137: A toad lusting after a swan.

When the three of them finished their statements and walked out of the police station together, it was already nearly eleven o'clock.

Chen Yuqing had long since recovered. As the three of them got into the car, Chen Yuqing finally spoke up: "Zifeng, thank you so much for today."

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Lin Zifeng replied quickly.

"By the way, how did you suddenly appear in the Provincial Level capital, and why were you coincidentally with Yuxi?"

Chen Yuqing finally had the opportunity to ask the question that had been puzzling her.

"It's like this, Sis. Zifeng is here to attend a three-month training class for Division Level Cadres held at the Provincial Level.

We happened to run into each other this afternoon and had dinner together.

When you called me, Zifeng and I had just finished dinner and were about to part ways when I received your call.

So, Zifeng accompanied me to go rescue you."

Before Lin Zifeng could answer, Chen Yuxi rushed to reply.

Hearing Chen Yuxi's explanation, Chen Yuqing felt a bit suspicious, sensing that something wasn't quite right, but she didn't dwell on it.

After the turmoil of the night, Chen Yuqing was exhausted, so she said: "Since you aren't leaving the Provincial Level capital for the time being, let me find time another day to treat you to a meal to thank you!

I'm not feeling well, and this is quite close to my home. Yuxi, take me home first!

You go through the trouble of taking Zifeng back to school after dropping me off!"

Chen Yuqing's suggestion suited both of them perfectly, so Chen Yuxi agreed and drove toward Chen Yuqing's home.

Chen Yuqing was thinking about her child at home and couldn't help but think to herself: "I want to get home early for the sake of your son, it's not that I'm being rude, so please just bear with it!"

"You saved me today; perhaps it was fated by destiny!"

While she was lost in thought, Chen Yuxi drove the car to the building where Chen Yuqing lived.

After getting out of the car, Chen Yuqing gave Lin Zifeng a look full of gratitude before waving her hand and turning to walk upstairs.

The two of them returned home, and after some passion, they fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months of Lin Zifeng's life at the school had passed.

Accompanied by Chen Yuxi, Chen Yuqing treated him to dinner twice, which made both him and Chen Yuxi feel a bit tired from the act.

Later, when Chen Yuqing invited him to dinner again, he refused on the grounds that he had to write his thesis.

His economics thesis had long been finished and submitted to the lecturer.

The economics thesis he wrote was very forward-looking and received unanimous praise from the lecturer and senior management!

Seeing that two-thirds of the entire training period had already passed, the students were connecting more frequently in private.

They would use their spare time to take the opportunity to deepen their relationships.

Because most people felt that using this opportunity to study at the Party School to deepen their relationships with other students would be beneficial for their future development.

Perhaps among these people, a high-ranking official would emerge in the future who could give them a helping hand at a critical moment!

Therefore, every evening, small groups would go out to eat and drink.

Lin Zifeng didn't like social engagements, but being in such an environment, he couldn't stay out of it.

On Tuesday evening, the class monitor Wang Chusheng invited him and Zhang Zimo out for dinner for the second time; he had refused the first time.

If he refused again this time, it wouldn't be very polite, so he had to agree.

The group of six asked for leave, walked out of the Party School together, hailed two Taxis, and headed toward the hotel Wang Chusheng had booked.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the six of them got out of the car one after another and walked into the hotel.

Just as he walked into the hotel lobby, Lin Zifeng saw a familiar figure; this person was none other than Chen Yuqing, who had come to treat a business partner to dinner.

At the same time he saw Chen Yuqing, she also saw him.

Upon seeing him, Chen Yuqing's beautiful large eyes lit up, and she walked gracefully toward him in her high heels.

Seeing Chen Yuqing walking toward them, Zhang Zimo and the others stared blankly.

They hadn't expected to meet such a stunning beauty here, and even more so that she was walking toward them.

Now, except for Lin Zifeng, everyone was desperately searching their memories to see if they had any connection with Chen Yuqing, but they regretfully discovered that they didn't know her at all and had never met her before.

Just then, Chen Yuqing arrived in front of Lin Zifeng and smiled brightly.

"Zifeng, are you out for dinner with your classmates? What a coincidence."

The others all looked at Lin Zifeng in surprise.

"Yeah, I'm accompanying my classmates for dinner. Do you have a social engagement?"

Lin Zifeng said casually.

"I'm hosting an important business partner to discuss some new collaborations. You and your classmates go in first! I'll wait for the business partner."

"Alright, then we'll go in first."

Lin Zifeng agreed and walked inside.

The group walked into the Private Room together, and Zhang Zimo couldn't help but ask: "Zifeng, was that impossibly beautiful woman just now your girlfriend?

You're quite lucky, you really have great fortune with women! We were all staring blankly just now.

Your girlfriend is prettier than a female movie star!"

The others nodded enviously, agreeing with Zhang Zimo.

"Everyone, don't misunderstand. She is just a good friend of mine; my girlfriend is someone else."

He quickly explained.

Hearing his answer, four of them looked regretful, but only Li Liang's eyes lit up.

The reason the five of them showed completely different expressions was that four of them were already married, and these four felt that, given Lin Zifeng's appearance and temperament, he was a perfect match for Chen Yuqing.

They all felt it was a pity that the two couldn't be together.

However, Li Liang, like Lin Zifeng, was still unmarried, so Li Liang quickly approached Lin Zifeng and said ingratiatingly: "Younger Brother Zifeng, since that's the case, can you introduce this great beauty to me?"

Everyone knew what Li Liang was thinking and wanted to see how Lin Zifeng would respond.

Lin Zifeng was slightly displeased, but he didn't show it.

"Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to help! It's that I can't do that. The reason is very simple: she is a staunch non-marriage advocate.

Just a while ago, someone who had a crush on her pursued her for a long time without success, so he tried to use despicable methods to get her.

He was sent straight to jail. I don't want to get you into trouble!"

Lin Zifeng said cautiously.

Hearing Lin Zifeng's reply, Li Liang felt a bit dejected. He didn't show anything on the surface, but he was unhappy inside.

He thought Lin Zifeng was being possessive and intentionally didn't want to introduce her to him!

The others thought to themselves: "Li Liang, look at your own appearance and see if you are worthy of her."

"Although you are only thirty, you've already gone bald. Standing next to her, it would be a classic Beauty and the Beast combination. It's truly wishful thinking, a toad coveting a swan's flesh."
