Back then, Madam Chen fled abroad and later established the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group. Although firmly rooted in Singapore now, with Huaxia's rapid advancement, they keenly realized that Huaxia is undoubtedly one of the future centers for global development. No matter how developed Singapore is, in terms of market size, scale, or potential, it simply cannot compare with Huaxia!

This is precisely why they want to return to the country. On one hand, they are using patriotism and ancestral roots as their banner; on the other hand, they want to leverage the current influence of the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group to secure a greater share of benefits for Madam Chen.

Although Ling Feng saw through their intentions, Madam Chen was employing an open strategy. With the power Asia-Pacific Biotech Group currently holds, Yanjing City would find it difficult to refuse the olive branch they've extended. Compromise was only a matter of time.

"So what's your plan now?" Ling Feng asked Yun Hanrui.

Yun Hanrui said, "I've already expressed my stance to Secretary Lin—that I won't compromise! But judging by Secretary Lin's reaction… Madam Chen has already influenced him! His attitude has wavered compared to before!"

Ling Feng's face turned icy: "On one hand, they want to use their group's power to pressure Secretary Lin and suppress our Chaoyang Group, while on the other hand, they're trying to steal my wall's cornerstone—pursuing my girlfriend. Their Asia-Pacific Biotech Group really knows how to play their cards!"

"Xiao Rui, don't worry. Leave this matter to me!" Ling Feng said nonchalantly.

Given Ling Feng's current status, intervening in this matter wouldn't require much effort. After all, Ling Feng is now the apprentice of the new Dragon King, and he is fully capable of influencing certain policy implementations in Yanjing City.

Upon hearing Ling Feng's promise, Yun Hanrui looked visibly relieved. In the past, based on her personality, she would never have brought this matter up to Ling Feng. She'd have handled it in her own way.

But now, she understood that in a partnership, mutual support and reliance are the most important things. While she had confidence she could resolve the issue on her own through strength and determination, she knew Ling Feng, as her man, wouldn't be happy about it!

Thus, Yun Hanrui began to change gradually, learning to rely on Ling Feng. And she realized this feeling wasn't half bad!

After dinner, Ling Feng decisively took on the task of washing the dishes. Once he finished, he brought out a plate of sliced fruit and found the three girls lounging on the sofa watching a popular TV show.

"Come, have some dragon fruit!" Ling Feng placed the fruit plate on the coffee table and smoothly took the middle seat.

The four of them watched TV, ate fruit, and chatted. A warm and cozy atmosphere surrounded them.

As night fell, a serious question emerged in Ling Feng's mind: Where exactly should he sleep tonight?

Looking at the three lovely and charming girls before him, Ling Feng's thoughts ran wild, but he knew that dreaming of all three sleeping under the same blanket was an almost impossible scenario.

"It's getting late; time to sleep!" Ling Feng yawned deliberately and said, "After flying all day, I'm exhausted!"

The three girls exchanged glances, their faces tinted with a slight blush.

"Ling Feng, we've already tidied up your bedroom!" Liu Tingyu said, trying to appear composed. "Go take a shower first and head straight to your room after. Your blanket is all set since we've been airing it frequently while you were away."

"That's right! During the days you were gone, we regularly aired your blanket," Yun Hanrui added, her face red. "Go take a shower quickly!"

Ling Feng was a bit baffled. Did they misunderstand his implied meaning? But as a modern, courteous young man, Ling Feng wasn't bold enough to make things overly explicit.

"Maybe it's because there's too much 'meat' and too few 'wolves'?" Ling Feng shrugged. At any rate, he truly was tired; his nerves had been constantly on edge abroad, and only upon returning home did he feel genuinely relaxed.

Yawning, Ling Feng said, "Alright then, I'll go shower. Don't stay up too late watching TV; get some rest early!"

Since the three girls showed no significant reaction, Ling Feng resigned himself to spending the night alone in his room. He decided to take a shower and go to bed early.

After washing away his fatigue and emerging from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Ling Feng found that the three girls had already retreated to their respective rooms.

"Weird. I can't shake the feeling they're hiding something from me!" Ling Feng muttered, then returned to his bedroom.

"Hmm? What's this?" Ling Feng spotted three keys on the blanket covering his bed, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Three keys? What's the deal here? Is this some kind of signal? Are they asking me to choose?" Ling Feng's blood started to boil, and his mind ran wild with thoughts. He felt a sudden surge of excitement, spurred by an inner voice urging him to seize victory and penetrate deep into enemy territory!

Licking his lips, Ling Feng picked up the keys on the blanket. "My little darlings, here I come!"

Wrapped in his towel, Ling Feng crept over to Liu Tingyu's bedroom door. He looked at the keys in his hand. "Which one is the right one?"

"Forget it; I'll just try them one by one!" Ling Feng thought to himself, selecting the leftmost key.

"It doesn't fit? Guess it's not this one. Let's try another!" Ling Feng thought again, raising the middle key.

"Still wrong!" Ling Feng frowned. "Only one left now!"

When even the last key didn't fit, Ling Feng's frown deepened into a scowl. "None of them work? Did those three trick me?"

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng gently twisted the doorknob—and heard a soft click as the door opened.

"So they left it unlocked? If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered testing the keys!" Ling Feng sighed in relief, thinking Liu Tingyu was still sweet and considerate.

But upon entering, he found her room was completely empty—no blanket, cold bedding, nothing!

Ling Feng frowned again, feeling as though a bucket of cold water had drenched his heated enthusiasm.

He realized the three girls had set him up.

Ling Feng stormed out and rushed into Yun Hanrui's room. Sure enough, her room was equally empty.

Seeing this, Ling Feng smirked. No use checking Wei Meizi's room either—it would undoubtedly also be empty!

The three of them left keys in his room with the sole intention of misleading him and toying with him.

"Well played! You've successfully provoked me!" Ling Feng chuckled darkly. "You think you can hide in this villa and escape my grasp?"

With that, Ling Feng closed his eyes, unleashing his Divine Sense to envelop the entire villa. It didn't take long for him to locate the three mischievous ones.

In the third-floor surveillance room, the three girls were thoroughly enjoying the sight of Ling Feng storming into Liu Tingyu and Yun Hanrui's rooms, replayed on the monitors.
