Chapter 64: Halt!

Lin Ling shook her head immediately. “No, my wonton stall is doing great. After you taught Wang Xiaohu and his men a lesson last time, they never showed up again for protection money. Miss Feng, here are some snowy wontons my grandma made especially for you; she ordered me to give them to you.”

As Lin Ling said that, she stuffed the entire food container in Feng Wu’s hand. She then waved goodbye at Feng Wu and promptly ran away, as if fearing that Feng Wu would refuse the gift.

Feng Wu smiled wryly. The neighbors were simply too kind to her.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around her, Feng Wu waved at them in a hurry and explained with a smile, “Grandma Zhang, Uncle Zhao, everyone, I’ve just come back from visiting a patient in our neighboring town. I really need to head back home now. See you around.”

Feng Wu hadn’t been seen in Northern Border City for the past few days, so she had to have an excuse for it. Hence, she came up with that explanation, and if necessary, the entire Northern Border City would attest to it on her behalf.

With the wicker basket on her shoulders, Feng Wu marched on, turning back to wave at the neighbors every now and then.

The neighbors started an animated discussion as they waved at Feng Wu.

“Was that Lin Ling the girl whom Wang Xiaohu almost took by force, because he wanted to make her his concubine?”

“Yes, that was her. Grandpa and Grandma Lin tried to stop those men and were almost kicked to death by Wang Xiaohu.”

“Thank god Miss Feng showed up in time and helped them out, otherwise we’d be visiting the graves of that family of three by now.”

“Not only did Miss Feng save them, she taught them a skill so that they could make a living. You have to admit, there’s something so special about the wontons the Lin family makes.”

“We’re so fortunate to have Miss Feng here in Northern Border City. She’s saved countless lives since she got here. She’s like a living Buddha among us!”

Feng Wu didn’t hear any of that conversation, for she was hurrying back home.

Qiuling had been so panic-stricken three days ago when the eagle had snatched Feng Wu. She couldn’t even begin to imagine what a chaotic state her home had to be in by now.

Moreover, as the eagle carried her away, she had spotted the visitors from the Feng clan from the imperial capital.

They were led by Feng Yiran and Feng Liu, the oldest and the sixth children of the clan. They were Feng Wu’s cousins, the offspring of her oldest uncle.

Neither of them was the type one wanted to hang out with. The brother was a creepy hypocrite and the sister was obstinate and capricious.

Back when Feng Wu was first crippled, those two were the ones who had enjoyed humiliating her the most.

Feng Wu quickened her steps at that thought!

For she had to take care of the sentimental beauty — her mother — and her naive and kind-hearted younger brother.

She was eager to find out how her mother and brother were doing now.

The unknown scared Feng Wu. She ran as fast as she could.

Soon, she reached the front entrance of the old Feng family manor.

Two guards stood on either side of the gate.

Erect backs, emotionless faces, and ruthless eyes… one look and Feng Wu knew that they were well-trained.

Feng Wu narrowed her eyes.

She had never seen them before, so they must have come from the imperial capital.

As expected, when she was about to enter, the two intimidating guards blocked her way by crossing their sabers together. “Halt!”
