A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

Ye Feng's stomach hurt after that meal!

Since Lin Yuqing had used the pretext of "visiting relatives," she naturally decided to stay and not leave.

Out of consideration for her reputation, Zhu Wanqing naturally couldn't kick out the big boss, President Lin, so she could only have someone host a lunch at the Zhu family home.

A small round table made of rosewood, with Ye Feng sitting in the middle, Lin Yuqing on his left and Zhu Wanqing on his right.

The two women, one elegant and noble, the other ethereal and otherworldly, were openly and secretly vying for power, their words dripping with sarcasm and biting veil, using the pitiful Ye Feng, caught in the middle, as their mouthpiece and punching bag.

"Mr. Ye, please eat more of this." Zhu Wanqing picked up a piece of cordyceps and pigeon soup with her chopsticks and put it into Ye Feng's bowl, emphasizing the words "Mr. Ye" with particular emphasis: "This is the best soup I make for my grandfather to nourish his body. It's very nutritious. You've been working hard giving my grandfather acupuncture these past few days, and you must be exhausted. You should replenish your nutrition, shouldn't you?"

"He doesn't like this." Lin Yu quickly picked up a braised lion's head meatball and placed it in front of Ye Feng, secretly moving the pigeon soup aside. "He likes hearty foods like braised pork and lion's head meatballs. My family, Lin's, makes him different dishes every day. Right, Ye Feng?"

"..."

Ye Feng shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice down his throat, his nose and eyes darting around, without uttering a single word.

If he said yes, the man on the right would turn completely black-faced.

"Mr. Ye is a great benefactor to my Zhu family and an important guest of ours." Not to be outdone, Zhu Wanqing served him another spoonful of soup, making a show of it.

"He's in my Lin family home, and I've arranged for someone to prepare the best courtyard for you." Lin Yuqing slowly added another veiled insult, staring at Zhu Wanqing with a half-smile, making the word "best" very clear, the meaning of which was very clear: how important I am to the Lin family.

"You!" Zhu Wanqing gripped the chopsticks in her hand tightly, her composed demeanor almost vanishing.

Ye Feng buried his head in his food, minimizing his presence as much as possible, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself in it. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two troublemakers. The only thing he could do was to eat obediently and try to get full as soon as possible to leave this hell.

But the two of them were locked in a fierce argument, neither willing to back down, and the argument grew increasingly heated. He ended up eating nothing but dog food during his meal, and the abundant food on the table didn't taste good at all.

One minute it's "Mr. Ye, try this," the next it's "He won't eat that," one minute it's comparing who cares about whom, the next it's comparing who has a better relationship with him. These two women, who would tremble if they stepped on a cockroach, are arguing like two roosters over such a boorish man.

"You two... could you... let me have a proper meal... I feel so awful..." He couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "I'm exhausted, so exhausted! I have to worry about averting my death, and I'm afraid of being haunted by those evil spirits from the Li family. I also come to you every day to get acupuncture treatment..."

"The Li family?" The two women were immediately drawn to these two words and looked at him together, forgetting their previous tense atmosphere.

Lin Yuqing frowned: "What are you talking about, the Li family?"

Ye Feng suddenly remembered that Qin Yu had made a call to the "Li family" in front of the Lin family's house that day with his back turned, and he hadn't told Lin Yuqing about it yet!

He put down his chopsticks and bowl, becoming unusually serious.

The tense atmosphere that had just been simmering on the table vanished the moment the words "Li family" touched the ground! The two women, who had been locked in a fierce battle, fell silent and stared at him.

—Who among the four great families doesn't know that the Li family is ruthless? Who was it that drugged Lin Yuqing that night and followed her? It was someone from the Li family! With such great power, those two words carry too much weight, enough to make two jealous women instantly lose their scheming.

"That day, when Qin Yu left your house," he looked at Lin Yuqing, "he made a phone call right in front of the gate. I was a bit close, and I heard him shout a word into the phone, and that word was his surname—Li."

Lin Yuqing's expression changed instantly.

The Li family!

The people who drugged Lin Yuqing at the charity banquet that night, chased her in their car, and tried to kill her with a knife were from the Li family!

"The Qin family and the Li family have colluded?" Lin Yuqing's voice turned icy cold.

"Most likely." Ye Feng nodded, then explained, "Think about it too. The Li family made their move in the shadows, drugging you and hunting you down, creating a complete mess and ruining your reputation and mental state; then the Qin family appeared in the open, staging a 'marriage to escape trouble' show. One played the good cop, the other the bad cop; one was trying to kill you, while the other pretended to care and rescue you. The whole thing was so tightly coordinated that there was most likely a pair of hands manipulating it all."

Zhu Wanqing listened silently, her expression also tense.

Although she doesn't get involved in the power struggles between the four major families, she knows that such a battle between equals is definitely not going to be a disadvantage, and it's far more complicated than just inviting someone to dinner.

Lin Yuqing remained silent for a long time. The knuckles of her hands, which were holding the cup, turned a faint bluish-white.

Just now, I was having a little emotional battle with Zhu Wanqing, but now my emotions have been replaced by a strong sense of ruthlessness. Drugging, chasing, ruining my reputation, scheming against my mother, forcing me into a marriage alliance, and so on—all of this was orchestrated by the same hand.

She is Lin Yuqing, how could she feel like she's being schemed against!

"It seems," she said slowly, her eyes as cold as knives, "that we should go and find those two families. I want to see who has the audacity to scheme against my Lin family."

"Don't rush!" Ye Feng grabbed her again. "The enemy is in the shadows, while we're in the light. If we rashly break off relations under these circumstances, we'll be playing right into their hands! Let's investigate this thoroughly first—whether it's three companies working together or someone behind it all. Once we've found out, we can strike decisively!"

Lin Yuqing took a deep breath, her impulsive killing intent instantly subdued. Seeing Ye Feng's composure and strategic planning in the face of danger, her panic inexplicably subsided.

With him around, the sky won't fall!

Zhu Wanqing, who was standing next to her, was also stunned. She had just thought that Ye Feng was at most a village doctor with some skills, but she never expected him to be this kind of person!

Vision! Open-mindedness! The composure to face danger!

She was genuinely curious: why was this guy wearing a tank top and slippers, and spewing out a ton of chauvinistic swear words? Was he some kind of gangster?

Just who is this kid?

Ye Feng turned to look at Lin Yuqing: "This woman has a foul mouth, is domineering, and loves to throw tantrums, but when a tsunami really hits, her stubbornness and ferocity are in no way inferior to anyone else... Hehe, at such a young age, she's already managed such a large business for the Lin family, and she's very comfortable in her position as president!"

He suddenly realized that he had found the right person to be his boss, really.

The meal ended in a somber atmosphere...
