Chapter 341 Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven

Knock knock knock!

"Come in!"

Secretary Li pushed open the office door of General Manager Qin Fen. "President Qin, this is Vice President Fang's resignation letter."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Qin Fen suddenly looked up, took the envelope, "Why?"

"I don't know either. The receptionist gave this to me when I came to work this morning, so I brought it to you."

Qin Fen was very puzzled. Fang Yan was doing a good job, especially with this project. He was very satisfied and was about to praise
him when Fang Yan handed over his resignation.

Qin Fen opened the envelope and read it.

In fact, Fang Yan did this entirely because of Meng Jingyun. In his opinion, offending Meng Jingyun
meant there was no point in continuing to work at this company. Even if he didn't leave, Meng Jingyun would kick him out. Rather than being
kicked out by others, it was better to resign himself and be more carefree.

Actually, he didn't need to do this at all. Meng Jingyun wouldn't be so petty as to hold a grudge against him over such things.
Besides, these were just personal grudges about pursuing women, and mutual slander was inevitable. If he were to take revenge for this
, he wouldn't be Meng Jingyun. He

also wouldn't be able to lead the Tianlang Gang or accomplish anything significant. A leader must have a magnanimous heart;
if one cannot tolerate anything, one will never achieve anything.

Fang Yan's actions were pragmatic, but in Meng Jingyun's eyes, it was a form of escapism.

After reading the resignation letter, Qin Fen was still confused. He found Fang Yan's phone number and called, but the number had been canceled.
"Okay, I understand."

"What about the vice president position?"

"Tell the HR department to handle it!"

"Okay!"

The secretary left the office. Originally, Qin Fen had another important task entrusted to him by Meng Jingyun for Fang Yan to handle,
but now that Fang Yan was gone, he had to find someone else.

"Stepmother!"

"Mr. Qin, is something the matter?"

Although Anna had already divorced Qin Xingyuan, Qin Fen still couldn't help but call her that every time he saw her; it was just a habit
.

"Hehe, do you know Liu Yifei?"

"Liu Yifei! I don't know, who is she?"

"I don't know her."

"Is there a problem?"

"Oh, no, nothing, it's like this, a club has been built in Tianfu Community, and
it will be under our company's name from now on. You need to arrange some manpower to set up a
finance ."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"I'm telling you now."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Okay!"

He hung up. Then Qin Fen dialed the internal phone of He Hui's office. "Manager He, come to my
office ."

"Oh!

" Click! He Hui hung up the phone, puzzled.

The general manager suddenly wanted to see him. Why was that? No matter what, he would find out when he got there. The news of Fang Yan's resignation
had spread like wildfire in the company. In He Hui's opinion, this was definitely Meng Jingyun's doing.

Now that Fang Yan was gone, it was his turn. He Hui had already made preparations.

But to his surprise, Qin Fen not only didn't make things difficult for him, but also
greatly praised his efforts in organizing the banquet, and explicitly stated that the acting manager would be promoted to the official manager position immediately
, and his salary would also be increased.

He Hui was completely bewildered, not understanding the situation at all. Only later did he realize that Qin Fen had
asked him to do something.

From today onwards, the Guifei Women's Fitness Club is officially open to the public. The club has wooden
floors , multiple indoor gyms, and various fitness equipment.

Residents of the community are free to come and exercise, and there will be dedicated fitness instructors to guide them in proper
fitness knowledge. However, these facilities still need to be implemented.

He Hui spent the morning showing Liu Yifei around the entire fitness club and giving her a presentation. He Hui was
now in high spirits; he finally understood what it meant for someone to achieve success and for their entire family to benefit.

It's true what they say, "You can't force a flower to bloom, but a willow you plant unintentionally will thrive." With Liu Yifei's connection, his position at
Yangtze secure.

"Hehe, President Liu!"

"Uncle!"

"President Liu, President Liu, President Liu, hahaha..."

Liu Yifei glared at He Hui. "

Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, hehe, but you really are President Liu now, otherwise
what would I call you, hehe!"

Liu Yifei's face was burning. All morning, He Hui had been smiling at her every time he saw her, making her incredibly embarrassed.

"Call me whatever you used to."

"Good! Xiao Fei."

He Hui gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up. "Xiao Fei! I've been in the business for so many years, I
've developed a keen eye. I can tell whether someone is rich
or But how come I'm still better than you? Hehe, tell me, did you discover this kid's
identity early on? Do you have any secrets? Tell me quickly."

"I don't have any secrets."

"Don't be like that, just tell me! I'll learn from you."

"Aren't you annoying? Can't you talk about something serious?"

"What, you're annoyed with your uncle so quickly? I've spoiled you for nothing, hehe. This kid has really hidden himself well
. That's great, that's great. Xiao Fei, I'm genuinely happy for you this time. You've found
your Mr. ."

"Hmph! I know you too well."

"Hehe, let's not talk about that. Mr. Qin asked me to come here to tell you that you are now
the general manager of this fitness club. The club is under the name of our Yangtze Real Estate Company, but reports directly to the head office leadership—
in other words, that kid's boss.

Also, the finances are shared with our company. The Ms. Zhang I brought earlier is
from our finance department. From now on, for any expenses the club incurs, you just need to submit a document and you can get the money from her.

But don't worry, this is only temporary. Once the club is fully established, it will have an independent finance system."
Hey, Ms. Zhang, if you don't like her, you can kick her back to the company anytime. Sounds great, right? That's your right!
In other words, right now the club only has you as the lone commander. "

Ah!"

"Don't 'ah,' I already said, these are all temporary."

"How can I work alone!"

"You can hire people, no one's stopping you. I've specifically inquired for you, President Qin said that only if
you have the ability to grow the club can you appropriately equip it with a company management system.
Anyway, the club is now in your hands, do whatever you want, go for it!"

"If I start from scratch by myself, won't I be exhausted?"

"What, you don't like it?"

"No, no, I like it, how could I not like it! Hehe! It's just that I'll be very busy at the beginning."

"Doesn't this further prove that the kid is training you?"

"Uncle, can you stop calling me 'kid,' Brother Meng is famous."

"Oh, oh, oh, you're not even married yet, and you're already speaking up for him! Okay, okay, Director Meng, alright!
Hehe! Here, this is the club's official seal, don't worry, your uncle will handle everything, I'll assist you from the side."

"Managing a club, I have absolutely no experience."

"Everything has a beginning, that way you'll learn more. Your uncle will teach you a trick: what you need to do now
is hire a vice president with relevant management experience. With his assistance, you can handle everything, and that'll be fine.
Also , you should hire a few cleaners here to keep things tidy."

"Xiao Fei! It really is you!"

"Sister Zhou, what are you doing here!"

"I was just wandering around and came here,"

Ninth Sister said with a smile. Using Liu Yifei to get close to Meng Jingyun was indeed a good plan. However, Ninth Sister's
every move was not easily observed by Meng Jingyun.

Zhu Shigang's heart disease was an old problem; he was sent to the hospital for treatment, prescribed some medication, and discharged.

Third Middle School, Principal's Office.

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Du Hongfen called Meng Jingyun over, personally poured him tea, and treated him like a king.
"What did I tell you this morning? What have you done? You haven't had a moment's peace and have caused such a big mess."

"Hey, hey, hey! Principal, you can't wrong me like this!"

"I'm wronging you! Teacher Zhu was so angry that she fainted and had to be sent to the hospital. You say I'm wronging you?"

"Old Pig did go to the hospital, but I didn't start this. He was the one who started the trouble. The whole class
can testify to that. And I didn't do anything to him. I just slightly retaliated against his provocation
. Who would have thought that this pig would be so easily angered? Before I could even do anything, he fainted."

"Really?"

"More real than gold. You can investigate if you don't believe me."

Meng Jingyun shrugged.

"Hmph, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."

"That's for the best!"

"You're not entirely without fault either. He's a teacher, and you're a student. How
could you be a little more accommodating? You know he has a heart condition. If he really died from anger, that would be quite a sight."

"Stop! I have no obligation to do that. Besides, I've only ever heard of teachers yielding to students, never students yielding to
teachers. When he collapsed, I was already being very kind by taking him to the infirmary immediately. You
know I've already been very
tolerant of him. If he doesn't learn his lesson and comes back to cause me trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Impolite? What do you want?"

Meng Jingyun curled her lip.

"You don't actually want to beat him up, do you? You've gone

too far!" "Beat him up? That'll be too lenient."

"Don't do anything reckless. You've already had two major demerits. If you do it again, I can't help you." "

Otherwise, if he comes looking for trouble again, am I supposed to just let it go?"

"He doesn't have the guts."

"Don't forget, he has the vice-principal backing him up."

"...How about this, if he comes looking for trouble again, just let me know, and I'll handle it."

"Okay! That's what I've been waiting for. Are you all right now?"

"Get lost!"

Meng Jingyun stood up abruptly, opened the door, and turned back with a smile: "Aunt Du, come visit me sometime."

"You're so kind!"

"Hehe, you're welcome anytime."

Chapter 342

After leaving the principal's office, the smile on Meng Jingyun's face vanished. This change was like a
mischievous, unruly teenager transforming into a tough, authoritative older brother in an instant.

His entire aura had undergone a complete transformation.

He came to school today mainly to meet Ye Feng, the lurking tiger of the Prince Gang, but it turned out he
wasn't much of a threat; he was just another rich young master.

His actions were childish. The fact that someone like him could become a tyrant in the Prince Gang shows how arrogant and domineering the Prince Gang
truly is.

"Big Brother!"

"Let's shut down the internet, there's no point in playing anymore."

"What about those two kids?"

"You said they're just kids, why should I bother with them?"

"Yes!"

Xu Ming nodded, "I'll go and take care of it right away!"

Just as Xu Ming left, Meng Jingyun called, "Xiao Fei, what's up... Oh! You're treating me to dinner?
Great! Where... Longquan Yangzhuang! Why are you being so generous today? Is this some kind of trap?"

Before Meng Jingyun could finish speaking, a basketball suddenly came hurtling towards him.
Just as it was about to hit him on the head, he reacted quickly, grabbing it with his left hand—*smack!*

Turning his head, he saw several tall, muscular young men in white winter sportswear. They didn't look like students,
but rather like muscular men from a gym.

The leader was called Yang Wei, whom Meng Jingyun recognized.

The reason they knew each other was because this guy was a friend of Wang Li, the PE teacher. They
had fought Yang Wei was Wang Li's accomplice.

"Hey kid, what are you looking at? Looking for a beating!"

Yang Wei spat on the ground.

Clearly, this was a deliberate provocation.

Meng Jingyun glanced at Wang Li, who was watching the show with his arms crossed by the side of the playground, and then at Ye Feng and Liang Shao not far away.
Long and the others.

"Hey, hey, hey! What the hell are you doing, looking around like that?
Didn't you hear me talking to you? Hurry up and get the ball for me!"

"Hahaha..."

As soon as Yang Wei finished speaking, his companions behind him laughed.

That's right, they came here on purpose to cause trouble.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Liang Shaolong and Wang Li didn't get along with Meng Jingyun, so
they were relatively close. In the morning in the classroom, Ye Feng failed to do anything to Meng Jingyun and angered Zhu Shigang to the point of fainting.

Because of this, Liang Shaolong was very unhappy. Before Ye Feng could make another move, he and Wang Li discussed it and came up with the plan
just .

Liang Shaolong knew Meng Jingyun's background in school very well. He had already received two major demerits. If he made another big mistake and
was caught red-handed, he would be kicked out of school. Of

course, Liang Shaolong couldn't have come up with this plan. It was all
the idea . Parents' hearts are always full of love and sacrifice; for her son, Chen Wenhui was willing to go all out.

Every man has some backbone, especially Meng Jingyun.

Faced with such direct provocation, regardless of whether it was a conspiracy or not, if he remained defiant, he would be unworthy of being
a man . Snowflakes drifted down from the sky; it was a beautiful

winter afternoon scene on the school grounds, the playground, the flagpole, the basketball hoops, and the students . A chorus of mocking laughter filled the playground. *Thud!* Meng Jingyun casually tossed the basketball away. The laughter abruptly ceased. *Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud thud…* Only the sound of the basketball bouncing on the ground remained. Yang Wei's lips twitched noticeably as he glared angrily at Meng Jingyun, whose hands were in his pockets. In an instant, the muscles of the group tensed, like tigers and leopards pouncing on their prey. All five were members of the city's Taekwondo Association, fourth-degree black belts. They didn't even need to throw punches; a single finger strike could shatter a thick wooden board, let alone a person. Three or five men couldn't even get close. At the beginning of the year, during the fight with Meng Jingyun, it was just Wang Li and Yang Wei, while Meng Jingyun had about ten lads on his side. With their relentless, ruthless fighting spirit, they managed to take down the two, but the ten of them didn't fare much better. But today, it was just Meng Jingyun alone, without a single helper. The other side had five men. Wang Li grinned sinisterly; he was determined to avenge his limp teeth today, not only taking down Meng Jingyun but also making him suffer greatly. Liang Shaolong was also laughing; years of pent-up frustration could finally be released today. He didn't believe Meng Jingyun would escape unscathed. "What are you watching for? Get to work! This is boring!" Ye Feng yawned. He understood the situation, but for now, he was just an observer. "What use are you? You can lose track of someone. Any news about that bitch?" "No." Feng Wuying lowered his head. "She must have found out something. Hmph, trying to hide it from me? Doesn't she know who I am? I got word that she transferred people from Fengdu today. She must be planning something. Go, bring the car over and wait for me at the gate . I'll come out after I've watched this show." "Yes!" "Oh! They're at it." Feng Wuying turned around and saw five people already walking menacingly towards Meng Jingyun. He turned back and went outside the school gate. Kids fighting, nothing to see. Yang Wei pointed, "Kid, you're asking for it!" Meng Jingyun glanced at Yang Wei's outstretched right hand. In an instant, he moved like a whirlwind. Before Yang Wei could react , Meng Jingyun quickly grabbed his fingers, twisted them upwards, and with a swift movement, pulled Yang Wei's two-hundred-pound body flying through the air. Before he even hit the ground, Meng Jingyun grabbed his short hair and delivered a flying knee strike, directly against Yang Wei's cervical spine. Snap! The 200-pound body was thrown five meters by the force, landing on the ground, convulsing, foaming at the mouth. Completely immobile. It was like a movie scene—no, even more explosive than a movie scene—it happened so fast that before Yang Wei was down, completely bewildered. Ye Feng's eyes were wide open, all traces of sleepiness gone. Of everyone present, only he had clearly seen what had happened. Meng Jingyun first grabbed Yang Wei's index finger, flicking it upwards with her other hand. A slight cracking sound echoed as the finger Meng Jingyun swiftly reached out with her right hand, clamping down on the muscles of Yang Wei's side, lifting him completely. Ye Feng was certain that Meng Jingyun's claw had penetrated deeply; otherwise, Yang Wei wouldn't have instantly lost all ability to react. The waist muscles are the center of gravity and the link between strength and power; once this area is locked down by an enemy, there is absolutely no ability to resist. Of course, Ye Feng didn't deduce this from his hearing; he didn't have that ability. He guessed it from Yang Wei's facial expression . Immediately afterward, Meng Jingyun's flying knee struck Yang Wei's cervical spine. This area is where the spine's soft spot is located, and it's also where the vagus nerve is most concentrated. Meng Jingyun's strike, if powerful enough, could be fatal; if gentle enough, it could cause a shallow to deep coma. After taking Meng Jingyun's kick, Yang Wei was completely stunned. His mind went blank, his body went limp, and he must have seen stars before his eyes. Ye Feng hadn't expected that there would be such a master in Huaiyang No. 3 Middle School—a hidden dragon among crouching tigers! The technique was incredibly skillful, swift and clean, without the slightest hesitation, reaching a level of divine mastery . He had to admit that he had misjudged again; this guy, so quick-witted, was also incredibly skilled in hand-to-hand combat . Ye Feng could see that Meng Jingyun had held back. Someone with such abilities could have killed Yang Wei with just a slightly stronger strike. School was over. The snow was heavy, and it was freezing cold; the playground was almost deserted. Wang Li stared incredulously, speechless for a long time, his mouth agape. The remaining four glanced at their companion lying in the snow, exchanged a look, gritted their teeth, and rushed forward . Whew! Unsurprisingly, although these guys were Taekwondo experts, any one of them could easily...

They opened their schools and taught students, but in front of Meng Jingyun, they were like children, utterly powerless to resist.

Meng Jingyun's attacks were ruthless; his claw-wind palm strikes, wind-blade-snow-sword techniques, punches, and elbow strikes were all deadly. Even
the thickest muscles were like clay in his hands, crumbling at the slightest impact.

A few hard-hitting collisions followed, none of them yielding.

In two seconds, four people lay on the ground, just like Yang Wei, unable to move, convulsing, foaming at the mouth. Meng Jingyun wasn't
foolish enough to kill in public, but these people had no chance of survival, for he was enraged.

Vice Principal Chen Wenhui, hiding in the shadows, ready to catch them red-handed, remained motionless, seemingly forgetting her duties.
What she was witnessing was too shocking.

It wasn't that she had forgotten, but rather that she was afraid. She dared not go out and condemn Meng Jingyun's "atrocity," let alone the cowardly , jealous Liang Shaolong. At this moment, the way he looked at Meng Jingyun was even more fearful and terrified
than when he looked at Ye Feng . Just then, three police cars drove into the school, sirens blaring, and onto the playground. The doors opened , and a team of police officers jumped out and quickly dragged the five people on the ground into the cars. Meng Jingyun was also taken away. The police cars drove off. It took a long time for everyone to react. Wang Li slunk out of the school. Ma Jie glanced at Liang Shaolong, "I...I'm going home." Liang Shaolong stood there blankly until Chen Wenhui came over and patted him, snapping him out of his daze. "Mom! This—" "Go back!" Chen Wenhui was vaguely worried; this wasn't over, and there would definitely be more trouble to come. Ye Feng smiled, shrugged, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the school gate. He secretly decided that he couldn't miss out on Meng Jingyun, this promising talent. As he walked out of the school gate, Ye Feng saw his Mercedes-Benz van parked on the roadside in the distance. Although Jiu Mei hadn't revealed any information to him, he had already planted his own people around her. Just today, when Jiu Mei suddenly transferred people from Fengdu, he immediately knew. "Longquan Sheep Village! Humph!" He was going to see what Ninth Sister was up to. Ye Feng reached out and "slid" open the car door. But at that moment, a dark gunman suddenly stuck out and pressed it against his forehead. "Don't move!" Ye Feng was shocked. But before he could react, the man swung the gun handle and "smacked" him unconscious. He was dragged into the car, the door was closed, and the van sped away, disappearing into the snowy fields and long maple forests. Chapter 343 Consequences On the highway, in a moving police car. "They came pretty fast!" Meng Jingyun glanced at Xu Ming across the street. Xu Ming was now the captain of the Fourth Battalion of the Tianlang Army, formerly Duan Fei. However, after that incident, it was Xu Ming who took over. This captaincy was personally appointed by Meng Jingyun. "As soon as I discovered what was happening inside, I called Director Shen immediately. She promptly called the patrol officers nearby to cooperate with our work, so—" "Cooperate!" Meng Jingyun laughed. "Good job, you're doing great." After Meng Jingyun's praise, Xu Ming felt a little embarrassed. "What should we do next? Brother, you're magnanimous enough , but they might not be willing to accept your kindness." Meng Jingyun nodded. "What do you think?" "In my opinion, if you don't teach these people a lesson, they won't learn their lesson. This time, we absolutely cannot let them off easily." Xu Ming said fiercely. "Fierce? How fierce?" "This—" Xu Ming glanced cautiously at Meng Jingyun. "Hehe, I'm sure you already know what to do, brother. I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, I'll do." "You kid, what are you afraid of? Just say what you think. If you're wrong, I won't blame you." "Then, then I'll say it?" Meng Jingyun nodded. "We absolutely cannot let these five and Wang Li off lightly now. These guys are no good; if they're released, they'll only cause trouble for others sooner or later." Xu Ming made a throat-slitting gesture as he said this. "As for Liang Shaolong, that kid has repeatedly opposed Big Brother . Although he's hateful, he's still a student, so—" Meng Jingyun nodded slightly, looking out the car window, "These five are hateful, but they're not the main culprits. They were harmed because of friendship. Tell the Public Security Bureau to lock them up for a while to teach them a lesson, and that's it." "Yes!" Despite the freezing winter, sweat beaded on Xu Ming's forehead. "Wang Li must die! You handle this personally." "Yes!" "Liang Shaolong!" Meng Jingyun pursed his lips, "He's definitely the mastermind behind this incident, along with his vice-principal mother." After a pause, Meng Jingyun said, "Let the Public Security Bureau handle this matter and investigate thoroughly. If it , even if he doesn't face criminal charges, we don't need to intervene anymore; the education department will handle it seriously." "Yes!" Meng Jingyun was still quite lenient towards teenagers like himself. Liang Shaolong was hateful, but his mind was still immature, and he didn't pose much of a threat to society. Therefore, Meng Jingyun was willing to give him a chance to reflect. He said that the Tianlang Gang was no ordinary gang, and under his leadership, it would never become a gang that only cared about profit and disregarded reason. But this didn't mean that Meng Jingyun could be lenient without limits. He wanted to give Liang Shaolong a warning in this incident , and also give Chen Wenhui a warning. I only hope that this incident will leave Liang Shaolong with a profound lesson, not a deep-seated hatred. "Has everything been handled over there?" Meng Jingyun turned around. "Yes, it's all taken care of. Ye Feng and his subordinate have been apprehended." "Hand them over to Xiao Nan." "Yes, sir!" The police car continued for a short distance before stopping by the roadside, still in the maple forest next to the school. Meng Jingyun got out. The van that had been closely following behind also stopped. The driver got out. Meng Jingyun got into the driver's seat. She slammed the door shut.

"You guys go back!"

After saying that, Meng Jingyun drove off. But he didn't go far before turning back. Seeing this, Xu Ming
didn't rush to get in the car.

"Big brother! Is there anything else you need?"

Meng Jingyun took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Xu Ming. "Find someone to help me ride the bicycle back from school, and
give the keys to Aunt Yang."

"Yes!"

Meng Jingyun finally left. Xu Ming and Zhao Chuan stood there, stunned. Xu Ming held the bunch of keys in his hand,
a wry smile on his face, and turned to look at Zhao Chuan. "Well, this glorious task is entrusted to you. You must complete it well,
understand ?"

"This—Captain, aren't you making things difficult for me? How am I supposed to know which bicycle Big Brother has?"

"I don't care, figure it out yourself."

After saying that, Xu Ming got into the car, and turned back to laugh. "If you don't do it well, I'll hold you responsible, you hear me?"

Zhao Chuan smiled wryly. "Big brother is really something. It's just a bicycle, why is he making such a fuss?"

Despite the nagging, the task still had to be done.

"You little brat, don't be ungrateful. All the brothers at home are scrambling to do things for their big brother, but you
finally get this chance. If you do it well, maybe your big brother will remember you. Let's go!"

With that, the police car sped away, kicking up the withered, wet leaves, leaving Zhao Chuan standing alone in the maple forest.

He turned and walked towards the school.

Putting aside Meng Jingyun's journey to Longquan Yangzhuang to meet Liu Yifei, let's talk about
what . Xu Wei and the other four were only knocked unconscious by Meng Jingyun and were not seriously injured. They
regained consciousness on the way back to the police station.

Once back at the station, during interrogation, the five immediately implicated Wang Li and Liang Shaolong. Meng Jingyun
had already made arrangements, and everything was handled according to the police station's procedures.

That evening, the police car visited No. 3 Middle School again.

Although school had already let out, this quarter was the most stressful time for students preparing for the college entrance examination, so many students
didn't need to stay at school to study hard or even live in the school dormitory.

Although few people witnessed the afternoon's events, the news had already spread like wildfire among the
teachers

and students of No. 3 Middle School. Principal Du Hongfen naturally knew about it as well. To find out the cause, she even called the police station to inquire. After all, this matter involved students of No. 3 Middle School. At that time, Du Hongfen didn't know much about the fight,
nor did she know that Meng Jingyun was involved. She only knew that a fight had occurred at the school, someone had reported it, the police had arrived, and
both parties had been arrested.

Since it wasn't a major public security case, Du Hongfen quickly learned
the cause and effect and also learned of Meng Jingyun's existence.

For the school, reputation was of course the most important thing, so Du Hongfen asked the police officer if
the matter could be handled discreetly. Especially after learning that it also involved a physical education teacher and
the son of a vice principal, she became even more concerned. Although Du Hongfen didn't like these two people either, compared to the school's reputation, that
was a minor issue.

It was best to minimize the problem and let the school handle it internally.

This was a civil case, and no serious consequences had occurred, so according to regulations
, it could be resolved through negotiation. However, if the victim did not agree to a negotiated settlement, the Public Security Bureau had to enforce the law impartially.

Therefore, the Public Security Bureau rejected Du Hongfen's suggestion.

Frankly, they didn't want to escalate the matter, as it would affect the city's appearance and waste police resources. So, they hinted to
Du Hongfen that she could contact Meng Jingyun; if he agreed, everything would be fine

. Since Meng Jingyun had already anticipated Du Hongfen's call, he had already turned off his phone.
One can imagine that Du Hongfen, in the principal's office, must have been
furious .

This Meng Jingyun was too good at causing trouble for her; in just one day, he had created two major incidents. She wished she
could strangle him to death. There was no other way. Since the Meng Jingyun route was blocked, Du Hongfen could only plead with the Public Security Bureau to consider the school's reputation and minimize public attention

during the investigation . No secrets stay hidden forever. Although the police officers were in plainclothes, the students still saw Wang Li, Liang Shaolong, and Chen Wenhui being taken into the police car. In fact, Chen Wenhui could have cleared her name if Liang Shaolong hadn't spoken, but out of a mother's instinct , she acted irrationally and stepped forward. The consequence of this was that not only was she guilty, but Liang Shaolong was also guilty—one a principal offender, the other an accomplice. While it wasn't a major incident, their reputations were completely ruined. Even if the Public Security Bureau didn't impose criminal penalties , the Education Bureau would certainly deal with it seriously. Meng Jingyun didn't intend to harm the mother and son; he simply wanted to teach them a lesson. If he were truly ruthless, he could have eliminated them, but he didn't. Chen Wenhui was locked in the interrogation room for an entire night . This was the darkest night of her life; even when her husband, Liang Qichao, died, she hadn't felt this pain. This one wrong step had reduced her carefully cultivated reputation and status to negative values. He pondered whether he was right or wrong. She looked much more haggard overnight. Early the next morning, Wang Qin, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, entered the interrogation room and brought Chen Wenhui a steaming cup of coffee. There was no deputy director of public security yet; Wang Qin was in charge of criminal investigations, so she also oversaw public security. This was one of the cases under her jurisdiction. "Principal Chen, can you tell me what you're thinking right now?" Wang Qin crossed her arms and leaned against the edge of the interrogation table, looking at Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui held the hot coffee, her head bowed. "Let me guess. You must hate that student! If it weren't for his insistence on handling this matter, you wouldn't be in this situation today, right?" Chen Wenhui didn't answer, which was an admission; indeed, she hated Meng Jingyun. "You're the principal, you understand the big picture better than I do. Let's look at this from a different angle. If your scheme succeeds this time, and that student is expelled from school, you and your son Liang Shaolong will certainly be very happy. But think about what impact this will have on your son?" Chen Wenhui had already considered this question. "I won't say anything more. You definitely understand this better than I do. You can leave now."

Hearing this, Chen Wenhui suddenly looked up, staring at Wang Qin in disbelief. "You...you're going to let me go?"

"Yes! You're free."

"Where's my son?"

"He's already waiting for you outside."

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed; she'd had enough of this dark room. "Thank you! Thank you! I'll definitely repent and
reform myself once I get out."

"You don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank someone, thank Meng Jingyun!"

"What, thank him!"

Chen Wenhui turned to look at Wang Qin, thinking she'd misheard.

"Do you know the relationship between Meng Jingyun and me?"

Chen Wenhui shook her head blankly.

Wang Qin said coldly, "He's my brother. If he hadn't begged me to let you go, given my personality,
I would never have let you leave so easily."

**

Chapter 344 Mountainside, Encountering Two Beautiful Girls** "Aunt Yang, I have an appointment tonight and will be back very late. Tell them
not to wait for me."

"What! Young Master, didn't I tell you last night that I was inviting Xiao Wei over for dinner today? Why—" Upon receiving Meng Jingyun's call, Yang Huiru was greatly disappointed. She had deliberately created an opportunity for Meng Jingyun and Fan Wei to have a good chat tonight, and to mention their special relationship. Unexpectedly, Meng Jingyun stood her up at the last minute .
How could she not be disappointed? "So, Aunt Yang, I'm sorry, I really have something very important to do later, I have to go. When Xiao Wei arrives , please treat him well and have the kitchen prepare some good food for him." "Okay!" "Good girl, baby, don't be angry, think of me." "You're so annoying!" "Hehe, then I'll hang up. We'll talk again when I get back." After hanging up, Meng Jingyun turned off his phone. Longquan Yangzhuang, or more accurately Longquan Mountain Villa, is a leisure and tourist resort perched halfway up a mountain , far from the city, very secluded, and with exceptionally fresh air. There are many such resorts in Huaiyang, popular with city dwellers. Busy office workers who can't find time to travel often come here. The prices aren't too high, and it's not far; a weekend getaway is perfect – just drive up the mountain with friends for a relaxing stroll. It's a win-win situation. Of course, another advantage is the tranquility of the mountains, perfect for clandestine activities, like having an affair away from your wife and secretary, a romantic date, or even murder. It's convenient – you can bury the body on the spot. Liu Yifei's sudden invitation to Meng Jingyun to dine halfway up the mountain is quite out of character for her. Firstly, she's not financially well-off, and secondly, there's no need to travel so far for a meal. Of course, things are unpredictable, and people change. Longquan Mountain Villa is also known as Longquan Sheep Villa, as the name suggests, because its mutton is very authentic. Especially in winter, eating mutton hot pot is incredibly satisfying. Besides the mutton, Longquan Mountain Villa also has a beautiful proprietress. Known as Little Dragon Girl, her real name is Long Sisi. She gained fame because of the villa's mutton, was featured in a food magazine, and was interviewed several times, thus earning herself a reputation. However, her beauty is not just a legend; she truly possesses striking good looks. She is elegant and charming. Therefore, many wealthy young men and business tycoons come for her. The car drove to the outskirts, saw the wilderness, turned onto a small road, and soon, a dark, towering mountain, winding like a dragon lantern , appeared before us. This winding dragon lantern was the mountain road through the greenery. Because there were lights on both sides, it looked like a road to heaven at night. The car did not slow down, rushing past the dark wilderness on both sides, the mountain wind was cold, and there were no clouds or moon in sight. The cold streetlights shone on the slippery mountain road, and the sound of cars rolling over it could be heard. "How is it? Is it fixed?" "Looks like it's no use." "Then what should we do!" Yan Chengyu lowered the hood of the car and shrugged. "Oh dear! Honestly, you insisted on coming out to admire the moon in this freezing weather. Now look what's happened, the car can't move. What are we going to do?" "It's nothing, the car's broken, so be it. We can just spend the night in the car." "You...you were planning this all along, weren't you!" "What are you talking about? As if I wanted to. What can I do if the car breaks down? I can't just say, ' Car, car, please don't break down,' can I? Even if I say that, he has to agree! Tch!" "Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I don't know what's gotten into you." "My dear lady, it's your fault, okay? If you hadn't begged me to find a way to avoid that Young Master Xue, would we be stuck here? And now you're blaming me? Humph! I don't know what you're so nervous about. I 'm a woman, not a man. What, you're afraid I'll eat you if you spend the night in the car with you?" "Alright, alright, what's the use of talking about this now? Hurry up and think of a solution." "You—you're driving me crazy, I can't help it." Seeing her sister was angry, Xu Ruyun sighed and quickly stepped forward to comfort her, nudging her with her elbow. "Hey! Hey!" "Don't touch me." "You're angry! Don't be so petty." "I'm not your punching bag, hmph!" "Hehe, what can I do? You're my best friend. What's a best friend? A best friend is someone who's happy when her friend is happy, and who stands up for her when she's sad." "Get lost!" " Get lost! This is halfway up the mountain, do you think I'm a snowball?!" * Pfft!* "You're laughing now, okay, okay, it's good that you're laughing!" Xu Ruyun grabbed Yan Chengyu's arm and said coquettishly, "Yuyu is the best!" "Don't do it again." "Deal!" "How old are you, still making pinky promises? Get off me!" Yan Chengyu turned and got into the car, and Xu Ruyun followed. She rubbed her hands together, breathing on them. "What are we going to do? Are we really going to spend the night in the car?" "What else can we do!" Yan Chengyu took a pink pillow from the trunk and hugged it to his chest. "It's still early. If we're lucky, maybe there will be another car going up the mountain." "Dream on!"

Yan Chengyu yawned.

"It's not impossible, is it?"

Xu Ruyun looked out the car window.

"I don't have much hope."

"If only I had my phone."

Xu Ruyun pouted.

"You have the nerve to say that? You can't hide from people like this! You don't have it, but I can't? Even if I did, I could just
turn it off . What's there to be afraid of with Xue Li? If it were me, I'd just kick him to death."

"Kick him to death!"

"Kick him to death!"

"Kick him to death, haha."

"Haha!"

Just then, a beam of light swept across the car window. The two women were startled, then overjoyed, *click!*
Xu Ruyun opened the car door. "I told you, my luck wouldn't be this bad, and it turned out right."

"Don't get too excited, we don't even know if he'll take us!"

"Of course! If you saw two beautiful women stuck on their backs, would you have
the heart to abandon them?"

"Yes!"

"I'm talking about a man."

"What if he's a woman?"

"That's too cruel, it's so cold, Yuyu, can you hold me... Tell me, is he a man or a woman
?"

"How should I know?"

"Guess!"

"A man, or a woman." "

...Then do you think he'll give us a ride?"

"Yes, or no!" "

I'm so conflicted, what if he sees us flagging down the car and thinks we're robbers?"

"Robbers! It's just the two of us, I'm not afraid he'll think we're robbers."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid some perverts will get out of the car."

"You, Yuyu, don't scare me, I'm easily frightened."

Although it was said casually, upon reflection, it wasn't impossible. Most people going up the mountain for leisure were groups of
men looking for fun; women were few and far between.
What if a few men got out of the car and, seeing only two women, took advantage of them? They'd be helpless.

The two women exchanged a glance. "Yuyu, what do you think, should we stop this car or not?"

"Stop it."

"Really?"

"Or not?"

"Oh dear, what time is it? You're still joking."

"I...I don't know, we've run out of options."

In the time it took to speak, the car was already climbing up the mountain, almost there. Xu Ruyun
shivered . "I think we should just spend the night in the car. It'll be cold, but at least—what do you say?"

"Agreed!"

Yan Chengyu nodded.

*Click!* The car door opened, and the two girls quickly got in, closing the windows tightly. They hunched their shoulders, huddled behind the windows,
trembling, watching the car slowly approach.

"Yu Yu."

"Hmm!"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, what about you?"

"I'm thinking, what if he sees a car parked on the road and gets suspicious?"

"He's not that curious, is he

?"

"What if he is?"

"What if he is?" "Then what should we do?"

Xu Ruyun turned to look at Yan Chengyu, who was leaning on her shoulder.

"Yunyun, don't scare me."

"It's coming!"

The two girls watched anxiously as the car approached, then passed by on the side.

Whew! The two girls breathed a sigh of relief

when the car passed. But before they could relax, the car reversed. It reversed very slowly, seemingly
observing their car as it reversed.

The two girls' hearts pounded.

For some reason, a scene from a movie she didn't know she'd seen before suddenly flashed into Xu Ruyun's mind
. The two women were monitoring the people in the car outside. When the driver of that car drove past them
, he seemed to notice something and slowly backed away.

Xu Ruyun now felt a growing fear of being discovered.

"Go, go, hurry up..."

Xu Ruyun tried to use her mind to control the driver of the car outside to drive away, but the car stopped.
After a short while, the door opened, and a tall man in casual clothes, a baseball cap, and black-rimmed glasses got out.

The two women's hearts jumped into their throats.

"You jinx!"

The man circled the car and looked inside through the window. He knocked on the window. "Is anyone there?"

"Yuyu, he's alone!" "

Looks like it!"

"He probably wants to help us."

"Looks like it!"

"Should we get out? "

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

"How does he know what we're thinking?"

"You, you take off your hat!"

Xu Ruyun shouted. As soon as she spoke, she regretted it and quickly covered her mouth. That last remark might have been
a test .

"It's cold, Grandma!"

"Who's your grandma? We won't get out until you take it off."

"Oh, so you're not alone!"

Meng Jingyun thought to herself, "I was just trying to help you."

"Take it off."

"Unreasonable request. Fine, I'll take it off."

Meng Jingyun took off her hat. It was dark, and Meng Jingyun was wearing glasses, so Xu Ruyun didn't recognize her.

"Yu Yu, he looks so refined, he doesn't seem like a bad person!"

"Bad people don't have it written on their faces."

"Then what should we do?"

Yan Chengyu thought for a moment, "How about this, you make him open all the car doors, who knows if there's anyone else in the car."

"Right!...You, you open your car door."

"What are you trying to do now, my grandma? I was just trying to help you, you shouldn't be making things so complicated. Fine
, fine! You asked for it."

Helpless, to convince Xu Ruyun, Meng Jingyun had to open the car door.

"No one's here, Yu Yu."

***

Chapter 345 Fragrant Body in Arms

"Nobody's here, Yu Yu."

"Is it okay now?"

Xu Ruyun was about to open the car door.

"Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

She turned to look at Yan Chengyu.

Yan Chengyu's eyes flashed. "Yunyun, don't you find it strange? Why would he help us? There's no reason.
Anyway, you absolutely can't trust this person. The more someone seems like a good person, the more likely they are to be bad."

"Then what should we do? Hasn't he already shown enough sincerity? You're overthinking it!"

"Silly girl, you can't be too careful... How about this, ask him why he helped us."

"This—isn't that a bit much? He's trying to help us out of kindness, and we're not only ungrateful, but he's also
testing us repeatedly. If you were him, would you feel good about it? I'm afraid he'll turn around and leave as soon as you open your mouth."

"It's best if he leaves."

"Why?"

"Think about it, if he's truly kind and has no ill intentions, he'll definitely be angry at our distrust.
If he has ulterior motives—"

"Oh! I understand, Yuyu, you're so smart."

"Haven't you thought about it yet? I'm leaving!"

"You—why did you help us? You don't have ulterior motives, do you?"

"Tch!"

Hearing this, Meng Jingyun was genuinely angry. He waved goodbye and turned to get into his car.

"Hey! Don't go!"

Xu Ruyun quickly opened the car door, rushed out, and blocked Meng Jingyun's car with her arms outstretched. "Wait!" Under

the car lights, Meng Jingyun could clearly see that Xu Ruyun was dressed in a cute winter outfit: black riding boots, black
stockings, a black leather skirt, and a light gray leather coat.

Her medium-length curly hair shone golden under the light. She wore a light pink beret, tilted at an angle
, both cute and charming. A pair of black-rimmed glasses without lenses sat on her fair nose.

Her large, dark eyes looked at Meng Jingyun expectantly.

"How is it her?"

When Meng Jingyun saw Xu Ruyun's face, he was slightly surprised. He never expected that
the woman in the car was Xu Ruyun.

"Big brother, please help me!"

Xu Ruyun bit her lip.

When this woman feigns helplessness, men always soften.

"Finally figured it out!"

"I figured it out."

"I'm a bad guy!"

"Hehe, you're not a bad guy."

"Alright then, since you've said that, come on up! I'll give you two a ride up the mountain."

"Eh!"

Xu Ruyun danced with joy, "Thank you, big brother! Yuyu, get in the car!"

Meng Jingyun shook his head and smiled, glancing at the other woman, dressed similarly to Xu Ruyun.

Black high-heeled boots, flesh-colored long sheer stockings, a white cute wool skirt, a white Hermes coat, medium-length
curly hair, a white beret, and pink glasses without lenses.

Her clothes alone were clearly expensive; that top-tier French luxury brand Hermes coat alone cost
over 50,000.

No wonder, no wonder these two sisters could afford a Ferrari. It seems Xu Ruyun is far more than just a
company public relations manager; judging from her demeanor, she has the air of a wealthy young lady.

Both women sat in the back.

"Alright, bro, let's drive!"

*Snap!* Xu Ruyun closed the car door and patted Meng Jingyun's arm as if greeting a buddy.

"You're quite the gentleman."

Meng Jingyun started the car.

"Hehe, what's your name, bro?"

"You already know, my surname is Da, my given name is Ge, so I'll just call you bro."

"Hehe, you're really funny." "

And you two beauties, what's your name? What are you doing here so late at night?"

Although they were already in the car, Yan Chengyu didn't lower his guard against Meng Jingyun, constantly secretly
observing him with his eyes.

"You asked two questions at once, which one should I answer?"

"Whatever."

"My name is Xu Ruyun, and this cool beauty next to me is my good friend, Yan Chengyu. As for
how we got stuck here, that's a long story. Do you have any food in your car?"

"Food, do you want some corn chips?"

"That's great."

Xu Ruyun took the corn chips from Meng Jingyun's hand happily, "I never expected a grown man
like to eat this. It's like we girls have similar tastes. Yuyu, have some."

"Why are you eating other people's food so casually? No."

"Don't worry, my brother is a good person, he won't hurt us."

Meng Jingyun smiled.

"Hey! Big brother, you look familiar!"

"Really? You look familiar too."

Xu Ruyun got up and leaned against the back of Meng Jingyun's driver's seat, crunching on chestnut slices while carefully
examining Meng Jingyun. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Oh! You're Director Meng, no wonder!"

"You finally recognized me! I thought you'd forgotten me!"

"Director Meng!"

Yan Chengyu looked at Meng Jingyun. Xu Ruyun

plopped back into her seat. "Yuyu, he's the Director Meng I told you about. The eldest son of the chairman of our
Yangtze Group."

Yan Chengyu nodded. Xu Ruyun had told her about what happened at the party last night.

Upon realizing it was Meng Jingyun, Xu Ruyun's playful side instantly vanished, and she became ladylike, even stopping eating her chestnut slices
. This change was immediately noticed by Yan Chengyu.

"You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you? Confess."

"When you got out of the car."

"Then why didn't you say so?"

"What should I say? Should I say, 'Miss Xu, it's you! What a coincidence!' Would I be stupid? How embarrassing! I'm such a handsome
guy, and you didn't recognize me for ages! Where would my fragile self-esteem go?"

Since they were acquaintances, Yan Chengyu finally let down her guard. Hearing Meng Jingyun's words, she
chuckled , "You're so funny!"

"Yes! I've never seen such a petty man,"

Xu Ruyun echoed, then smiled, "So, you think you're more important just because I recognized you first?
Hypocritical."

"Just kidding!"

"Oh, right!"

Xu Ruyun smoothed a strand of hair from her forehead, then sat up and leaned on Meng Jingyun's shoulder. "Is Young Master Meng always
this kind-hearted?"

"What?"

"You help anyone who needs help, no matter who they are?"

"You mean just now! No, generally speaking, I prefer helping beautiful women and the vulnerable."

"How can you be so sure there's a beautiful woman in the car?"

Xu Ruyun's bright eyes were fixed on Meng Jingyun, her slender fingers playing with a lock of her long hair.
She knelt on the seat in stockings and boots, looking exceptionally relaxed.

"I want to know."

Meng Jingyun turned and smiled at Xu Ruyun.

Her delicate lips were almost touching.

"Nonsense!"

"Then stop calling me Director Meng or Young Master Meng, it feels awkward. Just call me Brother Meng."

Xu Ruyun tilted her head and thought for a moment, then tossed her long hair. "Okay, go ahead."

"It's simple. Have you ever seen a man drive a red Ferrari?"

"No."

"That's right, so I guessed there must be a beautiful woman in the car. And it turns out my guess was right."

Xu Ruyun pouted. "What were you doing up the mountain? You weren't here for Little Dragon Girl, were you?"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Longquan Mountain Villa, with its carved beams and painted rafters, was resplendent with lights.

Under the clear night sky, it was exceptionally quiet.

The neon lights flickered quietly in the gentle breeze.

The villa's mutton was superb, the hot springs were also superb, and the hotel's facilities were definitely comparable to,
or even better than, the grand hotels down the mountain.

The empty mountain night rain created an atmosphere of boundless beauty.

"Big sister, that little girl is already asleep."

At the entrance of the manor lobby, Sun Quan bowed respectfully to Ninth Sister.

"Very good!"

"Should we have someone keep an eye on her?"

"No need, she's just bait. We don't want her."

Ninth Sister turned to Long Sisi, "Sister Sisi, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Who exactly are you going to deal with this time?"

"Don't worry about that. I'm doing this for your own good."

Ninth Sister added at the end.

"Alright, I hope your business won't affect mine."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Long Sisi glanced at Ninth Sister and
turned
to leave. Just then, a tall, muscular man in his late twenties, wearing a white vest and jeans, walked out. His face was resolute, chiseled, with a stubble of sexy stubble on his chin, piercing eyes, and sword-like eyebrows.

His steps were slightly hurried. "Boss Long, have you seen the two ladies who came with me?"

His words were calm, but carried an overbearing, questioning tone.

Ninth Sister turned her head to look.

Long Sisi was taken aback. "Weren't they with you?"

"Nonsense, if they were with me, why would they be asking you?" "

Mr. Xue, please don't worry. The mountain isn't that big. I'll have someone help you look."

"No need, I've already looked."

"Is her car still there? Perhaps she went down the mountain."

This reminded Xue Li. He strode out the gate, passing by Ninth Sister without even glancing
at . Long Sisi sighed and turned to go downstairs. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% "Yunyun, Xue Li who went up the mountain is definitely looking for you

everywhere ." "So what?" Xu Ruyun's face turned cold. Yan Chengyu glanced at Meng Jingyun. "Aren't you afraid he'll get jealous?" "Tch, I have nothing to do with him. He's the one who shamelessly came to find me. Whether he's jealous or not is none of my business." "That's true, but you know his fiery temper." Saying this, Yan Chengyu glanced at Meng Jingyun again. "There's no need to involve innocent people!" "What do you mean?" Xu Ruyun lowered her voice. "What does this have to do with him?" "I mean, when we get to the mountain, we should find a place to get off early so as not to implicate others." Xu Ruyun thought for a moment and nodded. "That's right!" "What are you two whispering about?" "Nothing." The car continued to drive, but unfortunately, the weather turned against them. Several claps of thunder sounded, and the rain suddenly intensified. Looking at the dense rain outside the windshield, the two women exchanged a glance. With such heavy rain, getting off early would surely result in them getting soaked. After a short while, the car finally climbed the last large slope, entered the villa gate, and went into the parking lot. Meng Jingyun honked the horn twice. A security guard in the parking lot immediately ran out, holding a large black umbrella and wearing military boots, to direct parking . "Brother, do you have an umbrella in your car?" Meng Jingyun asked without turning his head, still holding the steering wheel. "I don't know." "I don't know! Boss, this is your car." Xu Ruyun rolled her eyes. Meng Jingyun finally parked the car. "Sir, can we borrow your umbrella for a moment?" "Sure!" The security guard, who was wearing a raincoat, stood by the car door holding the umbrella. Meng Jingyun got out of the car, took the umbrella, and knocked the rear window. "Get out!" The two women got out of the car one after the other. A sudden gust of wind and rain hit them, and the two women gasped in surprise, throwing themselves into Meng Jingyun's arms. The security guard glanced at them enviously. With his left hand busy, Meng Jingyun had to attend to his right, pulling Yan Chengyu into his arms. "Mmm!" Yan Chengyu's face flushed instantly, her cheeks burning. She didn't dare look up at Meng Jingyun, letting him hold her. "Ah! So fragrant!" Meng Jingyun rested his chin on Yan Chengyu's white beret, its soft fur smelling wonderful. He took a deep breath. Seizing such a good opportunity, Meng Jingyun naturally wouldn't miss it. Although his left hand was busy holding Xu Ruyun, he had his own Xu Ruyun was immediately splashed by the rain. Without Meng Jingyun saying anything, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist. Holding a beautiful woman in his arms, they strolled slowly in the rain. Although slow, the three seemed to be in perfect harmony, not uttering a single word.

Just now, when Meng Jingyun hugged Yan Chengyu, if it were her in the past, she would have definitely broken free immediately. But
strangely, she didn't do that for some reason.

Fortunately, Meng Jingyun didn't do anything inappropriate; he just gently embraced her. But what made her blush
was that she could clearly feel Meng Jingyun resting his chin on her beret and making intimate gestures with his nose on her head,
gestures only lovers would make.

However, she didn't feel any aversion.

*

Chapter 346 One-on-One Showdown

Xue Li sat back in a row of
silver-gray . He had already checked; Xu Ruyun's car wasn't there, she must have already gone down the mountain.

She didn't even take her phone; wasn't this deliberately avoiding him?

He had finally managed to follow Yan Chengyu from Fengdu to Huaiyang to find Xu Ruyun, but this woman
had run away again without a word, and this time, he didn't know where she had gone.

Xue Li just couldn't understand; with his looks and family background, he was more than a match for Xu Ruyun. Many beautiful
women cried and begged him to sleep with them, but he wouldn't even glance at them. Why didn't Xu Ruyun like him?

Yes, the Xu family had some influence, but if it weren't for the Xue family's generosity, would Xu Maocai have such
a good life today? Would Xu Ruyun have enjoyed a life of wealth since childhood?

Climbing into the Xue family was something countless noble families and members of high society dreamed of, but this opportunity was
right front of Xu Ruyun, yet she didn't cherish it.

Sometimes men are just like that; the harder something is to obtain, the more they want it. Perhaps this is
when a man's desire to conquer manifests.

Outside, it was pouring rain. Xue Li sat there motionless, his eyes blazing with anger,
staring intently at the floor beneath his feet.

"Almost done."

Meng Jingyun, with two beautiful women in her arms, finally entered the lobby and stood on the welcome carpet at the entrance.

"Wow! What a heavy rain!"

Xu Ruyun turned to look outside, her eyes shining, her face beaming with joy. "Yes! The weather is so
unpredictable. It's winter and it's raining so hard. Yunyun, your car won't get washed away, will it?"

"You jinx! If it does get washed away, you'll have to pay me back."

"Hehe!"

"Thank you," Meng Jingyun handed the umbrella to the security guard.

"Are you Mr. Meng?"

At this moment, a waiter came over, smiling at Meng Jingyun.

"Yes, I am!"

"This way, please. Miss Liu has already made the arrangements."

"Big brother, is someone inviting you to dinner? I'm hungry too. Can we both join them?"

"Uh—"

Upon hearing this, Meng Jingyun was in a dilemma.

"Please, big brother, don't be so stingy!"

As she spoke, Xu Ruyu hugged Meng Jingyun's arm and started to act coquettishly. For some reason, although she and
Meng Jingyun weren't very close and had only met twice, Xu Ruyun just liked
being . Because with Meng Jingyun, there were not so many constraints, and she could truly relax.

Perhaps it was Meng Jingyun's carefree and unrestrained style at last night's party that left a deep
impression on Xu Ruyun. This man was witty, bold, unpretentious, and possessed a strong yet composed personality.
Moreover, he had an immense aura; his personal charm far surpassed his outward appearance.

In his presence, she felt completely safe and could always open her heart and relax completely.

Yan Chengyu felt the same way. She was rather introverted, always mindful of her posture and demeanor, afraid of losing her composure
. But in Meng Jingyun's presence, she felt an unconscious joy, always able to let down her guard and want to spend
more time with him. Perhaps this was love at first sight!

Seeing the two women looking at him pitifully, Meng Jingyun was truly tempted. He knew very well that
the meal he was about to have was no ordinary affair.

Just then, a man suddenly "rushed" over, his
voice , "Xiaoyun, you didn't leave!"

Upon hearing this male voice, Xu Ruyun's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
She thought , "Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this annoying fly?"

Turning her head, she saw Xue Li already standing before her. "Xiaoyun, I thought you—"

Xue Li didn't finish his sentence before noticing Xu Ruyun's hand clinging to Meng Jingyun's arm, and he stopped abruptly.

He turned to look at Meng Jingyun, his gaze instantly turning cold, and pushed her away, "Who are you! Let go of your stinking
hand!"

Meng Jingyun had actually overheard the two women's whispers in the car, and she knew
who . Xue Li pushed her, but Meng Jingyun didn't flinch, simply tilting her shoulder.

A smile played on her lips, completely unconcerned.

But Xu Ruyun wouldn't have it. She tightened her grip on Meng Jingyun's arm, coldly saying,
"Xue Li! What are you doing!"

Yan Chengyu, standing nearby, also glared at Xue Li with hostility.

"What am I doing!"

Xue Li gritted his teeth and sneered, "What am I doing! What do you think I'm doing? My girlfriend is holding another man
's hand, and you're asking me what I'm doing!"

"Who's your girlfriend? Did I agree to that? I'm warning you, don't be delusional."

Seeing Xu Ruyun's protective attitude towards Meng Jingyun, Xue Li was furious, especially
seeing Meng Jingyun's half-smiling, disdainful look. He felt an urge to kill.

"Kid!"

Xue Li pointed at Meng Jingyun's nose, shouting, "If you're a man, don't fucking hide
behind ! Are you a fucking coward?!"

The argument in the lobby quickly attracted the attention of the boss, Long Sisi.

Xu Ruyun feared that Meng Jingyun, provoked by Xue Li, might impulsively fight him. If Meng Jingyun were truly her
boyfriend , it would be understandable, but he wasn't. Let alone a boyfriend, he might not even qualify as a friend
. Knowing Xue Li's capabilities, she was
terrified .

"Big brother, please don't pay him any attention! He's a madman!"

"I'm a fucking madman!"

With a whoosh, Xue Li grabbed his coat, and with a thud, ripped it off, buttons and all
. He then slammed it to the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed a muscular...
With his muscular chest bulging, Xue Li pointed at Meng Jingyun's nose again, his eyes blazing with anger. "One-on-one!"

Meng Jingyun's smile froze.

"Don't dare, coward!"

Xue Li sneered.

Seeing the situation turning against her, Long Sisi immediately gave an order to the waiter beside her and strode forward.

"Big Brother!"

"No!"

Yan Chengyu opened his mouth.

"Heh!"

Meng Jingyun smiled, pushed Xu Ruyun aside with one hand, and stepped forward.

Xue Li glanced at Meng Jingyun's hand, a sneer on his face.

"Big Brother!"

Xu Ruyun looked nervous.

"It's alright, I'll cool down your friend!"

Meng Jingyun took off his white casual suit, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, took off his watch,
and handed it to Xu Ruyun.

"Gentlemen, let's talk this out!"

"Get out of my way!"

Long Sisi's face turned pale and then red. Having dealt with customers for years, she was no longer easily flustered, but
she was still a woman. Even with a strong heart, she had a sense of shame. Xue Li's crude words greatly displeased her,
and she wanted to say something more, but Meng Jingyun's smiling gaze stopped her. She said nothing more,
nodded, and waved her hand. The security guards who had just arrived, upon receiving the order, stepped aside.

Long Sisi herself also retreated to a pillar; these were all guests, and she couldn't afford to offend any of them. But Meng Jingyun
's reassuring smile instantly won her favor, and at the same time, she felt a strange sadness, because she knew that the
"guest" Jiu Mei was to serve tonight was this exceptionally charming man before her.

In a corner, Jiu Mei crossed her arms, coldly observing the people around her.

The lobby fell silent; everyone held their breath.

The patter of the night rain outside could be clearly heard, and the damp, cold wind blowing in could be felt.

Two men stood in the center of the lobby, facing each other. One had bulging veins and gritted teeth. One of them stood expressionless,
his expression cold.

Xu Ruyun and Yan Chengyu exchanged a glance, both looking worried. Xue Li had grown up in a martial arts family, and
over twenty years of training and practice had given him a solid foundation.

In their minds, Meng Jingyun was bound to lose this battle. But when it came to their male pride, and since he had already pointed
the finger at them, they couldn't say anything more.

"Kid, you dare to undermine me! Today I'll show you what real strength is."

As soon as he finished speaking, a glint flashed in Xue Li's eyes. His outstretched hands clenched instantly, and his right foot swerved as if he were digging into the ground
and throwing sand. With the force of a flying dragon, he took a large stride and charged towards Meng Jingyun.

His momentum was accompanied by the rumbling thunder of the night sky, making it even more powerful. He

arrived in three steps.

He shouted and threw a punch. The punch

was cone-shaped and aimed straight at Meng Jingyun's Tianmen acupoint.

How ruthless! If this punch landed on an ordinary person's Tianmen acupoint, they would surely die. A cold glint flashed in Meng Jingyun's eyes, and his
attack was as swift as lightning. With a single, decisive move, he seized

Xue Li, pulling him back with a powerful stride. This retreat covered over three meters.

Xue Li, caught off guard by this move, lost his balance and tried to retreat, but it was too late. He was sent flying by Meng Jingyun
's pull, but to his surprise, Meng Jingyun immediately advanced, moving with lightning speed.

Hands behind his back, he rotated his right shoulder and slammed into Xue Li.

*Thud!* Before anyone could react, Xue Li was already flying, smashing a glass table to pieces with a loud crack.
In a single move, Xu Ruyun and Yan Chengyu stared in disbelief at Xue Li lying on the broken glass. They simply couldn't believe that
such a powerful expert as Xue Li had been defeated by Meng Jingyun in a single blow.

Was it underestimation?

Meng Jingyun dusted off his clothes, coldly observing Xue Li on the ground.

Xue Li staggered to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth.
His gaze filled with extreme hatred.

"Bastard!"

Seeing Meng Jingyun's arrogant demeanor, Xue Li completely lost his mind. He mustered all his strength
and charged at Meng Jingyun again, attempting to headbutt him.

A flash of cold light, and Meng Jingyun sidestepped. Just as Xue Li was halfway past him, Meng Jingyun delivered a powerful
kick . "No!"

Xu Ruyun covered her eyes. *Thud* The kick sent Xue Li sprawling. His body had been
moving forward, but the kick sent him flying backward.

*Thud* He landed heavily on the ground,

motionless.

Xu Ruyun peeked through her fingers and saw Xue Li lying on the ground, his face covered in blood. If it weren't for his still-rising chest,
she would have thought he was dead.

Meng Jingyun buttoned up his coat, took the jacket from Xu Ruyun and put it on. Then he put on his watch, turned it around, and said, "
Boss Long, could you please send a car to take him to the hospital?"

Long Sisi nodded and instructed the security guards to carry Xue Li away.

"Hey! What are you thinking about!"

Meng Jingyun waved his hand in front of Xu Ruyun, then glanced at Yan Chengyu and laughed, "The annoying
fly is gone, aren't you happy?"

The two women looked at each other, then rolled their eyes at Meng Jingyun at the same time, "You made us worry for nothing. Turns out you're
not so bad after all!"

Xu Ruyun patted Meng Jingyun's arm on tiptoe.

"It's nothing, I can still swat flies."

"Hehe..."

"I'm sorry!" Xu Ruyun apologized.

"You've already called me Big Brother."

Meng Jingyun blinked, "So it's only right. Besides, this guy is really annoying."

Chapter 347 Dinner Party

Ninth Sister glanced at Meng Jingyun, smiled, and turned to leave.

"You've already called me 'Big Brother',"

Meng Jingyun blinked. "So it's only right. Besides, this guy is really annoying."

"Annoying is annoying, but you went too far!"

"What, feeling sorry for him?"

Meng Jingyun looked down at Xu Ruyun with a smile, teasingly.

"Who feels sorry for him?"

Xu Ruyun blushed, biting her lip. "I'm afraid you'll hurt him and get yourself into
trouble ."

Meng Jingyun let out a long "Oh," a knowing look on his face. "So you were worried about me! Haha!"

Xu Ruyun glanced quickly at Yan Chengyu. "What are you laughing at? How annoying. It's not wrong for a younger sister to treat her older brother like a younger sister
."

Hearing this, Meng Jingyun's smile deepened.

Glancing at Yan Chengyu's meaningful gaze, Xu Ruyun realized she was only making things worse
. Explaining was just a cover-up, but she couldn't stand Meng Jingyun's smiling gaze, so she quickly added, "Is
n't it right? This whole thing started because of me, so it's only right that I show you some concern. You—you shouldn't overthink it."

"No, why would I overthink it?"

Meng Jingyun glanced at Yan Chengyu, who smiled in agreement. "What are you talking about? I don't understand a word!"

"You—you're so annoying!"

Xu Ruyun was almost dying of embarrassment. She reached out to hit Meng Jingyun, but then, realizing it would be too suggestive, she quickly withdrew her
hand halfway.

She turned away shyly.

"Hahaha..."

Yan Chengyu patted Xu Ruyun's shoulder, suppressing a laugh, "I understand, I understand!"

"Get off me!"

"Alright, alright, you're tired too, go back to your room and rest!"

Hearing this, Xu Ruyun turned around abruptly, "Yes, yes, we are a little tired, tired and hungry!"

As she spoke, she winked at Yan Chengyu, "Big brother, didn't you want to eat? Don't mind setting out a couple more pairs of chopsticks
!"

"You can't back out now."

Meng Jingyun looked at Xu Ruyun's mischievous eyes, a smile playing on her lips, "I don't mind, but
this meal is on a friend's behalf, it's a bit inconvenient to take you there. How about this, you two can have another table, it's on me."

Hearing this, Xu Ruyun's little mouth pouted, clearly unhappy. The more Meng Jingyun tried to hide it, the
more interested she became, "What's the point? When it comes to eating, the more people the better, don't you think,
Yuyu?"

"Hmm!"

Yan Chengyu blushed.

Meng Jingyun was about to say something when Xu Ruyun interrupted, "Since it's a friend's invitation, what's
inconvenient about it ? Aren't Big Brother's friends our friends too? It's good to get to know each other, unless—
"

"Unless what?"

Xu Ruyun's eyes darted around, "Unless it's Big Brother's girlfriend who invited him."

"Yes, his girlfriend."

"Which girlfriend?"

"What, which girlfriend? Which other girlfriend?"

"That would be Liu Yifei, that would be even better. Yuyu and I were just thinking of getting to know her."

"No, didn't you just say—"

"Said what?"

Xu Ruyun turned to look at Yan Chengyu, "Did I say anything?"

Yan Chengyu smiled and shook her head.

"Okay, I've been tricked."

Meng Jingyun affectionately pinched Xu Ruyun's nose. "No wonder you're a PR person, you've got some skills."

"Hehe, of course."

"Alright, I take back what I said earlier. The person who invited me wasn't my girlfriend, but someone else. We need to discuss
private matters , and it's not convenient for you to hear."

"Someone else? Then we're even more determined to go. Who knows if you're telling the truth or not? Discussing private matters? You're
not using this as a pretext to meet some mistress, are you? We'll have to keep an eye on you for your sister-in-law's sake."

Meng Jingyun was speechless. "You really want to go?"

"Of course."

"Think about it some more. I'm not letting you go for your own good. In the end..."

"Alright, alright, stop nagging. It's just a meal, not an execution ground."

Xu Ruyun grabbed Yan Chengyu with one hand and Meng Jingyun with the other, pulling them inside. She smiled at
the waitress and said, "Beautiful lady, lead the way!"

"Execution ground! Maybe you're right."

Meng Jingyun shook her head. However, this was no big deal for him; everything was under control,
except for the two women who had unexpectedly appeared. But perhaps things were even more interesting.

The waiter led Meng Jingyun and the other two to the fifth floor via elevator. The decor here wasn't too different from the grand restaurant
, but rather exuded a golden, luxurious atmosphere, with off-white floors, carved beams and painted rafters, and palace
lanterns adorning the walls.

After navigating five long corridors, the three followed the waitress to a large dining room.

"Please come in, gentlemen!"

Entering the restaurant, they immediately noticed fifteen large round tables, indicating a recent wedding banquet had been held;
a banner on the platform at the front still bore blessings for the newlyweds.

The restaurant was empty.

"Brother, your friend is really strange, inviting you here for dinner. Is he getting married today
?"

"Perhaps!"

"What are you saying? He invited you; don't you know that? How interesting."

Meng Jingyun smiled but didn't explain. "Sit down!"

Yan Chengyu was also puzzled. Judging from Meng Jingyun's expression, he seemed to know something but hadn't
spoken .

"Mr. Meng, welcome!"

Just then, Ninth Sister walked in. As she entered the restaurant, she clapped her hands, a slight smile on her face. She
was still wearing that long black trench coat, exuding a cold and elegant aura.

The collar stood up, encircling her slender neck, adding a touch of mystery. Her long riding boots clicked on the floor, and
her ponytail swayed gently as she walked. Her features bore a striking resemblance to international film star Zhang Ziyi.

Following closely behind her were a dozen or so women in uniform.

"Big Brother, are these your friends? They're quite impressive."

Ninth Sister walked up to Meng Jingyun, first glancing at Xu Ruyun and Yan Chengyu beside him, then
looking at Meng Jingyun with a smile. "Should I call you Mr. Meng, or Boss Meng?"

"Boss Meng?"

"Whatever! And you, beautiful lady, how should I address you?"

Meng Jingyun smiled with a hint of teasing, extending his hand. Upon hearing this, Meng Jingyun expected Ninth Sister to
immediately turn hostile, but to his surprise, Ninth Sister remained calm and unperturbed. She reached out and took Meng Jingyun's hand, saying,
"You can call me Ninth Sister, or you can call me Zhou Min, it's up to you."

With that, Ninth Sister stepped aside, and a woman respectfully pulled out a chair for her, allowing her to sit down.

Meng Jingyun turned around, gesturing for the two women to sit as well. Now they finally understood why Meng Jingyun
hadn't allowed them to come; this situation was unusual.

The waiter came in, brought out the food and drinks, then left and closed the door.

"Weren't you hungry? Eat up!"

The two women glanced at Jiu Mei and said "Oh." "Boss Meng, I really admire you. You
're always . I saw your kung fu downstairs just now, it was very impressive. No wonder you're the boss of the Tianlang Gang."

"Tianlang Gang!"

Xu Ruyun glanced at Meng Jingyun. She never expected that this gentle and refined man beside her
was actually the head of Huaiyang's underworld.

Meng Jingyun smiled. He could tell that Jiu Mei was testing him. "You went to all this trouble to invite me here, you
didn't just want to tell me this, did you?"

Although she was already pretty sure, Jiu Mei was still slightly surprised when Meng Jingyun tacitly agreed.
"Of course not. I admire Boss Meng's abilities, so I specifically wanted to ask him for some advice."

"Ask him about what?"

Meng Jingyun raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiu Mei. "For example?"

Jiu Mei still had a slight smile on her lips. "For example, how do you
manage ?"

In Jiu Mei's eyes, Meng Jingyun was now like meat on her chopping board, ready to be slaughtered whenever she wanted,
so she wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Oh!"

Meng Jingyun smiled playfully, leaning back slightly. "Isn't there someone right beside you who does
even ? Why bother asking me for advice when you have the chance?"

Ninth Sister, of course, knew that the person Meng Jingyun was referring to was Wang Dong, the leader of the Prince Gang. "He's different from you."

"How so?"

Meng Jingyun pressed. He noticed
a slight . This was an interesting piece of information.

"He is him, you are you. People are different; there's no comparison."

"But in terms of success, he's more outstanding than me. Shouldn't you be asking him for advice? Wouldn't that be more interesting
?"

Meng Jingyun wouldn't let this go.

Ninth Sister looked up at Meng Jingyun, seemingly knowing what he was thinking, and smiled. "
Just a rich kid who succeeded through family connections, not worth praising."

Hearing this, Meng Jingyun found it even more amusing. "Miss Zhou, he's your older brother.
Is this how you usually talk to him?"

"Irrelevant!"

Ninth Sister poured herself a glass of red wine. "I can also tell you that in terms of ability, he's no match for
you."

"Thank you, thank you for your discerning eye, Miss Zhou. Although I haven't met your boss, Wang Dong,
based on what you just said, I think I have a preliminary impression of him. I have a question:
since he's not worthy of your respect, why are you working for him?"

"Money!"

Ninth Sister shrugged, smiling at Meng Jingyun. "You heard me right, money."

"I'm surprised."

"Surprised about what?"

"A woman with such excellent qualities as you, actually pursuing such mundane things... I thought only I—
"

"What do you mean?"

"Of course, it's your wisdom."

Hearing this, Jiu Mei smiled. "Mr. Meng, it's been a pleasure talking to you. I'm glad you didn't mention my
beauty, although I am indeed very pretty. I think I finally understand why you have so many beautiful
girls ."

As she said this, Jiu Mei intentionally glanced at Xu Ruyun and Yan Chengyu beside Meng Jingyun.

The two women immediately blushed.

"Miss Zhou, may I understand that you... you also have some feelings for me?"

Jiu Mei smiled and nodded without any attempt to hide it. "I admit, I have a good impression of Mr. Meng."

"Then—"

"But, it's just a good impression."

Meng Jingyun made no attempt to hide the disappointment on his face. "Is Miss Zhou always so rational in dealing with things?"

"Perhaps. Actually, I'm a very emotional person."

Jiu Mei gestured, and one of her female subordinates immediately stepped forward to pour red wine for Meng Jingyun. Jiu Mei raised her glass in acknowledgment, and Meng
Jingyun smiled gently and raised his glass as well.

Meng Jingyun was increasingly looking forward to tonight's dinner. "What kind of woman is she?"

he wondered.

"Mr. Meng, I'm puzzled. Don't you care at all about your girlfriend's safety? I can tell
you love her very much."

"Concern isn't just words."

Meng Jingyun paused, then continued, "Besides, she's in your hands now. What can I do?
If you want to harm her, I can't stop you. Instead of getting anxious and frustrated, I'd rather face
it calmly. At least that way I can stay composed and not lose my temper."

"But you're too calm. I don't believe someone
would be this calm when they know their loved one's life is threatened."

"So?"

"What gives you such confidence?"

"Confidence! Are you sure you see confidence on my face? No, you must be mistaken."
