Wu Mei was a very rational woman. Her demands of Lin Feng were low, accommodating almost to a fault. What was most remarkable was her indifference to an official status—she even actively rejected it. Such a woman was the ultimate type of lover men dreamed of.

A casual question Lin Feng had asked, however, weighed on Wu Mei's mind. She squinted slightly, staring at Lin Feng, and pressed him, "Is it me who satisfies you more, or do other women?"

"Ahem..." Lin Feng coughed lightly. The question was indeed quite explosive. He mumbled, his face a little embarrassed, and nodded slightly. "They're all good... they all make me feel good..."

In fact, among the three women Lin Feng had been intimate with—Xue Qingyi, Tang Rou, and Wu Mei—Tang Rou brought him the most psychological satisfaction. She was gentle, considerate, and shyly charming, always igniting a strong desire in him to conquer her. Wu Mei, on the other hand, undoubtedly gave him the most intense physical sensations. This wasn't just because of her exceptional figure; more remarkably, she was very proactive, often leaving Lin Feng unable to resist and wanting more. As for Xue Qingyi, it was her legs that attracted Lin Feng the most. Their relationship was complicated, and Lin Feng felt the deepest guilt towards her, creating a heavy burden on his heart.

"Hmph... Men. They're all the same, always eyeing what's in the pot while eating from their bowl..." Wu Mei huffed, a hint of displeasure in her voice. She then pursed her lips, still unsatisfied, before finally getting up from the bed.

"The Treasure Ship is returning, so it seems the plan has changed... I hope you can continue to stay with the Qingzi Sect for a while longer..." Wu Mei said, pulling an elegant skirt suit from the wardrobe. The moment she put it on, she instantly exuded a captivating aura, a radiance that seemed to draw all eyes to her.

"I'll do my best to coordinate with your plans..." Lin Feng nodded. Wu Mei truly has the stunning assets to pass as a high-class beauty. With just that outfit, no makeup needed, she already has the air of a top nightclub star!

...

At Shengang Port in the Hexi District of Jiangzhou City, the Treasure Ship, which had set sail only three days prior, was forced to return urgently due to an explosion. Consequently, numerous passengers had to disembark, their journeys cut short. Long Shaotian's plan to make a fortune from the voyage had fallen through, but he hadn't given up. He had his subordinates inform every guest that if they still wanted to watch boxing matches and gamble on them, they should head to the Tianxing Club.

The guests on board knew that the Tianxing Club was a stronghold of the Qingzi Sect in Jiangzhou. Its security was undoubtedly trustworthy, but it couldn't compare to the secrecy offered on the high seas. Most guests held respectable public identities; a sea cruise provided a plausible excuse, but openly going to the Tianxing Club to gamble on boxing would likely put them under considerable pressure.

Long Shaotian was aware of this. But with the inexplicable explosion on the ship, and considering Zheng Shuizhou who had been killed earlier, a total of three people had died in just three short days. He could only resign himself to this string of bad luck.

Disgruntled, Long Shaotian led his men, forming a convoy of over twenty black Mercedes-Benz cars, and they proceeded in a grand procession towards the Tianxing Club. Simultaneously, Chen Ming, Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect's Jiangzhou Battle Hall, also led his retinue in a dozen or so luxury cars towards the Tianxing Club, the location of their Jiangzhou headquarters.

Tonight was the night the Qingzi Sect's next Jiangzhou Hall Master would be decided.

In contrast to the tension felt by the two bigwigs, Lin Feng and Wu Mei appeared quite relaxed. They chatted as they strolled towards the port parking lot, leisurely searching for Lin Feng's parked Passat.

Just as Lin Feng and Wu Mei reached the Passat, a red BMW X7 drove up, stopping right beside Lin Feng. The window rolled down slowly, revealing Li Liping's attractive face.

Li Liping was in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel. She wore a tight-fitting red dress, and her fair, beautiful face, adorned with brown-tinted sunglasses, exuded an air of cool aloofness.

"Lin Feng, I'm giving you one last chance. If you come with me to see my cousin now and apologize to her, I'll still plead your case. I'll say your outrageous behavior on the ship was just a momentary lapse in judgment. Otherwise... Hmph, just wait for my cousin to send people to hunt you down!" Li Liping stared at Lin Feng, her tone exceptionally arrogant.

"Hey, hey! Li Liping, that's enough! My affairs are none of your concern. Say whatever you want to Cao Ying; I don't care. I don't need you to 'give me a chance'..." Lin Feng was getting really annoyed by Li Liping constantly using Cao Ying to pressure him. Even Cao Ying wouldn't speak to him with such an attitude. What did Li Liping mean by always meddling like this?!

"You..." Li Liping was practically seething from Lin Feng's retort. She pointed a slender finger at him, her face puffed up with anger. After managing to suppress her fury, she said in a low, serious voice, "Since you put it that way, I'll tell my cousin directly. You'd better not regret this!"

"Hmph..." Lin Feng snorted coldly, not bothering to engage with Li Liping any further.

VRMM! Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Li Liping grew even angrier. She slammed her foot on the accelerator. The red BMW's engine let out a low growl, and the car shot off instantly.

"Tsk, tsk. Lin Feng, you really are a cruel one. Such a beautiful girl, and you treat her so harshly..." Wu Mei remarked with a soft laugh, watching Li Liping's car disappear.

"What are you talking about? So what if she's beautiful? It's not like she's anything to me..." Lin Feng rolled his eyes, speechless at Wu Mei's comment, and replied casually.

"You may not think of her as anyone special... but that doesn't mean she doesn't have you in her heart... You! You usually seem so clever. How can you be so dense right now!" Wu Mei said softly, covering her mouth with a light chuckle.

Wu Mei had discerned from Li Liping's concern for Lin Feng that she was, at the very least, curious about him, along with feeling gratitude and worry. However, because Lin Feng was supposedly her cousin's "boyfriend," Li Liping had always suppressed these feelings. That's why her reaction was so intense when she saw Lin Feng together with Wu Mei.

But Lin Feng had always assumed Li Liping was just abusing her minor authority, deliberately finding fault by repeatedly expressing her dissatisfaction with him. That fellow was truly slow on the uptake.

After hearing Wu Mei's words, Lin Feng was taken aback. Is Wu Mei saying Li Liping has feelings for me? No way… That can't be…

With this doubt lingering in his mind, Lin Feng drove Wu Mei back to the Tianxing Club in his Passat and asked Long Jiu to arrange accommodations for them.

Meanwhile, an indignant Li Liping, clearly still fuming, called and confirmed Cao Ying was at home. Without a second thought, she drove straight to Mayor Cao's house.

After parking her car, Li Liping walked to Cao Ying's room with practiced ease. Without even thinking, she pushed the door open and barged in, exclaiming loudly, "Cousin, you need to get your Lin Feng under control! He's been fooling around behind your back!"

Still seething, Li Liping hadn't clearly seen who was in Cao Ying's room when she barged in and blurted out her accusation. It was only when she registered that, besides an embarrassed-looking Cao Ying, her aunt Wang Yueqin was also present that Li Liping froze, utterly mortified.
