An hour passed quietly.
The dishes on the table, except for what Lü Feng had eaten, remained largely untouched.
It was only natural.
After all, none of them were in the mood to eat.
Although Lin Mei was hungry, she couldn't swallow anything.
She raised her head and glanced at the clock hanging diagonally opposite the dining room.
The time Lü Feng had mentioned was drawing closer.
Yet, Lin Hai remained remarkably calm.
Seeing this, Lin Mei's brows furrowed tightly.
Lin Mei knew Lin Hai too well.
This matter was extremely important to him, carrying a weight similar to what she felt in her heart.
Even compared to herself, he felt it even more strongly.
Therefore, it was natural that he would have left no informants at the Taitung Group.
The expression he wore now indicated that his informants had not received any news.
"This is bad, this is bad." Realizing this, Lin Mei quickly looked towards Lin Feng.
Her brows deepened further.
Lin Feng's heart was pounding erratically.
Lin Feng had also placed many informants within the Taitung Group.
According to Lü Feng, news should have arrived by now.
However, his phone, though set to speaker mode and fully charged, showed no reaction.
This kid was dead today!
He had always said not to let him boast.
Lin Feng was now reluctant to even look at Lin Dong.
It was irritating.
Although Lin Dong sat in his seat without making a scene,
Lin Feng knew him well.
Lin Dong's anger was like a volcano, brewing within him.
He could imagine how Lin Dong would react.
In his rage,
and having been outmaneuvered by Lü Feng, Lin Dong's anger would naturally increase tenfold, or even a hundredfold.
Once it erupted, let alone Lü Feng,
it was questionable whether he could even calm him down.
The surroundings were deathly silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
By the table, Lin Hai and Lin Feng were lost in their own thoughts.
Suddenly, the deathly silence was broken by a voice.
"Lin Feng, is it time yet?"
Hearing Lin Dong's voice, Lin Feng snapped out of his daze.
"Oh, Dad!"
He quickly looked up at the wall clock.
"Not yet, there are still the last ten minutes."
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Lin Hai's voice sounded again.
"Ten minutes, it won't change the overall situation."
"Even if I genuinely wanted to help Lü Feng this time, I couldn't."
He said, letting out a long sigh.
He put on an act of having been worried about Lü Feng for a long time.
His face displayed a touch of feigned disappointment and dejection.
Lin Mei felt a wave of nausea seeing this.
What kind of dejection was this?
Like a weasel paying respects to a chicken, he had no good intentions at all.
Lin Mei muttered to herself.
"You don't need to worry about it."
The more this person spoke, the more he was like a troublemaker, stirring up an already complicated situation.
Lin Hai was in high spirits and couldn't stop himself.
"Lin Mei, what's wrong with all of you? I may have done many things that wronged you in the past, but you can't look at me with the same unchanging perspective. People change."
Lin Hai rambled on.
"I am worried about Mr. Lü. What do you understand?"
Lin Hai's expression became increasingly disgusting.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lü Feng beside him.
"Am I right?"
Lü Feng put down his chopsticks and looked up, meeting Lin Hai's gaze.
"Brother Lin Hai is right. But Brother Lin Hai must remember what you just said."
Lin Hai's mind was completely consumed by excitement.
He patted his chest.
"I remember, of course I remember. I, Lin Hai, am not forgetful."
This kid couldn't even manage himself, yet he was saying this.
Shouldn't you be the one remembering?
Lin Hai smiled, but a hint of ruthlessness crept into his smile.
More than three minutes passed quietly.
The surroundings remained deathly silent.
"Lü Feng, are you even capable?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Mei leaned closer to Lü Feng and whispered.
Lü Feng maintained his previous attitude. "What's the rush? Aren't there still a few minutes left?"
This matter must have happened. However, Zhang Yun had not released the news.
So, it was just that everyone didn't know about it.
What could Lü Feng possibly worry about?
Once something happens, it exists.
Facts speak louder than any argument.
Lin Mei didn't know what else to say.
What was wrong with this kid? He was like a stone, hard and stinky.
Lin Mei's emotions grew increasingly agitated.
She wasn't the only one feeling agitated.
Seeing Lü Feng tidying his chopsticks, Lin Dong was furious.
Lü Feng's demeanor made him want to expel the young man from the Lin family immediately.
He checked the time; there was still a little time left.
Forcing down his anger, he quietly waited for the moment.
Lin Dong had previously held many hopes and expectations for Lü Feng.
However, Lin Dong detested anyone who overstepped his authority.
Not only that, but he also detested being lied to.
And this young man named Lü Feng had fallen prey to both these things within a single day.
No matter how outstanding this kid was,
even if all the talented people in the world were dead,
he would never forgive this kid.
With surging anger, time passed second by second.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.
A clear chime came from Lin Hai's watch.
Hearing the notification, Lin Hai suddenly came back to his senses.
Seeing that the time he had set matched the wall clock, Lin Hai couldn't help but smile.
"Lü Feng, you have nothing more to say, right? I want to help you, but I can't."
The time had arrived, and his informants still hadn't received any news.
This kid was clearly bragging, but this time he had bragged too much and couldn't handle it.
"Lü Feng, get up." Lin Dong's long-suppressed rage was now gushing upwards from his heart.
*Swish!*
Lü Feng stood up abruptly.
"Lü Feng, you have disappointed me greatly."
The last two words were about to erupt from the depths of his throat.
*Crash!*
Someone pushed the door open and entered.
Lin Dong turned his head.
Seeing the housekeeper rushing in,
his anger intensified. The housekeeper's actions were like adding fuel to the fire.
Lin Dong's anger, which was originally directed at Lü Feng, now fell upon the housekeeper.
"You're senile. Don't you see I'm busy?"
"I'm sorry, Master, Master."
The housekeeper repeatedly apologized and nodded. He clearly had something to say.
And he had to say it.
Before Lin Dong could speak, the housekeeper continued.
"Master, this matter is of great importance, and I must speak."
"What is of great importance?"
