Chapter 104: Professor Shu's Invitation

September 7th,

The large villa where Guo Yanru lives.

The living room was filled with standing people.

Two women in camouflage uniforms, hands clasped behind their backs, stood in a straight line.

Next to them were twelve more people: three ordinary‑looking middle‑aged men, and four children and elders.

All twelve were family members of those in camouflage.

While the camouflaged ones stood, Lin Feng and Zhao Xiaoyang felt embarrassed to sit.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Everyone, I don't have many rules here; you already know why you've come.

Salary and benefits, I believe Major Bai has already explained, so let's sign the contract now!"

After speaking, Zhao Xiaoyang produced a large stack of contracts and handed them out to the 25 veteran women soldiers.

The contracts contained no harsh conditions.

After reading them, everyone signed and stamped their fingerprints.

After the contracts were signed, Lin Feng added, "I'm a layman on security, you're the experts; I'll follow your advice. Right now there are two daily protection subjects…"

Lin Feng briefly described the situations of Guo Yanru and Liang Shishi.

Then the veteran women soldiers began to discuss.

Following Lin Feng's suggestion, they kept fifteen people to handle Guo Yanru's security.

The fifteen could work three shifts, providing round‑the‑clock close protection for Guo Yanru.

The remaining ten were dispatched to the Jinhu Huayuan residential area.

Next, Lin Feng also made arrangements for their families.

Children who should go to kindergarten were sent to kindergarten; those who should attend primary school were sent to primary school.

Of course, tuition and such had to be paid by them.

"Little brother, have a smoke!"

After the arrangements, a middle‑aged man stepped forward, took out a cigarette and tried to get friendly with Lin Feng.

It was a pack that cost only a few yuan.

Lin Feng didn't reject it, and smiled as he took it.

The middle‑aged man handed another to Zhao Xiaoyang.

The three lit the cigarettes and began smoking.

The smoke was a bit harsh.

At that moment, a short‑haired woman in camouflage walked over and slapped the middle‑aged man on the back of his head, "The doctor told you not to smoke, and you still do!"

The man quickly extinguished his cigarette and scurried away.

Her husband, named Zhang Yan, is thirty‑two and has a four‑and‑a‑half‑year‑old daughter.

After scolding her husband, Zhang Yan, with an embarrassed face, said to Lin Feng, "Boss, sorry! My husband's health has been poor lately; the doctor told him to quit smoking."

Lin Feng nodded, "Got it! He should be properly disciplined!"

Zhang Yan smiled, quickly grabbed her husband and daughter, and left.

Lin Feng and Zhao Xiaoyang exchanged a glance and pressed the half‑smoked cigarettes into the ashtray.

"What a fierce wife at home!"

Lin Feng sighed.

Zhao Xiaoyang whispered, "If only I had a wife like that!"

Aunt Wang has been nagging in Zhao Xiaoyang's ear since childhood, saying he should find a daughter‑in‑law who can keep him in line.

Having heard that for so many years, Zhao Xiaoyang has been subtly influenced.

Lin Feng smiled, "Your idea is good; there are many unmarried people here! Want to …"

Zhao Xiaoyang quickly shook his head, "Forget it, if I married such a wife, I wouldn't dare go out and have fun."

That afternoon, the security work began normally.

After Guo Yanru finished work and stepped out of the basement elevator shaft,

two female security guards in white shirts, black trousers, black leather shoes, and black ties were already following behind her.

After escorting Guo Yanru to a red sports car, the two drove out a brand‑new black SUV from the parking spot.

One vehicle led the way, with another following behind.

In total four people handled Guo Yanru's transport.

After a little over half an hour, they arrived at the villa entrance, and the two female guards opened the gate.

Back home, Guo Yanru immediately called Lin Feng.

"Honey, it feels strange! From now on, will there always be someone following me whenever I go out?"

Lin Feng explained, "You're different now than before; haven't you read the financial magazine? Your fame is almost catching up with my aunt."

Right now you're just newly famous, but after a while, not only schemers but even paparazzi will stalk you.

Without tight security, your private life would be exposed to the whole nation, making you an online hot‑topic figure.

There will be praise, but also attacks and insults, so please from now on obediently follow the female guards' arrangements and don't be willful, understand?"

Guo Yanru pouted, "Why do I feel like I'm taking the blame for you?"

"Don't you want to?"

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Guo Yanru said, "Don't talk about taking the blame; I'd even be willing to shield you from bullets!"

"Has your aunt left yet?" Lin Feng asked.

Guo Yanru laughed and said, "If our mother heard this, she'd beat you up; my aunt is doing just fine now!"

After speaking, Guo Yanru complained, "Now that I'm older, I have to hustle seven or eight days each month! So annoying!"

"Drink more hot water…" After saying that, Lin Feng felt a bit guilty.

But Guo Yanru just hummed in response.

After chatting a while longer, Guo Yanru finally went into the bathroom.

Throughout the Bieshu, in just an afternoon, many surveillance cameras were installed.

In a room in the basement, someone was watching those camera feeds twenty‑four hours a day.

The retired female soldiers introduced by Bai Ying were all professionals.

On the other side, Liang Shishi also received the same treatment as Guo Yanru.

She was escorted by four female security guards back to the Jinhu Huayuan residential complex.

In fact, during this period, Liang Shishi became irritated from being stalked by some paparazzi.

Entertainment newspapers almost daily featured gossip about her.

Besides news of her attending various events, there was even more digging into her private life.

Rumors claimed Liang Shishi was a married woman, her husband a big shot abroad.

Others said she was currently single, and so on.

As the queen of the media world, Liang Shishi could have suppressed those rumors.

But thinking she also needed that fame, she pretended not to see them.

Yet if anyone maliciously insulted or defamed her, that would be different…

As Great Flag Media grew, Liang Shishi's notoriety kept rising.

Some so‑called successful men, or those who think they can make a living off their looks and consider themselves handsome, began to stir.

Whether intentional or not, they all wanted to create a chance to approach Liang Shishi.

If the ice‑queen Liang Nuwang were to take a liking to them, they'd have to struggle at least another twenty years!

Unfortunately, Liang Nuwang leads a monotonous life.

After work she goes straight home; even when she attends events, she stays in a hotel and doesn't go out unless necessary.

As for shopping, clubbing, movies, etc., the paparazzi have followed her for a long time and only ever saw Liang Shishi go out to buy groceries.

When Liang Shishi returned to unit 6‑901 of Jinhu Huayuan, she collapsed onto the sofa, looking exhausted.

As if suddenly she had become the focus of the world.

Being watched constantly feels really awful.

How can they later happily hang out openly with Lin Feng?

Probably as soon as Lin Feng steps in, someone will notice, and the next day's entertainment news will read that Liang Nuwang spent a night in a room with some young man…

While worrying, the doorbell rang.

Liang Shishi peeked through the peephole, then happily opened the door.

It's Lin Feng!

"Good evening, auntie!"

Liang Shishi immediately stuck her head out to look again.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry! No one will notice."

After entering the house, Lin Feng took a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Liang Shishi.

"What is this?"

Liang Shishi took the exquisite keys and asked curiously.

"It's a Bieshu, not very large, over in Xishan, a standalone Bieshu covering about 500 square meters, fully renovated.

For the monthly rent, just give two hundred thousand, deposit ten thousand, and you have to cover the security fees yourself…"

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Liang Shishi grabbed a cushion and slammed it at him, "I'm your aunt, and you dare charge me rent! I told you to charge! I told you to charge…"

Lin Feng took a few hits and quickly dodged aside.

Then he laughed, "If you don't rent, fine! I'll rent it to Yao Yao…"

Lin Feng hadn't finished when Liang Shishi widened her eyes, "Stop talking, I'll rent!"

Huh~

Lin Feng suddenly realized his aunt seemed a bit afraid of Qi Yao.

Because Qi Yao carries a Scalpel every day?

Or is Qi Yao's image in Liang Shishi's mind a disheveled hair, evil grin…?

When will aunt get to meet Yao Yao, otherwise the misunderstanding will grow.

Lin Feng rents houses without regard to kinship.

He immediately produced the lease contract.

Liang Shishi looked and saw a clause: after twenty years of rent, the Bieshu would be hers.

That's even more cost‑effective than buying!

"Kid, you're so rich, couldn't you just give it to aunt? Insisting on this!"

Liang Shishi scolded.

Lin Feng chuckled, "I'm afraid you'll spend lavishly, and I'm also afraid your company will go bankrupt, so I'm saving money for you!"

Liang Shishi signed, "I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow."

Lin Feng made an OK sign.

Then, Liang Shishi stared at Lin Feng like a tiger that hasn't eaten in days seeing its prey.

Unfortunately, before she could launch her predatory action, Lin Feng's phone rang.

Lin Feng pulled out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was Shu Jingya calling.

Shu Jingya, the bespectacled female scholar who sways with extraordinary grace when she walks.

"Shuya sis!"

Lin Feng shouted into the phone.

Shu Jingya said, "You still call me sis?! It's been so long you haven't called me; you must have forgotten me already!"

Lin Feng laughed and said, "How could I?! I've been busy lately."

Shu Jingya said, "There's a treasure-hunting project; are you interested in investing?"

"Of course I'm interested, but I need to take a look first."

"That's natural, but I have no time this weekend; come over next Monday and we'll talk."

"Okay!"

Lin Feng nodded and agreed.

After hanging up, Liang Shishi looked at Lin Feng with a strange gaze and said, "After that Yanru sis, now you have another sis?"

Lin Feng explained, "A visiting professor at the university; she asked if I was interested in a treasure-hunting project."

Liang Shishi showed interest, saying, "This is the first time I've heard of such a project; tell Auntie about it."

Saying that, she patted the cushion in front of her.

Lin Feng had just sat down when Liang Shishi pounced on him.

It turned out she was afraid Lin Feng would run away, so she deliberately lured him to sit down.

The tiger moms are all well versed in the art of predation.

"Stop! Quickly stop..."

Lin Feng shouted in panic.

After Liang Shishi caught Lin Feng's weak point, she laughed and said, "Now you can speak!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and began to explain, "You know there are many hidden treasures in the world; if we find the treasure clues..."
