Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Atonement

Ling Feng said in surprise, "Director Chen, what is going on here? Why are you kneeling? Isn’t this making things difficult for me?"

Speaking of which, Ling Feng added with difficulty, "I originally just didn’t want you to be a fool, but by doing this now, aren’t you putting me in an unjust situation?"

"No, no, you are a magnanimous person, please don’t involve my family, I beg you!" Chen Feng said, as he knocked his head heavily on the ground in front of Ling Feng.

"Haha!" Ling Feng sneered, "Now you ask not to involve your family? It seems every penny you earned from Chaoyang Group was spent on your family, wasn’t it? Without Chaoyang Group, where would you get the money to buy such a big house? Where would you get the money to buy luxurious cars? Where would you get the money to send your wife to high-end spas? Where would you get the money to send your child to study in America?"

"Now, you betray us and when caught, you plead not to involve your family? Why should I listen to you?" Ling Feng countered.

Chen Feng was at a loss; his lips quivering as he looked at Ling Feng’s extremely indifferent eyes, tears of regret slowly streaming down his face.

"A man’s knees have their own gold; a man’s tears are not easily shed! But for his family, for his loved ones, Chen Feng had completely given up! He knew very well that the things he had done, once known to the company, sending him to the prosecutor’s office would be the most merciful act, while the more cruel act might just vaporize his entire family from this world!"

Clearly, having seen the documents, Chen Feng had already understood Ling Feng’s intentions!

Ling Feng ignored Chen Feng and crossed his legs, looking around him.

After more than ten seconds, Chen Feng’s hoarse voice came through, "Mr. Ling, I don’t know what you want me to do!"

"Have you figured it out?" Ling Feng asked.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand. If you really wanted to deal with me, you wouldn’t have to appear before me. But since you’re here, you definitely don’t just want to see how desperate I am now! So... there must be something you need me to do! Whatever it is, I will do it!"

"Exactly, a clever person!" Ling Feng smiled slightly, "It’s comfortable to deal with clever people! Since you’ve figured that out, I’ll also be honest with you. As for your actions, I don’t really care about them, you are just a pawn after all, so your life or death doesn’t really matter to me in my eyes. Understand?"

Although Ling Feng’s words were blunt, Chen Feng’s heart was somewhat relieved. Since Ling Feng had been so straightforward with him, it indicated he did not intend to kill him.

"Even if I handled you, the mastermind behind you would remain untouched, and that’s not the result I want!" Ling Feng stated calmly, "I want a permanent solution, to cripple the person who dares reach out from behind! So... I have some tasks for you! If you can complete them to my satisfaction, then there might be a chance for your son, Chen Yangchen!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Feng suddenly lifted his head, his voice trembling, "Mr. Ling, are you serious?"

Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Chen Feng, remember, I don’t like anyone questioning my words, whether it’s my promises or my threats. Understand?"

...

Initially, Ling Feng did not want to let Chen Feng go, but after seeing the information collected by Flame Hall, he sighed in his heart.

Chen Feng was not truly a bad person. However, as a human being, he certainly had flaws. His flaw was valuing family too highly; for his children, he would step into the abyss knowingly, even if he knew it was a trap!

After seeing this, Ling Feng fell silent; he thought of his own parents, so he decided to give Chen Feng a chance for redemption. Of course, if he wasted this opportunity, he could only blame himself!

However, Chen Feng was relatively wise, as he at least managed to make the right choices.

"Old Chen, do we have guests?" Right after the two had finished talking, Chen Feng’s wife walked in, noticed there were guests at home, and asked.

Chen Feng’s heart tightened as he nervously glanced at Ling Feng.

With a smile, Ling Feng said, "Hello, Lady! Brother Chen has always boasted about how beautiful you are, and seeing you today, he wasn’t exaggerating at all! You must be over thirty, right?"

Chen Feng’s wife laughed, covering her mouth, "What over thirty? Nearly fifty! I know you’re lying, but thank you all the same!"

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wife, this is our company’s..."

At this point, Chen Feng froze, unsure how to introduce Ling Feng, as Ling Feng didn’t actually work at their company!

"I’m President Yun’s personal assistant!" Ling Feng took over the conversation, "My name is Ling Feng, and today I needed Brother Chen’s help with a small matter. I have to go now. Lady, goodbye!"

Chen Feng’s wife was taken aback, "Leaving so soon? Stay for a meal."

"No, thanks!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "I still have to report back to President Yun. I’ll definitely come back and bother you another time, Lady! Brother Chen, I’ll be going now!"

With that, Ling Feng gave Chen Feng a comforting look, then turned and left.

"Is he really President Yun’s personal assistant? Isn’t President Yun a woman? Why would she hire a male personal assistant? Could he be your President Yun’s..." Chen Feng’s wife asked curiously.

Chen Feng startled, "Don’t talk nonsense. How could President Yun do such a thing?"

"Why are you snapping at me?" his wife retorted, somewhat displeased, "I was wondering if he might be President Yun’s boyfriend or something. What were you thinking of?"

Chen Feng said awkwardly, "Boyfriend, huh? I’m not very sure either. But Ling Feng is highly capable, so I wouldn’t rule it out!"

"Look at him, not only is he handsome and sweet-talking, but also President Yun’s personal assistant. I think there’s more to it! He might really be your President Yun’s boyfriend. You know, you should try to get closer to him, not just bury yourself in work all day, okay?"

Chen Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Get closer to the other party? That would require the other party’s willingness!

"Okay, okay, I get it! I’ll try to get closer to Ling Feng!" Chen Feng said somewhat superficially.

Seeing Chen Feng’s indifferent attitude, his wife knew her husband wasn’t taking her seriously and didn’t continue, turning instead to make dinner in the kitchen.

"I didn’t expect Chen Feng’s wife to be quite insightful!" Ling Feng glanced back at Chen Feng’s house from downstairs, a slight smile on his lips, "Chen Feng, my compassion has its limits. Whether you can redeem yourself depends on your own choices! Fang Tong, I haven’t dealt with you yet, but it’s interesting that you’ve already popped out so soon. Truly interesting!"
