"Qingyi..." Lin Feng stared at Xue Qingyi with a somewhat hazy gaze and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Did you come to gloat?"

Deep down, Lin Feng always regarded Xue Qingyi as one of his closest companions, so he had no intention of blaming her.

Xue Qingyi looked at Lin Feng and the twenty-odd liquor bottles before him, a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes. "I only said that deliberately earlier to test your reaction," she said. "Just as I thought, when you're feeling down, you resort to drowning your sorrows in alcohol..."

Lin Feng was stunned. Does this girl mean she believes I am the former White Wolf King, and she provoked me intentionally earlier to further confirm my identity?

Damn! How did Qingyi learn to be so roundabout and subtle...

Lin Feng silently congratulated himself on his luck. It's a good thing Xue Qingyi arrived quickly. Although he was drinking to drown his sorrows, he was different from the Lin Feng of the past... This time, he had been planning to find a woman to spend the night with to vent... While Lin Feng had no intention of being with Xue Qingyi, it wouldn't have been pleasant for her to witness such a scene!

In fact, Xue Qingyi wasn't feeling great at that moment, because an incredibly beautiful woman, Wu Mei, was sitting right beside Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, aren't you going to introduce this beauty?" Wu Mei's expression wasn't pleasant either. A very insincere smile touched her lips as her sharp gaze swept over Xue Qingyi, who had just appeared and challenged her. Her voice was cold as she spoke.

Wu Mei's attitude didn't suggest a desire to get to know Xue Qingyi in depth; rather, it seemed she wanted to gather more information about an enemy. Yes, although it was only their second meeting, Wu Mei and Xue Qingyi had already identified each other as enemies.

This was a battle between women.

Hearing Wu Mei's tone and seeing the look in her eyes, Lin Feng immediately felt a headache coming on. Why did Wu Mei have to clash with Qingyi...

"Ahem, allow me to introduce you. This is Wu Mei, and this is Xue Qingyi. You are both my... good friends..." Lin Feng stammered slightly as he introduced the two beauties to each other. However, he quickly realized that information about both Wu Mei's and Xue Qingyi's identities was sensitive... so he didn't elaborate.

"Xue Qingyi... What a cliché name..." Wu Mei glanced at Xue Qingyi with a smile. "You just said you're the reason Lin Feng is upset. Do you still have the audacity to show your face in front of him? You certainly have thick skin..."

"Your name isn't exactly elegant either..." Xue Qingyi eyed Wu Mei coldly, her expression indifferent. "What happens between Lin Feng and me is none of your concern. If you don't like the sight of me, feel free to try and strike me!"

"Don't... don't fight..." Startled by Xue Qingyi's words, Lin Feng hurriedly intervened.

He knew Xue Qingyi's Martial Arts techniques were lethal, designed to grievously injure or kill. If she truly fought Wu Mei, Wu Mei would likely be hurt.

However, Wu Mei was unaware of Xue Qingyi's formidable martial arts skills. Glancing at Xue Qingyi, who appeared slimmer and less 'busty' than herself, Wu Mei scoffed, "I wouldn't stoop to hitting you; I'd hate to hurt you..."

Lin Feng listened, utterly speechless. Wu Mei really is confident in her abilities. Ah, ignorance is bliss...

Upon hearing Wu Mei's words, Xue Qingyi extended her right hand, raising a single, jade-like index finger towards Wu Mei, and said flatly, "One move!"

"What do you mean?" Wu Mei asked instinctively, then understanding dawned. A trace of scorn crossed her face. "You're saying you can defeat me in one move? Are you kidding? If anything, I could defeat you in one move!"

Hearing Wu Mei's reply, Xue Qingyi's expression suddenly turned serious. She glanced at Lin Feng and silently mouthed, "Cop?"

Lin Feng nodded discreetly at Xue Qingyi. So Wu Mei has already given herself away... The term 'defeat' or 'subdue' is commonly used by the police, whereas Xue Qingyi's 'one move' meant 'one move to kill'... That's terminology from the underworld mercenary community.

Xue Qingyi had guessed Wu Mei was an undercover cop and was confirming it with Lin Feng by mouthing the word.

Seeing Xue Qingyi mouth the question, Lin Feng had responded instinctively.

Seeing that Lin Feng could understand her mouthed words, Xue Qingyi's mood improved. Once she confirmed Wu Mei was an undercover cop, Xue Qingyi lost all interest in arguing further with her; after all, she was accustomed to taking action, not bandying words.

Seeing Xue Qingyi no longer retort, Wu Mei smiled smugly. She must be scared... In the police force, I'm a combat champion in my unit. Why would I be afraid of a little slip of a girl like Xue Qingyi?

Xue Qingyi looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, and quite delicate. Wu Mei simply didn't believe she could be a combat expert.

"Lin Feng, shall we dance?" Wu Mei noticed the strange dynamic between Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi. But since she had already clashed with Xue Qingyi over Lin Feng, she naturally decided to press her advantage and pull Lin Feng away from Xue Qingyi.

The dance floor in the center of the small bar wasn't large. The earlier exotic dance performance had just concluded. Under the dim lights, several couples were dancing closely, a very intimate scene...

If Xue Qingyi hadn't been there, Lin Feng would have eagerly accepted Wu Mei's invitation to dance. What a perfect opportunity to get close to her!

However... with Xue Qingyi present, Lin Feng couldn't possibly ignore her. I neglected her for too long in the past. I feel rather guilty towards Qingyi!

"Wu Mei... I've had too much to drink, I'm not feeling very well... Let's not dance today," Lin Feng said, steeling himself. Refusing an invitation from such a stunner indeed required immense courage.

Wu Mei's face suddenly turned deathly pale. She couldn't believe Lin Feng would reject her for this Xue Qingyi. Wu Mei never danced in small bars like this, especially not while wearing such a revealing club dress. Inviting Lin Feng to dance was practically an open invitation for something more intimate... Yet, she had been rejected...

A wave of sadness washed over Wu Mei. Perhaps Lin Feng only sees me as a diversion during his mission, not taking me seriously at all, let alone having any feelings for me. All he feels for me is carnal desire...

Is being with Lin Feng just a transaction? He helps me complete my mission, and I satisfy his desires? If that's the case, why should I keep sticking around Lin Feng? Shouldn't I just let go, directly charm Long Shaotian, and complete my mission more quickly?

Her thoughts in a turmoil, Wu Mei's eyes filled with disappointment. She said nothing more to Lin Feng, turned, and walked towards the bar's exit.

"Wu Mei..." Lin Feng called after her.

"Humph! Choose her or choose me. Think about it yourself!" Wu Mei said coolly without turning back, then walked away gracefully.

Lin Feng was exasperated. He knew Wu Mei was upset, but he found it very difficult to abandon Xue Qingyi...
