After dealing with the matters at hand, Secretary Lin hastily returned to the city center, although he was unaware of who was conspiring against him, but his aspiration to join the permanent committee was not a secret within the upper echelons!

Wherever there are people, there are inevitably undercurrents of rivalry, and it goes without saying in the upper circles of Huaxia's power, the intermingling of interests was particularly complex. Anyone with business ties to Secretary Lin could potentially be the schemer behind this!

Instead of expending energy searching for the invisible hand, it was better to solidify his own work. As long as his political achievements were notable, nothing else would be a problem! Besides, even if the hidden adversary was found, so what? If it was him this time, it might be another rival the next time. Hence, spending all effort to find this hidden adversary was an unprofitable deal.

Secretary Lin left, but Yun Hanrui and others stayed behind a while longer. On one hand, Yun Hanrui comforted the frightened employees, and on the other, she took the opportunity to check on the project's progress and inspect whether the work met the standards!

However, after the inspections, Yun Hanrui was very satisfied with Guo Xiaodong's Dongfeng Construction Company; the completion rate of the project was very high. If nothing went awry, the entire framework of the Biotech Park could be established within half a year!

On the way back, Yun Hanrui sat in the back seat conversing with Mu Ziyi about who knows what, while Ling Feng was relegated to the driver, and Ting Yu sat in the passenger seat.

"I've missed you so much these days when I couldn't see you," Ting Yu said softly while looking at the man beside her, her eyes glowing gently.

Ling Feng smiled slightly and clasped Ting Yu's hand, "Me too, but Xiao Rui is really annoying. We could have spent this winter break together, yet she had to disrupt us, it makes me so mad!"

"Sister Yun is just looking out for me!" Ting Yu whispered back. "I had just entered the company when Sister Yun entrusted me with a significant responsibility. She really takes good care of me, so please help her as much as you can."

Despite not being very clear about Chen Tao's status, Ting Yu, from Chen Tao's respectful demeanor, knew that Ling Feng held an exceptional status in their hearts. Together with Ting Yu's own status, she was also well aware of Ling Feng's influence, which led her to make such a comment!

Inside, Ling Feng was sweating bullets; if Ting Yu knew that he had spanked Yun Hanrui in the room, she probably wouldn't be speaking so kindly to him, would she?

Ling Feng involuntarily glanced at Yun Hanrui through the rearview mirror, and at the same time, Yun Hanrui looked back at him. Her face, initially smiling, quickly froze into an icy demeanor, causing Ling Feng to shudder uncontrollably!

Yun Hanrui was getting colder by the day; Ling Feng really wondered whether Brother Lin could handle her!

"By the way, Ting Yu, are you going home alone for the New Year?" Ling Feng asked.

Ting Yu's face flushed, "Of course, I'm going home alone... This time I really should bring up our situation in advance. Next time... next time, let's go back together, okay?"

Seeing the pleading in Ting Yu's eyes, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh softly, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"

As the car traveled halfway, while passing through a stretch of woods, Ling Feng suddenly noticed that the road ahead was blocked by several huge trees!

"Not good, something's wrong!" Ling Feng's expression darkened, a foreboding feeling enveloping his heart.

"What's happening?" Ling Feng suddenly stopped the car, causing Yun Hanrui's body to jerk and hit the car door. She couldn't help but ask, "Why the sudden brake?"

Ling Feng said seriously, "We're in trouble! Ziyi, take good care of Xiao Rui and Ting Yu. Leave the outside matters to me!"

With those words, Ling Feng opened the car door and stepped out.

The sky was dark, and the desolate woods seemed to hide an ancient behemoth, giving one the sensation of being devoured!

"You who hide but reveal yourself, come out now!" Ling Feng shouted sharply.

Yet there was no echo at all, as if the woods had swallowed up Ling Feng's voice. But the feeling of oppression emanating from within the forest grew ever stronger.

A cold wind blew, and Ling Feng smelled a stench of blood. Soon after, from the depths of the forest, three pairs of oily green eyes appeared, and low growls intermittently echoed.

Ling Feng licked his lips, his eyes showing a look of disdain, "I killed one hybrid before, and now another appears. Are you a breeding ground for hybrids, exclusively producing them?"

"Roar!" As if understanding Ling Feng's words, a roar came from the woods, followed by a creature the size of a small calf bursting forth!

"Ah!" Inside the car, except for Mu Ziyi, both Yun Hanrui and Liu Tingyu involuntarily exclaimed upon seeing the creature.

For this creature surpassed their understanding, an entity that couldn't possibly exist in the real world!

A gigantic dog with three heads, three gaping mouths, three pairs of fierce, oily green eyes, sharp claws, and a muscular body — it looked exactly like the legendary Hell's Three-Headed Dog!

But this was the real world, how could such a creature appear? Yun Hanrui asked in a trembling voice, "Ziyi, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Mu Ziyi's expression was serious, "Sister, I must tell you, all of this is real! Moreover, this beast is very powerful, almost too much even for me to handle!"

"What about Ling Feng…" Yun Hanrui's gaze showed her worry.

Although she hadn't liked Ling Feng initially and hadn't been fond of him, her contact and childhood memories as playmates made Yun Hanrui regard Ling Feng as part of her family. Although she was still uncertain about her feelings for Ling Feng, she understood that Ling Feng already held an important place in her heart!

Now, with Ling Feng outside facing such an inconceivable beast, he was just an ordinary human. How could he possibly stand a chance against the giant dog!

"Ziyi, quickly get Ling Feng into the car! What if Ling Feng dies!" Yun Hanrui's voice carried a sob, "Aren't you very capable? Can't you go and save Ling Feng?"

Liu Tingyu looked at Yun Hanrui in surprise, the emotions she displayed shocking Liu Tingyu.

However, Liu Tingyu was different from Yun Hanrui; she had complete confidence in Ling Feng, believing that if he went out, he must be fully assured of his own safety!

Mu Ziyi shook her head, "I'm sorry, sister, my duty is to protect you, and... Ling Feng probably doesn't need my protection anyway!"

As she spoke, Mu Ziyi looked out the window, murmuring, "He's very strong, the first person I've seen at such a young age stronger than me!"

Ling Feng, however, was not deliberately listening to the conversation inside the car. His attention was fully focused on the three-headed dog.

Smelling the repulsive scent emanating from the three-headed dog, Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter? Still sending such lowly beasts? Are you really like rats that lurk in the night, afraid of the light?"
