Chapter 511

Chapter 511 - Arrival

On the highway, three cars were moving steadily. Xiao Ying was driving a black flag car with a guard leading the way, while Ji Feng was driving a BMW with his mother and Tong Lei in the middle. Zhang Lei and the remaining two guards were at the back of the group.

It was already around one in the afternoon. After sitting in the car for the whole morning, Zhang Lei was feeling a bit tired. However, when he saw the signpost in front of him, his spirit was immediately lifted.

"Madman … "Ji Feng, up ahead is Mang Shi County's territory!"

Zhang Lei's voice came over the walkie-talkie. This guy was used to calling people crazy, so the moment the words left his mouth, he remembered that Ji Feng's mother, Xiao Sumei, was still in Ji Feng's car.

Ji Feng shook his head and smiled. He picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "Keep your spirits up. We'll be home in half an hour. Be careful when driving!"

From Zhang Lei's voice, he could tell that this fellow was a little tired. Ji Feng couldn't help but remind him that if he was too tired to drive, he would definitely be in danger. Especially after arriving at Mang Shi County, he had to be extra careful when driving.

A small county like Mang Shi County was different from a large city like Jiang Prefecture. People in small counties rarely thought of the rules of transportation. In any case, as long as they had time on their hands, they would still dare to walk. Moreover, many peddlers set up stalls by the side of the road, occupying more than half of the road.

There were also some wheat harvested by the farmers. Straw was also directly piled up by the roadside, allowing the pa.s.sing vehicles to help them grind the wheat. Therefore, there were many factors causing unrest along the way!

Under such circ.u.mstances, if he wasn't careful while driving, problems could happen at any time. Ji Feng had to remind Zhang Lei.

"Hehe, don't worry. I'll be careful when I drive!" Zhang Lei laughed heartily and said, "Ji Feng, let's go to my house first. Anyway, you have to arrange a place to stay for the time being and rest at my house. You can do it after you've arranged a place to stay, alright?"

Ji Feng laughed. "I'll have to ask my mother about that..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard his mother in the back row say, "This is a good arrangement!"

Ji Feng immediately laughed, "Lei Zi, did you hear? My mom said it's fine, let's arrange it this way!"

"Alright!"

Zhang Lei's spirit was immediately lifted. Good boy, there were four guards here. Although they were the guards that were protecting Xiao Sumei, it gave him a lot of face by following them.

Of course, Zhang Lei wanted to make use of this opportunity to let those people from the County Council's Subordinate Courtyard see what kind of background his family had!

He knew very well that his father, Tong Kade, was a low-key person and would not reveal his background. More importantly, the situation was a bit complicated in all aspects. If he let others know about his family background, he could become a chess piece for others to use, and would often be used as a weapon by some gamblers.

Thus, ever since he came to Mang Shi County, Tong Kaide had relied on his own abilities to do things and never mentioned his background to anyone.

However, if they went straight to the courtyard, the results would be vastly different.

Xiao Sumei and Ji Feng were both members of the Ji Clan. If they were to go, it might not be a big deal. However, Xiao Sumei had guards with her, so everyone would know that they were people of great background.

However, others did not know who these people were. They only knew that they were related to the Tong Family. Under these circ.u.mstances, everyone would know that Tong Kaide had a huge background, or at least had connections with someone with a huge background.

If that was the case, then even if Tong Kade was transferred away after the new year, Mang Shi County's people wouldn't be so quick to leave. Even if there was a situation where there was a new generation of officials, to Tong Kaide, these Mang Shi County officials would still treat him with the utmost respect.

Apart from this, Zhang Lei also had another intention. Ji Feng's hometown was Mang Shi County. If Tong Kade were to spread the word that he would leave behind the cadres to take care of Ji Feng's hometown, those people would work even harder!

Therefore, it could be said that going to Tong Kaide's home first was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Ji Feng didn't care what Zhang Lei was thinking. He only knew that this brother of his wouldn't screw him over, much less harm him. Actually, even if Ji Feng knew of Zhang Lei's intentions, he would only smile. It was normal for friends to help each other.

Although Mang Shi County was a bit slower now, it wasn't even 20 minutes before they entered Mang Shi County.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the road, as well as the chaotic traffic and children playing, Ji Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. This was the place where he was born and grew up in, even if it was his most painful memory, it was still a kind of memory after all.

"Hu!" Ji Feng sighed lightly. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Xiao Ying, slow down. I'll lead the way. You don't recognize the road ahead!"

Although navigation tools were useful, in a small county like Mang Shi County, there were many roads with no road names on them. When people talked about a certain road, most of the time, they would talk about a rather famous building near it.

For example, the Second Senior High School called the People's Road. However, not many people knew that Mang Shi County was the place to inquire about its people. However, the road behind the Second High School was known by almost everyone who came to the county.

"Alright!"

Little Shadow replied and slowed down, allowing Ji Feng's car to pa.s.s by.

"Lei Lei, you're going home now, aren't you happy?!" Xiao Susu asked as she sat in the back of the car, holding Tong Lei's hand.

"I'm fine, I came back at eleven, so I don't miss her!" Tong Lei said crisply.

Xiao Sumei immediately smiled. She was sincerely satisfied with this future daughter-in-law of hers. This girl was incomparably beautiful, just like a fairy that didn't care about the world. It was really her fortune that her son could find such a girlfriend.

If this was in the past, Xiao Sumei could only hope that her son would be able to get into a good university, graduate, then find a good daughter-in-law, peacefully leading a lifetime of peace and contentment.

But now, everything had changed. He finally had to return to the home that he had left for more than ten years.

Not only that, even his son had been humiliated in the past, but now he had no choice but to be dragged over. He was about to step back into his hometown, which he remembered with endless pain … No, that wasn't his son's hometown!

Xiao Sumei defended her son in her heart. That definitely wasn't her son's home. If that was his home, then how could his family treat his son like that?

When he thought about how his son was so young, he stubbornly refused to step even half a step into that village. In the following decade, he didn't even mention that village again, as if he had forgotten about the past.

However, Xiao Sumei knew that her son hadn't forgotten, and had only deeply engraved it in his heart.

The forgetting on the surface actually represented the unforgettable memory in their hearts!

She sighed in her heart. Although she had always hoped that her son would let go of his past grudges, but now, it seems that even she herself was unable to agree with that family, and she did not want her son to suffer any grievances. With her son's personality, she would definitely not feel wronged, even if it was out of respect for her son!

"I just hope that those people don't go too far. Otherwise, even if my son doesn't get angry, I can't help but walk away!" Xiao Sumei thought to herself.

What she was most afraid of was her family not knowing what was good for them. They would say something that would embarra.s.s everyone. That way, the final consequence would be the old man's life!

"Mom, Uncle Tong's house is right in front of us!" Ji Feng's voice brought Xiao Sumei back to reality as she subconsciously combed her hair.

"Let's stop in front. We came in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare any gifts. I'm going to the front to buy something!" Xiao Sumei said.

Ji Feng laughed, "Mom, I'll go. If you go down, Little Shadow and the other guards will follow. It's a bit too big, which is too eye-catching!"

Xiao Sumei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then, remember to buy some suitable things, don't buy them carelessly!"

Ji Feng laughed, "Don't worry, I know what to buy!"

Although Mang Shi County was small, its population wasn't small. Moreover, with such a large consumption rate, it naturally had quite a large supermarket. It was located at the most bustling intersection of Mang Shi County.

Ji Feng thought for a moment. Going to Tong Kaide's house actually didn't require anything. As long as he went there, it would be the best gift. However, due to the etiquette, the gift must be brought along.

So, he chose a few bottles of slightly more expensive wine and two famous cigarettes, paid, and walked out of the supermarket.

After that, Ji Feng and Xiao Sumei brought the gifts to Tong Kaide's house.

Seeing the two of them arrive, Tong Kaide was naturally very happy. However, Ji Feng only greeted the two of them before going to the booked hotel with Ji Feng.

Ever since he decided to follow his mother to Mang Shi County, Ji Feng had never thought of living in that house. If he really lived there, he was afraid that he would strangle those people while he was sleepwalking!

When he returned to the house, Xiao Sumei was already standing in front of the home. The Tong and Cade were with her, and her mother was talking to Mrs. Tong in a low voice.

"Greetings, Uncle Tong!" Seated in the driver's seat, Ji Feng waved his hands with a smile.

"Kid, you're being polite with me? Slow down on the road. Mom must be a bit tired after sitting in the car for so long! " Tong Kaide said with a smile. With his vision, he was naturally able to see the affection between his daughter and Ji Feng's child. The parents of both sides had already met, so Ji Feng was his future son-in-law.

Ji Feng smiled and nodded. After his mother greeted them, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the village that he would never forget — the Xiao family!

The fifth message was sent over.
