"President Yun, here is the R&D department's year-end achievement report!" Lin Zhijie, holding a stack of materials, arrived at the president's office and said, "Although our research results have not made any breakthroughs this year, we have made considerable progress in some areas! I guarantee that next year we will take another step up!"

Yun Hanrui smiled weakly, "All this is thanks to Brother Lin's help! Oh right, today is the last working day, why don't you go to the finance department to get some money to distribute some holiday bonuses for our colleagues in R&D, everyone has been working hard this year!"

Lin Zhijie smiled and said, "Then I will thank President Yun on behalf of our department's colleagues first!"

Yun Hanrui looked at the materials, but Lin Zhijie did not immediately leave. "Brother Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Zhijie looked at Yun Hanrui's delicate face, and a ripple emerged in his heart, "I see that you look somewhat unwell, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? With the New Year approaching, you really shouldn't fall ill at this time!"

A warm current rose in Yun Hanrui's heart. Compared to that stinky Ling Feng, Brother Lin was actually much more attentive.

"Lately, I've just been lacking some sleep, and my body might be a bit weak, nothing serious. A few days' rest over New Year should do the trick!" Yun Hanrui said with a smile, "Brother Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Zhijie hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll be returning home tomorrow, and I was wondering if I could have the honor of taking you out for a meal today?"

Tonight? Yun Hanrui hesitated, her first instinct was to think about whether to notify Ling Feng, but she immediately dismissed the thought.

"Hmph, do I need his permission to go out for a meal with someone? Ridiculous!" Yun Hanrui thought resentfully, "If you don't care about me, naturally someone else will!"

"Xiao Rui, what's wrong?" Lin Zhijie saw Yun Hanrui looking distracted, and couldn't help speaking with a tone of regret, "If it's not convenient for you..."

Yun Hanrui said, "Brother Lin, I want to know in what capacity you would like to invite me? As the head of the R&D department, or as my senior brother?"

"What's the difference?" Lin Zhijie touched his nose and said.

"If it's in the capacity of the head of R&D, I might have to think about it, but as my senior brother, as a junior sister, of course, I couldn't refuse, especially since you've helped me so much!" Yun Hanrui said with a smile.

Lin Zhijie grimaced and said, "To be safe, I'm inviting you in the capacity of a senior brother."

Yun Hanrui looked at her watch, "You set the time tonight, I also have some things I want to talk to you about!"

Lin Zhijie's heart trembled, Yun Hanrui has something she wants to tell me? Could it be... Thinking this, a smug smile appeared on Lin Zhijie's face.

"Yun Hanrui, you are my prey, I definitely won't let you get away!" Lin Zhijie thought darkly to himself.

Lin Zhijie left, and Yun Hanrui looked at her phone again, an irritable expression emerging on her face.

Ling Feng took those two strange people away, what happened after that, did Ling Feng get hurt? Did they do something to Ling Feng? And judging by the looks of those two, they were no good; what if they hurt Ling Feng?

Yun Hanrui picked up her phone, her fingers continuously swiping over it, "Stinky Ling Feng, don't you know to give me a call back? Don't you know how worried I am about you right now!"

After thinking it over, Yun Hanrui took a deep breath. Even if they were childhood friends, it wasn't too much for friends to care about each other, right?

With that thought in mind, Yun Hanrui dialed Ling Feng's number.

As the ringtone sounded, Yun Hanrui felt her heart rate quicken and a thin layer of sweat form on her palms.

Finally, the call connected, and Yun Hanrui heard a cacophony of noises mixed with wails and howls on the other end. She furrowed her brows, "Ling Feng, where are you right now? And… those two people?"

A muffled voice came through from Ling Feng's end, "I'm outside. I've already dealt with those two guys, so don't worry about it. That's it for now, I'm a bit busy here, gotta hang up!"

Beep beep beep… Yun Hanrui held the phone in her hand, her face somewhat stunned.

He hung up! That stinky rascal Ling Feng actually hung up on me!

Yun Hanrui's complexion turned a bit ashen. Here she was, worried sick, and he didn't even bother to update her after handling the matters. Now he's apparently out there… living it up, claiming he's busy?

"Humph, men really are a bunch of unreliable creatures!" Yun Hanrui thought resentfully.

Ling Feng said he was busy, so he must have been busy resisting the noise!

"Brother Ling, was that Sister-in-law on the phone?" Tang Fengxiao sat next to Ling Feng, his expression playful as he spoke, "Is Sister-in-law checking on you?"

Ling Feng replied with a scoff, "Checking on me? Who am I? I am Ling Feng. To me, your sister-in-law is like a little bunny. I could give her three more guts and she still wouldn't dare check up on me!"

Tang Fengxiao looked skeptical, "Really? Maybe I'll ask Sister-in-law about it next time we meet. I can't believe such a fierce woman turns into a bunny in front of you!"

Tang Fengxiao thought it was Bai Feifei's call, hence his disbelief.

Meanwhile, surrounded by wailing and howling, Feng Tianyi angrily laid down the handset and approached Tang Fengxiao, pointing at him and saying furiously, "Tang Fengxiao, all this time I treated you like a brother, but look how you treat me! Aren't you heartless? Just think, the reputation of second young master Feng, all ruined by you alone!"

Tang Fengxiao rolled his eyes, "So the criminal police caught you, and it's my fault, huh?"

"If not you, who else!" Feng Tianyi's expression swiftly changed to a fawning one, "If you had introduced me to Brother Ling sooner, wouldn't Sister-in-law and I be family by now? She might have turned a blind eye and I could've easily tricked my way through, right?"

Tang Fengxiao said with a cold laugh, "Luckily I didn't introduce you to Brother Ling beforehand, or else who knows how embarrassed Sister-in-law might have been! And here you are, not hiding out from the cops, instead trying to persuade prostitutes to reform in the red-light district. I'm speechless!"

However, Feng Tianyi nonchalantly replied, "Let me tell you, there are two types of men, one drags married women into the water, and the other persuades prostitutes to reform. I, Feng Tianyi, am dashing and known as the Handsome Young Master. How could I stoop to dragging married women down?"

"So you decided to persuade the prostitutes to reform?" Tang Fengxiao looked at him with disdain, "And got caught by the vice squad as a john?"

Feng Tianyi's mouth twitched, "It was an accident, just an accident!"

Ling Feng looked at Feng Tianyi with interest. Although it was his first time meeting Feng Tianyi, Ling Feng could tell at a glance that his abilities were exceptional.
