Chapter 198: Bidding
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Yin Tao thought of Ji Yu’s defeated expression, she couldn’t help but laugh. “I really need to have a chat with him tomorrow. A true man is one who can take defeat. He shouldn’t be prejudiced against a young lady. Xiaoji will really lose completely if he even loses out to her in terms of magnanimity. ”
“Sigh, you really shouldn’t provoke him now. He will come to terms with reality soon.” Bai Luo lay back on the bed. The police’s case against Meng Heng had already been established. As soon as Meng Heng woke up from his coma, he would be prosecuted immediately.
Now that there was one less case at the police station, everyone could take a breather.
Yin Tao had a quick wash. Seeing that Bai Luo was still awake on the bed, she asked her, ‘Was Captain Feng at the police station this afternoon?’
“I don’t think so. I think something happened to Captain Feng’s friend. He wasn’t at the police station in the afternoon and didn’t come back either. I thought Captain Feng was with you.”
Yin Tao fell into deep thought upon hearing what Bai Luo said. Feng Jing didn’t have many friends, and Yin Tao had met almost all of them. For a moment, she couldn’t think of who could have gotten into trouble. Yin Tao wondered if she should ask Feng Jing about the situation.
Yin Tao glanced at the time and decided not to disturb Feng Jing. After all, her relationship with him was not close enough for her to ask about his private matters.
With a heavy heart, Yin Tao lay down on the bed.
Meanwhile, Feng Jing was sitting on the sofa and receiving a call from Lin Jia.
“Captain Feng, I have to thank you properly today.” Lin Jia’s happy voice came from the receiver. Feng Jing had just returned from Xi Feng’s company. When he heard Lin Jia’s happy voice, he felt a little tired.
“Treat me to a meal one day. Talk is cheap.”
Lin Jia wasn’t upset. Instead, he continued to smile and said, “Xiaotao and I got along very well today. It’s all thanks to your help, brother. If you hadn’t been willing to bring me along, I wouldn’t have had this chance.”
Feng Jing massaged the bridge of his nose and asked Lin Jia helplessly, “If you are trying to show me your relationship status, forget it. I’m not interested in your personal life.”
“Tsk, no wonder Xiaotao said that you’re a stoic old soldier. You’re old-fashioned and boring...”
Lin Jia’s innocent joke made Feng Jing fall silent. Could it be that he was really boring in Yin Tao’s opinion?
It wasn’t completely untrue. Compared to the chivalrous and meticulous Lin Jia, Feng Jing felt that he was indeed a little boring.
“Then you two should get along well.” Feng Jing’s tone was very calm, and his emotions couldn’t be detected over the phone. “Lin Jia, you’re not young anymore. You should behave yourself and treat her well.”
“You don’t have to supervise me. Even Yin Hao hasn’t said anything.” Lin Jia didn’t detect the loneliness in Feng Jing’s tone. He was still immersed in the joy of getting along well with Yin Tao.
“Don’t just focus on your love life. I’m afraid the recent competition for the project in City A will not be peaceful. I saw Xi Feng today. His company has probably gotten into some trouble.”
Hearing Feng Jing’s serious tone, Lin Jia also became serious. ‘Xi Feng? Isn’t he making good progress?”
“Things were going well initially. The joint venture was also very successful.”
Feng Jing thought of the concerns Xi Feng had told him today and reminded Lin Jia, “But he seems to have been targeted. The other party is waiting for Xi Feng to let go.”
“Another bidding war...” Lin Jia was also very sensitive to these business competitions because of Brother Feng Jing’s matter. He also knew what Feng Jing was really worried about.
“I’ll investigate carefully and see who would benefit most when Xi Feng let go.” Lin Jia paused for a moment and sighed softly. He said to Feng Jing, “It might be a good thing. This time round, the fish might really bite on the bait that we’ve placed for so many years.”
Feng Jing ended the call with Lin Jia feeling a little conflicted. The matter with Xi Feng’s company was already frustrating enough. Lin Jia’s call had disturbed him even further. He was on the verge of a breakdown.
Feng Jing leaned against the sofa and rubbed his hair weakly.
“Ah Jing, are you alright?” Feng Ya heard the sound in the hall from the second floor and walked down with a blanket draped over her shoulders.
“I’m fine, Auntie. Rest early.” Feng Jing quickly adjusted his mood and smiled at Feng Ya. Just as he was about to get up, he was surprised to be stopped by Feng
Ya.
“Feng Jing, something is not right with you.” Feng Ya looked at Feng Jing carefully. She felt that something was wrong. He looked a little weak and helpless now.
This was the first time Feng Ya had seen Feng Jing like this. She felt that it was both novel and a little terrifying..
