Now, Du Linlang is most afraid of Gao Panpan making a decision on her own and flatly rejecting Bai Yongge, which would make things difficult to handle.

She patted her pocket, intending to take out her phone to send a message to Gao Panpan.

But then she realized she didn't have her phone with her.

Du Linlang looked at herself in the mirror with some frustration. At this point, she could only hope that her training was sufficient.

Moreover, after living together for so many days, Gao Panpan should know what kind of person she is, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Perhaps Du Linlang's prayers worked, as they heard Gao Panpan say, "This is an important matter, please allow me some time to weigh it, and I will get back to you once I have decided. Is that okay?"

Bai Yongge's face instantly darkened; in his eyes, this was clearly overstepping boundaries.

If it weren't for those cowards at the Chang Family, would I need to come to you?

But obviously, Bai Yongge didn't intend to tear the facade, standing up, he said in a deep voice, "I hope General Manager Du can give a prompt response. Also, I hope that our discussion today doesn't reach a third person."

"Naturally." Gao Panpan nodded, seeing Bai Yongge off.

"Click!"

The office door closed.

Gao Panpan leaned back in her chair, exhaling a long breath: "Phew..."

Du Linlang came out from the bathroom, walked to Gao Panpan's side, and smiled, "Not bad, the efforts over the past few days weren't wasted on you. Keep it up!"

She then reached out to scrape Gao Panpan's nose.

However, just then, the office door opened.

"General Manager Du, there's one more thing…"

Bai Yongge, holding the door handle with one hand, was dumbfounded; wasn't it said that no third person should know?

For a moment, the three of them inside and outside the door were all a bit dumbstruck.

After a long while, Bai Yongge asked with a somber face, "General Manager Du, who is this beside you?"

Gao Panpan adjusted her emotions, smiled, and said, "This is my boyfriend. Rest assured, he's one of us, there won't be any leaks."

"I hope so." Bai Yongge said with an unpleasant expression: "I came back to tell you there's only one chance. Your second uncle, that gambler father of Du Qingyue, has already agreed to cooperate with us.

In other words, even if you refuse to cooperate, we have a way to deal with Du Qingyue and Xiao Feng."

After speaking, he closed the door and left.

"Pfft!" Du Linlang burst into laughter: "Luckily I didn't take off the wig just now, otherwise he'd definitely think I'm into women, hahahaha!"

Gao Panpan's face turned dark, she really didn't find any humor in this situation, moreover…

You say you're not into women, yet you keep flirting with me, what's that supposed to mean?

Is this a typical case of saying one thing but your actions showing the truth?

"Are you going to agree to collaborate with Bai Yongge?" Gao Panpan asked.

"Of course!" Du Linlang said without hesitation: "Why not take such a good opportunity?

Honestly, I eagerly want to use this opportunity to crush Du Qingyue, so I can swoop in and snatch Xiao Feng for myself."

"..." Gao Panpan.

Is it really okay to be this straightforward?

While she was silently complaining in her heart, she heard Du Linlang mutter, "We need to push this matter up the schedule quickly, otherwise if she gets pregnant, it'll be very bad for me."

After speaking, she looked at Gao Panpan, whose expression was quite remarkable: "Do you think that my targeting Du Qingyue is because of Xiao Feng?"

"Isn't it?" Gao Panpan asked, somewhat surprised. In her view, Du Linlang's strong dislike for Du Qingyue was definitely because she wanted to possess Xiao Feng, right?

Moreover, it seemed that the other party had just admitted it too.

Du Linlang pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, to be more precise, it's because of Du Qingyue that I like Xiao Feng. I've always been better than her since childhood, there's no reason to lose to her in terms of a partner."

"This…" Gao Panpan said, confused, "Do you mean that if it weren't for Du Qingyue, you might never have been interested in Xiao Feng?

Or rather, even until now, you haven't truly taken a liking to Xiao Feng?"

"I don't know." Du Qingyue shook her head, replying quite frankly, "Maybe when I meet someone better than Xiao Feng, I might just fall head over heels and switch affections, who knows."

Gao Panpan opened her mouth, but in the end, didn't know what to say.

She truly didn't know how to evaluate this.

The next moment, Gao Panpan suddenly laughed, feeling that she was indeed a bit ridiculous, until now, she hadn't even figured out whether the other party was telling the truth or not, let alone judge her way of handling emotions.

"What are you laughing at?" Du Linlang asked.

Gao Panpan shook her head and replied, "Nothing."

Du Linlang tilted her head, looked at her, and said somewhat emotionally, "Sometimes I wonder, wouldn't it be great if you were a man, personally nurture you as you grow, watch you improve bit by bit, become my support, and then we…"

Gao Panpan quickly stood up, changing the topic: "Let's not talk about this. There's a client appointment in five minutes, you should quickly change your clothes."

Du Linlang pulled off her wig: "Alright, I have to see someone tonight, do you want to come along?"

"Who are you meeting?"

"My cousin, Du Qingyue."

"Meeting her… for what?"

Standing at the bathroom door, Du Linlang said without turning her head: "Of course, to give her a heads-up."

"Ha!" Gao Panpan was stunned.

She really couldn't comprehend Du Linlang's train of thought, because this isn't normal thinking at all.

A normal person who wants to entrap someone wouldn't notify the victim beforehand, allowing them to be prepared, right?

This is like in a war, notifying the enemy of the bombing location and time, what's the point of fighting then?

Wait!

Suddenly, Gao Panpan felt she'd stumbled upon the truth, that Du Linlang's actions were a display of her disdain for Du Qingyue.

...

On the other side, Xiao Feng and his companions, still navigating the underground, finally exited the tunnel.

This time before them was a steep staircase leading straight up, almost vertical in angle.

And at the bottom of the stairs lay three discarded batteries.

Picking up the batteries and giving them a squeeze, Xiao Feng said, "Looks like someone has indeed been here, we need to pick up the pace."

The group nodded, their hands and feet stepping onto the stairs.

Here, the space on both sides was already very spacious, wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

When they reached the top step, a rope bridge appeared before them, easily fifty meters long.

"You can all guess, will there be bodies under this bridge?" Xiao Feng said with a grin.

But no one could laugh; along the way, aside from avoiding traps previously set by Iwakami Ryoji, every encounter with traps had dead bodies.

So even without Xiao Feng saying it, upon seeing the rope bridge, the conclusion was almost expected.

However, upon reaching the rope bridge, surprisingly, there were no bodies beneath it.

But, there was something even scarier than corpses...
