In desperation, Lin Feng reluctantly took out an antidote he had obtained from Black Tiger and handed it to Lin Mei, saying, "This is the antidote. Take it; I won't harm you. You have to trust me."
However, what Lin Feng did not expect was that Lin Mei refused to take the antidote he offered and continued to cry as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Miss Lin, I've done this much for you. What more do you want?" Lin Feng was truly at a loss. He had gone to such lengths, yet she still kept crying.
Lin Mei did not respond to Lin Feng but turned away and continued to sob.
Is she addicted to crying now? Lin Feng could only forcefully put the antidote into Lin Mei's mouth. Then, using his Internal Energy, Lin Mei directly swallowed the pill.
"Uh..." As the pill was forced down her throat by Lin Feng, Lin Mei's cries abruptly stopped, and she looked at him in surprise, as if he had just done something incredibly shocking.
In fact, what Lin Feng did today was indeed surprising for Lin Mei. After all, although she was adopted by the Lin family, she was the only third-generation member they had raised. Being obedient and understanding, the family had always doted on her. Aside from a few principled matters, they generally fulfilled her every request. Moreover, throughout her life, no one had ever forcibly fed her anything.
Today, however, Lin Feng had stuffed several pills into her mouth while she was crying incessantly, so it was no wonder that she felt astonished.
Seeing that Lin Mei had stopped crying, Lin Feng felt relieved and focused on driving. He wasn't in the mood to play any games with her; after all, having witnessed her previous tears, he really didn't want to endure another heart-wrenching episode of crying from her—simply put, he couldn't afford to provoke her.
Lin Feng's sole focus now was to get Lin Mei home. As for what would happen afterward, he thought it best to wait until she calmed down.
"Screech..." Since Lin Feng was driving calmly, it wasn't long before they arrived at the Lin family residence.
After getting out of the car and walking around to the front, Lin Feng opened the door for Lin Mei, fulfilling his duty as a bodyguard without uttering a word.
Seeing his demeanor, Lin Mei understood his intentions and got out of the car without any hesitation before walking away.
However, just as Lin Feng sighed in relief and opened the car door, Lin Mei turned back and warned him, "Don't let me hear about everything that happened today from someone else. You understand."
After saying that, Miss Lin directly entered the Lin Family Manor.
Watching Lin Mei leave, Lin Feng smiled wryly and then got into the car, heading to the company.
He still needed to return this car to the company and then drive his own car home.
As for everything else, Lin Feng wouldn't care and didn't want to. There were several reasons for saving Lin Mei: first, he couldn't bear to see such a charming girl like her in trouble; second, he needed to get closer to Lin Mei, and this was undoubtedly a good opportunity; third, he hadn't figured that one out yet.
After driving the car back to the company, Lin Feng left without anyone's approval and clocked out in his own vehicle.
Lin Feng had worked hard to save Lin Mei. Although there should have been a confidentiality agreement regarding the incident, confidentiality is relative. For instance, those who accompanied him on the mission yesterday would likely know about it. Therefore, no one had any objections to Lin Feng leaving at that moment; after all, who would dare offend him when he had single-handedly rescued Miss Lin?
Lin Feng understood everyone's thoughts to some extent. It was precisely because of this understanding that he felt justified in enjoying the privilege of leaving work early.
He knew that in the following days, the Lin family would conduct a thorough analysis of the Black Tiger incident. Although it appeared to be a simple unexpected attack on the surface, in a big family, even the simplest matters could turn into significant issues. So, Lin Feng simply chose not to inquire or concern himself with it; after all, he had no involvement in it—he had merely done a good deed.
Sure enough, when Lin Feng leisurely rested at home for an evening and arrived at the company the next day, he heard several versions of legends about what happened. Of course, everyone unanimously acknowledged that it was Lin Feng's intelligence and bravery that identified and resolved the issue yesterday. As a result, everyone expressed their utmost respect for this fresh newcomer at the company.
Their salaries depended on Lin Mei's well-being. If there was anyone in the world who least wanted harm to come to her—aside from those who genuinely cared about her safety—it would probably be them. After all, her safety directly affected whether their wallets would be filled.
Throughout his time at work, Lin Feng remained quite low-key. He only offered smiles at appropriate moments before heading straight to his workstation—the place where a bodyguard was supposed to be.
If Lin Feng acted high-profile now, he would surely attract criticism from others. Not everyone would be happy for someone who achieved success alone.
This is an unchanging truth throughout history. Isn't it?
However, just after arriving on the first basement level, Lin Feng received an appointment: he was appointed as the Minister of the Security Department.
Well, Lin Feng knew that this so-called Minister of the Security Department was probably just the head of these security personnel, but how could he suddenly become the Minister when he had only arrived here as a fresh newcomer yesterday? It wasn't that Lin Feng felt unqualified; rather, he wondered if Lin Mei's appointment would be accepted by those people.
Indeed, Lin Feng had protected Lin Mei yesterday and achieved great merit. He had thought that Lin Mei would reward him in some way, but he never expected this kind of reward. After all, Lin Feng assumed that Lin Mei would assign him to her side for personal protection.
It wasn't that Lin Feng particularly wanted to stay close to Lin Mei; it was because he knew his purpose for coming here was to get closer to her and investigate everything about the Golden Dragon Group and the Lin family. However, this plan was disrupted by Lin Mei's appointment, and once again, Lin Feng found himself in the spotlight.
Even though Lin Feng didn't want to be in the spotlight.
Well, despite feeling helpless, Lin Feng couldn't show it on his face. Instead, he pushed those thoughts aside and accepted the appointment letter.
What reassured Lin Feng was that this appointment letter was personally written by Lin Mei. Her elegant handwriting made him feel her cultural depth.
What amused Lin Feng the most was that at the end of the appointment letter, Lin Mei wrote a line:
"If you can tame this group of people and improve their security capabilities, I will help you keep yesterday's incident a secret."
After reading this line, Lin Feng could only shake his head and smile wryly. It seemed that Lin Mei had already thought everything through for him.
"Well, does anyone have any thoughts?" After signing the document and handing it back to the clerk who delivered it, Lin Feng turned around and asked the bodyguards in front of him.
Since he was already here and since Lin Mei's document had been issued, if Lin Feng refused to accept it, wouldn't that imply he lacked courage?
Therefore, what Lin Feng needed to do now was to tame this group of bodyguards. Only by taming them could they listen to him, and he could also develop some training plans for them.
"I have no thoughts." Lu Zhong, originally the Captain, now that Lin Feng had been appointed as Minister of the Security Department, it was clear that he would be under Lin Feng from now on. Lu Zhong had worked diligently for over ten years to reach his current position; naturally, he wouldn't easily accept Lin Feng as his superior. So at this moment, he lazily replied to Lin Feng.
This was his way of expressing helplessness. After all, even if he wanted to oppose it, he couldn't do so directly; that was a direct order from President Lin Mei.
"Hmph, Lu Zhong, come up here." Seeing Lu Zhong's reaction, Lin Feng wasn't foolish and naturally understood his meaning. At this moment, anything he said would be meaningless. Lin Feng believed in the principle of doing things discreetly, but that didn't mean he was a pushover who could be easily manipulated. Since he had to accept Lin Mei's appointment, he needed to assert himself.
Wasn't it just about taming a few bodyguards? He could handle the Wolf Gang members who risked their lives every day; how could a few old-timers intimidate him?
Although Lu Zhong was reluctant, seeing Lin Feng leap onto the fighting stage made him understand Lin Feng's intentions. They were all bodyguards, not relying on diplomas to get by. Lu Zhong didn't believe he couldn't defeat Lin Feng.
In his view, Lin Feng had merely been lucky to save Lin Mei. If it came down to combat experience, he felt that Lin Feng was still too inexperienced.
With that in mind, he didn't mind stepping onto the fighting stage to see who was better. He didn't believe that if he won, Lin Feng would still have any face left to continue being the Security Department Minister.
As Lu Zhong stepped onto the fighting stage, someone in the crowd shouted first, and then everyone else joined in cheering. After all, Lu Zhong was their old Captain and had significant authority.
Everyone's intentions were clear, so Lin Feng didn't plan to say anything else. Instead, he directly revealed his stance and said, "I won't waste words; let's settle this with our skills."
Seeing Lin Feng's assertiveness, Lu Zhong showed an approving look and cupped his fist towards him, saying, "If you can win against me with even one move or two, I will naturally submit."
After saying that, Lu Zhong also assumed a fighting stance.
Seeing Lu Zhong like this, Lin Feng felt a sense of appreciation for him. In Lin Feng's eyes, it was understandable for Lu Zhong to have emotions about him suddenly becoming the leader of the security team. However, Lu Zhong expressed his feelings in an upright manner; this undoubtedly showed him to be a man of integrity. To be fair, this made Lin Feng regard him more favorably.
