Lin Dong sat back in his chair, his expression calm. "Do as you please."
Compared to before, the enthusiasm in his words had clearly cooled considerably.
Sensing this, Lin Mei immediately asked in a low voice after Lu Feng had walked away.
"Dad, do you suspect Lu Feng?"
"I suspect him?" Lin Dong denied it immediately before Lin Mei could finish.
Lin Dong was well aware of the current relationship between his daughter and Lu Feng.
As an elder, he had to find a balance between his daughter, his future son-in-law, and the business before him.
He wouldn't be so short-sighted as to lose the greater for the lesser.
Although Lu Feng had indeed displeased him this time, it wasn't to the point of a complete breakdown in their relationship.
That Lu Feng fellow did have some capabilities.
Seeing that Lin Mei remained silent, Lin Dong continued in a gentle tone, "Lin Mei, I have my plans for this matter. You should persuade Lu Feng to stop worrying about it. I have my own arrangements. Perhaps Lu Feng will think that I, Lin Dong, am deliberately neglecting him. You go and explain to him that I, Lin Dong, am not the kind of person to burn bridges after crossing them. Understand?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mei's hanging heart finally settled a little.
Nodding with certainty, she was about to get up.
But Lin Dong's words stopped her again. "However, I must remind you, it's fine if Lu Feng makes a fuss here. But if this matter escalates to the group level, don't blame me for turning hostile! In the next day or two, I'll be signing the contract with Zhou Ge Group. You keep a close eye on that boy then, and make sure he doesn't come."
He sighed deeply as he spoke.
"I've seen it clearly now. That boy is not only stubborn but also has a personal vendetta with Tang Shengtang. I'm afraid something might happen."
"But Dad!" Lin Mei intended to continue explaining, and also to mention what Lin Feng had investigated.
At this point, there was nothing left to hide.
What if Lu Feng was right? Then after the day after tomorrow, it would truly be too late to intervene.
Although she wasn't sure why, Lin Mei felt, with her simple intuition, that Tang Shengtang was definitely not a good person.
But her small concern was quickly noticed by Lin Dong.
"Lin Mei, I must remind you, people, especially those in the business world, should never judge based on external, intuitive feelings, or you'll suffer greatly."
The very words she was about to say were spoken by Lin Dong, and they rendered her speechless. What else could Lin Mei say? For now, she could only wait for Lu Feng to return.
Lu Feng wasn't going to the restroom.
In this world, where could such a coincidence be found?
Hurrying out from near the swimming pool, Lu Feng quickly found a secluded, deserted corner.
Immediately, he dialed Lin Feng's number.
What was going on with this Lin Feng? Why, when the two accounts had such vastly different data, could he still say it was correct? Wasn't he deliberately trying to trap him?
Lu Feng had never treated Lin Feng this way, and he even considered him one of his own.
As he was thinking, the call was answered, and Lin Feng's familiar voice entered Lu Feng's ears.
"What's wrong?" Hearing that it was Lu Feng, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask. At the same time, a hint of uncontrollable excitement flickered in his voice.
"By the way, have you spoken to my dad? What did he say?"
Lin Feng thought Lu Feng was calling to deliver good news, but soon, he heard Lu Feng's extremely displeased reprimand.
"Lin Feng, how did you investigate? All that data is wrong!"
What?
Lin Feng was stunned. For a moment, he thought his ears were playing tricks on him. That data was all checked by his trusted confidants.
Those people had followed him for seven or eight years; they wouldn't deceive him on such a small matter.
Lin Feng felt as if he had been pierced by a steel bar.
"That's impossible," Lin Feng stated with certainty. "That data can't be wrong."
Even if his confidants didn't believe it, he should trust his own eyes.
Precisely because he was worried about his subordinates' incompetence, he had personally verified a considerable portion of the data.
If it could be wrong, he would change his surname immediately.
Right or wrong, mere words were useless.
Lu Feng didn't intend to dwell on this point with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, without further ado, help me check this again! I've sent you an image!"
Hearing this voice, realizing that Lu Feng wasn't being unreasonable and was likely telling the truth, Lin Feng paused abruptly.
Then, he said, "Alright, I'll take a look."
Although there were no harsh words, the last few words conveyed a very clear meaning.
Now that I, Lin Feng, am checking, if there are no problems with the data, don't blame me for turning hostile.
After speaking, Lin Feng immediately hung up the phone.
However, Lu Feng didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited anxiously in place.
Before returning to Lin Dong, he had to figure out what was going on. Otherwise, how could he speak to Lin Dong next?
Given the gravity of the matter, Lin Feng naturally dared not delay for a moment. He knew what was more important.
After hanging up, Lin Feng immediately called for people and made arrangements. After a series of tight deployments.
In a short while, he picked up the phone again. Although it had been less than five minutes in total, it felt as long as a year to Lu Feng at this moment.
However, this time, before Lu Feng could speak, Lin Feng beat him to it.
As the number one successor of the Lin family, Lin Feng naturally understood what it meant to be sensible. Moreover, based on his discovery just now, it was likely not a minor issue.
As a result, Lin Feng got straight to the point, "Lu Feng, it seems we've both been deceived."
What was he talking about?
Lu Feng, hearing this nonsensical statement, became even more anxious. At this moment, he directly asked Lin Feng, "I just want to ask, is that data correct or wrong?"
Lin Feng didn't know how to express what he had seen for a moment.
After a brief pause and organizing his thoughts, he truthfully said, "The previous data was correct, but the current data is also correct."
"What?" Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.
Could such a strange thing exist in this world?
"Are you sure you're not fooling me?"
"Yes," Lin Feng's words were firm.
Hearing this, Lu Feng's mind was about to explode, but Lin Feng didn't seem to be talking nonsense.
Lu Feng's mind raced.
Suddenly, he thought of something. At the same time, his previously chaotic mind suddenly became clear.
Although his mind cleared up, Lu Feng's heart sank to freezing point at this moment.
Could it be?
