Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Is it you?
Sitting on the bench outside, Ling Feng quickly finished the bread and then drank the mineral water. After throwing the garbage into the bin, he let out a long sigh and looked at the residential building in front of him. A feeling of trepidation upon nearing home welled up in Ling Feng's heart.
"Sooner or later, I had to take this step, might as well go up now!" Ling Feng muttered to himself, then touched the key on his chest and started to ascend.
Jinghua Community Block A, Room 804, guided by his well-known memories, Ling Feng arrived at the door. Gazing at the familiar door and the markings from his childhood left on the doorframe, Ling Feng couldn't help but reach out and gently caress them.
Although everything here had remained unchanged, the people were different; his parents, who adored him the most, had left him forever! Recalling his father's face before his death, Ling Feng's heart felt as if it was being twisted by a knife!
His hand trembling, he took the key from his chest. The key was somewhat old, but it was still in very good condition.
He took a deep breath and inserted the key into the lock.
The next moment, Ling Feng's expression changed! A grim Killing Aura appeared on his face.
The lock had been changed! The door to his own home had been replaced with a new lock!
Ling Feng's teeth clenched with a grinding sound, which meant that his home had been taken over by someone else! To Ling Feng, this was absolutely intolerable!
"This is my home, the place filled with my happiness and joy!" A chilling aura emerged from Ling Feng's body, "I don't care who has taken over my home, I will make them pay a heavy price!"
Closing his eyes, Ling Feng heard the sound of running water and a faint song coming from inside.
"There's someone inside! I can't believe someone dares to desecrate my holy land!" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh; his hand shook on the door lock, and with a surge of immense strength, he instantly shattered the lock core, and the door quietly opened!
Ling Feng walked in without making any sound.
After entering, the rage in Ling Feng's heart grew! Because the place that carried his memories had changed beyond recognition!
Although it was decorated neatly, with various items placed tidily and filled with a pink and cozy atmosphere, he could no longer find anything from his memories here!
This meant that this place was no longer the home he remembered. All the things carrying his memories were gone!
The guitar his father had bought for him that hung on the wall, the family photo of the three of them on the table, his mother's favorite flower arrangements, and hand paintings by the wall — all of it was gone!
Ling Feng's heart bled. The repressed anger built up inside of him like a volcano on the verge of eruption!
After scanning the room, Ling Feng sat on the sofa in the living room, spinning a white cell phone that lay on the coffee table continuously in his hand.
The occupant of his home now appeared to be a single woman, judging from the shoe rack at the entrance and the room's decor. It all suggested that a young woman had moved in!
With the girl's soft singing coming from the bathroom, Ling Feng wasn't in such a rush anymore.
"Since they've taken over my territory, I really want to see who it is!" Ling Feng said with a gaze fixed on the direction of the bathroom, his expression dark.
About fifteen minutes later, the bathroom door finally opened.
A tall woman in a pink bathrobe came out, her long hair still dripping wet, as she toweled it off.
Because of the angle, the girl didn't initially notice Ling Feng's presence. Suddenly her phone rang, and while drying her hair, she glanced over toward the sofa.
"Ah!" As she lifted her head, she discovered a man sitting on her sofa.
In fright, she couldn't help but scream loudly!
Ling Feng's brow furrowed, and his body spun like a whirlwind toward the girl, his left hand clamping down on her throat, cutting off her cry!
But now, Ling Feng simply didn't care about these things; his sole thought was to interrogate and find out why this woman had taken over his home!
After the panic and shock, the girl finally got a clear look at Ling Feng's face, and her eyes couldn't help but widen: "It's you… you… actually… followed me! You… you pervert!"
Because her throat was being constricted, the girl's voice came in gasps, and her gaze shifted from panic to anger!
Ling Feng frowned, "Who are you? How could you possibly know me?"
As he spoke, Ling Feng slightly loosened his left hand, giving the girl a chance to breathe.
After all, she was just a weak woman, and she posed no real threat to Ling Feng!
"You pervert!" The girl quickly wrapped herself in her bathrobe, angrily saying, "To think I paid for you, only to find you're such an ungrateful wretch! Get out now, my boyfriend will be here soon, and you won't be able to escape when he arrives!"
After getting a clear look at the girl's face, Ling Feng was taken aback; he recognized this girl! Wasn't this the kind girl who had just paid for him? Why was she in his house? What exactly had happened?
"It's you?" Ling Feng frowned and demanded, "What are you doing here?"
His tone gradually softened, and the killing intent in his heart also lessened a great deal.
The girl couldn't help but take a step back and said, "This is my home, why wouldn't I be here? You stalker, get out now! I'm warning you, my boyfriend is in the military police."
Ling Feng sneered inwardly, Military police? Even War Kings had perished at his hands, many of them!
"Military police? They don't impress me in the least!" Ling Feng said coldly, "Considering you just bought me a sandwich, I have a few questions for you. You'd better answer them truthfully, or else…"
As he spoke, Ling Feng's hand clenched and the girl's phone snapped, shattering into pieces: "This will be your fate!"
A twinge of heartache flashed through the girl's eyes; she had saved up for a long time to buy that phone, and she hadn't had it for even a month!
"What questions do you have, ask them!" The girl's gaze swept unintentionally toward the door, calculating the possibility of escaping.
Ling Feng said indifferently, "I'd advise you to give up any thoughts of escaping. If I wanted to kill you, you'd stand no chance of resisting! Your wisest choice right now is to cooperate with my questions! Rest assured, I have no interest in you!"
Although meant to be reassuring, those words felt incredibly harsh to the girl.
"I am a beauty, after all, and yet you dismiss me like this!" the girl thought indignantly. She wanted to show she had charm, but considering the consequences, she abandoned the idea and said spitefully, "Speak up if you've got something to say, or else just let it go!"
