In fact, Lin Feng had sensed something was off just a split second before. Even if he had been sitting in the car, he wouldn't necessarily have died, but serious injury would have been guaranteed!

That wasn't just ordinary explosives, but C4!

At that moment, I felt as if I was back in the bloody Middle East...

"You're saying that someone wants to kill you?" The two stood up. Cao Ying looked at Lin Feng, her face pale. Even though she was Cao Tiannan's daughter, she was still just a young woman who hadn't seen much bloodshed, certainly never a scene this horrifying!

He almost died just now! If I hadn't called him over… I might never have seen him again… With this thought, Cao Ying, utterly terrified, hugged Lin Feng tightly, as if trying to expel her fear through the embrace.

"Sis, if you squeeze me anymore, I'm going to suffocate…" Lin Feng smirked, leaning towards Cao Ying's ear and said with an exaggerated laugh.

It was no joke; Cao Ying was hugging him with nearly all her strength, making it somewhat difficult for Lin Feng to breathe. Combined with the minor injury already on his back, Lin Feng was finding it hard to bear.

However, despite the tough conditions, Lin Feng remained true to his nature. He decisively hugged Cao Ying back, even letting his hands wander a bit.

"Lin Feng… you big jerk! Even in a situation like this… you still manage to..." Cao Ying blushed and pushed Lin Feng away, momentarily speechless.

This Lin Feng! I was almost scared to death, and he still has the nerve to get handsy... Doesn't he have any shame?

"A man can't admit he's not up to it!" Lin Feng managed a smile, his gaze sweeping over the still-burning cars. He said to Cao Ying, "Sis, can you keep tonight's events a secret?"

"I told you not to call me 'Sis'!" Cao Ying said, slightly annoyed. "Why do you want me to keep this a secret? Such a huge incident happened, don't you want others to know? How will we find out who's after you if we don't investigate?"

"No need to investigate… they'll definitely make another move…" Lin Feng chuckled faintly, his mind already racing. Who could possibly want me dead?

Come to think of it, I've really offended quite a few people. Just today, I clashed with Sun Zheng, Long Shaotian, and Liu Changhong… I half-won, half-snatched five million and a BMW from Sun Zheng, beat up Liu Changhong's bodyguards, and even bullied his daughter Liu Yu. Lastly, I thrashed Long Shaotian's son and showed Long Shaotian himself no respect, causing him to lose significant face in front of Mayor Cao Tiannan. Each of them has a reason to harm me. But someone who knows I won the BMW and has the audacity to use C4 explosives is definitely no ordinary person… So, Liu Changhong and Sun Zheng are less likely… The most probable suspect would be… Long… Shao… Tian! Lin Feng gritted his teeth, his suspicion instantly locking onto Long Shaotian, the chairman of Qinglong Group. He previously hired the Violent Killer Group to deal with Ning Fuxun; he has both the means and the audacity… Judging by the methods, he's the prime suspect!

"No! I'm going to call my dad and tell him about this… I'll have him send police to protect you!" Cao Ying brought out her phone, ready to call Cao Tiannan's cell phone.

"Don't..." Lin Feng shook his head and pressed down on Cao Ying's jade-like hand as she was about to dial. An adversary capable of using C4 is beyond what ordinary police can handle; they wouldn't be able to protect me fully. If Cao Tiannan really assigned people to protect me, not only would it be ineffective, but it would also reveal my position. The losses would far outweigh the gains.

"You'll be in danger… I don't want to see anything happen to you!" Cao Ying said anxiously.

"I'll be fine…" Lin Feng shook his head and said firmly, "If you get ordinary people to protect me, they'll only drag me down!"

"Then, what should we do? We can't just ignore it!" Hearing Lin Feng's words, a sense of unease settled in Cao Ying's heart.

"Let's not talk about other things first. We'll get you back to school…" Lin Feng said in a low voice. They know I'm still alive, so they'll definitely strike again. That will be my chance to counter-attack!

The enemy dared to use C4 against me in a busy urban area like this. This is going to be a tough fight.

"You... Okay then…" After looking at Lin Feng deeply, Cao Ying reluctantly agreed and got into the sports car. She whispered as she did so, "Don't push yourself too hard. Remember to call me if you need help…"

Lin Feng got into the car from the other side. Hearing Cao Ying still fussing with her warnings, his heart warmed, and a teasing smile played on his lips as he said, "Alright, I'll listen to you… my dear wife…"

Cao Ying started the sports car, and it quickly left Yuefu Hotel's parking lot amidst the ROAR of its engine...

Two minutes after the explosion, the parking lot staff had reported the incident. After hearing it was a bombing, Captain of the Nanjiang District Criminal Police Team, Ye Lin, came with a trace verification expert to inspect the explosion debris once the fire had been extinguished.

"Based on the fixed point of explosion traces, the direct effect traces of the explosive, as well as ejection and shock wave traces, the assailant used a very powerful high explosive. An analysis of the remaining fragments from the explosive device shows that the assailant used C4 explosives, commonly known as plastic explosives…" After completing his assessment, Mr. Wang, the trace verification expert, reported quietly to Ye Lin, "The explosive device used a timer and was placed near the fuel tank of this BMW. It appears to be an act of revenge. I suggest we investigate the interpersonal relationships of the owners of these two cars."

The identities of the two car owners were easily found. The BMW X5 was still registered to Sun Zheng as the ownership transfer hadn't been completed, and the other car, unfortunately caught in the blast, belonged to his close friend, Zhang Shu.

That night, Sun Zheng, along with the still-intoxicated Zhang Shu, were taken by detectives to the Nanjiang District Police Bureau for overnight questioning.

When Ye Lin heard Sun Zheng say that his car had been lost to Lin Feng, her heart skipped a beat. When she confirmed that the Lin Feng Sun Zheng mentioned was the Lin Feng she knew, Ye Lin couldn't help but frown. Who on earth has Lin Feng gotten involved with?

「 」

Amidst the ROAR of the Carrera GT's engine, Cao Ying and Lin Feng soon arrived at an underground parking lot beneath a commercial tower not far from Jiangzhou University.

"This car draws too much attention. My cousin doesn't even dare drive it to school. So, she bought two parking spaces in this building early on. We usually leave the car here and walk to school," Cao Ying casually explained to Lin Feng, pointing to a red Audi in the adjacent spot—the A4 she used to drive.

"A single parking spot here must cost at least two to three hundred thousand, right? Rich people are really on another level, buying two at once…" Lin Feng clicked his tongue in exaggerated amazement.

"I'm not a tycoon… my cousin's family are the real tycoons… Let's go, we'll walk back to school…" Cao Ying smiled faintly and got out of the car first.
