Chapter 7: Tracking

Congratulations to you as well

At the moment the middle-aged man was struck, he clearly saw the object in the man's arms—a somewhat worn black backpack. A faint scent of a young girl's fragrance subtly entered Lin Fei's nose

In the distance, Xu Dong's loud shouts were drawing closer, and a group of people around him began to echo his cries. This group of basketball players, who regularly trained and had an abundance of energy to expend, loved to follow Xu Dong around looking for trouble. Now that a fight seemed imminent, they were instantly excited, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Only then did she realize, her small face instantly turned as red as a tomato. She also recognized that her actions might have led her brother to misunderstand, and hurriedly released Lin Fei's sleeve as if it were on fire. Watching Xu Dong and the others walk back, she felt anxious in her heart.

The afternoon sun has lost much of its warmth, and the evening coolness sweeps over everyone with a gentle breeze, bringing with it a mingling of various snack aromas.

Thus, when the permission gave him a look that clearly said "You are shameless," Lin Fei was completely at a loss.

Xie's face turned red as if it were about to bleed. She hurriedly released Lin Fei's sleeve, pointing at Lin Fei, her whole body trembling with anger

"This is Xie Shishi's backpack. I really happened to come across it by chance," Lin Fei said, shaking her head slightly, lamenting her luck

In the face of such a star figure, who comes from a strong family background, wields significant influence at school, and enjoys high popularity, generally speaking, given his personality, he would prefer to avoid confrontation. At present, he has not yet reached a level where he can disregard societal norms.

The weather is quite nice today! After the training, I would like to treat everyone to a celebration with books!

Xu Ke's body trembled even more violently

You... you wait for me! It took a lot of effort to get through this in one breath

Why bother? I have already said that I have something to attend to. Lin Fei estimated the time in her mind; if she hurried now, she should still be able to catch up. If something really happens, it would be just right to test the results of her training during this period.

Long live the captain

Then it shall be so, I will take my leave now

The middle-aged man glared fiercely at Lin Fei, then wrapped his backpack tightly and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly left, blending into the crowd

Permission! I like you! Will you be my girlfriend!

Xu Dong's keen gaze swept over the hand of the girl gripping Lin Fei's sleeve, and a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face

Snack Street, as the name suggests, refers to a street dedicated to snacks. Located between two secondary schools, the majority of the customers on this street are students

In the distance, Xu Dong clearly witnessed this scene, and an ambiguous expression suddenly appeared on his face

"Um, I'm hungry." Lin Feimu glanced over at a nearby fried potato stall, her hand in her pocket twitching slightly

The snack street is quite long, and the two individuals turned into a narrow alley along the street. The alley is somewhat dim, and the ground is damp, clearly a result of the residents on both sides carelessly pouring water here

What is this guy doing taking Xie Shishi's backpack out by himself? Is he planning to kidnap her? Lin Fei followed the short person in silence as they made their way to the library

This person is very suspicious. He noticed that a corner of the area wrapped by the coat of this middle-aged man was exposed, revealing a portion of a somewhat familiar black backpack from inside.

Ah? Xu Dong turned around in confusion and paused momentarily

The two individuals collided violently with each other

"I just want to push you to your limits, hehe, what can you do to me? Do you dare to do anything to me?" This little witch became even more pleased, her lips curved like a crescent moon

The little tiger at the captain's home has finally settled down

If it is a kidnapping, Xie Shishi's attire does not resemble that of a wealthy person; perhaps it is a vendetta? This has become interesting. Lin Fei cautiously followed the petite figure

Lin Fei glanced at Xu Dong in the distance, then looked at Xu Ke in front of her. A faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth

A few girls who had just left the school looked over here with astonishment on their faces, their cheeks flushed, murmuring something in low voices before quickly walking away

Xu Dong was the first to react, and he felt a surge of admiration and affection for the young man standing next to the girl. Throughout his life, he had always been the target of his sister's bullying. Whenever there was something delicious, he had to let the girl have it first; whenever there was something fun, he had to let the girl enjoy it first; and he need not mention the free labor for shopping, the free bodyguard services, the free errands, the free driving, and the free money pouch. He had always fantasized about a certain prince charming who could rescue him from the depths of his sister's torment. Now it seemed...

The person in front was utterly astonished, with wide-open almond-shaped eyes and slightly parted lips. At that moment, it is likely that her mind was a complete muddle, completely unaware of how to react.

There isn't enough money. I only have fifty cents left in my pocket money, this little amount... Lin Fei helplessly withdrew his gaze. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a short middle-aged man. This man had a sinister expression, and despite it being the hot month of May, he was wearing a grayish coat, tightly clutching something in his arms that was bulging. Moreover, Lin Fei noticed that this man tried to avoid contact with others while walking.

Lin Fei's lips curved into a smile

Lin Fei lowered her head to look at Xu Ke, as the girl tugged at her sleeve with a triumphant smile on her face

Regret? That word does not exist in my grandmother's dictionary!" With a raised eyebrow, Xu Ke placed one hand on her hip and declared

In an instant, everyone was stunned

I have already said not to regret it. Just take a look.

Lin Fei walked into the snack street, glanced around, and did not see Xie Shishi's figure. The street was quite crowded, bustling with people, and the foot traffic was heavy. Finding a target quickly among so many people was undoubtedly a challenging task

You ... ... you ... ... ! ! She was speechless for a long time, only gasping repeatedly.

Then I will take my leave. Lin Fei wore a smug smile as he turned and walked towards the snack street. Behind him, Xu Ke dared not stop him this time, only able to watch as he arrogantly strode away.

Xu Dong and others were stunned, their faces blank. Each one was left speechless.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached from a distance, as Xu Dong and a group of people angrily ran towards this direction. From the looks of it, if nothing unexpected happened, it would likely develop into a situation where a group would surround and beat him. Although he was not afraid, he did not wish to gain notoriety in school in such a manner

The sounds of laughter and banter from a group of basketball teams echoed continuously

Lin Fei looked around and saw that there was no one nearby. Clearly, everyone had retreated far away, evidently intimidated by Xu Dong's presence

Lin Fei has a severe headache

Bang

Lin Fei looked at her with a smile.

As he turned this way and that down the alley, the short man suddenly looked around. Lin Fei quickly hid back into the corner, holding her breath. After a while, when she peeked out again, the short man had already vanished without a trace

Captain! Congratulations!

Oh oh oh oh

I advise you to let go. Don't push me too hard. Even a rabbit can bite! Lin Fei said softly with a smile on her face. Her voice was just loud enough for Xu Ke and herself to hear.

Hurry up! Who dares to bully my little sister! I will fight him to the death!

If I can't find it, then so be it; I'll just wander around. If I happen to encounter it, that would be great; if not, then it's just her own misfortune. Lin Fei thought silently to herself as she casually blended into the crowd on the street and walked forward

Some students who were watching the commotion from a distance also fell silent. The surroundings were quiet, with not a sound to be heard.

He took a deep breath. Suddenly

Just as this person was about to pass by Lin Fei, she pretended to be constantly looking at the surrounding snacks and secretly moved in the direction of this person

A series of closely packed small carts and stalls formed two straight lines, with students in the middle jostling against each other. Most people held skewers of grilled meat, grilled squid, stinky tofu, and similar foods in their hands.

Every person's life has its own trajectory, and one should consider the corresponding consequences before taking action. If one cannot bear the consequences, then one should refrain from acting. This is Lin Fei's principle in handling matters. He only pursued her out of a sense of regret; it would be impossible for him, given his values, to exert significant effort specifically for Xie Shishi.

Some student couples, who do not dare to be openly affectionate at school, are here feeding each other food from their hands without any reservations. The loud shouts of the street vendors, the occasional sound of bicycle horns, and various noises blend together, creating a somewhat chaotic atmosphere

This sound can be described as a roar

Wandering casually through the snack street, the aroma from the barbecue stalls wafts insistently into my nose. Suddenly, my stomach lets out a growl.

How dare you! Licenses are deeply feared by those who are afraid of losing face to such an extent that they take the opportunity to run away. In a moment of panic, without thinking, I tightly grasped Lin Fei's sleeve again.

Then don't regret it! A hint of coldness flashed across Lin Fei's face. He detested such unreasonable and unyielding individuals. Sometimes, when action is required, one must act decisively and never waver.

Ah! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! My brother-in-law is just playing around with my sister! Everyone, go back to training! Training!" With a wave of Xu Dong's hand, a group of people burst into laughter and turned to head back.

Oh! Lin Fei pretended to call out.

Xu Dong! Stop right there! It is not what you think!

Let's go, go, go! My younger sister is shy! Training! Let's go for training!
