Lin Mei's heart burned even more fiercely at this moment.
She had thought she could help Lu Feng out of his predicament today, but now it seemed she had no chance at all.
Today was over, and only one day remained until the deadline.
At this moment, Lin Hai emerged from the restaurant. Instead of returning to his own room, he drove back to his home.
The woman had seen this look of excitement on Lin Hai's face for the second time.
She had seen this look of excitement frequently when she first followed Lin Hai, during his career's peak.
In recent years, such an expression from Lin Hai had been exceptionally rare.
Thus, the woman couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you still so happy today?"
Lin Hai no longer concealed anything.
"To be honest, that Lu Feng kid is definitely going to fall this time."
Lin Hai recounted Lin Mei's actions from that morning.
"If Lu Feng weren't truly in a difficult situation, my sister would never have done this. It's just a pity she didn't realize I was following behind. Otherwise, Lin Mei might have actually exploited the loophole."
Upon hearing this, the last trace of anxiety on the woman's face vanished as if swept away by a strong gust of wind, leaving not a shred behind.
"Very good. With Lu Feng gone, a mere Lin Feng is nothing to fear!"
The corner of the woman's mouth curved slightly upwards.
"Lin Hai, you rest for a while. I'll make you a cup of tea!"
"Thank you, wife!"
Lin Hai was already in high spirits, and with his wife personally making tea, he laughed heartily.
However, the moment the woman turned away.
The smile on her face lessened slightly.
And a hint of malevolence appeared on her face.
Inside the Lin family's villa.
Lin Mei did not stay in her room for long after returning. She immediately called Liu He.
This matter was becoming increasingly complicated.
However, as long as she was alive and had a breath left, she would never allow Lu Feng to suffer such injustice.
Lu Feng had indeed done something wrong this time.
But his original intention was for the good of the Lin family.
It wasn't because Lin Mei had special feelings for Lu Feng that she showed this emotional bias towards him.
It was because Lu Feng was indeed like that.
Since that was the case,
If Lin Hai couldn't be relied upon, and if Lin Dong was also like this towards Lu Feng.
Then could the old Lin family still be considered a family that repaid kindness?
Lin Mei had no intention of giving up just yet.
Although this attempt failed,
She still wanted to obtain more clues from Liu He to spark her inspiration.
Thinking of this, Lin Mei brightened her voice as she spoke into the phone.
"Oh, Miss Lin, you've been contacting me quite frequently lately." Liu He, recognizing Lin Mei's voice, couldn't help but joke.
At this moment, Lin Mei was in no mood for jokes.
"I messed up today." Lin Mei stated everything, without any hesitation.
"What? Messed up." Liu He's expression turned grim upon hearing this, but inwardly, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Because his goal, and the goal of those above him, was to make Lu Feng suffer a major setback.
Ultimately, to make the Lin family lose this difficult opponent.
However, verbally, Liu He apologized somewhat.
"What happened? Is your father too suspicious? He doesn't believe these clues and evidence I provided?"
"That's not it!"
At this point, Lin Mei had little composure left; she was in a state of desperate improvisation.
On the phone, Lin Mei explained in detail what had happened that day.
"Is that so? In that case, the blame for this matter ultimately falls on your second brother. It has nothing to do with me."
Liu He completely absolved himself of any responsibility.
Lin Mei had no intention of blaming Liu He.
"You don't need to tell me that. What I want to know now is if you have any more similar information on your end?"
Even if Liu He knew, he wouldn't continue to speak.
However, as long as things hadn't reached a point of no return.
Liu He decided to leave a sliver of room for now.
"You know this. I also get my information through a network. Obtaining information requires not only people but also time. How can I get this kind of information for you in an instant?"
Since Liu He wasn't speaking, and the mouth was his, she had no recourse.
After a pause, she could only say quietly.
"Then, if you get any news, you must tell me immediately."
"Alright. Considering our past relationship, I definitely won't harm you."
After Liu He said this, he hung up the phone.
Lin Mei looked dejected. Although she was extremely unwilling, she could only accept it as things stood.
At present, Lin Mei had many things she wanted to do, but they were all jumbled, and she couldn't find any definite method. She didn't know what to do.
Should I call Lu Feng?
This thought suddenly crossed Lin Mei's mind. But the moment she prepared to pick up her phone, the thought changed instantly.
Lin Mei wasn't afraid of anything.
She was worried about what she would hear if she called.
Hearing Lu Feng's confident words.
Lin Mei was very afraid of hearing them.
Confidence was a good thing, but one had to distinguish between the situation and circumstances.
Blind confidence could lead to arrogance.
Thinking of this, Lin Mei put down her phone.
Lying on the bed, Lin Mei was extremely displeased.
It felt as if countless silver needles had grown on the headboard, constantly pricking her body.
After lying on the bed for about ten minutes.
Lin Mei's phone rang.
Who is it? Calling at this time, it's really annoying.
Lin Mei impatiently got up from the bed and answered the phone.
The caller ID surprised her somewhat.
The name displayed on the caller ID was Lu Feng.
Could it be that Lu Feng had also encountered trouble?
Thinking this, her heart leaped into her throat in an instant.
Lin Mei answered the phone and asked, "Lu Feng, what's wrong?"
Her voice was filled with concern.
Hearing Lin Mei's voice, Lu Feng was startled.
Wasn't Lin Mei fine in her own villa? Why was she like this?
So Lu Feng hurriedly asked.
"Lin Mei, what's wrong with you?"
Before he could finish, Lin Mei preempted him.
"Lu Feng, what do you want me for? Do you want me to beg my dad again?"
Hearing this, Lu Feng finally understood why Lin Mei had such an expression.
*Pfft!*
Lu Feng almost burst out laughing into the phone.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing?" Hearing the suppressed laughter that was so out of place, Lin Mei's heart instantly ignited with an irrepressible anger.
Lu Feng wasn't crazy.
"Thank you for your concern. But that's not necessary. I'm going to find your dad later."
"Wait, what did you say?"
Lin Mei's mind went blank, as if struck by lightning. For a moment, her blank mind was filled with countless question marks, bubbling up like bubbles in boiling water.
Seeing this, Lu Feng spoke each word very clearly.
"I said I have something to do and I'm going to find your dad!"
"Going to find my dad?"
