The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 167 - 167 167 Ice Cave Ward

167: Chapter 167: Ice Cave Ward 167: Chapter 167: Ice Cave Ward “President Mu, I absolutely cannot condone Vice Minister Lin’s behavior of skipping work without cause!” In the president’s office on the twenty-sixth floor of the Moongaze Building, where Mu Group was located, Ling Weiwei, her pretty face cold with suppressed rage, accused Lin Fei of playing truant to Mu Shanshan.

“He’s skipped work without reason not just once or twice, so why is it that this time it has upset you?” As she picked up her coffee and took a delicate sip, displaying her elegant and aloof demeanor, President Mu measured Ling Weiwei’s reaction without leaving a trace.

“I—anyway, I just can’t stand his attitude, treating his job so irresponsibly,” Ling Weiwei reasoned after a brief pause, concocting such a lofty excuse for herself.

However, it was clear that the fleeting look of panic in her eyes didn’t escape the sharp observation of Mu Shanshan, who had been watching the changes in her facial expressions closely.

“As for Lin Fei, I have my own judgment.

What I want to ask is, Minister Ling, do you know that Lin Fei is already married?” Mu Shanshan’s tone suddenly turned icy as she said the last sentence.

President Mu was inherently cold-natured, and such a deliberate emphasis made the temperature in the president’s office seem to drop several degrees.

Mu Shanshan’s notable shift in tone was something Ling Weiwei could not fail to feel, and with her own intelligence, she definitely detected the implications in Mu Shanshan’s words.

“I know—”

“Good to know!

If there’s nothing else, Minister Ling, you may return to your work.

I trust that you are clear on what you should and should not do,” Mu Shanshan said, setting down her coffee cup and giving Ling Weiwei, whose pretty face had turned pale, a dismissal.

Ling Weiwei left with her face deathly white and her eyes fixed, clearly shaken by Mu Shanshan’s words.

“That bastard—”

After Ling Weiwei departed, the already frosty beauty of Mu Shanshan turned even colder in an instant, cold as ancient permafrost.

If Lin Fei were standing in front of Mu Shanshan at that moment, she would certainly not spare him a few of those Ice Sealing Eyes.

In her own territory, another woman was leading away her husband, and the one coming to her with complaints was her most trusted and relied upon female subordinate.

If this had happened when Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei had just gotten married, she would not have been so furiously angry, and there wouldn’t have been any jealousy.

Though Mu Shanshan was not far from a blank slate in matters of the heart, she was still a woman.

Women’s emotions tend to be more refined and sensitive.

How could she not see the hidden affection Ling Weiwei had for Lin Fei?

Mu Shanshan really couldn’t comprehend how her husband, with his lazy and shameless demeanor, had managed to attract Ling Weiwei’s secret admiration.

But, obviously, that didn’t prevent Mu Shanshan, as the wife of Lin Fei, from feeling discontent.

On the surface, Mu Shanshan’s recent words appeared to be a superior cautioning her subordinate against committing certain moral and principled wrongs.

In reality, it was a wife warning the other woman not to meddle in her marriage!

However, clearly, Ling Weiwei, who was unaware of the marital relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei, had not picked up on the hidden message in Mu Shanshan’s words.

…

In the West Suburb of Zhonghai city, the base of the Thorny Rose, Rose Manor.

After many days, Lin Fei returned here, accompanied by the two sisters Moli.

“Mr.

Lin, please follow us, the Chairman has probably been waiting for a long time,” said Moli’s two sisters, who were unaware that Lin Fei had already sneaked into Rose Manor more than once, even causing a stir that almost led to Xue Mei’s downfall.

As soon as Lin Fei got out of the car, they wanted to take him to see Xue Mei.

“Let her wait, you girls take me to see if that old guy is dead yet,” Lin Fei said, although he was quite eager to find Xue Mei and enjoy some tender moments first.

However, Lin Fei did spare a thought for Elder Wei, whom he had fought before and even inadvertently made dance a striptease for him to Xue Mei’s advantage.

While they did not understand why their Chairman had strictly ordered them to be respectful towards Lin Fei, it was clear that Moli’s sisters couldn’t tolerate Lin Fei referring to Elder Wei, whom they saw as a pillar of strength, as “that old guy.” “Mr.

Lin!

Please show some respect.

Elder Wei is our—”

Slap!

Slap!

Moli’s sisters intended to admonish Lin Fei to respect Elder Wei, but Lin Fei clearly wasn’t prepared to listen to their prattle.

Regrettably, they were treated the same way Lin Fei treated Ling Weiwei when he left the Mu Group.

With their derrières under attack, Moli’s sisters’ pretty faces flushed with a mix of embarrassment and indignation as they exclaimed, “Mr.

Lin, you—”

“Cut the crap and lead the way.

Dare to prattle any more, and believe me, I’ll make you both take a bath too?!” Lin Fei, who was concerned about Elder Wei, was obviously not in the mood for further useless talk with Moli’s sisters and started making threats.

Considering that their own Chairman had been ordered by Lin Fei to take a bath and had agreed to it, if Lin Fei also decided in a fit of anger that they too should take a bath, they would most likely be unable to escape Lin Fei’s grasp.

With this thought in mind, Moli’s sisters swallowed their embarrassment and, despite their reddening cheeks, led the way for Lin Fei, saying, “This way, please, Mr.

Lin.”

…

In the medical villa of Rose Manor led by Moli’s sisters, Lin Fei traveled downstairs, passing through hidden doors, and after more than ten minutes, they finally entered Elder Wei’s Ice Cave Ward.

Yes, an actual ice cave!

The ward, roughly four meters wide and eight meters long, was entirely constructed from enormous ice blocks that emitted bursts of cold air!

In the center of the Ice Cave Ward lay Elder Wei on the hospital bed, his body pierced with various instruments and IV tubes.

Unlike the Moli sisters, who were wrapped in thick down jackets, Lin Fei was still in his typical casual attire.

Ignoring the sisters’ puzzled looks, he walked with ease towards Elder Wei who lay on the bed, as if he didn’t feel the chill of the Ice Cave Ward at all.

Indeed, the temperature inside the Ice Cave Ward was extremely low, certainly below minus twenty degrees Celsius.

However, for Lin Fei, who had once spent months outdoors in a thin layer of clothing, this level of cold was nothing to worry about.

What truly caused Lin Fei to frown was the state of Elder Wei on the bed.

Elder Wei was hooked up to all sorts of equipment, and Lin Fei couldn’t immediately determine the extent of the internal injuries.

But the left arm twisted into a harsh shape and the right foot missing nearly half of its sole were clear reminders to Lin Fei of Elder Wei’s condition.

Elder Wei, sinking into a comatose state, was clinging to half a life.

At this moment, Elder Wei was in a situation where he could pass away at any moment.

If an ordinary person suffered such severe injuries, they’d likely be long gone.

Even with some internal strength training that Elder Wei possessed, he couldn’t last many days.

In short, Elder Wei’s injuries were far more severe than Lin Fei had anticipated.
