Chen Ming has actually given up the fight for the role of spokesperson? Upon hearing this news, Lin Feng instinctively thought there was a catch. From what I know about Chen Ming, the man is quite sinister and would stop at nothing to achieve his aims. How could he give up the competition just like that?! After all, even though I've already won three matches, my body is greatly depleted, and whether I can even enter the ring is uncertain. There are still skilled professionals with third-layer Inner Strength in the battle hall, including Chen Ming and his son, who are formidable Nei Family experts! Would Chen Ming really give up under such circumstances? I don't believe Chen Ming is such a gracious, gentlemanly type...

However, when Lin Feng noticed that Chen Ming and his son had already retreated from the stage with their subordinates, and even the referees, including Jiang Meng, were merrily congratulating Long Shaotian, he had no choice but to accept the reality...

This outcome is perfect in its own way... Lin Feng glanced at his right hand, which was trembling slightly from excessive exertion, and began to look forward to seeing Ning Aoxue and Su Zi again. Come to think of it, it's been a week since I last saw those two. I wonder how they're doing. And that guy Lu Pengju, I hope he hasn't lost them!

With a radiant smile on his face, Long Shaotian successfully became the spokesperson for Jiangzhou Hall once again. He hadn't bothered to ponder why Chen Ming would suddenly withdraw from the competition – all that mattered to him was that he had won!

After jovially settling Lin Feng's match fee, Long Shaotian left with his brothers to celebrate. Before leaving, he chuckled and told Lin Feng, "HAHA... Lin Feng, from now on you're the Qingzi Sect's ultimate VIP! All Qinglong Group establishments are open to you, free of charge. Play however you want! Just put it on my tab and use my name! I have to go with my brothers, so make yourself at home..."

Lin Feng could sense that Long Shaotian's trust in him had skyrocketed, almost to the point of regarding him as one of his own. This meant he could freely access all of the Qingzi Sect's establishments, making it easy for Wu Mei to gather any evidence she wanted... And Yan Su was even better off; Long Xiaoyun treated him almost like her own uncle. To think they'd accept a military special operative as their closest brother... I shudder to imagine the Long Family's fate… Amen. Good luck to you all... As for the generous Long Shaotian and Long Xiaoyun, who regarded him as an idol, Lin Feng, whose own moral compass was somewhat skewed, didn't dislike them that much. I even silently pray that their end won't be too tragic.

When most of the outsiders had left, Lin Feng first took Yan Su to a deserted room. Using the bone-setting techniques from the Taishang Medical Classic, he mended Yan Su's broken bone. After they had quietly discussed their plans for the future, Lin Feng returned to his room with Wu Mei.

"Lin Feng, my initial mission is basically complete..." Back in the room, Wu Mei, lightly dressed, casually said while giving Lin Feng a full-body massage, "As long as I stay at the Qinglong Group under the guise of being your woman and collect their criminal evidence, that's the main thing. When the organization needs it, I can just send out the information."

"So when are you planning to reveal your identity? I'll arrange your work situation ahead of time when that happens..." Lin Feng asked leisurely while enjoying Wu Mei's soothing touch. His previous mention of transitioning Wu Mei from a frontline operative position to the PR department was serious, not just a casual remark; he was genuinely committed to it.

"It depends on the organization's arrangements. I guess it will be at least after the major crackdown on the Qingzi Sect!" Wu Mei whispered into Lin Feng's ear, "That will take at least three to four months... You don't need to worry about me! After I'm recognized for my contributions this time, I'll just submit an application to transfer to a different department..."

Wu Mei still didn't quite believe Lin Feng could sort out her work situation, but she didn't voice this skepticism, merely rejecting the offer politely.

She doesn't trust me, I know, Lin Feng thought. But I won't explain further. It's enough to know she'll likely complete her mission in about three months. I'll give her a surprise then…

Later, knowing it was still inconvenient for Wu Mei to visit her mother, Lin Feng asked for the detailed address of the hospital where her mother was being treated.

"Lin Feng... can you please not see my mom for now...?" Although Wu Mei knew Lin Feng was well-off and didn't refuse his offer to help cover her mother's medical expenses, she made a strange request.

"Why?" Lin Feng was confused. We're so close now… Even if I don't reveal my identity, what's the problem with meeting her mother?

"Just... just listen to me, okay...?" Wu Mei blushed. She was actually afraid of Lin Feng meeting her mother. If he revealed his identity, it would be hard for her to explain things later if she wasn't present. But if he didn't reveal his identity, she worried her mother might suspect Lin Feng was a scammer...

"Alright, I'll listen to you!" Lin Feng nodded. I'll make sure not to show my face when I pay her mom's medical bills then.

"You're going back tomorrow, so... tonight...?" Wu Mei looked at Lin Feng with a charming smile, her voice laced with seduction. Her sentence was left unfinished, but her meaning was crystal clear: she wanted Lin Feng, who was already overworked, to "work hard" once more tonight...

"COUGH, COUGH..." Lin Feng cleared his throat, saying a little sheepishly, "My arm was dislocated today, and you know the saying, 'it takes a hundred days to recover from an injury to bones or tendons'..."

Wu Mei's face turned a deep crimson, a pink flush rising as if blood might drip from it. She leaned close to Lin Feng's ear and whispered softly, "You don't have to do anything... I'll handle it..."

Hearing that, Lin Feng actually felt a flicker of bashfulness.

...

It was another bright morning. With the knock of the delivery person, Lu Pengju, who lived in Villa No. 3 of Jincheng residential area in Jiangzhou City, finally woke up.

"Hey, hey, Dapeng, time to get up for breakfast! You're so lazy. The takeout's here, and you're still in bed! How can you be a bodyguard? Your master used to make us breakfast every day..." Su Zi grumbled as she knocked on Lu Pengju's door.

"Coming!"

Lu Pengju first yelled back in response to Su Zi. Then, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he chuckled to himself with a hint of nonchalance. I didn't want to be a bodyguard either... Master insisted I come! Jiangzhou is perfectly safe; who needs a bodyguard...? Rich people are just so troublesome... This week has been really comfortable, though. The old man is really considerate. He knows how tough it was for me in the army camp; sending me here is like giving me a bonus! And the two sisters-in-law are beautiful... COUGH, COUGH, just appreciating them is a feast for the eyes!

When Lu Pengju finished dressing and appeared at his doorway, he was surprised to see Su Zi still standing there, looking somewhat hesitant...

"Su... Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Dapeng, do you have any idea what Lin Feng went to do? It's been over a week, and we haven't seen him, and he never answers his phone... Do you know when he's coming back?" Su Zi looked at Lu Pengju curiously and asked in a low voice.

"Master said... he'd be away for ten-plus days... so it'll probably be a while yet!" Lu Pengju replied lazily. This comfortable life is great; I don't want it to end so soon...

But just as Lu Pengju said this, his gaze suddenly fixed on the main entrance. Surprised, joyful, and a little uncertain, he stammered, "Is that... Master?"
