Ling Zhenfei said, "Call them imdiately and tell them the plan has changed. Have them go sowhere else."
Jingjing used Feng Zilong's phone to scroll through the contacts, found the person, and then made the call.
Soone answered quickly, still sounding half-awake and clearly displeased.
But since the call was from Feng Zilong, he didn't dare not to pick up. However, upon hearing Jingjing's voice, Yu Tenglong was imdiately unhappy.
"What's going on, calling so early."
Jingjing said, "Have you forgotten the mission Boss gave you today?"
Yu Tenglong replied, "The mission is in the afternoon. What ti is it now?"
Jingjing said, "The plan has changed. Originally, you were supposed to go to Wan Xiulin, but Ling Zhenfei won't arrive until around noon. Boss said you should get to the airport early to wait for Ling Zhenfei."
Yu Tenglong said, "This isn't right. Isn't the airport assassination supposed to be your job? How did it beco ours?"
Jingjing replied, "Didn't you hear, second brother? We were attacked by a mysterious person when we ca back ho. I'm still in pain now and can't go."
Yu Tenglong laughed and said, "Are you sure it's from the mysterious person and not from Boss Feng?"
"You're so an, second brother!" Jingjing said playfully.
Jingjing was indeed quite talented at making up stories. Ling Zhenfei felt lucky; without the leverage he held over Jingjing, he might have been twisted around her finger.
Moreover, Ling Zhenfei's absolute power ensured that Jingjing would not dare make any other moves.
Yu Tenglong said, "Tell Boss to take care of himself. We're counting on him for our rise to power. Dying at the enemy's hands is one thing, but dying because of you would be a real sha."
Jingjing said, "You're always teasing , second brother. Take care of yourself too, with all the won around you."
Yu Tenglong laughed heartily, "We can discuss that later."
The two hung up, and Ling Zhenfei felt relieved. Things were clear now, regardless of anything else.
The ultimate destination for those people was Wan Xiulin, and maybe he could save Xiao Yun there.
Once Ling Zhenfei had thought everything through, he took Jingjing and left. After having a quick breakfast downstairs at the hotel, he asked Jingjing to drive toward Wan Xiulin.
In the car, Jingjing curiously asked Ling Zhenfei, "Is the person you're rescuing your girlfriend?"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head, "Just an ordinary friend, I'd say."
Jingjing was incredulous, "How's that possible? If she's just an ordinary friend, why risk so much to save her?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Relationships aren't just about interests; there's emotion too. So what if it's just a friend? Shouldn't they be saved if they're in danger?
Moreover, why did they capture Xiao Yun? It was to draw over. If I go, Xiao Yun will be safe. If I don't, she's in great danger, so I must go."
Jingjing looked shocked. Such a thing was very hard for her to understand.
A person would risk life and limb for just an ordinary friend. Courageous actions, like entering a tiger's den knowingly, were rare.
Jingjing asked, "If you were captured, would soone risk their life to save you?"
Jingjing's question made Ling Zhenfei pause. If he were really captured, who would co to save him?
Ling Zhenfei said, "Many people would probably co to save because I've saved many people."
Jingjing laughed, "But you're not them. How do you know for sure they would co to your rescue?"
Ling Zhenfei paused again. Jingjing's words had so truth in them. He truly didn't know who would risk everything for him if sothing happened.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're not them either, so how would you know they wouldn't co? If I treat every friend as I imagine, then they will surely co."
Jingjing laughed, "Having a friend like you must be nice, though people like you are rare."
The car drove quickly, heading out of the city.
Tangcheng is a very famous city, ancient and even once a national capital, surrounded by nurous historical sites.
Especially tombs. So-called Wan Xiulin is actually a famous location for burial sites.
Because it's surrounded by tombs, it feels ominous and eerie, rarely visited except by grave robbers.
Even grave robbers don't dare co brazenly; they usually act at night, so the place is almost deserted during the day.
Ling Zhenfei had Jingjing park the car from a distance. Prepared while still in the car, they planned because there were many tombs and monunts around, even vendors selling incense and candles by the roadside.
Ling Zhenfei bought so. They got out of the car, posing as people visiting ancient tombs, heading toward Wan Xiulin.
On the way, Ling Zhenfei asked Jingjing why the place was called Wan Xiulin.
Jingjing seed familiar with the area and began to explain to Ling Zhenfei.
This place is an ancient tomb; typically, an emperor's tomb is called a mausoleum, ordinary people's burials are called tombs, and only Saint Confucius' burial place is called a forest.
It's odd that this place is also called a forest, yet it's clearly a tomb. Who is buried here remains unknown.
The massive stone tablet bears no na, no epitaph, only the words Wan Xiulin.
This stone monunt, standing five to six ters tall, looks magnificent. The words Wan Xiulin are vigorous and powerful, as if carved in with significant force, offering a spectacular sight.
With such a grand tomb, it's bound to attract grave robbers. Over the past hundred years, they've tried over a hundred tis but failed; so even lost their lives inside.
Over ti, even grave robbers treat it as a forbidden zone, rarely attempting looting, as it's not well-known to outsiders, so few visit.
Fewer people an it feels more eerie and spooky. Walking in, a chill runs down your spine.
The surrounding trees are all ancient, towering with lush foliage, heightening the ominous vibe.
Ling Zhenfei and Jingjing pretended to be a couple visiting tombs for a date, but even they felt it was a poorly planned cover, as no couple would choose this as a date spot.
Without exposing the flaws, they walked directly towards Wan Xiulin. Ancient trees lined the surroundings, requiring them to pass through the forest of towering trees.
As they stepped into the forest, suddenly seven or eight people erged to block their path.
