20: Lin Feng's network

"Ling Xian! Give it back to me!" Leng Yunyan regretted it, speaking almost through gritted teeth.

"Give it back?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow. "This was my property to begin with. How I handle it is my prerogative."

He unhurriedly straightened the piece of lingerie, put it back into the paper bag, and then took the whole bag.

His movements were as casual as if he were picking up a document.

"..." Leng Yunyan was speechless.

She realized that after Ling Xian's three-year disappearance, the composure and eloquence she prided herself on were completely useless in front of him.

Her emotions were constantly being swayed by Ling Xian, and this was not what she wanted.

"The items have been returned. Is there anything else, Miss Leng?" Ling Xian looked at Leng Yunyan's cheeks, flushed with anger, and actually found it a bit amusing.

Leng Yunyan tried her best to calm her emotions and regain her pace. "I'm just here to remind you that our engagement has been broken. I hope you won't interfere with my company's affairs in the future."

Hearing this, Ling Xian chuckled inwardly. "Don't worry, I have no interest in Miss Leng's career. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder as your former fiancé.

After all, it's quite a hassle to deal with being pestered by shady characters."

"Don't bother!" Leng Yunyan threw out those words and turned to leave.

She was afraid that if she stayed for even one more second, she would lose control on the spot.

"Wait," Ling Xian suddenly called out to her.

Leng Yunyan paused and composed her expression, thinking to herself, "I knew it. Ling Xian definitely can't let go of me. He's starting to beg me not to leave him.

Beg me, beg me, hurry up and beg me... As long as you beg me, I'm willing to get engaged again."

"Give my regards to Aunt Qu," Ling Xian's voice calmed down. "Tell her to contact me anytime if she feels any discomfort."

Leng Yunyan turned around, her face looking awkward. "I know."

If it were anyone else, Leng Yunyan would have exploded on the spot.

But Ling Xian was worried about her mother, and her heart softened at the thought.

She left the office almost as if fleeing, pausing specifically when she passed Hu Yourong.

"What is your name?"

"Ah... Me?" Hu Yourong pointed at herself blankly.

"My name is Hu Yourong."

Only after hearing the answer did Leng Yunyan step into the elevator.

Leaning against the cold elevator wall, Leng Yunyan completely exploded, unable to resist kicking the floor a few times.

"That bastard Ling Xian, why didn't he try to make me stay?

Bastard!

Bastard!

Bastard!

..."

But once she truly calmed down, Leng Yunyan couldn't tell whether it was more anger or the tremor of her heartstrings being forcibly tugged.

"Young Master Ling, that..." Hu Yourong was a bit worried.

"It's nothing. Come home with me.

In a couple of days, I'll take you to a banquet. You'll be my companion, so dress well then. I'll reimburse you." Ling Xian comforted her while also giving a few instructions.

Because Hu Yourong had been overworked these past few days, Ling Xian thought she wouldn't be able to rest well in her small rental room.

So, he took Hu Yourong back to his villa.

At the same time, he arranged for someone to make a custom dress for Hu Yourong.

Although they lived under the same roof, Ling Xian didn't pounce on Hu Yourong like a predator.

He put Hu Yourong in the bedroom next to his and didn't pay any more attention to her.

That night, Hu Yourong's heart was pounding.

"I... I'm actually living in the same house as Young Master Ling."

"No, Young Master Ling and Miss Leng are a couple. I'm not good enough for Young Master Ling."

But looking at the moonlight outside the window, she asked curiously in her heart, "Moon, oh moon, do you think Young Master Ling likes me or not?

He likes me, he likes me not, he likes me... But I feel like he doesn't like Miss Leng, yet it doesn't seem like he likes me that way either."

Hu Yourong pulled the curtains shut and murmured, "I feel like Young Master Ling must have someone he likes. There's definitely someone hidden in his heart."

...Unlike the situation with Ling Xian, where two women were jealous over him.

Lin Feng was having a hard time.

He really didn't expect to end up in prison so soon after returning to the Dragon Kingdom.

First, he was humiliated by a rich heir, then the person he wanted to recruit ignored him.

Now, Black Snake had been assassinated, and he was in prison.

"Name?"

"Lin Feng."

"Gender?"

"Can't you tell?"

"I can make you change your gender."

Instantly, Lin Feng thought of Yue Cailan's terror.

"Male."

"I want to apply for a phone call!" Lin Feng seized his last chance.

He still had connections in the Dragon Kingdom.

Originally, he hadn't planned on using them at this time.

But at this moment, if he didn't use them, given his status as a mercenary, he would definitely never get out once he went in.

If he didn't use them now, he was finished.

Moreover, Wolf Fang's current condition required medical treatment.

If he wasn't saved soon, he'd end up needing a gender change.

"Heh, call. I'll let you call. I want to see just what kind of connections you have.

Once I find out, I'll have the Yue Family wipe them out," Yue Cailan said disdainfully.

She didn't actually like using her family's power, but she really couldn't stand these people with 'connections.'

So what?

Just because you have connections, you don't have to be punished for breaking the law?

Lin Feng took the phone and dialed a private number.

They only had a brief conversation.

The other party readily agreed to Lin Feng's request.

It was clear that Lin Feng's connections were quite significant.

"Oh, hung up already? It didn't work, did it?" Yue Cailan was still feeling smug.

Lin Feng said nothing and was even quite cooperative afterward.

As it turned out, before long, the Director came running over in a panic.

"Lin Feng?"

Lin Feng nodded, knowing his connections had exerted their influence.

"You can go," the Director said, panting.

"Director, what do you mean? Are you shielding a criminal?" Yue Cailan was displeased.

She had just mocked Lin Feng; how could she let him slap her in the face like this now?

"Captain Yue, even if your Yue Family spoke up, it would be useless." the Director simply said this and prepared to personally escort Lin Feng out.

"Don't let me catch you later!" Yue Cailan could only issue a threat in frustration.

Lin Feng took Wolf Fang to the nearest hospital.

There was actually another reason why he could mobilize this connection so easily.

It was Wolf Eye.

He had handed Wolf Eye over to the Dragon Kingdom.

He had given his 'eyes' to the Dragon Kingdom in exchange for a safe identity.

After Lin Feng left, Yue Cailan stopped the Director and asked, "Who exactly is behind him?

Are even you and the Yue Family afraid?"

After a moment of silence, the Director spoke, "Niece Yue, I didn't want to let this Lin Feng go either, but the Military is behind him. The call came from the Military."

the Military.

As soon as those two words were spoken, Yue Cailan took two steps back in shock.

If it was the Military, then everything made sense.

If the Military stepped in, not to mention the Yue Family, even all the families in the entire East Sea wouldn't dare to act out.

"Does this Lin Feng have connections that reach the heavens?" Yue Cailan asked in disbelief.

the Director shook his head with a smile. "As far as I know, this time Lin Feng just had some connections with the Military plus an exchange of interests.

Next time, if you truly find evidence of his crimes, I'll leave it to you to handle."

After saying that, he patted Yue Cailan's back and left.

His hint was very clear.

There was nothing that could be done this time, but keep an eye on him yourself in the future. Once Lin Feng does anything against the rules, deal with him according to the law.
