Master Nangong closed his eyes, displaying an expression of pure enjoyment.

At this moment, the girl behind him spoke: "Sir, last night Number One and the others waited all night, but Ling Zhenfei never showed up. Our plan failed."

Master Nangong still with his eyes closed, said softly: "Ling Zhenfei is a clever person, and he's surrounded by clever people. The reason Ling Zhenfei initially fell into my trap step by step is because he was unguarded at the beginning.

Now it's different. He's on guard, like in a game of chess. Once in a passive position at the start, he became flustered. The more flustered, the quicker the defeat.

But someone was there to remind him, so he's aware of his weaknesses. Now he's calmly sitting down to have a good game with me."

The woman blinked her phoenix eyes and said: "That's right. Early this morning, Ling Zhenfei sat by the edge of the Sky Garden, seemingly in a chess-playing posture."

Master Nangong snorted coldly and said: "With most of his pieces taken, deciding to play properly now is a bit too late, isn't it?"

The woman said: "So what should we do now?"

Master Nangong thought for a moment and said: "Our goal was never to kill him. Ling Zhenfei's reputation online is already very tarnished; it's time to add fuel to the fire."

Master Nangong picked up a black piece and placed it heavily on the chessboard, muttering to himself: "I've blocked all directions, let's see how you survive now."

Ling Zhenfei was sitting in the Sky Garden looking at his computer when suddenly a woman approached from below. She was wearing a tight-fitting leather suit, showcasing a remarkably fiery figure.

Her red hair was like burning flames, truly stunning, attracting the gaze of every man. Her high heels were at least ten centimeters tall, ticking with every step.

The woman walked up to the Sky Garden and sat in the seat behind Ling Zhenfei, sitting back to back with him.

The woman ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and then quietly took in the view.

This woman was, of course, Phoenix; only Phoenix could have such a high rate of turning heads.

"Hello handsome, we meet again." Phoenix linked her Divine Sense with Ling Zhenfei's, teasingly asking.

"Finally, you're here, beauty. But with such a dramatic entrance, were you afraid no one would notice you?"

Phoenix said: "You sure have a lot of issues. I came to save you out of kindness, but what I wear is none of your business. Maybe I'm just too pretty, you might get a nosebleed."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I've only heard of a devilishly good figure before; now I'm seeing it. But what can your devilish figure do for me?"

Phoenix laughed and said: "I can help you release fire."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I'd rather not. Getting more heated, I didn't see how you could help me dissipate the fire."

Phoenix said: "You lecherous fool, with a beautiful woman in front of you plotting others, no wonder you get into so much trouble. I bet your troubles won't end soon."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Liking women is just admiring beauty. I'm just good at appreciating beauty. Women are artworks meant to be admired."

Phoenix said: "Artworks, huh? Your whole family is artworks, spare me your flattery. I've heard sweet talk enough. They sent me to help you, so tell me how."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I've been framed. Now I just need to find three people. The first is Nangong Changhe, the old guy who arranged all this, but he has two Dawen Initial Stage experts by his side."

"The second person is Xu Liang. They say I took Xu Liang and he disappeared. I don't know where he went. As long as we find him, we can learn the truth, clearing half of my grievances."

"The third person is a woman named Song Jiaqi. On the day, she flew to Tangcheng on the same plane as me, and there's someone exactly like her named Song Jiahui.

Now Song Jiahui and Song Jiaqi are confused by everyone, and the police think Song Jiahui is Song Jiaqi, but I don't think they're the same person."

Phoenix paused for a few seconds before saying: "Can you repeat that? I don't think I understood."

Ling Zhenfei, feeling helpless, explained the situation to Phoenix in detail, which finally made her understand.

"Are you so certain Song Jiaqi and Song Jiahui aren't the same person? Do you have any evidence?" Phoenix asked, surprised.

Ling Zhenfei said: "It's just a feeling. Check the passengers who flew that day; it must be traceable, even if not by name."

"And what if you find her? Do you think Song Jiaqi will testify for you?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said: "I think it should be fine. She doesn't seem like a bad girl; I can tell."

Phoenix said: "Alright, I'll do that then. By the way, I booked a room in this hotel, right next to yours. Visit if you have time."

After saying this, Phoenix stood up and walked outside, followed by the gazes of those men.

He Lingxiu, of course, also noticed Phoenix and said to Ling Zhenfei: "Oh Brother Fei, look how beautiful that lady is."

Ling Zhenfei only nodded without speaking. How could He Lingxiu know that Ling Zhenfei not only knew Phoenix but had also just had such a conversation with her?

After Phoenix left, Ling Zhenfei resumed browsing news when a Weibo post drew much attention.

The Weibo named Tangcheng News, the very one that specially featured Ling Zhenfei in the late-night report.

Normally, Tangcheng News is a somewhat authoritative media. So why was it so irresponsible in its reporting, astonishing Ling Zhenfei?

One has to realize TV news isn't like online news; it must go through extremely strict review before airing. Because of this, many people, even if skeptical of online sources, trust TV news, which led many to doubt Ling Zhenfei.

It seems that the head of Tangcheng News likely has issues, perhaps receiving some benefits.

At this time, Tangcheng News spoke up again.

Tangcheng News' Weibo posted a message stating that the previously reported Ling Zhenfei, involved in a public brawl and disappearance case, had been summoned by the police since noon yesterday and didn't return to the hotel until after 10 pm. Tangcheng News, which places high emphasis on the ethics of unscrupulous celebrities, focuses intensely on this matter and has conducted a comprehensive investigation.

They announced that this issue will be covered in the upcoming afternoon program "Legal World," and they hope everyone concerned with the incident won't forget to watch.

Ling Zhenfei was truly angry. This was akin to pushing him into a pit of fire.
