Seeing that the other party was unreservedly willing to destroy the drawing, Lin Mei felt quite helpless. Initially, she had hoped to use it as a threat, waiting for Lin Feng to have an opportunity to intervene. If that happened, perhaps she could save the drawing, as it contained her grandmother's hopes for health.
Thus, Lin Mei still refused to let the drawing be destroyed.
However, now Lin Mei realized that if she continued to hold onto that attitude, the drawing would likely end up in the hands of the other party.
Lin Mei was not a foolish woman; she could vaguely sense that the other party was likely from the Xu Family, who had come to snatch it after failing to secure it at the auction. She understood clearly that if the Xu Family members really got their hands on this drawing, it would be better to destroy it instead.
So, seeing the situation unfold, Lin Mei took action and destroyed the drawing.
Of course, merely tearing it was not enough. Lin Mei quickly tore it several more times and then tossed the pieces into a nearby ditch.
This way, even if they picked up all the fragments, they would not gain anything.
This was a classic case of harming others without benefiting oneself—a major taboo in business—but Lin Mei truly had no other choice this time; this was the only way to minimize her losses.
At this moment, seeing that Lin Mei had indeed destroyed the drawing, Lin Feng initially felt a pang of regret. However, he quickly remembered something: he had seen that drawing before.
Since his rebirth, Lin Feng had developed an exceptional memory. Even though it was just a complex map, he believed that as long as he had seen it once, he could remember it completely.
Understanding this, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. He knew that even though Lin Mei had destroyed the drawing, he could redraw it from memory.
While thinking this through, he swiftly dealt with a few opponents and quickly returned toward Lin Mei and the others.
At this moment, those people saw that the drawing was destroyed and began to withdraw slowly. They knew their mission for today was complete; although they hadn't managed to seize the drawing, they also hadn't left it for the Lin family. While not perfect, they had accomplished their task.
Seeing them leave, Lin Mei helplessly set down the tube in her hand. She knew that her hard-won Millennium Ginseng drawing from today's auction was now lost.
Remembering that Grandma still needed the Ginseng, Lin Mei, although aware that the enemy had retreated, couldn't feel happy at all.
At this moment, Old Lin quietly walked over to Lin Mei's side, patted her shoulder, and said, "Let's go. Today, we can still consider it a harvest."
After saying that, Old Lin walked ahead.
Although Old Lin spoke to Lin Mei in a relatively calm tone, Lin Feng could tell from his stride that Old Lin was genuinely angry this time.
"Come on, I'm still waiting for your family's payment," Lin Feng said somewhat carelessly as he approached Lin Mei.
Hearing this, Lin Mei shot Lin Feng a glare. If Lin Feng had helped their family a lot today, she would have been tempted to give him a good beating.
Who told Lin Feng to say such annoying things right now?
Lin Feng wasn't really trying to be annoying; he knew that staying here wouldn't solve anything. He wanted to tell Lin Mei that even if the drawing was ruined, it could be restored. But thinking about it, he decided against it. Looking at Lin Mei's current state, if he rashly said something like that, she might think he was trying to mess with her.
After speaking, Lin Feng didn't linger any longer and took a few steps forward to start the car.
Although after tonight, his status in the eyes of the Lin family had risen significantly, and as long as he wanted to, he could quit being a bodyguard.
However, Lin Feng wasn't someone who would easily show off. Besides, right now, Old Lin and Lin Mei were probably not in a good mood; it was better to consider their feelings.
As Lin Feng started the engine, the understated yet elegant Audi carried him and the other two away from there.
On the way back, Lin Mei received a call from Lin Xing, who said he had completed Old Lin's task and was on his way over.
"No need. We're already on our way back," Lin Mei said into the phone after seeing Grandpa's expression. She knew there was no need for Lin Xing to rush over.
Since that was the case, Lin Xing waited at the Lin Family Manor for Old Lin and the others to arrive. As a soldier, since Old Lin had given an order regarding this matter, he had to treat it as an order to fulfill. And since it was an order, he naturally had to report back in person.
After the phone call ended, the three people in the car fell silent. Lin Feng felt there was no need for conversation at this moment. Comforting? One was the head of the Lin family, and the other was the company president; Lin Feng did not think he could bear such a reality.
Throughout the journey, Lin Feng kept the car remarkably steady. Before long, they arrived at the front gate of Lin Family Manor, where Old Lin and Lin Mei got out of the car together.
Although he was acting as the driver, Lin Feng still did not have the habit of opening doors for others. Of course, Old Lin and the others probably did not notice this detail.
"Lin Feng, come inside with me. Thank you for today," Old Lin said. Although he wasn't in a particularly good mood, he was still grateful to Lin Feng. As for losing the Ginseng Map, Old Lin did not blame him at all; after all, they were well-prepared and all experts, so Lin Feng had done his best.
Of course, this was because he did not know that Lin Feng had actually held back. If he had known, Liu Lao would likely have had a different attitude.
"Okay," Lin Feng replied as he handed the keys to another bodyguard.
Given Lin Feng's current role as a personal bodyguard, he really didn't need to handle parking duties anymore.
Seeing that Lin Feng agreed, Old Lin walked ahead into his study.
At the entrance of the study, Lin Xing was already sitting there waiting.
"Is everything in place?" Old Lin paused when he saw Lin Xing and asked.
"Yes, the mission has been completed," Lin Xing replied.
"Good. Go get the Ginseng and bring it to my study," Old Lin said, feeling somewhat relieved that the Millennium Ginseng had safely arrived home.
"Understood." Lin Xing nodded and turned to retrieve the Millennium Ginseng.
Soon after, Old Lin, Lin Mei, and Lin Feng also entered the study.
"Mei'er, prepare some tea," Old Lin instructed as soon as they stepped into the study.
Clearly, Old Lin was treating Lin Feng as an esteemed guest now.
"Mm, Grandpa." Lin Mei naturally understood what Grandpa meant, nodded, and then went to brew tea.
"Go ahead, Little Lin." Old Lin sat down first and pointed to the chair across from him, smiling as he spoke to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't hesitate and sat down directly.
"Hehe, thank you so much today, Little Lin." Seeing Lin Feng's composed demeanor, Old Lin's eyes flashed with appreciation as he spoke.
"This is what I should do, but it's quite regrettable about what happened later," Lin Feng nodded and said.
Mentioning the events that followed, Old Lin sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Alas, there's nothing we can do; I don't blame you."
Although Old Lin said he didn't blame Lin Feng, it was clear to Lin Feng that there was deep regret in Old Lin's eyes.
"Hehe... If you're talking about that Ginseng Map, it might be different from what I mentioned," Lin Feng noticed the look of disappointment on Old Lin's face and realized it was because he hadn't obtained the Ginseng Map. After thinking for a moment, he said.
"Oh? Why is that?" Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Old Lin clearly sensed there was more to what Lin Feng was saying and asked.
"Hehe... Old Lin, although the drawing was destroyed, can't we just draw another one?" Understanding Old Lin's feelings at that moment, Lin Feng decided not to keep him in suspense any longer.
"Alas, although we all glanced at that drawing earlier, it was just a fleeting look. Even if we've seen it, we can't recreate it," Old Lin understood what Lin Feng meant—he was suggesting they might be able to draw the map from memory. While it would be great if they could do so, the drawing was quite complex. Moreover, who could actually recreate such a drawing?
"Whether or not we can draw it depends on whether you can prepare some paper for me, doesn't it?" With that, Lin Feng smiled confidently and continued speaking.
Meanwhile, as Lin Mei brought over the brewed tea, she looked at Lin Feng in disbelief upon hearing his words. She forgot to place the tea on the table and stood there holding it dazedly.
"Hehe... Miss, could you please bring me some paper and a pen?" Seeing this reaction from her was understandable; she didn't believe him. He took the tea from her hands and confidently continued speaking to her.
Seeing this, Lin Mei felt a hint of anticipation in her heart. Without hesitation, she turned around to fetch some paper and a pen.
Old Lin also looked at Lin Feng with an expression of expectation, naturally hoping that Lin Feng could truly draw that picture.
However, was it really that easy to draw? Old Lin had to admit that although he had witnessed Lin Feng's impressive skills tonight, he did not believe that Lin Feng could surprise him every time.
Regardless of how Old Lin and Lin Mei viewed it, Lin Feng took the paper and pen and began to draw.
With his photographic memory, Lin Feng was simply reproducing the image from his mind. It wasn't difficult.
But no matter how challenging it was, it wouldn't take too long, especially with Lin Mei assisting him throughout the process.
Although Lin Mei had never seen the original picture, it was enough for her to hand Lin Feng any drawing tools he needed.
Eventually, even Old Lin stood behind Lin Feng, carefully examining the drawing as he recalled the original image he had seen.
As Lin Feng continued to draw, Old Lin's memories were increasingly triggered by the artwork, leading him to become more and more astonished.
