Chapter 142 - 142 Male Lead
142 Male Lead
As the purpose of this gathering was partly business, no one was too drunk. Xi Feng called for a valet after Jin Chen’s chauffeur picked him up. Zhuo Jin also called for a valet. He asked Yin Hao and Yin Tao, “Are you waiting for your chauffeur or a valet?”
“You can leave first. I’ve called a valet. I’ll send Xiaotao back first.” Yin Hao saw that Xi Feng was still in a good state and thus wasn’t worried about him making his own way home.
“Why don’t I get my assistant to send you back first?” Xi Feng saw Yin Tao with Yin Hao and was worried that they would wait too long.
“It’s fine, Big Brother Xifeng. Actually, I can drive as I didn’t drink.” Yin Tao turned to look at Yin Hao as if seeking his opinion.
“Forget it, your skills aren’t even as good as mine.” Yin Hao truly didn’t trust Yin Tao, who had only been on the road a few times. It would have been fine if he hadn’t been drinking, but in his current state, he really didn’t dare to let Yin Tao drive.
When Xi Feng saw Yin Tao looking at Yin Hao looking like she had been belittled, he couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that Yin Hao was closer to Yin Tao than Yin Ning.
“Xiaotao.” Xi Feng thought about it and decided to tell Yin Tao about Liang Yi. “Have you met Liang Yi before?”
When Yin Tao heard Xi Feng’s question, she felt uneasy and asked him warily, “Did Liang Yi say something?”
“Before Liang Yi left, he asked me about your profession…”
“What did you say?” Yin Tao interrupted Xi Feng, looking a little nervous.
Xi Feng noticed Yin Tao’s nervousness, and he became even more puzzled.
“I told him you didn’t have a stable job.”
Yin Tao was very relieved to hear what Xi Feng said. Looking at this male lead in front of her, Yin Tao couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. As expected of a male lead, he was smart and quick-witted.
“But little sister Xiaotao, shouldn’t you tell me the truth? A household registration officer wouldn’t have attracted the attention of someone like Liang Yi.”
As the male lead of the original novel, Xi Feng’s appearance and temperament completely matched that of a domineering president. Yin Tao couldn’t take it when he stared at her like this. She felt nervous, and a little guilty at the same time.
“Why are you interrogating my sister? Are you bullying her?” Yin Hao stood between Xi Feng and Yin Tao in dissatisfaction. “Why? Do you look down on the police?”
Because of Yin Ning, Yin Hao did not want to tell Xi Feng about Yin Tao’s profession. After all, this would let Xi Feng know that Yin Ning was lying. Yin Hao didn’t want to ruin the relationship between Yin Ning and Xi Feng.
“I just want to remind Xiaotao that Liang Yi is not someone to be trifled with. It’s best to be careful.” Xi Feng looked at Yin Tao and stopped asking.
“Brother Xi Feng knows Liang Yi very well?” Yin Tao felt that Xi Feng couldn’t be a bad person. After all, he was the only male lead in the novel.
“Not really. I’ve only heard some rumors about him.” Xi Feng wasn’t lying. Between Liang Yi and Yin Tao, he trusted Yin Tao more.
“Brother Xi Feng, the reason why Liang Yi and I know each other isn’t because of my profession. Brother Feng and I have met him before.”
Yin Tao thought about it and decided to remind Xi Feng, “Liang Yi might be related to the black market. Brother Xi Feng, you’d better be wary of him. Don’t be implicated by him.”
When Xi Feng heard this, he said to her gratefully, “Xiaotao, thank you for your reminder. I’ll be more careful.”
When the valet arrived, Yin Hao and Yin Tao bade farewell to Xi Feng, and got into the car.
“Sister, how did you meet Liang Yi?” Yin Hao really couldn’t understand how a forensic doctor like Yin Tao could get involved with the black market.
“Brother Feng and I met him when we were working on a case.”
“You are a forensic…” Yin Hao noticed the gaze in the driver’s rearview mirror and lowered his voice. “You’re just a little girl. Why are you investigating a case?!”
Yin Tao knew that her brother was worried about her safety, so she pouted and said, “So what if I’m a girl? Besides, I am with Brother Feng, there won’t be any danger.”
“What do you know? Feng Jing himself is a danger!” Yin Hao was slightly agitated. He couldn’t help but be slightly worried when he heard that Yin Tao was always hanging out with Feng Jing.
Looking at Yin Tao’s puzzled gaze, Yin Hao sighed and explained patiently, “Do you know that Feng Jing has cracked many cases in the Municipal Public Security Bureau?”
Yin Tao nodded. She had heard Bai Luo mention Feng Jing’s meritorious service before. It seemed that he was quite successful in the police force.
“He sustained a lot of injuries in the process…”
