Chapter 374

Night had fallen quietly, yet a suffocating atmosphere filled the newly built villa in Longquan Village. Though Xie Xiangxiang and Chen Shiyao had been offering constant reassurances, Mo Xinlan and Luo Xiaowei remained deeply anxious. The four women each held their own misconceptions about Lin Fei; Xie Xiangxiang and Chen Shiyao overestimated his vulnerability, while Mo Xinlan and Luo Xiaowei underestimated his capabilities. With night having truly set in, Mo Xinlan and Luo Xiaowei grew even more frantic. Lin Fei, however, was completely oblivious. He had no idea that a tornado had struck the tournament grounds. He only felt that since he had parted ways with Qin Helun and his granddaughter without saying goodbye, the women might be worried. Therefore, once Yang Yi left, Lin Fei’s first act was to call Qin Helun to let him know he was safe. On the other end of the line, Qin Helun and Qin Xuan'er were immensely relieved; to them, it had been a false alarm. Upon learning that Lin Fei had already returned to Longquan Village, Qin Helun did not bother calling Mo Xinlan and the others to tell them. Lin Fei emerged from the main house and, just as he reached the courtyard gate, realized it was locked. He was about to leap over the wall when he saw a familiar figure approaching.
