Chapter 5

The young nurse, full of confusion, followed Xiao Feng out of the ward: "What's wrong, sir?"

Xiao Feng lowered his voice and pointed to the ward: "Is my friend okay?"

"Rest assured, your friend is fine." The young nurse shook her head and said seriously.

Xiao Feng grinned, feeling amused inside. This girl seemed quite innocent. He put on a worried look: "Sigh, even though you say he's fine, I'm still worried."

He paused, then looked up at the young nurse: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, to apologize, and you can teach me how to take care of his injuries."

The young nurse hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I... I'm sorry, I have something tonight."

"Then tomorrow!" Xiao Feng blurted out, immediately regretting it. Damn, it's not the first time I've tried to chat up a girl, why am I so impulsive!

Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, the young nurse indeed became a bit wary: "No, I have something tomorrow too. Sorry, I need to get back to work." She turned and walked back into the ward.

Xiao Feng watched the young nurse's back, and gave a forced smile. He really didn't have the face to shout: "Miss, if you're busy tomorrow, how about the day after?"

Having failed to chat up the girl, he sat in the smoking area and lit a cigarette, chuckling to himself: "I really am getting more and more childish, can't even handle a simple girl."

Xiao Feng's attempt to chat up girls wasn't out of any particular desire, but rather a habit from his school days. Whenever they saw a pretty girl, the guys would want to go up and chat her up.

When he returned to the ward, the doctor and the young nurse had already left, leaving Liu Liu lying in bed with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Hey, Feng, did you fail?"

Xiao Feng waved his hand indifferently: "Ha, what's the big deal! You know my past glory."

"Yeah, I know your glory. Feng, can you do me a favor?" Liu Liu suddenly grinned, staring at Xiao Feng.

With a puzzled look, Liu Liu picked up his small bag, took out two photos, and threw them on the bed: "This is the rich lady I was watching. Can you help me watch her for a few days?"

"What? You want me to do such a low-class thing? Watch a rich lady?" Xiao Feng stared at Liu Liu, speechless.

Liu Liu chuckled: "I'm a patient now, how can I follow her?! If you can get close to this rich lady, you'll save yourself half a lifetime of struggle! Besides, she's a beauty, a tycoon in the business world, quite a challenge!"

"Beauty? Hell, do you really think I'm an animal that can't move when I see a pretty girl? Even if she's a beauty, it's just..." As he spoke, Xiao Feng's eyes swept over the photos, and his eyebrows raised. He immediately said: "Even if she's a dinosaur, for my brother, I'll do it, and I'll help you with this surveillance task!"

Actually, Xiao Feng agreed to help Liu Liu not just because the rich lady was attractive, but also because he wanted to meet the person who broke Liu Liu's two ribs. If this person had nothing to do with the rich lady, Xiao Feng wouldn't believe it!

"Ha, this rich lady is quite interesting, quite cautious, even giving Liu Liu a warning first. But my brother, Liu Liu, isn't someone to be easily intimidated!" Xiao Feng muttered to himself as he picked up the photos.

Liu Liu wasn't surprised by Xiao Feng's quick change of attitude. If it weren't for the rich lady's beauty, he wouldn't have taken on this job.

"Here, this is her information and daily habits." Liu Liu took out a small notebook and handed it to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng didn't hesitate, taking the photos, the notebook, and even Liu Liu's bag: "OK, I'm bored anyway, let's play with it."

He glanced at the time and then at Liu Liu, who was receiving an IV drip, and shook his head: "Rogue, I'll leave first, and come back when I have time." He wrote down his number: "Call me if anything happens. Don't worry, I'll break the ribs of the guy who broke yours."

If there was one place Xiao Feng least liked to stay, it was the hospital. He really didn't like the smell of disinfectant, and since Liu Liu's injuries weren't serious, there was no need to stay.

Liu Liu gave a thumbs up: "I'll wait for your return. I'll call you in a few days, and we'll have a good drink together."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Sure." He left the hospital with the rich lady's information.

In the taxi, Xiao Feng opened the notebook and started reading the information about the rich lady. "Xu Nu, CEO of Nu Yuan Group, 28 years old. Loves racing, has an adventurous spirit..." and so on.

The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth curved more and more, and he finally couldn't help but laugh: "Ha, indeed interesting, can't wait. Xu Nu, don't disappoint me."

Back at the villa, he turned on his computer and wrote an email with a special password, sending it out. "I wonder what instructions the higher-ups have for Duan Bian San Lang's plot." Xiao Feng rubbed his temples, muttering to himself.

After resting for a while, just as he was about to turn off the computer, his phone on the desk buzzed.

"Hello? I'm at home. Xu Nu is going to a ball? Okay, I know." Xiao Feng smiled and hung up the phone.

Two minutes later, Xiao Feng left the villa with his bag. Since he had promised Liu Liu, and had nothing else to do, he decided to take care of Xu Nu's matter first.

This level of surveillance wasn't something Xiao Feng was interested in. But he had a significant interest in Xu Nu!

To make the surveillance easier, Xiao Feng decided to buy a car and go directly to the ball in the evening.

Xiao Feng knew how to enjoy life and never shortchanged himself. His choice of a villa over a hotel showed this.

Since he was buying a car, it had to be a luxury car! Luxury cars are like women; only those who drive them can truly appreciate their charm.

This time, Xiao Feng chose the Ferrari FF!

Sitting in the Ferrari, Xiao Feng whistled idly, keeping the speed around 50 mph, driving leisurely towards his destination.

What? A Ferrari needs to go over 250 mph to be satisfying? Damn, with the city's traffic, even 50 mph can lead to a rear-end collision.

Xiao Feng was also quite helpless. If he had known, he might have bought a bulletproof Hummer H2! But that thing was too flashy, and the current Xiao Feng needed to be low-key!

The destination this time was the Silver Light Tower in Jiuchuan City. A ball was being held there tonight. As a prominent figure in Jiuchuan's business world, Xu Nu was a must-attend.

"Ah, being low-key is not a crime." Xiao Feng's left hand rested on the window, his right hand on the steering wheel, his eyes scanning the surroundings helplessly. Is it really necessary? It's just a Ferrari, why do people look at it like it's an alien UFO?

To avoid being stopped by the doorman at the ball, Xiao Feng left his world-class designer, Marc Jacobs, custom-made, one-of-a-kind '20 yuan street stall outfit' at home and changed into an Armani suit.

The Silver Light Tower is the second tallest building in Jiuchuan City, and its sole purpose is to host events.

The upper class of Jiuchuan, whether from the business, entertainment, political, or underworld circles, would choose the Silver Light Tower for large events, banquets, or balls.

The ball tonight was being held on the 28th floor of the tower. The ride up was uneventful, and he arrived at the 28th floor.

"Phew, this is the upper class of Jiuchuan?" Xiao Feng threw the invitation to the doorman, glanced inside, and muttered.

A slow, elegant melody played in the hall.

The ball had just started, and the host was speaking. Waiters with trays of red wine were circulating among the guests.

Xiao Feng's eyes scanned the scene, finally stopping on his target for the night, and his lips curled: "Even more sexy and beautiful than in the photos."

He stopped a waiter, took a glass of red wine, nodded elegantly in thanks, and sipped it slowly.

Suddenly, his phone in his pocket started vibrating. Xiao Feng took it out, answered, and walked to a quiet corner.

"Hello, yes, I have a single room for rent. Do you want to see it? Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow morning. Bye." Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, suppressing his excitement, and tried to speak in a calm tone before hanging up.

'Ha, the first tenant, a fairy, is coming! Damn, a high-quality cohabitation life is about to begin!!' Xiao Feng grinned, his mind filled with excitement.

After the excitement, Xiao Feng frowned slightly. The voice sounded familiar! He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he dismissed it. There are many people with similar appearances, let alone voices.

As a business tycoon in Jiuchuan, Xu Nu was undoubtedly the most pursued woman at the ball tonight.

Wearing a Western-style black off-shoulder dress, she exuded a mature and elegant air, showcasing her strong woman's charm. Her fair face, flushed from the red wine, added to her allure.

Surrounding her were seven or eight men in suits, occasionally telling lame jokes to make her laugh.

Xu Nu, out of politeness, maintained a smile and nodded frequently. But her dark, bright eyes betrayed a hint of fatigue.

"Ms. Nu, it's my birthday the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you have time to grace me with your presence?" A handsome young man in a black tuxedo approached Xu Nu, elegantly handing her a glass of red wine.

Seeing the young man, the others' faces changed slightly, and they subtly stepped back, then left.

Xu Nu clearly noticed this, and although she was unhappy, she smiled: "Oh? It's your birthday the day after tomorrow? Ha, even if I don't have time, I'll still come." She took the wine and sipped it.

The young man's eyes were intense as he stared at Xu Nu's flushed face, smiling elegantly: "Thank you for your presence, Ms. Nu."

Xu Nu frowned slightly, smiling apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Long, I'm not feeling well, I need to go to the restroom."

Mr. Long smiled: "Sure, Ms. Nu, take care." He stepped aside.

Xu Nu nodded, put down her glass, and left.

Mr. Long watched Xu Nu's back, his smile disappearing: "Hmph, a worn-out flower, still acting high and mighty! Xu Nu, sooner or later, I'll make you beg for mercy under me." His eyes were full of coldness and lust.

Xu Nu didn't know that her departure had offended Mr. Long. But she did leave because she found him annoying.

Lifting the hem of her dress, Xu Nu left the ball and walked onto the observation deck, leaning on the railing, enjoying the night view of Jiuchuan.

The warm air made Xu Nu feel short of breath. But even so, she didn't want to return to the ball.

She was tired. Everyone envied her as a business tycoon and a strong woman, but who knew the pain in her heart?

Her eyes misted over, and tears silently rolled down: "When can I rest? A life without support is so tiring. No warmth at home, forced smiles outside, ha."

"Are you tired? If you're tired, I can lend you my shoulder to lean on." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her.
