Chapter 1115 - 1120: An Unintentional Warning
"Lin Feng, your courage is really getting bigger and bigger, huh, actually going to fight underground boxing? And three million a match?! Are you that short of money? Why do something this dangerous? Are you trying to piss me off to death?!" Cao Ying clenched her teeth, glaring at Lin Feng with a face full of fury, speaking in a low voice. Although her volume wasn’t high, that terrifying aura of hers was definitely not an act!Lin Feng could feel her anger from Cao Ying’s chest trembling with rage. He didn’t understand why Cao Ying was this furious; he thought Li Liping had already told her about him stepping into the ring in the Treasure Ship to fight in place of Long Shaotian...
Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at Li Liping, only to see a trace of innocence appear on her face...
"Cao Ying, this... since I’m already making a move, earning a bit of pocket money isn’t bad! Anyway, it’d be a waste not to take it..." Lin Feng explained to Cao Ying with a wry smile.
"What do you mean it’d be a waste not to take it!" Cao Ying was even more enraged by Lin Feng’s nonchalant attitude. She stretched out her delicate hand and poked Lin Feng’s arm, lowering her voice as she said, "You’re gambling with your life for money! Even if you don’t care about your own body, can’t you think about the people around you? Your parents wouldn’t be willing to see you take risks either!"
The key point was, this wasn’t even a risk at all... Lin Feng smiled bitterly, a little unsure how to persuade Cao Ying. In his eyes, that pretty-boy-looking Wu Xiaofan was just a small fry he could crush in passing!
"Cao Ying... Sis, don’t worry, I won’t be in danger..." Lin Feng said to Cao Ying with a bitter smile. "It’s been so long, don’t you still know what I’m capable of?"
Cao Ying was taken aback for a moment. Lin Feng had saved her so many times that she naturally knew he was indeed very good at fighting. But she had also seen how frightening he looked when he was injured, so in the end, Cao Ying still firmly took the opposing stance...
"I don’t care... in any case, I don’t agree with you going to fight that guy in an underground match!" Cao Ying said to Lin Feng with a resolute expression, and she tried hard to explain, "Let me just ask you one thing: if he wasn’t sure he could beat you, why would he raise the stake to three million?! If things are really like you say, that he has no chance at all, then this move all the more proves that something is off in his heart!"
Lin Feng, who had originally dismissed Cao Ying’s words, suddenly froze when he heard this. He now vaguely felt that something was indeed wrong... Reasonably speaking, since Wu Xiaofan dared to come challenge him in person, he should at least have looked into Lin Feng’s record. After all, Lin Feng was someone who could go head-to-head for more than a dozen moves with Mu Family Innate expert Mu Chengfeng without falling into disadvantage. On what basis was Wu Xiaofan so confident in challenging him, and without any trace of panic on his face...
The most important thing was that when Lin Feng proposed making it a wagered fight, not only was Wu Xiaofan not the least bit surprised, he even took the initiative to raise the stake to three million...
It was as if Wu Xiaofan had expected from the very beginning that Lin Feng would bet with him, and had already prepared the three million in advance?!
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. With Cao Ying’s reminder, he finally detected a hint of conspiracy... Reasonably speaking, among the people he was familiar with in Jiangzhou, Cao Ying and Li Liping weren’t actually the closest. So why did it seem like Wu Xiaofan had some kind of precognitive ability, waiting here for him in advance?! There were two possibilities... The first possibility was that there was a very mysterious team behind Wu Xiaofan, constantly monitoring Lin Feng’s movements. Before Lin Feng received Cao Ying’s call and drove over to this BBQ Restaurant, they had already notified Wu Xiaofan to come and stage this "chance encounter"... The second possibility was that around every person Lin Feng knew in Jiangzhou, there was someone like Wu Xiaofan waiting to challenge him!
If it were just an ordinary disciple of the martial arts world issuing a challenge, neither of these possibilities would be very likely. But by sheer coincidence Lin Feng had run into Wu Xiaofan here, and that was what made it bizarre!
Almost in an instant, a term, or rather, the name of an organization popped into Lin Feng’s mind—Tiansha!
Only people from Tiansha would have such terrifying surveillance and operational capabilities!
In a flash, many things became clear in Lin Feng’s mind.
Seeing Lin Feng suddenly stiffen up, Cao Ying thought she had said something wrong. She looked at him with some concern, until he turned his head, looked at her, and said with a smile, "Sis, thanks for the reminder... I get it now!"
After throwing out such a baffling sentence, Lin Feng directly left the Korean BBQ Restaurant where Cao Ying and Li Liping were, leaving the two of them sitting at the table staring at each other with puzzled looks.
This guy, what on earth did he figure out? Why is he jumping at shadows like this, did he go crazy?!
What Cao Ying didn’t know was that the first thing Lin Feng did after leaving the BBQ Restaurant was to directly dial her father Cao Tiannan’s private number...
Once the call connected, Cao Tiannan asked in a stern tone, "Lin Feng, what do you need from me?"
"Boss Cao, there might be a big show coming up soon... Call back all your men and put them on emergency standby!" Lin Feng said calmly.
"What?!" Cao Tiannan’s voice trembled, startled by Lin Feng’s sudden words...
...
6:30 in the evening, back door of Longfeng Martial Hall.
Xie Nan was very unhappy today. Originally, when he saw Lin Feng, Zhou Yang, and Xiang Wang—who had been off in the Imperial City for over half a month—finally return, he’d been really excited, thinking they could have a good drink and some fun together that night. Who would have thought that out of nowhere he’d receive a very bizarre order from Lin Feng...
"Take all the Loyalty Gang and Hong Sect brothers under Longfeng Martial Hall to protect the non-combat staff who don’t know Martial Arts and evacuate them from the hall, with Zhu Xiuyue as a priority..."
Hearing this strange order, Xie Nan’s first reaction was shock, then he glared at Lin Feng angrily. "Brother Feng, are you telling me to flee the battlefield at the last minute?! Do you even see me as a brother who lives and dies with you?!"
With Xie Nan’s brains, of course he knew something big was about to go down tonight, and the dangerous kind at that. Yet at such a critical moment, Lin Feng was ordering him to take the brothers and run?!
How could Xie Nan not be furious!
Lin Feng understood what Xie Nan was thinking. He patted Xie Nan’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Xie Nan, I’ve always treated you as a brother, that’s why I’m giving you the toughest job... I can’t tell you who our enemy is, but believe me, I have a reason for doing this! From now on, you only have half an hour. In that half hour, only one car is allowed to drive out of Longfeng Martial Hall every three minutes. I want everyone who’s supposed to leave the hall to be gone..."
After saying this, Lin Feng leaned in close to Xie Nan’s ear and added in a low voice, "When you arrange for them to evacuate, make sure you don’t make a fuss. Let everyone leave the way they normally clock out from work!"
Xie Nan stared deeply at Lin Feng, confirming that Lin Feng really was giving him the most difficult mission and not just brushing him off, then he nodded solemnly. "Brother Feng, don’t worry, I’ll get all the brothers out safely! But if you need help, you have to tell me!"
