Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Are you not afraid of retaliation?

”You... you!” At this moment, Zhou Wenlong felt his face particularly hot with shame, never having imagined he would be insulted by such a nobody today.

This was simply the most humiliating day of his life!

Even Mu Yang couldn’t help but hide to the side and sneer.

Who would have thought this little security guard would have such guts. Wasn’t he afraid of retaliation later on?

Even the usually low-key and silent Zhang Xixi nearly let out a ’pfft’ trying to hold back laughter.

Many were scoffing at Zhou Wenlong’s show-off, wealth-bashing ways with disdain. What was so great about having money? Did they think no one else had seen money before? The employees of Tianyu Group, if nothing else, dealt with wealthy clients on a daily basis.

For Zhou Wenlong to show off his wealth in front of Tianyu Group’s security guards was this not an idiotic act? Moreover, his remarks had indeed been quite off-putting, and now look! He got a severe dressing-down by the security guard, standing there like a fool, clueless about how to respond.

Zhou Wenlong intended to put on airs and trample others, but now he was ruthlessly trampled in return, and he even felt like dying.

”What do you mean ’you’?”

Rendered speechless by Lin Zifeng’s direct hit, and fully aware that he had lost face completely, Zhou Wenlong’s neck turned red as he pointed at Lin Zifeng’s face and retorted indignantly, ”You’ve got guts!”

”Ding!”

As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhou Wenlong ran out like a frightened rabbit, scrambling and panicking to get out.

With Zhou Wenlong, the burden, gone, Mu Yang appeared to relax all at once, turned to Lin Zifeng with a flattering smile, and said, ”Thank you.”

”Thank me for what? I didn’t help you out,” Lin Zifeng responded, shrugging nonchalantly. Zhou Wenlong was indeed annoying; Lin had given him face, but he had chosen not to take it.

”Thanks for helping me get rid of the burden,” Mu Yang said with a sunny smile, revealing a row of white, snow-like teeth, her mouth full of tempting sweetness. Her curvy figure was tantalizing, particularly her bare, plump and slender legs. Although they weren’t as slender as Nangong Bing’s,

they were well-proportioned, and her ultra-short OL uniform skirt indeed made every man’s imagination wander. Lin Zifeng still remembered clearly that last time in the HR department, she had pinched a certain part of his body! He had been quite shocked at the time!

He had thought this woman was just an easy, frivolous person, but now it seemed she had some spirit! She had figured out a way to make Zhou Wenlong retreat without a fight.

But now, Lin Zifeng had gained another potential enemy.

”Ding!”

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again, and the passengers inside followed suit in leaving. Zhang Xixi glanced back at Lin Zifeng with a complicated look in her eyes, uncertain what she was thinking. Seeing Lin Zifeng chatting amiably with Mu Yang, she quietly departed.

”Heh, it’s a small matter. If you need anything in the future, just call me,” Lin Zifeng said, first stunned and then leisurely lighting up a cigarette.

”How can that be okay?” Mu Yang said, her pretty face turning a bit rosy, ”How about coming to my place tonight?”

Uh... surely not! A joke was just a joke; you couldn’t seriously be into me, could you? Inviting me over to your place so quickly? How could that be okay? I’m a married man.

Lin Zifeng looked at Mu Yang with a bewildered expression, thinking he couldn’t possibly be that attractive. He had shown off probably the most unattractive side of himself to women; could it be that some women actually liked his type?

”Pfft!”

Seeing Lin Zifeng’s nervous expression made Mu Yang burst into laughter. Blushing, she teased in a sweet voice, ”What are you spinning your eyes for? I didn’t eat you up. I’m moving today, remember? You just said to call you if I needed anything. Doesn’t this count as asking for your help?”

This elf! She almost scared the life out of me! Lin Zifeng secretly broke out in sweat.

”What? Are you unwilling?” Director Mu sized him up again, finding the man interesting, especially the way he criticized Zhou Wenlong with a laugh. It was as if he had become a different person, particularly likable.

”Hehe, how can I be unwilling? Especially since Director Mu, the beauty herself, has spoken, I, Lin Zifeng, must spare no effort to keep her company. I happen to be free tonight, so I can help you move as well.”

Lin Zifeng patted his chest, portraying the image of a good man.

”Is that a promise?”

Mu Yang’s eyes shimmered with something unusual, feeling a bit of secret joy. Her enticing glance swept over Lin Zifeng’s gaze, oozing charm. Had it been the old Lin Zifeng, young and impetuous, he probably couldn’t resist hugging her and tenderly caressing her, but the Lin Zifeng of today had long outgrown the naivety of his youth, acting without considering the consequences.

Mu Yang was twenty-six this year, a year or two older than Lin Zifeng. For a woman her age to still be without a boyfriend, there could only be two reasons: either she had a psychological issue, a pathology of some sort, or she was the type who liked the thrill of stolen pleasures.

Most likely, this woman belonged to the latter group, fond of stolen pleasures. For such a businesswoman to occupy the position of a director in Tianyu Group, she indeed had more choice than others, not to mention she was not only beautiful but also seductively charming.

In Zhonghai City, there were countless women in their mid-twenties to late twenties who had yet to find boyfriends and marry.

In this day and age, as long as a man had money, he needn’t worry about finding a woman, and as long as a woman was beautiful, why should she worry about finding a man? With someone as outstanding as her, heaven knows how many men she has behind her?

Haven’t you heard the saying that behind every successful woman, there are thousands of men who have contributed?

After exchanging their phone numbers, Mu Yang gave Lin Zifeng a seductive glance, then sashayed away, leaving Lin Zifeng to admire her lithe, rhythmically swaying figure.

After she left, Lin Zifeng couldn’t shake the feeling that he had fallen into her trap. Perhaps, moving house was just an excuse?

At this thought, Lin Zifeng let out a long sigh.

”Sigh, overthinking will only damage brain cells. Best to just take things one step at a time.”

...

To uncover the theft case of the computers from the warehouse, Lin Zifeng first started his investigation there, figuring that if the computers had been stolen from the warehouse, the thief must have left some clues.

Even if there was an insider in the company playing a nasty prank, things couldn’t be that simple, right?

After three hours of thorough investigation, Lin Zifeng had a good idea of who it might be.

However, this matter couldn’t be publicized. It was clearly just a petty prank within the company, and if Nangong Bing wasn’t involving herself in it, why should he bother? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

To ensure the stolen computers were returned to their rightful owner, Lin Zifeng instructed the security staff to announce within the company that the perpetrator of the theft was known, and to claim that if the computers were returned, the matter would be dropped to avoid awkwardness for everyone.

Of course! Following Lin Zifeng’s plan, the security team dare not speak of it everywhere. They spread the information in the trade department as instructed by Zifeng.

True to Lin Zifeng’s expectations, when people have a guilty conscience, they become especially uneasy, particularly in their emotions.

Take murder, for instance. If one is a professional assassin accustomed to killing, such a person would have an extremely strong psyche, capable of maintaining a calm mind and steady emotions. But if someone has never broken the law before, their psyche is like an ant’s.

Any minor disturbance would make them paranoid, and they would be the first to panic.

It is what psychology refers to as ’having a guilty conscience.’ Once a person has a guilty conscience, no matter what the situation or what they hear, their emotions tend to panic easily and take control.

So, a few hours later, following Lin Zifeng’s instruction, the security staff evacuated the warehouse, leaving it empty. Sun Xiaonao, looking nervous, arrived with a group of people and meticulously restored the stolen computers.
