Chapter 228: Chapter 228: As Long as She Needs

Lin Zhi had arranged to meet Ji Liancheng and the others for lunch at twelve noon, and she had arranged to meet Jian Shengli and his group at eleven o’clock.

She planned to deal with them first, then have lunch afterward.

Only Ji Feifan knew of Lin Zhi’s plan.

The next day, as it was nearing eleven o’clock, Ji Feifan personally drove to pick her up. He did it himself because he was concerned about her safety.

"Thank you," Lin Zhi said to him gratefully.

Ji Feifan laughed it off as if it was nothing, "What’s there to thank me for? They are all small matters, and to me, it’s just a simple effort."

"As long as it’s not too much trouble for you, you are the only friend I can ask for help," Lin Zhi still felt very grateful.

She had too few friends, and the only person who might help her turned out to be Ji Feifan.

Ah, thinking about it, she felt quite like a failure at making friends, since she was somewhat incompetent herself.

If she had been more capable, she would not need to trouble others.

Ji Feifan glanced at her, really wanting to say that there was more than just him who could help her. Didn’t she know how many people she had helped?

If she needed it, many people would be willing to help her. Unfortunately, she was too modest and didn’t think others owed her any favors.

"I’m honored you would ask me for help," Ji Feifan suddenly said with a smile.

Lin Zhi was puzzled for a moment. Why be honored?

Ji Feifan did not explain, and she did not ask. They quickly arrived at the hotel, and at this time, no one else had come.

Lin Zhi had arranged to meet Jian Shengli and his group in a separate private room. She didn’t want to be seen by others, nor did she want to cause trouble for everyone else.

She just wanted to handle things before going to another private room to entertain other friends.

"You should step aside for a bit, I’ll take care of this myself," Lin Zhi said to Ji Feifan.

This was her plan. When she was alone, she expected Jian Shengli and his group would act without restraint, which would allow her to gather evidence more effectively.

Asking Ji Feifan for help was mainly to ensure her personal safety. Of course, if necessary, he could intervene and help her completely deal with the trouble.

"Can you really handle it on your own?" Ji Feifan asked worriedly, "I should stay, just in case they try to harm you."

"I won’t be in trouble, I’m sure of it," Lin Zhi said confidently.

After all, she did have some self-defense capabilities. If they really dared to lay a finger on her, she wouldn’t be courteous.

Seeing her determination and confidence, Ji Feifan reluctantly agreed to withdraw but stayed alert to the situation in the private room at all times.

No sooner had Ji Feifan left than four casually dressed, fierce-looking men walked in. The leader was a bald man with a thick gold necklace. Despite his smile, his eyes carried a chilling murderous intent.

As soon as they entered, they automatically closed the door behind them.

The bald man glanced at Lin Zhi and sneered, "Search her carefully, don’t let someone steal my watch!"

"Yes!" The three men with him didn’t hesitate to snatch the bag from Lin Zhi’s hand. Lin Zhi frowned but did nothing.

They rummaged through her bag and found nothing; after searching the private room thoroughly, they still found nothing.

"Brother, we found nothing," one of the underlings reported. Actually, they were looking for a recording device or a camera; the watch was just a pretext.

Jian Shengli had been burned once and sent people who were much more cautious this time.

The bald man sat down across from Lin Zhi but in the seat next to her. He was neither too close nor too far, a position that could exert a great deal of pressure on someone.

He stared at Lin Zhi like a gang boss on TV, exuding an air of arrogance and banditry from head to toe.
