Chapter 1371 - 1374: Guiding Ye Lin

"Still pretending to be innocent! Tell me honestly, did you secretly badmouth me to Director Liu Haidong, causing me to only be able to work in the publicity department from now on?" Ye Lin insisted, continuing to question.

Lin Feng finally understood why Ye Lin was so angry. So this girl thought he had complained about her, which led to her being removed from the frontline, and that was why she was upset!

But, didn’t she know that out of concern for her, he would also think of ways to transfer her away from the frontline?

However, knowing Ye Lin’s temper, Lin Feng knew that getting this violent woman to understand his intentions would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. For Ye Lin, anyone who made her leave the frontline position was her enemy... What Lin Feng couldn’t quite figure out was how Ye Lin knew so quickly that it was his suggestion to Liu Haidong to have her transferred?

"How did you know it was me who suggested this to Liu Haidong?" Lin Feng instinctively asked.

"Hmph... if you want no one to know, you mustn’t do it yourself! The net of heaven is wide, with holes, but it lets nothing through!" Ye Lin got angrier when Lin Feng asked this, as it turned out after Liu Haidong helped transfer her job to the publicity office, he even called her to take credit and implied it was Lin Feng’s idea...

Lin Feng instantly realized that the root of the matter lay with Liu Haidong, crap!

"Ahem... Ye Lin, this is not the place to talk. Put your weapon away first, and let’s find somewhere outside to talk slowly..." Lin Feng glanced at Ning Aoxue and Su Zi behind Ye Lin and said in a low voice.

Lin Feng was afraid Ye Lin might accidentally fire, and it would be bad if Ning Aoxue and Su Zi got hurt.

After all, these two girls didn’t have any protection abilities; one bullet could take their little lives. Even if Lin Feng was the Divine Doctor, he probably wouldn’t be able to save them.

"Fine, let’s go outside and talk. Let’s see what explanation you have!" Ye Lin also knew it wasn’t appropriate to keep pointing a gun at Lin Feng. No matter what, Lin Feng was her man, a little fight was one thing, but causing a big scene wouldn’t end well for her either.

Ye Lin drove herself there, and after Lin Feng dealt with some personal matters, he followed her car to a Cantonese-style tea restaurant near the university town.

Ye Lin got out of the car, asked the waiter for a private room, and only after the waiter brought a pot of fragrant Tieguanyin did she glance at Lin Feng and say lightly, "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to explain, now tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Feng picked up the teapot, poured tea for Ye Lin, and filled his own cup, then looked at Ye Lin with a smile, and casually asked, "You’re so upset, does that mean you don’t like working in the publicity department?"

"Nonsense, of course I don’t like it!" Ye Lin glared at Lin Feng and said angrily, "The publicity department is full of what kind of people, sissy men, weak women, who do nothing all day, dressing up and putting on fake smiles just to please people, disgusting! I would never do such a smile-selling job!"

"You’re being too harsh..." Lin Feng smiled bitterly, thinking that Ye Lin must have spoken incorrectly due to not understanding the difference between publicity and selling smiles.

"How I speak is none of your business!" Ye Lin gritted her teeth, glaring at Lin Feng, and solemnly said, "I only ask you one thing, find Liu Haidong and have him cancel my transfer order, let me return to the detective team! Otherwise, I won’t let you off easily!"

"You still want to go back to the detective team..." Lin Feng shook his head, "I’m afraid the captain position already has a new candidate, there won’t be a position for you even if you go back!"

"I never said I have to be the captain. Even if I’m an ordinary officer, I don’t want to go to the publicity department, do you understand?!" Ye Lin glared at Lin Feng, angrily explaining.

"Alright... don’t get anxious, we’re just chatting, let’s talk it through first, then we’ll discuss this..." Lin Feng worked to calm Ye Lin’s temper.

"Hmph!" Ye Lin turned her face in frustration, grabbed the cup on the table, took a large sip of tea without a care, then slammed the cup back down on the table with a determined thud, "I don’t care, you resolve this for me quickly, I’ll give you three days, no, two days. If by the day after tomorrow, I’m not reinstated as a detective, I’ll hold you accountable!"

Lin Feng was about to speak when the private room door was gently knocked, and a waiter from the tea restaurant brought an array of exquisite dim sum.

"Have something to eat first..." Lin Feng took the opportunity to give Ye Lin a shrimp dumpling to distract her for the moment.

This tea restaurant was Ye Lin’s choice, so the food naturally suited her taste. She didn’t refuse, picked up chopsticks, grabbed the shrimp dumpling Lin Feng gave her, and put it in her mouth, starting to chew slowly.

Cantonese dim sum, sweet and not greasy, without a hint of fishiness, the shrimp was crunchy yet tender, truly a delicacy. After eating one shrimp dumpling, Ye Lin felt noticeably better.

"Ye Lin, I want to ask you a question..." Seeing the time was right, Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and asked calmly, "Does your father agree with you being a detective all the time?"

This question hit Ye Lin’s weak spot.

Ye Lin was stunned for a full two seconds before gently shaking her head, "He certainly doesn’t agree with me being a detective all the time..."

Ye Zhong not only didn’t agree with Ye Lin being a detective all the time, but he also actually hoped that Ye Lin would not enter law enforcement, to be an ordinary woman, to marry a man, and then give him a grandchild... However, Ye Lin had her own ideas and hadn’t listened to Ye Zhong’s advice all this time.

Even though Ye Zhong was dissatisfied with Ye Lin, since she was his only good daughter, no matter how willful Ye Lin was, he couldn’t disown her. In the end, the rather helpless Ye Zhong was forced to agree to Ye Lin becoming a detective and even used a friend’s connections to make her a temporary captain of the detective team!

In Ye Zhong’s mind, being a captain should be less dangerous than being an ordinary officer.

This was a small sacrifice Ye Zhong could make for his willful daughter.

"I think you should be able to understand his thoughts, right? Understand why he doesn’t want you to be a detective all the time..." Lin Feng looked at Ye Lin, gently persuading her.

"Of course I understand, but I can’t give up my ideals because of this!" Ye Lin glanced at Lin Feng, firmly explaining, "Working in law enforcement has always been my ideal, and I hope you all can understand me!"

"Of course I understand, and your father understands you too..." Lin Feng picked up a piece of dim sum, saying gently, "But, don’t you think you actually might be more suitable for publicity work?"
