Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 1493: There is Something Wrong With This Woman

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Perhaps it was because of the first impression that Ye Feng was slightly wary of Lan Xingyue.

Just as Jiang Xiaoyan said, Lan Xingyue should be a cold woman now.

However, why did she show such a charming and docile attitude in front of him just now?

Could it be that she had fallen in love with him?

He felt that his charm should not have reached the point where everyone loved him, right?

If she didn’t fall for him, then she was just putting on an act. There should be a deeper meaning behind it.

However, he couldn’t expose her for the time being. Instead, he needed to beat her at her own game.

At the thought of this, he deliberately pretended to be infatuated and could not help but praise, “You looked so beautiful just now.”

Lan Xingyue glared at him. “Since when am I not beautiful?”

Ye Feng hurriedly slapped his mouth. “Look at me, I was so mesmerized by you that I was talking nonsense. You have always been beautiful, but that moment was especially beautiful.”

“Hmph, you should use your words to coax those inexperienced young women. I won’t fall for your tricks.” Although Lan Xingyue said that, the smile on her face betrayed her.

“What are you saying? Aren’t you a young woman now? You’re talking as if you’re old.”

Under Ye Feng’s fancy flattery, Lan Xingyue was so amused that she swayed back and forth.

Many male customers in the cafe looked at him with envy and jealousy.

“This kid looks ordinary. How can he make the goddess so happy?”

“That’s right. I went over to hit on her just now, and she actually asked me to look in the mirror. No matter how ugly I am, I’m still more handsome than this kid, right?”

“Uh… I think you really need to find a mirror to look at yourself.”

“F*ck…”

Ye Feng chatted and laughed with Lan Xingyue for a while more, they finalized the cooperation, and then he told her to go home and wait for the news.

On the way back, he received a call from Cheng Fei’er.

“Ye Feng, the information you asked me to look up on that girl has already been investigated.” As soon as the call was connected, Cheng Fei’er went straight to the point.

“So fast? You didn’t randomly search on Baidu to fool me, did you?” Ye Feng clicked his tongue, from the time he called Cheng Fei’er until now, it had only been an hour, and she had already found out.

“Hehe, you’re using a petty person’s heart to gauge a gentleman’s feelings. There’s indeed something wrong with this woman,” Cheng Fei ‘er complained.

Ye Feng’s heart tightened. “What’s the problem?”

Cheng Fei’er was silent for a moment as if she was flipping through some information. Finally, she continued. “This Lan Xingyue graduated from an Ivy League high school in Japan, and her grades were very good. With her education and ability, she could definitely find a much better job. But she chose Origin Mining. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“What’s so strange about that?”

Ye Feng thought that she had made a huge discovery, but he was greatly disappointed after hearing it.

“Indeed, there’s nothing strange about joining Origin Mining. But at that time, Origin Mining didn’t have a recruitment plan. She spent hundreds of thousands to get in through connections. Do you still think it’s okay?”

Cheng Fei’er’s next words made Ye Feng alert.

Indeed, it was a little strange.

Although Origin Mining was one of the top mining companies in Jiangzuo, the treatment of its employees was not very good. It was only average.

A captain of an exploration team like Lan Xingyue only had a monthly salary of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. The benefits were also very ordinary.

This kind of job might be attractive to ordinary university graduates.

However, for someone like her, who graduated from a famous university and was extremely capable, it was not enough.

With her academic background and ability, she could even go to the top mining companies in the world. Her benefits would be much better than Origin Mining’s.

However, she had chosen Origin Mining, which was much worse off in all aspects. To get this position, she had even paid hundreds of thousands.

This kind of behavior was too abnormal.

There must be something wrong.

Cheng Fei’er then raised another point of suspicion. “And she joined the company on the second day after you came to Jiangzuo. Is this a coincidence or something else?”

After Ye Feng heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Based on the information he had, he could make a hypothesis.

Lan Xingyue happened to enter Origin Mining at this time, so she might have come for him.

Her goal was probably to get close to him and get information about the Xiang King’s secret treasure.

If that was the case, then her abduction by the mysterious organization was probably just a self-directed show.

It was very likely that Lan Xingyue was a member of this mysterious organization.

Of course, these were all guesses without any evidence. He could not be sure that there was really something wrong with Lan Xingyue.

However, it was indeed worth his vigilance.

Then, he needed to come up with a countermeasure.

When they returned to the small courtyard they rented, Zhuang Xiaoqiao was humming a tune as she tidied up her outdoor equipment.

It was obvious that she was in a good mood.

“Are you packing?” Ye Feng had been standing behind her for a long time, but she did not notice, so he could only take the initiative to speak.

“Ah!” Zhuang Xiaoqiao was shocked. She grabbed a bottle of pepper spray and was about to spray it at him.

Fortunately, Ye Feng was quick to react and grabbed her hand. “Don’t be agitated, it’s me.”

When Zhuang Xiaoqiao saw that it was him, she heaved a sigh of relief and slapped his chest. “Are you crazy? Why are you standing behind me?”

Fuuma Jianwu heard the commotion outside and rushed out of the bedroom.

When she saw that it was Ye Feng, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Ye Feng smiled embarrassedly, he sat at the side and watched Zhuang Xiaoqiao pack her things.

After hesitating for a long time, he said, “Xiaoqiao, I have something to discuss with you.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao asked without looking up as she was busy organizing her equipment.

Ye Feng coughed dryly. “This time, don’t go.”

“Swoosh!”

Zhuang Xiaoqiao raised her head abruptly. “What do you mean don’t go?”

Since he had already spoken, Ye Feng no longer had any qualms. “What I mean is, there is something unexpected during this expedition, you might be in danger if you go, so…”

“No, you promised to bring me along. How can you go back on your word?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao was like an angry little tiger as she glared at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not know how to answer.

This was a sudden decision he made on his way back.

Since Lan Xingyue’s identity was very suspicious, he only had two choices.

The first option was to kick her out of the expedition team. That would eliminate the hidden danger.

But he did not like this way of escaping.

Therefore, he was more inclined to the second option, which was to beat them at their own game. He would first prepare a countermeasure and wait for the other party to make a move, then catch them all in one fell swoop.
