Lin Hai did not want to give this person any more time.
When dealing with Lu Feng, the sooner the better, the earlier the better.
It was like a tree; strangling it in its seedling stage was the most convenient.
Once this tree pierced the clouds, wouldn't it be as difficult as climbing to heaven to deal with it?
And Lu Feng right now was in a period of rapid ascent.
Precisely at this time, Lu Feng's consciousness and judgment were somewhat disturbed by Lin Mei and his master's affairs.
This was a rare opportunity to turn the tables.
Lin Hai had already missed one chance, and having tasted the consequences of missing out, he vowed not to miss another.
With this thought, Lin Hai's expression turned serious.
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? I asked you just now, and you insisted that your father was unwell. What is it that you can decide?"
He used Li Zhiming's own words to question him. Now, even with a silver tongue, he would be unable to defend himself.
Noticing that the man hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a single complete sentence, Lin Hai immediately issued his ultimatum.
"How about this? Since you've taken this on, you'll handle your father's job. Give me a reply within three days. How about it?"
"Three days?"
Li Zhiming's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
Let alone three days, if he were to tell his father the truth about this matter.
His father would skin him alive upon hearing it.
Forget three days, it might not even be agreed upon in three years.
Li Zhiming still wanted to say something.
But Lin Hai's words rained down like hailstones.
"You must understand, your father only has you as his son. Alright, I won't say any more. Three days from now, I'll be waiting for your good news, otherwise, I'll have to call you."
Although Lin Hai spoke the last few words in an extremely gentle tone, Li Zhiming couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.
After speaking, Lin Hai quickly got up and then, with the woman, left the spacious apartment.
After the two left, Li Zhiming finally had someone bring his father from the tea room on the upper terrace to him.
"Dad, this time, you have to help your son."
Meanwhile, the woman followed Lin Hai down from upstairs and returned to the car.
She couldn't help but ask curiously and with a hint of worry, "Do you think my brother can get Dad to agree?"
Although Lin Hai didn't know the outcome yet, he could clearly sense an air of certainty from his words and actions.
"Trust me, your brother will be fine."
Having settled one worry, Lin Hai felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Lu Feng's situation, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.
Lin Mei had just emerged from her inner shadows, and her master had encountered such a predicament.
It was one thing that the investigations into several matters yielded no results.
According to his keen sense and the general situation Lin Feng had encountered these past few days, the Lin family, which had not been peaceful for more than a few days, was about to have its hard-won tranquility shattered once again.
At this moment, Lu Feng was being called out of the ward by Lin Feng into the corridor.
Noticing Lin Feng, Lu Feng almost instinctively asked,
"Any leads on that Liao Heyun?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately shook his head.
He wasn't here to discuss this with Lu Feng, and besides, he didn't have the mind to deal with it right now.
He glanced around, as it was a hospital after all.
Although the corridor was quiet, there were still a few patients and nurses passing by.
Lin Feng glanced at Lu Feng, then said, "Why don't we go downstairs to talk?"
"Why?"
Lin Feng did not answer directly, but continued in a low voice, "In any case, this is not a suitable place."
Sensing something amiss from the other's expression, Lu Feng said, "Fine, let's go down."
Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately turned around. After a short while, Lu Feng followed behind him, and they took the elevator to the water feature in the garden behind the hospital, which was used for patient recovery.
Stopping there, Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally, he poured out all the words that had been suppressed in his heart.
"Lu Feng, as Lin Mei's brother, I know that the matter concerning Lin Mei and your master has had a great impact on you. It's not just you, it's me too. I can understand how you feel. As long as we find this Liao Heyun, I wish I could tear this person to shreds without asking for anyone's help."
Although he hadn't finished speaking, Lu Feng had already heard the answer he wanted from his words.
"So, you haven't found him."
With such clarity, even if Lin Feng wanted to lie, he wouldn't know where to start.
"Yes!" Lin Feng lowered his head, his expression gloomy.
"That's strange. Someone in Southeast City knows this person's name and basic resume, so why can't they find him?"
This was the fourth consecutive day that Lu Feng had been in this state.
He seemed to have gotten himself into a dead end.
However, Lin Feng couldn't directly say it. After all, in these successive incidents, Lu Feng was the most direct victim. Being blunt would be like rubbing salt into his wounds.
As a result, Lin Feng could only try to be as cautious and indirect as possible.
"Lu Feng, have you ever considered that searching like this is unlikely to yield results, or perhaps no results at all?"
"Then what do you suggest?"
Lin Feng took a deep breath and then said, "Now, the only way to find him, no, to possibly find him, is to mobilize the police. But Lu Feng, you know that this person has not committed any crime, and we absolutely cannot do this."
Lu Feng's gaze gradually shifted to Lin Feng's face as he spoke.
"So, you mean to say that he can't be found at all?"
Lin Feng remained silent.
However, Lu Feng quickly broke the silence, "We must find this person."
Although Lu Feng was indeed getting a bit obsessive, he had not lost his basic rationality.
The reason Lu Feng was acting this way was for long-term consideration.
Since this person was hiding in the shadows and could easily control everything,
it meant that this person was a huge hidden danger.
Once this danger exploded, it would be Lin Mei and his master this time, and next time it would likely be himself and even the entire Lin family.
Lin Feng understood this logic.
However, on this matter, he had his own different opinion.
Indeed, Lu Feng's judgment had been sharp before, but this time, he felt that Lu Feng was being led step by step into a trap.
Moreover, in addition to this trap, the Lin family was also being gradually enveloped by a large net.
