Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1695: Peace of Mind

Upon hearing these words, the boys exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and quickly took off their backpacks, placing them in front of Chen Feng.

Seeing this.

Li Dagang dared to look at Chen Feng and asked with a pained expression, "Brother Chen, we’ve delivered the food. Can we leave now?"

"Of course, like I said, you can leave anytime. I won’t stop you!"

Chen Feng grinned and said.

Upon hearing this.

Li Dagang’s expression changed a bit. He quickly stood up from the ground, signaled to the other boys, and fled towards the cave entrance as if their lives depended on it.

The boys didn’t dare hesitate and followed quickly.

The group fled like rabbits, disappearing in a flash.

With that.

Only Chen Feng and the three girls, Lin Mengyao, Tang Yuxin, and Sun Xiaoli, were left inside the cave.

"Looks like we gained quite a bit today!"

Looking at the backpacks on the ground, Chen Feng’s mouth curled into a smile, and he said to the three girls.

"Pfft!"

The three girls immediately burst into laughter.

"Chen Feng, Chen Feng, you’re really something!"

Tang Yuxin rolled her eyes at Chen Feng, laughing.

"Couldn’t help it. They walked right into it, trying to steal all our food. I just gave them a little lesson!"

Chen Feng grinned and said.

"Quite ruthless, but I like it!"

Tang Yuxin laughed and said.

After all, she already had a grudge against Li Dagang and his group.

Seeing them suffer such a loss in front of Chen Feng made her quite satisfied.

"Will Li Dagang and his group try to take revenge? Zhong Siquan isn’t one to take a loss lying down!"

Lin Mengyao furrowed her eyebrows, expressing her concern.

"Oh, Yaoyao, don’t worry about it. You’ve seen Chen Feng’s strength. He even drove away those terrifying wild beasts. What can Zhong Siquan and his gang do? They can only bully honest students in school. Against Chen Feng, they’re nothing!"

Tang Yuxin smiled reassuringly at Lin Mengyao.

"But..."

Lin Mengyao still seemed worried.

"No buts, Yaoyao. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to you!"

Chen Feng smiled and said.

At these words.

Lin Mengyao was momentarily stunned, her face flushed, and she nodded.

For some reason, with Chen Feng’s reassurance, she felt very safe!

"Oh my, Yaoyao, why are you blushing?"

Tang Yuxin teased Lin Mengyao with a smile.

"Yuxin, stop talking nonsense. I’m not!"

Lin Mengyao quickly rolled her eyes at Tang Yuxin, speaking with a hint of annoyance.

"Aren’t you? I saw it clearly. Turns out, it’s more reassuring when a boyfriend speaks, isn’t it? My words as your best friend seem useless!"

Tang Yuxin commented with a laugh.

Lin Mengyao’s face turned even redder.

Especially after hearing the word "boyfriend," she felt so embarrassed she thought her face might bleed.

"Yuxin, if you keep making stuff up, I won’t talk to you anymore!"

Lin Mengyao glared at Tang Yuxin, her face flushed as she spoke.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop!"

Tang Yuxin pouted playfully, then looked at Chen Feng with a smile, asking, "Chen Feng, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Hearing this.

Chen Feng bent down to pick up the backpacks from the ground, grinning as he said, "With plenty of food, we can eat whatever we want!"

"Let’s get eating, I’m starving!"

Tang Yuxin grabbed her stomach and moved forward, taking a few backpacks from Chen Feng’s hands.

Lin Mengyao and Sun Xiaoli also rushed up to help.

The four of them brought back the backpacks left by Li Dagang and the food stolen earlier into the cave...

At Zhong Siquan’s camp.

After fleeing the cave, Li Dagang and the boys returned here in a state of disarray.

They had no choice, as they would have starved if they didn’t come back.

Chen Feng certainly wouldn’t empathize and return their food.

So they had to come back.

Initially, Zhong Siquan thought they had discovered some useful information. He was quite pleased to welcome them back.

Later, he called Li Dagang into his tent alone, tossed him a drumstick, and said with a smile, "Here, eat this. It’s your reward!"

"Boss, I..."

Li Dagang gulped but hesitated to accept the drumstick.

His heart was pounding, trying to figure out how to explain things without angering Zhong Siquan.

How could he dare eat the drumstick now?

"What’s wrong? Eat, Dagang, no need to be polite with me!"

Zhong Siquan smiled widely at Li Dagang.

"Boss, I... I have something to report."

Li Dagang took a deep breath and, after pondering for a long time, decided to speak.

"Oh? Did you find some good news? Found out the source of Chen Feng’s food? Come on, tell me!"

Zhong Siquan urged.

"Uh..."

Li Dagang’s face changed, thinking it was the same whether he said it early or late.

So he took a deep breath and carefully explained,

"Boss, here’s what happened. We were waiting at the mouth of the cave all day without seeing Chen Feng and his group. So I led people into his cave, intending to check things out, and unexpectedly discovered pure wool carpets, silk quilts, and a lot of food!"

"I thought, how could someone like Chen Feng deserve such good things? So I ordered our people to carry everything, planning to bring them back to you as a tribute..."

"Hahaha, Dagang, you did well, truly my capable helper. By taking their food, Chen Feng’s group will starve, making my plans easier to carry out. Well done, well done!"

Zhong Siquan laughed, patting Li Dagang on the shoulder approvingly.

Then, he took a pack of sausages from his pocket and tossed it to Li Dagang, saying, "Here, it’s your reward!"

"Th-thank you, boss!"

Li Dagang managed to stretch his face into a stiff smile.

"No need to thank me. So, where are those things? Did you bring them back?"

Zhong Siquan waved his hand, asking eagerly.

"Well..."

Li Dagang bit his lip, taking a deep breath and explained with clenched teeth, "We were going to bring everything out of the cave, but just as we were about to leave, Chen Feng’s group returned, so... we got caught red-handed!"

At those words.

Zhong Siquan’s smile gradually froze...
