Chapter 36: She Simply Refuses to Let Him Give Up!

Turtle... What on earth is happening?! Miss Liu actually needs to consult Lin Feng about this kind of matter?!

Li Hao and the others stared at Lin Feng in utter shock.

Seeing their odd expressions, Lin Feng quickly forced a smile and said, “You’re the boss here; how could a mere security guard like me make the call?”

Liu Tianhan raised her eyebrows, giving Lin Feng a long, thoughtful look.

No wonder the young lady treats him differently—he had a perfect chance to show off, yet he didn’t take it!

Her eyes flickered as she said, “Just call a doctor over to take a look. Find out whose family he belongs to. Once the meeting ends, notify them so they can take him away.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Li Hao and the others responded promptly.

With a crowd still waiting in the conference room, Liu Tianhan didn’t linger. She strode in, heels clicking sharply.

Lin Feng helped close the doors, and soon the sound of conversation filled the room.

The corridor returned to calm.

Li Hao turned and looked at Lin Feng. “Hey, Lin, I can’t shake the feeling that something’s off between you and Miss Liu.”

“You’re mistaken,” Lin Feng replied coolly, not bothering to explain.

Glancing at Lin Feng’s handsome face, Li Hao suddenly seemed enlightened. “Must be because you’re too good-looking, damn it! From now on, I won’t patrol with you. Standing next to you, all my thunder gets stolen!”

Being praised for one’s looks by women is common enough.

But being complimented by a friend—that’s truly handsome!

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel cheerful. He deliberately drew closer to Li Hao, his tall stature instantly overshadowing Li Hao by half a head.

He raised his hand, casually hooking Li Hao’s shoulder, and said with a grin, “Come now, in my eyes, Brother Li, you’re the real charmer—everyone loves you!”

“Bah! Always joking with me!” Li Hao snorted, complaining, “What good is being loved by all? I’m still single after all these years...”

“Ah, you’re wrong there...”

...

“What did you say? Xu Jie was knocked out with electricity?”

At the Violet Light Mansion, Chu Lingshuang lifted her gaze in surprise, looking at Yu Xueyan on the screen.

“That’s right! Miss, can you believe it? In the middle of the meeting, he beat up a family member and even stunned him with electricity.”

Yu Xueyan was equally incredulous, adding, “Though honestly, Xu Jie deserved it—of all things, he had to secretly photograph Tianhan changing clothes...”

The rest of Yu Xueyan’s words seemed to fall on deaf ears.

Chu Lingshuang curled her lips with interest. What a surprise!

She had orchestrated this little drama just to observe Lin Feng’s reaction.

He always wore an air of indifference; she wanted to see if he could maintain that attitude when “an old acquaintance” appeared before him.

Yet, Lin Feng had surprised her with such a wonderful twist!

The excuse was admittedly flimsy, but this vengeful streak of his really fascinated her.

This man was simply too interesting!

“Miss... Miss?!”

Immersed in the shock of Lin Feng’s actions, Chu Lingshuang didn’t respond until Yu Xueyan called her several times.

Her thoughts forcibly interrupted, Chu Lingshuang answered with some annoyance, “Speak.”

Yu Xueyan hurried to say, “But I’m afraid the Xu family won’t let this go easily...”

“Of course they won’t!” Chu Lingshuang crossed her legs, arms folded, lips arched in a faint smile. Xu Jie was the long-lost son of the Xu family, only recently found. Seeing their own son beaten like this, how could they not demand accountability?

A hint of playfulness sparkled in Chu Lingshuang’s eyes. “Give them the bidding contract this time.”

“Give it to them?!” Yu Xueyan was stunned. “Miss, no matter how hard they try, the Xu family is just a small company. Why should we fear them?”

Fear?

Chu Lingshuang raised an eyebrow; she simply found it entertaining.

Lin Feng wanted a peaceful life? She wouldn’t let him slack off!

“Do as I say.” Her voice was cold. “And spread the news that Lin Feng beat Xu Jie—make sure to mention the company!”

Once Lin Feng’s name was involved, Yu Xueyan understood immediately. She nodded, speechless, and felt a bit sorry for Lin Feng.

Being treated as a plaything by her lady—how pitiful...

He’d surely have a rough time ahead!

...

The bidding meeting concluded, and Xu Zhiqing stared in disbelief at the contract in her hand.

Around her, congratulations were tinged with envy.

“Congratulations, Miss Xu. Landing a contract with Yi Han Group—let’s keep in touch from now on!”

“Miss Xu is truly a capable woman; she didn’t say a word and still got noticed!”

“Miss Xu, let’s exchange contacts. If you ever need my help, I’ll go to any lengths for you!”

“Miss Xu...”

Within just a few minutes, several new contacts appeared on Xu Zhiqing’s phone, all from industry peers.

Responding to everyone’s congratulations, Xu Zhiqing quickly excused herself and left.

She was anxious.

Xiao Jie had gone to the restroom an hour ago and hadn’t returned—it was already eleven thirty, and she was worried.

After all, it was his first time in an unfamiliar place.

She rushed to the restroom and asked a young man at the door, only to learn that there was no one inside.

Panic took hold, and she hurried to the lobby downstairs.

After asking the lobby manager, Xu Zhiqing finally learned that as the second meeting began, Xu Jie had been knocked out and sent to the hospital by ambulance.

Xu Zhiqing was now thoroughly alarmed. Forgetting about Lin Feng, she hurried to the parking lot, drove off, and headed for the hospital.

After finally locating Xiao Jie’s ward, she hadn’t even entered when her father, Xu Tangde, called.

“Zhiqing, didn’t I tell you to take good care of your brother? How could you let Lin Feng beat him up?!”

From the other end, she could faintly hear Wang Shan sobbing...

Xu Zhiqing was utterly confused. “What? Xiao Jie was beaten by Lin Feng?”

“It’s all over the news—how can you not know?!”

Xu Tangde’s furious voice nearly pierced the phone. “Your mother and I are on our way back now. Zhiqing, how could you fail as a sister? How could you let that ingrate bully Xiao Jie?!”

Xu Zhiqing felt wronged and hurried to explain, “Dad, I didn’t know! I was in the meeting the whole time—I only just won the contract and heard Xiao Jie was hurt...”

On the other end, Xu Tangde paused, sounding somewhat pleased. “You got the contract?”

“Yes, the Yi Han Group order—Miss Liu handed it to me personally.”

“That’s wonderful!” Xu Tangde became excited. “Looks like Yi Han Group knows the rules. Their security guard beats someone, so they compensate us with a contract...”

Then his tone suddenly hardened. “But that brute beating Xiao Jie is not the end of it!”

“Zhiqing, take advantage of this contract and build a good relationship with Yi Han. If they dare provoke the Xu family, I’ll make sure he gets kicked out of Jing City!”
