Super Soldier in Campus

Lin Feng followed Su Zhenxian and Su Zi into a small buffet restaurant in the wellness club under the guidance of a female waitress. The décor was elegant, though not particularly luxurious.

"All this food is just for the few of us to eat?" Su Zhenxian glanced at the rows of dishes on the table and frowned slightly. He ate at buffets precisely so things wouldn’t be wasted; if all this was prepared just for him, that would be the biggest waste of all.

"Uh... for safety reasons, this restaurant is temporarily not open to the public, so for now it’s only you chancellors..." Faced with Su Zhenxian’s question, the waitress answered a bit awkwardly, "But please rest assured, chancellor, none of this food will be wasted. After you finish your meal, we’ll open the restaurant to other guests, and even if there’s still some left, our staff can come and eat it!"

"Ah..." Su Zhenxian let out a soft sigh. Clearly, he still wasn’t very satisfied with this arrangement. But thinking that the staff at this sanatorium had their own difficulties, he didn’t say anything more.

Seeing this, Su Zi waved her hand and had the waitress step aside, then grinned at Su Zhenxian and said, "Dad, sit here and rest for a bit. Whatever you want to eat, Lin Feng and I will get it for you!"

Pointing at the fried rice and greens on the table, Su Zhenxian said to Su Zi in a calm tone, "My appetite is average. Just get me some fried rice and vegetables."

Su Zi frowned. "Dad, how can you eat something so simple? You’re always exhausting yourself mentally; if you only eat this, you’re not getting enough nutrition!"

"It’s enough. I’m already this old—how much energy can I still burn?" Su Zhenxian waved his hand and spoke to Su Zi in a faint tone.

Su Zi had no choice but to follow his wishes. She scooped half a bowl of fried rice for him, and then a smaller half-bowl of stir-fried greens glistening with oil, and set them in front of his seat. Then she and Lin Feng went to get their own food, and sat down on his left and right.

"Su Zi, just now did you think I was eating too simply? That I was shortchanging myself a bit?" Seeing that Su Zi was in low spirits, Su Zhenxian asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Su Zi nodded very honestly. Communication between her and Su Zhenxian was very open—she said whatever she thought. If she opposed something, she just said so. There was no beating around the bush.

"Silly girl, you’re still young, you don’t understand. Our country has only really improved a bit in the last thirty years or so. Over forty years ago, when the Grand Ancestor was still alive, you could only eat this kind of delicacy when receiving foreign guests... Young people nowadays focus too much on enjoyment, they’re restless, way too restless." Su Zhenxian shook his head, his brows knitting slightly as his expression grew solemn. It was unclear what exactly he was thinking of.

Su Zi didn’t argue, but she also didn’t feel she was wrong. After all, this wasn’t forty or fifty years ago. If you can eat well, why shouldn’t you?

Lin Feng had battlefield experience and could understand what Su Zhenxian meant... On the battlefield, when you finally get a rare chance to rest and eat, you don’t fuss about flavors or study what tastes good. At that time, just having a mouthful of hot food is already great—you don’t get to pick and choose.

Seeing that Su Zi wasn’t in high spirits, Su Zhenxian didn’t say much more. He also understood that times were different now, and being too harsh with Su Zi wouldn’t fit with the way society had developed. So he shifted his focus to Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, do you know what my main purpose is in coming to Jiangzhou this time?" After swallowing a mouthful of greens, Su Zhenxian asked Lin Feng in a calm voice.

"How would I know..." Lin Feng gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"When you were in the Imperial City, you should know that someone poisoned me." Su Zhenxian’s gaze sharpened a bit. He fixed his eyes on Lin Feng and said in a deep voice.

"Yes. Did the chancellor later find out who was behind it?" The one who detoxified him had been Lin Feng, so of course Lin Feng remembered.

"At first I thought it was the Sky Slaughter Organization..." Su Zhenxian spoke evenly. "But later, after we interrogated those core members of the Sky Slaughter Organization and Chen’s Siblings, we discovered that not a single one of them had handled the plan to poison me. That’s the biggest point of suspicion. And Xuanyuan Pavilion actually dared to go after my daughter that time. Xuanyuan Pavilion belongs to the Zheng Family..."

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. "You mean, chancellor, that the mastermind is someone from the Zheng Family?"

"I don’t know... But I’m certain that since they dared to act once, as long as they get the chance, they’ll definitely act again." Su Zhenxian shook his head and said casually, "That’s my purpose in coming to Jiangzhou. I deliberately left the Imperial City to see who would jump out."

Lin Feng froze for a second, inwardly full of admiration for Su Zhenxian. After all, a lure-the-snake-out-of-its-hole scheme like this is not something you dare to play with unless you have absolute confidence. If you recklessly put yourself in danger, who knows whether the man is more formidable or the snake more vicious.

For Su Zhenxian, the Imperial City was his home turf. Staying there would obviously be much safer than being in Jiangzhou... Lin Feng frowned slightly; he finally understood why Su Zhenxian had brought the Long Family’s bodyguards with him to Jiangzhou. It seemed Secretary Long also understood the situation he was in, which was why he’d sent people to protect him.

"But Dad, isn’t this really dangerous?" Su Zi said nervously. "How about letting Lin Feng stay by your side and protect you properly for this period?"

"Heh... silly kid, Lin Feng has his own things to do. How could he stay glued to me every day?" Su Zhenxian gently stroked Su Zi’s hair, laughing indulgently. Then he turned to look at Lin Feng; his eyes were filled with a deep, meaningful hint, as if he were implying something.

Lin Feng nodded. He understood what Su Zhenxian meant... If this was a complete lure-the-snake-out plan, then Su Zhenxian needed him to find out who the real snake was—and then break its fangs while he was at it.

"Old Su, how should I coordinate with you?" After signaling to Su Zi not to interrupt, Lin Feng asked Su Zhenxian.

"According to the itinerary I’ve publicly announced, I’ll be staying in Jiangzhou for two days and flying back on a private plane early the morning after tomorrow. So... tomorrow night will probably be the best time." Su Zhenxian said decisively.

Lin Feng agreed. Even if those people planned to make a move, they would scout out Su Zhenxian’s living environment a day in advance and get fully prepared before launching their operation.

"At that time, you don’t need to show up." Looking at Lin Feng, Su Zhenxian stated in a tone that brooked no argument. "You already showed your face today. If you show up again, I’m afraid those guys won’t dare to act."

"No way, how can Lin Feng not stay by your side to protect you?!" Su Zi said excitedly. "What if those Assassins are too strong and Lu Qiang’s group can’t hold them off? I won’t be at ease!"
