After a brief moment of stunned silence.
Lu Feng immediately knocked on the door.
From inside the room, Lin Mei’s voice slowly emerged.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, I forgot my key!”
From inside, Lin Mei’s familiar voice approached.
“Oh, okay, wait for me a moment!”
As Lin Mei spoke, her hand was about to reach for the doorknob.
Realizing she was only wrapped in a bathrobe.
She couldn’t help but add, “Right, I’m opening the door, wait for me for half a minute before pushing it open.”
Lin Mei was covered in sweat, especially her face, even more so under her makeup.
These things, mixed together, were quite unpleasant.
So much so that she needed to remove her makeup and take a bath.
Lu Feng responded with an “Oh.”
He found it rather peculiar.
However, since Lin Mei had said so, and this person wouldn’t harm him.
Lu Feng stood outside the door and waited patiently.
Click!
The door opened quickly.
After opening the door, Lin Mei swiftly retreated towards the bathroom.
Indeed, not seeing him push the door open, Lin Mei couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
“This kid is really honest.”
But being honest wasn’t a bad thing.
And honestly, Lin Mei’s good impression of Lu Feng was steadily rising.
A gentleman, capable in both literary and martial arts.
And sharp-witted, this was the lifelong pursuit of many wealthy young women.
Chuckling foolishly.
Lin Mei didn’t realize that less than three steps behind her.
There was a puddle of water that Lin Mei had brought out from the bathroom.
And at this moment, she was rapidly moving towards that water.
Splash!
The smile on Lin Mei’s face instantly vanished as if it had been wiped away by an invisible force from mid-air.
Ah!
At the same time, as her entire body rapidly fell backward.
Lin Mei let out a scream from the depths of her throat.
Hearing the sound, Lu Feng, standing outside the door, was instantly filled with a fog of confusion.
“What’s going on?”
Lu Feng couldn’t imagine what else could be encountered in the room besides the kidnappers from earlier.
He instinctively pushed the door open.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Lu Feng was utterly shocked.
But not out of fear.
It was a feeling he, in his entire life, couldn’t quite describe.
Before him, Lin Mei was in a white bathrobe.
Slanted on the tiled floor.
Her body, freshly bathed, was exceptionally fair.
The bathrobe was half-covered, half-revealed.
Exceedingly alluring.
Furthermore, with her makeup removed, Lin Mei lost some of the mature aura of a city socialite.
But gained a touch of the sweetness of a girl next door.
Just this appearance.
Made Lu Feng momentarily bewildered.
His face, though he didn’t know what had happened.
As there was no mirror for Lu Feng to check.
Lu Feng could clearly feel waves of irresistible heat rising from his cheeks.
It felt as if his face had been smeared with chili sauce.
Lin Mei was also stunned at this moment.
This time.
Though not completely exposed in front of Lu Feng, a lot had been revealed.
Regaining her senses, she immediately got up, disregarding her ladylike elegance.
And hurried towards the bathroom.
Lin Mei leaned her back against the bathroom door, taking deep breaths.
A full minute later, the sound of water resumed within the bathroom.
However, Lu Feng, sitting on the sofa, found his inner turmoil far from settled.
This was Lu Feng’s first encounter with a woman.
Especially such a beautiful girl.
Lin Mei emerged from the bathroom after changing her clothes, with a band-aid on her face.
This was a quarter of an hour later.
“How about we go out for a meal? My treat, as a thank you!”
Hearing Lin Mei’s gentle voice, like tinkling bells.
Lu Feng finally came back to his senses.
“Okay, okay!”
This place could be considered one of the three major areas in Southeast City.
Although the buildings were old, below them were bustling commercial streets.
Lin Mei chose a restaurant.
Lu Feng gazed at the dazzling array of everything before him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
These things, Lu Feng had only seen on television.
Now, these things that were once on television were all laid out before him.
Lu Feng was still full of anticipation.
“Two steaks, please!”
Lin Mei ordered.
She couldn’t help but look up at Lu Feng.
She was still immersed in the situation from earlier in the room.
“Lu Feng!”
Upon hearing her voice, Lu Feng immediately withdrew his gaze from looking around.
“What is it?”
“I want to ask you something, what did you see just now?”
A faint blush appeared on Lin Mei’s fair face.
Lu Feng had intended to be direct.
But after thinking about it, he said, “Oh, I didn’t see anything!”
Lin Mei was about to ask further.
Just then, on a large screen in the front of the restaurant broadcasting the news.
A voice interrupted Lu Feng’s words.
“Today, Miss Dong Ye, accompanied by the Deputy Mayor, visited the emerging industrial base located in the southern suburbs of Southeast City…”
Hearing this, upon hearing the familiar name.
Lu Feng’s attention was immediately drawn by the voice.
Dong Ye?
Could this be the person his master was looking for?
Lu Feng couldn’t help but murmur softly.
Lin Mei had clearly noticed Lu Feng’s reaction.
“Is she the one you’re looking for?”
Lin Mei asked urgently.
Lu Feng himself was unsure.
Sensing the faint worry lingering on Lu Feng’s brow.
Lin Mei continued, “Lu Feng, do you have any token to prove your connection to this person?”
Even for a reunion, a token was necessary.
If the token couldn’t pass, there was no point in discussing anything else.
Ordinary people wouldn’t even pay attention.
Things like paternity tests were secondary.
Let alone someone like Dong Ye, who had status and position.
People like her were most averse to scandals.
Public opinion, once it gained momentum, could easily ruin a person.
Hearing this.
Lu Feng suddenly remembered.
Lu Feng took out a piece of paper from his worn bag.
Unfolding the paper, it clearly showed the character “永” (Yǒng).
“My master said, if I meet this person in person and hand this to her, she will understand.”
“Then, how about I help you try?”
Lu Feng’s eyes widened instantly.
“Sister Lin Mei, you know this person, right? I guessed correctly!”
Lu Feng said excitedly.
He had found the right person.
Lin Mei nodded, then shook her head slightly.
“I know her, but it’s not that easy to directly contact her.”
Lin Mei’s words were indeed true.
Although the Lin family was considered a wealthy household in Southeast City.
Compared to Dong Ye, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
From memory, Lin Mei had seen Dong Ye from afar.
That was when she was about ten years old.
However, Lin Mei looked at Lu Feng.
She didn’t want to dampen his confidence.
“How about this, I’ll help you inquire. If I manage to get in touch, I’ll call you directly!”
“Thank you!”
Lu Feng replied politely.
After dinner.
Lin Mei drove back.
Lu Feng lay on the sofa.
The entire day since descending the mountain.
Although it was only one day.
Yet, the events of the entire day flashed before Lu Feng’s eyes like a movie.
Especially Lin Mei, whenever he thought of her, Lu Feng’s lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upwards.
