So, that’s how it is! Lin Feng suddenly had a feeling of epiphany.
It turned out that when the Violent Organization’s attempt to kidnap Ning Aoxue failed, Lin Feng had obtained a confession from them stating that the Qinglong Group was the mastermind behind their actions.
Initially, Lin Feng believed Long Shaotian was the one who had ordered the Violent Organization to target Ning Fuxun. This belief was further cented when he saw Cao Tiannan, the mayor of Jiangzhou City, diating a eting between Ning Fuxun and Long Shaotian, the President of the Qinglong Group.
However, certain events on the Treasure Ship led Lin Feng to change his perspective.
If Long Shaotian truly held imnse power within the formidable Qinglong Group, why were so few experts in the Qingzi Sect willing to follow him?
It even reached a point where Lin Feng had to reluctantly agree to assist Long Shaotian, single-handedly securing a victory for him in a gamble against the battle hall. As a token of gratitude, Long Shaotian even gave Lin Feng a VIP card granting unrestricted complintary services.
This level of treatnt, while surprising, also struck him as odd. Long Shaotian’s actions didn’t resemble those of a powerful underworld figure; he seed more like a businessman.
Then, Long Shaotian suddenly sent Long Xiaoyun out to gain experience, even directing him to Fenghuo Bar, owned by Xie Nan, one of Lin Feng’s closest friends, and entrusted Lin Feng with looking after him.
This again felt wrong to Lin Feng. Was it necessary for the son of the Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect’s headquarters to venture out and take such risks?
Later, when Fan Yang accidentally captured Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, Lin Feng rescued the two won with the help of n sent by Long Shaotian. At that ti, Lin Feng even contemplated eliminating Fan Yang for Long Shaotian and seizing his territory. However, Long Shaotian curbed Lin Feng’s impulse and said sothing that puzzled him...
"They have more people. If we truly fall out with them, we’ll be the ones to suffer more..."
At the ti, Lin Feng found it strange. Why would Long Shaotian, as the Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect’s Jiangzhou Hall, be so wary of Chen Ming? Now, after hearing Wu i’s explanation, Lin Feng finally understood.
"The battle hall is the true power within the Qingzi Sect! The so-called headquarters rely manages the Qingzi Sect’s businesses..." Lin Feng said, frowning. "So, does that an Chen Ming has been the one truly stirring up trouble all along? And Long Shaotian has mostly been a scapegoat?"
"That’s exactly it," Wu i nodded and said to Lin Feng. "However, Long Shaotian isn’t entirely without power. He controls the vast majority of the funds for the entire Jiangzhou Hall of the Qingzi Sect. That’s also why Chen Ming suddenly attacked Long Shaotian today."
"Money is a good thing; naturally, everyone wants it!" Lin Feng said with a smile. "So, it seems Chen Ming is just an ordinary person after all."
"This evening, Chen Ming brought only a few experts to find Long Shaotian. He intended to directly force Long Shaotian to hand over all the account books and bank account passwords. However, Long Shaotian was prepared. He handed over falsified accounts to delay Chen Ming and his n, secretly evacuated all his personnel, and had soone set fire to the data room at the Tianxing Club." Wu i revealed the true cause of the fire at the Tianxing Club to Lin Feng.
So Long Shaotian had his own people set the fire. No wonder it was so fierce, yet there were few casualties! Lin Feng learned another fact.
"When Chen Ming saw the fire, he realized he’d been tricked, which is why he ordered his n to open fire," Wu i nodded. "Long Shaotian couldn’t escape in ti and was hit by a stray bullet. He then fled here through a secret passage with , Yan Su, and a few of his trusted subordinates."
Lin Feng was speechless... He wondered if Wu i and Yan Su were exceptionally good actors, or if Long Shaotian was just a terrible judge of character. It was sowhat understandable that he hadn’t known they were undercover before. But to still consider them trusted confidants at such a critical life-or-death juncture... He truly was courting death!
"Now is the perfect ti to apprehend Long Shaotian. That’s what I suggested, because once Long Shaotian is captured, I can complete my mission. Although Long Shaotian hasn’t committed any overtly criminal acts related to organized cri, he has nurous financial irregularities that are enough to imprison him for over a decade," Wu i said to Lin Feng with a smile. "However, after I secretly reported the situation here to my superiors, they didn’t approve my suggestion. Instead, they instructed to continue my undercover assignnt, so I have to remain here for the ti being."
Continue to stay undercover? Lin Feng frowned. He couldn’t understand the point of Wu i continuing her undercover work now. At most, staying would only earn Long Shaotian’s trust. If Chen Ming discovered this hideout, Wu i could be in danger. Besides, Long Shaotian was already a fugitive; what was the use of gaining his trust?
Unless...
Lin Feng reluctantly arrived at a conclusion.
"My superiors want to find the funds Long Shaotian has hidden," Wu i said calmly. "The Qinglong Group, under Long Shaotian’s control, is currently missing eight billion in cash. That portion of money was managed solely by Long Shaotian. Therefore, only by staying with him is there a chance to locate this cash, which could be anywhere or in any form by now."
I knew it... Lin Feng said helplessly. In the end, it always cos down to money!
At that mont, Lin Feng suddenly looked up at Wu i and said earnestly, "Wu i, why don’t you just leave? Long Shaotian is unlikely to reveal everything to you now anyway. Your departure won’t affect the bigger picture. At worst, he’ll assu you fled out of fear. He’ll never suspect you’re a special agent with the police."
"I can’t leave," Wu i gently touched Lin Feng’s face and said with a smile. "I can’t disobey my superiors’ arrangents. Besides, Yan Su is still here. If I stay, I can provide him so cover. If I leave, he’ll be in even greater danger."
"What does his danger have to do with you?" Lin Feng felt a pang of frustration when Yan Su was ntioned. He looked at Wu i intently and said, "He’s not like you. You’re my woman, and I don’t want you to take any more risks!"
"In any case, I can’t leave," Wu i said to Lin Feng with a bittersweet smile. "Lin Feng, you know, I’m so happy... I’m so happy that you acknowledge as your woman."
"Why wouldn’t I acknowledge it?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"I don’t want others to know," Wu i shook her head, bit her lower lip, and said to Lin Feng with an alluring look, "I don’t want anyone else to know about our true relationship."
Lin Feng understood Wu i’s underlying fear... She had a severe phobia of marriage. He wanted to help her, but he knew it wasn’t sothing that could be rushed.
"Lin Feng, do one more thing for ," Wu i suddenly took a USB flash drive from her clothes and handed it to Lin Feng, whispering, "Help deliver this to the Jiangzhou City police."
"What’s this?" Lin Feng asked casually, holding the USB flash drive.
"It’s classified!" Wu i looked at Lin Feng and said playfully, "But, if you want to take a look, feel free!"
