"Of course, I'll accept... Teacher Xu is so kind and beautiful. Why would I refuse the opportunity to have dinner with you?" Lin Feng chuckled, his expression perfectly natural.

"Stop it, you smooth-talker... Since you agreed, I'll ask my grandfather to arrange a time!" Xu Jing finally nodded with a smile.

After leaving Xu Jing's office, Lin Feng went straight back to the classroom and sat next to Wang Zikai, whose face was still flushed with excitement.

"Brother Feng, this is our class registration form. Look at the situation in the athletics section. Our dorm has signed up for all of them. As we initially agreed, Yang Ming will run 100 meters, Zhong Jialiang will run 200 meters, and I signed up for the 400 meters and 800 meters. That leaves the 1,500-meter and 3,000-meter races—the two big ones—for you to tackle, Brother Feng..." Wang Zikai chuckled dryly, clearly a bit frustrated that in their Industrial Management class, which had many male students, no one else had signed up for the track and field events.

"Humph! Not a single other male student signed up for the track events?" Lin Feng was speechless and spoke with a hint of sarcasm. "It seems Li Zhi's 'promotional work' was quite effective, wasn't it? It's understandable to worry about something happening in middle or long-distance races above 800 meters, but for no one to sign up for the 100-meter sprint? That's ridiculous! It looks like we really can't let Li Zhi continue as class monitor."

"Brother Feng, although we all know this, it's not easy to get Li Zhi to resign!" Wang Zikai pointed to himself, Yang Ming, and Zhong Jialiang, and said with a wry smile, "Apart from everyone knowing that you're Impressive, Brother Feng, we few know our own capabilities—we don't have any real strength. We're just signing up for the sake of participation; there's no real chance of us winning any prizes... Looks like we're going to hold you back!"

Although Zhong Jialiang and Yang Ming looked a little unconvinced by this, they ultimately didn't argue. They thought that even though they played basketball regularly and were in decent shape, how could they possibly match professional athletes from the School of Physical Education in terms of explosive sprint speed?

It was almost laughable; the three of them even figured that making it to the second round of heats would be an achievement in itself!

"That's all right. The school sports meet isn't until next week, and we have two days to prepare over the weekend. Enough time for me to give you special training!" Lin Feng looked at Wang Zikai and the other two, smiling calmly, a cunning glint in his eyes.

"Special training?" Wang Zikai, Yang Ming, and Zhong Jialiang exchanged puzzled glances, shook their heads, and then asked, "What special training?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Lin Feng chuckled, keeping them in suspense.

His morning classes ended without any incident. Lin Feng was planning to grab lunch at the school cafeteria, then head back to Jincheng residential area with Ning Aoxue and Su Zi once they had finished their afternoon classes. Unexpectedly, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up to see it was from an unknown number and lazily answered, "Who is this?"

"Is this Lin Feng? I am Cao Ying's mother. Can we meet for lunch today? I am waiting for you in the Spring Dawn room at Longyue Building!"

The voice on the other end was elegant, but her tone was somewhat brusque, even cold. She spoke quickly, in a commanding manner, and hung up without even waiting for Lin Feng to reply. It was quite perplexing.

It was only after the busy tone sounded that Lin Feng processed what had happened. Did the woman on the phone just say she was Cao Ying's mother?

Does that mean... it was a call from the Mayor's wife?

Well, if it was the Mayor's wife, her arrogance was somewhat understandable... After all, she was probably used to being imperious!

However, Lin Feng himself was quite an arrogant person. To be suddenly treated so haughtily, even if it was by the Mayor's wife, still made him feel rather uncomfortable...

In the end, Lin Feng decided to call Cao Ying first to ask about the situation.

Lin Feng found Cao Ying's phone number and dialed it.

The call was answered even before the first ring had finished.

The voice on the other end was familiar.

"Lin Feng, right? I'm Cao Ying's mother. Don't bother trying to sound out Little Ying by calling her. She's sitting right next to me. Think carefully about whether you're coming or not!"

Damn it... Lin Feng hadn't expected his opponent to be so cunning as to have Cao Ying's phone... It seemed he really had no choice but to go!

Although he didn't know what Cao Ying's mother wanted to say to him, Lin Feng could sense the hostility in her tone. Cao Ying must be in a very difficult situation right now.

As a man, when he knew his woman was in trouble, he had to put aside any dissatisfaction and help her out of her predicament first!

With no other option, Lin Feng had to ask Ning Aoxue and Su Zi for another short leave. Then, he drove according to the route he found online to the Longyue Building's parking lot mentioned by Cao Ying's mother, located within a lush estate in the Hexi District.

From information on the internet, Lin Feng learned that Longyue Building was an extremely famous high-end club in Jiangzhou City. Its members were affluent individuals from the city and even from abroad. It had always maintained an air of mystery within the political and business circles of Jiangzhou City. For ordinary people, it was an unattainable destination.

Compared to Tianxing Club, Longyue Building had a cleaner background and a more refined environment. The tranquil estate was exquisitely designed, featuring pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water. It felt like being immersed in springtime, and Lin Feng could even hear the clear chirping of birds.

Lin Feng had just parked his Passat in the quiet parking lot when a handsome young man in a black suit, tie, and earpiece approached his car.

"Hello, sir. This is the exclusive parking lot of Longyue Building. It is not open to the public. Could you please show your membership card?"

This handsome young man appeared very polite, but Lin Feng could clearly detect a hint of disdain in his eyes... It seemed his second-hand Passat hadn't impressed the fellow.

"I don't have a membership card. To be honest, I don't really want to come to a place like this... But someone invited me. I only came because I had to," Lin Feng rolled down the car window and said indifferently.

"HMPH..." The young man scoffed lightly, an almost imperceptible look of disdain on his face. "Then please tell me who invited you. If they are an ordinary member, I'm afraid they don't have the privilege to invite outside guests into Longyue Building!"

"I don't know her name... But she said she's waiting for me in the Spring Dawn room; you can check for me," Lin Feng said lazily.

"Are you joking with me?!" The young man in the suit's expression immediately hardened, staring at Lin Feng as if he were a petty thief.
