One evening passed quietly.
Lu Feng woke up to the vibration of his phone under his pillow.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Zhang Dong."
He glanced at the time; it was exactly nine-thirty in the morning.
At this hour, he would normally have been awake long ago.
However, last night, he was indeed too tired.
After the entanglement with Du He in that courtyard, he was utterly exhausted.
Rubbing his sore eyes.
Lu Feng pushed open the door from his room and went to the living room table, poured a glass of cold water, and drank it.
"What's up?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Dong heard Lu Feng's groggy reply.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "Hey, be honest, did you do it with Miss Lin last night?"
Zhang Dong's voice carried a hint of lewdness and perversion.
"What are you thinking!"
Lu Feng replied without hesitation.
Although he had a good impression of Lin Mei, he was not someone who interpreted good feelings as forceful possession.
Even though Lu Feng admitted that he harbored some similar thoughts deep down.
After all, any man would likely have little resistance in front of such a girl.
"Alright, let's not talk about this, what's up?"
Lu Feng's voice gradually steadied as he spoke on the phone.
On Zhang Dong's end, his tone became more assertive.
"You forgot, Mr. Lu helped me recover a large sum of losses, and I must return this favor."
"You're too kind!"
Before Lu Feng could finish, Zhang Dong interrupted with a smile, "One thing is one thing, I, Zhang Dong, am a businessman. If Mr. Lu insists on refusing, it's a bit like looking down on me. Besides, I still have something I want to ask Mr. Lu for!"
Upon hearing that there was something, Lu Feng's ears perked up.
"What? You want me to look at another stock?"
Zhang Dong shook his head.
"It's not about stocks, but in five days, there will be a small-scale business gathering, and I hope Mr. Lu can attend with Miss Lin! I'll need the two of you to lend some prestige to the event!"
Zhang Dong's words were full of earnestness.
Especially after what happened last night, Lu Feng's timely reminder.
It had directly allowed him to avoid tens of millions in losses.
What concerned him even more was.
This incident had not damaged Zhang Ke's trust in him.
If this matter had gone wrong.
Zhang Ke's trust in him would have truly plummeted.
Compared to losing money, this was undoubtedly what Zhang Dong worried about the most.
And Lu Feng had saved him from the disaster that would have befallen him.
As a result, Zhang Dong now saw Lu Feng with a sense of brotherhood.
"Deal!" Lu Feng nodded.
Business gatherings.
He had seen them on television.
It was where a group of businessmen gathered.
And the purpose of their gathering was certainly not just to have a meal.
They were all wealthy; none of them lacked a meal.
Such gatherings were often occasions for everyone to exchange resources.
In such settings, rare new information could often be discovered.
Lu Feng was currently pondering his next move.
Now, Zhang Dong had provided him with a path forward.
"I'll definitely be there!"
Lu Feng's words were decisive.
Zhang Dong's delighted voice came from the other end of the phone, "You're a good friend."
Then, he raised his voice and said, "Alright, I won't disturb you and Miss Lin any longer!"
With that, he hung up the phone with a click.
"This guy, really!"
Lu Feng quietly put away his phone.
He yawned a few times.
Just as he was about to turn, a sharp scream pierced his ears.
Lu Feng flinched as if he had been electrocuted.
After calming down slightly and realizing it was Lin Mei's voice.
Lu Feng's brow furrowed, and he turned to look behind him.
"What's wrong?"
As he turned, Lin Mei was already covering her eyes.
"Lu, Lu Feng!"
She looked as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Lu Feng was stunned by her appearance.
"Is there something behind me?"
Lu Feng looked back in surprise.
Behind him was the floor-to-ceiling glass door leading to the balcony.
There was nothing unusual.
Lin Mei's face was burning hot.
At this moment, she didn't know how to describe it.
"You, your pants!"
Pants!?
Hearing this, Lu Feng instinctively looked down.
In an instant, his composure vanished.
Damn it!
Lu Feng had been alone in this house for the past few days, so he hadn't been so particular.
As a result, after several days, Lu Feng had developed a habit.
He had come out wearing only shorts.
However, at this moment, he hadn't had time to tidy up due to his haste in getting up. Coupled with the lingering fatigue from last night, he still had aftereffects.
He hadn't paid any attention to it at all.
The place that shouldn't have been exposed was exposed.
"This, the joke went too far!"
Especially in front of Lin Mei.
Lu Feng was speechless for a moment.
He quickly rushed back to his bedroom, hastily put on his clothes, and emerged with an expression of immense embarrassment.
"I, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Lu Feng cautiously pushed open the door, came out again, and spoke haltingly.
"I'm not a pervert!"
He expected Lin Mei to scold him.
To his great surprise.
Lin Mei merely blushed and said softly, "I know, Lu Feng, you didn't mean to!"
"Huff!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had almost been scared stiff.
At this moment, Lu Feng realized that, unknowingly, not only he had a place in Lin Mei's heart.
Lin Mei also seemed to occupy a significant portion of his own heart.
Meanwhile, in the police interrogation room.
Du He was being blinded by two glaring spotlights directly on his forehead.
"Speak, what is your relationship with Yonghe Group?"
"Didn't I already say? My relationship with Yonghe Group is that I am one of its shareholders."
Du He stubbornly insisted, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked disdainfully at the two interrogators in front of him.
One of them said coldly, "Fine, you don't need to remind us, we will investigate!"
A moment later, this person continued, "Why did you decide to do this?"
Du He hesitated for a moment and said, "For no reason." Then, he glared angrily.
With an uncontrollable surge of rage, "Because I hate the Lin family! If it weren't for the Lin family, would I have ended up like this?"
Seeing this, the interrogator immediately interrupted, "Alright, stop talking."
Then, he walked out.
"How is it!" Standing outside the door was someone clearly of a higher rank than this person.
The interrogator shook his head repeatedly.
"This guy is tight-lipped. We've been questioning him for two hours, and he keeps repeating the same few things."
"Forget it, we won't get anything out of him this way. We'll have to investigate from multiple angles!"
At the same time, in a 24-hour convenience store outside Yonghe Group.
Two men were whispering to each other.
One of them was Lin Hai.
"So, it didn't achieve any results this time?"
After listening to the other person's account, Lin Hai's face suddenly darkened.
"Yes!"
