Chapter 57: In This World, No One But Her Can Touch Lin Feng!

Cao Siyuan was taken aback. "What?"

He stared at Lin Feng in disbelief. "You want to work in the factory?"

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. He remembered that Cao Siyuan's factory was on the outskirts of Haishi, which was perfect for him to hide away. Even if Chu Lingshuang tried to chase after him, it would take her a while to get there.

Unless she took a helicopter.

But Lin Feng doubted Chu Lingshuang would be so ostentatious. After all, at the convenience store, she was worried about being recognized.

Cao Siyuan looked Lin Feng up and down, unable to help himself from saying, "The factory is nothing like running your own business. With your skills, you could easily make a comeback. You wouldn't believe it, just last month at the executive networking event, everyone was asking about you!"

He couldn't understand it. Someone as talented and insightful as Lin Feng should be a hot commodity anywhere.

Take himself, for example—he had been searching for Lin Feng for days, hoping to hire him, and yet Lin Feng just wanted to work in the factory?

"No, no." Lin Feng waved his hand and smiled. "I've decided not to be involved in the business world anymore; that circle is exhausting with all the scheming and intrigue."

He spoke the truth—it had been his intention from the beginning.

Now, however, there was an added obstacle.

Chu Lingshuang!

If she found out he was starting a new enterprise, who knew what bizarre ideas she might use to torment him? The Chu family's power was overwhelming; with a wave of her hand, she could ruin him.

The money he had now was hard-earned over the past period. If he lost it, what would he do?

He wouldn't even be able to afford food and lodging...

Cao Siyuan looked deeply at Lin Feng, understanding, and nodded. "You're right. It's exhausting. All this socializing is wearing me out..."

He glanced at Lin Feng and took out his phone. "Alright, brother. If you want to work at my factory, I'll arrange a manager position for you. The work is easy. When you want to start your own business again, we can talk."

"No need." Lin Feng hurriedly waved his hand. "Just put me on the production line. I have some savings and don’t plan to stay long."

Cao Siyuan paused. Of course, someone like Lin Feng wouldn’t stay in a factory forever...

He nodded. "Alright, just tell me when, and I'll let the factory manager know."

"Good." Lin Feng nodded and raised his phone. "When I'm done here, I'll message you."

"Alright!"

Cao Siyuan nodded, waved, and said, "I'll head back then. See you soon, brother!"

"See you soon!"

Lin Feng nodded, watching as Cao Siyuan's car drove into the residential compound. Only then did he leave.

He hailed a cab at the gate and returned to his rented apartment. The intense activity from earlier left him exhausted; he barely lay down before drifting into a deep, muddled sleep.

...

"Miss, he's fine, walked out safe and sound, but Zhang Peng said he got a cut on his face..."

In the study at Lakeview Manor, Yu Xueyan reported to Chu Lingshuang via video call.

When she heard the first half, Chu Lingshuang's lips curled upward, but as soon as she heard the rest, her eyes turned cold and stormy!

"His face is ruined?"

She asked in a harsh voice.

Yu Xueyan's heart trembled, and she hurriedly replied, "No, not that. Zhang Peng said it’s just a regular wound. If he applies medicine properly, there shouldn’t be a scar."

"That’s not good enough!" Chu Lingshuang’s piercing voice erupted, sounding as if she were furious and for the first time issued a command: "Go over there now and treat him. If there’s even the slightest scar, I’ll hold you accountable!"

Yu Xueyan froze. Wait—Miss, it’s the middle of the night!

She was being ordered to go to a man's home in the middle of the night to treat his wound?

And it was a shabby rented apartment in an old neighborhood!

She bit back her protest, her expression frozen in shock.

Seeing Yu Xueyan dazed on the video, Chu Lingshuang’s anger flared. She barked, "Why are you standing there? Go!"

"Yes, yes!" Yu Xueyan nodded frantically and quickly cut off the video call.

Even through the internet, she could feel her lady’s fury...

She shivered instinctively, threw on a random jacket, grabbed the medical kit, and rushed out!

Glancing at the disconnected monitor, Chu Lingshuang’s eyes were deadly cold.

Anyone who dared to harm someone she cared about was courting death!

No one in this world but herself could touch Lin Feng!

Her gaze fierce, she gripped her phone and sent a message to Liu Tianhan.

"Starting tomorrow, I don’t want to hear anything about the Zhao family in Jing City!"

A moment later, Liu Tianhan replied, "Understood!"

Chu Lingshuang narrowed her eyes, her thumb rubbing the phone screen. Next, she needed to think about how to deal with Fang Ziyue, who had insulted her!

...

"Good heavens, people actually live here?!"

Yu Xueyan had just stepped out of the car, mouth twisted as she stared at the pitch-black stairwell, her hand trembling as she held the medical kit.

Just then, her exclamation triggered the dim motion-activated light in the stairwell!

Yu Xueyan blinked in surprise, startled.

She couldn’t understand why this man wouldn’t just stay in a nice villa as Miss told him—why live in such a dump? Her heels didn’t even have a proper place to tread!

But orders were orders. Yu Xueyan tried to steady herself, took a deep breath, but the dust in the stairwell made her cough sharply.

"Cough, cough, cough!!!"

On the second, third, and fourth floors, the motion lights snapped on.

Yu Xueyan: "..."

If not for Miss’s command, she would never set foot in such a dilapidated place in her life...

She covered her mouth and nose, glanced disdainfully at the pile of electric scooters in the hall, and clacked her heels up the stairs.

She was already annoyed, and seeing Lin Feng’s door was just a wooden one, she didn’t hold back—she kicked it, her heel striking the door.

With a bang, the mortise lock popped open!

She glanced at the room’s layout, her disgust nearly overflowing.

But thinking of her lady’s terrifying gaze, she resigned herself and walked inside.

Lin Feng was sleeping soundly.

After the fierce fight earlier, he had used up all his strength.

Yu Xueyan gritted her teeth and marched forward, scanning the room—there wasn’t even a clean spot to put her precious medical kit!

She shut her eyes, took a deep breath, and slapped Lin Feng’s back with her empty hand!

"Hey! Stop sleeping! Get up for your medicine!"

Her fierce shout roused Lin Feng.

He groggily turned his head and saw Yu Xueyan in a white jacket standing by his bed!

Lin Feng was instantly awake!

"Ow!" He instinctively sat up straight, staring at Yu Xueyan. "Wait, why are you here?"

Yu Xueyan’s pretty face was angry. "Miss sent me to treat your wound!"

As she spoke, she placed her medical kit on the only clean blanket in Lin Feng’s room and barked, "Hurry up—bring your face over here!"
