Chen Feng was wide awake.
He sat in the chair, gazing at the bright moon outside the window.
Tang Xin's bold confession didn't surprise him much, as she had already ambushed him last night.
Strictly speaking, this Sichuan and Chongqing girl was quite good.
Her personality was fiery, generous, and direct.
Moreover, her looks were quite high, and her figure was especially good.
Girls from the Sichuan and Chongqing region never had bad figures.
Logically, this kind of girl was actually very suitable to be a girlfriend.
It was just that she had found the wrong target.
Rosa had just left not long ago, so Chen Feng actually hadn't planned on accepting a new relationship yet.
Tang Xin wanted a boyfriend.
She didn't want a one-night stand.
Chen Feng didn't want to hurt her.
Furthermore, Tang Xin was also considered to be in the industry; if they truly got together, it would start sweet for a while, but then they would have to face the situation of being together less often than apart.
It wasn't meaningful!
If he wanted stability, he still had to find someone outside the industry.
So, let it be.
Chen Feng sat for a while, still without any sleepiness, so he simply opened his suitcase, took out the bottle of red wine he had bought during the day, got up, left the room, and went down to the restaurant downstairs.
He opened it directly.
He took a wine glass and sat alone in the living room, pouring and drinking by himself.
He savored it carefully.
The Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon dry red, worth over a million, truly tasted good.
It was much better than the usual sourness of ordinary red wine, with a mellow aftertaste, a red fruit aroma, and even a hint of woody and spicy notes.
Chen Feng was getting high.
He sipped small mouthfuls, brushing his phone as he drank.
At a certain moment.
A piercing siren sounded outside.
A police car sped past.
Chen Feng looked up, didn't think much of it, and continued drinking.
Forty minutes later.
More than half a bottle of red wine was gone.
It was starting to go to his head.
Chen Feng felt dizzy, his heart rate accelerated, his blood rushed, and he felt hot all over, only then putting away his phone and swaying back to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, a captivating body crashed into his arms.
A fragrant and fleshy scent filled his nostrils.
Chen Feng quickly put out a hand to block, but ended up resting it on a startling place; he didn't even need to look to know it was her.
"Chu Ning, what are you doing?"
"Chen Feng, I'm doing this willingly. After the final battle, we'll go our separate ways. I might be forced to do many things I don't want to do. I know you don't have a girlfriend right now. How long has it been since you touched a woman?"
Chen Feng: "..."
"Don't worry, after this night, we won't bother each other."
Chu Ning's beautiful eyes sparkled.
Her ultra-thin nightgown had already slipped to the floor.
An exaggerated sense of pressure came over him.
Chen Feng's blood rushed, he took a deep breath, and looked directly into her eyes: "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Chu Ning nodded without hesitation.
"Good."
Chen Feng bent down and scooped her up, hooked the door shut with his foot, and then strode towards the bed.
A moment later, the wind howled outside the window.
...
The next day.
In the early morning, the chirping of birds outside the window woke the sleeping Chen Feng.
His head ached.
He slowly sat up, rubbing his temples.
Suddenly, Chen Feng turned his head to look beside him.
The bed was empty.
He was alone.
His memory was a bit muddled.
Was last night just a dream?
Chen Feng sat for a while, then casually lifted the quilt, and sure enough, the bedsheet clearly showed a scene of blooming peach blossoms, crimson and dazzling.
It seemed it wasn't a dream.
Had Chu Ning already left?
Chen Feng vigorously wiped his face, his mood neither good nor bad, got up, dressed, washed up quickly, and then went downstairs.
When he arrived in the living room.
On the living room sofa, everyone else had come down.
And they were gathered together, looking at something.
Each of their expressions was very solemn.
Chu Ning was also there.
When everyone saw Chen Feng come down, they quickly motioned for him to come over.
Chen Feng's gaze met Chu Ning's for a moment, and Chu Ning subconsciously avoided it, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Han Tao, with an exaggerated expression, called out to him: "Chen Feng, come over quickly. Something big has happened."
"Something big?"
Chen Feng walked over in confusion, sitting on the edge.
"Something really big has happened."
Han Tao casually handed his phone to Chen Feng: "See for yourself, someone died last night in the underground parking lot of the Jiangnan Building. It was one of the wealthy businessmen who attended the charity gala yesterday."
Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this.
He quickly took the phone and looked at it.
Indeed!
The latest announcement released in today's morning news.
A wealthy businessman named Luo Deyong was confirmed to have died in the underground parking lot of the radio station building.
This person had attended the charity gala last night.
And, he was the one who had bid on the ink jade orchid.
The announcement also confirmed that all of Luo Deyong's valuables had been stolen, including the ink jade orchid he had just acquired.
The scene looked like a robbery and murder.
The police had now sealed off the underground parking lot and were investigating.
Chen Feng frowned.
Such a big deal?
Although Chen Feng had a premonition that the ink jade orchid would definitely cause trouble, he never thought it would lead to a fatal disaster.
What era was this?
There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and people dared to kill so casually?
Were they insane?
Chen Feng handed the phone back and casually said: "This kind of case should be solved very quickly."
"It should be."
Han Tao interjected: "There are surveillance cameras everywhere now, the police will check everyone who entered and exited the parking lot last night, and they should find the killer very quickly. It's just a bit scary. This person was still at the charity gala yesterday."
A Yi nodded: "Yes, I remember he even danced with me."
Yu Zhiwen shook her head and sighed: "People never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. You say, he just attended a charity gala, and then he was gone. His family must be heartbroken."
Xu Nuo, however, pursed his lips: "I'm more worried about whether our show will be affected. The final battle is in three days. And now this happens?"
Tao Yilun frowned and gave him a look: "What you're saying is too inhumane, isn't it?"
"Damn it."
Xu Nuo sneered impatiently: "What does the deceased have to do with you? Don't always engage in those pretentious things. Don't you care about the show?"
Tao Yilun rolled his eyes: "I have nothing to say to you."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Feng, pointed to the red wine on the table, and said exaggeratedly: "I say, Old Chen, this is the bottle of red wine you bought last night, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Feng nodded.
"You just opened it?"
"Opened it."
"You drank more than half a bottle yourself?"
Chen Feng nodded: "I couldn't sleep last night, so I opened it and drank it."
Tao Yilun's face was exaggerated: "A two-million-dollar bottle of wine, and you just drank it? Didn't you say you were going to auction it abroad, and it could sell for over five million?"
"It can sell for over five million."
Tao Yilun asked in confusion: "Then you just drank it? When you bought it yesterday, I thought you were borrowing money to take it abroad for auction, and you could make some profit. But you actually just drank it."
Chen Feng smiled: "I couldn't resist for a moment."
Tao Yilun: "..."
The others: "..."
At this moment, Yu Zhiwen looked at the remaining small half bottle of red wine, and suddenly licked her lips: "Feng Ge, can I have a taste?"
"You can, if you don't feel uncomfortable drinking this stuff first thing in the morning, then drink it."
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Han Tao grabbed the wine bottle and ran towards the kitchen: "I'll taste it first."
"Han Tao, you scoundrel."
"Han Tao, don't pour it all out."
"Damn it, leave me some."
"I want some too."
...
Everyone rushed off in a swarm.
In the end, only Chen Feng and Chu Ning were left.
Chu Ning glanced at Chen Feng, blushed, and then ran off too.
It was just that her steps were a bit awkward.
It must still hurt, right?
