A wooden plank, as thick as a bowl, struck his face without deviation.
*Crack!*
His front teeth bore the full brunt of the impact.
They fell out along with a mouthful of bright red blood.
The wooden plank continued to move forward under the force of the impact.
Du He felt as if his face was about to be pierced by the wood.
This kid!
Enduring the sharp pain in his face, he realized that it would be difficult to take Lin Mei into the woods with him now.
A strong desire for revenge surged in Du He's heart.
"Lin Mei, Lu Feng, you wait."
Biting out the words, he spat them from the depths of his throat.
"Someone, attack."
His subordinate immediately stepped forward and helped Du He up. "Boss, what should we do!"
Du He clutched his right cheek, which was still dripping blood.
His anger surged, and he had lost his last shred of reason.
"Kill this woman!"
He felt he would never forgive himself if he didn't deal a severe blow to Lin Mei.
However, his subordinate hesitated.
Kidnapping and taking a life were two different matters.
The latter was far more serious.
The two subordinates immediately became hesitant.
Meanwhile, the police officers on either side perked up at the sound.
"Calm down, don't do anything rash!"
Seeing his subordinates' incompetence, Du He felt a surge of anger throughout his body.
What useless cowards.
However, his current shouting was of no use.
At this point, Du He was even willing to act himself.
But now, Lin Mei was already an arm's length away from Du He.
Although not far, it was enough for Lu Feng.
Seeing Du He staggering and approaching Lin Mei again.
*Whoosh!*
A dark figure moved like lightning.
Immediately after, a muffled thud echoed.
With this blow, Du He completely collapsed on the ground, silent.
"The hostage is confirmed safe. Everyone, move!"
One of the police officers took the lead, and all of Du He's subordinates were surrounded.
"Don't move!"
Seeing the police and losing their leader, Du He, these people all squatted on the ground, raising their hands over their heads.
"Not moving, not moving!"
Without Du He, the backbone of the group, the remaining people were quite easy to handle.
Before long, all of them were brought under control by the police.
At this moment, a familiar figure emerged from behind the police.
"Mr. Lu!" Zhang Dong exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Lu Feng.
"Are you alright?"
Lu Feng shook his head. "I'm fine!"
Seeing this, Zhang Dong smiled slightly. "It's good that you're fine."
Lin Mei, on the other hand, looked astonished. "Mr. Zhang, how did you know we were in trouble? And how did you know where we were!"
The police officers present were undoubtedly brought by Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong chuckled. "You should ask Mr. Lu that, not me!"
Lin Mei became even more confused.
"Lu Feng, did you text Mr. Zhang while they weren't paying attention?"
Du He was a shrewd person, would he let Lu Feng have his way?
Lu Feng's hands were tied, how could he have had the chance?
"Then how did you do it?" Lin Mei's interest in this matter was unusually high.
A soft glow appeared on Lu Feng's face.
"Just read out the beginning of what you said to me to Zhang Dong, and you'll understand!"
Lu Feng had said a lot at the time, how could Lin Mei possibly remember it all?
Zhang Dong, without waiting for Lin Mei to speak, continued, "Don't invest, it's a trap, find me!"
"I saw something was amiss at the time, so I immediately found someone to track and locate you!"
After speaking, Zhang Dong looked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng, now speaking in a tone of mutual admiration, said, "I knew all along that Mr. Zhang could understand my meaning!"
Zhang Dong had intended to admit that he had almost been fooled.
But since Lu Feng had already said it, he quickly swallowed the words that were about to reach his lips.
"This time, I must thank you properly. In the future, I'll ask you to be my strategist! Tomorrow, I'll sell all my Yonghe Group stock. I can still make a lot of money from it. I'll give you some reward then, I hope Mr. Lu will give me this face!"
Lu Feng naturally gave face to Zhang Dong, who was so courteously offering him money.
The group arrived at the police station. After a brief questioning, Lu Feng and Lin Mei parted ways with Zhang Dong.
This place was very close to where Lu Feng lived.
After dawdling for three hours, Lin Mei was also getting sleepy.
"Why don't you stay at my place tonight!"
Seeing Lin Mei's hands on the steering wheel, her eyes a little unfocused, and occasionally letting out yawns, Lu Feng couldn't help but suggest.
"Okay!"
Lin Mei was indeed exhausted. After coming out of the highly tense situation in that dilapidated courtyard, she was already feeling unsteady.
The two soon arrived at Lu Feng's apartment.
The moment they entered the room, they took a breath of air.
Lin Mei's tired eyes instantly widened.
"This, this is?"
A faint, indescribable fragrance floated in the air.
"This is something I learned from my master when I was on the mountain. It's a sachet that can stabilize the mind. What do you think?"
"It's good, really good!"
Lin Mei sat on the sofa.
Once a person transitions from drowsiness to wakefulness, Lin Mei's mind began to churn with various thoughts.
The last time she was here, she had only spent one day with Lu Feng.
Now, returning to this place, the feeling was completely different.
Lu Feng's mind was also constantly working.
Although this apartment had three rooms.
Regardless, he and Lin Mei were now living together!
The feeling was quite peculiar.
Lu Feng couldn't quite describe the sensation for a moment.
It was a bit like feeling nervous before returning home.
Lin Mei had previously yearned for such a scenario while in the Lin family.
But when this scenario actually appeared before her, she suddenly didn't know how to handle it.
"Perhaps, I should go rest first?"
"Okay! Call me if you need anything!"
Lu Feng replied with a hint of awkwardness.
Lin Mei went to the bathroom to shower.
Lu Feng sat on the sofa.
He could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Lu Feng felt distinctly different compared to the last time.
How should he put it?
Lin Mei, in front of him, held considerable attraction for him.
As a result, even though Lu Feng was sitting on the sofa with the television on, his eyes were glazed over.
Countless thoughts were swirling in his mind.
This girl.
When he first met her, he thought she was a bit aloof.
But as time passed and their relationship grew closer, this girl was quite good to him.
It had changed Lu Feng's preconceived notions about people from wealthy families living outside the mountains.
Although many of those rich young masters were arrogant and dissolute, there were also some upright individuals among them.
