"Ah..."
A piercing scream suddenly erupted from the entrance of the safety zone's city gate.
As it tore through the sky, many people clearly heard the sound.
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards this direction.
This naturally included Elder Hua, who was just about to be driven away by Hua Yuxiao!
Upon hearing the sound, Hua Yuxiao couldn't help but tremble slightly. She had already identified the owner of the voice.
It was the supervisor of this safety zone, Tan Youming!
Tan Youming must have suffered immense pain, or even torture, otherwise, he wouldn't have let out such a harrowing scream.
However, the sound quickly disappeared. It was clear that his mouth had been gagged.
Even though they couldn't see the scene over there at all.
Hua Yuxiao and the others could easily imagine the scene in their minds.
Elder Hua paused for a moment, then turned his head to look back in that direction.
Ling Feng stood beside Elder Hua, a smile on his lips.
Elder Hua was taken aback. He hadn't seen Ling Feng for several years and naturally noticed the changes in him.
The previously imposing aura was now more restrained and steady, which Elder Hua could completely understand. Ling Feng's cultivation and state of mind must have improved significantly, leading to this.
However, the previous Ling Feng wouldn't have had so many smiles on his face!
Now that Ling Feng was smiling so much, it made Elder Hua feel a bit uneasy!
Or, to put it more directly, it even sent a shiver down Elder Hua's spine!
Although saying this might be a bit impolite, that was indeed the case!
This chilling feeling, combined with the commotion from outside, easily led Elder Hua to make some associations.
"Heh, well, Ling Feng, that... is there really nothing happening at the city gate? There seemed to be fighter jets in the sky earlier!"
Elder Hua couldn't help but speak again.
Ling Feng looked back and replied, "Oh, they were probably just passing by. Yes, just passing by, and they've already flown away!"
Elder Hua paused, instinctively looking up. Indeed, the fighter jets that were visible earlier had now flown away!
Elder Hua then nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Heh, I'm just being too sensitive. When you arrived earlier, I heard that you were stopped by the guards at the city gate, so I was a bit worried you might have a conflict!"
"No, Grandpa, hurry up and get in the car. I can't wait to go home!"
Hua Yuxiao urged Elder Hua coaxingly.
Elder Hua smiled broadly, took Hua Yuxiao's hand, and they got into the lead car.
Ling Feng naturally did not follow in that car but led the others into the convoy behind.
Unbeknownst to Elder Hua, as Ling Feng spoke about the fighter jets flying away, Jin Gang, standing behind Ling Feng, was tapping away on his wristband, issuing commands!
Otherwise, how could those fighter jets have left so quickly?
They had rushed from so far away, and after hovering for such a short time, they were already leaving?
Wouldn't that be a waste of energy?
However, for Ling Feng, it only took one command to make them waste that energy.
As these people left, the entire safety zone seemed to quiet down, with many discussing what had just happened.
But very few people knew what had truly transpired.
Those who knew the details and were still able to remain in the safety zone were already very few. Even if some knew, they would keep their mouths shut and absolutely not leak anything to the outside!
As for the system of the safety zone's management personnel, a cleanup and rectification had quietly begun.
Anyone problematic would soon be apprehended.
Of course, some people were also rapidly approaching the Hua family's residence.
These people were not here for anything else but to be responsible for Ling Feng's safety. Of course, they were also there to ensure that no one would offend Ling Feng again.
For them, the consequences would be quite severe. Although the incident could be smoothed over, if Ling Feng were to pursue it, their consequences would be truly dire!
The convoy soon returned to the Hua family!
The current Hua family was completely different from before. The old-fashioned residences had been transformed into luxurious manors.
It was evident that the Hua family had indeed earned a lot of money over the years.
This was undoubtedly due to Hua Yuxiao's care. However, the Hua family members were unaware of this. In their eyes, it was all due to the profits generated by their cooperation with the Jishi Group.
Their Hua family had been very lucky to latch onto a powerful benefactor, leading to their good fortune today!
Only Elder Hua vaguely knew that all of this was related to Hua Yuxiao's connections in Kyoto.
However, even Elder Hua did not dare to inquire about these matters easily. He was simply very polite to everyone brought by Hua Yuxiao, or rather, everyone brought by Ling Feng.
Therefore, when Elder Hua led the group into the Hua family manor, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
The members of the Hua family gathered around.
Hua Yuxiao couldn't recognize many of these people. Some she didn't even know at all.
"Grandpa, I don't remember our family having so many people, do we?"
Hua Yuxiao cautiously asked her grandfather.
Elder Hua was slightly taken aback, then let out a dry laugh and said to Hua Yuxiao, "Heh, our Hua family has developed very rapidly over the years. We've become a large family. Some of the collateral branches have also gathered in this safety zone. The family is very large now. It's normal that you wouldn't know about some of the changes at home since you haven't been back for a few years."
Hua Yuxiao's pretty face blushed slightly, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I've been... really too busy all these years. I'm a disobedient granddaughter!"
"Silly girl, you're working in Kyoto, so you must be very busy. How could you come back to see Grandpa often? Don't worry, I can manage these family matters!"
Elder Hua was already satisfied upon hearing this. He was all smiles and filled with contentment.
Xiuxiu, standing nearby, also jumped over, "Grandpa Hua is so healthy, this large family must be managed very well!"
"Heh, Xiuxiu, it's been a long time. It's also because you sisters have been in Kyoto all these years that I, this old man, feel a bit more at ease. Xiuxiu, I heard you're already married, this..."
Elder Hua only managed to say half of his sentence before looking towards Lin Shuainan beside him.
Lin Shuainan walked beside Ling Feng, which indicated how extraordinary Lin Shuainan's status was.
