Chapter 199 Cupid's Arrow
Yu Ling and Lin Wei gasped! Such a big deal?!
Like a magic trick, Raymond Lam pulled out a pink keychain with a crooked Shiba Inu doll hanging on it from his suit pocket (a four-dimensional pocket!). It was the one Su Xiao had!
"This device was poorly modified, with a negative signal shielding value. It has been automatically identified by the Guild's firewall and a Trojan has been implanted."
Lin Feng's tone was calm, as if he were reading an instruction manual. "Your phone call records, chat messages, shopping lists (including but not limited to three boxes of snail noodles, a Shiba Inu T-shirt with the words 'Housewrecker' printed on it), and the audio of 'The Lone Hero' you played on repeat 57 times last night, have been automatically backed up to the encrypted server in General Chen's office. This is an initial warning, and no further action will be taken. Your device will be confiscated."
Su Xiao was petrified on the spot, his face turning red and white, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Yu Ling held her forehead, her shoulders shaking from trying to hold back her laughter. "You're asking for death!"
"Is there anything else, ma'am?" Lin Feng turned to Yu Ling, as if he had just dealt with a trivial matter.
"No...it's okay..." Yu Ling waved her hands, her voice trembling.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, turned around and walked away, his steps as precise as if they were measured with a ruler.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, without looking back, his voice still steady:
"Ms. Su Xiao."
Lidya Su shuddered: "What...what are you doing? Are you going to sue me?"
"You played 'The Lone Warrior' on repeat last night," Lin Feng turned his head, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a cold light. "In the chorus, in the third bar, you're off-tune. I recommend using the 'Guild' vocal training app to correct it. I've requested a free trial code for you and will send it to your phone shortly."
After saying that, he opened the door and disappeared.
The office was silent for three seconds.
"Ah——!!! Lin Feng! I can never coexist with you!!!" Su Xiao's scream blew off the roof.
Wutong Garden, Yu family villa.
Lidya Su was having a meal at Yu Ling's parents' house, and he was complaining about Raymond Lam about the crispy cucumbers pickled by Li Xiu Lan.
"Auntie! Please judge! How can there be such a wooden lump in the world! A humanoid Siri! Walking rules and regulations!"
Li Xiulan was delighted to hear this and helped her pick up some food. "Xiao Lin is such a steady kid! You can tell he's reliable at first glance!"
"Reliable?" Su Xiao gritted his teeth, "He's so reliable that he exposed my past! He even said my singing was off-tune!"
"Woof woof!" Wangcai, who was lying under the table, suddenly barked twice, ran to the door with his pure gold dog bowl in his mouth, and his tail wagging like a propeller.
The door opened.
Lin Feng stood at the door, holding an insulated box with the "Wangwang Fresh Food" logo. He was still wearing a black suit, but without a tie, which made him look a little... less like he was attending a funeral.
"Consultant Yu, Aunt Li." Lin Feng nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over Su Xiao who was petrified beside the table, "Boss Chen asked me to send some freshly air-shipped Wagyu beef over. In addition,"
He put down the insulated box, and like magic, he took out another one... a beautifully wrapped gift box tied with a silver ribbon, and handed it to Su Xiao.
Su Xiao looked at him warily: "What is this? A 'guild' penalty notice? A new type of eavesdropping blocker?"
"An apology gift." Lin Feng's voice remained steady. "For my excessive interference in the cafe yesterday, and for the emotional damage caused by my objective comments about your pitch."
Lidya Su took the box suspiciously and opened it.
Inside wasn't anything expensive; it was a pair of the latest, top-of-the-line noise-canceling headphones. The outer shell was matte black, with a stern silhouette of a Shiba Inu laser-etched on the side. Below that was a line of small text: "Listen intently, and the world will be quieter. - FY LF"
FY LF? For You, Su Xiao Lin Feng Su Xiao’s heart moved.
"Boss Chen said," Lin Feng added, "you might need this to block out irrelevant noise when you're researching the Guild's secrets."
Lidya Su's face flushed! This idiot! Even his apology was so sarcastic! He even hinted at her to continue her "research"!
"Who... who wants to study you!" Su Xiao said stubbornly, but his hand honestly touched the cold surface of the headphones.
"One more thing," Lin Feng seemed not to hear her rebuttal, and picked up another thing from the side of the incubator... It looked like an oversized cat toy, but with a furry Shiba Inu doll tied to the top?
"What is this?" Lidya Su was confused.
"According to the 'Plan to Promote the Mental and Physical Health of Guild-Related Personnel,'" Lin Feng said in a businesslike manner, "it is recommended that you increase your outdoor exercise and interaction with cute pets. This is the 'Shiba Inu Interactive Guide Stick (Deluxe Edition),' which has been sterilized. Wangcai," he said, looking at the eagerly-eyed dog under the table, "demonstrate."
Lin Feng shook his wrist, and the stick with the Shiba Inu doll tied to the top drew an attractive arc in the air!
Wangcai Bencai’s DNA has moved!
"Ouch!" It pounced like a flash of yellow lightning! Leaping! Soaring into the air! Grabbing the doll with pinpoint accuracy! Landing! The entire sequence of movements was fluid and smooth. Then, clutching its prize, it triumphantly ran to Su Xiao's feet, rubbing its head against hers, its eyes moist: "Praise me! Praise me now!"
Su Xiao looked at the dog asking for praise at his feet, and then looked at Lin Feng holding the bare stick with a serious expression of "mission accomplished" on his face. The taut string broke with a "snap".
“Pfft…Hahahaha!” She laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back. She pointed at Lin Feng and said, “Assistant Lin! Can you show me some exercises with a dog teaser?! Hahahaha!”
Lin Feng looked at Su Xiao, who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. A crack finally appeared on his icy face, and his ears turned slightly red. He pushed his glasses up, still trying to keep his tone steady: "As long as the method is effective. Do you want to try it?"
Lidya Su wiped the tears from her laughter, took the bare stick, looked at Lin Feng's slightly red ears, and a bold idea came to her mind.
"Try! Of course I'll try!" She rolled her eyes, her smile as sly as a fox's. "But Assistant Lin, it's not enough to just demonstrate. You have to interact with me! Otherwise, how can it be considered 'promoting physical and mental health'?"
She held the stick and suddenly pointed it at Lin Feng: "Wangcai! Go! Bite the tablet in his hand!"
Wangcai looked at Su Xiao, then at Lin Feng, and tilted his head: "Woof?" (Where's the dried meat? The command fee?)
Lin Feng: “…”
Yu Jianbang and Li Xiulan laughed so hard that they couldn't hold their chopsticks.
Lin Feng looked at Su Xiao's bright eyes full of provocation and smile, then looked at Wangcai who was waiting for more meat at his feet, and was silent for three seconds.
Then, under the astonished gazes of Yu Ling's family and Su Xiao, the always meticulous, robotic Special Assistant Lin slowly and unskillfully…opened the tablet in his hand that he always carried with him, which stored countless secrets of the "guild"…
Gently, put it on the ground.
He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Lidya Su. His voice was still steady, but seemed to carry a barely perceptible hint of...helplessness?
"Ms. Su Xiao, according to the new command priority, the 'interactive program' is activated. Objective: seize the tablet. Difficulty: Beginner. Please begin your... guidance."
The golden light of the setting sun shone through the window onto the tiled floor with the tablet, onto Wangcai's eager furry head, onto Su Xiao's slightly open mouth in shock, and onto Lin Feng's icy face, melting it into an almost gentle arc.
Shiba Inu Cupid's arrow may have been shot a little off target.
But it comes with a dog teaser, noise-canceling headphones, and an iceberg assistant who is forced to "start the interactive program."
This outrageous marriage was sealed by the "guild's" bizarre rules.
