Chapter 629: The Gentle Touch of the President’s Wife

Vital Energy is produced within the body when someone’s internal power reaches a certain threshold. This gas-like substance is akin to Qigong, yet it supersedes it, and is referred to as ’Vital Energy’ by martial arts experts.

In the past, Lin Zifeng’s understanding was too weak to grasp such ethereal concepts, and even the old man in the Dark Prison had never used Vital Energy. However, with the changes brought about by the Magic Bracelet, his body gradually underwent significant transformations, which stirred some excitement in Lin Zifeng.

His Vital Energy now seemed to have become tangible. Back when he fought fiercely against Long Tianya, his opponent had already reached the level of ’Fist Generating Vital Energy.’

In just a short half-month, his own Vital Energy was strong enough to suppress any enemy of the same level, and could even be compared to those masters capable of ’Vital Energy Expelling.’

Although Vital Energy Expelling wasn’t quite like in the martial arts novels, where one could direct weapons to fight, it could at least infuse Vital Energy into a weapon over a short distance, making it seem as if the weapon had its own spirit to swiftly kill any foe!

Just like the men from Five Elements tonight, they could use their robust Vital Energy to make weapons more deadly over short distances.

”It seems this Vital Energy is indeed valuable. I just don’t know what kind of capabilities lie above the ’Vital Energy Expelling’ realm.”

He took off the Magic Bracelet, quietly placed it in his palm, and felt its ordinary, constant temperature. Lin Zifeng’s mind drifted off again.

Legend had it that the Ancient Greek Magic Bracelet was an heirloom of the Greece Goddess, capable of Resurrection. If it really held the power as the legends claimed, then could he wield this resurrection force to give his lost brothers a chance to live again?

At that thought, Lin Zifeng felt a wave of excitement, but he soon dismissed the idea.

”That’s impossible. It’s been two years; the bodies of the Twelve Eagles have long turned to dust. Even if resurrection were possible, could it bring life to dead bones and flesh?”

”What are you doing in there? Hurry up and open the door!” Just then, someone knocked on the door a few times.

Lin Zifeng, lost in his thoughts, was startled.

He quickly put away the Magic Bracelet and, with a beaming smile, went to open the door, asking, ”What is it?”

”Are you, are you alright?” The woman poked her head in, and upon smelling the manly scent of sweat in the room, her fair and cold eyebrows scrunched up immediately.

”What could be wrong with me? It’s almost half-past ten, why aren’t you asleep yet?” asked Lin Zifeng.

”What’s wrong with you? Why are you covered in so much blood? Are you hurt?” Nangong Bing looked at him with moist, glistening eyes, and seeing Lin Zifeng covered in blood, she felt a mix of fear and heartache for him.

”This is someone else’s blood, it has nothing to do with me,” Lin Zifeng said. He was slightly injured, but it was nothing serious. If it hadn’t been for Mu Yang stopping him at the critical moment, he would have surely killed Long Tianya, not just crippled him.

His grudge against Long Tianya wasn’t new.

Previously, Lin Zifeng had even taken the initiative to humiliate him thoroughly. This time it was merely collecting some interest.

”You still haven’t told me who you killed!”

Nangong Bing looked at him in terror. Lin Zifeng killing people wasn’t anything unusual, but coming home covered in blood was a first. Originally, he planned to change his clothes outside, but without the time, he had to bring them home and to his bad luck, she saw him.

”Even if I tell you whom I killed, you wouldn’t know. Saying it would be just as good as saying nothing,” Lin Zifeng said with a smirk.

He took off his shirt and threw it into the trash. The fresh blood was simply the interest he had collected that evening.

”Alright, alright, stop looking at me with those eyes, okay? I’m fine. It’s not as terrible as you imagine. Aren’t I alive and well? When you look at me with those eyes, it scares me,” Lin Zifeng chuckled.

”Can you be serious for once? Why is everything so unserious when it gets to your lips? You’re alive this time, but what if you killed someone? What about next time? If you kill someone, won’t they come looking for trouble?”

Nangong Bing was a bit feignedly angry.

”Relax, it’s not as complicated as you think. Trust me, you know what I’m capable of. And don’t overthink it,” Lin Zifeng laughed it off.

Seeing his unserious demeanor, Nangong Bing could only let go of her worries.

At that moment, Nangong Bing seemed to remember something.

”Can you accompany me on a trip outside?” Nangong Bing tentatively asked. The sight of his blood-stained pants was distressing.

”Where to?” Lin Zifeng asked. ”You’re planning on going out this late at night?”

”I, I still have an important document at the office, and it’s so late now. I can’t retrieve it alone, so...”

”So you want me to go with you, right?” Lin Zifeng said with a smile. He shrugged his shoulders and said, ”Let’s go. Let’s make it quick while the security department brothers are still there.”

It wasn’t too late now, but if it got any later, most of the security department staff at Tianyu Group would lock the doors, switch off the lights, pull the gates, and block the passageways.

Tianyu had an unwritten rule that nobody was allowed to work overtime past midnight. For a tech company like Tianyu, tech workers, especially programmers, wouldn’t just work overtime. They could spend months living in the company without even stepping outside once.

Tech companies keep a large number of programmers on staff. Their daily work involves searching for bugs on the network, and then checking and troubleshooting. Any issues need to be dealt with immediately.

Sometimes, when a network program malfunctions or gets attacked by hackers, these guys have to work around the clock for several nights in a row.

When they’re tired, they just sleep on the spot, and when they’re hungry, they eat a couple of cups of instant noodles.

But such scenarios don’t exist at Tianyu Group.

To the employees, Nangong Bing was quite open-minded.

”Mm-hmm,” Nangong Bing nodded, seemingly with more to say.

”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go,” Lin Zifeng took the lead and walked out. He then took his car keys and headed towards the garage.

Nangong Bing quickly changed her clothes and ran to the garage. Only then did the two hurry toward the company.

It was almost midnight, and Nangong Bing was not planning to enter through the front door, considering it was too late...

Moreover, she had left an important document at the office, which she had forgotten to take. The document was suggested during today’s meeting, and if the word got out, it would tarnish her reputation as the president, suggest she was absent-minded or not devoted to her work. For a woman as strong-willed as Nangong Bing, it would definitely make her furious.

”You, you don’t have to be so desperate, you know. Even if you left the document at the office, there is no need to rush back for it,” Lin Zifeng scolded her while driving.

”I don’t want to either. But...”

”No buts. You’re just a workaholic, you forget even who you are when you’re working. It’s not good. Don’t forget your own health. Your health is the most important thing,” Lin Zifeng said.

This made Nangong Bing feel somewhat aggrieved. She was just working hard, not what one would call a workaholic. Him scolding her so directly to her face was a bit much.
