Actually, after the autograph session incident, Wei Meizi had intensified protection for Chen Ningxue, and soon after, she and Ling Feng left the scene of the autograph session.

"Meizi, I have something I need you to do!" At the Meizi Club, Ling Feng looked at Wei Meizi and said, "Recently, someone might try to harm me, and I'm worried that they might exploit you guys. So, have the Shadow Group secretly protect you all. The moment you notice anything unusual, notify me immediately!"

Wei Meizi's face grew solemn, "Who exactly are these enemies that have you looking like you're facing a formidable opponent?"

Ling Feng, who had always seemed calm and collected even when previously facing the Taizi Club and United Hearts Gang, now looked unexpectedly serious, as if he had encountered a truly formidable situation.

Ling Feng shook his head, not revealing to Wei Meizi that even he was confused at the moment. He was unclear about the true nature of Hell's Gate, but he knew one thing: an underworld organization that could connect with the Chu Family was definitely not to be underestimated!

After giving his instructions, Ling Feng resisted Wei Meizi's "seduction" with great determination, and left the Meizi Club to return to Chaoyang Group!

"Tsk tsk, that was rather quick!" Yun Hanrui looked at the time on her phone, "Half an hour, and you really came back. Doesn't this mean I have no excuse to punish you?"

Just after finishing his business talk with Wei Meizi, Ling Feng had received a message from Yun Hanrui: "Face the consequences if you're not back in the office within half an hour!!!"

It was these three exclamation marks that made Ling Feng painfully resist Wei Meizi and hurried back nonstop.

"Should I go out and come back in again?" Ling Feng said with a forced smile.

Yun Hanrui snorted coldly, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, if I wanted to punish you, I would have plenty of reasons! Also, I agreed to appoint Wang Ling as vice manager to better assist you in your work, not to give you a chance to slack off! If you continue to fish for three days and dry nets for two days..."

"Then dock my salary!" Ling Feng stated earnestly, "I also feel ashamed. I feel I've let down President Yun's high expectations of me. I've decided to forfeit three months' salary as a deterrent example!"

Looking at Ling Feng's serious demeanor, Yun Hanrui's mouth fell open slightly, seemingly in disbelief!

Salary? Yun Hanrui never intended to pay Ling Feng a salary, did she? This kind of punishment was practically nothing to Ling Feng.

"Forget it, I don't want to bother arguing with you!" Yun Hanrui gestured dismissively, a bit dejected, "I didn't call you back to banter with you. Tomorrow, we have a big client coming to visit our research lab. You take care of arranging the reception!"

"Big client? How big?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

"People from a European pharmaceutical giant!" Yun Hanrui said, "Tomorrow, the heir of Johnson, the Johnson Family will visit, and we can't afford any slip-ups. This is a client I've worked hard to bring in!"

Ling Feng frowned slightly, the Johnson family from the European pharmaceutical giant? Suddenly, something clicked in Ling Feng's mind. When he had been in touch with Aiven, he recalled mentions of Johnson, the Johnson Family's heir entangled with Catherine. He had been too caught up with his own numerous affairs and missions, causing the delay.

"I never expected it, but Chaoyang Group actually has a collaborative relationship with the Johnson Family!" Ling Feng was somewhat astonished, considering the Johnson Family was one of Europe's long-established families with influence spanning the whole continent, beyond what ordinary companies could hope to engage with.

Ling Feng said coolly, "Alright, leave the reception to me! But how many people are coming tomorrow? Which heir of the Johnson Family is it?"

Yun Hanrui said, "There are about ten people, but there is only one official heir of the Johnson Family, and the others are all candidates! The one coming this time is the official heir of the Johnson Family, Joe Johnson!"

Ling Feng, looking somewhat puzzled, said, "If I remember correctly, the Johnson Family has a strong influence in Europe, and they own a giant pharmaceutical company that is also a national conglomerate. How did you get in touch with them?"

Yun Hanrui smiled, "Back when Joe Johnson and I were both graduate students at Stanford University, we were good friends. Unfortunately, after she graduated, she had to return to her country, so we parted ways. I didn't even know until after I graduated that she was the heir to the Johnson Family!"

"So that's how it is!" Ling Feng nodded slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.

In his eyes, Joe Johnson definitely had intentions toward Yun Hanrui, but fortunately, Yun Hanrui had maintained her integrity and wasn't swayed by the foreigner!

"Joe Johnson, huh?" Ling Feng sneered inwardly, "I hadn't gotten around to seeking you out, but you've already come knocking at my door. If I don't host you properly, I'd really be sorry!"

...

After leaving Yun Hanrui's office, Ling Feng thought for a while and then dialed Aiven's number.

"Big brother, you finally called!" Aiven's voice was filled with happiness.

"About that... you mentioned before that the heir of the Johnson Family was bothering Catherine. Is he still pestering her?" Ling Feng whispered, "I've been quite preoccupied recently, but I'll be able to go to Europe in a few days. If he is still bothering her, I'll definitely not let him get away with it!"

There was a hint of strangeness in Aiven's voice, "Big brother… umm... Big sister says you never call her, saying she isn't in your heart. So, big sister is now very close to Joe Johnson... Plus, I heard they are planning to visit a company in Huaxia tomorrow together. Big brother, you should hurry back, otherwise, big sister might..."

"Has she grown bold?" Ling Feng's anger suddenly flared up, "Tell Catherine for me, her man isn't dead yet! As long as I am alive, she is Ling Feng's woman! Not to mention one Johnson Family, even ten of them can't bear my fury!"

After saying that, Ling Feng sighed, "Forget it, don't mention this for now..."

"Why not!" Aiven exclaimed in surprise, "Big brother, are you angry?"

"Of course, I'm angry!" Ling Feng replied irritably, "But the company they are visiting tomorrow is the very company I am at now. I'll see to her properly tomorrow! If you don't manage your woman for three days, you need to straighten the roof tiles—women need to be disciplined properly!"

After finishing this conversation, Ling Feng finally asked, "Aiven, has an organization called Hell's Gate appeared in the Underworld recently?"

"Hell's Gate?" Aiven sounded puzzled, "What kind of organization is that? I haven't heard of it here!"

Ling Feng sighed, "As expected, Hell's Gate is hidden deep enough!"

"It seems I'll have to bite the bullet and ask Long Guangyi, my esteemed master!"
