Chapter 704 Summon and Return
When it came to the life and death of the Xiao family, Xiao Hong couldn't afford any delays. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He quickly ordered someone to prepare the transfer agreement for the Xiao Group. Chu Feng didn't even bother to look at it and swiftly signed it with a few strokes, finally allowing Xiao Hong to breathe a sigh of relief.
Tang Sisi and the doctors at the clinic couldn't help but envy the situation. They marveled at how effortlessly Chu Feng acquired a multibillion-dollar conglomerate, and the Xiao family had every reason to be grateful to him. It was truly something to be envious of.
Chu Feng simply smiled and, after dealing with the Xiao family's affairs, stayed at the clinic for another two hours. In the late afternoon, he left.
As the afternoon twilight settled in, pedestrians hurried along the streets, and the traffic bustled.
After a day of exhausting work, the faces of the passersby carried a sense of fatigue. Occasionally, groups of people who cared about national affairs began to discuss the latest "Xi Ye dispute" in hushed voices, filled with righteous indignation.
"Have you heard? The Xi Ye border conflict has started again. I heard that those Xi Xia soldiers destroyed two of our small towns. Our officials are still negotiating and protesting. It's truly frustrating!"
"Hehe, they're disrespecting us, and we're still negotiating? What a joke!"
"With hundreds of thousands of troops from Xi Ye stationed there, isn't there a single brave and courageous man among them?"
"Xi Ye is no longer what it used to be. Ever since Dragon Lord stepped down from power, the entire military theater has descended into chaos. Various factions are busy fighting for power and profit,
trying to get a share of the pie. Who has the time to care about the lives and deaths of us common people?"
"In this day and age, we can only try to get by. Let's not talk about national affairs, or we'll end up getting burned."
"You're right. We still have wives and children to support. We have the intention, but not the ability."
Chu Feng walked through the crowd, listening to the complaints and discussions around him, his face calm as he glanced at the large screens in the shopping mall, newspapers, and various news media.
Without exception, they were all reporting on the recent heated "Xi Ye border dispute." It seemed like a national war was rapidly brewing and about to erupt.
Chu Feng, like a passerby, calmly walked along the street, listening to the curses, accusations, and even the helpless sadness in his ears, as if none of it had anything to do with him.
Back at home, Chu Feng washed the vegetables and cooked as usual, enjoying a happy and peaceful family reunion with Yun Muqing and Duo Duo.
However, there was always something peculiar about the atmosphere today.
"Mom, I feel like Dad is absent-minded today, as if he has something on his mind."
After dinner, Duo Duo glanced at Chu Feng standing alone on the balcony, leaning against Yun Muqing's arms, and said, "Dad, is he going to leave us again?"
Yun Muqing's heart trembled inexplicably, and she smiled at her daughter, saying, "Why would you think such random thoughts? Dad has always been by our side."
"Go watch TV by yourself and stop thinking nonsense."
"Okay." Duo Duo nodded thoughtfully, her big eyes flickering, feeling a bit empty...
Yun Muqing also sighed softly, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity.
The recent turmoil at the border of Xi Ye was well known to her.
Chu Feng, the God of War who emerged from Xi Ye, witnessed the decline of the once glorious Xi Ye army, and the taste and complexity in his heart could be imagined.
She had a strong premonition that, as her daughter said, their family was about to be separated again.
Chu Feng was a soldier; it was his soul and his beliefs engraved in his bones.
If, one day, war were to break out at the border of Xi Ye, he would undoubtedly rush over without hesitation, put on his battle armor again, and raise the banner high!
