The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 56 - 56 56 A Feast for the Eyes

56: Chapter 56: A Feast for the Eyes 56: Chapter 56: A Feast for the Eyes “I don’t think Mr.

Lin is here just to drink tea,” she said.

Seeing through the indifference at the bottom of Lin Fei’s eyes, Xue Mei completely gave up on the idea of enticing him.

“To tell the truth, I actually came to kill someone.”

Lin Fei said this with a smile, but the fleeting murderous intent in his eyes instantly made Xue Mei feel as if she had plunged into an ice cave.

Xue Mei was no delicate woman; on the contrary, her ability to control Thorny Rose wasn’t merely due to her family’s legacy.

She had seen blood, and she had seen death.

But Lin Fei’s indifferent gaze and the fleeting murderous intent were something Xue Mei had never seen before.

At that moment, she didn’t doubt that, had she not taken a softer approach with Lin Fei earlier, she might have been a corpse by now.

“Is it because I had people test Mr.

Lin?”

Xue Mei was anxious, but her good mental fortitude allowed her to maintain an unlimited charm in her demeanor, as though Lin Fei wasn’t talking about killing her.

“From my point of view, that wasn’t a test but a provocation.

Besides, you shouldn’t have let them disturb Old Wang at the hospital.”

Old Wang’s family were ordinary people who had once been kind to Lin Fei; no matter what, Lin Fei didn’t want their peaceful life to be disrupted because of him.

“Then why hasn’t Mr.

Lin made a move yet?”

Xue Mei’s laughter was like a melodious chime, touching the heartstrings.

“Because, I’ve changed my mind.”

“Oh?

So Mr.

Lin doesn’t plan to kill me now?”

“Death penalty can be spared, living sins cannot escape.”

“What does that mean?”

Xue Mei sighed with relief inwardly; she had really thought Lin Fei wanted to kill her.

Once Lin Fei decided to take action, Xue Mei clearly wouldn’t just sit and wait for death.

However, she knew all too well that her chances of surviving under Lin Fei’s hand were slim.

Very few people could make Lin Fei change his mind, and he rarely changed it, but Xue Mei’s performance had indeed won him over.

Killing such a woman would be a huge loss for mature woman aficionados worldwide.

This woman had sent people to test him, indirectly disturbing Old Wang’s family.

Although Lin Fei wasn’t planning to kill her, he couldn’t let her off easily either.

Accompanied by the sound of diving, Lin Fei faintly heard the woman scold him for his shamelessness.

“The tea is fragrant, and the person even more beautiful.

I’ll come for tea again when I’m free.

If you feel lonely swimming alone someday, I wouldn’t mind coming here to swim with you.”

As Lin Fei finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and drained the tea from the Purple Sand Pot through the spout, having talked with Xue Mei for so long, he was indeed thirsty.

Pfft!

Though Xue Mei hesitated to come out of the pool while nude, it didn’t stop her from splashing water at Lin Fei.

However, Lin Fei was a step ahead.

The water Xue Mei splashed had not even left the pool when Lin Fei turned and left her mansion.

…

“So, you mean to say you’ve been in the surveillance room the whole time, and there were no irregularities on the monitor?”

Inside the surveillance room of Rose Manor, Xue Mei, now dressed in a light gauze dress, stared intently at the surveillance footage.

The woman, now less seductive and more coldly beautiful, was clearly not in a good mood.

Xue Mei’s sudden appearance had already put significant psychological pressure on the two Thorny Rose members on duty.

Their cold demeanor only added to the pressure, making the duo hardly dare to breathe.

Upon hearing Xue Mei’s question, the two hurriedly nodded and said, “Chairman, we’ve been watching the monitor the whole time, and the display showed no abnormalities.”

Xue Mei watched the surveillance footage multiple times but couldn’t spot Lin Fei.

If it weren’t for the torn rose-patterned swimsuit and the premium pre-rain Longjing tea that were clearly reminding her, she would have thought she was hallucinating due to recent stress.

“Chairman, could someone have broken into the manor?”

Lili, accompanying Xue Mei to the surveillance room, couldn’t help but ask aloud.

“How could that be?

I just feel something, always feeling like someone is spying around the villa.

Since the monitor shows nothing, it seems I was just being paranoid.”

Xue Mei naturally wouldn’t voluntarily disclose Lin Fei’s information.

Since everything had already happened, saying anything more was meaningless.

Instead, it would only deepen the anxiety of the Thorny Rose members residing in Rose Manor.

Although Lili still had doubts, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask Xue Mei too many questions in front of the monitoring personnel.

At that moment, Lili followed Xue Mei out of the surveillance room, leaving behind two monitors with their backs drenched in cold sweat.

After leaving the surveillance room, Xue Mei turned around and returned to the villa and had Lili call the people responsible for the perimeter security of Rose Manor to her villa for a detailed inquiry.

Still unable to obtain the information she wanted, Xue Mei suppressed the frustration in her heart and waved her hand to dismiss them.

“Lili, gather all the intelligence on Lin Fei for me.

I want the most detailed report.”

Hearing the hidden anger in Xue Mei’s words, Lili did not dare to delay and quickly bowed and left.

Shortly after, Lili returned to the villa with all the data on Lin Fei that the Thorny Rose members had collected and laid it all out in front of Xue Mei.

There were two photos of Lin Fei.

However, aside from these two photos, the information sheets about Lin Fei’s background that Xue Mei was holding were almost identical to those Chen Qi had obtained through the public security system.

“Is this all?”

Xue Mei held the photos of Lin Fei, her beautiful eyes slightly glinting with a cold light.

Lili lowered her head and replied, “That’s all there is.”

These pieces of information about Lin Fei had been discussed by Lili with Xue Mei before.

It was after hearing Lili’s recount that Xue Mei had sent out Qiao Hui and others to probe Lin Fei.

“Tell the Eagle and Sparrow groups that I want the most detailed information on Lin Fei laid out in front of me within 24 hours.

If the time comes and I haven’t seen the information I desire, tell them not to bother coming back.”

Xue Mei’s words frightened Lili, who hadn’t heard Xue Mei give such orders to her subordinates in a long time.

The Eagle and Sparrow groups were the two major intelligence organizations of Thorny Rose, with the former primarily consisting of males and the latter of females.

It could be said that these two organizations were Xue Mei’s left and right arms, or more aptly, her eyes and ears.

Now, to obtain detailed intelligence on Lin Fei, Xue Mei even sternly ordered the two organizations, something completely unprecedented.

“Chairman, won’t this be—”

“Tell them, I only wait for them for 24 hours.”

Lili, having been by her side for many years, Xue Mei naturally knew what Lili wanted to say, but at this moment, Xue Mei was clearly not in the mood to listen.

In the heart of Rose Manor, the headquarters of Thorny Rose, she, Xue Mei, as the Chairman of Thorny Rose, had been stripped bare by Lin Fei.

And such a matter couldn’t even be mentioned to others, not even to Lili, who was closest to her.

It was a burning anger that could not be voiced, and Xue Mei couldn’t remember the last time she had encountered such a situation.

It was too humiliating.

Xue Mei didn’t even want to recall the scene by the pool.

This insult, how could Xue Mei tolerate it?

Naturally, she had to find Lin Fei and settle the score.

…

Leaving Rose Manor, Lin Fei was naturally unaware that his impulsive act of retribution had provoked Xue Mei, this enchanting and seductive beauty, to dispatch two major intelligence agencies to gather information about him.

Had Lin Fei still been in Rose Manor and seen Xue Mei’s series of reactions and actions, he would probably have scornfully asked, “Was it necessary, just for looking at you twice?”

It was fortunate that Lin Fei had abandoned that idea in time; otherwise, the forces that Xue Mei would have deployed might have been more than just two intelligence organizations.

Upon leaving Rose Manor, Lin Fei checked his watch and noticed it was almost time to get off work.

Thinking of hitching a ride home with Shanshan, he headed straight to the Moongaze Building where Mu Group was located.

Just as he arrived at Moongaze Building and before he could take the elevator, Lin Fei’s phone received a text message.

Three question marks clearly showed Shen Peini’s eagerness.

While thinking about it, Lin Fei walked into the General Affairs Department’s office area, planning to find Shen Peini, that beauty, to discuss the arrangements for the evening and ideally secure a hotel, but he was stopped by Weiwei.

“Lin Fei, come to my office for a moment.” The woman’s voice was very calm, betraying no emotion.

Was this an unexpected encounter like Cheng Yaojin?

Recalling the deceptive relationship between Weiwei and Shen Peini behind their polite facades, Lin Fei found it amusing.

However, he still walked toward the woman’s office.

When a beautiful minister summons, who could resist responding?
