Ling Zhenfei was at a loss for words and could only let out a bitter sigh. He looked at Yang Zixuan with a puzzled and somewhat reproachful gaze, asking, "Zi Xuan, seriously, this business trip is really not suitable for you, so why did you insist on taking on this tough job?"

"Thank you, Big Brother Ling, I know. But please don't worry, I am aware of what I'm doing and nothing will happen," replied Yang Zixuan with a smile to Ling Zhenfei. She then calmly continued, "Besides, I don't want President Lin to misunderstand me. You should not go with me; I can take care of myself!"

After saying this, Yang Zixuan turned around and left.

"Zi..."

Ling Zhenfei was anxious and was about to call out to her to stop her, but Yang Zixuan walked away quickly and was out of sight in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that today, his good intentions had not only failed to please anyone but made him an annoying bother to both parties.

Helplessly, Ling Zhenfei could only shake his head, sigh, and take the elevator downstairs.

After everyone had vanished from the hallway, a figure emerged from the shadows.

This person was none other than Du Kongting.

As he watched the closing elevator doors, Du Kongting's eyes were rapidly contracting, and he let out a series of cold snorts, "Ling Zhenfei, I know you're powerful, and I also know that I can't beat you using any other method!

But what if you are strong? You are still human, and every human has weaknesses, desires, and cannot escape the entanglements of emotion. Sentimentality is your weakness. As long as I firmly grab hold of your weakness and make you sink into the complexities of multiple emotions, I have no worry of not being able to play you out!"

Having said those words in a sinister tone, Du Kongting's eyes flashed with a strange smile as he turned and left.

Du Kongting thought he had a foolproof plan, but little did he expect, shortly after he disappeared, the closed elevator doors slowly opened again.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Ling Zhenfei's cold face was revealed. He had used the "Perspective Eye" to spot Du Kongting spying from the shadows earlier. He had pretended to enter the elevator, closed the doors, but had not pressed a button for any floor.

Du Kongting, in his conceit, had failed to notice this detail, and every word he spoke had been heard by Ling Zhenfei without missing a single one.

It seemed that Ling Zhenfei's suspicions were indeed correct; Lin Yuluo had been instigated by Du Kongting all along, which explained her significant prejudice against Yang Zixuan. However, thanks to Du Kongting's recent gloating, Ling Zhenfei felt reassured about Yang Zixuan's safety.

Since Du Kongting's plan involved sowing discord between him and the two women, he certainly wouldn't resort to harming Yang Zixuan in secret.

This meant that Yang Zixuan's business trip would not be dangerous, and there was no need for him to take the risk of upsetting Lin Yuluo by accompanying her.

However, even though Yang Zixuan's danger was eliminated, Du Kongting was still lurking in the company, plotting against him at any moment. This scourge had to be eradicated soon, or it would lead to endless trouble.

Staring in the direction where Du Kongting had vanished, Ling Zhenfei fell into deep thought...

He had to deal with the petty Du Kongting.

Considering that the old fox no longer posed a threat to Yang Zixuan, and Han Lian still wanted to use him to lure out those international drug traffickers, Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to let the old fox leap around for a few more days. He would settle both their old and new scores later.

Seeing the jealousy in Lin Yuluo's eyes, Ling Zhenfei's own eyes revealed a sense of helplessness.

Although after receiving the Medical God's legacy, his career had skyrocketed and he had found great success as if he was a fish back in water. When it came to handling emotional issues, he still felt very muddled, not knowing how to manage the relationships between the women he loved.

Of course, since ancient times, the hurdle of love has been the toughest to conquer. Heroes struggle to cross the threshold of beauty, let alone being caught between two beauties like Lin Yuluo and Yang Zixuan. Ling Zhenfei really didn't know how to choose.

Since he couldn't make a decision for the time being, Ling Zhenfei decided not to dwell on this problem and hurriedly left Lin's Group. For the moment, the only thing he could do was 'out of sight, out of mind'!

Ling Zhenfei was feeling depressed and was about to walk home to clear his mind when suddenly he received a call from Fatty.

"Hello, boss, do you have time right now? I've pretty much sorted out the ornamental fish breeding base. That little Japanese guy, Ikeda Yasushi, also delivered all the Koi we asked for without missing a single one. I'm here with Old Qiao at the base right now, do you want to come over and take a look?"

Over the phone, Fatty's voice was tinged with excitement.

For the past few days, Ling Zhenfei had entrusted the management of the ornamental fish breeding base entirely to him.

This Fatty was extremely dedicated to the task, neglecting even the business of his own restaurant to stay busy at the base all day long.

Now he was calling to report the good news to Ling Zhenfei.

"Alright, I'll be right there!"

Ling Zhenfei was feeling annoyed about Lin Yuluo's jealousy when he suddenly heard this good news from Fatty. Joy filled his heart, and without further ado, he rushed straight to the base.

The ornamental fish breeding base, although called a base, was actually just a slightly larger fish farm.

Moreover, the fish farm was pre-existing, with people previously breeding some high-end fish species there. Later, due to poor management, it was acquired by Fatty at a low price.

Fatty made some slight modifications to the place, adding several large insulated glass fish tanks next to the fish farm and hooking them up with oxygen, specifically for breeding high-end ornamental fish like Koi and Golden Arowanas.

As for the fish ponds nearby, Fatty set aside some with high-quality water, for breeding some middle and low-range tropical fish, in preparation for expanding into the lower-end market later.

Although Ling Zhenfei had always been a hands-off owner, he still cared a great deal about the properties under his name.

He had visited the base a few times during its renovation. Familiar with the route, it took him less than twenty minutes to arrive at the entrance of the base.

"Boss, you're here?"

Fatty was talking to Old Qi and, seeing Ling Zhenfei from afar, greeted him with a beaming smile.

Pointing at the newly installed large transparent fish tanks and the Koi fry just placed inside, Fatty excitedly said to Ling Zhenfei, "Boss, it looks like we really beat that little Japanese guy, Ikeda, good last time. This time he didn't dare to fool us at all.

The Koi fry he's supplied us with are the best, and the price is very fair; there's nothing to complain about. Look how lively these fish are, each one spirited and brimming with energy, just like Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

"Psh, wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace? Aren't you concerned that these fish will break the tanks?"

Ling Zhenfei gave Fatty an unamused glance and laughed, "Fatty, you better take good care of these bosses; they're all very valuable. Each one is our own God of Wealth!"

"Heh heh, you're right, boss," Fatty replied.

"Then I'll leave the fish farm in your hands from now on. If there's anything you need, just let me know. There are still many things to take care of at the villa now."
