As he slept, his expression was gentle, perhaps he was having a sweet dream, and a tender smile played at the corners of his lips, making it impossible for Lin Jieyu to look away...
She stared blankly, her reason telling her to leave immediately, but her feet wouldn't budge.
Xu Neng dreamt of Wang Feifei. She was wrapped in a bath towel and nestled in his arms, letting the towel slip off layer by layer. She looked at him charmingly, like a ripe peach...
Xu Neng groaned, the urge in his body bringing him back to his senses.
This sound reached Lin Jieyu's ears, and her heart pounded faster and faster, her breathing became heavier and heavier...
Xu sensed something was wrong and slowly opened his eyes.
In the darkness, I seemed to see Wang Feifei's figure standing by the bed.
He was overjoyed, his mind instantly clearing, and he sat bolt upright, murmuring, "Feifei..."
He grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled her towards himself.
When Lin Jieyu first made physical contact with Xu Neng, he pulled her forcefully, and her mind went blank.
The intense heat emanating from Xu Neng rushed towards Lin Jieyu, causing her to tremble uncontrollably...
However, the moment Xu Neng saw the face clearly, his eyes turned icy cold.
He immediately released her hand and grabbed her by the neck!
Lin Jieyu was so frightened that she kept backing away, but Xu Neng pinched her hard until she was forced against the wall.
She was out of breath, her mouth agape, and instinctively grabbed Xu Neng's wrist, pulling hard.
But the pressure on my neck kept increasing...
Xu Neng before her was like a beast pouncing on its prey; she even felt like she was on the verge of death…
Just as she was about to suffocate, Xu released her.
Xu Neng suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice:
"Who sent you to kill me?"
Having survived Chen Nian's assassination attempt, Xu Neng's first instinct regarding this woman of unknown origin was that she was there to kill him.
Lin Jieyu was choked until tears streamed down her face. Although she had just regained her breathing, she still coughed uncontrollably and slumped against the wall.
"Cough...cough...no...no...it's not!"
Hearing that Xu Neng had misunderstood her, she disregarded her sore throat and hurriedly explained:
"I didn't come here to kill you... cough cough..."
"I just...wanted to see...you..."
Xu Neng glanced at her disdainfully, and recalling her actions over the past few days, he understood everything.
He said in a deep voice, "Get up. Don't cross the line again next time, or I'll consider sending you back."
Having just escaped death, Lin Jieyu stared intently at Xu Neng, only to see that his anger had subsided and his eyes were no longer as cold as before.
Lin Jieyu lowered her head and humbly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I will definitely remember this and won't do it again."
This was the first time Xu Neng had ever seen such a humble woman. He carefully observed her and realized that she didn't seem to be cunning or manipulative. Perhaps the truth was as she said...
Feeling a pang of guilt for nearly strangling her, Xu Neng softened his voice and decided to give her one last reminder:
"I have someone I like, so I need to keep my feelings to myself so I can live a long life."
The person you like? Is it that "Feifei"?
Xu Neng's blunt rejection left Lin Jieyu feeling uneasy. She had already hidden her love so humbly, and if he were willing, she could be even more humble.
Now that things have come to this point, she was afraid she would regret it later if she didn't try. Her voice was a little hoarse, but she still asked:
"Commander Xu..."
"Can I see you occasionally and take care of you? I don't expect anything else, I'll just stay here quietly."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Neng with anticipation.
She shouldn't be rejected this way; she doesn't ask for a response, she only asks to give.
Xu Neng had no patience to argue any further and said sternly:
"I told you, don't cross the line. If there's a next time, the consequences will be unbearable. Remember that."
The light in Lin Jieyu's eyes gradually dimmed. She got up in a daze and left...
Xu Neng hadn't slept well all night because of Lin Jieyu's antics. He checked the time; it was seven in the morning, and he was wide awake.
Unexpectedly, just an hour later, Hu Tianhao sent someone to ask Xu Neng and Gao Changbin to discuss a plan to attack the steel plant.
After Xu Neng and Xiao Gao left, Pan Xin sneaked in. Under Hu Tianhao's orders, she secretly established contact with Lin Jieyu.
Lin Jieyu hadn't slept all night, but then she heard someone knocking on the door. Who could it be?
She hesitated before opening the door, and there stood an extremely beautiful woman, whom she had never seen before.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Pan Xin. I am here on the orders of the leader to say something to you."
Lin Jieyu glanced at her a few times, but still let her in.
"You must be Lin Jieyu, Commander Xu's woman."
"yes."
"I heard you met Commander Xu at the steel mill..."
"Yes, I have spoken to the leader about all of this. If you were one of his people, you would know."
Lin Jieyu didn't want to continue talking to her; the more she talked, the more likely things would go wrong, so she deliberately brushed the question off.
Pan Xin chuckled softly and said slowly:
“You don’t need to be nervous. The leader only asked me to come here for one thing: he wants your help.”
"What kind of help do you need?" Lin Jieyu asked nervously.
"Help me keep an eye on Commander Xu."
Lin Jieyu knew that she would never get a response from Commander Xu, but that didn't mean she would betray him out of love and hate!
Commander Xu rescued her from "hell" and gave her a stable life. She only wanted to give and never thought about receiving anything in return.
What does it matter if Commander Xu doesn't love or like her? She could never betray him!
Lin Jieyu looked coldly at the woman in front of her and asked in a low voice:
"Survey Commander Xu? What if I disagree?"
This clear refusal made Pan Xin look at the girl with new respect. He never expected that she would dare to openly defy the leader at such a young age.
"Well... I'll ask the leader and then give you an answer."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."
Lin Jieyu showed no mercy and ordered them to leave.
Given the situation, there was probably no point in continuing the discussion, so Pan Xin left sheepishly.
Back at the meeting, Hu Tianhao was still in a meeting with them when Pan Xin found an excuse to call Hu Tianhao out midway through the meeting and explain the situation…
Hu Tianhao stared at Pan Xin with eyes as sharp as knives:
"You mean she rejected me?"
"Yes, I feel that she has a close relationship with Commander Xu."
Enraged, Hu Tianhao slapped Pan Xin across the face: "It must be because you failed in your job. I'm giving you three days to turn her against you, or else..."
Since his serious injury, Hu Tianhao has lost his abilities and had long been tired of Pan Xin.
Pan Xin knew very well what the consequences would be if this matter was not handled well, but she didn't care anymore. She had no attachment to this world anyway, so why should she hurt another girl?
She gave Hu Tianhao a beautiful smile, then calmly left...
The original plan was to use the meeting to divert Xu Neng and Gao Changbin before implementing the scheme, but the defection attempt failed!
Hu Tianhao lost interest in the meeting and ended it early.
When Xu Neng returned, he found Lin Jieyu waiting in the living room. Upon seeing Xu Neng, she bowed respectfully from a distance.
"Commander Xu, I have something to report..."
