present, he didn’t show his inner pain and remained relaxed as before.

"No matter how tough or tiring, I’ve gotten through it. Meeting Brother Lin today is truly a blessing!" Liang Feng felt anxious inside too. Today, getting out of the police station so smoothly was likely thanks to Brother Lin’s help, and she feared he might be angry at her actions.

The two actually had much to say to each other, yet the meeting time and place being wrong made them more reserved. Although Liang Feng was thrilled at the police station earlier, now calmed down, she felt increasingly uneasy.

Throughout the journey, they didn’t delve deeply into conversation, each having their concerns. Xiao Lin didn’t know how to tell her about Hu Zi, and she didn’t know how to explain the past few years to Xiao Lin. She knew well that if caught for what she did, the evidence would be enough for a death sentence.

Sometimes, she admired herself for making such a name on Jiangling Road at such a young age, using methods few would even dare imagine, let alone execute.

They soon arrived at Dragon and Tiger World, where Xiao Lin asked the driver to stop. Liang Feng, puzzled, asked, "Brother Lin, aren’t we going to Galaxy Mall? Why stop here? It’s still quite far!"

"My car is parked here. Let’s get down and drive over!" Xiao Lin grinned slightly.

As Liang Feng got out, she hadn’t expected Xiao Lin to have a car in Yanjing. She initially thought Xiao Lin was in Yanjing for a temporary work trip, but having a car meant he wouldn’t be leaving soon, leading her to ask, "Brother Lin, are you working in Yanjing now?"

"Yeah,"

"Then... what about my brother?" Liang Feng knew their work places were confidential towards family, yet she knew their offices weren’t in Yanjing but in Jingji, as Tiger called her twice a year.

"He’s... doing well," Xiao Lin hesitated, reluctant to break the news now. Tiger was her only relative, and he planned to let her find out gradually, step by step, to avoid overwhelming her, though he overthought it. With her experiences, while she’d be hit hard, she would withstand it.

She had only asked casually, knowing how secretive her brother’s work was. Even asking might not yield answers, but Xiao Lin’s slight sadness stirred an unease within her, though reassured by Xiao Lin’s words that her brother was fine, she set her doubts aside.

Seeing Xiao Lin’s QQ car brought a bitter smile. Was Brother Lin doing that poorly? Driving a car worth only a few thousand dollars? She didn’t look down on him, just surprised, showing concern for him, as the late-night spots at Galaxy Mall weren’t cheap, labeled upper-middle in Yanjing. With so many of them, a late-night visit wouldn’t be less than a thousand dollars.

Yet after getting in the QQ, she could tell, even without much car knowledge, this QQ was anything but ordinary.

"Brother Lin, has this car been modified?" She found its quality more luxurious than Lin Liwen’s BMW.

"Seems you know cars!" Xiao Lin chuckled, feeling a bit frustrated at how every woman in his car seemed to think the same.

"It’s not that I know cars, but you’re too humble outside and too extravagant inside, more comfortable than Liwen’s BMW! And also, I’m not unfamiliar with car modifications!" For someone in the know, car mods weren’t foreign. Liang Feng was being humble here.

They quickly arrived at Galaxy Mall, where after regrouping, they followed Xun Xiangxiang, creating a grand procession towards the mall.

This area housed the most colleges in Yanjing, with Galaxy Mall serving as its landmark. Even though it was only about half-past eleven, it was the peak time for midnight snacks, bustling with activity.

As the group entered the mall amid the crowd and reached the elevator under Xun Xiangxiang’s lead, Xiao Lin’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was from Xia Xue, he guessed she might be heading home and called to check. Xiao Lin casually answered.
