"By the way, who brought me back last night? Was it a middle-aged man?" Shu Xin suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Not one, but two. They brought you to the doorstep, then realized they hadn't bought condoms, so they went downstairs to buy some and came back up to find you..."

"Impossible! Don't insult people. Manager Zheng is the reputable boss of a listed company; how could he do such a thing? I think you're just jealous of him," she said.

"Hah, judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty man? Why would I be jealous of that oaf?"

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then told her everything: the conversation he'd overheard and what Zheng Kaifang and the other man had planned to do to her.

After he finished, seeing that Shu Xin still looked skeptical, Lin Feng said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you call your 'Manager Zheng' right now and check? Or, look up his company online and see if it even exists, and whether he's really the chairman."

Hearing this, Shu Xin glanced at Lin Feng but still took out her phone and dialed Zheng Kaifang.

The call wouldn't connect; the line was out of service.

Still unwilling to give up, Shu Xin searched online, only to find that the company Zheng Kaifang had mentioned didn't exist at all, and Zheng Kaifang was not the boss of any company.

"I was tricked?"

Looking somewhat disappointed, Shu Xin slumped onto the couch, drawing her legs up, still looking incredulous.

"He and that other fellow, Sun, they're just a couple of predators who specialize in luring beautiful women into bed for sport. Don't believe me? Think about it: how many times did you 'coincidentally' run into them on the plane? Do you really think all of that was just by chance?"

Lin Feng's words were like a sudden awakening, making Shu Xin understand. "I knew it was too coincidental... So Manager Zheng... Zheng Kaifang is a fraud! No, I have to report him to the police and make him answer for his crimes! Who knows how many other women that scumbag has harmed!"

"No need. They won't be able to harm any more women," Lin Feng said, stopping Shu Xin from calling the police. "I taught them a lesson last night. Their little 'buddies' are probably useless now," he added with a sinister grin.

"You... you just... did a fantastic job!"

Shu Xin was stunned for a moment, then gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up.

"He pursued me from the beginning, but I wasn't interested. Neither his age nor his looks are my type. So, no matter how rich he was, I was never going to be with him. Later, he kept sending me gifts and helping me out, and I felt too embarrassed to keep refusing. That's why I agreed to have dinner with him yesterday. I never expected he'd try to do something like that to me!"

Shu Xin said angrily, then looked up, blinking her charming, large eyes at Lin Feng. "Hey, you really did me a huge favor this time. I owe you one, and I'll pay you back. How about this: when I have some free time, I'll treat you to dinner."

"I did you a huge favor, and all I get is one dinner?" Lin Feng asked.

"Then what do you want?"

"Well, at the very least, you should offer yourself to me in gratitude. I wouldn't mind, hehe."

"Offer myself? In your dreams! I'm older than you, you know! You might not care, but I certainly do! A toad lusting after swan meat? Fat chance!"

Shu Xin pouted and threw a cushion at Lin Feng.

...

Lin Feng had been transferred to the transportation department. It was a job with a flexible schedule and usually rotating shifts, so he hadn't gone to the company that morning. He leisurely made his way to the Emperor Dragon Group to clock in around nearly eleven o'clock.

Upon arriving at the company plaza, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure—Wu Mei, the assistant to the vice president.

In the spacious plaza, Wu Mei was struggling to walk, carrying a large bag with both hands. Carelessly, the documents she was holding slipped from her grasp, scattering all over the ground.

A breeze swept across the plaza, scattering the papers even further.

Wu Mei hurriedly tried to gather the documents.

What a great opportunity! Lin Feng thought, quickly rushing over to help.

Ye Lin had told him to get close to Wu Mei, and this was the perfect chance to improve his image in her eyes. Without hesitation, he dashed over.

After about ten minutes, Lin Feng had helped Wu Mei gather all the documents. He then carried most of her things as they walked into the company building together.

"Thank you, thank you so much," Wu Mei said repeatedly, looking at Lin Feng. "Thank you. If you hadn't helped, these documents would have probably blown away, and it would have taken me ages to gather them all by myself."

"You're welcome," Lin Feng replied in a gentlemanly manner.

"Your name is Lin Feng, right? I saw in a document the day before yesterday that you were just transferred from the security team to the transportation department, weren't you?" Wu Mei asked.

"Yes. Please look after me in the future." Lin Feng offered a charming smile. He wanted to make a good impression on Wu Mei, making it easier to get closer to her and gather information later.

"Haha, we should look out for each other. Thanks for your help just now; I would have been in a real mess if it weren't for you. Are you free tonight? I really ought to treat you to dinner."

The usually cold-faced Wu Mei, however, now revealed an incredibly captivating smile as she looked at Lin Feng.
