Chapter 457: A Beast in Sheep's Clothing!

Feng Lin wakes up around three or four in the afternoon every day.

Opening his phone to look, he finds there are unexpectedly many missed calls.

Feng Lin dials back, feeling somewhat displeased.

"Don't you know my schedule? Why are you calling me so many times?"

"Young Master Feng, President Wu didn't come to work today, and his phone is turned off," the assistant reports cautiously.

Feng Lin pauses for a moment, then grumbles with a curse: "He must have drunk too much last night. I'll contact him later!"

Feng Lin hangs up the phone and glances at the woman lying beside him; she has not yet woken up.

Recalling the scene from last night, a weary smile appears at the corners of Feng Lin's mouth.

After showering, Feng Lin puts on formal attire, takes a stack of money from his bag, places it on the nightstand, and leaves without looking back.

Feng Lin has been thinking of Cao Lingling recently.

It is still that bad woman Cao Lingling who makes him unable to forget her.

The driver is already waiting downstairs, and the assistant reports to Feng Lin: "President Feng, this afternoon we are to attend a donation event at the Suiyuan County School for the Deaf and Mute!"

Feng Lin nods slightly, thinking to himself: Sun Linong really knows how to find things for himself to do; even after donating the money, he still has to put on a show.

He knows that Sun Linong wants to enter the City Bureau recently, so he needs political achievements.

Sun Linong is the Director of the County Garden Bureau, and since he asked him to donate one hundred thousand yuan to the school for the deaf and mute, Feng Lin finds it hard to refuse.

After all, he has calculated the accounts; every year, from this Suiyuan Gardening Bureau sector alone, he can get a fixed profit of over ten million.

Half an hour later, Feng Lin arrives at the County School for the Deaf and Mute.

Principal Wei stands at the entrance to welcome him personally.

"President Feng, welcome to our school."

With a smile on his face, Feng Lin says hypocritically: "Principal Wei, you are too polite. Contributing a modest effort to public welfare is our enterprise's responsibility. We will continue to support your school in the future."

A look of excitement appears in Principal Wei's eyes: "I thank you on behalf of the children."

Next is the donation ceremony. Feng Lin stands on the stage, his gaze falling on the female student at the very front. This girl has delicate features, a tall figure, and a very good temperament; he sighs to himself: it is a pity that this female student is deaf and mute.

After the ceremony, the group goes to a high-end hotel in the county to dine.

Feng Lin has only been seated for a short while.

Sun Linong says with a smile: "President Feng, to thank you for your support of Suiyuan's public welfare, the school for the deaf and mute has specially arranged a dance performance."

Feng Lin laughs in spite of himself: "Director Sun, this is truly a surprise."

Sun Linong nods toward Principal Wei.

Principal Wei walks out of the private room and subsequently leads a female student into the room.

Feng Lin's eyes light up; this female student is unexpectedly the very one he had taken a fancy to at a glance during the donation ceremony.

Sun Linong leans into Feng Lin's ear and whispers: "This girl's name is Yao Ying. She started practicing dance at the age of eight. She lost her hearing due to a high fever when she was three. But she has persisted in practicing dance, and last year she participated in the provincial dance competition and won a gold medal."

Sun Linong has just finished speaking.

The music starts, and accompanied by the melodious rhythm, Yao Ying dances gracefully, every movement fluid, like a light butterfly.

When the song ends, Feng Lin is actually stunned; only when he hears the people around him applauding does he clap his hands lightly.

He then beckons to the assistant not far away and whispers in his ear: "This female student is not bad."

The assistant reacts quickly: "President Feng, please rest assured, I will arrange it."

The meal ends, and Principal Wei gets into the car, only to find that Yao Ying has not boarded, so she asks with a frown: "Driver, my student hasn't gotten on!"

"Principal Wei, that female student is in the other car," the driver says softly, "Our car still has to wait for a few leaders from the Garden Bureau, and it is already full."

A look of gravity appears in Principal Wei's eyes, and she feels uneasy in her heart.

Upon arriving at the school, Principal Wei finds that the car Yao Ying was in has not returned, realizes something is wrong, and hurriedly dials Sun Linong's phone number.

Sun Linong has drunk quite a bit of alcohol today, but his mind is very clear: "Principal Wei, I have already arrived home. Please rest assured."

Principal Wei takes a deep breath and says in a serious tone: "Director Sun, my student has not returned yet. Where is she now? Please send her back immediately. Otherwise, I am going to call the police!"

Sun Linong is slightly taken aback and laughs: "Principal Wei, why are you calling the police? Your student should be with President Feng; don't worry, she won't have any trouble."

Principal Wei freezes in place: "Director Sun, don't joke around. Yao Ying is still young, and she is very timid; don't scare her."

Sun Linong frowns: "Principal Wei, I already hinted to you today that we needed to prepare a program for President Feng. At eighteen, she is an adult, not a child. Besides, President Feng is so capable and likes her very much; perhaps he will give her a boost—this is her opportunity."

At this moment, Principal Wei finally realizes what Yao Ying is about to face; she trembles with rage and warns: "Sun Linong, if anything happens to her, I will definitely not spare you."

Seeing that Principal Wei is so unappreciative, Sun Linong hangs up the phone directly, thinking to himself: Your student was noticed by someone, what does that have to do with me?

Why are you stopping others from climbing the social ladder?

Principal Wei treats every student in the school as her own child. The children at the school for the deaf and mute are all boarders; parents entrust their disabled children to her, and she has a responsibility to protect everyone well.

She now regrets it immensely; if she had known, she would have refused this donation. She had originally thought Feng Lin was a kind-hearted young entrepreneur, but she never expected him to be a beast in sheep's clothing.

In utter desperation, a name flashes through Principal Wei's mind: Should she try calling Deputy County Party Secretary Cheng Lin?

Only by finding Cheng Lin now might there be a chance to help the student escape the clutches of the devil.

Principal Wei dials Cheng Lin's number: "Secretary Cheng, there is a matter I need to report to you. A student at our school is in great danger right now. This afternoon, an entrepreneur came to the school to participate in a donation event. After the event ended, I took her to attend a social engagement, but she hasn't returned yet, and I'm worried something has happened to her."

Cheng Lin frowns: "Don't be anxious; tell me the specific situation."

Principal Wei says softly: "This donation was secured with the help of the County Garden Bureau, and the other party is a landscaping engineering company. Judging by what Sun Linong meant, the president of that company has taken a fancy to that student. She is only eighteen, and I'm afraid she will suffer."

Cheng Lin takes a deep breath: "Don't be anxious; I will arrange for people to find her whereabouts right now, and I will let you know immediately if there is any news."

Hanging up Principal Wei's call, Cheng Lin immediately thinks of Tang Ye, and she hurriedly presses the familiar number.

Tang Ye answers quickly!

"Sister, is something the matter so late?"

"Tang Ye, there is a matter that needs you to handle urgently..."
