"Forget it, forget it. I'll wait until I regain my ability to move before I say anything." Lin Mei suppressed her urge to lash out and told herself in her heart.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, who was carrying Lin Mei out the door, was completely unaware that he had already caught her attention, even though he had just saved her.
After carrying Lin Mei to the entrance, the bodyguards finally reacted. Looking at their expressions, Lin Mei felt a chill in her heart. If it weren't for Lin Feng going inside, she believed that even if Black Tiger had done something to her inside, they wouldn't have noticed.
Upon reflection, Lin Mei felt that Lin Feng wasn't so unbearable after all, even though his words were indeed a bit harsh.
Regardless of everything, Lin Mei believed that bringing Lin Feng into the Golden Dragon Group was a wise choice. It had nothing to do with her impression of him; rather, it was because Lin Feng was useful to the Golden Dragon Group.
Having managed the entire Golden Dragon Group alone for many years, Lin Mei knew that when evaluating a person, the main consideration should be whether they could provide some benefit to you, rather than prioritizing personal impressions or feelings. After all, as someone in a position of power, she needed to consider issues from a broader perspective rather than from personal emotional angles.
So at this moment, Lin Mei felt that Lin Feng wasn't entirely useless. He had saved her at a critical moment; no one could claim he was without merit.
However, Lin Feng was unaware that being held by him for so long would change Lin Mei's impression of him in various ways. He only noticed that after he had made a few remarks about Lin Mei, she didn't react much. Finding it uninteresting, he quietly placed her in the back seat of the car. As for everything inside, other bodyguards would handle it. If they couldn't manage even this, Lin Feng felt certain that Lin Mei would not hesitate to dismiss them.
"Why did you put me back here? I want to sit in the front passenger seat," Lin Mei complained to Lin Feng.
"Come on... don't be so picky, Miss Lin. Don't forget that I'm your savior now. We'll be home soon; then you can move around freely and get a good night's sleep on your big bed," Lin Feng replied, not willing to comply with Lin Mei's request. What kind of issue was this? Why be so particular? This was definitely not a good habit; he wouldn't indulge her in this behavior.
Although he was a bodyguard, Lin Feng showed no awareness of his role.
"I want to sit in the front," Lin Mei insisted.
"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you now, Miss Lin," Lin Feng said upon seeing her stubbornness.
With that, he bent down and continued to lift Lin Mei into the front passenger seat. He knew that she was currently poisoned and decided to let her have her way for now. After all, as long as he got her back to the Lin family safely, it would be fine. Of course, he also understood that after this incident, the family's attitude toward him should improve significantly.
Perhaps it would greatly assist him in completing the task He Ting had entrusted to him.
After securing Miss Lin in her seat, Lin Feng drove away. The bodyguards watching him leave wore expressions of envy and jealousy as they saw him go. They all knew they had failed in their duties while Lin Feng had succeeded; one had failed while the other had achieved merit. They were well aware of the consequences. In any case, from now on, Lin Feng would no longer live like a novice within the Golden Dragon Group.
Lin Feng was completely unaware of the envy and jealousy from the bodyguards behind him. He calmly drove in the direction of his memories.
As a bodyguard for the Lin family, Lin Feng naturally needed to know the location of the Lin family, so at this moment, he didn't need Lin Mei to give directions.
"By the way, Lin Feng, how come you weren't poisoned?" Lin Mei glanced out the window, feeling a sense of rebirth after a disaster, and asked Lin Feng.
"Hehe... maybe it's because I have antibodies," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Be honest." Lin Mei was not someone to be easily fooled. Hearing Lin Feng's evasive answer, she couldn't help but scold him. She knew that evasion meant hiding the truth, and in this environment, she was particularly sensitive to such things.
"Alright, I was forced to take medicinal baths by an old man in our village since I was young. At first, I thought it was useless and cursed him a lot, but later I realized my body was much better than others. I healed quickly from injuries. Eventually, I even found out that I wasn't afraid of poison. Once I was bitten by a snake, and my wound swelled up but healed quickly. So I felt that I shouldn't be afraid of poison—at least not as much as before. That's why when I sensed something was wrong inside, I rushed in." Lin Feng had already prepared this explanation for Lin Mei's question.
Of course, having learned from past experiences, Lin Feng wouldn't tell Lin Mei that he could hear the conversations inside; otherwise, she would definitely ask how his hearing was so good. Staying low-key was the way to go; Lin Feng always believed in this principle.
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder." After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Lin Mei found it somewhat strange but chose to believe him. After all, even her close subordinates Zhang San and Li Si had fallen into Black Tiger's hands. The fact that Lin Feng could continue living safely in front of her indeed required such an explanation.
Of course, there was another possible explanation: that Lin Feng had taken an antidote beforehand, just like Black Tiger did. However, this thought only flashed through Lin Mei's mind before she dismissed it. If Lin Feng were truly colluding with Black Tiger, she would be in great danger now. But looking at Lin Feng's current demeanor and recalling her own helpless situation, she knew she could only trust him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even have the strength to jump out of the car, let alone escape.
Moreover, she understood that Lin Feng knew this too. Therefore, judging by his current behavior, he should not be Black Tiger's so-called accomplice.
Besides, if Lin Feng really had ulterior motives, what could she do? Resist to the death? Lin Mei shook her head; clearly, such thoughts were unrealistic. Earlier she could still hope for help from the bodyguards outside, but now it was just her and Lin Feng in the car. She couldn't move at all; thus she felt that at this moment she didn't even have the right to resist—how could one talk about "resisting to the death" when unable to move?
Lin Feng was not a naive student entering society for the first time. Although he hadn't graduated from college yet, his past experiences made him quite adept at understanding others' thoughts. He glanced at Lin Mei's strikingly beautiful face and immediately understood what this well-bred Miss Lin was worried about. It made sense; they hadn't known each other for long, so it was normal for her to have such concerns about him.
With this in mind, although Lin Feng understood her worries, he suddenly felt a playful urge to tease her.
"Miss Lin Mei, are you worried that I might join forces with Black Tiger to kidnap you? After all, if I weren't colluding with him and if Black Tiger's hall had such good soundproofing, how would I know you had an accident inside? If I weren't in cahoots with Black Tiger, how could I remain alert throughout instead of being affected by some 'Divine Three-Step Fall' drug?" Since he wanted to tease Lin Mei, Lin Feng naturally began his playful questioning.
"Lin Feng, you can't really be..." The thoughts in her mind were pierced by Lin Feng's words. For a moment, Lin Mei genuinely began to suspect him. After all, there is a saying: guilty conscience makes one nervous. If Lin Feng had no ulterior motives, how could he guess that she was doubting him at this moment?
Yes! At this moment, Lin Mei finally managed to keep her composure; she could be sure that Lin Feng had figured it out.
However, at this moment, Lin Mei truly felt trapped in a dead end, as if she were lost in her own confusion. In reality, anyone with a slightly agile mind could have guessed Lin Mei's current state of mind by putting themselves in her shoes.
But since she was indeed confused, how could she possibly come to her senses so easily?
"Heh heh, to be honest, I can't find a reason for myself that isn't true. Your attitude towards me is so terrible, isn't it?" Lin Feng saw that Lin Mei was genuinely panicking and felt quite pleased in his heart, continuing to tease her.
"Lin Feng, let me tell you, if you have any ulterior motives towards me, I think you know the wrath of the Lin family." At this moment, Lin Mei truly believed that Lin Feng had ill intentions towards her. At the very least, she thought that even if he wasn't colluding with Black Tiger, he still had some wicked thoughts. Otherwise, why didn't he give her the antidote just now?
The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Lin Mei couldn't help but lament how unlucky she was; having escaped from the wolf's den, how did she end up in the tiger's lair?
And just at that unfortunate moment, Lin Feng threw out another line: "Miss Lin, since I dare to do this, do you really think I would be afraid of your Lin family? To put it bluntly, if anything happens, it would be because of you first. I could just run away." With a playful spirit, Lin Feng continued to ramble on happily.
"Lin Feng, boo..." Seeing Lin Feng getting carried away with his words made Lin Mei turn around and start crying.
Uh-oh. Lin Feng truly hadn't expected that he would go too far and make Miss Lin cry. He could fear anything but women crying; especially since Miss Lin was so stunningly beautiful. As soon as she cried, Lin Feng suddenly felt overwhelmed with guilt.
"Alright, no more jokes. I'm your bodyguard; how could I possibly harm you?" At this moment, Lin Feng panicked and forgot all about teasing Lin Mei, hurriedly trying to explain himself.
But once Lin Mei started crying, it seemed like there was no end to it. Even after Lin Feng said that, she continued to cry as if her tears were free-flowing.
