While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

A deathly silence fell over the car.

Mu Qingning seemed to have become withdrawn, keeping her head pressed against the car window the whole way without moving, looking utterly hopeless.

Lin Feng didn't dare say anything more, afraid that he would push the woman too far and make her jump out of the car.

When they arrived at the apartment building where Mu Qingning lived in Huaiqing District, Meng Bufan was already waiting by the roadside.

You can tell that this area is very lively and full of life. Just by glancing around, you can see all kinds of snacks, restaurants, food stalls, hot pot restaurants, and so on right next to each other.

"Brother-in-law, over here, over here!"

Meng Bufan had already found a parking spot in advance. When he saw Lin Feng roll down the window, he waved his arms and shouted loudly at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng parked the car, and almost as soon as he did, Mu Qingning frantically pushed open the car door and ran into the residential area in her high heels as if fleeing.

"Holy crap, brother-in-law, isn't that my sister's best friend? The beautiful, miracle-working doctor you were looking for? Why did you bring her along?"

Mu Qingning had visited Minghai to treat Meng Qingyao more than once, so Meng Bufan had naturally met her.

Seeing Mu Qingning rush out of the car and run into the residential area without saying a word, Lin Feng couldn't help but look at her with suspicion and asked gossip, "Brother-in-law, what... what did you do to her? Let me tell you, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows! My sister will easily find out if you do this!"

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

Lin Feng slapped Meng Bufan on the forehead in an annoyed tone, then called out to Mu Qingning's retreating figure, "Hey, aren't you eating barbecue anymore?"

Mu Qingning, who had already run quite a distance, suddenly stopped, stomped her feet, and then turned around angrily, walking back slowly with her head down.

After a long while, he walked up to Lin Feng, took a deep breath, and said earnestly, "I...I want to eat!"

"Then let's eat. Which restaurant around here is the best? You live here, you should know, right?"

Lin Feng laughed and asked Mu Qingning.

"I don't know, let's just pick one!"

Mu Qingning shook her head.

"Sister Qingning, you're staying here? What a coincidence! We're staying at the Yunshang Hotel right next door tonight."

Meng Bufan, acting all familiar, grinned at Mu Qingning and realized that Lin Feng had given Mu Qingning a ride along the way.

However, something seemed off about Mu Qingning's expression.

Do you know me?

Mu Qingning stared blankly at Meng Bufan.

"..."

Meng Bufan said with a bitter face, "Sister Qingning, have you forgotten? I saw you when you went to Minghai. Don't you remember me?"

Mu Qingning stared at Meng Bufan for a long time before nodding: "A little, but not much..."

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to order. You guys chat..."

Meng Bufan looked miserable and lost all interest in speaking.

Lin Feng ignored Meng Bufan, who was ordering food at a roadside stall, and instead looked at Mu Qingning curiously: "You live here, don't you know which restaurants are good and which aren't?"

"When I come to eat alone, people always give me strange looks, so I stopped coming..."

Mu Qingning said with some disappointment.

Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated, but he could understand Mu Qingning's situation.

Without saying anything more, the two followed Meng Bufan to a table and ordered barbecue and ice-cold beer.

Mu Qingning simply ate without saying a word, but she drank beer one glass after another with a satisfied expression.

What Lin Feng found offensive was that three tables away from where the three of them were sitting, five shirtless, burly men were brazenly glancing at Mu Qingning and occasionally letting out malicious laughter.

Lin Feng had no interest in dealing with these people who, after drinking too much, thought they were the best in the world.

"Brother-in-law, weren't you going to ask someone to help me find out about Junwei?"

Meng Bufan, however, remembered Lin Feng's help in gathering information for him and couldn't help but ask, looking at Lin Feng with some concern, "How is it? Any news?"

"I forgot!"

Lin Feng slapped his forehead. He had indeed been thinking about this at first, but Mu Qingning's meddling had made him completely forget about it.

Lin Feng then took out his phone and found the business card Ren Wanqiu had given him: "I'll call now!"

Lin Feng doesn't know anyone else in Qingyuan City right now. If he wants to find someone, he probably can't get help from anyone who doesn't have a strong local presence.

Therefore, apart from the Ren family, Lin Feng could not find any other suitable candidates.

Meanwhile, the Ren family.

"Dad, it's been so long, and Lin Feng still hasn't contacted us. Could it be that you're overthinking things? Maybe Lin Feng has other acquaintances in Qingyuan City?"

Ren Yu said somewhat anxiously.

"It's unlikely. If Lin Feng really had useful connections in Qingyuan City, Meng Bufan wouldn't have wasted such an afternoon trying to make things work out of nothing."

Ren Wanqiu sipped his tea, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the phone on the coffee table. He was now somewhat undecided, and said to himself, as if trying to comfort himself, "Let's wait and see. There's no need to rush. If it's really as you say, then I'll just accept my fate."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the coffee table vibrated. The caller ID showed an unknown number, and the location was Minghai.

Upon seeing this, Ren Wanqiu's expression suddenly changed.

He gave Lin Feng his private number, which very few people knew, and it was even less likely that Ming Hai would call.

Ren Wanqiu took a deep breath, answered the call, and turned on speakerphone.

"Mr. Ren, I apologize for disturbing you!"

The moment the call connected, Lin Feng's voice came through.

Upon hearing this, Ren Wanqiu and Ren Yu exchanged an excited glance.

However, to confirm his identity, Ren Wanqiu still cautiously asked, "You...you are young friend Lin?"

"It's me, Grandpa Ren. I hope I haven't disturbed your rest?"

Inside the food stall, Lin Feng smiled and said something polite.

"No, no, young friend Lin, is there something you need for my call so late?"

Ren Wanqiu quickly said.

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted you to help me find someone."

Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Young friend Lin, please speak freely. My Ren family still has some connections and resources in Qingyuan City. You saved my life, and my Ren family has not yet had a chance to properly repay you, young friend Lin."

On the other end of the phone, Ren Wanqiu suppressed his excitement, pretended not to know anything, and answered.

"It's someone named Miao Junwei..."

Lin Feng recounted the events, while Meng Bufan added information from the side.

After Meng Bufan had nothing more to add, Ren Wanqiu on the other end of the phone remained silent for a moment.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ren? Is there something troubling you?"

Lin Feng frowned and asked.

"No, to be honest, I do know some of the people you're looking for, but they involve some local forces in Qingyuan City. If you don't have a close relationship with this person, you'd better not get involved, so as not to cause yourself unnecessary trouble."

Ren Wanqiu's tone was somewhat hesitant.

Lin Feng's call was also on speakerphone, so Meng Bufan could hear it and immediately tensed up.

"Grandpa Ren, please don't hesitate. This man is a good friend of my brother and has helped him a lot. Just tell me where he is!"

Lin Feng gave Meng Bufan a reassuring look, and then spoke.
