Yuwen residence.

“How’s the investigation going?”

Yuwen Yunyan looked at the report in her hand and asked the secretary behind her.

That person bowed slightly to Yuwen Yunyan with an ashamed expression.

It had been almost a week since Li Qingxi took over the position of the Li family’s head and assumed full charge.

However, even after such a long period of time, he still did not manage to complete Miss’s task for him. This made the secretary feel extremely ashamed and guilty.

“I’m sorry, I haven’t found any useful information so far. Please punish me, Miss.”

Yuwen Yunyan had clearly expected her subordinates to fail in their duties and did not take it to heart.

After putting down the report, Yuwen Yunyan took out a stack of photos and looked through them one by one.

All kinds of scenes were caught in these photos with different themes and styles. The only thing that didn’t change was that a boy would always appear in them.

A very handsome and attractive boy.

Yuwen Yunyan looked at the boy in the photo with interest.

“It seems like the fellow is hiding very well. What clues are there from the Li family?”

“None. At present, the Li family’s head has already expressed her love for that person.”

Lin Feng. As Li Qingxi took charge, this name had also appeared in the ears of the higher-ups of various factions.

But it was mostly because of Li Qingxi.

In the eyes of many, this was a lucky boy with some good looks who happened to catch the eye of the Li family’s head.

However, there were always exceptions. Yuwen Yunyan didn’t belittle Lin Feng like the others.

Her instincts told her that there must be something outstanding about Lin Feng that made Li Qingxi so captivated.

“I see. She’s really shameless. But, she’s so decisive and does seem like a leader in power.”

The Li family’s head, Li Qingxi, did not seize the opportunity to consolidate her power and stabilize the corporation during this important period of power shift. Instead, she immediately went to the world and confessed to a boy.

In Yuwen Yunyan’s opinion, this was rather abnormal. If Li Qingxi was the kind of person who muddled along aimlessly and played all day long, indulging in pleasure, then it was still understandable.

However, Yuwen Yunyan knew that she was not.

“Tsk, things have become troublesome.”

There was nothing special in the information about Lin Feng that they could find on the surface.

He just seemed like an ordinary boy. At most, he was just a little more good-looking.

However, Yuwen Yunyan did not believe that Li Qingxi was the kind of person who would be obsessed with men.

If that was the case, she wouldn’t be worthy of being her opponent.

“Miss.”

“What is it?”

“Actually, during the investigation process, we encountered several obstructions from external forces, but we are not sure which side they specifically came from.”

“Oh? There’s such a thing?”

Yuwen Yunyan looked at her secretary in surprise. Then, she fell into deep thought.

There is indeed something wrong with Lin Feng.

“Yes, that’s why I feel that this Lin Feng isn’t as simple as he looks.

“I got it.”

Yuwen Yunyan thought for a moment, picked up a bell on the table, and shook it.

“Miss, you called for me.”

A third person’s voice sounded in the room, but neither Yuwen Yunyan nor her secretary saw the person.

“This guy named Lin Feng, help me test him out. Also, pretend to do an investigation and sound out his background.”

“I got it.”

The meaning behind Yuwen Yunyan’s last sentence was obvious. She wanted to see if she could run into the mysterious organization mentioned by the secretary again.

If it was this person, Yuwen Yunyan was confident that he would definitely be able to dig out Lin Feng’s background.

The only problem was that Lin Feng might not take the bait.

As Yuwen Yunyan was talking to the third person, the secretary’s head was hanging low and a hint of fear flashed across her face.

“Don’t be scared.”

Yuwen Yunyan seemed to sense the secretary’s emotions. She turned around and lifted the secretary’s chin.

“You make it seem like I’m going to eat you.”

Seeing the secretary’s nervous manner, Yuwen Yunyan blew gently at her eyes.

With a jolt, the secretary dropped to her knees on the ground and kowtowed to Yuwen Yunyan repeatedly.

“Hehe, get up. I don’t intend to pursue this matter, but there won’t be a next time.”

“Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss…”

“Alright, prepare a car for me. I’m going to school.”

The secretary was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously met Yuwen Yunyan’s gaze and instantly regained her senses. Fear appeared on her face again.

“I’ll go right away.”

Li Residence.

“How did it go?”

After Li Qingxi signed her name on the last document, she stretched lazily.

Faced with Li Qingxi’s question, her secretary, Li Xiaoman, said,

“Don’t worry, Miss. Both the incident at the bar and the school have been covered up.”

“Mm, well done.”

Li Qingxi leaned back in her chair and listened to her subordinate’s report. She nodded.

At this moment, Li Xiaoman seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Li Qingxi and said,

“Speaking of which, we encountered people from the Yuwen family during the operation.”

Upon hearing “Yuwen Family”, Li Qingxi opened her eyes at once.

“I got it. Are they investigating Lin Feng too?”

After some thought, Li Qingxi asked, “Did they find anything?”

“No, the people on this mission are new, so they don’t know it’s us.”

Li Qingxi nodded.

“We’re being a little too open, but it’s alright, I’ll definitely protect Lin Feng well.”

After becoming the head of the Li family, with power in hand, Li Qingxi now had considerable confidence in her own strength.

Li Qingxi suddenly thought of something. She looked at her secretary and asked,

“Right, how’s the investigation going?”

She hadn’t forgotten the matter that Lin Feng had asked her to investigate.

According to the information provided by Lin Feng, someone in the Li family had instigated Lu Yu to assassinate Lin Feng.

Knowing what Li Qingxi was asking, Li Xiaoman bowed in apology.

“I’m sorry, please forgive my incompetence. I still haven’t found out who had instigated Lu Yu.”

“That’s interesting.” Li Qingxi naturally wouldn’t punish Li Xiaoman over such a small matter.

Rather, the other party’s result had already revealed a lot of information.

“Things are getting interesting.”

“The internal strife within the family is just an illusion. Other than the internal people, not many people know this.”

The other factions, including the Yuwen family, had been successfully deceived by the Li family’s chaos. They all thought that the Li family would split up.

However, the actual situation was completely the opposite. It was because Li Yugang was injured that they put on this show. On one hand, she was pretending to be weak, and on the other hand, she was testing Li Qingxi.

In other words, no one in the Li family would target Lin Feng.

“It looks like someone from another faction wants to use our name to get rid of Lin Feng and fish in troubled waters.”

Li Qingxi picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to her mouth, savoring the tea that had already turned cold.

Looking at the teacup in her hand, Li Qingxi suddenly said, “Speaking of which, Yuwen Yunyan still owes me a cup of tea. Just nice. Go prepare a car for me. I want to go get some tea.”

“Yes..”
