Her face showed an expression of shame and anger: "I want to kill you, I will definitely kill you!"

Ling Feng pinched Tina's face and said coldly, "Kill me? Didn't you all plan to trap me from the start, so you could use it to humiliate Jenny? Since that's the case, why should I be polite to you?"

Saying that, Ling Feng pulled out his phone from his pocket, showing that it was in the middle of a call. He pressed a button and said, "Jenny, you should have heard everything, right?"

Tina's face showed a trace of panic: "You... When did you turn on the phone?"

Ling Feng smiled slightly: "Just when you were preparing to seduce me. This world is too dangerous; I have to be cautious!"

From the phone, Jenny's voice came through: "Tina, I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect that, to deal with me, you were even willing to sacrifice yourself. Quite impressive, it seems you've truly mastered the saying: 'Throw away your dignity, and you're invincible!' Don't worry, I will entertain you properly… Hopefully, you won't be too fragile, otherwise, there'd be no sense of accomplishment in playing with you!"

Upon hearing Jenny's voice, Tina's body couldn't help but tremble. As the first heir of the Johnson Family, the power and resources Jenny had at her disposal were far superior to Tina's. In other words, if it came down to a real confrontation, Tina would be utterly destroyed without a trace.

Tina hated Jenny. Both of them were aristocratic ladies, yet Jenny had become the family's top heir and was universally praised as a remarkable woman, while Tina's only fate was to end up as a pawn in a family marriage alliance!

To Tina, Jenny inspired both jealousy and admiration. Precisely because of this jealousy, Tina and those behind her decided to set up Ling Feng. Once they caught incriminating "evidence" against him, they would have a legitimate excuse to attack Jenny, since Ling Feng was Jenny's associate.

But Tina never imagined that Ling Feng had seen through their plan from the very beginning and had turned their scheme against them, exposing their conspiracy right under Jenny's nose.

Now Tina was utterly terrified. She was merely from a lesser aristocratic background and had no comparison to the Johnson Family. If Jenny decided to retaliate against her, she wouldn't stand a chance. Moreover, if her family discovered she had schemed against Jenny, they might even expel her from the family!

A weakling trying to plot against a strong opponent must be prepared to face the consequences of failure!

"Oh, right, I remember you own a cosmetics brand, don't you?" Jenny's voice continued. "Well, you don't need to stress over managing it anymore—just moments ago, it officially went bankrupt!"

Tina froze. She didn't bother covering herself; she grabbed her phone with both hands in panic and shouted desperately, "No! You can't do this, how could you do this..."

But the line on the phone went dead—Jenny had already hung up, leaving Tina distraught and broken.

Ling Feng took the phone from Tina's hand, then tilted his head: "Alright, your companions are almost here. If you're not into exhibitionism, I suggest you find a place to hide."

Having said that, Ling Feng's figure paused before leaping over the manor's high wall, and he disappeared from sight.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached as Tina snapped back to reality. She screamed loudly, "Stay away! Don't come near me!"

But the companions outside thought she was talking about Ling Feng, and they quickened their pace, shouting angrily, "Stop right there, you criminal..."

When they rushed in, their eyes nearly popped out of their heads. Tina was crouched on the ground, completely naked, while the instigator had completely vanished.

"Tina, what happened to you?" Those people rushed forward and quickly draped a coat over Tina. "Did someone bully you? Where's that Eastern monkey? Where is he?"

Tina clutched the coat tightly, her vacant eyes scanning the people around her. Wordlessly, she shook her head and then staggered away like a walking corpse.

"What on earth happened?" The others looked at each other in confusion. This didn't match the plan at all.

As Ling Feng landed outside the high wall, a sardonic voice greeted him: "Young man, you do have quite a ruthless streak. Don't you know how to cherish delicacy?"

A middle-aged man stood before Ling Feng, smiling meaningfully. It was clear that the man had witnessed everything that had transpired in the garden.

"How powerful!" Ling Feng felt a fleeting hint of apprehension. If the middle-aged man hadn't spoken, Ling Feng might not have even noticed his presence.

"Oh? Since you're someone who cherishes delicacy, why not go console her? Who knows, you might reap some unexpected rewards!" Ling Feng smiled slyly and added, "That woman does have a good figure!"

The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter: "I have no interest in her. Those who do evil will meet their demise! On the contrary, I find myself intrigued by you."

Ling Feng took a step back, vigilant as he watched the man: "Uncle, you look like a refined gentleman. Why tread the doomed path of Brokeback Mountain? How about I introduce you to some girls? Pure and lively ones that'll give you a euphoric thrill—how about it?"

The middle-aged man flushed with anger and roared, "What nonsense are you spouting, kid! I'm a proper man—I like women! Look at me, so masculine—how could you think I have anything to do with Brokeback Mountain?"

Ling Feng sneered. "Appearances can be deceiving. How am I supposed to know? If you aren't about Brokeback Mountain, why would you be interested in a man?"

"I said interest, not *that* kind of interest!" The middle-aged man retorted indignantly. "Why am I even explaining this to you? You're quite adept at deflecting topics! Just like Jenny, that little rascal, bringing you along. Hey, kid, what's your name?"

Ling Feng answered coolly: "Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? That's basic etiquette in social interactions, Uncle!"

The middle-aged man found Ling Feng increasingly amusing. Extending his hand, he introduced himself: "Alright, I'll go first. My name is Bill. So, what's your name, young man?"

Bill? Such a mundane name. Ling Feng reached out and shook Bill's hand, replying, "Ling Feng, from Huaxia."

"Ling Feng? You're from Huaxia too?" Bill expressed interest. "I've heard that Huaxia has developed rapidly over the past decade—I've always wanted to visit, but never had the chance. By the way, Liu Yuntian is also from Huaxia—do you know him?"

Ling Feng's lips curled slightly: "Bill, Uncle, isn't this the wrong place for a chat?"

"Haha, alright then, Ling Feng. Are you interested in grabbing a drink with me?" Bill asked cheerfully.
