Chapter 134: The Long-Lost Young Master Returns to the Prestigious Family

The three-hour wait felt like an eternity to Chu Lingxuang.

She repeatedly rubbed her thumb over the saved footage of Lin Feng on her phone, her eyes narrowing into slits.

"You had better be as I judged you to be. If you try to run again, you will never see the sun for the rest of your life."

At that moment, Yu Xueyan hurried in. Breathless, she quickly reported, "Miss, I've found out. A staff member said outsiders had been on the island. They were very clever; they bypassed all the security cameras."

Yu Xueyan pulled out her phone, tapped the screen a few times, and handed it to Chu Lingxuang. "However, I had our people check the surveillance feeds at various ports in the capital. Just ten minutes ago, Lin Feng and a few others disembarked from a small boat."

As she continued to report, Chu Lingxuang's gaze remained fixed on the screen. In the footage, Lin Feng was surrounded by several men in black. While they weren't using overt force, the way they watched him and the formation they kept around him made it clear to her that he was being coerced.

It seemed someone else had set their sights on her "pet."

Chu Lingxuang’s lips curled into a sudden, bloodthirsty smile. She gestured for Yu Xueyan to continue.

Yu Xueyan caught her breath and added, "We've identified them. The leader is Sheng Chao, the head of Sheng Corporation. Miss, I really don't understand—Lin Feng’s past has nothing to do with the Sheng family. Why would Sheng Chao be looking for him now?"

Even though Chu Lingxuang had her own doubts, one thing was certain: anyone who dared to touch what was hers had to die.

"Tell Liu Tianhan immediately: Sheng Chao is to release him within the hour!" She placed the phone on the table, her expression dark and her tone icy.

Lin Feng had better be unharmed. Otherwise, even if they released him willingly, she would never let this go.

Yu Xueyan nodded hastily, took the phone, and wiped the sweat from her brow. Whoever dared to touch Lin Feng had truly kicked a steel plate.

Watching Yu Xueyan, Chu Lingxuang’s eyes grew deep and piercing. She narrowed them further and said in a chilling tone, "Tell him to bring the person to my company himself."

"Yes!"

...

After disembarking from the boat, two black cars waited on the shore. Sheng Chao, who had been about to invite Lin Feng into the car, felt his phone buzz. He gave Lin Feng an apologetic smile. "Kid, you go ahead and get in. I have some business at the company to handle."

Lin Feng’s eyes flickered, but he didn't say much, obediently sliding into the car.

Throughout the journey, he had tried to probe Sheng Chao about the "family" he mentioned, but Sheng Chao remained tight-lipped, diverting the conversation each time. It was clear that this homecoming was nothing more than a trap.

Since Sheng Chao refused to reveal the names of his family, Lin Feng grew bold enough to guess for himself. Anyone capable of ordering Sheng Chao to fetch him, and someone whom Sheng Chao feared so deeply, had to be more powerful than the Sheng family.

In the hierarchy of the capital, that led directly to the Four Great Families.

The renowned Four Great Families of the capital were the Wei, Gu, Wu, and Lin families. The Gu family had been destroyed by Chu Lingxuang long ago, leaving only three.

The Lin family...

Glancing at Sheng Chao, who was standing with his back to the car while on the phone, a thought suddenly struck Lin Feng: perhaps his biological father was a member of the Lin family.

In the past, he would never have dared to imagine such a thing. But now, Sheng Chao’s appearance forced him to be daring.

If that were the case, everything made sense. Perhaps a successor of the Lin family or his father’s second wife wanted to seize the inheritance and had orchestrated his abduction when he was just a year old. They hadn't expected him to return, let alone become famous online. So, they were coming for him again.

Lin Feng understood clearly: if his guesses were true, Sheng Chao was merely a hired gun, and the real trigger-puller was one of the other heirs of the Lin family.

This trip back was fraught with danger, but Lin Feng now had a clear objective. If he couldn't see his biological father, he would go to his father's father. In terms of bloodlines, seniority held power. If he could find his grandfather or grandmother, he might be able to protect himself.

Outside the window, Sheng Chao finished his call and glanced back at Lin Feng. Seeing him sitting quietly, he let out a sigh of relief and spoke into the phone with anxiety: "The backing behind Xiao Ran is indeed the Chu family. Their people are already giving me trouble. What do I do now?"

"Why wouldn't I panic? That’s the Chu family! They told me to deliver him to Yihan. Don't you know the Chu family's methods? My company is going to be finished..."

...

"Fine. Good. We'll do as you say..."

Hanging up, Sheng Chao took a deep breath, plastered a kindly smile on his face, and walked back to the car. Once inside, he looked at Lin Feng with a grin. "Kid, the questions you asked on the road? I can answer them now."

Lin Feng looked up slightly.

"You know about the Four Great Families, right?" Sheng Chao signaled the driver to start the car and gazed out the front window. "Your biological father is the eldest son of the Lin family, one of the Four Great Families."

As expected, a gasp of surprise escaped Lin Feng. Anyone would be shocked by such news; no one could remain indifferent to being the heir of such a massive conglomerate.

It seemed Lin Feng was no different.

Little did he know, Lin Feng’s gasp was only because his guess had been confirmed. However, he grew curious.

"Uncle Sheng, why didn't you tell me just now?" he asked, feigning excitement.

"This is a massive matter; I didn't dare speak of it rashly," Sheng Chao said slowly. "But I’ve just spoken with them. They said they would announce this to the media before you arrive home. Don't be nervous later—there will be dedicated media there to film your return."

Lin Feng had guessed he was part of the Lin family, but he hadn't expected them to publicize it so brazenly.

A long-lost young master returning to a wealthy family, and the person in question was someone who had just become an internet sensation? Once this news broke, it would generate unprecedented heat.

For him, it was a good thing. But Lin Feng never believed in free lunches. Once news of his return to the Lin family was public, those who wanted him dead would find it much harder to act.

If it were anyone else, they might be overjoyed. But Lin Feng, who had spent half his life in a state of vigilance, couldn't be happy.

The abduction all those years ago—how was it that they hadn't found him for over twenty years as one of the Four Great Families, only to suddenly "find" him now?

A chill ran down his spine. He realized that after leaving Chu Lingxuang, he seemed to have been pulled into an even larger vortex.
