Ling Feng smiled wryly as he shook his head. He recalled that last time, during Yun Hanrui's kidnapping case, it was he who had sealed Yun Hanrui's memory of the incident. No wonder she had no sense of urgency! It seemed that he had only himself to blame.

"Xiao Rui, do you remember the last kidnapping case?" Ling Feng said in a somber tone, "Although the perpetrators were caught last time, their mastermind has yet to reveal themselves, so you're actually still in danger!"

Yun Hanrui looked at Ling Feng's serious expression and couldn't help muttering, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated? I haven't encountered any danger these days!"

"There's no danger? If there's no danger, then why would the higher-ups send Mu Ziyi to protect you? Do you know Mu Ziyi's true strength? Do you know her identity?" Ling Feng said indifferently.

Yun Hanrui was taken aback. She only knew that Mu Ziyi was a highly skilled master who loved gourmet food, a cute girl. She really didn't know much about her background, and even when she did ask, Mu Ziyi would clench her teeth and refuse to talk.

"Mu Ziyi hails from Huaxia's Special Forces," Ling Feng stated plainly. "She may be young, but she possesses the strength to rapidly kill the current so-called War King. Do you think the higher-ups have nothing better to do than to assign such a young and promising talent to protect you personally?"

Yun Hanrui's face changed color. If what Ling Feng was saying was true, then there was only one possibility—she was indeed in an extremely dangerous situation!

Yun Hanrui's change in expression did not escape Ling Feng's eyes. Ling Feng sighed and said, "Now do you understand why I'm angry? Your rash decision to come here could easily have led to an attack by the mastermind behind the scenes. Although you're protected by Mu Ziyi, she is just one person after all, and it's difficult to fight off multiple attackers at once.

If anything were to happen, what would you have Uncle Yun do?"

Yun Hanrui fell silent.

Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It looked like she wasn't going to dwell on the incident of him spanking her any longer!

In fact, a big part of why Ling Feng had resorted to physical discipline was because Yun Hanrui had been too impulsive, considering that an organization with Werewolves had its eyes on her. Their failure definitely caused significant damage to that organization!

At the same time, it also proved that the organization was determined to have Yun Hanrui.

So when he saw how stubbornly unrepentant Yun Hanrui appeared, Ling Feng found the anger inside him hard to suppress.

If Yun Hanrui were to tell Uncle Yun about this, he would truly be ashamed in front of Uncle Yun!

"But... what does this have to do with you hitting... with your hitting me!" Yun Hanrui lifted her head and said coldly, "Ling Feng, I see right through you. You just enjoy bullying me! I will definitely tell my dad!"

Ling Feng's face turned bitter, but what he didn't notice was the mocking glint that flashed through Yun Hanrui's eyes.

Of course, Yun Hanrui wouldn't speak of such an embarrassing incident! Not to mention that she found herself harboring some fondness for what had happened.

"Could it be that I'm falling for Ling Feng?" Yun Hanrui thought to herself because she realized that in front of Ling Feng, she completely lost her usual calm and composure.

And this feeling was something she had never experienced with anyone else before! This left her somewhat puzzled, so before getting an answer, she decided to keep things as they were, if one day she was certain of her feelings...

Yun Hanrui glanced at Ling Feng and thought to herself, "I, Yun Hanrui, will not admit defeat, not before, and certainly not in the future!"

Secretary Lin soon arrived. With such a big incident occurring, he rushed over as soon as he heard the news. Fortunately, there had been no major disturbances, nor had any reporters followed up, otherwise it would have been a severe blow to him, perhaps even shattering his hopes of climbing higher!

With Secretary Lin taking charge, Yun Hanrui and the others naturally stepped back behind the scenes. After all, it was better to leave such matters to Secretary Lin. If handled properly, it could even become a significant achievement on his record!

However, when Secretary Lin saw Chen Tao and his group, a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes. As a secretary, he naturally knew the significance of the Flame Security Company that Chen Tao represented!

But since they had indirectly helped him this time, he couldn't really say anything! Instead, he had to express the appropriate gratitude.

Chen Tao and the others were very tactful, stating that they had come only because of Yun Hanrui, which made Secretary Lin regard Yun Hanrui with renewed respect!

To a politician, a mere businessman, no matter how powerful, is just a piece of fat that can be disposed of at will. But when capital, the underworld, and politics are entwined, the energy released is far greater than the sum of the three!

If previously Secretary Lin had merely considered Chaoyang Biotechnology as a tool to enhance his political achievements, now that Chaoyang Biotechnology was implicated with Flame Hall, he would have to seriously consider how to treat Chaoyang Biotechnology!

At least, at certain times, he couldn't simply use Chaoyang Biotechnology as a shield or a sacrificial pawn! Yun Hanrui did not see this, but Ling Feng saw it very clearly!

After Secretary Lin's investigation, the truth soon came to light. It turned out that the village committee of the original demolition village had misappropriated the demolition funds to cover the holes created by their gambling. The relevant personnel had been taken into custody, and the funds recovered.

Secretary Lin promised on the spot that all the demolition funds would be distributed within three days, which sent the villagers home in joy.

Though the issue seemed resolved to everyone's satisfaction, a grave expression remained on Secretary Lin's face. Although the problem was solved, the criminals involved were just small fry. Behind them, there definitely lay a significant force!

However, this force had not revealed itself.

"Crown Prince, the plan has failed!" After dealing with these matters, a man in the shadows took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Is that so? Since it has failed, come back then," Prince Ye said indifferently, "Were our actions clean?"

"Rest assured, Crown Prince, we merely guided the situation without taking direct action. Even if they bring in the Detective, they won't be able to trace it back to us!" the man said arrogantly.

"That's good," came the Crown Prince's voice, "Come back. Anyway, I didn't harbor the intention to completely topple Lin Suifeng. It's nice to have caused him some trouble this time!"

In the Taizi Club, Ye Tian put down his phone, a cold smile appearing on his face: "This time was just a warning for you. If you continue to be obstinate... Ye Family, I will eventually eradicate your power one by one. When that time comes, we will meet on the battlefield!"
