Chapter 32 - 32
'So... What actually happened?' Zhang Qin Feng asked himself and randomly picked a few items from the food carts while keeping his expression neutral. To him, this was the most awkward moment in his life.
But what he had no idea is everything was a test from this elder.
Well... At least from when he wakes up until now. The room he was on is currently getting raided by special agents in their black suit. The bedding sheet he was on was taken away first for a lab test. It was followed by his nail, hair, and skin samples.
Last but not least, a unique solution was then applied to the toiletries used by Zhang Qin Feng for his fingerprints.
As for the watches... A very minuscule tracking device is removed from the metal straps as they packed it back into their original boxes before taken away.
...
[Would you like me to play the recording back in your mind?]
Stein's suggestion came to Zhang Qin Feng while he's still pondering about what actually happened that night.
[Also... The user has been asleep for a day and night due to mental and physical exhaustion. The mental strain is likely due to your recklessness in injecting the two Strengthening Serums at the same time]
'Wait... You say that I am asleep for a day and night? Does this mean that today is Tuesday and not Monday?' Zhang Qin Feng's thought was shown on his face like a readable book. It even puzzled the elder as he studies the youngster's facial expression.
The recording played itself inside Zhang Qin Feng's mind as he entered a meditation state.
...
"Sign the paper, now!" Gui-Ge said as he grabbed Wang Yufei's forehead. The scene that happened right in front of him made Zhang Qin Feng nervous as he asked Stein to provide him with all kinds of assistance available at this instant.
'Stein! Help me! I want to protect my woman!' Zhang Qin Feng whispered as he supported his left arm that got dislocated from getting smashed by that forty or so kilograms heavy chair.
[Support request granted. Please verbally approve the action of injecting both Strengthening Serums and Instant Recovery Spray through the Store Assistance Mode]
'Approve!' Zhang Qin Feng said.
An explosive burst of strength came out of nowhere as Zhang Qin Feng felt he was on some steroid jabs. Jumping at where Gui-Ge and Wang Yufei are at, Zhang Qin Feng gave the thug a kick straight on his face as he forced them apart.
And in exchange for this reckless move, Zhang Qin Feng crashed on top of the tempered glass table. Luckily, Wang Yufei was already on the verge of losing her consciousness and no longer responsive to all kinds of disturbance.
The police siren and warning from their megaphone then made things worst as Gui-Ge reached his hand on the back of his belt and took something that looked like a steel machete out.
In this instance, Zhang Qin Feng could no longer keep his ability secret.
"Phalanx!" Zhang Qin Feng shouted. The pistol that was kept in the Dimensional Storage appeared in his grip as he fired three consecutive shots at Gui-Ge without hesitation.
**Bip! Bip!**
"Ding," a sharp ring came to their ears as one of the bullets ricocheted to the nearby wall. The first shot was a miss as well.
**Bip!**
But the third shot managed to scratch Gui-Ge's shoulder as it forced the thug to escape. It was hard to believe that the thug was quite agile with such a big body like a football player.
"Huh - Huh - Huh..." Zhang Qin Feng was still in a state of confusion as he pointed his gun at the door Gui-Ge escaped.
[The Phalanx X-02 will be transferred into the Dimensional Storage by force for safety reasons. The user will soon receive a rebound from the serum's medicinal effect]

As soon as the replay finished, Zhang Qin Feng's awareness returned to the dining table. Sweat droplets the size of green peas were rolling down from all over his head as he came back to his sense.
"Are you alright, grandnephew?" the elder asked as his butler prepared the croissant beside him with a piece of salted butter spread all over the pastry.
"I'm... I'm fine." Zhang Qin Feng grabbed the towel on top of the plate and wiped his face.
"Grandfather!" Wang Yufei finally came between them as she appeared beside the elder and gave him a kiss on his wrinkled cheek. In an instant, the elder's face immediately turned in a happy old man as he looks at his beloved granddaughter.
"Have you two started to talk?" Wang Yufei grabbed Zhang Qin Feng's arm as she pulls him up from his seat. From the look of it, she's going to introduce them once again, properly.
"This is my beloved boyfriend. His name was Zhang Qin Feng. I know that he might not be someone grandfather might like, but please allow Yufei to make her own decision. I believe that this man is worthy of all my effort." she said with her hand holding tight on Zhang Qin Feng's arm.
"Feng, this person is my grandfather. He's the person that loved me the most in this world, after you." Wang Yufei turned to Zhang Qin Feng and introduced her grandfather to Zhang Qin Feng again.
"Grandfather..." Zhang Qin Feng bowed slightly this time. It seems that his politeness got a few extra points from the elder.
"As long my dearest Feifei is happy, then grandfather is happy. Come accompany this old man and eat breakfast together, shall we?" the elder said as a smile is seen on his face.
Sitting opposite Zhang Qin Feng, Wang Yufei chose a few sweet pastries as her breakfast and enjoyed it while sharing everything with the elder. Their conversation was mainly about how the two get to know each other.
It was a warm morning until Wang Yufei left to get herself changed as she had to prepare to go to work.
"Grandnephew Feng... Can this old man ask you a question?" Wang Yufei's grandfather asked as he was supported by a maid while walking with Zhang Qin Feng around the garden.
"Grandfather, please feel free to ask." Zhang Qin Feng nodded.
"What unit are you affiliated with?" the elder asked.
"U - Unit?" Zhang Qin Feng revealed a puzzled expression.
