Chapter 195 Safe and Sound
Chen Feng heard everything the people at the next table said. The Wang family's daughter? The Wang family, I remember the Wang family is not far away.
Unlike Chen Feng, the young girl paid no attention to anything else and focused only on eating the food on the table. "Mmm, delicious. The food in the academy cafeteria is really not good. I don't know what the academy is thinking. Why don't they hire a better chef? You said it, Brother Chen Feng."
The little girl looked up and Chen Feng was gone. "Strange, where did he go?"
The Wang family? The renowned Wang family. Ordinary people might not recognize them, but everyone knows the incredibly wealthy Wang family. So she really is a rich young lady who secretly ran away. The one who rescued her must be from the Wang family; if so, she should be safe now. Chen Feng pondered, then walked along the main road towards the Wang family's residence.
In truth, Chen Feng had no real connection with the Wang family, nor was he particularly close to that girl. However, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable urge to meddle. Perhaps it was because He Fei had been taken away right before his eyes, and he felt guilty for not being able to help, leaving him with a psychological scar. The same feeling persisted after the previous kidnapping of the young girl; Chen Feng needed to see if she was safe. This girl didn't leave a bad impression on him. Although stealing was wrong, she was kind-hearted and hadn't caused any major harm; overall, she seemed like a decent person.
Before long, Chen Feng arrived at the Wang family's residence, a very large mansion. There were guards at the main gate. It was only afternoon, but the sky was already bright, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road. Chen Feng didn't intend to pay a visit; he simply wanted to secretly observe whether the other party was safe. If he saw that they were safe, Chen Feng would be at ease.
Chen Feng bypassed the main gate and entered through a side path, walking along the wall until he reached a house—one of the houses in the Wang family's mansion. Taking advantage of the absence of others, Chen Feng channeled his spiritual power and leaped onto the roof. Once on the roof, Chen Feng crouched low, moving forward stealthily to avoid being seen. After all, it was broad daylight, and being discovered while standing so high up would be no laughing matter.
Chen Feng crouched down and crawled inching forward along the rooftop, his eyes scanning his surroundings for any sign of the girl. He didn't find her; he needed to find another house. Looking around, and seeing no one watching, he leaped onto another house. As soon as he landed, he saw a woman playing happily in the yard. She had long, flowing hair, a slender figure, and was very beautiful. When she turned around, Chen Feng recognized her as the girl, carefree and playing happily in her own yard. Chen Feng nodded, a weight lifted from his heart. Seeing no one around, he leaped off the roof, jumped over the wall, and then walked towards the main road as if nothing had happened.
But as soon as he turned around, he found the little girl right in front of him, which really startled Chen Feng. For a moment, Chen Feng's heart almost jumped out of his chest, thinking that he had been caught red-handed by the Wang family.
Seeing that it was a young girl, he felt relieved, but was also curious as to how she had followed him. "What are you doing here?"
The little girl grinned mischievously and teased, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Feng didn't speak and ignored the girl.
Then, the little girl pressed on, asking, "Were you peeping at other girls?"
Chen Feng didn't answer, but walked ahead alone. He was still thinking about what had just happened, still brooding over He Fei. He had missed out on He Fei, and he didn't want anyone else to follow in her footsteps, didn't want anyone else to just disappear like that. Chen Feng had no relation to this girl, and there was no need for him to go to such lengths for her. Chen Feng wasn't sure if he was meddling, but he just couldn't help himself; perhaps that was just his temperament.
Chen Feng returned to the inn, having spent so much time fussing around without eating. The food was still on the table, and the young girl hadn't finished her meal either. Chen Feng sat down to eat, and the young girl came over and sat down as well.
The young girl looked at Chen Feng and said, "I specifically told the boss I'd be back in a bit. Hurry up and finish what you've eaten. I wonder what you were doing there? Are you connected to the Wang family?"
Chen Feng thought for a moment. He needed to find a way to shut her up quickly, otherwise she wouldn't give up until she got to the bottom of things. No, that wouldn't work; he could only try to distract her. Yes, distract her.
Chen Feng smacked his lips and said, "This food tastes pretty good, much better than the cafeteria food. I should eat out more often in the future."
The little girl nodded and said, "Right? I think so too. I don't know if the academy is short of money or what, but they actually hired such a chef. It's a good thing he doesn't run a restaurant, otherwise, he would have gone bankrupt."
Chen Feng realized he had successfully diverted the attention. "Great," he thought, "I'll have to give the college some feedback when I have time."
Hearing this, the little girl was very happy. "Brother Chen Feng, it's best to raise these kinds of opinions more often and earlier. This is also a contribution to the development of the college and to enhancing its image."
Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, I will definitely mention it to them more often."
The little girl smiled and asked again, "Brother Chen Feng, what were you doing at the Wang family's house before? And why were you sneaking around like that?"
Chen Feng covered his face. How did we end up back here again? This won't do; I can't get past this hurdle. I need to try a different approach. Chen Feng still didn't answer her question, and instead shifted his attention to another topic.
"How do you think the food at this restaurant compares to what you eat at home?" Chen Feng asked.
The young woman thought for a moment and replied, "I feel they're about the same. First of all, while the taste of the food differs, there's no clear difference in which is better. It's just that everyone has different tastes. As for the quality of the food, it's about the same. Whether it's the color, the quantity, or the freshness, there are some differences, but they're not that significant. Our businesses are about the same size. In terms of hygiene and decor, they're pretty much the same, and the service is about the same too."
Chen Feng nodded. "Okay, what about the previous place? The one we ate at before school started? How was that one?"
The girl thought for a moment, then looked utterly dejected. "Compared to them, we're far behind. There's nothing we can do. Their inn is one of the few that does exceptionally well. It excels in every aspect, and many inns can't compare."
Chen Feng nodded. He had almost finished eating and was about to leave when the little girl quickly caught up with him and asked, "What's your relationship with the Wang family? Why did you sneak over to their house? Do you know anyone in the Wang family? Or are you related to them?"
