Chapter 1211 - 1216: Gossipmonger
Of course, Lin Feng wasn’t overthinking it; standing up for his woman was a matter of course... he had silently noted Wu Mei’s words.
Lin Feng also understood Wu Mei’s workplace, which was the Special Operations Unit of the Detective Division in Jiangzhou City Police Bureau. This unit didn’t have many personnel to begin with, and with Lin Feng’s capabilities, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a few gossiping women who disparaged Wu Mei.
Wu Mei’s mood seemed to brighten with Lin Feng’s arrival. She tilted her head slightly and smiled tranquilly at Lin Feng, gently saying, "Lin Feng, don’t worry. I’ve already resigned. Even if they keep being annoying, they won’t bother me anymore!"
Hearing Wu Mei say that, Lin Feng gently nodded, "Alright, I’ll take you home tonight, and tomorrow we’ll go look at houses..."
"Tomorrow? Looking at houses?" Wu Mei was momentarily stunned, as if she hadn’t yet reacted to what Lin Feng said. It took her a good ten seconds to come to her senses, "Won’t it be a bit rushed?"
"You’ve already started buying baby supplies, and I’m not in a rush?" Lin Feng’s face took on a peculiar expression as he glanced at Wu Mei and laughed softly.
"Oh right... I completely forgot!" A silly smile appeared on Wu Mei’s face, then she looked somewhat melancholic as she gazed at Lin Feng and asked in a low voice, "Lin Feng, are you leaving now?"
Lin Feng shook his head, gazing tenderly at Wu Mei and said earnestly, "No, I’m staying here with you."
Only then did Wu Mei relax, her face showing genuine joy.
Lin Feng accompanied Wu Mei back to her dormitory and opened the door, only to find that Wu Mei’s small place was already filled with various baby items: diapers, clothes, pants, bottles, strollers, bibs, everything imaginable. It practically looked like a mini-specialized supermarket...
"No wonder Cheng Yu was so nervous..." Upon seeing the setup in Wu Mei’s room, Lin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. Seeing this situation, anyone would probably think Wu Mei had lost her mind!
But Wu Mei was completely oblivious, enthusiastically discussing the ins and outs of buying baby supplies with Lin Feng. Fortunately, having brushed up on baby clothing essentials due to Xue Qingyi’s pregnancy, Lin Feng spoke eloquently, hitting the nail on the head and delighting Wu Mei.
Lin Feng finally managed to coax Wu Mei into bed to sleep and cautiously exited her room, preparing to drive home. Just as he pulled Wu Mei’s door shut, but before he could fully close it, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out coldly behind him, questioning him.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you coming out of Wu Mei’s room?"
Lin Feng turned around to see a woman around thirty with a fair complexion, holding a shopping bag and looking at him suspiciously.
"I’m Wu Mei’s friend, and you are?" Lin Feng asked calmly, his face neutral as he looked at the woman.
"Wu Mei’s friend?! How come I don’t know you?" The woman’s lips curled slightly, and after scrutinizing Lin Feng, she showed a contemptuous expression on her face, "Must be someone Wu Mei the tramp hooked up with, huh! Hey, kid, if you have any sense, let me give you a piece of advice: as a man, you should know moderation, don’t just focus on pleasure. Wu Mei, this woman, is quite promiscuous, she might even be carrying some diseases..."
"Who the hell are you? Spouting nonsense and maliciously slandering Wu Mei?!" Lin Feng frowned, glared angrily at the woman in front of him, and questioned furiously.
"Wow, the kid’s angry, huh!" The middle-aged woman wasn’t fazed by Lin Feng’s anger; instead, she giggled, "Got a lot of fire in you, but anger aside, everything we’re saying is the truth! Everyone at the unit knows Wu Mei, that filthy woman, was supposedly on a task and came back wearing a dazzling diamond necklace claiming it was legally acquired... said it was a gift from her boyfriend! Ridiculous, if I had a boyfriend who casually gifts million-dollar diamond necklaces, would I still need to work?! Wu Mei leveraged her mission to infiltrate high-end clubs, exploiting public office for personal gain, hooking up with wealthy men..."
"Smack!"
Just as the middle-aged woman was about to continue, Lin Feng suddenly slapped her hard across the face, turning her cheek and ear root crimson.
"You punk! You dare hit me! You don’t know I’m a police officer, do you?! Punk, you’re finished! I’ll definitely report you for assaulting an officer..." The middle-aged woman widened her eyes, cursed vehemently, and then reached out with a martial grab at Lin Feng.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng wasn’t just any soft target for the middle-aged woman to toy with. As she reached out, Lin Feng struck again, smacking her hard on the opposite cheek.
Instantly, the middle-aged woman’s cheeks were reddened on both sides...
"I don’t care who you are, I just want to tell you that if you shut up now and swear never to speak ill of Wu Mei again, I might consider letting you off. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret ever coming into this world!" Lin Feng glared coldly at the woman, his face dark with menace. Indeed, this wasn’t a threat but Lin Feng’s sincere advice.
"Screw you, you bastard! I’ve been in Jiangzhou Police Bureau for ten years, and I haven’t seen anyone as desperate as you!" The policewoman showed no concern for Lin Feng’s words and responded arrogantly, "I’m telling you, no matter who you are, you’re finished!"
With that, Wang Cuihua immediately retrieved a walkie-talkie from her back waist, opened the channel, and casually spoke into it, "Yuan Rong, Miao Li, you two come downstairs to my room now. I got harassed by a punk! Come help me catch him, I’m going to finish him!"
Upon hearing Wang Cuihua speak into the walkie-talkie, Lin Feng didn’t stop her; instead, he waited with a peculiar expression for her called reinforcements to arrive... looking very cooperative!
Was this his way of luring out those women deliberately smearing Wu Mei? Lin Feng wasn’t sure, as those women weren’t snakes. Without police equipment or firearms, they didn’t even count as bugs.
Soon, two women, dressed in pajamas, came rushing down the stairs. The two looked tense as they glanced at Wang Cuihua and spoke urgently before even getting close, "What’s going on, Cui Hua? Who’s so bold to cause trouble here?!"
"It’s this guy!" Wang Cuihua pointed at Lin Feng, sneering, "He says he’s Wu Mei’s man and wants to settle scores with us!"
