Chapter 782

It's almost New Year, what are you messing about!

Do you know what "a new official's three fires upon taking office" means?

That's how menopausal old women are.

If you want to start a fire, don't burn us!

I used to think Captain Bai was a demon, but this woman is outright a lunatic!

……

The Heavy Hammer Squad members, bearing over a hundred kilograms of load, conducted cross-country training while whispering.

Not far away, a middle-aged woman in uniform was holding a telescope and watching the Heavy Hammer Squad members.

She was Feng Xuelan, a woman of mysterious origin.

At least to Bai Ying, Feng Xuelan was very mysterious.

Of course, because Bai Ying's rank was still insufficient to know who Feng Xuelan was.

But no matter who she was, she represented a faction within the court.

One cannot say they are bad people; they simply hold different opinions.

From Lin Feng's standpoint, anyone opposing his development and seeking to restrict him is an enemy, at least not a friend.

And in the eyes of some above, if Lin Feng continued to develop without restriction, he would be a time bomb.

The key is that no one knows when this bomb will detonate.

Lin Feng's existence, at least up to now, has not only not harmed Guo Jia's interests but has actually rendered great merit.

But he is uncontrollable!

People are not weapons; they all have their own thoughts and desires, and are fickle creatures.

When Liu Bang was a ruffian, did he know he would one day become emperor?

When Zhu Yuanzhang held a broken bowl begging, did he imagine he would found the Ming dynasty?

Therefore, Lin Feng must be restricted!

This is necessary.

Thus, some people stepped forward.

This time is a kind of probe; we'll see how Lin Feng reacts.

"Removing Captain Bai from his post will provoke Lin Feng; such a signal is too obvious."

A female assistant behind Feng Xuelan said lightly.

Feng Xuelan lowered the telescope, the corner of her mouth lifting, and said, "Do you know what these guys are saying?"

The assistant didn't answer; Feng Xuelan laughed and said, "They're calling me a lunatic, saying I'm an old woman—hmph!"

Feng Xuelan is also an Enhancer, and an extremely intelligent woman.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stepped forward now as the vanguard probing Lin Feng.

Before her Enhancement, she already understood the languages of over a dozen countries and could read lips.

Even without hearing the Heavy Hammer Squad members' voices, she knew what they were saying.

After another few minutes of silence, Feng Xuelan answered the female assistant: "He won't get angry, or perhaps he'll even scorn my appearance."

If he really got angry, his mind would be too narrow, making it impossible for him to possess everything he has now.

Since he now possesses all this, he must be a truly remarkable person."

The female assistant said: "We've learned that Lin Feng's actions are somewhat ruthless; those who oppose him usually don't live long."

His methods are too harsh; I'm afraid he…

"Afraid he'll just kill me, right?"

Feng Xuelan laughed and said.

"Yes!" the female assistant replied.

Feng Xuelan said: "I really hope it's like that; then, with my life, I could exchange for the upper echelon's attention—it would be totally worth it."

With his strength, he is still not enough to oppose the entire Guo Jia."

"What if we drive him away?"

The female assistant again said.

Feng Xuelan shook her head and said: "No, that wouldn't be in his interest. Anyway, we'll see later! When the time is right, I'll personally appear to meet him… no, I think meeting him right away would be best—you make the arrangements."

Feng Xuelan left.

Then the Heavy Hammer Squad members received orders: today's training time is doubled.

Then, vacation time is halved.

With the order, a chorus of wails rose from the Heavy Hammer Squad's encampment.

This newly arrived old woman is really fucking… whatever.

……

"Killing her outright is impossible; Dad made a note on this!"

Lin Shiyi glanced at someone looking ready to fight to the death, then shook his head and said.

Lin Feng's annotation above says: no killing.

He also circled it.

Lin Chang'e frowned and said: "If it were up to me, I'd go over and wipe them all out—then the world would be peaceful!"

"Count me in!"

Lin Donghu raised his hand.

Lin Baobao shook her head and said: "You guys, stop making a fuss; just listen to what Lin Shiyi says!"

Lin Shiyi scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "This is an adult's game; we kids want to join, but our wisdom is still lacking!"

Lin Chang'e, you can see the document in dad's hand—haven't you ever wondered whether dad let us see it so that we could see it?

Lin Chang'e replied, "I slipped into the Shufang while dad wasn't looking and saw it."

"Forget it!"

Lin Shiyi thought to himself.

Anyway, the more we explain to Lin Chang'e and the others, the more questions they have.

"As for Feng Xuelan, we only have some textual description and her photos. That's just the surface; to solve our family's big trouble, we need to understand her better."

The Art of War says, "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in peril!" First, we must learn about her!

"I'll go!"

Lin Chang'e said, "I'll grab her, hang her up, beat her, and she'll spill everything. As long as we don't kill her, that's fine, right?"

As Lin Chang'e spoke, she scanned everyone, hoping the suggestion would gain their support.

As a result, everyone except Lin Donghu wore a hesitant expression.

Finally, her gaze hardened.

Lin Baobao raised his hand second, followed by Lin Qingxia.

Lin Shiyi frowned and said, "Lin Chang'e, if you really do that, you'll ruin dad's big plan. Then Aunt Wu certainly won't hang you up to beat you."

Lin Chang'e replied smugly, "That's because I scored another merit."

Lin Shiyi shook his head and said, "We won't beat you; we'll lock you in a little dark room for three months, and dad won't plead for you."

Lin Chang'e pouted.

Lin Baobao said, "Lin Chang'e, I think Lin Shiyi makes sense."

"Lin Shiyi, you're the smartest; make the decision! Whatever you say we'll do."

Lin Chang'e finally said helplessly.

Lin Shiyi glanced at everyone and said lightly, "Everyone has their own strengths. For gathering intel, I think Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian should take the lead!"

"Why us? We don't know anything."

Bei Shuying shook his head.

"Yeah, yeah!"

Bei Qingqian also shook his head, completely lacking confidence.

Lin Shiyi said, "Trust me, you'll definitely succeed!"

Actually, Lin Shiyi meant that by looking at the three Aunt Beis, one can tell what kind of temperament the big Aunt Bei's children have.

There were three templates before; these two aren't any better.

Such purely cute little girls will make people lower their guard.

"What should we do?"

Bei Shuying asked.

Lin Shiyi said, "When the time is right, just meet this woman. Because she also wants to learn more about dad and our Lin Family from your mouths."

"Ah! If we slip and tell her something we shouldn't, the trouble will be huge!" Bei Qingqian said.

Lin Shiyi said calmly, "It won't happen; we trust your lips are tight."

While saying that, Lin Shiyi thought to himself that the things you should know you might not, and the things you don't know, you definitely won't.

As for the Moli Hao…

After some contemplation, Lin Shiyi felt the secret could no longer be kept.

The reason is simple: since Lin Jingru's little‑day explosion was already known, they must have obtained the related intel.

What about the other secrets?

Ask these two, how much money the family has, how many companies they control, the Enhancement Agent formula… do they know?

They don't know.

"We will definitely work hard to complete the mission!"

Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian clenched their fists, saying earnestly.

Lin Shiyi suddenly felt like he was deceiving the kids…

……

Feng Xuelan's name is real, but her appearance and age are disguised.

After leaving the camp, Feng Xuelan got into a business van.

Then she began to remove her makeup.

A woman's makeup art is always so magical!

A woman in her twenties can transform into the look of a middle‑aged woman in her forties.

Likewise, a woman in her forties can become a youthful girl in her twenties.

Even the figure can be altered.

Of course, if the original figure is good, the change is much easier.

Feng Xuelan is exactly such a woman.

After removing her makeup and taking off the props used to disguise her figure, a woman in her twenties with a slim waist and long legs appeared.

This Feng Xuelan, at that moment, is completely a different person from the Feng Xuelan at the Heavy Hammer Squad camp.

In terms of looks, she's not inferior to Lin Feng's women.

Of course, she's not as perfect as Qi Yao, Yun Luan, or Han Xiang.

If we score them, Qi Yao and the others get a hundred, and Feng Xuelan can get ninety‑five points.

Lin Feng could never have guessed, Miss, that you are staying in the hotel of his house.

The female assistant, looking at the restored‑looking Feng Xuelan, said with a smile.

Feng Xuelan said lightly, "This is called darkness under the lamp!"

A spacious business vehicle stopped, and then Feng Xuelan got out and got into a black sedan.

After driving for a dozen minutes, they entered the underground parking of Qingfeng Building.

Then they took the elevator to the hotel and swiped the card to enter the room that had been booked long ago.

She sat on the sofa, and the female assistant brewed a cup of coffee.

Feng Xuelan drank the coffee while looking at a thick stack of documents.

All of them were files on the women around Lin Feng.

The topmost file was Guo Yanru, then Liang Shishi, followed by Mu Nian, Jiang Xiaofei…

The easiest to find and the most detailed files are placed at the top.

"If you want to get to know him, you have to start with the women around him."

Feng Xuelan put down the documents and said lightly.

Who to choose?

The female assistant said at this moment, "Since last year, the number of women around Lin Feng has increased very little. Otherwise, with his wealth and decent looks, the count would already be over a hundred now!"

Feng Xuelan said lightly, "He indeed looks good! That must be admitted. As for these few, there's no chance to get close to them."

Feng Xuelan set aside the files on Guo Yanru, Liang Shishi and the others.

Then she made a selection from the remaining files.

Finally, Feng Xuelan picked up the files on An Qi, Zuo Wei, and Zhao Yuwan.

After thinking it over, Feng Xuelan kept Zhao Yuwan.

"This little star will do."

Feng Xuelan said lightly.

"Why her?"

The female assistant asked curiously.

Feng Xuelan said with a smile, "Because she is a female star, even though she has Lin Feng's protection, people will inevitably make moves on her. If some minor trouble arises, I will step in to help her, and that friendship will be sealed.

And from a personality analysis, Zhao Yuwan is also a very straightforward person.'

"Why not Han Xiang? She's even more high‑profile!"

The female assistant said.

Feng Xuelan said, "Han Xiang, Lin Feng looks at her too strictly, and this woman's temperament is a bit cold; she's not an easy person to get along with."

Next, Feng Xuelan made some arrangements.

At the same time, Lin Chang'e let out a long sigh.

Because this 'game' is really too complicated!

Back and forth, countless details, this is more complex than a detective novel.

Only a mind like Lin Shi Yi could handle such twists.

Lin Chang'e thought of this and felt she had become a big‑headed doll.

"Second sister, does it feel troublesome?"

Seeing Lin Chang'e sigh, Lin Jingru walked over and asked.

Lin Chang'e nodded and said, "Anyway, this time we can't get involved any more; since the New Year is near, we should think about how to get more New‑Year money!"

Lin Jingru said, "If you want more New‑Year money, it depends on how generous Grandfather and Grandmother are."

"What does that mean?"

Lin Chang'e was puzzled.

Lin Jingru said, "If Grandfather and Grandmother give us 100,000 yuan of New‑Year money, can the concubines below give more? Even if they give 99,999 yuan, it still wouldn't exceed 100,000."

"Therefore, the amount Grandfather and Grandmother give us is the single‑payment ceiling; that's the rule."

Lin Chang'e's eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood, "I get it, I'll go find Grandfather and Grandmother. This time I want more New‑Year money; they didn't give us any in previous years, so this time I must make up for it!"

"That's a perfect excuse!"

Lin Jingru gave Lin Chang'e a thumbs‑up.

Sometimes Lin Chang'e isn't stupid either!

Lin Chang'e walked a few steps and stopped, frowning, "Lin Jingru, what do you think is the quickest way to deal with that woman?"

Lin Jingru said helplessly, "Unfortunately she's an ugly old lady; if she weren't so unattractive, even if she were older, I would have a way."

"Dad already has so many concubines; one more isn't much, but this…"

"I guess even if I secretly increase the dosage of the herbal medicine given to Concubine Xiao Guo a hundredfold, Dad would still be uninterested in her."

"Lin Jingru, you really know a lot!"

Lin Chang'e sighed.

Lin Jingru said shyly, "Not at all; don't talk nonsense, I'm still just a child."

Lin Chang'e said, "You still have the Recording, right? Send it to me so I can listen."

"It's gone, everything was destroyed, I swear!"

Lin Jingru quickly raised both hands and said.

Fortunately Lin Chang'e let her off in this matter and shifted her thoughts back to the New‑Year money.

……

The number of people in the Sihe Courtyard kept increasing.

It's also getting more and more lively.

January 2.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Saturday.

Just finished filming, Zhao Yuwan returned to Yanjing and went back to the room assigned to her in the Qingfeng Building.

She personally rearranged some things at home, and the doorbell rang.

When she opened the door, she saw two little girls as cute as porcelain dolls.

"Shuying, Qingqian, why are you here? Where's your mother?" Zhao Yuwan asked with a smile.

Zhao Yuwan asked with a smile.

"We came by ourselves," Bei Shuying said.

Bei Qingqian said, "The main reason is to get your autograph! Zhao the big star!"
