Sixty-eight stars

It was quiet outside. Realizing that the car over there had stopped, Lin Tang stood up in confusion to check the situation outside.

Not long after she got off the car, Yu Jingming took the initiative to walk over to her and said, "The person has been arrested. I need your cooperation to go back to the police station to give a statement."

Lin Tang hummed, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed Feng Chibai approaching, so he said, "Would you allow me to accompany him to treat his wound first?"

Yu Jingming nodded.

After the two found a nearby clinic to bandage their wounds, they went to the police station together.

The two kidnappers had been questioned nearly as needed. After the police had briefly asked Lin Tang a few questions, Yu Jingming arrived to inform her that the group attempting to kidnap her were involved in the underworld, with a long history of financial ties to Country M. They had shared a plane with them to Country M last time to conduct a new round of business, but unexpectedly, they had encountered an accident on the way back, and among the victims was the leader's son. Furious, they had arbitrarily blamed Lin Tang for the accident, specifically intending to abduct and torture him to vent their anger.

In fact, even if they knew clearly that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Tang, even if they could vaguely perceive the hidden story behind the accident, they would still point the finger at Lin Tang.

This is how the world is. People feel angry, but they dare not vent their anger on those who are rich, powerful and superior to them, so they can only take revenge on those who are weaker than themselves.

Yu Jingming said to her, "Don't worry, the police have already sent people to arrest the mastermind of the plot. I hope you weren't scared."

Lin Tang lowered his eyes and shook his head.

Yu Jingming sighed and said, "There's nothing else to do. Go back and rest early."

Back home.

When the sound of a door closing was heard behind him, Lin Tang turned around and his eyes met Feng Chibai's.

Her eyes trembled, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch his wound, but she didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting him.

Suddenly, she took a step closer and hugged him, her shoulders shaking.

Feng Chibai was stunned for a moment, lowering his eyes to look at her, and hesitantly placed his palm on her back. Knowing that she was worried about him, he whispered, "This is my own choice."

Lin Tang choked up and hummed: "I just want to stay with you for a while."

Feng Chibai rested his chin on her head, his fingertips rubbing into her hair. He had heard her conversation with Yu Jingming, but now he asked uncertainly, "Are you really not scared?"

Lin Tang still shook his head in denial.

Feng Chibai smiled softly: "We are indeed brave and strong."

Lin Tang closed her eyes but didn't let go of her hand. She laughed, "Feng Chibai, you're not bad either. You're really brave."

"Really?" Feng Chibai paused, "Then it seems that we are very compatible."

*

The police were very efficient and arrested the mastermind of the kidnapping within a week. Because there was a black industry chain linked to him, after a thorough investigation, all the people involved were arrested.

The old man only learned about this after the news was released. He was immediately furious, especially after learning that Lin Tang and Feng Chibai were both injured. He spent a lot of money to make them pay the price.

Outside the institute.

Feng Chibai had already been standing there waiting.

Due to this emergency, the institute has strengthened its security system. All side doors are now closed, leaving only the main entrance open for entry. At the same time, the main door lock has been replaced with a facial recognition system, preventing anyone other than those working at the institute from entering.

Despite this, Feng Chibai was still worried, so he would arrive outside the institute more than ten minutes early these days, even if he had to wait for a long time.

But fortunately, during this period, Lin Tang would not stay in the office for long after get off work.

Inside the car.

After fastening her seat belt, Feng Chibai suddenly looked at her and said, "Smile, or people will say I bullied you."

Lin Tang forced a smile, but it only lasted a moment. She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and said, "Don't worry. If anyone says that, I'll be the first to defend you."

Feng Chibai just wanted to tease her because she was in a bad mood: "Really? I'm more afraid that you will be the first to add fuel to the fire."

Lin Tang slowly opened his eyes, glanced sideways and raised his eyebrows: "Am I that bad?"

Feng Chibai smiled and said, "I was just imagining things."

The car was heading towards the old house. Because of the series of accidents and the fact that he hadn't seen the two people for many days, the old man insisted on asking them to go back for a meal, so that he could at least take a look at them and feel at ease.

Fortunately, Feng Chibai's wound had already scabbed over, the gauze was removed, and her long hair half covered the wound, which well concealed the location of the wound.

Even though they usually fought among themselves, they would still choose to stand together against the outside world at this time. After all, it had already been revealed online that Lin Tang was Feng Chibai's wife. Under such circumstances, they still dared to carry out the kidnapping in such a blatant manner, which was a disrespect to the Feng family.

At the dinner table, Xu Jianyun feigned concern and said, "I don't know who this bastard is. He even dares to bully someone from our Feng family. He's really asking for his life!"

No matter what, Feng Chibai was still his son, Feng Junming. His son was injured. No matter how unhappy they were before, he still cared about him and asked, "He really deserved it. Xiao Chi, is he seriously injured?"

Feng Chibai nodded politely and said, "Don't worry, it was just an accidental bump, I wasn't beaten."

They didn't know the specific circumstances of that day, they only knew that he was injured and thought he was hit by a weapon during the fight with the kidnappers.

The old man glanced at the two of them, sighed, and said, "As long as everything is fine, it's fine."

From beginning to end, Lin Tang remained sullen and silent.

After all, his injury was caused by saving her. Knowing that she felt bad, Feng Chibai put a piece of meat in her bowl and said softly, "Don't be dazed. You can't have a midnight snack if you're hungry."

The old man also noticed it and slowed down his tone. "Xiao Tang, you don't have to blame yourself too much. It's okay for a man to get hurt. Besides, protecting his wife is a husband's duty."

Not wanting to worry them, Lin Tang forced a smile and said, "I'm not blaming myself. I was just thinking about work."

After the meal ended peacefully, Feng Chibai was called to the study by the old man.

Everyone thought the old man was going to ask about the day's events, and even he thought so. But the moment he closed the door, he suddenly heard a voice: "There's less than two weeks left. What do you want Grandpa to choose?"

The moment he turned around, his gaze lingered on her, inquiring. Feng Chibai was stunned for a moment, then replied politely, "Everything is subject to Grandpa's decision. I have no right to interfere."

"You have no right to interfere?" The old man suddenly smiled, but it wasn't harsh. "From the beginning to the end, haven't you been interfering?"

Trying to do something to achieve the final result.

He is old now, but he has fought his way through when he was young. He has seen all kinds of storms and can still see through some tricks.

"There are some things that Grandpa knows are false." He looked at Feng Chibai with a smile, but he was not angry.

Feng Chibai's heart tightened, and she instantly understood what he meant. Just as she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, she heard him say with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to put in so much effort; it will be yours. It's because the old woman likes you so much. But it seems this is the right decision."

Anyone who could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Feng family must be meticulous and calm. Although Feng Siru was capable, she had been with him for a long time and knew clearly what kind of person his granddaughter was.

He didn't want to see the Feng family constantly caught up in internal strife, so he could only hand it over to someone he trusted the most.

Feng Chibai's pupils widened slightly, as if he hadn't expected the old man to speak so bluntly. After calming down for a moment, he suddenly understood the origin of the Feng family's rules.

Although the memory is a bit old, I vaguely remember that it was made after Feng Junming was found to have cheated on her. At that time, Feng Junming and Xu Jianyun met in a bar, and one drunken night, the two had sex in a chaotic manner.

Later, perhaps the remaining excitement from that time continued to stimulate him, and the two of them continued to make mistakes, which made things out of control.

The old man is a sentimental man, and Feng Junming is his son. He feels sorry for Bai Ruotong because his son did such a bad thing.

So, the old man began to stipulate that everyone should not stay out overnight and should not drink alcohol unless it was an important occasion. He had to ensure that everyone's whereabouts were under his control. At least, such a thing would not happen again.

It can be said that the old man was giving him and his mother an explanation invisibly.

Although, this explanation came a little late.

His eyelashes trembled. Knowing he had a sure win, he wasn't particularly happy. Hot breath rolled in his throat, and he parted his lips slightly: "But Grandpa, I want this to come true."

Knowing that the old man knew the truth of the matter from the beginning but did not expose it from the beginning, he suddenly dared to confess everything.

The old man smiled and said, "Hoping alone is useless. What will you do?"

Feng Chibai asked in confusion, "What do you think is the most effective way to do it?"

"Grandpa is a generation apart from you. The methods he used when he was young are no longer effective now." The old man leaned back in his chair, one hand still on his crutch. He suddenly stood up and moved closer to him, reminding him, "But doing nothing is the most useless thing."

Feng Chibai was silent. After a long while, he replied in a low voice, "I understand."

When he left the study, the thing he had been most concerned about had come to fruition. But that also meant that another matter was beginning to loom large on him.

He should have been happy to have been named the heir, but now, he suddenly felt less hopeful.

Back in the room, Lin Tang was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she subconsciously looked over. Seeing that it was Feng Chibai coming in, she put down her book, took the initiative to walk towards him and asked, "What did grandpa say to you?"

She was worried that the old man would blame him for being too impulsive and that he would scold him.

But Feng Chibai just said, "We just chatted about work."

Lin Tang said "oh" thoughtfully, took his hand and asked him to sit down on the sofa.

Although his wound has scabbed over, he still needs to continue applying the medicine to avoid scarring in the future.

She took out a cotton swab, dipped it in the solution, and gently brushed aside his hair. Even her voice was soft: "Remember to tell me if it hurts you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Feng Chibai hiss.

Lin Tang frowned in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case. I didn't even use any strength."

Feng Chibai curled his lips: "Yeah, just a joke."

Lin Tang gritted his teeth, but still didn't use much force. He just muttered a little dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for the fact that you were... injured, I would have really used more force."

Feng Chibai raised his eyes, met her gaze, and said with a twitching smile, "Sui Sui is so cruel."

He stared at her intently, his eyes tinged with loneliness, making her feel inexplicably guilty, as if she had actually done something inhumane to him. Lin Tang was flustered for a moment, and he said hesitantly, "I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt you."

She tried to avoid his sight, and after absentmindedly giving him the medicine, she put the things into the medicine box and planned to put it back where it belonged.

Just as she leaned over, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist, and she followed the force and took a step closer to him. The next second, a force neither light nor heavy pressed against her abdomen, and a voice echoed from the room: "Leave it alone for a while, I'll lean on you for a while."

Or perhaps because he felt that his sudden action was too inappropriate, he added: "You took advantage of me a few days ago, and I have to get it back."

"Begging?" Lin Tang's voice rose uncontrollably, as if he had heard something funny. "You capitalists really don't want to take any losses at all."

"No, you are so generous to Zhao Yingxun, but so stingy to me." Thinking of how he had previously invested millions in Zhao Yingxun's projects, she immediately refuted her own words.

Feng Chibai didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He smiled softly and said, "Invest according to the symptoms and charge according to the principal."

Lin Tang lowered his eyes to look at the back of his head and said softly, "Forget it, I can't beat you."
