Xia Xue felt an inexplicable sense of delight and vindication at Lin Feng's humiliation of Ling Feiyan.
However, recalling Lin Feng's comment that Ling Feiyan had also entered through the back door, Xia Xue's brow furrowed. "Lin Feng, you said she also entered through the back door. What did you mean by that?"
"You're just like her, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation. Both of you got in through the back door."
Lin Feng replied with a carefree laugh.
At his words, Xia Xue clenched her fists angrily, and like Ling Feiyan, her eyes turned fierce as she glared at Lin Feng.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Yang Ming rushed over. "Feiyan, Lei Lingyun has agreed to drop the charges against Sun Pengfei. They want us to release him!"
"Release him?"
Ling Feiyan's face showed surprise, her brows knitting into a deep frown.
"That's right. Lei Bao sent his lawyer personally to say so."
As Yang Ming spoke, he noticed Ling Feiyan's left arm was stained red with blood. "Feiyan, what happened to your arm? Are you injured?"
"You don't need to worry about it. I'm going to find out what's going on! You keep Sun Pengfei detained for now!"
Ling Feiyan instructed coldly, and quickly left the interrogation room.
"Captain Yang, don't forget what you promised me. This is your only chance, so cherish it!"
Lin Feng patted Yang Ming on the shoulder, and seeing there was nothing else for him, he also left.
Yang Ming harbored immense resentment. The sight of Lin Feng ignited a murderous impulse within him, but he was no match for Lin Feng. What else could he do? He could only endure it!
"Lin Feng, wait for me!"
Xia Xue chased after him.
"Do you need something?"
Lin Feng stopped, looking puzzled.
"My dad wants you to come over for dinner tonight!"
Xia Xue said with a forced tone, genuinely unable to comprehend what was so appealing about Lin Feng. After only two visits, her parents had developed such a strong liking for him.
Now, Lin Feng had become the family's golden boy, with her father constantly urging him to visit.
Xia Xue felt helpless and could only continue playing along.
"It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll come over tonight."
Lin Feng smiled, knowing full well that this wasn't Xia Xue's genuine wish, but rather something she was compelled to do.
However, as a man, he still needed to maintain some composure. He couldn't just do whatever Xia Xue asked him to do; that would be losing face!
"Whatever you want. Come if you want, don't if you don't!"
Xia Xue didn't want to deal with Lin Feng anymore, eager to clarify the matter of Sun Pengfei. She turned and went to find Ling Feiyan.
Leaving the Ming Unit, Lin Feng had Tang Pinliang drive him back to the villa.
At the villa, meanwhile.
Luo Keke glared with eyes that seemed ready to kill.
This was because Jiang Mingyu had shown up uninvited.
"Keke, I never imagined you'd get along so well with Miss Liu Mengyao that you wouldn't even want to come home. If Uncle Luo hadn't told me you were here, I wouldn't have been able to find you."
Jiang Mingyu chatted with Luo Keke with a smile, his face radiating warmth, presenting himself as a gentle scholar.
"Keke, quickly introduce me. Who is this?"
Liu Mengyao listened to Jiang Mingyu's soliloquy, still unclear about his identity or background.
"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, this is Jiang Mingyu. His dad and my dad are old classmates. A few days ago, he shamelessly came to my house to propose and insisted that I get engaged to him!"
"Oh, and this guy has an online alias, 'Young Master Jiang.' You might know him!"
Luo Keke introduced him impatiently.
Liu Mengyao was stunned. The information Luo Keke had just given her was a bit overwhelming, and she needed time to process it.
After a considerable pause, Liu Mengyao finally pieced together the relationship between Jiang Mingyu and Luo Keke.
"Keke, if you say so, Jiang Mingyu is your fiancé?!"
Liu Mengyao exclaimed in surprise.
"No way! I would never get engaged to him. He's just wishful thinking!"
Luo Keke retorted, displeased.
"Keke, don't say that. Uncle Luo has already agreed to this marriage. All that's left is for you to give your consent. As long as there are no issues on your end, we can get our marriage license immediately!"
When the topic of marriage arose, Jiang Mingyu's eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Especially upon seeing how well-developed Luo Keke's figure was, he felt a surge of elation.
The last time he saw Luo Keke, she was still a skinny, undeveloped girl. He never expected that after so many years, Luo Keke would seem like a completely different person.
Her chest, her face, her long legs…
Jiang Mingyu's lewd gaze swept over Luo Keke, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Luo Keke noticed Jiang Mingyu's wicked stare and became even more incensed. "Jiang Mingyu, stop talking. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
"It's impossible between us. Even if my father agrees, I won't. So just give up on this idea!"
Luo Keke's attitude was firm. She already had someone in her heart, and even if she didn't, she would never marry someone like Jiang Mingyu!
"Keke, how can you be so heartless? We've been childhood sweethearts. Don't tell me you've fallen for someone else?"
Jiang Mingyu grew a little flustered and frowned. "I know. You must like that Lin Xiaoqi. You think Lin Xiaoqi is richer than me. No wonder you're living in the same house. So you've already gotten involved with him, right?"
"Jiang Mingyu, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I'm living in the same house as Lin Xiaoqi?"
Luo Keke rolled her eyes, feeling that Jiang Mingyu's mind was not right; he had developed paranoia!
"Keke, don't deny it. I've already had someone check Lin Xiaoqi's IP address. He sent you gifts in this house last time."
Jiang Mingyu's joy was completely gone. Mentioning Lin Xiaoqi, his eyes were filled with malice.
At his words, Liu Mengyao's composure was shattered. As if she had heard explosive news, she shot up from the sofa.
"Mr. Jiang, you said Lin Xiaoqi's IP address was my villa? Are you sure?"
Liu Mengyao's moist eyes were filled with unprecedented panic.
Luo Keke snorted. "Sister Yaoyao, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. Little Lin said earlier that Lin Xiaoqi isn't even in Qingcheng."
"Keke, I'm not talking nonsense. I have proof!"
Jiang Mingyu grew anxious and took out his phone, showing chat records with Doumao official staff. "Look, even the official staff from Doumao have confirmed it. The IP address is indeed at your place!"
Luo Keke and Liu Mengyao looked closely. Upon seeing the proof from the official staff, they were both speechless.
"Sister Yaoyao, what's going on? How did Lin Xiaoqi end up at our house?"
Luo Keke was confused. As a genius like herself, she was stumped.
Liu Mengyao remained silent, as if her soul had been drained. She slumped back onto the sofa, closed her eyes, and began to ponder.
According to Lin Feng, Lin Xiaoqi was his seventh brother and was out of town.
Now, Jiang Mingyu presented evidence proving that Lin Xiaoqi's IP address was at the villa.
The words of these two were clearly contradictory!
The most crucial point was that Jiang Mingyu had solid evidence, while Lin Feng had only spoken words.
Could it be that Lin Feng had been lying to her all along?
Liu Mengyao suddenly thought of something, and recalling how Lin Feng always stammered whenever she asked about Lin Xiaoqi, this made Liu Mengyao even more convinced that Lin Feng was lying!
But why would Lin Feng lie? What was he trying to hide?
Liu Mengyao felt her thoughts in disarray. She gently massaged her temples, trying to sort everything out again.
