Mu Feng smiled slightly, not speaking, but giving Du Jiaojiao a look.
Du Jiaojiao bit her red lip slightly, a smile already appearing on her face, and said playfully, "Teacher, you took great care of me when I was in school. You are the teacher I respect the most."
"This painting in my hands is like a pearl covered in dust. I don't understand the value of these artworks at all."
"Keeping it with me would be a waste. Besides, I only spent two or three thousand yuan to acquire this antique, and I had always intended to give it to you after returning to China."
"This proves you have a connection with this painting. If not, I wouldn't have bought it."
Professor Li wanted to say more.
Du Jiaojiao had already taken Mu Feng's hand, "Teacher, your friend will be here soon. We won't disturb you while you appreciate the painting."
With that, she pulled Mu Feng and ran out.
Professor Li's face showed a hint of emotion. Those students from his village couldn't help but sigh, "The difference between people is vast."
"It's worth it in this lifetime to have a student like Jiaojiao."
"I just didn't expect Jiaojiao to end up with that person. This is a great thing. I hope they can be together forever."
Meanwhile, Du Jiaojiao had already dragged Mu Feng out of the hotel.
Her small face was still flushed, adding to her charm.
"Are you heartbroken after giving away a billion?" Mu Feng asked with a smile.
Du Jiaojiao directly gave Mu Feng a charming white eye, lifting her chin proudly, "I never take back what I give. Why would I regret it?"
"No amount of money can compare to the care my teacher gave me."
"When I was in school, my teacher saw that I was working to support myself, so he often asked his wife to call me over for dinner. My teacher's wife is an excellent cook, especially her dumplings. I still want to eat them. When I have time, I'll take you to my teacher's wife's house for a meal."
As she said this, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
She didn't feel that familial warmth in the Du family; instead, she found it with her teacher.
He was a truly respectable elder.
Mu Feng smiled, "Professor Li is indeed worthy of respect. However, is there something you should think about carefully?"
"What is it?"
Du Jiaojiao instinctively looked over, then bit her red lip, her small face showing hesitation. "You're not asking me to thank you, are you? I don't have money, and that billion is yours anyway."
"I can see that you are definitely not an ordinary person. No wonder my cousin is so devoted to you."
Mu Feng said exasperatedly, "Our relationship has been there since childhood. You can think of it as childhood sweethearts. What I want to talk to you about isn't thanks, but the fact that your car's brake line was tampered with."
"What's there to think about? It's just those few people."
Du Jiaojiao didn't want to dwell on the matter, directly saying, "I'll call my mother and have her tell the Du family that I'm not interested in their affairs. I'll be with my cousin from now on."
"Then I'll develop alongside my cousin. When we go home, I'll make them envy and hate us."
"My cousin's development is much better than theirs."
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "What you think in your heart might not be what others see. Some people might even think you're accumulating strength. The longer you interact with Nianxue and the closer your relationship becomes, the more worried they will be."
"Because your cousin will also become your support."
Du Jiaojiao frowned slightly. She hated scheming with others.
It wasn't that she lacked the intelligence, but she was too lazy to engage in it.
However, Mu Feng's reminder made her feel that something was amiss, and she asked curiously, "Then what exactly are you trying to say?"
Mu Feng pointed to where the car was parked.
A person was just crawling out from under the car, with oil stains on his hands. It was clear he had just tampered with the car.
"What are you doing?" Du Jiaojiao shouted angrily. "Tampering with my brake line before wasn't enough? Are you trying to do it again?"
The person froze, clearly not expecting Du Jiaojiao to come out so soon.
However, he didn't say a word. After a brief moment of stunned reaction, he turned and fled.
Du Jiaojiao eagerly wanted to chase, but she was wearing high heels today and couldn't keep up. She turned to look at Mu Feng, anxiously saying, "What are you waiting for? If you don't chase him now, you'll let him escape!"
"Otherwise, I won't even know who is plotting against me."
Mu Feng's lips curled into a smile, "Besides, you don't like to scheme, nor do you care about their calculations. Let him run. Even if you find out who it is, it won't do much good. At most, you'll get an answer."
"It's better to be blissfully ignorant and not know anything!"
Du Jiaojiao said indignantly, "Who says this great lady won't fight back?"
"What I said earlier was just casual talk. Even if I wanted to retaliate, I couldn't find any evidence. The main thing now is to catch this guy. Once I have evidence, I'll make him pay."
Mu Feng spread his hands, "Unfortunately, the person has already run away!"
"Just get angry with me," Du Jiaojiao stomped her small feet angrily. Seeing that the person had long since disappeared, she could only hmph and walk towards the parking spot indignantly.
"What do we do now? Did they tamper with our brake lines again?"
Mu Feng smiled, "It's probably more than just the brake lines. Look, there's oil leaking from under the car. I'm afraid the fuel pipe has also been disconnected. If we get in the car now, someone might jump out and throw a firebomb."
"Then with a boom, something very exciting will happen."
Du Jiaojiao's face turned a little pale upon hearing this.
"Then let's take a taxi back!"
"You go back first. I'm going to arrange for someone to tow the car for repairs. Also, there are surveillance cameras here, so they can find the person later."
Du Jiaojiao nodded, "Then I'll go to the company to find my cousin. If you find any clues, remember to call me anytime. You scoundrel, you want me to die? You've really angered me."
"I'm going to cooperate with my cousin. I didn't want to fight for it, but they forced me!"
Mu Feng watched Du Jiaojiao get into the car, and the smile on his face vanished.
Xiao Qi quickly walked up to him, "Young Master, we've sent people to follow that guy. We should be able to find out who's behind this soon."
"No need to follow. Capture him directly and use the clues he provides. Old Lu is still waiting for me. I need to talk to him about something."
"Take him down and bring him here directly."
