The bell rang for a break.

People dispersed, leaving in twos and threes.

Lin Yuqing pulled Ye Feng along and jogged out of the conference room.

Until you reach the end of the corridor, before the floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the city.

After confirming that no one was around.

Lin Yuqing let out a long, long breath!

My back, which had been tense all morning, finally started to relax.

"Thank goodness you said something!"

She turned around, looked at Ye Feng, her face filled with gratitude and lingering fear. "I was really backed into a corner just now! My mind was buzzing, my brain was completely blank. Your words were like a ray of light shining through!"

"Good job catching it yourself!"

Ye Feng shook his hand, not taking credit.

His expression turned serious.

"Boss Lin, don't be too smug! The trouble isn't over yet. Your move to cut off their supply lines just now forced Zhao Dehai to be hesitant and dare not act too recklessly against your mother's shares. But that's just someone who doesn't have a say. The real troublemaker is that CDH Investments!"

"Huh?" Lin Yuqing's eyebrows furrowed deeply. "A company whose name I've never heard of has actually jumped out at this time to acquire a portion of our Lin Group's shares, and even dares to stand up for my disgraced uncle. There's definitely something fishy going on behind this!"

She has worked her way up in the business world for many years.

What kind of enemy hasn't she encountered?

But this time, the person was hiding in the darkness, revealing only a white glove, leaving her with strength but nowhere to use it!

"If we figure this out, we've already won half the battle."

Ye Feng murmured.

Then he walked to the side and took out an old cell phone from his pocket, the kind with a chipped screen that had been used for who knows how many years.

Lin Yuqing found it strange. This guy was used to spending money lavishly and always wanted money as soon as he opened his mouth, but the mobile phone he used was so bad, it was like that of a migrant worker who had just arrived in the city!

Just then, Ye Feng took out a number and dialed it.

I tried calling for a long time but couldn't get through.

An elderly man's gentle and approachable voice came from across the room, tinged with a hint of hesitation, as if he'd been disturbed: "Feed? Who is it?"

"Old Zhou."

Ye Feng's way of speaking always has a different flavor!

That kind of manner that Lin Yuqing had never heard before was completely devoid of any roguishness or vulgarity; it was only the polite, earnest respect and sincerity of a junior towards an elder!

"I am Ye Feng, a disciple of Yue Zhichang of Nirvana Mountain! Three years ago, my master asked me to deliver a bottle of 'Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass' to you. Do you... remember?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone!

Then, the aged voice suddenly became excited, its breathing becoming rapid, "Nirvana Mountain! The disciple of the Divine Physician Yue?! I remember! How could I not remember! Back then, when I was on my deathbed, all the famous doctors in the entire capital said there was no hope, but it was the Divine Physician Yue's 'Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass' that pulled me back from the coffin! This life was given to me by your sect!"

"My benefactor's esteemed disciple has descended the mountain? Good, good! Quickly tell me, what is it that you need me to do? As long as this old man still has the face to save, I will absolutely not refuse!"

Lin Yuqing stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.

Judging from his tone and manner, the "Old Zhou" on the other end of the phone was definitely not an ordinary person. He was very old and of very high status, and his words revealed the majesty of someone in a superior position. However, such a person was excited and grateful when he heard that Ye Feng was a disciple of his master. He was so polite and humble.

What an incredible kindness this must be for someone this old to remember it so vividly twenty years later?

Ye Feng then calmly explained the situation and his intentions: "Mr. Zhou, you misunderstand. I have a favor to ask you today. There's a company in Dongyang called CDH Investments. Could you tell me who the real owner is behind each layer of its shares?"

"CDH Capital..." Old Zhou pondered for a while, then immediately agreed, saying, "Just wait a moment, I'll have someone investigate right away. This kind of thing can be resolved in half an hour. With my benefactor's disciple's word, even if it's ten or twenty times more difficult, I'll take care of it for you!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder Zhou."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng put the old phone back into his pocket, his expression unchanged, as if it had just been an ordinary phone call.

However, the way Lin Yuqing looked at Ye Feng was completely different now.

"You..." It took her a while to find her voice, "What's wrong with you? You just made a random phone call, and the other person... someone like that was actually so polite and grateful to you?"

"Having saved so many people, naturally I have a lot of favors," Ye Feng said casually, with a matter-of-fact expression. "My master's lineage is renowned for its medical skills, capable of reviving the dead from the dead and retrieving spirits from the dead. Over the years, countless people have been saved from the clutches of death, both openly and secretly. Among them are quite a few... high-ranking officials and powerful figures who can command the wind and rain!"

After a pause, Ye Feng grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Well, when it comes to favors, you save one, you accumulate one, and over time, you weave a vast net, a net that can cover the entire world and be used to save lives."

"And now"

He winked at Lin Yuqing.

The sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

It landed on that nonchalant yet inexplicably reassuring face.

For the first time, she felt so clearly that what this bodyguard, whom she had picked up for 100,000 a month, was hiding was far more terrifying and much deeper than his slightly see-through vest and slippers.

This man is like a deep well; she's been digging in there for so long, but she still hasn't seen what's at the bottom.

"We have 20 minutes left before we take a break."

Ye Feng glanced at the clock at the end of the corridor and said slowly, "That's enough."

"What if...we can't find the cause?"

Lin Yuqing was still not entirely at ease. The other party dared to enter with white gloves, so their disguise must have been very sophisticated.

"It can be found."

Ye Feng said confidently, "Old Zhou's net is thicker than you think. No matter how deep the water, he can get you to the bottom. You," he looked at Lin Yuqing with unusual seriousness, "don't worry. In the next half hour, what you should be thinking about is not whether you can find out or not, but—once you have the details, where should you strike to kill her with one blow?"

Lin Yuqing was stunned.

That's right!

He provided the intelligence, but she still had to fight the battle herself! Now that she had gotten back the details of Dinghui, she had a chance to turn things around, but the opportunity was limited. She had to come up with a way, the best and fastest way, to strip away the other party's disguise in front of everyone.

Lin Yuqing closed her eyes and quickly thought.

If CDH Investments is backed by a party with vested interests that has had conflicts with the Lin family, then his claim of prioritizing the overall situation is untenable.

If it was already connected to Zhao Dehai, then this so-called extraordinary shareholders' meeting was nothing more than a conspiracy between the two of them...

Ideas formed one by one in Lin Yuqing's mind and gradually became clearer.

After opening her eyes, Lin Yuqing's gaze no longer held any panic; instead, it was filled with the calm and sharpness unique to the president of the Lin Group.

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Feng smiled, "This kid is teachable."

I sat by the window, hands in my pockets, and didn't say anything, just kept her company while she waited.

The sunlight shone on the two shadows, and for a moment, amidst the tense atmosphere, there seemed to be a rare moment of peace.

Twenty minutes passed in silent waiting, and before long, the meeting break bell was about to ring—

Ye Feng's old cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

The call was from Mr. Zhou.
