Chapter 194: Chapter 194: News Headlines

"You used to be a thug?"

Jiang Linda sat in the passenger seat and, after hesitating for quite some time, finally turned to look at Li Feng and asked the question she had been holding back for a while.

"Yep."

Li Feng yep’d.

Jiang Linda blinked, clearly Li Feng’s yep didn’t satisfy her: "And now?"

Jiang Linda thought about the cargo ship Li Feng had taken her on, the armed people they encountered, and the smuggled cars she later saw on that ship; this guy might not be the small-time street thug she imagined, but more like a big shot.

Of course, this was all Jiang Linda could piece together because she was knocked unconscious by Li Feng and left on the yacht before she could see the latter half of these events.

Jiang Linda finally understood where Li Feng’s hit-first-ask-questions-later temperament came from. It wasn’t by accident that her boss Zhou Jie had suffered at his hands. If anyone had known this guy was a tramp, who would have dared to mess with him?

Li Feng suddenly turned the steering wheel and stopped at the side of the road.

Yep.

Jiang Linda, who was held back by her seatbelt, regained her composure just to see Li Feng turn and face her: "What, what are you going to do?"

Li Feng’s eyes swept over Jiang Linda’s proud torso, reaching a hand up to lift her chin: "Assistant Jiang, don’t you think you know too much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you to silence you?"

Jiang Linda gulped, suddenly aware that the person next to her was no less than a street hoodlum.

Street hoodlums are known for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, for oppressing men and dominating women, right?

Thump, thump.

Jiang Linda’s heart raced inexplicably fast as she looked at Li Feng, especially with that sinister smile of his, she actually... wanted to be kissed.

Crazy, she must be crazy.

Li Feng was unaware of Jiang Linda’s inner turmoil: "Of course, I’ve already reformed. It’s just that some things are known only to the heaven, the earth, you, and me."

"If you let the president’s daughter find out and screw up my plans, then I’m going to have to stick you with the blame."

After saying this, Li Feng let go of her chin, sat back, and started driving again.

Jiang Linda caught her breath for a while, calming her racing heart. Of course, she didn’t dare ask any more questions, afraid that she might really upset this guy and force her into a corner.

"We’re here."

"Huh?"

Jiang Linda was startled for a moment and turned to look out the window, only to discover they were outside the gate of her apartment complex: "How do you know where I live?"

"Heh, I’ve got your measurements down pat, let alone where you live."

Hearing Li Feng’s flippant response, Jiang Linda’s face flushed with a hint of red, and she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and hopped out of the car in a hurry.

Li Feng drove off, and Jiang Linda turned to watch the taillights disappear into the distance, clenching her fists.

"Damn scoundrel."

"Linda."

Jiang Linda, hearing her name, suddenly turned around: "Ah, Boss, you’re here."

Zhou Jie looked at the somewhat panicked Jiang Linda and glanced at the receding sports car: "That Li Feng didn’t do anything to you, did he? He’s just a brute, a ruffian, and you’re my person. He must have been very harsh with you."

Jiang Linda quickly composed herself.

"I can handle it."

Zhou Jie nodded: "I know that guy asked you to be his assistant, obviously with ill intentions. Be careful."

"I know."

With that, Zhou Jie changed the subject: "I’ve joined Tian Shu, taken up a director position. They’ve promised that as long as I can take down Myth Communication, I’ll be promoted to partner."

"Linda, is there anything new with Myth Communication?"

Jiang Linda thought for a moment, didn’t tell Zhou Jie about today’s incident, "He just took office and doesn’t have a clue, but he’s been giving me a hard time."

Hearing this, Zhou Jie reached out and patted Jiang Linda’s shoulder, "You’ve been wronged. Just put up with it for a while. Once we bring down Myth, my current position will be yours."

"And then we can be together."

As he spoke, Zhou Jie’s hand slid toward Jiang Linda’s slender waist. Jiang Linda twisted away, "Boss, we should keep our contact to a minimum for now. If there’s any news, I’ll find a way to inform you. I’m heading upstairs."

Zhou Jie stared after the departing Jiang Linda, slightly stunned. Was he overthinking it? Linda had been with him for two or three years, and she had always been his little admirer. He hadn’t made a move on her before, simply because he didn’t want to mix business with pleasure.

After all, mixing work with romance was a disaster waiting to happen.

Zhou Jie immediately shook his head. It was only a little over a day; how could Linda’s feelings change so quickly? It must be that bastard who’d been giving her a rough time.

"Where were you yesterday?"

"I went out looking for business. A billion in a month, I have to be Alexander. If I can’t complete it, you’ll look down on me to death."

Wang Jin’er glanced sidelong at Li Feng with a raised eyebrow.

"You took Jiang Linda with you to look for business?"

"Why, are you jealous?" Li Feng smiled slyly at Wang Jin’er, "Rest assured, she’s neither as pretty as you, nor does she have your figure, and she certainly doesn’t have the aura of a CEO like you..."

Wang Jin’er’s face remained cold as she glared fiercely at Li Feng.

"Zhou Jie has joined TianShu. That company operates in the same field as us, and the two companies have been in a hostile state because of past leadership issues."

"Why Zhou Jie did this, you should be well aware. Jiang Linda has been Zhou Jie’s assistant for nearly three years. Zhou Jie left, and she stayed. You know she’s an inside mole, and yet you keep her as an assistant and take her out to look for business. Are you deliberately trying to let the other side know everything you do?"

Li Feng looked at Wang Jin’er’s scowling face, let out a faint smile, "Although Jiang Linda is a mole, her business capability is still high. You know I’m half-competent. Without someone familiar, how can I do business?"

"I’ll find a way to win her over for our use. As for that Zhou Jie, he’s just a jumping clown."

Wang Jin’er chuckled dismissively.

"That sounds too easy."

"The bet is for a month, what’s the rush? If I can’t do it, I’ll let you deal with me as you please."

"Linda, look at the news today."

"What’s wrong?"

"Hua Yun Group is in trouble."

Jiang Linda uttered an "Oh," took out her phone, and directly clicked on the top headline news, then saw several sensational headlines.

Billionaire tycoon arrested for smuggling.

A massive haul of luxury cars was seized, worth at least fifty billion.

Ruthless forces fall out over spoils, Hua Yun’s boss murdered.

The series of news directly dominated today’s headlines. Jiang Linda suddenly thought of yesterday, and she was shocked, a chill running down her spine.

She pressed into one of the news broadcasts and read it quickly.

A few minutes later, Jiang Linda had looked through seven or eight hot headlines, but after reading them, her face turned strange.

Because the event didn’t happen like this at all. She was an eyewitness. Could it be that Yuan Hua actually boarded that cargo ship and died?

Killed in a shootout over a split in spoils?

Could Li Feng have done this? He knocked her out and left her on the yacht, probably because he didn’t want her to see him kill anyone.

Jiang Linda thought of many things in an instant. Hua Yun Group was finished, over three hundred sports cars, that’s fifty billion worth of pricy cars, this case was big enough to make it to high places.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Jiang Linda startled back to reality and saw Li Feng sitting on her office desk, smiling slyly at her.

"Did you do this? Aren’t you afraid the police will come for you?"
