Chapter 711: Showdown

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

All along, Han Guo and this side have been almost isolated.

Especially Li Huiying, who still doesn't know her own identity.

If this continues, even our own people will start fighting each other.

A clear example is that after Yun Luan gained a foothold in Japan, she invested in Han Guo.

But she ended up facing resistance from Li Huiying.

Because Li Huiying has never had any good feelings toward Japan.

Last time Lin Chang'e, Bei Shuying, and Bei Qingqian threw bombs in Japan,

Li Huiying even specially opened a bottle of expensive red wine to celebrate.

Furthermore, Mu Nian's controlled Great Flag Media resisted the Han flow.

As a public figure, Li Huiying also expressed her opinion in public.

All these things are unfavorable to Lin Feng's layout.

The interests suffered some losses, the most obvious being money.

After Yun Luan's investment plan was resisted, the penalty for breach of contract,

plus the money sunk in Han Guo's stock market, exceeded one billion US dollars.

Most companies' market values don't have that much money.

By this point, it's also time to let Li Huiying know the truth.

From beginning to end, only Li Huiying has been kept in the dark.

Even Zhang Shangmei knows Lin Feng's true identity.

Just now, when they hung up the phone, Lin Feng didn't say anything, just telling Li Huiying not to worry about this matter for now,

now finish the most urgent tasks at hand, striving to become a big boss by the year after next.

After finishing the work talk, naturally they also chatted about some private matters.

The phone call lasted half an hour!

After checking his phone, Lin Feng sent a text message, saying he would go to Han Guo tonight.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

In the old manor in the northern mountainous area of Hancheng.

Moli No. 2 slowly descended.

When it was still over ten meters above the ground, the hatch at the bottom opened.

Lin Feng stepped down the retractable ladder to the ground.

Then Moli No. 2 rose into the sky and silently disappeared into Han Guo's night sky.

Lin Feng glanced around the manor.

Liu Huixi's subordinates all dutifully stayed in their assigned places.

Lin Feng sat down in the courtyard, took out his phone, and sent a text message.

About forty minutes later, a red sports car let out a buzzing sound, stopping at the gate.

The gate was open.

Zhang Shangmei, who had opened the gate and gotten out of the car, saw Lin Feng and ran over with arms wide open.

Lin Feng stood up and gave her a hug.

"Brother Shangxun, long time no see."

Zhang Shangmei refused to let Lin Feng go, looking resentful.

"Long time? We just saw each other last week," Lin Feng said helplessly.

"I wish I could be with you every day."

Saying that, she kissed him on the face.

"Where are we going?"

Zhang Shangmei released Lin Feng, her eyes widening.

Her eyes clearly showed strong anticipation.

Forty minutes earlier, she had still been watching TV dramas at home, and after receiving Lin Feng's text message, she immediately rushed over.

The reason Zhang Shangmei was happy was because Shen Youzhen wasn't here.

That meant Lin Feng was alone here.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

Zhang Shangmei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly restrained her playful, cute demeanor.

Actually, she was quite afraid of Lin Feng in her heart.

Over time, she gradually stopped being so afraid.

Now she can finally act like a lover in front of Lin Feng.

But she still can't bear to see Lin Feng frown.

Because in her mind, when Lin Feng shows that expression, it means trouble is coming.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Lin Feng said lightly.

Zhang Shangmei quickly sat down, looking solemn.

"Have you seen the recent news around here?"

Lin Feng asked.

Zhang Shangmei was startled at first, then caught on, "You're worried about this! If you keep stirring up this news, its heat will gradually fade away."

Or using another more sensational incident to divert the public's attention would also work.

"Hmm?" Lin Feng looked at Zhang Shangmei.

Zhang Shangmei smiled, "The best method is to find someone influential, like a celebrity or a big boss…"

Lin Feng nodded; Zhang Shangmei's approach is a common trick used in Han Guo.

It's the same principle as throwing a stone into water.

One stone creates a thousand ripples.

If you want the ripples from the first stone to disappear, throw an even larger one.

"That's not the result I want."

Lin Feng shook his head, rejecting Zhang Shangmei's suggestion.

"Then what should we do?"

Zhang Shangmei asked.

Lin Feng said, "I don't want to hide any longer; I want to tell Huiying about this."

I'm worried she won't be able to accept it right away.

You know besides the identity issue, I also have many close female confidants.

Zhang Shangmei thought for a moment, "Then first let her misunderstand you, and later tell her about this…"

Zhang Shangmei still used the original method.

It's just a different way of playing it.

It's like when you get home and your daughter‑in‑law says she had two unlucky incidents today.

One is that she crashed someone's tens‑million‑dollar luxury car, the other is that after she water‑washed your gaming computer, it won't power on.

So your attention would definitely be on the car crash.

That luxury car is worth tens of millions; who knows how many millions you'd have to compensate.

In the end, the daughter‑in‑law says the car crash was a lie, but the computer water‑damage is real.

Then the computer's ruin becomes easier to accept.

Li Huiying worked overtime until 9:30, and after receiving a text from Shangxun's assistant Shen Youzhen, she rushed to Zhang Jia Lao Zhai.

Because Shen Youzhen told her that Shangxun had returned home.

There was no doubt about this, since Li Huiying had asked Shen Youzhen to notify her the moment Shangxun came back.

When she arrived at Zhang Jia Lao Zhai, it was already 10:20.

After entering, Li Huiying tidied her clothing before heading toward the study where Shangxun was.

The room was lit.

But as soon as she reached the doorway, she heard a woman's laughter from inside.

Li Huiying frowned, and saw Zhang Shangxun and Zhang Shangmei telling a story in the study.

They were truly telling a story.

Zhang Shangmei covered her mouth, laughing happily.

But they sat very close, and Zhang Shangmei's gaze at Shangxun…

Li Huiying knit her brows.

Women understand women best.

Li Huiying realized that Zhang Shangmei and Shangxun's relationship was unusual.

Steadying herself, Li Huiying knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Lin Feng said lightly.

Li Huiying pushed the door open and entered the study.

At that moment Zhang Shangmei quickly stood up, taking several hurried steps back.

Li Huiying's expression unchanged, she smiled, "Little sister is also here!"

Zhang Shangmei smiled, "Hello sister‑in‑law, I happened to come back and ran into Shangxun…"

She gave an explanation.

An explanation is a cover; Li Huiying said lightly, "It's getting late, Shangmei, you should rest early!"

"Alright!"

Zhang Shangmei fled away.

Lin Feng smiled at that moment, "Huiying, you're back. I originally planned to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to come yourself."

Li Huiying raised her wrist to check the time, "It's almost eleven, Shangxun, you should rest early!"

Having said that, she turned and walked toward the exit.

She didn't want to think too much, yet couldn't control herself.

Others are fine, why is it Zhang Shangmei?

Lin Feng said calmly, "Wait a moment, sit down; I have something to tell you, it's the matter you just called about."

Zhang Shangmei's plan was to have Li Huiying encounter her and Lin Feng playing happily.

But Lin Feng refused, because it was too much.

Li Huiying sat on the sofa opposite Lin Feng, looking very formal.

Lin Feng gave Li Huiying a once‑over.

The aura emanating from this woman

It means he has a bit of a big‑shot aura.

Lin Feng didn't want to beat around the bush, so he said straight away, "Exactly! Zhang Shangxun is me, Lin Feng is also me. My identity in the Zhang Family was fake from the start…".
