The Prisoner Who Came Back a King
Chapter 46 – The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment
Ye Feng was deep in thought.
He remembered his former mentor.
So many years had passed, and he must have retired by now. It had been five or six years since Ye Feng last saw him.
Upon hearing that the teacher was not in good health, Ye Feng quickly asked, "Weiwei, how is the teacher?"
Su Weiwei replied slowly, "I haven't seen Mr. Tu for many years either, but I heard he has some trouble with his legs."
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt relieved.
After thinking for a moment, he decided that attending the class reunion might not be a bad idea.
Previously, he had resisted the idea, as those past accusations had deeply disappointed and even shamed his teachers.
Although he was wrongfully imprisoned, he couldn't defend himself.
Now, in the eyes of many, he was no longer the once-promising academic star, but a subject of ridicule, a convict.
However, he had regained control of his company and was still the same Ye Feng. Perhaps there were things he needed to explain to his teacher.
Meeting once wasn't a big deal.
"Weiwei, how about I go with you tomorrow?"
Ye Feng made up his mind.
He agreed to Su Weiwei's request.
By this time, the dishes had been served.
As they ate, they discussed Su Weiwei's plans to start a clothing company.
Ye Feng wasn't an expert in the clothing industry, so he could only offer advice on business models.
As for the actual execution, that was up to Su Weiwei. This was where Ye Feng's wisdom lay.
In the early days of his business, he was excellent at utilizing talent. Anyone capable was given a platform to excel.
Whether it was Zheng Guozhong or Li Song, they were both promoted this way.
As a classmate, Ye Feng had no intention of making Su Weiwei his subordinate; he simply wanted to help her.
While Ye Feng was having dinner, over at the company, under Zheng Guozhong's careful arrangements, Xuanxuan was sent back to Mengsi Company.

The regular employees of Mengsi Company were on holiday, only some management staff were still working.
Returning to the company, she went straight to Liu Yingying's office.
"Xuanxuan, what happened to you?"
Seeing Xuanxuan's disheveled appearance, Liu Yingying hurriedly came over to ask with concern.
Koko wasn't there today; she had been taken by Liu Yingying's parents.
"It was that pervert Luo Ren, he bullied me today."
Back at the company, Xuanxuan still looked aggrieved, her eyes red.
She recounted what happened at Yunfeng Group to Liu Yingying.
After listening, Liu Yingying frowned, looking at Xuanxuan's torn clothes, regretting, "I shouldn't have let you go."
"Yingying, luckily the president of Yunfeng Group intervened, otherwise I can't imagine the consequences."
The more Yingying thought about it, the angrier she became. "Xuanxuan, we can't let this go, we need to call the police and make him pay."
"Even if it means not collaborating with Yunfeng Group."
Liu Yingying's eyes were filled with anger.
She was truly furious.
Although the collaboration with Yunfeng Group was important for Mengsi, she didn't want to give it up.
But if the other party was really so overbearing, Liu Yingying wouldn't let it slide easily.
Xuanxuan, though officially her secretary, was like a sister to her, helping with many things.
In Mengsi Company, Xuanxuan's position wasn't high, but in terms of authority, she was second only to Liu Yingying.
Hearing Yingying's words, Xuanxuan shook her head and said, "Yingying, the president of Yunfeng Group has already dealt with Luo Ren."
Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that her bestie was unharmed, otherwise, she would have felt guilty for a lifetime.
"Yingying, there's something I want to tell you."
Xuanxuan calmed herself and spoke seriously.
"What is it?"
Liu Yingying asked curiously.
"The other day at Liancheng Mall, I saw a man who looked just like Koko's father. I saw him again at Yunfeng Group."
"Does he work at Yunfeng Group? Xuanxuan, take me to see him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yingying became excited, losing her usual composure, and tightly grabbed Xuanxuan's hand, a bit out of control.
Xuanxuan shook her head and said, "Yingying, we were wrong, he's not Koko's father."
"I asked the president of Yunfeng Group, Li Hai, and he's just the son of one of their clients."
Xuanxuan confirmed.
She hadn't actually seen Yunfeng, and the photos of Ye Feng from years ago didn't quite match the person now.
She didn't think Zheng Guozhong would lie to her, and given Ye Feng's criminal record, it was impossible for him to be out.
So she was convinced that it was just a resemblance, not Yingying's former man.
After hearing this, Liu Yingying slumped onto the office sofa, looking drained.
Her expression was full of disappointment.
It seemed she had expected too much from Ye Feng. Despite her resentment towards him, she still hoped he was the one because of Koko's longing for her father.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Indeed.
How could he be out?
Given his crimes, even death wouldn't be excessive.
How could he regain freedom in just a few years?
After a long time, Liu Yingying slowly came back to her senses and murmured, "I guess I've been overthinking lately."
"Yingying, don't think too much about it!"
Xuanxuan quickly comforted her.
She knew Liu Yingying had been troubled by many things recently, especially the pressure from the Liu family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have represented Yingying in negotiations with a big group like Yunfeng.
Liu Yingying, ever the businesswoman, quickly regained her composure after a brief lapse.
Her face regained its brightness, and she said softly, "Let's not worry about this anymore, just don't mention him in front of Koko."
"Go change your clothes, there's some in my dressing room."
"Okay!"
Xuanxuan responded softly.
She swayed her impressive figure and headed to the dressing room in Liu Yingying's office.
She didn't have spare clothes there, but her figure was similar to Liu Yingying's.
She changed into Liu Yingying's clothes.
After changing, she held the trench coat in her hands, unsure of what to do.
She wondered if she should return the coat, but after thinking about it, she folded it neatly.
Returning outside, Xuanxuan said to Liu Yingying, "Yingying, we were looking at the wrong person before."
"That beast Luo Ren deliberately avoided signing the contract with us for a reason."
"This time, with President Zheng's intervention, it was settled with just a word."
Just as Liu Yingying was about to speak, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw it was her mother's number.
Answering the call, she heard a heart-wrenching cry.
"Mom... Mom... I don't want to stay at Grandpa's, come get Koko!"
