One

Then she read through several newspapers, nearly brought to tears by her anger, feeling that her lifetime of reputation was being cast aside, and how would she face society in the future? It was originally just a domestic quarrel between a couple, yet now it was portrayed so disgracefully by the reporters, tarnishing the dignity of both spouses. Who should be blamed for this?

After finishing his words, Lin Zifeng looked ahead through the windshield and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear!" He then turned around, pushed the car door, and jumped out. The guard on the car door's footboard was caught off guard and nearly stumbled. He was usually the most composed person, but now he had suddenly lost his composure, prompting Supervisor Lei to lean forward and ask, "What happened to Zifeng?"

Lin Shengnan deeply bowed and, in a delicate little voice, said: "Greetings, General."

Lin Zifeng smiled and said, "The big shot probably forgot. I only have one younger sister, and a few months ago, during the big shot's wedding, she accompanied the bride along with a group of ladies." After saying this, he gently patted the girl's back and said, "Shengnan, why don't you greet the big shot?"

Reverend Lei looked at Lin Shengnan, who was lowering her head in a pitiful manner, and felt a sense of sympathy for her. Moreover, since she was Lin Zifeng's sister, he regarded her with a bit more favor: "Where is your sister going? Bring her up here; there is a car available to take her."

Is he very knowledgeable about military affairs, skilled in leading troops in battle, and has he defeated all the enemies to become a supervisor?

Lin Shengnan did not expect this question to be directed at her. Holding her backpack silently, she remained quiet until Lin Zifeng spoke up: "She is sixteen, but she rarely goes out. Her mother indulges her excessively, so she has not made much progress and still has the temperament of a child."

Therefore, in order to remedy the previous silence, she slightly raised her head and said softly, "It is not yet sixteen; my birthday will be next month."

He has no reason to be unfaithful

Do you think he looks fierce

As Lei Duli stepped outside, he realized that today was a beautiful day. Not only was the sky a clear blue, but the flowers and trees were also beginning to sprout green buds and bloom red blossoms. A pair of magpies were flitting and chasing each other among the willow branches. Watching the magpies, he suddenly felt a sense of relief; spring, which had naturally been wronged, made Zhang Jiatian, who was far away in Wenxian, seem less detestable.

Lin Zifeng pulled over a chair and sat down at the table, casually organizing the scattered paintbrushes: "In the future, when walking on the street, you must be vigilant. Today was so dangerous; you almost lost your life."

Lin Shengnan shook his head: "Not old, just looks a bit older than you."

Bai Xuefeng immediately turned around and agreed, while Lin Zifeng, having just fastened his buttons, quickly raised his head to decline: "Oh, I cannot accept this, she is just a child, how could she be qualified to receive a gift from the great commander? The great commander is truly overestimating her."

Then he bent down and got into the car first, turning around to pull Lin Shengnan up. Lin Shengnan had always obeyed her brother's words, so at this moment, she followed Lin Zifeng's instructions and sat in the rear seat, directly facing Director Lei. She placed her backpack on her lap and held it with both hands. Since it was her first time sitting opposite a strange man, she felt too shy to look up, and her legs were tightly pressed together and positioned at an angle, making a concerted effort not to touch Director Lei in front of her. She intended to shift sideways to sit opposite her brother, but just then, the car suddenly started, causing her to lurch forward involuntarily. She did not manage to move, and her knees indeed bumped against Director Lei's shins.

Just then, he said: "One month short of seven years"

Reverend Lei smiled, feeling good, and found everyone adorable: "What date is your birthday next month?"

At this moment, Lin Shengnan's interest in painting waned, while his interest in conversation grew. He eagerly asked, "Brother, how did that young General Lei become the governor of a province?"

Lin Zifeng adopted a humble attitude and said: "Oh, I see. Then it seems that—"

Reverend Lei spoke to the front: "Xuefeng, remember the date, and prepare a gift for her then"

Reverend Lei did not pay much attention to the collision; he merely observed that the young lady from the Lin family was delicate and pale, looking pitiful and seemingly extremely embarrassed, so he casually asked, "How old are you?"

Reverend Lei knew that Lin Zifeng was a filial son, with an elderly mother at home, but he was unaware that he also had a younger sister. The younger sister greeted him, and he nodded slightly in response, then asked Lin Zifeng, "Is the child alright? Was she frightened?"

He then returned to the car and continued to accompany Director Lei to the club

Lin Zifeng pondered for a moment and replied, "He is not very old, indeed he is only a little older than me... that's all."

Commander Lei slightly raised his hand, signaling him to "stop," showing no interest in his polite words. Lin Shengnan looked at her brother in a daze—unable to discern any key points—she could only turn to Commander Lei and, blushing, said: "Thank you, General."

After seeing his mother, he headed straight to his sister's room. Lin Shengnan was bent over her desk painting with watercolors, clumsy and not very skilled. When she saw Lin Zifeng enter, she took a piece of rice paper and covered her painting, feeling a bit embarrassed, saying, "I haven't finished it yet, so I won't show it to you."

With one hand holding the girl and the other propping open the car door, Lin Zifeng leaned down and said to the driver inside the car, "My lord, I sincerely apologize. My younger sister, being young and reckless, has accidentally bumped into your esteemed vehicle."

Lin Shengnan smiled and said, "Not like it."

Lin Shengnan smiled and agreed, then repeatedly waved her hand to shoo him away. Once he had left, she picked up her brush, dipped it in the paint, and continued to apply it on the paper.

After dark, Lin Zifeng returned home

Director Lei waved his hand and said, "Do not believe that talk; it is all a facade"

It's nothing, it's nothing. She has always had the habit of being oblivious to her surroundings while walking, and today can be considered a lesson learned for her

Then a person like him must be ruthless and would kill without a second thought, right

Lin Shengnan smiled awkwardly and chose not to explain further

After finishing his words, Lin Zifeng had already run to the front of the car and helped a girl up from the ground. The girl had two braids and was dressed in a blue shirt and black skirt school uniform, with a beige leather backpack slung across her body. Lei Duli saw Lin Zifeng supporting her arm with one hand, first bending down to check her knee, then pulling out a handkerchief from his pocket to dust off the dirt from her skirt, and finally standing up to wipe her palm, while the girl, still in shock, stared wide-eyed and obediently allowed him to tend to her. He led her towards the car, and she followed him obediently.

Lin Shengnan finally realized this, and couldn't help but blush, feeling a bit scared secretly—according to her knowledge, her brother's superior was a high-ranking warlord official. Such a significant figure speaking to her while she remained indifferent; if he were to get angry and blame her brother for it, wouldn't she be causing a great disaster?

Lin Zifeng couldn't help but laugh: "His military skills—" At this point, he straightened his expression and forcefully redirected the conversation, "Naturally, they are remarkable."

Lin Zifeng slightly turned to the side, regarding him with a gaze that was neither attentive nor dismissive, yet her demeanor was very respectful: "It is said that Commander Yu has come to act as a mediator, claiming to be the president..."

This is a long story, and you wouldn't understand it even if I told you

Lin Shengnan looked at him in confusion: "Who? Is it the handsome Lei?"

This is the conclusion

Yes, it is him

Not fierce

What is not like?

"You just listen, why are you being so stubborn?"

When it comes to the past, emotions surge so intensely that he cannot utter a single word. The car slowly came to a stop in front of the Lin family gate. He, as if awakening from a dream, got out of the car first and then helped his sister down. For a brief moment, he thought about shoving his sister into the courtyard, closing the gate, and never allowing her to see those people outside again. However, after that fleeting moment, he calmed down and observed coldly as his sister, clutching her backpack, stood outside the car like a primary school student, bowing, thanking, and bidding farewell to Director Lei inside the car.

Lin Zifeng answered without hesitation: "Seven years"

Lin Shengnan smiled shyly and with a hint of embarrassment: "Cars have been passing by on that street for a long time. I waited for quite a while, and growing impatient, I thought about finding an opportunity to rush across..."

Ray looked at him and then said, "You really had a hard time back then, with your mother in poor health and such a young sister to take care of."

Lin Zifeng also glanced at Lei Duli, but did not speak—at that time, it was indeed difficult; the family was impoverished, his mother was gravely ill and urgently needed money for treatment, and his younger sister was also a frail little sickly child. He was just a scholar without the strength to lift a chicken. He had no way to suddenly acquire a large sum of money to save his mother, nor could he bear to watch her suffer and die at home. No matter how he thought about it, he felt utterly hopeless, until he met Lei Duli.

After some hesitation, he smiled at Commander Lei and said, "Thank you, General. I won't be polite then. Given her current state, I truly cannot feel at ease letting her walk home alone."

At that time, Lei Duli was not yet a governor, but he already possessed enough power to save himself from peril. He emerged from that danger with his family in tow, and has continued on to this day. Therefore, in front of Lei Duli, he likens himself to a loyal minister, feeling no remorse in his heart

He doesn't look like a big leader. I thought that those who become big leaders are all old men

After saying this, he reached out to lift the large piece of rice paper covering the painting, only to find that his sister's painting skills had not improved at all; in fact, they had deteriorated day by day. The random strokes made it impossible to discern what she was trying to depict. He no longer wished to appreciate it and simply stood up, saying: "You should rest early, no staying up late. Make sure to take the blood tonic we bought last time on time. Moreover, at your age, you should learn to be courteous. If General Lei really sends you a birthday gift next month, you should think of a way to thank him, do you understand?"

Do you not see that he is not old

Ray nodded noncommittally and then began to converse with Lin Zifeng: "How long have you been by my side?"

Lin Shengnan was unsure whether to respond, and she raised her eyes to look at her brother. However, Lin Zifeng was focused on fastening the buttons of his coat and did not notice her gaze

Lin Zifeng paused for a moment in silence, then suddenly smiled, becoming amiable: "However, today is quite a coincidence, as I happened to encounter General Lei's car. What do you think of him?"

Bai Xuefeng anticipated that he would go out this afternoon, so he had the chauffeurs prepare the cars in advance. Lin Zifeng followed him out the main door, and he got into the car, with Lin Zifeng also getting in. The two of them sat side by side in the back seat. Director Lei was in good spirits and began to chat casually with Lin Zifeng: "Old Yu is not someone who easily changes his location. I believe that this time he comes to Beijing, he must have something significant to accomplish."

He had not finished his sentence when the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, and he was jolted forward by inertia, startled. Bai Xuefeng, sitting in the passenger seat, hurriedly turned around to check on the safety of Director Lei: "General, it's fine, it was just a child crossing the road recklessly, we nearly ran over her"

Then she withdrew her gaze and answered honestly: "12."

Leiduli crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him with confusion: "Do you have a sister?"

Lin Zifeng leaned against the car door, clearly hesitating for a moment
