338: The grace of being reborn

Wang Ziyan said as she walked forward, "Zifeng, having someone to accompany you on a trip is so much better than traveling alone.

Not only is there someone to take care of you, which gives a sense of security, but you also have a companion to talk to at all times.

It's a pity you have to report to the Party School tomorrow, and the rest of the trip will be just me again."

"You need to be more careful when you're alone and heighten your safety awareness.

How long do you plan to stay in the Capital? Where are you planning to go tomorrow?"

Faced with Wang Ziyan's words, he didn't quite know how to respond, so he gave an irrelevant answer.

"I plan to stay in the Capital for a week. Tomorrow, I'm going to climb the Great Wall."

Wang Ziyan shared her plan, and the two of them continued talking as they walked toward the main entrance of the scenic area.

Just then, a mess of footsteps sounded behind them. They instinctively stepped aside to make way for those behind them.

They thought some tourists had an emergency and were in a hurry to leave the scenic area!

To their surprise, the footsteps stopped right beside them, followed by the rapid breathing of two women.

As the two looked at each other in confusion, Lin Zifeng's hand was suddenly gripped tightly by a pair of delicate hands.

Lin Zifeng was stunned. Looking at the two familiar-looking faces before him, he asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you grabbing my hand?"

Lin Zifeng tried to pull his hand away as he spoke, but he didn't use full force for fear of hurting her, so he couldn't break free yet.

Wang Ziyan looked at the two unfamiliar faces. Seeing Li Yanran holding Lin Zifeng's hand tightly and refusing to let go, she couldn't help but think that these two women were both absolute beauties!

However, the girl holding Zifeng was a cut above. If that girl was a perfect hundred, the woman beside her could only be a ninety.

The hundred-point girl possessed a unique, innate temperament.

Why was this girl grabbing Zifeng's hand? And why did she have such an excited expression?

Could this be some romantic debt Zifeng owed? But looking at Zifeng's expression, he didn't seem to recognize her. What on earth was going on!

While Wang Ziyan's mind was racing with confusion, Li Yanran spoke up: "Benefactor, don't you remember us?

Two years ago on the South China Expressway, our car crashed. You saved the four of us from the vehicle with your bare hands.

If you hadn't saved us back then, we would have been corpses long ago. How could we be enjoying the sunshine and this beautiful life now?"

"Yanran is right. Benefactor, we've been looking for you for two whole years, and we finally happened to run into you here.

You saved the lives of the four of us and rescued our two families. This life-saving grace is like the grace of rebirth; we haven't dared to forget it for a single day.

Because we couldn't find you, it became a weight on our hearts."

Zhao Rulin also spoke up hurriedly.

Hearing what the two said, Wang Ziyan finally understood what was happening. She couldn't help but think, so Zifeng has such heroic deeds in his past!

A man who risked himself to save four lives and then walked away without leaving a name.

If such a rescue were reported to the relevant departments, being recognized for bravery and receiving awards would be a certainty.

Lin Zifeng also recalled the car accident from two years ago and realized who these two women were.

It was just that the two women had looked very disheveled back then because of the accident, whereas now they were dressed very exquisitely, which was why Lin Zifeng hadn't recognized them immediately.

"I remember your name is Li Yanran, right?"

Seeing her nod, Lin Zifeng spoke again, "Ms. Li, could you please let go of me before we talk? I'm not going to run away."

Li Yanran finally snapped out of it and hurriedly apologized. While letting go of his hand, she pointedly looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just too excited."

"Ms. Li, there's no need for that. I'm just Zifeng's friend."

Wang Ziyan knew the other woman had also misunderstood their relationship, which was why she said that.

But she kept one thought to herself: although she wasn't his girlfriend, the man did have a wife and child.

Hearing Wang Ziyan's words, Li Yanran's eyes instantly lit up, and she generously extended her hand to Wang Ziyan.

"Hello, I'm Li Yanran. It's a pleasure to meet you."

As Wang Ziyan shook her hand, she said, "Hello, I'm Wang Ziyan. Since we both have the character 'Yan' in our names, it's quite a coincidence. I'm very happy to meet you too."

After they were introduced, Zhao Rulin spoke up, "This isn't the place to talk, and it's almost dinner time. Let's find another place and chat over a meal!"

"Benefactor, what do you think?"

Li Yanran asked Lin Zifeng's opinion somewhat cautiously.

"Saving you back then was just a small effort; I never expected any reward.

Could you please stop calling me 'Benefactor' every other word? What era is this? It sounds strange to me."

Noticing the strange looks from passing tourists, Lin Zifeng spoke in a low voice.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. Just like Ziyan, we'll call you Zifeng!"

Li Yanran said quickly.

Lin Zifeng nodded and spoke again, "Since we happened to meet again today and you're being so sincere, why don't you treat me to dinner tonight, and we'll consider the matter settled?"

Lin Zifeng saw the sincerity of the two women and knew that if he didn't let them show their gratitude, they wouldn't let him leave today.

Even if he insisted on leaving, they would find a way to come looking for him again later.

That was why he said those words.

The two women were very happy that Lin Zifeng agreed, and the four of them walked out of the scenic area together.

The two women asked Lin Zifeng and Wang Ziyan to wait by the roadside while they went to the nearby parking lot to get their car.

"Yanran, we finally found our life-saver. Let's notify Zhongqiang and Xiao Liang!

Also, my uncle and aunt, as well as my parents-in-law, all want to thank Zifeng in person. Let's notify them too and host a banquet for Zifeng tonight!"

Taking the chance while getting the car, Zhao Rulin whispered to Li Yanran.

"No, Sister Rulin," Li Yanran refused without a second thought.

"Why is that, Yanran?" Zhao Rulin asked, very puzzled.

"Can't you see, Sister Rulin? Zifeng is the type who does good deeds without seeking reward. If we hadn't shown enough sincerity, he wouldn't even have let us buy him a meal.

If we call all our family members over, it might backfire.

Didn't I just exchange phone numbers and WeChat with Zifeng? Are you afraid there won't be other opportunities later?"

Li Yanran explained her reasoning.
