Jiang Zong searched the house and finally found the sleeping girl on his own bed.

She was wrapped in the blanket, her long hair spread out on his pillow. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, clearly she wasn't fast asleep.

Jiang Zong tiptoed and gently pulled the curtains he had just opened back shut.

He wanted to pull the blanket up for her, but as soon as he reached out his hand, she grabbed his fingertips.

Jiang Zong: "...!"

The girl's soft little hand enveloped his slightly cool fingertips, which felt very warm.

"Brother...where have you been..."

She closed her eyes, her voice soft and sweet, almost coquettish.

She didn't move an inch while she was talking, but surprisingly, she didn't have any morning grumpiness.

Jiang Zong used his other hand to tuck the blanket around her and whispered, "I'll buy you steamed buns."

"Hmm..." Lin Ting opened her eyes for a moment, more symbolically than practically, "I want to eat."

Jiang Zong asked, "Shall we get up?"

The steamed buns are fresh out of the steamer, so it's perfect to eat them now.

Lin Ting: "I want to sleep."

"Then I'll put the steamed buns in the refrigerator."

"Want to eat."

"Don't sleep anymore?"

"sleepy."

"Eat first or sleep first?"

"……Together?"

Jiang Zong suddenly smiled.

He reached out his finger and poked Lin Ting's fair and tender cheek.

It's soft and smooth, and feels really good... poke it.

Once, twice...

Lin Ting was getting annoyed by the disturbance and suspected that he wanted to tattoo her with his finger, so she turned around and bit him.

Jiang Zong, who could dodge 90% of the attacks during the fight, couldn't dodge Lin Ting's bite.

Disturbed from her sleep, Miss Lin didn't have much strength, only leaving a faint tooth mark on his finger.

Lin Ting was fully awake and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Zong hesitated for two seconds, then nodded: "It hurts."

"Let me see."

Lin Ting fiddled with Jiang Zong's hand, turning it over and over for a long time, and had to admit—

She asked too late.

The teeth marks have all disappeared.

The location of her crime has been lost.

"How about... you stop feeling pain?"

"Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Jiang Zong chuckled and took Lin Ting's hand in return: "Get up."

"Hmm... I do feel more energetic."

Lin Ting pulled him up by the hand, only then remembering to ask the most crucial question:

What kind of filling do the steamed buns have?

"Pork and scallions."

"Let's go, let's go eat."

Lin Ting finished eating two meat buns before she could truly appreciate the beauty of the morning.

She dialed Yang Libo's number, and before she could even speak, he excitedly said, "Boss Lin, I have some good news to tell you, guess what it is?"

Lin Ting asked in disbelief, "You...found Li Jianmin?"

"Huh?" Yang Libo was stunned for a moment. "Young people really do have quick minds. Yes, I have information on Li Jianmin's whereabouts!"

Lin Ting: "...?"

This is news, but it may not be good news.

Her claim that she would find Li Jianmin was purely to counter the Feng family's scheme against her, orchestrated by Jia Yong.

But finding the person is one thing, finding them is another.

If it's not found, then everything remains at the stage of verbal warnings. Both sides have leverage over each other, so neither dares to take action.

Found it... that means it's going to be a life-or-death war.

Lin Ting had no doubt that if news of Li Jianmin falling into her hands reached the capital, the Feng family would definitely push Jia Yong forward.

She didn't want to die together with Feng Yao.

Lin Ting quickly asked, "Who else knows you found him?"

Yang Libo sensed something was off about Lin Ting's tone, but he assumed Lin Ting was worried about how to capture Li Jianmin, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"Don't worry, the news is being kept under wraps." Yang Libo lowered his voice. "The person is alive and well, in a rented room near the Oriental Hotel in Dongguan. They're probably waiting for things to calm down before going to Hong Kong."

Lin Ting was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself that Li Jianmin had really found a good place.

Dongguan is very close to Shenzhen, and at this time it is still a place with a high rate of people falling into trouble. Many business owners from Shenzhen go there.

This place isn't as conspicuous as Shenzhen, but it's exceptionally well-informed.

Li Jianmin chose this place as his temporary residence, which is very suitable.

As for why he didn't choose to flee directly to Hong Kong, it's probably because he wasn't sure about the Fung family's attitude towards him and was afraid of being intercepted halfway.

Lin Ting frowned and thought for a long time before asking, "Is there a way to hide him and his sister for a while?"

The person has been found; leaving him outside is definitely not an option.

Given the current situation, anything could happen.

Yang Libo answered quite readily: "Of course, I have at least nine places to hide him, so many that even a god couldn't find him! Nine!"

Lin Ting nodded gently: "Alright, help me find a place for the brother and sister to hide for a while, don't make things difficult for them."

Yang Libo's eyes darted around, and he nodded repeatedly with a meaningful look: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I understand!"

Lin Ting: "..."

She didn't even dare to think about what Yang Libo actually knew.

She sighed silently and began to speak of her own affairs: "Boss Yang, I have a new young man here. He used to have some connections with the Feng family, so it's not suitable for him to stay with me right now. Could you take care of him for a while?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Libo agreed immediately: "Okay, have him come over. The mine is short of someone in charge, let him come."

"Okay, I'll have him bring the 50,000 yuan to you directly."

"It's just a little money, it doesn't matter."

After exchanging a few pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Lin Ting turned to look at Jiang Zong, his expression indescribable: "Boss Yang is truly a pragmatist; he actually managed to find Li Jianmin."

Lin Ting couldn't fathom how Yang Libo had managed to find the person in such a short time.

Even if you were to exchange messages back and forth by phone, it wouldn't be this fast!

It can only be said that she underestimated Yang Libo's abilities.

Jiang Zong didn't care how Yang Libo found the person; what he cared more about was: "Feng Yao can die now."

Lin Ting wasn't too optimistic, only saying, "We still need to lay the groundwork..."

She shook her head and called Zhang Liang.

“Brother Liang, lend me 50,000 yuan. I’ll have Hammer take it to Boss Yang on his way,” Lin Ting said calmly, “to buy him a train ticket.”

Zhang Liang instantly understood Lin Ting's meaning and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll see which day in the next couple of days when there's a car available, and then I'll have him go."

"Ah."

When Hammer learned that he was to take the train with 50,000 yuan to Yang Libo, he was dumbfounded.

"Brother, isn't the boss trusting me too much?" Hammer was completely bewildered.

Zhang Liang chuckled: "You're overthinking it. The boss is just too lazy to go to the bank."

That's complete nonsense. For Lin Ting, withdrawing large sums of money from the bank is no longer as complicated as it used to be, and remitting money is even simpler.

The main reason she insisted that Hammer bring the cash was undoubtedly to see if the guy was trustworthy; the secondary reason, well…

It's likely that Ms. Lin genuinely didn't want to incur remittance fees.

Hammer swallowed hard, his eyes filled with anxiety: "Brother, there are plenty of train hijackers. What if we lose this?"

Zhang Liang: "You're just unlucky."

Hammer: "..."
