"Is there? Perhaps you misunderstood. I mean, only after you successfully complete your mission will you be allowed to return to the Dragon Group. The key point is the successful completion of the mission."
"And delivering the letter is only the beginning of the mission, fulfilling the marriage agreement is also part of the mission. Didn't the Vulture tell you?"
"Oh, right, maybe I didn't make it clear to him, sorry about that! You know, I'm getting on in years, and sometimes my thoughts may not be especially clear!" Chen Weiguo feigned confusion.
"I..."
Chen Feng's face turned dark in an instant.
As Chen Weiguo's own grandson, Chen Feng understood his grandfather all too well. Known as the "Fox of the Battlefield," he was truly a crafty old fox.
What did he mean by not making things clear?
What was this about being old and thoughts not being especially clear?
This was obviously deliberate!
All of this, including the so-called mission and the marriage agreement, were definitely traps he had calculated in advance, just waiting for Chen Feng to fall into.
Thinking of this, black lines formed on Chen Feng's forehead as he felt speechless to the extreme.
His grandfather, who had once played his enemies around in circles on the battlefield, was now beginning to play him like a fiddle. It was truly unpreventable.
Chen Feng was starting to doubt whether he was indeed his grandfather's real grandson. To play him like this... the scheme was too deep.
"What are you 'I-ing' for? I'm telling you in advance, I have arranged the marriage agreement myself, and you absolutely cannot go back on your word!"
"Also, don't you want to return to the Dragon Group? Well then, be obedient and marry Yaoyao."
"After the two of you get married and have children, you can do whatever you want, and I won't interfere anymore. Otherwise, there's no room for discussion."
Chen Weiguo stated firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
This left Chen Feng utterly helpless, for from Chen Weiguo's tone, it was clear that this was an order that would not be revoked.
And Chen Weiguo, as a military commander, had orders that were irrefutable, only to be executed and obeyed.
Of course, Chen Feng could choose to refuse.
But the consequence would be that he could never return to the Dragon Group, never be able to uncover the truth of that matter, identify the real culprit, and avenge his comrades.
This was definitely not a scenario that Chen Feng wished to see.
Chen Feng took a deep breath, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
But that moment of hesitation quickly vanished.
In that moment, Chen Feng made up his mind to agree to the marriage arrangement.
Not for anything else, but to avenge his fallen comrades and to bring peace to their restless spirits. That alone was enough.
Chen Feng was willing to sacrifice his freedom for this cause, even if he was to be plunged into deep trouble, he had no regrets.
"Fine, I agree to this marriage arrangement, but I only hope you will keep your word. After I've done everything you've asked, you have to let me return to the Dragon Group!" Chen Feng said through gritted teeth, word by word.
"No problem! That's my good grandson. Trust me; you'll be grateful one day for the marriage arrangement I've made for you!" Chen Weiguo said gleefully.
"I hope so!" Chen Feng took a deep breath.
"Right, that'll do. I have an important meeting to attend shortly, so I'll hang up now!" Having said that, Chen Weiguo promptly hung up the phone.
Chen Feng stared at the disconnected phone for a moment, then put the phone away and looked up at Lin Wanqing and Lin Mengyao.
At this time, Lin Wanqing and Lin Mengyao were also arguing. Evidently, Lin Wanqing had told Lin Mengyao about the marriage arrangement.
"I will absolutely not marry this arrogant maniac, never!" Lin Mengyao said with an icy expression, her face set in determination.
Having finished speaking, she stood up and hurriedly ran toward the door.
As she reached the door, she glanced back at Chen Feng with a cold stare, snorted dismissively, then slammed the interview room door shut behind her as she left.
With Lin Mengyao's departure, the atmosphere within the interview room became somewhat awkward.
A couple of minutes passed in silence, when Wu Kun, unable to stand the uncomfortable silence any longer, quickly turned to Lin Wanqing and said,
"Miss, perhaps I should go after Miss Mengyao, I'm worried something might happen to her!"
"Yes, you go!" Lin Wanqing nodded and responded indifferently.
"Alright!" Wu Kun, relieved, hurriedly pushed the door open and exited the interview room.
Now, only Chen Feng and Lin Wanqing remained in the room.
"I'm sorry, my sister is still young, so she's having trouble accepting this reality. Please don't take it to heart!"
Lin Wanqing walked elegantly over to Chen Feng, apologetically looking at him.
After learning Chen Feng's identity, her attitude and tone towards him had clearly improved significantly.
"It's alright. I was quite startled myself, so I can understand how she feels right now," Chen Feng said, waving his hand nonchalantly.
"That's good to hear. Don't worry, I'll take care of persuading Mengyao. As for you, just try your best. I believe you'll get along very well in the future!" Lin Wanqing said with a slight smile.
"Okay... I'll try my best," Chen Feng said with a wry smile, nodding his head.
"You must put in effort, obtaining Mengyao's affection won't be easy. But don't worry, I'll help you," Lin Wanqing said, still smiling.
"Help me?" Chen Feng paused, puzzled.
"Yes, I'll arrange for you to enroll in the same school as Yaoyao, so you would be classmates. That way, you'll see each other every day, and over time, as feelings develop, everything else will become much easier!" Lin Wanqing nodded, explaining.
"To... to attend school!" Chen Feng shuddered at those words.
He hated schooling, which was why, before he was even of age, he had voluntarily requested to join the military for tough training.
He felt that was where a man truly belonged.
What Chen Feng hadn't expected was that, after being away from school for so long, he would have to return, not for the sake of studying, but for the sake of pursuing a girl.
The thought left Chen Feng utterly speechless.
However, in order to complete the mission assigned by his grandfather as soon as possible, Chen Feng had no choice but to agree.
"Fine, I'll leave everything to your arrangement; I'll follow your lead!" Chen Feng said, somewhat helplessly nodding his head.
"Alright! I have a contract to sign shortly. Once that's done, I'll take care of your arrangements; remember to give me your address later, so I can pick you up tomorrow morning and take you to the school for enrollment!"
Lin Wanqing nodded, still smiling.
"Forget the address. I don't have a stable place to live right now. I'll come to the company at seven tomorrow morning; you can take me from there," Chen Feng thought for a moment and said.
"That's fine then; let's meet here tomorrow at seven!" Lin Wanqing agreed.
"Alright, see you at seven tomorrow morning!"
After finishing, Chen Feng bid farewell to Lin Wanqing and then turned to leave the interview room.
Watching Chen Feng's retreating figure, Lin Wanqing's gaze filled with a complex expression, and she murmured to herself,
"Father, can the marriage you've arranged for Yaoyao truly save her?"
