The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, pointed at the puppy again, and said slowly and deliberately, "Yes, Flower, Flower." After saying that, he looked up at Lin Feng with bright eyes, as if waiting for praise.

Lin Feng nodded vigorously and said, "Hua Hua, remember, I'll feed it for you next time you come."

Xiaoyu grinned, revealing a front tooth that had just fallen out.

Wang Fang was chopping vegetables in the kitchen when she heard laughter coming from the living room. She couldn't help but peek out.

Seeing Xiaoyu sitting on the floor hugging Doudou's neck, Lin Feng squatted down next to him and reached out to tease the little puppy Huahua. Xiaoyu suddenly looked up at Lin Feng and said, "Huahua likes Uncle." Although he stumbled over his words, his tone was very serious.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Then Uncle likes flowers too." Wang Fang, who was next to him, turned around and continued chopping vegetables, but her movements unconsciously slowed down a bit, and the habitual tension between her eyebrows and eyes also relaxed a little.

That evening, Lin Feng leaned against the headboard of the hotel bed, opened his laptop and organized the photos and videos he had taken that day. He then sent a message to the centralized procurement department, asking them to arrange testing as soon as possible after receiving the samples.

Just as I finished dealing with these things, my phone rang. It was Shen Ping calling.

Shen Ping's voice was low on the other end of the phone, tinged with fatigue and urgency. He asked, "How's it going on your end?"

"It'll take about another week. I'm pretty sure she's here now, just changed her surname to Wang Fang. She has a seven-year-old son, the age matches perfectly, and the child's features look a lot like his. She doesn't completely trust me yet, but after these past two days, she's become much less wary. Today she even asked me how long I'd be staying in Qingxi. My next step is to find an opportunity to get a blood sample from the child and send it to Hohai University for DNA testing. Once the results are in, she won't be able to deny it."

"Okay, I'll hold out for a while longer. Chen Liangliang's actions are becoming increasingly frequent, and the province is under a lot of pressure these days, but we can still manage. We'll talk when you have news. Once we get the DNA comparison results, I can officially start the investigation. Also, Section Chief Jiang and his wife have settled in Kyoto. His wife's transfer to another hospital has been completed, and Professor Cheng is cooperating well. You need to be careful on your end, get the evidence as soon as possible, but don't put too much pressure on them."

"I understand. She seems to have a good impression of me right now. Give me a few more days, and I should be able to build trust."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette. The night outside the window in Qingxi Town was quiet and deep, with a few scattered lights reflected on the river.

I mentally reviewed the plans for the next few days, then picked up my phone and looked through the photos I took at the tea garden today, saving a few of the best ones into a newly created folder.

In the following days, Lin Feng would appear at the pet shop almost every day, intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes he would come to change the dressing, sometimes to bring some snacks for Xiao Yu, sometimes to chat with Wang Fang about the tea plantation, and sometimes he would simply stop by for a while.

She even volunteered to go into the kitchen once, put on an apron and cooked a few of her signature dishes—stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, braised pork ribs, and spicy crayfish, all of which were authentic Jiangbei flavors.

Wang Fang watched as he put the crayfish into the pot. The hot oil sizzled, and the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies rolled in the pot, releasing a pungent and spicy aroma.

Smelling the fumes, she backed away, but her eyes remained fixed on Lin Feng's skillful wok-flipping movements. She couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin, your cooking skills are good enough to open a restaurant."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Opening a restaurant is out of the question. I can manage cooking at home."

Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe and peered at the stove, his fingers gripping the edge, his eyes sparkling as he stared intently at the pile of bright red crayfish in the pot.

Lin Feng picked up a piece of the already stir-fried dish, placed it on a plate, and handed it to him, saying, "Try it."

Xiaoyu took a bite and was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue. He picked up the water glass on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls, but he still couldn't help but reach for a second one.

Wang Fang laughed and said, "He has never been able to eat spicy food since he was a child, but he still can't help but eat it every time he sees spicy food, just like his father."

She said "just like his father" in a very natural tone. After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then lowered her head to wipe Xiaoyu's mouth without saying anything more.

Lin Feng pretended not to notice this detail and continued to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot.

Besides accompanying Wang Fang and Xiao Yu, Lin Feng also went to finalize the purchase contract for Bailong tea with Uncle Zhang.

The test report from the testing center is out. All the indicators of the white dragon tea have met the standards of the company's high-end gift line. The anthocyanin content is particularly outstanding, so it is perfectly fine to make it into a nourishing tea gift box.

Lin Feng directly signed a long-term exclusive sales agreement with Uncle Zhang, stipulating that the white dragon tea from this tea garden would be supplied exclusively to the Shuke Group, with the group purchasing the tea in full each year based on production volume.

Uncle Zhang looked at the contract over and over again, his hands trembling, and said, "I've been growing tea for most of my life, and this is the first time I've met such a straightforward boss."

After signing the contract, the two sat in Uncle Zhang's courtyard drinking tea and chatting. After a few rounds of tea, the topic gradually shifted from tea to gossip in town.

Lin Feng picked up his teacup and casually remarked, "Uncle Zhang, Sister Wang moved here six years ago, right? It must be tough for a woman raising a newborn baby all by herself."

Uncle Zhang put his pipe in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and thought for a moment before saying, "It was around that time. Not long after the beginning of spring that year, Wang Fang rented that shop near the bridge with a baby who wasn't even a month old. She opened the pet shop a few months later. She didn't have much luggage with her when she arrived; she didn't look like someone doing business, but rather like someone fleeing a disaster. The people in town found it strange that such a young woman, with a baby who wasn't even a month old, would come to this remote mountain village." He took a puff of his pipe, lowering his voice.

"Some people in town gossiped that she had gotten into some trouble outside and was hiding here. Others said she had been dumped by a man and was too ashamed to go back to her hometown. But then something happened, and no one in town dared to say anything anymore."

Raymond Lam put down his teacup and asked, "What is it?"

Uncle Zhang tapped his pipe on the sole of his shoe, leaned forward, and lowered his voice, saying, "A couple of years ago, there was a town mayor's son who saw Wang Fang was pretty and raising her child alone. He got some wicked ideas, so he went to her house in the middle of the night after drinking, and the next day he went to her shop and blocked her way, saying all sorts of indecent things, and even threatening to make sure she couldn't stay in town anymore. Wang Fang made a phone call, and it wasn't the town police who came; it was the county public security bureau. They arrested him that very night. The mayor's son never came out after that. I heard he was convicted of attempted rape and disorderly conduct and sentenced to several years in prison. Not long after, the mayor himself was also arrested for corruption, and his whole family was ruined. Since then, no one in town has dared to mess with Wang Fang anymore, not even gossip about her behind her back."

After listening, Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on his knees, his gaze fixed on the old locust tree in the yard.

There's a crucial detail in Uncle Zhang's words: the county public security bureau directly dispatched officers to make arrests. This indicates that someone had given instructions from above, which is why the county public security bureau bypassed the town police station to send officers.

Why would an ordinary single mother with no connections or influence in the town be able to get the county police to dispatch officers directly?

Unless she's not an ordinary person at all, and someone has been secretly protecting her all along. And there's only one person with that kind of power.

It seems pretty much true.

However, there is still a question: how often does Chen Liangliang come here?
