In the following days, Yun Hanrui seemed to be avoiding Ling Feng as she hurried to the company early in the morning.

And the fire that day, just as Wei Meizi had expected, was indeed reported in the news to have been caused by a villager's careless handling of firecrackers, which ignited nearby flammable and explosive materials, leading to the outbreak of the fire.

"At this time, we hope the general public pays attention to fire safety during the Spring Festival and avoids setting off fireworks and firecrackers in dangerous places…" Watching the news report, Yun Hanrui let out a heavy sigh.

"What's wrong with this world?" A look of confusion flickered through Yun Hanrui's eyes. The things Wei Meizi had talked about, combined with the news reports, had started to shake Yun Hanrui's resolve.

Must doing business necessarily involve dealing with politics? Is it really impossible to get by just by earnestly making products and doing research?

Thinking back to the day she threw herself at Ling Feng, Yun Hanrui's face instantly turned bright red. She still couldn't understand what force had driven her to do it!

"But Ling Feng's panicked look was really funny!" Yun Hanrui's lips couldn't help but curve into a gentle and beautiful arc.

Looking at the calendar, the smile on her face disappeared. Today was supposed to be the day Liu Tingyu returned to Yanjing. Ling Feng should be at the airport now, right?

Yun Hanrui clenched her hands tightly, and a look of determination gradually appeared in her confused eyes, as if she had made up her mind about something.

Meanwhile, at the airport, Ling Feng kept looking at his phone, a rare sensation of nervousness and anticipation in his heart!

Finally, within his expectant gaze, Ling Feng saw at the exit that familiar figure.

He hurried over: "Ting Yu!"

The figure turned around with surprise: "Ling Feng? You came?"

The two of them gazed at each other in the crowded stream of people, foolishly looking into each other's eyes. Although only seven or eight days had passed, it felt to them like seven or eight months had gone by!

"You've gained weight, you now look like a little chubby cat!" Ling Feng affectionately pinched Liu Tingyu's little nose.

Liu Tingyu pouted her lips: "Hmph, you faithless guy, do you despise me now? I'm getting angry!"

Ling Feng suddenly hugged Liu Tingyu tightly, as if trying to merge her into his own body.

Liu Tingyu also hugged Ling Feng back, clearly feeling the emotions Ling Feng had for her at that moment.

"Being chubby is good, it's more comfortable to hug!" Ling Feng whispered into Liu Tingyu's ear with a light laugh: "No matter what you become in this life, I will never let you leave me, you belong to me in this lifetime, the next lifetime, for all eternity!"

"Ling Feng!" Liu Tingyu's heart trembled, and a misty look flashed in her eyes: "Kiss me!"

In the midst of the crowd, the two of them kissed each other as if no one else was around.

Five minutes later, only when Liu Tingyu started to breathe heavily did they finally part lips.

"Ah!" Liu Tingyu suddenly let out a scream.

"What's wrong?" Ling Feng asked anxiously, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Liu Tingyu's face instantly turned bright red: "I forgot, my Aunt Wan is still here!"

Ling Feng looked up and saw behind Liu Tingyu a beautiful woman in her thirties or forties, smiling warmly at him and Liu Tingyu.

"Aunt Wan!" Liu Tingyu turned around, her face flushed and her head lowered as she said, "This is my boyfriend, Ling Feng! Ling Feng, this is my Aunt Wan."

"Oh, finally remembered your Aunt Wan, huh?" Xia Wan'er said with a teasing expression, holding her chest.

Ling Feng's heart secretly marveled, this Aunt Wan had a very special aura about her. Even though she concealed her presence perfectly, Ling Feng still sharply sensed that she was a super expert!

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Wan!" Ling Feng took Liu Tingyu's hand, stood in front of Xia Wan'er with confidence, and said, "This is our first meeting, I'm sorry I didn't notice Aunt Wan earlier."

Xia Wan'er waved her hand dismissively: "Never mind, it's obvious that Ting Yu has forgotten her aunt because she has a lover. Alright, I'm entrusting Ting Yu to you now. Ting Yu is the most precious treasure of our family. If you dare to mistreat our Ting Yu, I won't let you off easily!"

Ling Feng assured her seriously, "Rest assured, Aunt Wan, I will definitely protect Ting Yu well!"

Xia Wan'er laughed softly and then patted Liu Tingyu's shoulder: "Ting Yu, I'm leaving now, don't forget our agreement!" With that, Xia Wan'er winked at Liu Tingyu and left, pulling her suitcase behind her.

After Xia Wan'er had left, Ling Feng took Liu Tingyu's luggage: "Let's go, let's go have some delicious food!"

Meanwhile, at Meizi Club, Fang Zhengping was looking at Wei Meizi with a furious expression on his face.

"Why? Why! Not only did the fire fail to trouble Lin Feng, but it even gave him exposure! This is outrageous!" Fang Zhengping roared angrily.

Wei Meizi remained unaffected as she sipped her tea, seemingly oblivious to Fang Zhengping's rage.

"Meizi, why did you only start a fire that day? Didn't I instruct you? It would have been better if there had been some casualties. That way, no matter how capable Lin Feng is, he would be powerless to recover!" Fang Zhengping restrained the fury in his heart and said to Wei Meizi.

A hint of mockery flashed in Wei Meizi's eyes, but her face remained impassive as she replied: "True, your letter did say so, but plans cannot keep up with changes! The duty officers were all in the duty room, and if we had blown up the duty room, it would not be an accident. I think that even with your influence, you would not be able to cover it up, right?"

Fang Zhengping furrowed his brow, and Wei Meizi continued: "Actually, our plan was not entirely unsuccessful. Although Lin Feng indeed managed the situation properly and the emergency mechanisms were adequate, the fire has completely burned their construction materials. Even if they want to rebuild, it will take a significant amount of time and effort."

Fang Zhengping shook his head: "No, that's just a minor issue; it won't shake Lin Feng's foundation. If push comes to shove..."

A fierce gleam shone in Fang Zhengping's eyes: "If it really comes to that, we'll go directly after Chaoyang Group. I refuse to believe it, without Chaoyang Group's support, what would Lin Feng have to boost his credentials?"

Wei Meizi's hand paused before she spoke: "You want to take on Chaoyang Group? That's not a good idea. Chaoyang Group is under strong attention from above; be careful not to lose more than you try to steal."

Fang Zhengping let out a cold laugh and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave behind any evidence! And I think that snatching the merit from Lin Feng's hands would be more satisfying than destroying the project!"

With that, Fang Zhengping picked up the red wine from the table and downed it in one gulp, a drop of red wine trailing down from the corner of his mouth, looking as striking as blood.
