Chapter 352: Someone Wants to Borrow a Knife to Kill

It was 7 p. m. on the 8th.

Lin Feng drove and picked Qi Yao up, bringing her home.

Qi Yao took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and went to the kitchen to cook steak.

Lin Feng walked into her workspace and noticed that those strange containers had disappeared.

He walked to the kitchen doorway, saw Qi Yao searing steak, and curiously asked, "Where did the stuff in the room go?"

Qi Yao turned her head, glanced at Lin Feng, and said, "I've put them back at the bureau; my several papers are already finished."

Lin Feng let out an 'hmm'.

He knew Qi Yao was gradually handing over her work.

"I've quit smoking; it's been almost two months without a cigarette!"

Lin Feng said with a smile.

This was clearly a work report.

By year's end, having quit smoking for over half a year, he had fully completed the preparation plan Qi Yao had given him.

Standing to the side, watching Qi Yao cook steak was a pleasure for Lin Feng.

After more than ten minutes, Qi Yao had finished the steak and brought it to the table.

The red wine had also been aerated.

Lin Feng sat down and, unable to wait, picked up his knife and fork.

Qi Yao reminded him, "Don't drop your knife and fork."

"Ah~hmm!"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Nothing is allowed to be dropped."

Qi Yao emphasized again.

That final remark blocked every avenue for Lin Feng.

During the meal, Lin Feng refrained from mentioning anything unpleasant.

After he finished eating first, watching Qi Yao pause, Lin Feng's leg slipped.

"Ouch~"

He ended up falling to the ground.

Qi Yao gave a faint smile.

This guy's cheek is too thick; there's nothing to be done.

Seeing Qi Yao's smile, Lin Feng forgot everything.

It took a good while before he came to his senses.

"I know everything that's happened these days."

After Lin Feng sat down, he frowned and said.

Qi Yao remained silent.

If it were just an ordinary quarrel or such a trivial matter, she wouldn't care.

However, the other party actually threw sulfuric acid at her, which is unforgivable.

She knew Lin Feng would come back to handle this; no one could stop him.

"Tell me, what's going on with that autopsy report?"

Lin Feng asked.

Qi Yao said, "A girl broke up, committed suicide, and was pregnant with a child for over three months."

Her family privately approached me, not wanting me to write that the girl was pregnant on the report.

But this work is rigorous; not a single error can be tolerated, so I refused……

Later, the girl's parents, to my face, said some harsh words.

In fact, such things have happened before; bereaved family members, overcome with grief and anger, often say irrational things.

Afterward, accidents began to happen one after another……

After she finished, Lin Feng frowned and said, "This is your duty; you can't just shift your grief onto me, can you? This is too hateful!"

Qi Yao has been under considerable psychological pressure these days.

Lin Feng decided not to trouble her further.

He simply held her honestly, and they rested quietly through the night.

In the morning of the 9th, he saw Qi Yao off to work.

At noon, another Gulfstream of Lin Feng's landed at the airport.

Zhao Xiaoyang carried a case, and together with Liu Erwa, Duan Fei, and others, they walked out of the airport.

The password box contained a self‑destruct device; it surely hadn't passed security.

As for how Zhao Xiaoyang operated it, Lin Feng didn't ask.

All that mattered was retrieving the box successfully.

Lin Feng brought along Zhao Xiaoyang, Liu Erwa, Duan Fei, and Cai Hao.

The remaining four hailed a taxi.

Returning to the Sihe Courtyard, the kitchen had already prepared the food.

In the dining room, the two tables were quickly filled with food and drink.

Some were homemade in our own kitchen, some were ordered from the hotel.

Watching Zhao Xiaoyang and the others wolf down their food, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Isn't home‑cooked food still the best?"

Liu Erwa kept nodding, something in his mouth, buzzing, said, "Foreigners don't get what cooking is; no matter how good the ingredients, they end up either fishy or foul."

"Yeah, yeah! I'm about to vomit from eating."

"Home‑cooked meals are still the best."

After Alcohol and a full meal, Lin Feng handed a stack of documents to Zhao Xiaoyang.

All were investigation files about Qi Yao's assault a few days earlier.

Zhao Xiaoyang frowned after reading the files and said, "Brother, this family dared to hurt Sister Yao; I'll kill them!"

He stood up as he spoke.

Lin Feng pressed his hand down and said calmly, "We still don't know if they did it! What if someone wants to use me as a weapon?"

Nowadays many know that crossing Lin Feng ends badly.

This deterrence saves Lin Feng a lot of trouble.

But it's certain that there are always some who think they're supremely clever and try to exploit him.

Zhao Xiaoyang sat down and scratched his head.

Lin Feng said calmly, "Go invite that family from the documents over, be polite."

"Got it, brother!"

Zhao Xiaoyang replied with a sentence.

Then he raised his hand and waved, "Brothers, we have business to attend to."

Liu Erwa was more eager than anyone, sprang up in a flash.

Too bad it wasn't on a big truck, otherwise the momentum would have been greater.

Leading a group of subordinates out the door, Zhao Xiaoyang picked up his mobile phone.

A moment later, a dozen black sedans drove over.

Lin Feng lay in the Yuan Zi, enjoying a beautiful maid's massage.

Their techniques are all professional.

Of course, it's also their line of work.

If they only splashed water and cleaned occasionally, they couldn't earn such high wages.

Given Lin Feng's current underworld status, some matters no longer require his personal presence.

As long as you act sensibly and send someone to invite, they will certainly come.

After a little more than an hour.

A white Mercedes sedan and a dozen black sedans parked outside the Yuan Zi gate.

Four people got out of the car.

The driver, a Biao Biao, a middle‑aged man and a middle‑aged woman.

Both wore expensive clothes, but a trace of fear lingered on their faces.

The middle‑aged man was named Fu Gui, the woman named Wang Le.

"Mr. Fu, Ms. Wang, please!"

Zhao Xiaoyang raised his hand and made a welcoming gesture.

"Very well!"

Fu Gui nodded.

The couple bowed slightly and approached Lin Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Fu Gui sneered as he greeted Lin Feng.

Wang Le giggled.

Their smiles looked uglier than crying.

"Please, both of you, have a seat!"

Lin Feng said calmly.

After speaking, he lifted his hand.

The maid massaging his shoulders immediately left.

Fu Gui and Wang Le sat down very cautiously.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I know about your daughter Fu Ying; losing an only daughter like this must be heartbreaking, right?"

The couple was stunned, then bowed their heads slightly.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from Wang Le's eyes.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Your sorrow and anger are understandable. But you can't take it out on others!"

"Qi Yao is my girlfriend; what were you shouting at her back then?"

"Bang~"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Fu Gui slapped himself hard.

Then he said, "Mr. Lin, we are at fault! I apologize; my mouth can't hold back the wind, and I often offend many people."

After speaking, he slapped himself another time.

It was a real slap; both cheeks turned red.

Wang Le hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, had we known Miss Qi was your girlfriend, we wouldn't have had the nerve even tenfold!"

"We only said harsh words, never did anything to hurt Miss Qi."

"We swear to heaven, if it really were us, we wouldn't die a good death."

These past few days, it's not only Lin Feng who has approached them.

Detachment Captain Liu has also sought them several times, investigating the matter of Qi Yao being doused with sulfuric acid.

Lin Feng sized up the two of them, nodded, and said, "I now believe it wasn't you who did it, but think carefully—if the two of you were finished, who would benefit?"

Fu Gui's eyes widened in an instant.

He suddenly realized that someone wanted to use Lin Feng's hand to deal with them.
