Chapter 82: Chapter 79: This Special Agent Is Not That Cool

"Xiao Yu, it’s the weekend, and Uncle’s company is having a team building event at Xijing Bay today. I heard there’s a huge sea of flowers there! Would you like to join me?"

Meng Lang smiled sweetly at Xiao Yu.

Ten years to grow trees, a hundred to cultivate people, the "Xiao Yu Plan" had officially begun.

"Really? But... is it appropriate for me to go?"

Although hesitant, Meng Lang clearly saw a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Of course, it’s appropriate. Many colleagues are bringing their kids. Mixing work and leisure helps in learning, I’ll just talk to your sister, no worries,"

"Then... then I’ll go pack some stuff!" Xiao Yu ran back to her room, somewhat excited.

Meng Lang shook his head with a smile, still a child no matter how mature she seems.

However, taking Xiao Yu away without a word isn’t respectful to her legal guardian.

He picked up his cellphone, thought for a moment, and sent a message in the "Xiao Yu’s Guard Team" group.

Meng wrote: [Taking Xiao Yu to the company’s team building event at Xijing Bay, will return in the afternoon.]

A moment later, "Ding!" A message came in the group.

Haitang: [This... won’t it trouble you?]

Meng wrote: [Not at all troublesome, the more the merrier.]

Haitang: [Alright then, be careful out there.]

Meng wrote: [Got it, don’t worry.]

One Pear Blossom: [Hehe! So harmonious, should I... leave the group? (╰_╯)]

Haitang: [...]

Meng wrote: [...]

"Ding!" Meng Lang received another message, but this one was sent to him privately.

One Pear Blossom: [Meng, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, just you wait! (╬￣皿￣)]

Meng Lang’s face went blank.

This guy still hasn’t calmed down from last night?

My hidden agendas?

What hidden agendas could I have, nurturing her for the rise of human civilization, how could that be wrong?

Before I even discuss my thoughts, isn’t your agenda already as clear as day?

He looked at Yan Weiwei’s avatar...

I hadn’t noticed before, but you changed your nickname again!

So, you’re worried I wouldn’t understand, thus you went from hinting to being outright obvious?

I, a Chinese Literature major, feel offended!

...

Lin Haitang sighed in resignation and put down her phone as Gao Yuan came over and placed a cup of black tea in front of her.

"Thank you, Miss Gao. You specially called me over today, is there something about the case you need to consult?"

Lin Haitang looked at Gao Yuan, noticing that she seemed to have had a bad night.

Her eyes were somewhat swollen and her face was pale, giving her a listless appearance.

"Honestly, I sought out Lawyer Lin today because I wanted to learn more about Mr. Meng, the ’Special Intelligence Advisor’ from last time."

"You mean Meng Lang?" Lin Haitang was taken aback.

You called me on a big weekend just to learn about Meng Lang?

Lin Haitang’s expression instantly turned odd.

This guy... can he make women think of him nonstop just by meeting them once?

Yan Weiwei too, and now Gao Yuan...

This guy must be toxic!

"Are Lawyer Lin and Mr. Meng close?" Gao Yuan stared at Lin Haitang, probing.

"Well..."

How to answer this question?

To say we are close, we actually only met recently, but to say we aren’t close, however, would underestimate the deep bond we share...

"Why does Miss Gao want to inquire about Meng Lang? After all, you’ve only met once," Lin Haitang ventured.

Gao Yuan, seeing Lin Haitang’s oblivious expression, realized that Meng Lang hadn’t shared last night’s incident with her.

Looks like... she isn’t one of those organization people?

Initially, I was skeptical since Lin Haitang introduced Meng Lang. Perhaps Lin Haitang also had connections with that mysterious force.

"It’s nothing, just a bit curious to know what kind of person Mr. Meng is."

The desire to know what kind of person Meng Lang is?

Lin Haitang’s expression grew even stranger.

Although Meng Lang once said he didn’t want to rely on a wealthy woman, what if opportunity really knocked? Would he unwillingly say no but his body say yes?

So, should I speak well of him, or not?

I feel like this could affect Meng Lang’s entire life...

After thinking it over, she decided to be truthful, "Actually, I don’t know him that well either, we’ve only known each other for just over a week.

But one thing’s for sure... he is a good person, upright and trustworthy!

Speaking of which, my meeting him actually does involve Miss Gao a bit."

"It involves me?" Gao Yuan was taken aback.

Lin Haitang pondered for a moment and felt it was necessary to let her know what sort of person Xu Jingsong was, to make her more cautious.

Just in case Meng Lang’s paranoia unfortunately proves right once again...

Thus, she recounted the recent "Yuan Li incident."

"What?" Gao Yuan was shocked.

Xu Jingsong had actually sent someone to harm Lin Haitang, and it almost endangered her sister?

She stood up guiltily, bowing deeply to Lin Haitang.

"Lawyer Lin, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect that my involvement almost dragged you and your sister into trouble."

Lin Haitang shook her head, "It’s not your fault."

"But ultimately, it all started because of me," Gao Yuan sighed.

Beyond the guilt she felt for the Lin sisters, what remained was a sincere gratitude towards Meng Lang.

So he had done so much in her case...

Yet he had said nothing about it last night.

If it hadn’t been for him, she would surely have been unwittingly trapped by Xu Jingsong’s schemes by now, likely in a dire and unrecoverable situation...

But why would he go out of his way to help her, someone he barely knew?
