A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Eyes facing each other.

Meng Zhixue realized she had spoken out of turn, gave an embarrassed smile, shrank back, and quickly closed the door.

Xie Lingfeng gave a dangerous twitch of his lips, deciding not to argue with the dim-witted coward for now, and to take care of the wound that had reopened due to being pressed down first.

But the next second, his door was opened again.

Meng Zhixue stood with her back to him in the doorway, speaking with her head turned towards him: "Xie Lingfeng, could you please take that box of gold bars under my bed? Those things are too valuable!"

"..." Xie Lingfeng retorted, "What, are you afraid you won't be able to resist the temptation?"

"Are you kidding? Would I resist temptation?" Meng Zhixue's voice was full of righteousness. "Although I like money, I don't have the guts to steal other people's money!"

Xie Lingfeng: "..."

He had never met anyone in his life who could talk about being cowardly so confidently.

Seeing that Meng Zhixue wasn't planning to leave unless he agreed, he lazily said, "Don't worry."

But it didn't say whether or not to take it.

Meng Zhixue was overjoyed, taking it as a yes, and immediately said "thank you," closed the door, and left.

The door was closed again. Xie Lingfeng chuckled, placed the alcohol bottle on the dresser, and picked up the hemostatic spray.

After the bandage was re-bandaged, the phone rang.

Xie Lingfeng put on her Bluetooth earphones: "What are you doing?"

"...Where are you?" Wen Jueming rarely lost his temper. "I just washed my hands and you vanished. Don't you even respect me as a doctor?"

Xie Lingfeng answered truthfully: "No."

"Where are you now?" Wen Jueming asked again.

"at home."

"Why go home?"

"Take the dagger."

"Don't you always carry one with you?"

"It's lost."

"Lost?" Wen Jueming asked incredulously. "That's your lifeline. You might be missing, but you couldn't possibly be missing your dagger, could you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. My manhood is still on me, it's not lost," Xie Lingfeng said nonchalantly.

Wen Jueming: "...Be normal."

"To put it simply, today I did a good deed, and some scumbag got stabbed in the shoulder by me and ran off with my knife." Xie Lingfeng was speechless. "My knife is more valuable than his. When I find him, I'm going to kill him!"

Wen Jueming asked in confusion, "Is this how you got your injuries? I never thought you were such a kind person, so why did you suddenly become a hero today?"

Xie Lingfeng neither agreed nor disagreed.

He is definitely not the type to meddle in other people's business. He sees extortion and blackmail but doesn't even blink. He has no sympathy for the weak.

But today, as he drove through a small alley, he saw several thugs dragging a high school girl in a school uniform into a dark alley. For some reason, the girl's desperate and helpless eyes triggered him.

By the time he came to his senses, his fist had already smashed into one of the thugs' faces.

...Then let's keep fighting.

What followed was a chaotic melee.

With his skills, he could easily take on ten opponents, but those bastards were all carrying fruit knives.

Some jerk attacked him while he was calling the police on his phone, and gave him a cut.

There was another loser who tried to run away, and was stabbed in the shoulder with a dagger, but he still managed to escape with the dagger despite his disability...

What the hell is this bad luck!

Finally, he handed over the thugs whose legs he had broken to the police, but his dagger was temporarily lost.

Wen Jueming sighed, "If Zhou Yu knew, he'd also admire your dedication to the country and its people. By the way, have you treated your wound?"

Xie Lingfeng: "..."

He cleared his throat and touched his nose.

For some reason, hearing Zhou Yu's name suddenly made him feel uneasy, as if he had done something to betray his brother and was being questioned about it.

But does it exist?

not at all!

"It's a minor injury, I took care of it myself." Xie Lingfeng replied simply and hung up the phone, not caring whether Wen Jueming on the other end would be even angrier.

I've taken the dagger; it's time to go.

Xie Lingfeng habitually walked towards the door, but after thinking for a moment, he took two steps back.

I opened the window, and a gust of wind immediately blew in.

He leaped onto the windowsill and jumped down, landing easily and calmly on the glass roof of the sunroom downstairs. Then, he scaled the courtyard wall, disappearing over the top of the wall in a few swift movements, like a swift and agile cheetah.

……

Xie Lingfeng never took the gold bars from under the bed. Meng Zhixue only realized it was gone on the third day at noon.

Sure enough, what I said yesterday about bullying her for half a month was just to scare her.

The bigwigs in the entertainment industry don't have time to make things difficult for a small-time citizen like her. They'd rather stir up trouble in the industry.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still pounding.

Forgive her, she really had never seen so much money before, and she had the kind of worries and fears that come with being a small-town person. She never imagined that one day she would have to worry about whether the money of capitalists could be protected.

My phone suddenly started vibrating.

Lying on the bed, Meng Zhixue opened the message and saw that it was from Xie Wei.

Xie Wei rarely shares her life on social media, but after going on her honeymoon, she shares travel photos with me every day.

Seeing Xie Wei leaning gently on Yu Xuechen's shoulder, smiling sweetly and beautifully, Meng Zhixue couldn't help but smile along.

After laughing, her eyes lit up again.

Now that Xie Lingfeng is gone, his previous threats are no longer valid. She can talk to Sister Xie Wei about his return home and the gold bars, right?

Without hesitation, Meng Zhixue typed rapidly and sent a message to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei replied via voice message: "You're saying Ling Feng hid the gold bars under your bed?"

She couldn't help but laugh: "I was wondering why I hadn't seen his gold bars all these years. I thought he had taken them to the bank."

"Those gold bars were left to us by my mother. I said they were for my dowry, and he said they were for him to find a wife. In reality, they were just symbolic."

"Lingfeng has installed a lot of surveillance cameras around the villa, so the gold bars won't get stolen if they're kept at home. Don't worry."

"..."

Meng Zhixue was dumbfounded. So, she was sleeping on Xie Lingfeng's wife's book?

She still needs to find Xie Lingfeng.

She was afraid that if she disliked Xie Lingfeng, she would boldly steal his dowry to prevent him from getting married.

That's illegal.

Remembering that she had added Xie Lingfeng on WeChat, she sent him a message: "Mr. Xie, when are you going to take the gold bars?"

After a while, Xie Lingfeng replied: [Tonight, after 11 PM.]

Meng Zhixue: "..."

So late?

She was troubled about when to meet Xie Lingfeng, but then she suddenly remembered something: Zhou Yu was returning to China tonight and might come looking for her.

Let's meet together then, it's safe and convenient!

perfect!
