Lin Mei, however, thought so.
Lu Feng’s mistake this time could entirely be blamed on Lin Hai.
Lin Hai had always been a stumbling block.
Many times, it was Lin Hai who obstructed Lu Feng’s progress.
It wouldn't make much difference to add one more instance.
And now, Lin Mei wanted to extract more information from Liu He’s mouth.
So she could persuade Lin Dong.
As a result, Lin Mei looked up and checked the time again.
On the wall, the hands of the clock had finally, with great difficulty, reached that particular spot.
Lin Mei, already impatient, picked up her phone.
“Hello, is this Liu He?”
Lin Mei said, covering her phone with one hand, afraid of being overheard.
The call connected, and a voice came from the other end: “Yes.”
After a brief pause, Liu He realized the call was from Lin Mei.
Liu He on the other end of the phone sounded very surprised.
However, after a moment of surprise, his words were filled with barely concealed excitement.
“It’s Miss Lin. I didn’t expect Miss Lin to be so punctual.”
Liu He’s heart was even more thrilled.
With Lin Mei firmly in his grasp, Lu Feng would be no problem.
Before Lin Mei could speak, Liu He continued.
“Alright, Miss Lin, I don’t think you called me just because you missed me. So, what do you want to hear this time?”
This Liu He was quite perceptive.
Since that was the case, she wouldn’t be polite.
“Liu He, didn’t you say you knew about Lin Hai? Tell me everything you know.”
Lin Mei paused slightly, now increasing her leverage.
“Liu He, you should know, if it weren’t for Lu Feng, you probably wouldn’t have been able to connect with Zhang Yun.”
“I know! Miss Lin, you don’t need to tell me that!”
Liu He’s voice was firm.
“Since Miss Lin wants to hear, I don’t mind telling you.”
Liu He cleared his throat, his words about to pour out like a flood.
But just as they were about to break through the dam,
Liu He suddenly stopped.
“However, Miss Lin, it’s fine for me to say these things, but you have to agree to one condition.”
Being able to extricate Lu Feng from unnecessary trouble.
It was a good thing for her, and also for Lu Feng.
Lin Mei was not afraid of conditions.
“Go ahead, what condition?”
Sensing the hidden apprehension in Lin Mei’s voice, Liu He chuckled.
“Miss Lin, although it’s a condition, rest assured. You’ve helped me a great deal, and I’m not someone who burns bridges. The condition is simple: I want to meet Lu Feng alone in a few days.”
He still said to rest assured.
How could she rest assured? Who knew what Liu He would say when he met Lu Feng.
Thinking this, Lin Mei immediately refused: “No.”
Liu He did not give up.
“Don’t worry, I won’t say anything about your business with me. Besides, with Lu Feng’s intelligence, I think he probably figured some things out last time. He just didn’t want to say anything. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can be present then. After all, Mr. Lu and I just have some business to discuss! Business matters.”
Although she didn’t know what scheme Liu He was up to.
However, at this moment, Lin Mei was eager to obtain evidence and clues that were unfavorable to Lin Hai and favorable to herself.
Her mind raced.
As long as she was there, Liu He wouldn’t dare to go too far.
With this thought, Lin Mei took a deep breath and then nodded resolutely.
“Alright, I agree!”
“Very good, straightforward!” Liu He said, finally exhaling the words he had been holding back.
“Lin Hai’s seeking out Zhang Yun wasn’t just this time. Before this, he had been entangled with Zhang Yun multiple times!”
Liu He revealed all the secrets he knew about Lin Hai’s illicit dealings with Zhang Yun.
Lin Mei took out a notebook and pen from the side.
She began to record frantically.
As the pen scribbled on the notebook,
Lin Mei’s previously stiff lips curved slightly upwards.
It seemed Lu Feng was safe.
After listening, Lin Mei said, “I will definitely arrange for you to meet Lu Feng then.”
Hanging up the phone, Lin Mei let out a long sigh.
If it weren’t for the late hour, and Lin Dong already asleep.
She wished she could tell Lin Dong everything right now.
After all, Lin Dong was currently in a fit of anger.
The longer it took, the more his temper would flare.
This was not a good thing.
Lin Mei pondered the words she would say to Lin Dong.
The night finally passed.
She found it hard to say whether she had slept at all that night.
Although Lin Mei’s eyes had been tightly shut all night.
Even with her eyes closed, various scenarios of her meeting Lin Dong,
and Lin Dong’s possible reactions, kept flashing before her eyes.
After finally devising a plan that was highly satisfactory in her mind.
Lin Mei gradually felt a slight heat on her closed eyelids.
She opened her eyes. In the eastern sky,
several streaks of bright white had appeared.
She got up and washed herself.
Lin Mei ate breakfast downstairs and then immediately went to a small room near Lin Dong’s living quarters to wait for him.
“Miss Lin, what’s wrong today?”
The housekeeper saw her, his face filled with deep confusion.
When had this girl ever come here so early?
It seemed yesterday’s events had truly made her anxious.
Not only Lin Dong, but the housekeeper also showed great care towards Lin Mei within the Lin family.
Seeing this, the housekeeper slowly stepped forward.
“Miss Lin, the master will be waking up in a while. It’s only six in the morning. Miss Lin, why don’t you go back and rest? I’ll notify you the moment the master wakes up.”
Hearing this, Lin Mei looked up and saw the housekeeper. A slight smile touched her lips.
“Butler, thank you, but this time, I’ll wait here.”
Lin Mei’s mind was made up, and the housekeeper couldn’t persuade her further.
With a sigh, he paused for a moment, then turned and left.
Inside the living quarters.
Lin Dong woke up exceptionally early today.
Three days. One day had already passed.
However, there was still no news from Lu Feng.
“It seems this kid is finished!”
Honestly, Lin Dong had always thought highly of Lu Feng.
However, he alone could not represent the Lin family.
If this matter was indeed Lu Feng’s mistake, and he were to protect Lu Feng despite this mistake.
Then how could he explain himself to his two sons?
Not only his two sons, but the people below would also likely be gossiping.
As these extremely anxious thoughts churned in his mind,
the weariness that had been clinging to Lin Dong grew thinner and thinner.
Tossing and turning in bed, Lin Dong simply decided, “I’m not sleeping.”
“Someone!”
As his voice fell, two servants responsible for Lin Dong’s daily care immediately rushed over.
After a simple wash,
Lin Dong pushed open the door, intending to go downstairs for a quick meal.
However, the moment the door opened, a very familiar figure appeared outside.
“Lin Mei? So early, why are you here?”
Seeing her, Lin Dong’s eyes were instantly filled with confusion.
