Chapter 262: Chapter 262: I Did It

"Xiao Rui, Wei Meizi is my friend, and I hope you can sit down calmly," Ling Feng said with a rueful smile. "I had my reasons for calling her over, and you should not hold any prejudice against her. Despite having ties to the underworld, Meizi is not one to conflate right and wrong, nor does she act recklessly!"

Wei Meizi looked at Ling Feng with some surprise; she had not expected him to take her side at this time.

Yun Hanrui’s face was frosty as she sneered, "She’s not a reckless person? Just before the New Year, I was bullied by those from Flame Hall, and yet Ling Feng, you still associate with them. You..."

As she spoke, a sense of grievance rose in Yun Hanrui’s heart.

"I’m sorry, Miss Yun Hanrui!" At this moment, Wei Meizi actually took the initiative to speak. "Those people were incited by someone to target you, and they have already received the punishment they deserved."

Wei Meizi spoke earnestly, "Though Flame Hall is part of the underworld, we also have legitimate businesses and strictly prohibit the bullying of women!"

"That sounds good, but who knows if what you’re saying is true!" The rage in Yun Hanrui’s heart had not subsided.

Wei Meizi gave a slight smile, "I think Ling Feng is the most qualified to speak on this matter! He came to me the day after you were attacked, and now each of those people has lost an arm. I believe this punishment should suffice, right?"

Yun Hanrui’s heart skipped a beat, a lost arm? That’s intentional injury! But in a flash, remembering this woman’s underworld ties, a chill crept over her heart. She was a woman ruthless both in heart and in action!

"You said Ling Feng came to you the next day?" Yun Hanrui glanced at Ling Feng and couldn’t help asking.

Wei Meizi chuckled lightly, "Yes, Ling Feng looked so angry at that time, I was even startled! If I hadn’t found those people in time, he would have dismantled my place!"

Yun Hanrui cast a fleeting look at Ling Feng, her face revealing an uncontrollable sweetness, "You... why didn’t you tell me about this?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "I’m not a child to report everything I do for praise. You don’t reward me with candy!"

Yun Hanrui’s cheeks flushed, and she said nothing.

Wei Meizi then sat to the side, crossing her elegant legs and said, "Ling Feng, what did you need me for? Was it because of yesterday’s incident?"

Ling Feng pulled Yun Hanrui to sit down, Yun Hanrui resisted briefly but couldn’t break free, and so she sat down as Ling Feng had motioned.

Ling Feng said, "That’s right, the Biotech Park project does concern Xiao Rui. I don’t want her to be frightened, and I hope you two can get to know each other. In the future, you might be able to help each other out. Xiao Rui is a very earnest girl, and I’m concerned she might be taken advantage of because of it."

Yun Hanrui huffed, "I don’t need her help. What’s wrong with being earnest? If I weren’t, could Chaoyang Group have developed so quickly? Besides, if I act with integrity, how can I suffer any loss?"

Wei Meizi looked at Yun Hanrui with some surprise, she had not expected the president of such a large conglomerate to be so naive and pure!

It seemed that Chaoyang Group’s rapid growth in recent years was partly due to the previous president’s connections and partly due to a monopoly on technology. Otherwise, with Yun Hanrui’s temperament, it would indeed be quite difficult to develop.

Wei Meizi did not beat around the bush; she directly stated, "Miss Yun Hanrui, to tell you the truth, I was the one who ordered the fire at the Biotech Park yesterday!"

"What!" Yun Hanrui stood up involuntarily upon hearing the news, her eyes wide in disbelief, "You... you’re not joking, are you?"

Wei Meizi said with a smile, "Why would I joke about something like this?"

Yun Hanrui was completely stunned, "It was you? Aren’t you afraid of being caught by the police?"

Wei Meizi chuckled, "Don’t worry, even if the police catch the arsonist, they won’t be able to trace it back to me!"

"But why would you do such a thing? Do you have any idea how much time we’re going to lose? This is a crime!" Yun Hanrui said sternly.

Ling Feng was sipping his juice, completely ignoring the conversation between the two women.

Although Yun Hanrui was somewhat obstinate, Ling Feng wasn’t worried at all with Wei Meizi present, given her worldly wisdom.

"Then do you know why I did this?" Wei Meizi said lightly, "If you can’t even guess that, I think Chaoyang Group is in danger under your management!"

"Are you trying to scare me?" Yun Hanrui said angrily, clenching her fists.

Wei Meizi gently shook her head, "Then let me rephrase the question, do you realize what this Biotech Park stands for?"

At this, a hint of pride appeared on Yun Hanrui’s face, "As long as this Biotech Park is successfully established, it will be a leading bioresearch park both domestically and internationally, and it will greatly advance our country’s biological research and even fill a gap in this field for our nation!"

Clap clap clap! Wei Meizi applauded, praising, "Impressive, truly impressive. But beyond these points, what else do you see?"

Yun Hanrui was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Aren’t these enough?"

Wei Meizi paused, then burst out laughing, covering her mouth with her hand and looking at Yun Hanrui with amusement, "My dear girl, I finally see why Ling Feng wanted to introduce you to me, for us to help each other. It turns out he wanted me to be your nanny!"

Ling Feng touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he averted his gaze.

Yun Hanrui was somewhat irked; after taking over Chaoyang Group, what she hated most was people doubting her capabilities! And being doubted by someone from the underworld was even more aggravating.

"Alright, let me ask you a few simple questions!" Seeing Yun Hanrui was a little upset, Wei Meizi stopped teasing her and said, "Do you know what political role this bioresearch park of yours plays?"

Yun Hanrui asked confusedly, "What does this have to do with politics?"

"Yun Hanrui, remember, you are a businesswoman now, not a scholar, not a researcher!" Wei Meizi spoke earnestly, "As a business person, especially as the Controller of a top group, how can you be completely detached from politics? I can tell you plainly, a business person who doesn’t understand politics will only lead their company to ruin."

Before Yun Hanrui could retort, Wei Meizi continued indifferently, "Do you know what significance this bioresearch park project holds for the City Committee Secretary Lin Feng?"
