After rejecting Jiang Yun’er’s invitation, Lin Feng stopped what he was doing, just in case. He had the whole night anyway, which was more than enough time for the Armored RV’s upgrade to finish.

Taking advantage of the break, he pulled out the portable folding table and chairs stored under the RV’s chassis. He asked Chen Yanyan to brew a pot of tea and prepare some snacks so they could relax for a while and enjoy the moonlit night.

It was a chance to both relax and celebrate his impending breakthrough to Tier One Late Stage, as well as the completion of the RV’s weapon upgrades.

After tonight, the pair’s overall strength would leap several levels higher. They would even be able to easily handle an army of over a hundred Black Spine Zergs.

They would even have a way to deal with the Cyan-winged Swarm that had worried them before, no longer having to be so passive.

Chen Yanyan’s Superpower, combined with the three Machine Cannons, could even unleash a barrage with firepower rivaling a Lv. 16 Machine Cannon in a short period.

A pot of hot tea was soon brewed. Accompanied by some pastries and cookies, the two sat at the table and chatted idly, touching upon Chen Yanyan’s family background.

This girl, who had come from the Northwest Mountains, was about to begin her own legendary life.

A short while later, just as Lin Feng was thinking Jiang Yun’er wouldn’t make another move, the luxury RV parked in the distance actually started driving over.

He never thought the day would come when the famous superstar Jiang Yun’er would lower herself to come and negotiate in person.

’Either those two paparazzi who died this evening were very important, or she has recognized the reality of her situation and has a favor to ask.’

Regardless, when this national goddess, this top-tier superstar who was as beautiful as a celestial fairy, extended a slender leg from the side door of the RV...

Even though she wore a white silk veil that covered most of her face, Lin Feng was still stunned by her heavenly beauty.

Jiang Yun’er was wearing an elegant nightgown set. Her top was a simple white silk blouse, layered with a black sheer shawl. Below, she wore a slim-fitting, three-quarter length skirt that only revealed the lower half of her calves.

It made her look demure and quiet, yet the sight of her long, shapely calves sent one’s imagination running wild.

This half-revealed, half-concealed look played perfectly on a person’s desire to know more.

Especially when she took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright, alluring eyes that were exceptionally captivating, making one instantly feel a sense of pity and a desire to protect her.

If an ordinary person’s charm was just a passing grade, then Jiang Yun’er’s was a perfect score. She seemed to be born with a maxed-out favorability rating. Even someone like Lin Feng, who hated trouble, couldn’t help but feel his heart stir the moment he saw her in person.

No wonder Chen Yanyan couldn’t help but want to speak up for her after seeing her earlier.

Even other women found Jiang Yun’er unbelievably beautiful, let alone impulsive men.

There was probably no one in the world who could ignore her stunning beauty.

Lin Feng had seen photos of her online and in the films and shows she had starred in, but just as Chen Yanyan had said, the woman before him was far more beautiful in real life than on camera.

It seemed no camera could truly capture her beauty; any other method of recording it, aside from witnessing it in person, resulted in a regrettable loss of fidelity.

Lin Feng had never seen a woman so beautiful. And though she seemed to be a few years younger than him, she already held the title of the world’s most beautiful woman.

Now, her unexpected arrival had shattered the peaceful late-night chat, instantly changing the atmosphere in the repair shop.

But Jiang Yun’er seemed to make herself right at home. Her smiling face revealed little emotion as she bid farewell to the guards behind her, strolled into the repair shop, and stopped in front of Lin Feng and Yanyan.

"As you wished, I’ve come, Mr. Lin."

Her calm and gentle tone was exactly the same as in her shows, exuding a strange sense of friendliness.

Lin Feng replied without thinking:

"Please, sit."

Jiang Yun’er gave a slight nod and walked to a chair at the table. She sat down, crossing her legs and, in a casual flash of beauty, revealed their perfect proportions.

Jiang Yun’er was nearly 1.7 meters tall. Although not as tall as the model-like Chen Yanyan, she was still taller than most women, and her long, shapely legs were by no means inferior to Chen Yanyan’s...

Under the light, her nightclothes had a magical, semi-translucent effect. With an Awakener’s powerful vision, one could faintly make out the stunning figure hidden beneath the fabric.

Not only did Jiang Yun’er have gorgeous legs, but her upper body was even more buxom than Zhang Yurou’s. The deep cleavage was simply hidden by her comfortable nightclothes and not immediately apparent.

With such a perfect combination of proportions, her figure and face came together to form the most beautiful body in the world.

Facing the beautiful woman’s gaze, even Lin Feng was slightly dazed. Beside him, Chen Yanyan, a woman herself, felt not a trace of jealousy, only awe and admiration.

"Mr. Lin, I was wondering if you’ve seen two members of my film crew. This afternoon, they followed your RV when it left the service area..."

"They still haven’t returned. Perhaps they got lost."

After taking her seat, Jiang Yun’er tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and spoke softly. Her hazy eyes held a pitiable look, making one subconsciously want to tell her the truth.

Lin Feng’s mouth fell slightly open, his mind a blank. He felt an uncontrollable urge to reveal the whereabouts of the two paparazzi.

But at that very moment, the good habit Lin Feng had maintained ever since getting the system—to use Identification on everything—finally paid off!

It directly and automatically scanned and analyzed the impossibly beautiful woman before him:

[Jiang Yun’er, Lv. 7/9]

[Life Value 40, Physique 35, Spirit 50]

[Superpower Awakening: Mind Control (Charm Aura. Can make all living things have a favorable impression of her, subtly influencing the thoughts of those around her. The effect is lost with distance.)]

[Note: The host’s mental State is slightly affected. You are easily swayed when your own interests and safety are not threatened.]

Seeing the Identification data appear before him, along with the final warning note, Lin Feng snapped his mouth shut, stopping the words that were right on the tip of his tongue.

He was now wide awake, but he seamlessly returned to his previous expression of admiration and desire so as not to give himself away.

This was to avoid tipping her off and arousing suspicion.

’A woman this dangerous can only be handled by me alone. Chen Yanyan would give the game away if she stayed.’

Lin Feng immediately raised a hand and gently placed it on the shoulder of the woman beside him, rousing her as he spoke in a steady voice:

"It’s getting late, and Miss Jiang and I have important matters to discuss. You should go back to the RV and rest. I’ll handle things here."

Perhaps it was because Lin Feng’s words were firm and convincing, or perhaps Chen Yanyan already trusted his commands without question...

After Lin Feng spoke, even though she hadn’t fully snapped out of it, Chen Yanyan still believed him. She swallowed the explanation she was about to offer, stood up from her chair, and returned to the RV.

In the quiet of the deep night, even the figures at the construction site had dwindled.

This service area wasn’t a primary battlefront; its importance and priority weren’t that high. So after seven or eight o’clock, all the workers clocked out and went home. They didn’t work in two or three shifts.

And in the dead-quiet repair shop, only a man and a woman remained, sitting across from each other.

Jiang Yun’er couldn’t help but tremble slightly. After all, she was now facing who was likely the most powerful Awakener in all of Jiangnan Province.

She wasn’t confident she could bewitch him, not even enough to make him admit to the murder.

That’s right—the two crew members who had tailed him were pawns Jiang Yun’er had intentionally deployed. The goal was to make Lin Feng slip up, giving her leverage to blackmail, and then gradually erode his will and control him.

At this critical moment...

If only Lin Feng would admit it, if only he would speak the truth...

The recording pen clutched in her palm, as well as the camera hidden behind the window of the luxury RV behind her, would capture direct evidence of Lin Feng’s crime.

Although the Federation’s attitude toward Awakeners was ambiguous, even showing them partiality and preferential treatment...

...as an official entity, they couldn’t openly champion a criminal. If she used her own influence to fan the flames, Lin Feng would either have to cooperate obediently and be at her mercy, or he would be abandoned by the Thirteenth Division. Even the Administration Bureau wouldn’t be able to openly continue using him.

But the foundation for this entire plan now hinged on this final step—on a single sentence.

Lin Feng sent the woman beside him away, then drew the pistol from his waist and placed it on the table. The dark muzzle was aimed at the stunning beauty before him, whose palms were now sweating.

But the words that came out of his mouth next were not what Jiang Yun’er expected...

Instead, they plunged her into an icy abyss in an instant.

Lin Feng steepled his fingers, looked at the beautiful woman before him, and said calmly:

"You’re truly talented. I’ve rarely seen someone awaken a Spiritual Type Superpower after only seven enhancements."

"It’s just a pity you’re too arrogant. If you had completed your final Tier One Awakening, perhaps I really would have been bewitched by you."

"Oh, that’s right..."

"Your purpose in coming here was to achieve that full Awakening."
