Lin Mei had called to confirm when she returned.
"My dad just went out. He'll probably be back tomorrow."
"Then there's no rush. Call me when he's back! Alright, goodnight!"
Lu Feng's voice was deep and soft.
It was like a gentle breeze, scattering away the lingering unhappiness and anxiety from her day.
After hanging up, Lu Feng stood up and walked onto the balcony.
He took a deep breath, and all his senses instantly entered a state of temporary dormancy.
However, his mind did not stop.
Although he had decided to tackle the Taitung Group.
This was not a simple matter.
Currently, Lu Feng first needed to probe their depths.
He had already mapped out the Taitung Group's power distribution, its controllers, and the intricate, spiderweb-like relationships between them.
But this was far from enough.
Lu Feng still needed to obtain something from Lin Dong. While it might not be useful in the end,
and even if it were, it might not be applicable.
But since he had to go, he had to make preparations in all aspects beforehand.
After all, Lu Feng was a sensible person.
Preparation ensures success; lack of it leads to failure.
He would proceed to the next step after thoroughly understanding the Taitung Group's situation.
His mind whirred.
Lu Feng yawned a few times.
Even though it was just mental work,
it was known that mental exertion consumed a considerable amount of energy.
Moreover, he had had enough excitement with Lin Mei for one night.
Lu Feng returned to his room and quickly fell asleep.
Across the entire Dongnan City, the clamor on the streets gradually subsided.
The vast urban landscape was like a giant immersed in deep slumber.
As the dawn sunlight swept away the surrounding darkness, the giant slowly awoke from its sleep.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
Lu Feng woke up immediately to the sound of the bedside phone ringing.
"What is it?"
"My dad is back! He's resting now. I'll come pick you up in a bit!"
"Alright!"
After a night's rest, Lu Feng was now full of energy, his mind perfectly clear.
When Lin Mei's car arrived downstairs,
he had already mentally rehearsed how he would approach Lin Dong, what situations might arise at the Taitung Group, and how to deal with them, all deep within his mind.
In the Lin family's detached villa.
Lin Mei got out of the car.
The butler, as usual, immediately went to greet her.
"Butler, is my dad awake?"
The butler nodded, "Miss, the master has woken up."
"That's good!"
Lin Mei said, and with Lu Feng by her side, she strode directly towards the third floor.
But at that moment, a hint of worry appeared on the butler's usually calm face.
Noticing the unusual expression on the butler's face,
Lin Mei felt a sense of strangeness and asked, "What's wrong? Butler? Did something happen?"
The butler had been with the Lin family for a long time.
He was well aware of the personalities of everyone in the Lin family.
With Lin Mei bringing Lu Feng, there was bound to be trouble.
The butler hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Miss Lin, the master is currently very angry. You two had best be careful and say things that will make him happy!"
"Angry?"
Lin Mei's brows furrowed sharply. "Butler, what exactly happened to my dad?"
Upon hearing this, the old butler's face instantly showed difficulty. "This, this is something the master didn't want me to say. Miss Lin, I'll tell you quietly."
The old butler turned his head and lowered his voice.
Even with Lu Feng standing beside them, he could only catch a few scattered words.
However, these words already indicated the core issue.
"The master has been hitting a wall these past few days. Especially yesterday, the Taitung Group didn't even give him face! Because of this, the master is furious! So, Miss Lin, you two must not bring up the Taitung Group!"
"But?" Lin Mei's heart instantly sank upon hearing this.
She had brought Lu Feng here precisely to deal with this matter.
If they couldn't mention it, how could it be done?
Lin Mei's mind raced slightly, and she was about to speak.
But at that moment, Lu Feng interjected, speaking before Lin Mei.
"Old butler, please don't worry. We know what we're doing. We definitely won't upset Uncle Lin. Even if we mention the Taitung Group, we won't let Uncle Lin get upset."
These words hit the mark, directly addressing the old butler's concern.
"This gentleman is right. Miss Lin, then you may go."
With these words as assurance, the old butler's worried heart settled a little.
"Hey, Lu Feng, didn't you say you were looking for my dad?"
Lin Mei walked alongside Lu Feng, murmuring continuously.
Lu Feng did not say much.
"Don't worry, didn't I just say that even if we mention Taitung, I won't make your father angry?"
However, Lin Mei's face was still clouded with worry.
Lu Feng's concern made her instinctively grab Lu Feng's arm as they reached Lin Dong's door.
"Lu Feng, my dad is fine when he's happy, but when he gets angry, he's like a different person. Is it really okay?"
"It's fine!"
Since Lu Feng had come, he was prepared for everything.
Furthermore, Lin Dong was, after all, a member of the Lin family.
On the matter of the Taitung Group, fundamentally and ultimately, he was on the side of Lu Feng and Lin Mei.
Even if this person were to fly into a rage, there would at least be room for negotiation.
However, before Lu Feng could finish speaking.
Crash!
A sharp shattering sound echoed from deep within the room.
Following that, Lin Dong's undisguised angry scolding could be heard.
"What are you doing? It's so hot, do you want to scald me to death!"
"I'm sorry, Master!"
The servants lowered their heads completely, not daring to speak for a long time.
"Lu Feng, how about this afternoon, no, tomorrow!"
Lin Mei had lived in the Lin family for so long, she had witnessed the power of Lin Dong's temper.
Clearly, now was not the time to discuss matters.
Lin Mei looked at Lu Feng with eyes filled with indescribable anxiety.
"It's fine. Besides, Uncle Lin is in a bad mood right now. Isn't this a good opportunity for me to help your dad relax!"
"This!"
Although Lin Mei believed in Lu Feng's capabilities, she had never witnessed his ability to handle emotional matters.
After a brief hesitation, she shook her head.
"Let's forget about it!"
But less than a second after she said this.
