The Secret Meeting

"Good morning, Ye Feng~"

Early in the morning, Ye Feng saw Xie Yuyan sitting on the couch in her pajamas, playing with her phone. It seemed like she was watching a video on the screen.

"Morning. What are you watching so intently?"

"Hehe," Xie Yuyan flipped her phone around to show Ye Feng the screen.

When Ye Feng leaned in for a closer look, he realized she was watching a step-by-step tutorial on making some kind of gourmet dish.

"A cooking tutorial? I didn’t expect you to be into this kind of thing."

"What’s with that surprised look?"

Xie Yuyan immediately pouted, clearly not pleased with Ye Feng’s comment.

"I’ve been around electronics before, you know. Maybe there are some high-tech gadgets even you haven’t seen."

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing."

"Hmph, then as punishment, you’re making breakfast today. I’m going to relax~"

"No problem. You take it easy today."

"Hehe~"

......

Soon after, the two finished breakfast together. Just then, Ye Feng’s phone rang.

"Hold on, I need to take this call."

Ye Feng stood up, took out his phone, and walked out to the balcony. Xie Yuyan’s good mood instantly vanished, and she muttered under her breath, "Seriously, can’t they leave him alone even on his day off? They treat him like their personal servant."

"Hello? Who’s—"

Before Ye Feng could finish, Li Jing’s voice came through the phone.

"Hey, kid. Good morning."

"President Li? What’s the matter so early in the morning?"

"Indeed. I’d like you to come to my company today. There are some things I’d like to discuss with you. I’ve already sent a car to your apartment. We’ll talk more when you get here."

"Wait—"

Li Jing seemed determined to get Ye Feng to come, leaving him no room to refuse. He’d even arranged for a car to be waiting downstairs, cutting off any chance of escape.

These high-ranking people and their power games—so ruthless. How could anyone outmaneuver them?

"Sigh."

Ye Feng let out a helpless sigh. He’d thought he could relax at home today, but it seemed like he was destined for a life of constant busyness.

Just as Ye Feng turned to leave, he was startled by Xie Yuyan, who had been hiding behind him. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he might have accidentally kissed her.

"Xie Yuyan, you scared me! How do you walk so quietly?"

Xie Yuyan didn’t answer. Instead, she looked at Ye Feng’s phone with a displeased expression. "Who was that on the phone?"

"The president of Li Corporation. He wants me to come over to discuss something urgent. Probably an update on the surveillance situation."

As he spoke, Ye Feng grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair and put it on.

"I have to go. If we can eliminate the threat now, we won’t have to worry about any complications later."

After a moment of thought, Xie Yuyan nodded. She didn’t care much about Li Mucheng’s fate, but the potential danger from that mercenary group was significant. If they could be taken out early, it would be a good thing for her too. She could already sense that Ye Feng’s resistance toward her was gradually fading. It wouldn’t be long before she could win him over completely.

"Alright... but Ye Feng, you have to promise me that no matter what, you’ll prioritize your own safety, okay? I... I’m really worried about you."

"Don’t worry. I value my life more than anyone else."

Ye Feng smiled and patted Xie Yuyan’s shoulder. As he headed for the door, he reminded her again not to go out.

"I know, I know. You don’t have to repeat it so many times. Be careful on the road."

"Got it."

As the sound of the door closing echoed, Xie Yuyan quickly locked it. She listened to Ye Feng’s footsteps until she heard the elevator doors close. Then, her expression turned dreamy as she slowly unbuttoned her pajama top and walked toward Ye Feng’s room.

"Now that breakfast is done, it’s time for dessert~"

......

As soon as Ye Feng stepped out of the apartment, he spotted a man in a suit and white gloves standing by a car. The man approached him respectfully and said, "Mr. Ye Feng, I presume? The president has requested your presence. Please, this way."

Well, they’ve really cornered me this time. If I refuse, this guy’s probably going to stand here all day.

"Let’s go."

Without saying much, Ye Feng opened the car door and got in. Right now, all he wanted was to get this troublesome business over with so he could move on to the next system task. Being stuck in this limbo wasn’t helping anyone.

As time passed, the car eventually pulled into the parking lot of Li Corporation Tower. Just when Ye Feng thought the driver would take him to Li Jing’s office via the elevator, the man surprised him by saying, "Mr. Ye, please follow me. The meeting is in a more discreet location."

"Alright."

Ye Feng didn’t question it. Instead, he felt that the situation might be even more serious than he’d thought. If Li Jing was meeting him in a more secure location, things must be critical.

The driver led Ye Feng to an unremarkable storage room. There, he pulled out a blue card from his collar and swiped it on the door handle. With a click, a hidden electronic door opened, revealing two armed guards standing beside a security checkpoint.

It seemed this was Li Jing’s secret safe room, designed to avoid danger. The level of security here was clearly several notches higher than usual.

"Mr. Ye, I’ll leave you here. Someone else will guide you the rest of the way."

As the driver finished speaking, the hidden door slowly closed. After a series of thorough security checks, Ye Feng finally entered a secure room.

"Click."

As the door opened, Ye Feng saw Li Jing sitting on a couch reading a newspaper, while Su Wanli stood nearby with his arms crossed, eyes closed in deep concentration.

"Mr. Su? I didn’t expect you to be here too..."

At the sound of Ye Feng’s voice, Su Wanli slowly opened his eyes. His gaze toward Ye Feng was slightly hostile, though it was understandable. After all, Su Wanli’s beloved daughter had fallen for Ye Feng at first sight, and the fact that he was sitting here calmly was already a testament to his restraint.
