After Xu Fei left the place, he felt the need to plan carefully. Overall, he needed to first guard against Japan’s Kawashima family, to prevent them from stirring up any more trouble.
So, Xu Fei immediately called Lin Qingxue back home and held a small family meeting.
“What’s wrong, darling? Why are you being so serious?”
Lin Qingxue, who had rushed back from the company, saw Xu Fei’s stern expression and couldn’t help but feel curious. Then, she immediately thought, “It couldn’t be those people who kidnapped Lele, they still haven’t given up, have they?”
Fortunately, Lele was playing alone in her room at the time, otherwise, Xu Fei’s earlier white lies would likely have been exposed.
Xu Fei nodded, tacitly confirming her suspicion.
“The situation is more or less as you said, so I called you back to tell you to be careful. You need to stay vigilant during this time, understand? I’ll also arrange for people to protect you in secret!”
Lin Qingxue nodded. She was a virtuous and sensible woman, knowing that there were some things she shouldn’t ask about, and she would never deliberately cause trouble for Xu Fei.
Xu Fei’s thoughts were straightforward. With about a month left until the end of Bai Feng’s semester, it was a good time for him to focus on cultivation.
Having been so busy for so long, he had neglected his cultivation considerably.
With his current strength, Xu Fei was more than capable of handling domestic forces in China, but Japan was a foreign land.
Xu Fei was completely unfamiliar with that place, so he needed to make thorough preparations before going.
Moreover, due to the special nature of the mission, Xu Fei couldn’t bring anyone along, at most, he could ask Hell’s Ear for remote assistance.
After all, Bai Zhan, Hell’s Ear, and the others staying in China had the critical task of ensuring the safety of his daughter Lele, Lin Qingxue, and the others.
After settling matters at home, Xu Fei drove off, his first stop being the place where Bai Zhan was resting.
“Greetings, Major!”
Bai Zhan, as the Northern Soldier King, was accompanied by well-trained soldiers who could easily recognise Xu Fei.
Xu Fei returned their salute and immediately went to the ward where Bai Zhan was resting.
“How’s it going? Your injuries shouldn’t be that serious, right? Still not healed?”
Upon arriving, Xu Fei saw Bai Zhan lying in bed and couldn’t help but tease him jokingly.
Normally, Bai Zhan would have picked up on Xu Fei’s jest and felt embarrassed.
But this time was different. Although Bai Zhan still felt a bit sheepish, instead of blushing, he looked at Xu Fei with a gloomy expression and said, “I’m sorry, Major, I was useless this time and dragged you down. I’ve already heard about what happened from Hell’s Ear!”
Xu Fei now understood. It turned out Bai Zhan had learned from Hell’s Ear that after Kang Kang escaped, he had gone on to kidnap Lele, causing Xu Fei considerable trouble.
This was why Bai Zhan felt so depressed and was in such a bad mood.
