Chapter 23 The Third Way

Lu Feng spoke, gathering a thick stack of documents from the table.

Those were basic introductions to the Qin family.

Ever since Lin Dong had a falling out with the Qin family.

Although the relationship between the Qin family and the Lin family was not overtly hostile.

They were, after all, both involved in the southeastern city's affairs.

Naturally, they would encounter each other frequently.

In the business world, if you are not friends, the most likely scenario is to meet as enemies.

To deal with an enemy, one must know oneself and the enemy to win a hundred battles.

Therefore, no one understood the Qin family better than the Lin family.

The information contained here covered every aspect the Lin family could know.

It even included how many children the Qin family had.

What each of them did, and their positions within the Qin family.

It was a complete personnel distribution map of the Qin family.

"Because, on here, there are at least two breakthroughs."

"Breakthroughs? Two of them?"

The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.

But soon, the astonishment on her face turned into unconcealed mockery.

"We have studied this information countless times. How long have you been here? How much have you seen?"

The woman, believing she had grasped Lin Dong's intentions, spoke with increased volume and a more insolent demeanor.

Her arrogant gaze fixed directly on Lu Feng.

Although the rest of her words were unspoken,

anyone with eyes could understand what she meant.

"Stop acting.

If you continue, you won't be able to maintain this lie."

After speaking, the woman leaned to the side, looking smug, and exhaled slowly.

She was eager to hear what ridiculous excuse this young man would come up with.

Lu Feng remained calm and composed.

He hadn't spoken of breakthroughs lightly.

Lu Feng not only possessed good methods and reaction abilities,

but also an astonishing memory.

While he couldn't claim the legendary ability of photographic memory,

after a brief perusal, he had indeed found several breakthroughs.

Two was a rather conservative estimate!

Without giving the woman a chance to interrupt again, Lu Feng got straight to the point.

"Uncle Lin, if you trust me, I will resolve this matter within these two days by following these breakthroughs!"

This matter, to put it bluntly, was one where one could stand by and watch if uninvolved.

If successful, at most, he would gain the favor of the gaunt man before him.

But if it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Feng clearly weighed these stakes.

It was best not to get involved in such matters if possible.

But as his gaze swept over the woman nearby,

and he noticed the inexplicable pride and disdain in her eyes,

Lu Feng's hesitation vanished instantly.

This person clearly remembered the trivial matters that occurred in the shop.

She would not be satisfied without seeking revenge!

Now, in front of Lin Dong,

her intentions were blatant.

She clearly intended to sever his relationship with Lin Mei, preferably completely.

This was something Lu Feng could not tolerate.

For the past two days, although he understood that he and Lin Mei were not a match in the eyes of the world,

and the possibility was extremely low,

Lin Mei's actions and attitude towards him

had always brought Lu Feng great joy.

He wasn't sure if this feeling was what people called "love at first sight."

However, with Lin Mei around,

Lu Feng felt a sense of comfort in everything he did.

Furthermore, Lu Feng remembered that Lin Mei had promised to help him find Dong Ye.

He had only been down the mountain for a few days.

Lu Feng had not forgotten his master's words so easily.

Even if it took a year, or even ten years,

he would never forget what his master had said.

Now, this spoiled woman was undoubtedly planning to strike a heavy blow against him.

How could Lu Feng let her succeed?

After speaking, Lu Feng quietly awaited Lin Dong's final decision.

Lin Dong, being an experienced man of the world,

kept his expression tightly controlled.

Yet, even so,

the fine beads of sweat trickling down his forehead betrayed him completely.

Although the sweat only lasted for a short while,

and disappeared with a seemingly casual wipe from Lin Dong,

Lin Dong himself knew that the unprecedented psychological impact would not dissipate.

It was as if a boulder the size of a person had struck his chest.

At this moment, Lin Dong's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

His previous assessment of Lu Feng was now uncertain.

Was this kid being reckless, or had he genuinely discovered a problem?

"What did you say?" After some thought, Lin Dong, in utter disbelief, assumed he had misheard.

After all, this was a path fraught with thorns.

Even he himself,

after so many years, had not dared to tread this path.

And now, this young man, who looked no older than twenty, dared to have such courage?

Lin Dong looked at Lu Feng again.

At this moment, Lu Feng's expression was extremely confident.

He didn't look like someone who was just boasting.

Countless questions instantly arose in Lin Dong's heart.

Who exactly was this kid, and what was he up to?

Hearing this, Lu Feng composed himself slightly and repeated word for word, "I said, Uncle Lin, give me two days, and I will help you resolve these ten tons of fresh produce."

Lin Dong was even more astonished.

Or rather, this astonishment was no longer mere surprise.

He had expected that if he asked again,

the kid would surely falter and retract his words, as he was knowingly walking into danger.

But to his surprise, the young man before him stood tall and straight.

A heroic spirit blazed in his eyes.

He showed no signs of being intimidated.

Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

It seemed this kid truly had something.

His earlier contempt for the young man

instantly melted away in his heart like ice encountering warm spring sunshine.

Lin Feng had been holding his breath, observing the changes in Lin Dong's expression.

Now, Lin Dong's face was sometimes tense, sometimes confused, and sometimes solemn.

Witnessing such complex shifts, Lin Feng began to feel a little scared.

This was going to cause trouble.

To avoid any unnecessary chain reactions,

Lin Feng quickly put on a cheerful facade and said,

"Mr. Lu, my father is just asking for your opinion, there's no need to be so serious. I heard you are my sister's savior. this family meeting is almost over, why don't we have a meal together!"

Lin Feng intended to use this somewhat awkward but effective method to diffuse the icy atmosphere.

However, before he could finish speaking,

he was directly interrupted by Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's entire attention was clearly focused on Lu Feng's words.

Lin Feng's few casual remarks were completely ignored by him.

The way Lin Dong looked at Lu Feng had changed at this moment.

"Wait, you said. In two days, you can help me resolve this fresh produce? And using the third method?"
