Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 521: Chapter 516: Turns Out I’ve Become a Public Idol

In the following days, to comfort Li Lin’s emotions, Lin Zifeng stayed by her side every day. Upon learning about the situation that day, Lin Zifeng didn’t speak but just accompanied and comforted Li Lin.

As for Li Lin’s parents, Lin Zifeng also arranged for a psychologist for them, understanding that an ordinary family suffering through such a kidnapping incident would inflict significant psychological trauma on them.

Meanwhile, Su Ni paid several visits, but the information she brought back each time was disappointing. It was known that the perpetrator was the man with the scar, but the police were powerless and unable to catch him. The actual assailant had already been killed by Lin Zifeng, but there was neither witness nor evidence against the mastermind behind the scenes, leaving Su Ni completely bewildered.

”Big Brother Lin, do you think they’ll come after me again?” On a little bench in the park, Li Lin looked up at the man in front of her with eyes as clear as autumn waters, pitifully helpless.

”Silly girl, with Big Brother Lin here, everything will be alright,” Lin Zifeng chuckled as he caressed her fair face.

”But, but a few days ago when my dad went to the market, he said someone was following him!” Li Lin said, visibly nervous.

”Oh?!” Lin Zifeng’s smile gradually faded, thinking it seemed these people really didn’t know what death meant. He hadn’t pursued the matter further, yet they still wouldn’t leave Li Lin alone.

”Big Brother Lin, what should we do? It seems they’re not willing to let me go, and I’m really scared. I fear they’ll harm my parents; they’re innocent.”

”Linlin, remember, no matter what happens, your Big Brother Lin will take care of it all. Rest assured, this issue will be resolved very soon.” The man wasn’t particularly tall but provided Li Lin with a unique warmth.

”Mhm.” Li Lin pursed her lips and nodded, ”Big Brother Lin, you have to be careful too. I’m afraid they might hurt you.”

”Don’t worry, the one thing your Big Brother Lin may lack is anything but a talent for escaping,” he replied.

”Pfft—Big Brother Lin, you still need to take good care of yourself. I’m really scared of losing you.” The young girl almost burst into laughter at his words and then leaned her beautiful head against his abdomen, her face blushing slightly.

”Heh, Big Brother Lin has been through so much in these five years, but isn’t he still alive and well?” Lin Zifeng replied with a smile, playfully pinching the girl’s nose, which made her wrinkle it in faux annoyance.

After a long pause—

Leaning on Lin Zifeng’s abdomen, the girl suddenly asked, ”Big Brother Lin, did you come to my house that night my parents told me about? And after I was kidnapped that night, you said a man wearing a mask saved me, is that true?” the girl puckered her lips in an attempt to uncover the truth.

”Er, yes! I did go to your house that night, but you had already been taken by them. I was frantically searching for you everywhere like a mad dog. Just when Big Brother Lin was feeling desperate, a man dressed in black emerged from the dark, carrying you step by step. He handed you over to me, unharmed, and asked me to take good care of you. After that, you woke up, and that’s all there is to it.”

It wasn’t that Lin Zifeng wanted to keep Li Lin in the dark; rather, knowing too much wouldn’t be good for her. He hoped Li Lin would understand his good intentions someday.

”Big Brother Lin, is that true? The man you mentioned with the mask, was he wearing a green bronze mask?” Li Lin’s eyes, bright as jewels, suddenly lit up with excitement.

”Yeah, yeah,” Lin Zifeng said, forcing a bitter smile and nodding.

”Big Brother Lin, is it true?! Could he really be the same person who helped Su Ni crack the building hostage case last time, the Death God?” Li Lin’s cunning eyes sparkled endlessly with excitement.

Speaking of the public idol known as Death God, she was even more excited than Lin Zifeng himself.

”I suppose it’s him,” Lin Zifeng nodded and asked, ”How did you know he’s called Death God?”

”Hehe, who in Zhonghai City doesn’t know about Death God? If it wasn’t for his appearance at the critical moment during the last building hostage case, probably all the hostages inside would have been in danger. That day, we were having lunch at school, just as we saw him on the live broadcast on TV.”

Uh— I seem to have become a public idol.

Lin Zifeng touched his chin helplessly.

”Yo! It seems you are in quite good spirits here? Coming out here to chat, I wouldn’t have found you two if I hadn’t asked Li Uncle earlier,” Su Ni’s magnetic voice suddenly came from behind them.

”Sister Su Ni!” Li Lin promptly called out sweetly.

”Linlin, feeling any better today?” Su Ni glanced at Li Lin with tender eyes before her gaze became indifferent as it swept across someone else.

Thinking to herself: You deadbeat, she’s just been psychologically shaken, and instead of comforting her at home, you bring her to such a secluded park. What are you planning? Do you want to play out a cliché story of an old cow eating tender grass? Humph! Now look what’s happened. Thankfully I’m here. Who knows how much ’comfort’ you would’ve provided if left alone any longer.

”Su Ni Sister, I’ve been feeling a lot better these past few days with Big Brother Lin by my side,” Li Lin said with a smile, ”Eh! Sister Su Ni, what’s wrong with your eyes?”

Seeing Su Ni occasionally glancing at someone else, Li Lin thought there was something wrong with her eyes.

”Ah! No, it’s nothing,” Su Ni replied, her pretty face blushing slightly, clearly having something on her mind.
