Chapter 1491: Lin Zhonghua's Anger

After the little episode with Wang Zheng, when Lin Feng and Tang Rou returned home, it was already past seven in the evening… As the two walked through the front gate, they vaguely sensed that something was off about the atmosphere at home…

“Hmph, you rascal, finally decided to come back?! Didn’t your mother tell you to bring Tang Rou back early for dinner? What’s going on?!”

Lin Feng hadn’t yet laid eyes on Lin Zhonghua, but he heard his authoritative voice coming from behind the living room sofa… He supposed that Lin Zhonghua knew it was him coming home as soon as he heard the door open.

Tang Rou’s face turned a bit pale upon hearing Lin Zhonghua’s stern voice… She was still immersed in the event just now of assisting Lin Feng in taking Wang Zheng for a “spin,” and suddenly hearing Lin Zhonghua’s serious tone, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Lin Zhonghua might somehow know about the mischief she had just been part of with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gave Tang Rou a reassuring look, then loudly said, “Dad, we just came back from Tang Rou’s house! Why are you shouting so loudly? You’ve scared Tang Rou!”

“Ah?” Lin Zhonghua stood up from the sofa with a little surprise, and glanced guiltily in the direction of Lin Feng. Upon seeing that Lin Feng really did bring Tang Rou with him, he smiled awkwardly, “Little Rou really came? Hehe… Please come in, come in… Just now uncle was just scolding this thoughtless boy Lin Feng, don’t think too much!”

Tang Rou’s face looked a bit better. She was really afraid that Lin Zhonghua would blame her for no reason…

“Tch tch… Such preferential treatment, it’s really blatant!” Lin Feng pouted discontentedly, muttering to himself, and even thought to himself, thank goodness Commander Lin didn’t have another daughter, otherwise his status at home would have been a hundred times worse!

“Hmph, you brat, stop spouting nonsense there, don’t think that I’m too old and muddle-headed to hear you!” Lin Zhonghua glanced at Lin Feng and snorted, “Your mother prepared dinner at five thirty, and we’ve been waiting for you for two hours!”

“Ah…” Hearing this, Tang Rou anxiously asked, “Uncle and Auntie haven’t eaten dinner yet? Really, you didn’t have to wait for us…”

Lin Zhonghua turned to Tang Rou with a gentle smile, “Silly child, how can we not wait when having a family dinner? Uncle and Auntie are not hungry…”

See, that’s what you call preferential treatment, that’s what you call the master of changing faces, Commander Lin demonstrating elegantly…

“Xiuyun, Lin Feng and Tang Rou are back, come over and eat!” Lin Zhonghua called to his wife, then turned his gaze back to Lin Feng, casually instructing, “Lin Feng, go get the food out of the steamer and set the table, we’re ready to eat!”

“Oh…” Lin Feng had no objection to this order, since he was already hungry.

“Uncle, I’ll go help Lin Feng…” Tang Rou couldn’t bear to see Lin Feng have to do everything by himself, so she offered.

“No need to mind him…” Lin Zhonghua shook his head, looking fondly at Tang Rou, “Little Rou, talk to uncle, has anything interesting happened at school lately?”

Hearing Lin Zhonghua say this, Tang Rou understood that he genuinely didn’t intend for her to help Lin Feng, her expression conflicted as she glanced at Lin Feng, before managing to compose herself and started chatting with Lin Zhonghua.

Before long, Jiang Xiuyun, who had obviously taken a shower, came out of the room and joined them, chatting with Tang Rou.

Actually, without Tang Rou’s help, Lin Feng was quite familiar with the workings of the kitchen, and in just a few seconds, he had brought out all the dishes from the steamer, arranged the plates, served the rice, and set the chopsticks.

“Come eat!” After finishing these tasks, Lin Feng lazily called out, then, without any hesitation, picked up a bowl of rice and started eating.

Lin Feng was never one to stand on ceremony, especially in his own home. The fact that he could set the table before eating was already giving face to Lin Zhonghua.

“You brat, always with no manners!” Lin Zhonghua commented with discontentment upon seeing Lin Feng already picking up his chopsticks as he walked into the dining room.

“Alright… Zhonghua, you’re only home a few times a year, finally eating with your son, stop saying so much!” Jiang Xiuyun naturally didn’t see any issue with her son’s behavior, casually calming Lin Zhonghua’s temper.

Lin Zhonghua startled for a moment, realizing she was right. It wasn’t often he came home, and with Tang Rou present today, he needed to give Lin Feng some face, so he sat down, smiled at Tang Rou, and said softly, “Little Rou, don’t be nervous, let’s eat!”

Once Lin Zhonghua calmed down, the atmosphere notably relaxed, with Jiang Xiuyun and Tang Rou exchanging casual conversation, the mood at the table became incredibly harmonious.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, it turns out, to tame Commander Lin, one must rely on Mom… He reckoned that in all of China, only his own mother had the ability to pacify an angry Lin Zhonghua with just a few words, whereas even the top brass in the military, Lin Zhonghua wouldn’t hesitate to engage them!

After a simple meal, Jiang Xiuyun continued chatting with Tang Rou, while Lin Zhonghua gave Lin Feng a few meaningful looks, indicating he had something to say, and directly led Lin Feng to his study.

“I’m pretty much aware of your dealings with the Martial Hall. I don’t oppose your interactions with Ning Fuxun, but Hong Sect is no good association, filled with a mix of people. Do you know what exactly you’re getting yourself into?” Lin Zhonghua got straight to the point after entering the study, his words were direct without any circumvention.

Lin Feng finally knew the source of Lin Zhonghua’s anger. It made sense since Lin Zhonghua held a significant position and wouldn’t be dissatisfied with him for trivial reasons. This emotion likely accumulated once he discovered Lin Feng’s activities within the Hong Sect.

Considering Lin Zhonghua’s ability to find out about his actions, Lin Feng wasn’t surprised… If Lin Zhonghua couldn’t find out, that would be the real surprise. Lin Feng guessed that aside from some very secretive things, Lin Zhonghua was almost entirely aware of his life!

“Father, what do you think I did wrong?” Lin Feng asked calmly, looking at Lin Zhonghua with a composed expression, showing neither anger nor dissatisfaction, as if he was talking to a peer, he casually addressed Lin Zhonghua.

“Oh…” Lin Zhonghua looked at Lin Feng with a bit of surprise, somewhat astonished by the fact that the boy had matured quite a bit. In the past, if he knew he was being investigated like this, he’d probably already be howling about an invasion of his privacy!
