Half an hour later.
Lin Mei appeared by the swimming pool.
"Dad, you've been swimming again?"
Lin Mei saw Lin Dong lying on a chair with a towel draped around his neck and couldn't help but frown slightly. "Didn't the doctor tell you to rest?"
Lin Dong was getting on in years, and his physique was naturally much weaker than when he was young. It was naturally incomparable.
The doctor's advice was to do as much gentle exercise as possible.
Anything harmful was not beneficial.
Before Lin Mei could finish speaking, Lin Dong smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing, your dad isn't that old yet."
"Dad, what did you ask me to come here for?"
Seeing this, Lin Mei couldn't help but show curiosity.
After all, Lin Dong was constantly busy with trivial matters and rarely actively sought out Lin Mei.
"Oh, it's like this." Lin Dong wiped his face with the towel in his hand. "Lin Mei, that kid Lu Feng, did he really convince Qin Qiong?"
Even at the moment he spoke, his words were filled with doubt.
After all, this was a knot that he himself had been unable to untangle for several years.
Lin Dong couldn't figure out how it had been resolved.
Sensing that Lin Dong wanted to know the whole story, Lin Mei looked up.
Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
"Dad, I know you don't believe it, and frankly, I didn't either, but this kid is truly amazing."
She recounted everything that had happened at Qin Qiong's place to Lin Dong, word for word.
"What?"
After hearing this, Lin Dong was even more impressed with the young man.
"This kid has this ability?"
He had initially thought the young man was just quick-witted, but he never expected him to be seemingly omnipotent.
Hearing the surprise that inadvertently leaked from Lin Dong's words, Lin Mei couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, I told you, my daughter's judgment of sunshine is never wrong."
"That's right, who is my daughter!"
Lin Dong said, looking at Lin Mei, "By the way, tomorrow, have your two brothers come here with Lu Feng!"
"Dad, what are you planning?"
Lin Dong's voice was calm. "Your father has always kept his word. Since your father has already agreed to pay Lu Feng, this money will not be stingy. Besides."
"Dad, that's right," Lin Mei was so happy she almost jumped.
But then she heard that Lin Dong had more to say.
Lin Mei couldn't help but feel a bit of apprehension amidst her joy.
She knew her father's personality too well.
Was Lin Dong planning to continue testing him?
This time, Lin Mei felt it was enough.
One link after another.
If even one link failed.
She and Lu Feng would be in serious trouble.
Although it was exciting, such matters were too risky, and the fewer the better.
Lin Mei wasn't lacking in drive.
It was just that she didn't want to see Lu Feng taking such risks.
As a result, Lin Mei asked, "Dad, you're not still thinking of...?"
Daughter and father, their hearts are connected, this saying is not false at all.
As soon as Lin Mei's words were spoken, Lin Dong had already guessed some of it.
"Don't worry," Lin Dong said reassuringly, although in his heart he did have such thoughts, but he wouldn't reveal too much, especially in front of Lin Mei.
It was possible that Lin Mei would not allow Lu Feng to come here.
"Dad, I know what I'm doing."
Meanwhile, Lin Hai's side.
Lin Hai's woman sat on the sofa beside him, and after listening to Lin Hai's concise description, her face, obscured by the smoke rising from the cigarette held between her index and middle fingers, trembled several times.
"This kid really found a loophole!"
The woman said slowly.
"Yes!"
Lin Hai picked up a cup of black tea and took a sip.
"This kid, at first, I didn't think much of him. But now, the more I look at him, the more I find him an eyesore!"
Lin Hai's words were not false.
This kid now not only held his handle.
Moreover, this kid was exceptionally sharp-minded.
Currently, this person was mingling with Lin Mei.
Being close to Lin Mei meant being close to Lin Dong as well.
Once this person observed his plans, it would be equivalent to Lin Dong knowing about it.
If that happened, how could he proceed with his actions?
The woman's voice was cold. "Indeed, this kid is our stumbling block. We need to find a way to remove him as soon as possible."
"Removing him is easier said than done. How do we do it?"
Lin Hai gave the woman a sideways glance.
This kid named Lu Feng was a living person, and moreover, a living person with a brain, and quite difficult to deal with.
The woman spoke to herself.
"There is nothing difficult in the world if one sets one's mind to it."
Hearing this, the contempt that had lingered on Lin Hai's face dissipated by more than half.
"So, you've thought of a way? But now, our Lin family doesn't have any tricky cases!"
Lin Hai's intended method was to make Lu Feng retreat as much as possible.
If he could trap this kid, he didn't believe the kid could stubbornly persist.
But the key was, there was no suitable opportunity right now.
The woman's lips curved slightly. "Opportunities need to be created. Besides, dealing with this kid doesn't necessarily have to start with him."
Being enlightened by the woman's words, Lin Hai quickly looked at her. "Are you saying we should start with Lin Mei?"
Hearing this, the woman nodded slightly.
"But how do we start with Lin Mei?"
