Jin Feng was not angry; after all, Zhang Huizhi was the kind of person with a tarnished reputation, and calling her human was an overstatement.
"Dear daughter, I’ve arranged myself in a low-profile position. I made some food for Tong Le, and I’m just waiting for her to return," Jin Feng said.
Jin Zi Meng was surprised. "Mom, this lunch box isn’t for me? I thought it was my work meal."
Jin Zi Meng had set Jin Feng up in a discreet corner of the office, and Jin Feng waited for over two hours before Tong Le finally returned.
Tong Le had come back to the office to handle some urgent matters, and after wrapping things up, she needed to head back to the Mountain Water Villa where Zong Zeyu had arranged for several professionals to inspect the house. She was eager to find out what secrets lay hidden within.
As Tong Le hurried into the main hall and headed toward the office, Jin Feng quickly followed her, trying to be discreet and light on her feet.
Tong Le noticed Jin Feng, and Jin Zi Meng rushed over from her workstation to make a brief introduction.
Tong Le was not surprised; from the first day she had brought Jin Zi Meng on board, she had anticipated that she would eventually meet Jin Feng.
Tong Le led Jin Feng to the conference room, where Jin Zi Meng proactively brought in tea and waited at the side.
Jin Feng pushed the insulated lunch box toward Tong Le and said, "I made honey-glazed chicken wings myself. The marinade is my own recipe. Zi Meng loves them, and I figured you young people would enjoy them too."
Jin Zi Meng chimed in with a smile, "Manager Tong, they’re really delicious!"
Tong Le glanced at the lunch box and politely asked, "Is there something you need to discuss with me? I assure you that Zi Meng is performing excellently here; you don’t need to worry."
Jin Feng felt a bit ashamed. "Actually, our relationship is quite awkward. But I’m very grateful to you for not holding our family matters against us. Thank you, Manager Tong."
Tong Le smiled back. "No need to thank me. Zi Meng is already very talented, and I’ve even recommended her to participate in Zong Group's Annual Meeting as a representative for Tongshan Real Estate. She has a great image and demeanor; she’s articulate and a promising candidate."
Tong Le added deliberately, "I’m not one to make unreliable promises, but I can assure you of one thing: as long as Zi Meng maintains her current work attitude, her future will be bright. Tongshan Real Estate is just a stepping stone for her; she will reach greater heights."
Tong Le continued candidly, "You’re here today because you’re worried that family issues might affect Jin Zi Meng’s future, right? Rest assured, it won’t happen. My grievances with Ke Wenjie are no longer personal; they are legal matters."
Jin Feng took a deep breath. After this direct interaction, she was more certain than ever that she needed to side with Tong Le! Previously, she had been determined not to take sides, but now she had changed her mind; she wanted to support Tong Le.
She felt that some intrinsic qualities of Tong Le resonated with her—qualities she had always aspired to but could never achieve herself. It seemed as if Tong Le embodied those aspirations.
Jin Feng surveyed the conference room briefly while Tong Le noticed her unease.
Without hesitation, Tong Le took out her phone and called Jiang Zhichao outside. "Xiang Dai, please turn off the surveillance equipment in the conference room and redirect the cameras."
Soon enough, the camera in the conference room turned toward the wall as the red light went off.
Only then did Jin Feng speak candidly. "Today Zhang Huizhi told me that she wants me to persuade Jin Zi Meng to frame you and get rid of your child. They want you to lose your footing in front of Zong Zeyu. I vaguely mentioned it might be worth trying because I felt pressured and couldn’t refuse; I could only navigate around it."
Jin Feng continued sincerely, "That’s all I wanted to say. I can’t disclose more than that; just consider that I never came here today. Neither Zi Meng nor I will do anything harmful to you. I'm here simply to express my stance: if you end up having an irreversible conflict with the Ke family in the future, it won’t be related to us."
Tong Le felt surprised for the second time today because of Jin Feng. She was momentarily puzzled, unsure whether this person who had come to her was good or bad. However, it seemed that Jin Feng was here to pledge allegiance, though she decided to observe further and remain cautious, speaking little and acting carefully.
Jin Feng stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now. Sorry for the disturbance."
Tong Le accompanied her to the door and then spoke, "With a mother like you, Jin Zi Meng's future will only soar higher."
Jin Feng smiled subtly and replied, "Thank you. I’ll be on my way now."
Meanwhile, at Mountain Water Villa, Zong Zeyu sat on the sofa, watching seven or eight figures moving about restlessly. He occasionally inquired about the progress, asking what was happening.
The professionals equipped with detection devices were checking every corner. The Police Friend relied on years of experience to observe every minute detail. The Feng Shui Master wandered around with a compass in hand. Anyone unaware would think something extraordinary was happening in the house.
After a round of inspections, the Feng Shui Master left, followed by the Police Friend and various other personnel who all retreated, leaving only two professionals responsible for radiation monitoring.
One of the men, Xiang Dai, reported that there were no abnormalities elsewhere in the house except for one wall in the master bedroom. When the detection equipment got close to that wall, the readings spiked and emitted strange noises; it might require breaking down the wall for inspection.
Zong Zeyu stood up from the sofa and approached that wall. Even he found it eerie that the problem lay within a single wall.
Without much thought, Zong Zeyu turned and called out towards the front door, "Is the agent outside?"
Agent Wu, busy making business calls, hurried into the house and walked over to Zong Zeyu's side. "Zong Zong," he said urgently, "you can't just break down that wall! I just heard this professional say so; it definitely shouldn't be recklessly demolished!"
Zong Zeyu shot a cold glance at Xiao Wu and casually replied, "If I buy this house, can I break it down then?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened like saucers as he quickly changed his tone. "Break! Go ahead! As long as it's not a load-bearing wall, you can turn this place into a pyramid if you want!"
Zong Zeyu grew impatient. "Let’s finalize the deal quickly."
He then turned to Xiang Dai and commanded, "Break down the wall."
