The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Then he stood up and said, "Time is a bit tight, so I'll head back now!"

Upon hearing Feng Yi's words, Aunt Qin hurriedly stood up and warmly invited him to stay, saying, "Oh dear, you've only been here a short time. Why don't you stay for dinner?"

Feng Yi smiled and shook his head, politely declining, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Qin, but it's really not necessary. I'll come to visit you with Yiyi next time, and then we can properly enjoy your cooking."

Besides, Tong Yang isn't home right now, and if I, a grown man, stay here for too long, it's bound to cause some unnecessary gossip and trouble."

After speaking, Feng Yi glanced around the room, implying that Hong Xing was in postpartum confinement and needed to rest quietly.

Although Aunt Qin felt that Feng Yi was being a bit too cautious, she also understood the principle that it's better to avoid trouble, after all, public opinion can be a powerful force.

So she nodded to show her understanding and said, "Alright, then Auntie won't insist that you stay. When Tong Yang is resting, be sure to have him bring you over to try my cooking!"

Feng Yi smiled and agreed, then said goodbye to Aunt Qin and Tong Zhenzhen: "Okay, I'll be going now, Aunt Qin, Zhenzhen, goodbye!"

Aunt Qin also raised her innocent little hand and waved goodbye to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi went downstairs and looked at the sunset on the horizon. He couldn't help but wonder where Yi Yi would go? Would she encounter any danger? As he thought about this, he quickly walked out of the alley.

When the older women at the alley entrance saw Feng Yi come out, they greeted him warmly: "Comrade soldier, are you leaving already?"

Feng Yi smiled and nodded in response, "Yes, thank you for your help."

One of the older women said somewhat apologetically, "Soldier, we shouldn't have doubted you just now, we're so sorry!"

Another woman chimed in, "Yes, if we had known you were a soldier, we would have taken you straight to Tong Yang's house!"

Feng Yi quickly waved his hand and said gently, "Aunties, you should do this. After all, protecting yourselves and your families is very important. Don't let strangers in casually; it would be troublesome if you encountered bad people!"

Just then, an older woman asked, "Comrade soldier, why don't you stay for dinner before you leave?"

Feng Yi smiled gratefully and replied, "Thank you for your concern, aunties, but I still have some things to take care of. I'm just here to get acquainted with the place; I'll come with my partner for a formal visit next time."

After saying that, Feng Yi waved goodbye to the aunties, saying, "See you next time, ladies!" Then he turned and left the alley.

Feng Yi's humility and politeness delighted the aunties. Watching his departing figure, they exclaimed, "This soldier is so polite and handsome! Yiyi is such a lucky girl!"

"Yes, if this soldier were still single, I'd even consider introducing him to my niece."

"Don't worry about that. I've met the soldier's girlfriend, and she's a good girl!"

……

Upon seeing Feng Yi, Meng Tang's face lit up with excitement, and he quickly waved and shouted, "Boss, over here!"

Feng Yi strode to the car, opened the door, and got in.

Meng Tang looked at him with curiosity and asked impatiently, "Boss, how did things go? Did it go smoothly?" His eyes were full of concern, as if he was eager to know the result.

However, Feng Yi simply shook his head slightly and remained silent.

Meng Tang's heart sank, a sense of unease washing over him. He anxiously asked, "What happened? Is something wrong?"

Feng Yi gazed silently out the window, his eyes filled with a sense of confusion and deep contemplation.

After a while, he slowly said, "Let's go back to the police station!"

His voice carried a hint of helplessness and exhaustion, as if he had just suffered a heavy blow.

Meng Tang nodded silently and started the car, heading towards the police station.

The atmosphere inside the car was oppressive throughout the journey. Both of them remained silent, and Meng Tang would occasionally steal a glance at Feng Yi, his heart filled with doubt and worry.

When they arrived at the police station, it was getting late, and everyone else had gone home. Only one male police officer on duty remained on the first floor. When he saw Feng Yi walk in, he immediately went to greet him.

"You must be Comrade Feng. Director Ning is waiting for you upstairs!" the male police officer said warmly.

Feng Yi nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then turned and walked towards the second floor, with Meng Tang following closely behind him.

Ning Zheng's office door was wide open, and Feng Yi strode in. He immediately saw Ning Zheng sitting upright in his seat, looking serious, with a letter tightly clutched in his hand.

"Director Ning, you wanted to see me?" Feng Yi's voice carried a hint of doubt.

"Yes, Feng Yi, take a look at this letter before you speak." Ning Zheng said, handing the letter to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi took the letter, carefully unfolded it, and read it word by word.

As time went on, his expression grew increasingly grim, his brows furrowed, and his lips pressed into a thin line.

Finally, he slammed the letter onto the table.

"Director Ning, what is your opinion on this matter?" Feng Yi's tone revealed dissatisfaction and anger.

"Me? This concerns your girlfriend, I dare not make a decision lightly. Let's hear your thoughts first!" Ning Zheng replied calmly.

Just then, Meng Tang walked into the room and overheard Feng Yi's words. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What...what's your opinion? Boss, is there a new mission?"

Feng Yi ignored him, suppressed his anger, and picked up the letter on the table again.

"Director Ning, I need some time to think about it!"

"Think it through first. The other party might just be trying to trick you into going. Don't make a decision lightly!" Ning Zheng advised sincerely.

Feng Yi was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Ning Zheng. "Thank you for your concern, Director Ning. Let me think about it first!"

After Feng Yi finished speaking, before Meng Tang could react, he grabbed his sleeve, pulled him out of the room, and led him to the lounge.

Feng Yi noticed that the lounge, which was locked when he arrived in the morning, was now open, and he had a vague feeling that he had overlooked something.

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly something occurred to him, and his eyes sharpened.

"What's going on? Why is the lounge open? Did someone go in?" Feng Yi muttered to himself.

He went into the lounge and looked around, trying to find some clues.

Meng Tang followed him in, looking at Feng Yi with a puzzled expression: "Brother Feng, what are you looking for?"

Feng Yi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I feel something is wrong. It seems like someone has been in this room."

Meng Tang's mouth dropped open in surprise: "Really? This is our private lounge, there's nothing fancy here..."

Feng Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, but he knew in his heart that this matter might be more complicated than he had imagined.
