Underwater Treasure Hunt

Xiaoshan Villa District, Jiangnan City

"Uncle Wen, here's the information you requested."

In a spacious villa, an elderly man sat on the sofa, examining a document.

"Even though this is arranged by the young miss, we should do it properly. Let Ping Si handle it. Give him an unforgettable lesson," Wen Cheng said, glancing at the document before tossing it aside.

The information on Lin Feng wasn't complex, but the investigator had written it quite thoroughly, clearly putting in considerable effort.

"Yes, Uncle Wen," the man in black respectfully retreated.

Wen Cheng was the chief butler of the Ren family.

In his youth, he had ventured out with Ren Yu's father, Ren Xiong, earning his deep trust.

Now, Wen Cheng was responsible for managing most of the Ren family's affairs, both big and small.

Ancient City Residential Area

Lin Feng was cleaning the house.

It was Friday, and Gu Qianqian would be coming home early.

Now that his leg had healed, he naturally couldn't let her do the cleaning and washing anymore.

After half a day's work, he had thoroughly cleaned the living room, kitchen, and Qianqian's room.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, startling Lin Feng.

He was standing on a chair, wiping the light fixture, when the door burst open unexpectedly.

He saw a man in his thirties, dressed all in black.

Wearing sunglasses, he looked every bit like a gangster.

He had abruptly appeared inside the house.

The bucket of water Lin Feng had left by the door while mopping was kicked over.

Water spilled all over the floor.

This was getting interesting.

Luo Hu was also stunned.

He saw a man in a white shirt standing on a chair, cleaning the light.

He recognized the man from the photo as Lin Feng.

But the information said he had a leg disability and could only move in a wheelchair.

Had the boss given him incorrect information?

But it didn't matter much.

He saw that Lin Feng was only in his early twenties, with no other apparent issues.

He looked quite energetic, especially that face.

It seemed very punchable - handsomeness is a sin.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng jumped down from the stool and demanded.

He truly didn't recognize this strange man.

"Kid, looks like you're not really crippled. That makes me feel better about beating you up," Luo Hu said with a sneer.

"I can feel good about crippling your legs!"

"Is that so?" Lin Feng stood in front of Luo Hu, even a head taller than him.

"Heh, young man. Remember, there are some people you shouldn't mess with. Tell your sister to learn to respect her classmates at school,"

This was the message Ping Si had instructed Luo Hu to deliver.

"Make Qianqian learn respect? Looks like someone wants to cause trouble for her," Lin Feng said coldly.

Luo Hu launched a whip kick directly at Lin Feng's abdomen.

Lin Feng simply sidestepped, easily dodging it.

"Kid, you've got some moves," Luo Hu threw another whip kick.

"Why is it so slow?" Lin Feng hesitated.

He saw Luo Hu's kicking motion seemed to have slowed down considerably.

His left and right hands were moving in slow motion.

During this time, he had dealt with quite a few ghosts.

Those ghosts moved swiftly and fiercely. Compared to them, Luo Hu was far inferior.

But he didn't think too much about it. When someone causes trouble, naturally, you deal with them first!

He grabbed Luo Hu's left arm with his right hand.

With a slight twist, there was a crisp bone-cracking sound.

Then he pressed down.

"Crack!"

Luo Hu's arm was forcibly bent into a V-shape.

"Ahh!"

Luo Hu's scream of agony echoed throughout the building.

Lin Feng didn't release his grip, continuing to press down.

Luo Hu's heart filled with terror. One move had disabled his left arm.

This strength was even greater than Ping Si's...

"Tell me, who sent you to deliver this message?" Lin Feng asked.

"Ping Si, Ping Si," Luo Hu quickly replied.

At this point, he didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. One move had disabled one of his arms.

"Who is Ping Si?" Lin Feng didn't know much about the gangsters outside.

Lin Feng gripped Luo Hu's other hand and twisted it.

There was another cracking sound.

Green runes flashed in his eyes, which to Luo Hu,

Brought an inexplicable fear, making him unable to meet Lin Feng's gaze.

That one glance seemed to stop his heart.

He regretted it now. He thought it would be an easy job.

He didn't expect to have both arms disabled.

This time, he had truly kicked an iron plate!

Blood and sweat dripped from his body onto the floor.

"Spare me, spare me, I'll do anything you say!"

Luo Hu said through the pain, but he still didn't dare to look directly into Lin Feng's eyes.

He would rather be beaten to death by Ping Si than look into those terrifying eyes again.

Lin Feng checked the time. Qianqian would be back soon.

As everyone knew, he never put off revenge. It was just a bit troublesome to find people.

"Didn't you want to cripple my legs?"

He took out a pill, forced open Luo Hu's mouth,

And shoved the pill in.

It was a bone-eroding pill. After taking it, for ten hours, one would suffer the pain of being gnawed by ten thousand insects.

Even if an ordinary person survived, their mind would collapse, trapped in a painful hallucination.

Lin Feng lifted Luo Hu's head, staring into his eyes as he said,

"Put this pebble near Ping Si's residence..."

"Yes, yes," Luo Hu answered repeatedly, enduring the intense pain.

He felt his breathing becoming labored. Forget about throwing a pebble, if Lin Feng told him to jump off a building,

He wouldn't hesitate.

Those eerie eyes were imprinted in his mind, as if they were constantly watching him.

He didn't dare to have any extra thoughts...

"Of course, you can choose to betray me, but that pill will teach you a lesson."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Luo Hu was just a small-time thug.

Even Ping Si was just a boss to him. In his mind,

Ping Si's fate might be even worse than his...

Thinking of the pain of his broken arms today, he nodded heavily again!

(Note: In this book, villains won't repeatedly come to cause trouble, so killing or disabling people is done according to plot needs. Sometimes killing is good, sometimes disabling is good. Constantly killing and burning to ashes gets boring after a while.)

...

Half an hour later

"Brother, I'm home!"

Gu Qianqian opened the door to find the room spotlessly clean.

There wasn't even a tissue in the wastebasket, and Lin Feng's wheelchair was still placed in front of the desk.

"Qianqian,"

Lin Feng slowly walked out from another room.

"Brother, you..." Gu Qianqian was so surprised she could barely speak clearly.

"The herbs you brought last week and those two rooster eggs really worked..." Lin Feng said softly.

Under the system's strong warning, he had finally come up with this explanation.

Since this girl believed in these things, might as well give her the credit.

Regarding the matter of superpowers, the system's point wasn't without reason.

Tell Qianqian about his powers, and then what?

She'd be happy for a while, but that's about it.

After all, Lin Feng had no intention of joining any national team, and he used his abilities almost exclusively at night.

You could say that many things couldn't see the light of day.

"Brother, that's wonderful..." Gu Qianqian couldn't help but rush over and hug Lin Feng tightly.

"Hey, Qianqian. Don't cry, isn't this something to be happy about?" Lin Feng said, patting Gu Qianqian's shoulder.

After about ten minutes of hugging, Lin Feng gently pushed Gu Qianqian away.

He took a tissue and helped her wipe away her tears.

"You've been working hard with your studies lately. Let's go out for a big meal today,"

Lin Feng said, rubbing Gu Qianqian's head.

"Okay, I'll go change clothes first,"

Gu Qianqian said as she returned to her small bedroom.

"Brother, your leg is finally better,"

She still found it hard to believe, thinking she might be dreaming.

If she hadn't pinched her arm hard just now,

The intense pain told her everything was real.

She couldn't believe those two eggs really worked.

Her brother could finally stand up again!

...

Today, Gu Qianqian still pushed Lin Feng's wheelchair as they went out.

She thought Lin Feng's leg had just started to improve and still needed some care.

Unfortunately, the egg-laying rooster had already been cooked, otherwise, she would have wanted to get two more eggs to nourish Lin Feng.

Today, Gu Qianqian wore a light blue outfit with her hair in twin ponytails.

A white short skirt paired with white sneakers.

Though simple and modest, it still attracted the gaze of many passersby.

"Haidilao"

"It's been a long time since we had hotpot. Let's eat here," Lin Feng said, pointing at the Haidilao restaurant sign.

"Brother, I heard it's quite expensive..." Gu Qianqian hesitated, knowing that it wasn't easy for Lin Feng to earn money.

He was even writing late into the night.

"It's okay, it's rare to be in such a good mood, and we haven't had it in a long time," Lin Feng said with a smile.

The business at Shui Di Lao was indeed booming, and Lin Feng and Gu Qianqian had to wait in line for half an hour before their number was called.

When ordering, Lin Feng noticed that Gu Qianqian was still a bit shy and only selected some cheaper items.

He picked up the menu and started ticking off items, knowing it was rare to take Qianqian out.

Of course, they had to eat well. Although this week's ghost hunting only netted him 3000 yuan,

it was enough for him. With a bit more effort, he believed his income could increase.

Gu Qianqian, seeing the numerous ticks, couldn't help but say,

"Brother, there are too many, won't we get fat if we eat too much?"

"It's okay, eat more, it's good for your health. Girls get cuter when they put on a little weight," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Do girls get cuter when they get fat?" Gu Qianqian mumbled.

The hotpot meal lasted an hour and a half.

Lin Feng thoroughly enjoyed it; it was his first big meal since his transmigration!

Gu Qianqian also ate very satisfied. Lin Feng had ordered quite a lot, and she had to work hard to clear the plates.

Her stomach was a bit full.

"Dear guests, today is our Shui Di Lao's 30th-anniversary celebration event.

You two can participate in the anniversary event with this receipt and have a chance to win a big prize,"

A uniformed waitress handed a receipt to Lin Feng.

"An event? Let's take a look," Lin Feng thought.

(The "laying hen" joke comes from a skit...)
