Cao Ying was really nervous. She feared Cao Tiannan had made some excessive demands on Lin Feng, such as asking him not to associate with her. But seeing Cao Tiannan's demeanor before he left, which didn't seem unusual, Cao Ying was a bit puzzled. Maybe I'm overthinking things, she mused.

It was now after nine in the evening. Under the neon lights, a cool autumn breeze blew as Lin Feng gazed at Cao Ying's beautiful face. He had initially considered telling her directly about his conversation with Cao Tiannan. But then again, he thought, if I tell her about the promise—no sex unless we get married—she might think I'm joking and trying to take advantage of her!

With this in mind, Lin Feng chuckled. "Uncle Cao didn't say much," he joked. "Just mentioned something about betrothing you to me..."

Cao Ying's face stiffened. That's too far-fetched, she thought. Seeing Lin Feng's mischievous grin, she instantly realized he was joking. "Hmph! Be honest with me, or I'll give you a beating!"

Lin Feng's expression turned serious. "What I said is true... You can ask him when you get home."

Cao Ying rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Feng, knowing he was still joking. "Really? So, what did you say?"

"I said I'm still too young to get married, so I had to politely decline..." Lin Feng looked at Cao Ying with a regretful expression and sighed. "What a pity... such an exceptional beauty..."

"Hmph!" Cao Ying blushed and huffed. She knew Lin Feng was deliberately teasing her, unwilling to tell her what he and her father had discussed. However, hearing Lin Feng's half-earnest, half-joking praise, she decided to suppress her curiosity for the time being. After all, her cousin Li Liping was still there.

When they arrived at the Yuefu Hotel parking lot, Lin Feng took out the BMW car keys he had won from Sun Zheng and pressed the unlock button. In a corner, a black BMW X5 beeped, its turn signals flashing twice.

"Ladies, did you drive here? Need a lift back to school?" Lin Feng knew Cao Ying and Li Liping were both boarding students. Having just won a new car, he spontaneously offered them a ride.

What Lin Feng didn't know was that, at this very moment, on a side of the black BMW X5 not visible to them, near the rear, a small, black, plastic-like object was stuck to the car. A tiny LCD on it flashed red numbers: 90... 89... 88...

"You drank so much, and you still want to drive?" Cao Ying stared at Lin Feng in surprise. She truly couldn't fathom his alcohol tolerance. He must be really drunk, she suspected, and now he wants to drive recklessly to vent it.

"Yeah! The school isn't far, but I don't want to die young..." Li Liping said, shaking her head with a smile, clearly showing her distrust of Lin Feng.

"Would you believe me if I said I'm not drunk?" Lin Feng was frustrated. From the moment he started drinking until now, he hadn't shown any signs of being drunk, yet Cao Ying and Li Liping still didn't believe him.

"We don't believe you..." Li Liping giggled, shaking her head firmly.

"I don't believe you either. Alright, just take my car home. You can get yours tomorrow!" Cao Ying dangled the keys to her Porsche Carrera GT, grinning smugly.

A stylish grey Porsche Carrera GT sat quietly in a parking spot about forty meters away. Its aerodynamic lines were stunning, and its twin-turbocharged engine exuded immense power. Lin Feng fell in love with this top-tier supercar at first sight. A car is like another wife to a man, after all! he thought. This Carrera GT was the perfect fusion of an angelic face and a devilish figure—utterly seductive!

"Showing off again…" Li Liping grumbled, looking rather envious as she saw the car keys, originally hers, gleaming in Cao Ying's hand.

"If you don't like me showing off, then give me back the five million. I'll save it for my dowry…" Cao Ying glanced at Li Liping, smiling.

Li Liping instantly fell silent. No way! she thought. I finally have the capital for a new sports car; I can't just give the money back to Cao Ying!

Lin Feng watched the two cousins banter with interest. As he walked towards the Carrera GT with them, he chuckled. "Sounds good. Let me experience this legendary supercar."

"Hmph... The Carrera GT is a two-seater. You two lovebirds go enjoy yourselves. I'm leaving..." Worried Cao Ying might change her mind and ask for the money back, Li Liping didn't wait for a reply. She hurriedly walked in another direction and got into a black Mercedes-Benz.

When Li Liping said she didn't have a car, she meant her own. In fact, the Yuefu Group had over a dozen company cars. If she wanted to use one, there was always one available.

Cao Ying watched Li Liping's figure recede. When she turned back to Lin Feng, her gaze softened considerably. "My cousin's gone now," she said quietly. "Can you finally tell me? What exactly did Dad say to you?"

"This... it's not very convenient to say..." Lin Feng looked a little embarrassed. It's not that I don't want to tell her, he thought, but a topic concerning... well, *that*... is truly awkward to bring up...

"You're so stingy!" Cao Ying said, a little annoyed. Honestly, why is he being like this? she fumed internally. What could he and Dad have possibly discussed that he can't tell me about?

Lin Feng had been smiling playfully, but in an instant, his expression changed drastically. He suddenly sensed something. He grabbed Cao Ying and pulled them both down, diving towards the body of the Carrera GT.

"Lin Feng…" Cao Ying was suddenly embraced by Lin Feng, finding herself pressed back against the hood of the Carrera GT in an extremely suggestive position. Her mind went blank. Is Lin Feng... trying to molest me? she wondered, her thoughts in turmoil. Should I resist...?

"Open your mouth..." Lin Feng said, his expression urgent and a little panicked.

"You…" Cao Ying was furious. He's forcibly molesting me, and now he even wants me to cooperate?!

However, just as Cao Ying opened her mouth, in the next instant, an intense flash of light seared her vision. Immediately, the ground shook violently, followed by a deafening explosion, loud enough to shatter glass!

BOOM—!

Countless fragments scattered outwards. Cao Ying felt like a small boat tossed in a raging storm. Her ears were ringing violently, and she couldn't hear a thing. The only thing she could rely on was Lin Feng, whom she clung to tightly.

In the corner of the parking lot, the black BMW X5 was blasted two meters into the air by the explosion, crashing heavily onto another car. Immediately after, the gasoline in the fuel tanks of both vehicles ignited, engulfing them in roaring flames.

"Hmph, C4 plastic explosive!" Lin Feng sniffed the lingering scent of gunpowder in the air and snorted coldly, his brows furrowed. Although he and Cao Ying were more than thirty meters away from the exploding BMW, shrapnel and glass shards still hit his back, causing minor injuries.

"…Lin Feng... wh-what's going on?" Cao Ying stammered, nervously eyeing the two burning cars, so frightened she could barely speak.

"Someone planted a timed bomb on my car..." Lin Feng said, his eyes narrowed and teeth gritted, his voice as cold as ice. "Thank goodness you had me come over to look at this car. That's the only reason I'm still alive!"
