With that, Li Liping was about to head out excitedly, ready to find Li Hong and Long Shaotian to negotiate for Wu Mei's release...
"Hey, hey... wait a moment, Liping..." Wu Mei blurted out, startled. Her expression faltered as she hurriedly grabbed Li Liping's arm.
Li Liping turned back. Seeing Wu Mei's hesitant expression, she assumed Wu Mei was afraid to say something. After shooting Lin Feng a glare full of ill intent, Li Liping declared magnanimously, "Sister Mei, just say whatever's on your mind. Don't be scared. I refuse to believe Lin Feng would dare do anything to you! Even if he dares to disrespect me, he wouldn't dare disrespect my cousin... Hmph!"
Wu Mei gave a wry smile. She was actually a bit curious now about who this cousin of Li Liping's was, the one Li Liping held in such high esteem.
"Actually, being assigned to serve Lin Feng... I... I'm willing..." Wu Mei confessed to Li Liping, her face flushing slightly as she stole a quick glance at Lin Feng.
