While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Shen Anmin calling at this time must mean something's wrong.

"Uncle? Why are you calling me so early?"

Lin Feng answered the phone and asked.

"Have you not returned from Qingyuan yet?"

Shen Anmin's voice came through, carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Not yet, I'm heading back soon. I should arrive around noon. Has something happened?"

Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

"It's too late, I have to go back to Kyoto soon! I was planning to see you one last time before I left, but since you're not back yet, never mind."

Shen Anmin laughed and cursed.

"So suddenly? You've only been here a short time, haven't you?"

Lin Feng asked, puzzled, "Shen Anmin has only been in Minghai for two or three days, why is he suddenly going back?"

"Yes, someone in Kyoto knows you're still alive. You should know that by now, right?"

Shen Anmin pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I know. Yun Muxin told me last night that someone posted me and Qingyao on an assassin's website."

Lin Feng didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"That little girl from the Yun family is still on your side! Since you already know, I won't say any more. I came to Minghai to see you and Qingyao, but now that people in Kyoto know you're still alive, there's no need for me to stay in Minghai any longer. Many high-ranking officials in Kyoto know you're alive, and many are getting restless. Your grandfather told me that he was called to a meeting late last night about how to deal with you! At this critical juncture, I have to go back and stand up for you."

Shen Anmin sighed and said.

"Uncle, what's their attitude now?"

Lin Feng's expression also turned serious.

"Hmph, what attitude can you possibly have? Some people want to protect you, while others are suggesting that you should be held accountable!"

Shen Anmin snorted, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction: "Over the years, you've risked your life for China, making countless contributions. I truly don't know what those idiots are thinking, actually wanting to hold you accountable!"

"Uncle, this is not surprising. I was on a mission back then. Although the intelligence was leaked, I survived and returned to the country while holding a public office. However, I did not go back to report and disappeared for two years. If we really investigate, I do bear some responsibility."

Lin Feng was not surprised by this, and smiled cryptically.

"It's good that you understand, kid. So, at this crucial juncture, it's about how the core high-ranking people treat your situation! This will determine whether you can return to Kyoto openly in the future! If they're going to hold you accountable, you should understand that returning to the country without permission and hiding for two years is a serious matter, and in severe cases, it could lead to a military court!"

Shen Anmin sighed.

"I don't care. I can go to a military court and take the corresponding punishment for what I did secretly two years ago! But there is one condition: you must give me an explanation for what happened two years ago. Otherwise, those people in Kyoto should know my personality."

Lin Feng's expression remained calm, but his words carried a hint of coldness.

"Don't be impulsive, kid!"

Shen Anmin on the other end of the phone was startled.

"Uncle, I wasn't acting impulsively."

Lin Feng spoke slowly, his expression serious as he said softly, "Uncle, you should understand that the fierce and valiant warrior who fought for the country two years ago is dead. Now, the one alive is Lin Feng, Lin Feng seeking justice for his comrades from two years ago. If they think they can use their power to pressure me and make me a docile sheep, then they can try."

Shen Anmin on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Anmin's complex sigh came from inside.

"Xiao Feng, you can just tell these things to your uncle, but please don't say them in front of those people in Kyoto. You can be indifferent to everything, including us, your family, and only focus on revenge. But your parents, your grandfather, and I can't be indifferent to you! Do you know how we survived the two years you disappeared?"

Shen Anmin's words were tinged with bitterness.

Lin Feng's body trembled violently, his eyes instantly reddening. He hissed, "I know! Uncle, I know what you mean. You care about me, you worry about me, you are my closest relatives! But what about my comrades? Don't they have their own families? You can still see me, but what about the families of my comrades? Aren't they parents and elders too? How can I face their parents and elders? If we really die at the hands of powerful enemies on the battlefield, I, Lin Feng, and my comrades will have no complaints. But they cannot die at the hands of the people they risked their lives to protect!"

By the end, Lin Feng's voice had turned into a roar, his eyes red as he said, "This is a debt, a debt owed by those people in Kyoto. I don't care who they are or who they are. Since they owe a debt, they should be prepared to come knocking on their door to collect!"

Shen Anmin paused, then sighed, "Don't worry, the matter from two years ago will be investigated thoroughly! But for now, we still need to give you an identity. Your maternal grandfather's intention is that, if possible, he will do his best to help you regain the position you held two years ago."

"No need, we can't go back, Uncle. The Falcon Dragon ceased to exist two years ago."

Lin Feng shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Uncle, tell Grandpa not to fight for anything for me. Compared to that, I'd rather know if those who want to hold me accountable were involved in the intelligence leak two years ago."

"It's hard to say. If those people were really involved in the intelligence leak two years ago, they wouldn't be jumping out so quickly. Calm down! According to your grandfather, those who wanted to hold you accountable last night didn't intend to push you to the brink. They were most likely just raising the issue from a business perspective, asking whether you should be held accountable for your unauthorized return to the country and hiding for the past two years. The specific handling is still under discussion, and no final conclusion has been reached. However, the old man in the compound doesn't seem to intend to pursue the matter. So, judging from the current trend, you'll probably be recalled to Kyoto soon!"

Shen Anmin spoke seriously, seemingly afraid that Lin Feng would resist. He continued, "No matter what, you went out as Xiaolong back then. In the two years, there was no official document to release you from your position or to recall you under official business. That's reasonable, so be prepared. Similarly, if the higher-ups don't intend to hold you accountable for your unauthorized hiding for the past two years, or even let you return to your original position, then those who secretly harmed you back then will definitely not sit still. They will probably use even more methods to deal with you, just like the matter of you and Qingyao being listed on the assassin's website."

"That's perfect! If they don't move an inch, it'll be really hard for me to find any trace of them."

Lin Feng said in a cold voice.

"Yes, hurry up and recover your strength, so that your grandfather, your parents, and I can feel more at ease! Also, don't worry about the Su family. I've already spoken to your grandfather about the Su family. Su Tianyang was just released yesterday. Once he contacts people in Kyoto, your grandfather, your parents, and I will keep an eye on him immediately."

Shen Anmin spoke with a complicated tone, then, as if remembering something, added, "By the way, it's probably not just those in Kyoto who have noticed that you're alive; many forces overseas have likely noticed it as well."

"Overseas?"

Lin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, his face full of surprise.

"Hmm, you don't know yet, do you? On that underground dark web overseas, they've started betting on whether you're still alive. They're offering ten times the odds on you being alive. It's impossible for such a betting platform to suddenly appear unless someone has realized you're still alive!"

Shen Anmin said in a solemn tone.
