Chapter 83

On the other side, Ye Feng, who was unaware that he had been listed as a key investigation target by a mysterious department of the Chinese government and the top official of Mingzhu, had just woken up from a dream that was both sorrowful and worrying.

Walking out of the bedroom, he found Wu Xinghua and Qin Yan in the living room, chatting about something.

Seeing Ye Feng come out, Qin Yan immediately ran over, involuntarily grabbing his hand and said with concern, "Ye Feng, you're finally awake."

Seeing that Qin Yan was unharmed, Ye Feng felt greatly relieved and said, "I haven't had such a sound sleep in a long time. Yanjie, how are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable with your body?"

Qin Yan shook her head and said, "Just a bit of a heavy head, nothing else. Ye Feng, just now, I watched the news with Sister Xinghua. It seems my deductions were all correct. Many people died last night, all related to Liu Yong's case. But strangely, the news only briefly reported it, saying that a series of murders had occurred and the police had already obtained key evidence. That's all they said. I find it very strange. Ye Feng, what's going on? Sister Xinghua said you brought me here while I was unconscious and then left. Where did you go? Why did I suddenly become unconscious? What's happening?"

Ye Feng had to repeat what he had told Wu Xinghua the night before to Qin Yan. For now, he could only lie to Qin Yan and Wu Xinghua, as it was better for them to know as little as possible.

But Qin Yan was different from Wu Xinghua. She was a lawyer by training and liked to get to the bottom of things. She continued to ask Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, according to what you said, if you and I were knocked out by a murderer, why did they kill so many people but spare you and me, given that we both had a grudge against Liu Yong?"

Ye Feng knew Qin Yan would be different from Wu Xinghua and would definitely want to get to the bottom of things. He decisively answered, "Yanjie, don't ask me about this. I don't know why either. When I saw my coworkers die, I was overwhelmed with grief and had no time to think much. When I tried to see who the murderer was, I passed out. So, I don't know the reason either."

Qin Yan fell silent. After a while, she said, "Maybe the murderer deliberately left us alive, not wanting us to die easily, but to torture us."

Ye Feng continued to shake his head and remained silent, letting Qin Yan speculate.

At this moment, Wu Xinghua walked over and interjected, "Alright, let's not talk about these depressing things. You two survived a great disaster, and you should be grateful. We should all take a day off today. Xiao Yan, you don't need to worry too much. The murderer is now being hunted by the police in Mingzhu and may have already left. Ye Feng, you shouldn't be sad and upset anymore. The dead are gone, and the past is the past. You still have to face tomorrow and live on. If you keep wallowing in self-pity, you'll truly be letting down your coworkers. So, I suggest that instead of being worried and troubled, we should celebrate. I'll treat you both to a good meal and a drink tonight. A thousand gold pieces can't buy a good drunk, and a good drunk can wash away a thousand sorrows. Let's let all the worries and troubles roll away."

Qin Yan had no objections, but Ye Feng felt some resistance in his heart because of the tragic deaths of his coworkers. However, he ultimately did not refuse Wu Xinghua's suggestion. He suddenly realized that he could not remain immersed in the sorrow of his coworkers' deaths. If his brother Zhu knew, he would not want to see Ye Feng like this. More importantly, after experiencing so much, Ye Feng suddenly understood that while hatred is hard to let go, it should not become a burden that crushes his confidence and determination. Instead, he should use it as motivation, always reminding himself to work hard, strive, and persist.

So, when Wu Xinghua made this suggestion, he had no resentment, as she did not know the full story.

In the end, Ye Feng nodded in agreement. After grieving and being angry, why not get drunk?

Wu Xinghua was Ye Feng's boss, so he didn't need to take leave. Qin Yan, who worked for herself, naturally didn't need to worry about it either.

The three of them, each carrying their own heavy hearts, hoped to get drunk and wake up to a new tomorrow.

They didn't choose a fancy restaurant but a roadside stall, ordering several buckets of fresh beer. They let go of everything and had a big drink. During this time, Wu Xinghua and Qin Yan opened up, sharing stories of their childhood and college days. The events of the previous day seemed to dissipate with their laughter and chatter.

Qin Yan was the first to get drunk, while Wu Xinghua had the best tolerance and held out the longest.

As for Ye Feng, he was originally impossible to get drunk. With his current physical condition and internal energy, he naturally wouldn't get drunk. However, he deliberately suppressed his internal energy, wanting to get drunk, so by the end, he was truly drunk.

He had no memory of how they returned to Wu Xinghua's house that night. When his mind became slightly clearer, he was already in Wu Xinghua's home.

He woke up at an unknown time, still feeling the effects of the alcohol. His head was heavy, and his eyes were blurry. This feeling was something he hadn't experienced in a long time. He knew that he could instantly recover by circulating his internal energy, but he didn't want to do that. Since he wanted to get drunk, he decided to get completely drunk.

Ye Feng's steps were unsteady as he stumbled and bumped into the bathroom door in the living room. It seemed to be a reflex, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. After relieving himself, he left the bathroom and subconsciously looked at the living room. He saw Wu Xinghua and Qin Yan, who had not returned to their rooms but were lying on the sofa, drunk. This sight made Ye Feng freeze, unable to turn away.

He couldn't resist walking to the sofa and found that both women were sound asleep. Seeing their beautiful and sexy figures, like flowers in spring, Ye Feng, still drunk and not fully sober, felt a surge of heat.

Qin Yan's hand was tightly gripping the sofa cover, and her tight professional top was slightly open, possibly because she felt uncomfortable while sleeping and pulled it open. Her face was flushed from the alcohol, and she looked incredibly beautiful and alluring. Her small mouth was slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her tongue, and her expression seemed to carry a hint of worry, as if she was still worried about Ye Feng in her dream.

Ye Feng slowly shifted his gaze to Wu Xinghua, and his body became even hotter. Under the influence of the alcohol, a strong desire surged from his mind to his abdomen.

Ye Feng's eyes were wide open, and his chest felt like it was on fire.

Wu Xinghua's white top was almost completely open, revealing her black bra. However, her bra seemed unable to fully contain her firm and white breasts. Even lying down, her breasts still broke through the bra's restraint, exposing most of them. The tips of her breasts were visible, and with her breathing, they moved slightly, appearing and disappearing. Wu Xinghua had also drunk a lot that night, and the heat in her body might have caused her to almost completely open her top.

Worse still, the two super beauties, due to the heat and the effects of the alcohol, had unconsciously taken off their long pants before Ye Feng went to the bathroom. Now, they were lying on the sofa, exposing their long, beautiful legs to Ye Feng, who was drunk and had suppressed his internal energy like a normal person. Qin Yan was wearing light flesh-colored stockings, while Wu Xinghua was wearing black stockings. The two different colors of stockings accentuated their unparalleled beauty, tearing Ye Feng's retinas and destroying the capillaries in his nose. His eyes were fixed, and the mixture of alcohol and intense desire made his nose run with a sticky fluid.
