Just as Lin Feng was surprised by the arrival of the two beautiful women, an unexpected guest entered Dong Jie's shop—Huang Sheng!
Dong Jie was originally preparing to take money to the police station to bail Lin Feng out. She wasn't a woman who didn't understand anything; although Lin Feng had hit someone, it was in self-defense, and he only injured the person, not killed them. The nature of the situation was different, so she believed the worst outcome would be that Lin Feng was detained, and detention could be bailed out.
Of course, this process required money, but Dong Jie couldn't just watch Lin Feng spend a night at the police station without doing anything. She knew that bailing Lin Feng out would definitely require a significant amount of money, but since it concerned Lin Feng, she wouldn't consider the financial aspect any further.
Just as she was ready to leave with the money, the doorbell rang.
Dong Jie rarely heard her doorbell ring because her shop operated from morning until night, closing only after people finished their late-night snacks. She also didn't have any close friends who would visit her after she closed up; she simply didn't have the time or energy to make any close friends.
Moreover, close friendships aren't something that can be found just by investing time and effort; they rely on fate. In the city, who knows if your good friends have ulterior motives?
People's hearts are inscrutable; you may know their faces but not their hearts! If there were any close friends, Lin Feng would be one of them!
In a hurry, she opened the door and saw someone she was quite familiar with—Huang Sheng. Dong Jie recognized him well because the goods for her initial self-service store were sourced from a wholesale company owned by Huang Sheng.
By chance, Huang Sheng had seen Dong Jie in his wholesale company and was struck by her beauty. After inquiring about her, he admired her sharpness even more and began pursuing her with his wealth.
Later on, Dong Jie became aware of Huang Sheng's intentions, but she had no interest in him romantically. True to her character, she directly rejected all of Huang Sheng's invitations for dates and drew a clear line between them. To assert her independence, Dong Jie even changed her wholesale supplier to a more expensive company.
The reason Dong Jie rejected Huang Sheng was simple: she learned that his background was questionable and that he engaged in shady business dealings. She also knew that his private life was chaotic. Coupled with her lack of feelings for him, it was natural for her to keep her distance.
It is evident that although Dong Jie is a woman of the streets who sometimes says insincere flattering words under pressure, she has her own principles—a rarity in today's urban environment where "laughing at poverty but not at prostitution" prevails.
Naturally, Huang Sheng would not easily give up on Dong Jie. Yes, he had many women, but they were merely playthings; he wasn't foolish enough to think they could be his capable partner like Dong Jie.
However, Huang Sheng wasn't a good person either. Since Dong Jie wouldn't give him an opportunity to pursue her openly, he didn't mind using underhanded methods. He didn't focus on details; he cared about results.
Tonight, he felt that all his schemes were about to come to fruition. The thought of holding Dong Jie's ripe body in his arms made his heart race uncontrollably; after all, how could anyone resist someone as stunning as Dong Jie?
"What are you doing here?" Dong Jie asked impatiently as she rushed to the police station to pick up Lin Feng. She had no time for small talk with Huang Sheng and spoke with an urgency that suggested she wanted him to leave.
"Heh heh, Dong Jie, where are you in such a hurry to go? To bail out that pretty boy Lin Feng?" Huang Sheng replied with a polite smile. He enjoyed this feeling of having everything under control. Although he had an inkling about why Dong Jie was so eager to find Lin Feng, he couldn't help but feel jealous and let it show in his tone—it wasn't very pleasant; one might even say it was quite harsh.
Damn it! He cursed Lin Feng's ancestors in his mind—he was jealous! Very jealous!
"You, how did you know?" Dong Jie was not foolish; she felt suspicious about Huang Sheng's sudden appearance.
"Haha... I just heard that it seems like things aren't very peaceful here tonight, and I was worried you might get hurt, so I came to check on you. Of course, I also wanted to gather some information." Although the situation had reached this point, Huang Sheng felt there was no need to hide his schemes any longer. Still, he didn't want to directly tell Dong Jie; he pitifully wanted to maintain his last facade in front of her.
"I see. Was Heizi sent by you?" After thinking through the entire situation, Dong Jie quickly grasped the key point—Heizi. She had dealt with Heizi before; in the past, Heizi would just collect protection fees and leave. This time, Lin Feng's conflict with Heizi was also due to Heizi's entanglement, wasn't it?
It must be said that Dong Jie was indeed a beautiful and intelligent woman. Based on some minor details, she could guess the general truth of the matter in such a short time, which was quite impressive.
After hearing Dong Jie's words, Huang Sheng admired her intelligence in his heart while further solidifying his desire to marry her. It would be a shame to let such a woman go.
"Hehe... Yes, you don't give me a chance at all. You'd rather be nice to some pretty boy than look at me. I'm very sincere; why the hell won't you give me a chance?" Since he could no longer hide it, Huang Sheng simply admitted it. In the end, he thought about the disparity between his and Lin Feng's status in Dong Jie's eyes, and his tone became more irritable.
There was no way around it; one couldn't expect much refinement from someone who relied on smuggling for wealth. As for quality, Huang Sheng didn't even know how much it cost per pound.
However, he was quite something himself—questioning why a girl wouldn't give him a chance when he wasn't good himself and having the audacity to do so was truly admirable.
Well, admirable for her thick skin.
"Stop talking. I don't want to discuss this with you right now; I'm very busy. Just as you said, I still have to protect Lin Feng!" Since Huang Sheng had admitted it, Dong Jie naturally began to dismiss him. She had no interest in arguing with scum like Huang Sheng about who was right or wrong.
Was she supposed to tell a barking dog that what it was doing was wrong? Dong Jie certainly didn't have that kind of spare time.
"Hehe... I'm just here to tell you that it's probably safer for that pretty boy in the police station than if he comes out!" Huang Sheng did not retreat due to Dong Jie's indifference; he stated his purpose for coming. Of course, he wouldn't say it directly but would guide Dong Jie step by step. He believed that with her intelligence, she would understand quickly.
Sure enough, after hearing Huang Sheng's words, Dong Jie trembled slightly in her heart as she recalled the issue she had overlooked because of her feelings for Lin Feng. Lin Feng had publicly taken down over twenty members of the Wolf Gang; once he left the police station, wouldn't he face the Wolf Gang's furious retaliation? These scumbags didn't operate by the same rules as the police.
Seeing that Dong Jie understood his meaning, Huang Sheng continued: "I'm not someone who won't help others in need. No matter how annoying that pretty boy is, he's still your friend, and I can help him."
"You? You'd rather see him dead; how could you help him?" Although Dong Jie didn't want to continue talking with Huang Sheng, she had to endure and ask more questions since it concerned Lin Feng.
"Of course I won't help him for free. You should know that I hate him with a passion. Any man you like makes me wish he were dead. Hehe... But if you were a bit closer to me, I might consider not holding it against him and help him out." Huang Sheng continued speaking; he knew he had grasped Dong Jie's weakness. Although this weakness made him feel jealous as a man, at this moment, there was no time for that—capturing Dong Jie was what mattered most.
"You want me to be your mistress?" Dong Jie asked directly, although she despised the man before her.
"Hehe... I, Huang Sheng, won't let you be my mistress; I want you to be my wife—the other half with whom I will spend my life!" Seeing that Dong Jie was catching on so well, Huang Sheng spoke sincerely.
Dong Jie felt like punching him in the face; she had seen shamelessness before but never this level of shamelessness. To be pushing for marriage while speaking so "affectionately" was utterly outrageous.
"Do you think I would agree to that?" Dong Jie retorted, though her tone was not as dismissive as it had been at first; there was a hint of compromise in her voice.
"Hehe... you will. Even though I don't want to admit it, you really care about that guy!" Huang Sheng quickly responded, easily picking up on the compromise in Dong Jie's tone. At that moment, he couldn't care less about his jealousy towards Lin Feng; as long as he could win over the beauty, he believed it should be Lin Feng who felt jealous.
Dong Jie did not reply but stood there, contemplating the entire situation and considering what she should do. If possible, she did not want to associate with someone like Huang Sheng, let alone become his wife.
But reality was cruel. Dong Jie knew that if Huang Sheng wanted to save Lin Feng, he could likely succeed—his chances were undoubtedly much higher than hers. At this moment, Dong Jie was torn between two choices; it was indeed difficult to make a decision.
On one hand, she wanted the big boy Lin Feng, whom she genuinely liked, to be safe and sound. On the other hand, she did not want to marry this despicable scoundrel in front of her, who would resort to underhanded tactics. It was truly a dilemma for her.
"Hehe... you don't need to think about it anymore. Don't you want that pretty boy to be safe? Right now, I'm the only one who can save him. Yes, you could bail him out of the police station with money; maybe he could even be judged as acting in self-defense. You might even save some money, but once he's out of the police station, do you think he can fight against the entire Wolf Gang by himself?" Huang Sheng seized the opportunity to continue analyzing the situation. He focused on Dong Jie's concerns and was confident that she wouldn't refuse to soften her stance.
Having been through this many times before, he understood that Dong Jie's psychological defenses were at their most vulnerable right now. He was certain that tonight he would win over the beauty—the woman he had desired for three whole years; calling her his dream girl would not be an exaggeration. He would not allow her to fall into someone else's arms.
As she hesitated and wrestled with her thoughts, Dong Jie's heart raced uncontrollably. The way her figure moved only made Huang Sheng lick his lips; he feared he might lose control and pounce on her right then and there—she was just too captivating. Huang Sheng quickly regained his composure.
Finally, Dong Jie's gaze began to firm up; it was clear she had made a choice.
