A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character Chapter 407 -: Teacher and Student

Sister Ling offered a gentle smile as she observed Feng Jing's serious demeanor, lamenting, "What a shame. You're handsomer than him, yet your personality doesn't even measure up to half of his."

"Who are you referring to?" Feng Jing sensed that Sister Ling wouldn't speak so pointedly without a reason; there had to be some connection between her and the Feng family.

Sister Ling had no intention of withholding information. She revealed to Feng Jing, "Professor Feng was my teacher. Furthermore, I used to be quite fond of him."

"Professor Feng?" Yin Tao, having only recently encountered the Feng family, couldn't help but express her surprise. If her memory served correctly, the only person referred to as a professor was Feng Jing’s father, who was indeed a university lecturer.

"You were my father's student?" Feng Jing was also taken aback. His father was a professor at a renowned university in the capital. If Sister Ling had indeed graduated from that institution, she wouldn't merely be a tavern owner.

"That's right. I even pursued him back then," Sister Ling admitted, observing Feng Jing's darkening expression. She clarified with a smile, "However, Professor Feng is a man of great integrity and deeply loved your mother. No matter how I felt, he never gave me an opportunity."

Yin Tao scrutinized the woman who had nearly shattered Feng Jing's family, whispering to Jiang Xing, "How old is Sister Ling? If I recall, Brother Feng's father is already in his fifties."

Jiang Xing, stunned by the cascade of revelations, responded in a low voice to Yin Tao, "I don't know her exact age either. She should be around 40."

"Forty-one," Sister Ling replied casually. She looked at Yin Tao and Jiang Xing with a perplexed gaze and stated faintly, "I was in my early twenties then. Professor Feng was only in his thirties. Is it so wrong for me to have liked him?"

Yin Tao and Jiang Xing shook their heads in unison. Feng Jing, meanwhile, maintained a stony expression. "He was already married at that time."

"I know, which is why I didn't act irrationally," Sister Ling continued. She still felt a twinge of regret regarding Feng Jing's personality. After all, Professor Feng was such a gentle soul, yet his son possessed such a cold disposition. Feng Jing was truly quite unlikable.

"And not long after, something happened in your family. Professor Feng also took a significant break from his work." Sister Ling recalled the incident involving Professor Feng's son and felt a sense of unease. When she had visited Professor Feng with her classmates, she noticed how much more haggard he looked.

"Is your mother recovering well?"

Sister Ling understood that Feng Jing's mother suffered from mental instability. If she had completely abandoned Professor Feng, it would have been due to the events concerning Feng Jing's mother. No matter how desperate Sister Ling had been for love, she couldn't bring herself to selfishly inflict pain on another woman.

"She's fine now. It's because of my father that you've placed so much trust in me." While Feng Jing harbored no animosity towards Sister Ling, he couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort, knowing she had once harbored feelings for his father.

"To some extent, yes. I believe Professor Feng's son cannot be a bad person. I recall Professor Feng mentioning in class that to achieve anything significant, maintaining one's temperament is paramount. A true gentleman would never resort to unscrupulous methods to attain his objectives."

Feng Jing felt these words echoed his father's sentiments. It was precisely why his grandfather had never held grand expectations for him. A person incapable of being ruthless towards rivals wouldn't be fit to inherit the family business.

"So, to avoid betraying my trust, how do you intend to assist Jingjing?" Sister Ling's primary concern was the current predicament. As long as the individual seeking to harm Liu Jing remained at large, she couldn't possibly find peace.

"We should focus on the USB drive immediately. The more desperately they seek it, the more it signifies the critical information it holds."

A plan was already forming in Feng Jing's mind. He instructed Liu Jing, "It's best if you remain indoors and refrain from using your phone or contacting your family."

"Don't worry. I have no one I need to contact. My father only cares about me when he needs money. He would likely be more than willing to trade my life for a substantial sum."

Liu Jing wiped away her tears with a helpless gesture. If not for her genuine fear, death might have seemed like a viable option.

"However, if even the numerous individuals in the black market couldn't locate the USB drive, can you truly find it?" Sister Ling acknowledged that recovering the USB drive was the optimal solution but also recognized its immense difficulty in practice.
