Chapter 385: Secret Investigation

Lin Jingying was truly mortified, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.

After much persuasion, Lin Feng and Lin Jingying finally succeeded in getting Tong Xiaoxue to go upstairs and return to her room.

The next afternoon, Lin Jingying had to go out for business, so Lin Feng prepared to take Xiaoxue out for a stroll.

Xiaoxue was extremely happy, jumping and skipping with a grin that stretched from ear to ear.

"Shopping! Shopping! Shopping!"

Xiaoxue waved her two little hands, looking incredibly cheerful.

Seeing this, Lin Feng asked with a smile, "Do you like shopping that much?"

"Of course! When we go shopping, I get to eat delicious food!" Xiaoxue said with innocent candor.

Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle, but at that moment, his phone suddenly rang.

He pulled out his phone and saw it was an unknown number, so he hung up, but he didn't expect the number to call back again immediately.

Lin Feng finally answered the call, and as soon as it connected, a woman's voice came through: "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Jiang Xueli, the female CEO of Xueli Group. We met yesterday afternoon in the Central Valley of Luoxing Mountain."

Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately understood who this woman was.

She was the woman in the suit he had slapped hard in the Central Valley of Luoxing Mountain yesterday afternoon!

But how did she know his phone number?

Lin Feng then asked, "How did you get my contact information?"

Jiang Xueli laughed, "I am, after all, the CEO of Xueli Group; don't underestimate me. Besides, in this day and age, there's nothing you can't do if you have money. Finding someone to help investigate is an easy task."

"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Feng frowned tightly.

Jiang Xueli said, "I want to hire you as my bodyguard. You are so powerful; if you were my bodyguard, my safety would certainly be guaranteed."

"Let me be your bodyguard? In your dreams!" Lin Feng said bluntly.

Jiang Xueli said, "Mr. Lin, money is not an issue. As long as you agree to be my bodyguard, I will definitely give you a price that satisfies you."

Before Lin Feng could say anything else, Jiang Xueli continued, "Mr. Lin, what do you think of a ten-million annual salary?"

"I'm not interested," Lin Feng said.

"Twenty million!" Jiang Xueli immediately doubled it.

"I said, I'm not interested," Lin Feng said with displeasure.

"Thirty million!" Jiang Xueli upped the offer again.

Lin Feng said coldly, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you come to bother me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Once he finished speaking, Lin Feng hung up the phone and casually added Jiang Xueli's number to his blacklist.

In a certain luxury mansion, Jiang Xueli looked at her phone, her face full of anger.

"Hanging up on me is one thing, but she actually added me to a blacklist, how hateful..."

"Do you think you're so great just because you can fight!"

Jiang Xueli muttered to herself, her teeth grinding audibly.

"Uncle, who was calling you?" Tong Xiaoxue asked with her little face tilted, looking very curious.

"A lunatic," Lin Feng said.

Tong Xiaoxue wanted to ask more, but Lin Feng had already scooped her up.

"Forget about that lunatic. Come on, I'll take you shopping, let's go eat something delicious!" Lin Feng smiled.

"Yay, that's great!"

Tong Xiaoxue said excitedly, wrapping her arms around Lin Feng's neck and voluntarily giving him a sweet kiss, planting one peck after another on his face.

It must be said that this little girl Xiaoxue is truly a little foodie; from the moment they left the house until they arrived at the city center, her mouth barely stopped moving, eating whatever she saw.

Looking at Xiaoxue's belly, Lin Feng secretly wondered if this little girl's stomach was a bottomless pit.

There was a fast-food restaurant ahead, so Tong Xiaoxue tapped Lin Feng's shoulder repeatedly, pointing at the restaurant and saying, "Uncle, I want to eat that! I want to eat that!"

"Alright, alright, I'll take you to eat it," Lin Feng said with a wry smile.

Walking into the fast-food restaurant, Lin Feng bought her a kid's meal at Tong Xiaoxue's strong insistence, which included a burger, fries, fried chicken, and a large cup of cola.

Tong Xiaoxue ate until her mouth was oily, her bright, watery eyes curving into crescents.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly.

Because in the corner of this fast-food restaurant sat a man and a woman; the man was a young man in casual clothes, and the woman was none other than the female CEO of Xueli Group, Jiang Xueli!

The moment he saw Jiang Xueli, Lin Feng thought this woman was following him.

But after observing for a moment, he realized that was not the case; Jiang Xueli hadn't noticed him there at all, and from start to finish, she hadn't glanced toward Lin Feng's side once.

"What's wrong, Uncle?" Seeing Lin Feng's tightly furrowed brows, Tong Xiaoxue's expression immediately became cautious.

Before Lin Feng could speak, Tong Xiaoxue continued, "Uncle, are you annoyed that Xiaoxue is eating too much? Xiaoxue will be full after finishing this, I won't eat anymore."

"It's fine, you keep eating, Uncle is just thinking about something else," Lin Feng said.

Tong Xiaoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Tong Xiaoxue finished the kid's meal in front of her, Lin Feng picked her up and headed to the counter to pay and prepare to leave.

Just then, Jiang Xueli and the young man also walked over.

Yet, even now, face-to-face, Jiang Xueli didn't spare Lin Feng a second glance.

Lin Feng found it even stranger.

Jiang Xueli had called not long ago, offering a sky-high price to hire him as a bodyguard, but now that she saw him, she acted as if he didn't exist, completely ignoring him.

This was clearly not right!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng took the initiative to greet her: "You're eating here too?"

Jiang Xueli looked at Lin Feng in confusion, frowned, and said, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"You don't recognize me? We only met yesterday..."

Before Lin Feng could finish his sentence, the young man stepped between the two of them, shielding Jiang Xueli behind him.

"I'm still standing right here, and you're already hitting on my girlfriend; is that appropriate?" the young man asked with a smile.

Lin Feng said, "I apologize, it was presumptuous of me."

The young man glanced at Lin Feng, and seeing that Lin Feng was dressed very ordinarily and was holding a child in his arms, he said nothing more; after paying the bill, he took Jiang Xueli's hand and walked toward the outside.

Lin Feng raised his right hand and tapped lightly, and a streak of invisible True Qi instantly shot out, striking Jiang Xueli's body.

This streak of True Qi was like a marker, allowing Lin Feng to sense Jiang Xueli's location by means of it.

Moreover, this True Qi was extremely covert; not a single person at the scene noticed anything amiss.

After coming out of this fast-food restaurant, Lin Feng took out his phone and called Yang Lili, but he did not expect that Yang Lili was busy right now.

"I'm in class at school; is there something you need?" Yang Lili asked in a lowered voice on the other end of the phone.
