When Lin Feng said those words, Chu Fang Nan knew that there was nothing he could say anymore.
Someone's attitude was too firm.
It wasn't something he could do even if he tried to stall for time.
So …
Chu Fangnan felt that it was better for him to resign himself to his fate and help resolve this issue rather than have such a simple matter escalate to Chairman Lin's level.
Of course, before this, he had said that it might not be convenient for him to suggest that she wait two days before leaving with him. Now, he suddenly changed his mind and took back the responsibility. There was definitely something inappropriate about this.
What was wrong was that he had changed his attitude and words several times in a row. It was inevitable that Lin Feng would be suspicious, or that he had revealed some hidden meaning.
But at this time, Chu Fangnan didn't care too much about this.
Because …
He didn't change his mind, his attitude didn't change. In fact, Lin Feng on the other end of the phone might have already guessed some truths.
Some truths related to the girl on the other side of the ocean.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Fangnan could only silently pray that Lin Feng didn't guess everything. He forced himself to calm down and continued to discuss matters related to visa application with Lin Feng.
"No need to trouble yourself."
"There's no need for you to make a special trip here. Our Telecommunications Association has basically all your information. I'll find someone to help print it out. It'll take some time anyway. You can just come over in the afternoon to deliver the passport."
As he said this, Chu Fangnan seemed to think of something.
"I remember there's a competition in your Gold Spear Cup today?"
"Your school advanced, right? If that's the case, then you don't have to come in the afternoon. We can just meet at the competition venue. You can just give it to me."
On the other end of the line, Lin Feng was stunned.
Gold Spear Cup?
This name made him subconsciously a little confused, but he quickly remembered that he had just talked about it with his roommates at school yesterday morning. At that time, he vaguely remembered that Qiu Le and the others had also mentioned that the Gold Spear Cup had made it to the semifinals and would soon continue …
But he didn't have any idea of the specific time.
It's … today?
Lin Feng was a little hesitant. "I'm not sure. I'll ask when I get to school."
Chu Fangnan nodded. "Okay, call me back when you're sure."
At this time, his words were very straightforward and decisive.
This had always been Chu Fang Nan's style of doing things. Once he made a decision, he would be direct and efficient, without the slightest bit of hesitation. Previously, he had tried to find all sorts of reasons to delay … it was indeed because of some extremely rare reasons.
The call ended at this point.
In an office in the Shanghai TV Industry Association branch building, Chu Fang put down his phone and recalled his conversation with Lin Feng. Thinking about Lin Feng's incomparably firm attitude, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then, after thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone again and dialed another number.
The call was quickly connected.
Chu Fangnan took a deep breath as he placed the phone to his ear.
"Number One?"
"Have you arrived in England?"
"Yes, on my side … I just received a call from Lin Feng. He was very determined to help me get an urgent visa."
As he spoke, he paused, and an apologetic look appeared on his face.
"I wanted to try to stall for time, but it was useless. He seems to have guessed something."
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment.
After a while, Number One's voice was heard.
"Understood."
"Then let's do as he says."
When the last sentence was said, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became a little softer, like a faint sigh.
"There's something …"
"It can't be stopped."
…
In the subway station, Lin Feng, who had hung up the phone, had already followed the flow of people on the platform into the subway carriage. He wasn't in the mood to find an empty seat, so he simply stood by the handrail next to him.
The door slowly closed. Accompanied by the sound of the engine, the subway once again slowly moved forward into the tunnel ahead.
Lin Feng lowered his head, silent.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that his right hand, which was holding the phone, had been trembling slightly.
It revealed that he wasn't calm at all.
The conversation he had with Chu Fang Nan on the phone just now … From beginning to end, he seemed to be incomparably calm and composed. Even when he mentioned his uncle, his tone didn't change in the slightest.
But —
When Chu Fang Nan finally agreed to his request and confirmed that he could get an urgent visa as soon as possible, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Yes.
He wasn't stupid.
From Chu Fang Nan's initial and subsequent change in attitude, he could detect many details that didn't need to be put into words.
Sure enough … there was something hidden from him.
In fact, even this wasn't something he had just found out. Since yesterday … or even earlier, when he sent a message to Steamed Bun and didn't get a reply, he had vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Then, as he continued to explore the details bit by bit …
His mood gradually became more and more uneasy.
Until he saw Sister Xiao Wu and Senior No. 3 leave in a hurry last night, and the hesitant look on Senior No. 1's face when he sent him off, the girl's panicked reaction when he was eating supper with Tang Tang at the wonton shop last night, and Sister Xue's attempt to talk to him last night after he got home last night …
There were too many things.
Too many abnormal and unreasonable things were stacked on top of each other.
It could make people effortlessly speculate certain conclusions.
Finally …
In that moment on the phone, he got the final confirmation from Chu Fang Nan's change in attitude.
One …
Even if it was just a thought in his mind, he couldn't stop his heart from trembling violently.
Steamed Bun.
Something had happened.
He tried to take deep breaths, trying to force his emotions to calm down, but Lin Feng powerlessly and blankly found that he couldn't control it at all. Not only his heart, but even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The other passengers next to him couldn't help but look over with strange looks, looking worriedly at this boy who looked like a student, not knowing what had happened to him.
It must be … something bad.
Otherwise, why would this boy's expression be so bewildered, making people easily feel an incomparably heavy aura?
And at this moment, Lin Feng didn't have the mind to care about the other passengers next to him.
His mind was in a complete mess, like a roar.
Countless fragments of images flashed through his mind.
The reunion with his childhood sweetheart at Shisan High School.
That surprise and astonishment.
And many times, the girl seemed to inadvertently reveal a faint look of sadness.
Then, she left without saying goodbye.
That letter.
Under normal circumstances … if it was really just to study abroad, there was no way she would leave without saying goodbye.
It could only be that she didn't want others to know, or especially didn't want him to know.
Then.
He gathered all the details and information together.
All he could come up with seemed to be an incomparably melodramatic conclusion that made people's hearts almost uncontrollably tighten.
Steamed Bun, she …
At some point, Lin Feng's face had completely drained of blood, becoming incomparably pale.
