After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

After listening, Wu Weiqing remained silent for a moment before saying, "I understand. I will try to talk to Feifei. Don't worry, I won't tell her that the information came from you."

Meanwhile, Wu Feifei stared at the computer screen, looking at the documents.

Ye Feng's words resonated deeply within her. She needed to prove herself, to prove that she wasn't just there for show, but that she was capable of doing the job, not just relying on connections.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

"Hello, brother?"

"Feifei, I'm asking you, is it true that you applied to go to the front line to support the Tiancheng Technology case?" Wu Weiqing's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a questioning tone.

Wu Feifei was stunned; she hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly.

"No, brother, what are you talking about?" she replied, feigning composure, but her mind was racing.

Wu Weiqing on the other end of the phone clearly didn't believe her. "Feifei, how long are you going to keep this from me? Are you planning to act first and then inform me later?"

As he said this, his tone became more forceful, tinged with anger.

Wu Feifei's heart skipped a beat; her brother's tone made her uneasy.

"Who told you that, Chen Yiyi?" she asked tentatively.

"I don't need Yiyi to tell me. I know more than just her in the Ministry of State Security." Wu Weiqing sneered. "Tell me honestly, what exactly happened?"

Wu Feifei knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply admitted, "Since you already know, then I won't hide it from you anymore. This was my own decision."

"You made this decision yourself?" Wu Weiqing's tone was full of suspicion. "Feifei, tell me honestly, did you really make this decision yourself, or was someone deliberately trying to put you down?"

Wu Feifei's expression changed, and she immediately thought of Ye Feng.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Wu Weiqing sneered, "I heard that you forced someone named Ye Feng to stay in the action team, and now you want him to go to the front line again. Was that his idea?"

Wu Weiqing's words made Wu Feifei panic. She hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't listen to people's nonsense. This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Ye Feng!"

“Brother, I…” Wu Feifei wanted to continue, but the phone was suddenly hung up.

Wu Feifei's heart sank. She immediately dialed back, but only heard, "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off."

Wu Feifei pushed open the office door and strode towards the elevator.

Her heart was pounding. Her brother's tone made her feel more uneasy than ever before. He must have misunderstood something.

Just then, Chen Yiyi walked towards them, holding a coffee cup in her hand.

"Feifei, where are you going in such a hurry?" Chen Yiyi asked in surprise, looking at her flustered expression.

"Yiyi, did you say something to my brother?" Wu Feifei grabbed Chen Yiyi's arm, her tone urgent.

Chen Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and almost spilled her coffee.

She avoided Wu Feifei's gaze: "I already told your brother that you're going to the front lines to provide support."

Wu Feifei stared at her. "That's all?"

Chen Yiyi swallowed nervously: "That's really all. I didn't mention anything else, let alone Ye Feng."

"Do you think you can fool someone as shrewd as my brother?" Wu Feifei sighed.

How could Chen Yiyi's simple words possibly enrage her brother so much?

He must have guessed something.

Chen Yiyi then realized the seriousness of the problem: "Oh no! What should we do? We have to notify Ye Feng right away!"

She hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Ye Feng's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off." A cold female voice came from the receiver.

Chen Yiyi dialed again, but the result was the same.

Her face turned pale as she looked at Wu Feifei: "Ye Feng isn't answering his phone either; it's switched off."

A bad feeling welled up in Wu Feifei's heart. It was too late to say anything now; she could only go and explain things to her brother first.

"We need to go find my brother right now!"

The two hurriedly ran downstairs and drove straight to the military area.

Wu Feifei gripped the steering wheel tightly, her palms sweating.

She kept replaying her conversation with her brother in her mind, trying to figure out where things went wrong.

Chen Yiyi sat in the passenger seat, looking anxious. She kept dialing Ye Feng's number, but couldn't get through.

With a sudden stop, the car came to a halt at the entrance of the military region.

Wu Feifei and Chen Yiyi jumped out of the car and ran quickly to the guardhouse.

"Hello, is Wu Weiqing here?" Wu Feifei asked anxiously.

The security guard looked up at them and flipped through the register: "Captain Wu left ten minutes ago."

On the other side, Ye Feng carried two large bags of fruit into the ward, where Sun Shangxiang was leaning against the bed reading a book.

"Why did you buy so much fruit? I can't possibly eat it all." Sun Shangxiang put down her book and gave him a reproachful look.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's alright, eating more fruit is good for your health."

He placed the fruit on the bedside table and picked up an apple and a fruit knife.

Ye Feng's movements were fluid and graceful; the apples he peeled were perfectly round and smooth, truly works of art.

Sun Shangxiang was somewhat lost in thought.

She remembered how Lao Liu used to peel apples for her like this, and how happy they were back then.

Her thoughts drifted back to reality. Sun Shangxiang took the apple, took a bite, and said, "It's so sweet."

Ye Feng picked up another apple and started peeling it. "What are you going to do about Lao Liu's matter?"

"What else can we do? We can only take it one step at a time." Sun Shangxiang sighed. "I have a feeling he won't give up easily."

Ye Feng paused in his act of peeling the apple, understanding Sun Shangxiang's concerns.

Old Liu is a man of strong will to hold a grudge, and having suffered such a great loss this time, he certainly won't let it go easily.

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang casually picked up her phone and glanced at it, her expression instantly changing.

Ye Feng noticed her change. "What's wrong?"

Sun Shangxiang's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. "It seems my younger brother has arrived."

"Younger brother?" Ye Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yeah, I just saw he posted a message on his WeChat Moments, the location was the airport." Sun Shangxiang said, then refreshed her Moments, only to find the post was gone. "Strange, where did it go?"

She immediately dialed her younger brother Sun Xiaoshi's number, but the call could not be connected.

Sun Shangxiang felt uneasy.

She recalled Lao Liu's previous actions and felt that things were not so simple.

"I'll call my parents and ask them." Sun Shangxiang dialed her father's number.

After the call connected, Sun Shangxiang exchanged a few brief pleasantries and then asked directly, "Has Xiao Shi been here?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then the father's voice came through: "Yes, our whole family is here to give you a surprise."

Sun Shangxiang's heart sank. Sure enough, things were just as she had thought.

"Who paid for it?" She tried her best to control her emotions.

“My son-in-law, Xiao Liu, said he wanted to give us a surprise and invited us to come and stay for a few days.”

Sun Shangxiang suppressed her anger, "Dad, don't tell Lao Liu that I already know. I'll have someone come and pick you up in a bit."
