Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

75: 75. Wang Yuxi’s NightmareLu Feng was quite satisfied. Just as he was about to leave the dream space, he suddenly saw a yellow dream bubble float towards him.

It clearly read Wang Yuxi.

Lu Feng scratched his head, not knowing why, but the feeling of prying into a celebrity’s secrets was always a bit more exciting than others.

Lu Feng shook his head with a wry smile, then reached out to touch it.

The next moment, his vision kept changing, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already sitting on a leather sofa.

Before him was a bright office. Although not as luxurious as Xu Ting’s office, it was well-organized and simple yet elegant. On the wall behind the desk hung a calligraphy piece with the words ”Hou De Zai Wu” (Virtue Carries All Things), its powerful strokes suggesting it was from a famous calligrapher.

Lu Feng hadn’t figured out where he was yet when the office door opened, and a short-haired middle-aged woman in a business suit walked in.

She had a warm smile on her face and said, ”Yuxi, you haven’t been waiting long, have you? You won the Golden Orchid Award for Best Actress this time, we really need to celebrate. I’ve prepared a celebration banquet for 7 PM, don’t be late.”

Wang Yuxi’s tone was calm as she slowly said, ”Sister Wei, in the past five years, I’ve made twelve movies in total, earning over eight billion at the box office, which is far beyond our previous agreement. I’ve also won awards, bringing honor to the company. It’s time for you to return those photos to me, isn’t it?”

Hearing this, Wei Rong’s smile also faded. She slowly sat down in the boss’s chair, her high heels clicking, and looked at Wang Yuxi, then spoke unhurriedly, ”Yuxi, it’s not enough. I think it’s far from enough.”

Wang Yuxi suddenly stood up, her voice filled with anger, ”Sister Wei, you... you can’t do this! Those are all mine...”

Wei Rong clasped her hands under her chin and chuckled, ”Yuxi, I know what you’re thinking. After you get the photos, you’ll either leave the company to start your own studio or completely retire from the industry. Am I right?”

Wang Yuxi remained silent.

Wei Rong smiled, stood up, poured her a cup of coffee, and placed it on the coffee table, then said earnestly, ”You’d be leaving gracefully, but what about my Tianxing Entertainment Company? If you leave, I won’t have anyone to support it, and there will be a direct talent gap. That won’t do, will it? If you ask me, Yuxi, you should stay with peace of mind. At least... help me train a few outstanding new talents.”

Wang Yuxi suddenly stood up, looking at her in disbelief, her voice already choked with emotion, tears blurring her vision as she gritted her teeth:

”Sister Wei, you are also a woman. You should understand how much this matter hurts us. Five years ago, I chose to trust you and joined your company. How can you be so cruel as to hurt me a second time?! Why???”

Wang Yuxi stared stubbornly at Wei Rong, wanting an explanation from her.

Wei Rong shook her head and said, ”I don’t understand what you’re talking about, and I don’t care. Wang Yuxi, I’ve already told you the conditions. Sign for another ten years. If you insist on going your own way and letting my company lose its pillar, then we’ll both suffer. Those photos, I believe, can make the whole country go crazy. The new Best Actress’s nude photos, how fresh is that?”

”You! You!” Wang Yuxi trembled with anger.

Lu Feng frowned slightly, completely unprepared for the fact that Wang Yuxi, whom he had seen last night, was burdened with such a situation. No wonder she seemed a bit neurotic when they first met; it turned out she was pushed to the brink of collapse.

Sigh... But Lu Feng was curious, how did she end up with nude photos in someone else’s hands?

Almost as soon as the thought arose, Lu Feng felt a sense of weightlessness, and he plunged wildly downwards.

The next moment, he landed on a pink circular waterbed, surrounded by purplish-red, ambiguous lighting, accompanied by a strong scent of cologne.

Before Lu Feng could react, a shirtless, obese man with a white towel wrapped around his lower body had already pounced on him, one hand holding an SLR camera, the other frantically tearing at his clothes.

”No! Get away from me, ah ah ah! Help me, ah ah!”

The man exhaled hot air, grinning menacingly, ”Hahaha... don’t resist, how beautiful you are. Let me enjoy you a bit, and afterwards, I can give you more resources.”

”Please... boo hoo hoo... no!”

”Damn it, don’t play hard to get!”

Wang Yuxi resisted frantically, but she was no match for this heavy-set fatty, and her clothes were torn off one by one.

From a first-person perspective, Lu Feng saw this greasy fatty with three layers of fat constantly approaching, which made him feel nauseous and extremely uncomfortable!

He couldn’t take it anymore and directly detached from the first-person view, landing in the nearby restroom and retching.

This feeling... was even more terrifying than a jump scare in a horror movie.

The noise from the restroom also caught the fatty’s attention. He turned his head, saw Lu Feng, and asked in confusion, ”Who are you?”

Lu Feng was annoyed just by looking at that face. He subconsciously raised his foot and kicked, angrily saying, ”Go to hell, you scumbag.”

”Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

The fatty flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall and screaming incessantly.

Lu Feng, still not satisfied, kicked him a few more times before turning around. He saw Wang Yuxi, who looked at least ten years younger, clutching a bedsheet, trembling in terror, her body wrapped up.

She was like a frightened rabbit, a completely different person from the charming Best Actress he had seen last night.

Lu Feng sighed and, with a wave of his hand, the dream shattered like glass with a ”clank.”

Lu Feng quietly opened his eyes. The sunlight from outside the clean floor-to-ceiling window spilled onto the silk velvet duvet, but it didn’t make him feel warm.

Behind Wang Yuxi’s glamorous facade, there was actually such an encounter, being photographed, and now even being threatened by her company. Alas, how tragic.

”Moreover, the first-person perspective is too impactful. Whether it’s killing someone or being violated like that, it’s too shocking. I should try to use it less in the future,” Lu Feng exhaled a murky breath and lamented.

Although he knew these things, he had no intention of interfering. Having experienced so much, Lu Feng also knew that everyone in this world has their own misfortunes, and forcibly intervening in others’ troubles comes with consequences.

Without substantial benefits, and not being close to the person, why get involved?

He got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. After washing up, he had just left his room when he saw Xu Ting also opening her door, yawning as she came in.

”Good morning, Sister Xu. Huh, didn’t you sleep well last night?” Lu Feng asked curiously.

Xu Ting shook her head listlessly and said, ”Yuxi had nightmares again last night, so I naturally couldn’t sleep either.”

”Sorry, Tingting, my constitution always makes me have nightmares. The sleeping pills ran out yesterday, and I couldn’t control it,” Wang Yuxi poked her head out from the doorway, a apologetic smile on her face.

”Oh, you. Do you want to see a psychologist? Maybe it can cure your nightmares of so many years,” Xu Ting suggested.

”No need, I know seeing a psychologist is useless. To express my apology, I’ll make you breakfast.”

Wang Yuxi walked in on her own, her gaze lingering on Lu Feng as if she wanted to see something special in him. She showed a gentle smile, reached out, and pinched Lu Feng’s cheek, saying, ”Little Feng, Jiejie dreamt of you last night.”

Xu Ting rolled her eyes, ”You just met yesterday, and you dreamt of him last night? Who are you trying to fool?”

Lu Feng chuckled, ”What did you dream about?”

Wang Yuxi’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled, ”I won’t tell you, but... it was a good thing that put Jiejie in a good mood, so today I’ll make you a hearty breakfast too.”

Lu Feng knew she must have seen him beating up the fatty in her dream.

However, this event appearing in a dream wouldn’t really arouse suspicion, as dreams are often absurd and illogical, so it’s perfectly normal for someone you just met today to appear.

Xu Ting, beside them, held her forehead, completely defeated by her best friend’s bold words. Why was she always making suggestive remarks to a Little Feng?

Especially seeing Wang Yuxi’s alluring gaze, she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

What dream... what good thing... what made Jiejie in a good mood? How could she say such suggestive things? Was it really appropriate to tease a teenager who had just turned eighteen like that?

Fortunately, Wang Yuxi didn’t continue speaking. Knowing when to stop, she swayed her hips and walked towards the kitchen.

She confidently opened the double-door refrigerator, took out several boxes of organic ingredients, and tied on an apron with great flair.

Lu Feng initially thought this Best Actress would be a great cook, but the next scene left him dumbfounded.

”Bang!”

The frying pan in Wang Yuxi’s hand slammed heavily onto the induction cooktop, splattering oil everywhere.

”Crash!”

The freshly cracked eggshells shattered all over the floor, and she almost slipped on the egg liquid.

After much fumbling, she finally managed to light the stove, but soon the smell of burning permeated the entire open-plan kitchen, creating utter chaos.

Lu Feng couldn’t bear to watch any longer and said, ”Um... I’ll do it.”

He was worried that if this woman kept at it, they wouldn’t even have breakfast.

Wang Yuxi sheepishly gave up her spot, still holding her charred masterpiece and questioning her life choices.

She stood aside, curiously observing Lu Feng as he rolled up his sleeves and skillfully cooked at the stove.

Scrambled eggs, pan-fried bacon and hotdogs, a few slices of buttered toast, and poured milk—a hearty breakfast was quickly prepared.

Xu Ting, who had just finished washing up, came out and smelled the aroma, surprised, ”Yuxi, when did your cooking become so amazing?”

Wang Yuxi teased with a smile, ”Really? Then you eat what I made, and I’ll eat Little Feng’s.”

Xu Ting looked at the charred substance on the plate, her mouth twitching. Her gaze then turned to Lu Feng, adding a touch of admiration. This young man was already a force in the business world, but even his cooking skills were so exquisite?

Just as the two women were about to dig in, Yu Tianxiong’s steady footsteps were heard from the stairs. He held a tablet and said, ”Sir, latest news.”

The screen clearly showed a close-up of Zheng Mingtao’s corpse—his pale, swollen face still frozen in terror, with clear ligature marks on his neck.

”Zheng Mingtao’s body was found in a house at the dock, dead from blunt force trauma. The culprits have been identified as Yang Lao San and Liu Jinquan. After escaping by boat to sea, they are suspected of fighting among themselves and falling into the water, and are now missing.”

Lu Feng was well aware of this matter, so he wasn’t surprised, but Xu Ting and Wang Yuxi were both shocked.

”So, this case will eventually... be dropped? So... the Zheng family won’t even find anyone to take revenge on? How unlucky indeed,” Wang Yuxi gasped.

Xu Ting felt a heavy weight in her heart after hearing this. She unconsciously touched the back of her neck, suddenly remembering Lu Feng’s casual remark last night, ”They might have already torn up the ticket.”

It was almost like a prophecy.

She decided that after returning, she would definitely upgrade their security level to prevent such accidents from happening.

After finishing breakfast, the two women left in a hurry. Xu Ting had many things to deal with, especially after securing the three land plots, which would be the focus of Donghai Group’s future work. As she left, she reminded him, ”Oh, by the way, Xiao Lu, regarding the property transfer, I’ll have the lawyer contact you then.”

After she finished speaking, the sound of high heels gradually faded, and the large mansion suddenly became quiet, leaving only Lu Feng and Yu Tianxiong.

Lu Feng sat at the dining table, his notebook spread open before him, and began to sort through recent information.

He first wrote down the bold characters ”Three Billion.”

This was the largest sum of money he had earned so far, and this money would be used in his upcoming plans.

This sum of money seemed like a lot, but in reality, it wasn’t that much when put to use. First, it was necessary to inject capital into Tingfeng Capital. So far, this company only had a name and was an out-and-out shell company, which was definitely not acceptable.

There were too few people, so the company’s framework had to be built, employees recruited, and teams established. At least three core departments were needed: finance, legal, and investment research, none of which could be missing.

For many things, he would give orders and control the direction, while Yu Tianxiong and his subordinates would carry out the operations. If he had to do everything himself, Lu Feng felt he would be exhausted to death.

Besides, he was still just a student. He was going to college in a few days, so how could he have time for all this... ahem, this was certainly not an excuse for laziness.

Lu Feng expressed his thoughts, and Yu Tianxiong listened silently, then nodded and said, ”The headhunting firm has existing candidates.”

”The second thing... is security,” Lu Feng continued to write, his pen tip indenting the paper.

This was also the alarm bell that Zheng Mingtao’s incident had rung for him.

In the future, as he expanded and developed, he would definitely encounter opponents. If the other party played by the rules, that would be fine, but if they didn’t and resorted to some underhanded tactics, it would be very detrimental to Lu Feng. Although he had dream fragment warnings and was skilled, the saying goes, ’He who often walks by the river cannot keep his shoes dry.’

Therefore, a security unit must be established.

He looked up at Yu Tianxiong and said, ”Especially you, you are rising now and will sooner or later attract the attention of your ex-wife, Li Wanrong. I believe they will definitely not stand idly by, and a security company can also protect your safety.”

That name caused the air to suddenly chill. Yu Tianxiong’s knuckles turned white, as if he was back in that rainy night five years ago, with betrayal, pursuit, and a desperate flight worse than death... His eyes sharpened.

His ex-wife, who betrayed him, was now the spokesperson for a certain overseas consortium, with deep-rooted influence. Given her personality, knowing he was alive, she would certainly not let him make a comeback and would send people after him.

”Sir, the choice of personnel for the security company is very important; they must be thoroughly vetted,” Yu Tianxiong reminded him.

Lu Feng smiled mysteriously and said, ”I know. I’ve already started looking for candidates.”
