Lin Tingfeng's doctor and lawyer exchanged glances, then nodded solemnly. His lawyer said respectfully to Lin Tingfeng, "Mr. Lin, it seems someone is trying to assassinate you."

Lin Tingfeng nodded slowly, recalling the undercurrents of the past, his mood somber. What was bound to happen would happen eventually; he had been waiting for this day, but it had come sooner than he had expected.

He waved his hand and said wearily to them, "Attorney Jiang, please stay. The rest of you can go back for now. Oh, and Uncle Li, ask Aunt Zhang to bring me food, and also hire a caregiver for me."

The others accepted the order and left.

Only Lin Tingfeng and his private lawyer remained in the ward, which was as silent as a valley.

Attorney Jiang has worked with him for over a decade and is a very trustworthy partner.

Lin Tingfeng looked into the distance and said softly, "I suspect someone. She might have returned." His voice was hoarse, as if he had suddenly contracted a serious throat ailment.

Attorney Jiang froze, slowly raising his head. His lips trembled as if they were filled with scalding hot oil, his face filled with fear and disbelief. He said to Lin Tingfeng, "Mr. Lin, if it really is her, then I'm afraid we're in trouble."

Lin Tingfeng nodded slightly, glanced at his private lawyer's solemn expression, and knew that things were complicated. He turned his face away and looked at the hospital garden outside the window, and said slowly, "Because there aren't many people in this world who want me dead, and she is the one who wants me dead the most."

Attorney Jiang nodded and sighed.

Lin Tingfeng then slowly and methodically analyzed, "Besides, my father is dying; he could die at any moment. She probably heard rumors and returned to China, hoping to get her share from my father."

Attorney Jiang looked at Lin Tingfeng and remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking, "Should I have someone follow Miss Lin?"

Lin Tingfeng's heart stirred, and he turned his face away to look at Attorney Jiang.

Attorney Jiang looked around to make sure no one was listening before lowering her voice and saying, "If she goes back to China, she'll definitely go looking for Miss San."

Lin Tingfeng nodded, and Attorney Jiang smiled and said softly to him, "Then I'll take care of it right away."

Lin Tingfeng nodded slightly. Attorney Jiang had finished her phone call and business. Seeing Lin Tingfeng's still serious expression, she asked to ease the tension, "When I came in just now, I saw a pretty young woman. Who was she—"

A smile appeared on Lin Tingfeng's previously gloomy face, as bright as sunshine. He looked at Attorney Jiang, his mood improving, and said to him, "Last night, I was driving home alone when I found someone lying on the road. I wanted to kindly move him to the side of the road to prevent him from being run over by a car, but as soon as I got out, several people rushed up to me. It was clear that I had been ambushed."

Hearing this, Attorney Jiang clenched her fists and said angrily, "She's so vicious! And rightly so, if she kills you, there's no need to fight the case; all the old man's property will be hers!"

Lin Tingfeng smiled slightly and slowly said, "I was stabbed and fell to the side of the road. I had no strength at the time, and blood was flowing from my chest. I was lying face down and didn't even have the strength to turn over. The people who harmed me ran away. A storm started, and the ground quickly became flooded. I tried to turn over, but my whole body felt like cotton, soft and limp, and I had no strength at all."

Attorney Jiang grew increasingly nervous as he listened. His eyes widened, and he said softly, "That was really close. What happened next—"

Lin Tingfeng was no longer as terrified as before. He said calmly, "Later, I thought I was going to die today. Even if I didn't bleed to death, I would drown in the city's floodwaters. Just then, that girl passed by and saved me. From the time I collapsed unconscious on the ground until she appeared, three groups of people passed by, but no one helped me up. The world is so cold-hearted. There are so few warm-hearted girls like her—"

Lin Tingfeng was deeply moved, and then he laughed. The smile on his handsome face was as bright as the sunlight on the edge of dark clouds.

Attorney Jiang nodded. In all the years of cooperation, he had rarely seen President Lin smile so happily. He asked with a smile, "This girl is really good. How does President Lin plan to thank her?"

Lin Tingfeng smiled and said slowly, "She doesn't need my thanks."

Attorney Jiang nodded again and praised, "It's rare to find someone who remembers kindness. By the way, Mr. Lin, should we inform your wife to return to China?"

Lin Tingfeng felt a chill in his heart, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He said to Attorney Jiang, "There's no need to notify her. If she really cares about me, she'll know even if you don't notify her."

Attorney Jiang fell silent, and Lin Tingfeng was also lost in his own thoughts. He waved his hand and said to Attorney Jiang, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll let you know if I need anything."

Attorney Jiang agreed and left.

Ye Wenyu returned to school for classes, and then went to work after class. She did this every day for the next few days, worrying about Lin Tingfeng's injuries, but forcing herself not to go to the hospital to see him.

That day, she was having class in a large classroom when the once quiet classroom suddenly erupted into a commotion, like a swarm of bees buzzing around. Curious, she looked up and saw that most of her classmates, ignoring the teacher lecturing at the front, had turned their heads to the back of the classroom. The teacher on the podium had a long face and looked very angry.

Ye Wenyu, being young, looked back with great curiosity. What she saw startled her. It turned out that Jiang Zhiming had brought Lin Tingyue to class! Moreover, they arrived five or six minutes after the bell rang and the teacher had officially started the lesson, causing quite a stir.

In addition, Lin Tingyue was as beautiful as a female movie star. Today, she was wearing a purple gauze dress, which made her skin look as white as snow and her hair as black as lacquer, attracting all the boys to look at her.

Jiang Zhiming felt a mix of pride and embarrassment. He was proud because his girlfriend was so beautiful, which made him look good. He was embarrassed because he hadn't expected his lateness, combined with Lin Tingyue's beauty, to cause such a sensation.

His handsome face flushed slightly.

The teacher on the podium, suppressing his anger, spoke: "Students who are late, if you are late next time, don't come into the classroom. It seriously disrupts class discipline!"

Jiang Zhiming blushed and tried to stand up and walk out of the classroom, but Lin Tingyue stopped him from standing up. She stood up, smiled brightly at the teacher, and said sweetly in a melodious voice, "I'm sorry, teacher, I wasn't feeling well, so I'm late. I'll be more careful next time."

Everyone likes beautiful people and things. Upon hearing Lin Tingyue's explanation, the male teacher on the stage immediately turned his anger into joy and said with a smile, "Alright, sit down and listen attentively to the lesson. Pay attention next time."

The storm has just passed.
