Li Feng learned a lot about Dark Butterfly from Wang Xi's mouth.
Of course, how much of this information is true remains unknown.
At least Li Feng wasn't naive enough to hit it off with a female assassin and consider her his woman just after spending a night together.
"Let's hope so."
Li Feng didn't say more, getting out of bed and walking into the bathroom. After showering, he didn't return to the bed.
"The bed's yours."
Li Feng said, then stepped out of the room.
Wang Xi sat on the side of the bed, watching Li Feng's back, and pouted, "Hmph, n."
Then, Wang Xi lay down on the bed, thinking about the day's events, unsure if she had made the right move.
But it would happen sooner or later, wouldn't it? At least this Li Feng was the strongest man she had ever t.
Wang Xi cald her mind. Tomorrow's arrangent was beyond her control now; everything was proceeding according to her mother's plan.
However, would Sect Master Lin Changsheng really co?
He was always elusive like a dragon, and the only one who had truly t Lin Changsheng was her mother.
Even if a Lin Changsheng showed up tomorrow, who could guarantee that person was really Lin Changsheng? Of course, Wang Xi didn't say this out loud, after all, her and Li Feng's connection wasn't love at first sight.
It was more out of necessity.
But if this Li Feng could really eliminate Lin Changsheng and her mother, Wang Xi wouldn't mind letting go.
Li Feng left the bedroom, stepping straight out of the room.
"Feng Shao."
"Send the food in."
Li Feng watched as the server pushed a dining cart in, directing them to take it inside. Bai He gave the server a look, then followed behind Li Feng.
"Feng Shao, should we keep the woman? She gives a dangerous vibe. Better to kill her."
"Keep her, she's still useful. Besides, Lin Changsheng might already be in Outer Heaven, and we'll arrange a eting ti and place for tomorrow."
Li Feng held a cigarette in his mouth, and Bai He lit it with a lighter.
"Feng Shao, any other arrangents?"
"Prepare a few outfits that fit her, plant so bugs, and as for the rest, do nothing."
Li Feng thought for a mont and said.
"Got it, I'll get it done."
Bai He nodded. Hiding bugs in clothes wasn't difficult. High-end items were practically flawless, of course, it also needed the right connections.
Li Feng switched to another room, smoked a cigarette, and reflected on his half-day with Wang Xi. Although they mostly engaged in another sort of interaction, so information ca out in their conversations.
Shi Yun, Qin Keqing.
Especially this Qin Keqing. Wang Xi shouldn't be faking it, after all, the highest level of deceit always mixes a lie in truth. That one lie in the truth is the most effective.
One cigarette burned out.
Li Feng crushed the butt and went straight to rest, everything would lean on the morning.
The night was tranquil.
Li Feng re-energized himself overnight, and the next morning, swam a few laps in the hotel pool before heading to the restaurant for breakfast.
Just as he started eating, Wang Xi, in a long dress, was brought to the restaurant. Seeing Li Feng, she approached the table and pulled out a chair.
"There's news."
"Oh, what did they say?"
Li Feng asked while eating, looking at Wang Xi, who seed to lack any sense of urgency, though it was unclear if it was deliberate or genuine.
"Sect Master Lin Changsheng has arrived in Outer Heaven. But as for the eting, my mother proposed choosing either the ti or location, and swapping them once before the eting."
Li Feng looked at Wang Xi and smirked slightly.
"Quite seamless, I have no objection."
"So will you choose the ti or the place?"
Wang Xi asked.
Li Feng raised his wrist to check the ti: "It's a bit past eight in the morning now, so let's set the eting at ten."
"Alright, I'll pass it on."
Wang Xi didn't stand up. She dialed the phone right in front of Li Feng: "eting at ten."
Just two or three seconds later.
Wang Xi hung up the phone, looked at Li Feng: "Wangjiang Tower."
"There's plenty of ti if we're going to Wangjiang Tower, let's finish breakfast first. Bai He, prepare the car."
"Yes."
Bai He went to prepare the car.
Wang Xi feasted absently on her breakfast, her side glance lingering on Li Feng, who had quite an appetite, having already polished off a serving of xiaolongbao.
"Aren't you worried about an ambush?"
Li Feng swallowed a bun and looked at Wang Xi: "Two tis for ti and place, although it doesn't completely ensure there's no ambush set, it's fairly equitable."
"Besides, even if there was an ambush, it wouldn't be at the scheduled location."
"You've realized it."
Wang Xi remarked.
Upon hearing the morning call, Wang Xi had already realized it, appearing as if Dark Butterfly offered a relatively safe proposal.
Each side proposes a ti and place and has the chance to swap once and reset the arrangent.
This makes it hard to set an ambush at the eting place.
Because both the ti and location are random.
Li Feng picked the ti first, so they chose a distant location, making it impossible to have an ambush ready without prior arrangent.
When arranging anew, Li Feng could choose the location, but the ti was already decided by the other side. Thus, he must consider locations within the ti radius, unable to set an ambush ahead in that scope.
Outer Heaven isn't huge, but it's populous with several million people, and the city's span is considerable.
However, the proposal, although fair at first glance, hides a flaw. If you think from the other side's perspective, you might overlook this point.
That is,
Li Feng's position is known, while Lin Changsheng's is concealed.
There's no way of determining whether Lin Changsheng has arrived in Outer Heaven; it's all based on their word.
As for Wang Xi,
she is rely a pawn, thus easily dismissed, Dark Butterfly wouldn't hesitate over Wang Xi.
Li Feng left the Outer Heaven Hotel, a horizontal street lay outside, with buildings on either side, so having snipers spread across the street could easily assassinate Li Feng upon leaving.
In short, all this might just be a trap.
From Wang Xi's arrival to the supposed eting arrangent – it's all a fa?ade to lure Li Feng out of Outer Heaven's protective shell.
Thus, neither ti nor place matters.
The key is to draw the tiger away from the mountain.
"I must admit, your mother is quite the talent, it's a brilliant sche."
Wang Xi bit her teeth, looking at Li Feng.
"If I said I knew nothing about this, would you believe ?"
"I believe you, why not? Anyway, you're just a pawn, sending you here was a decoy tactic, or rather, your role was to disturb and make believe in your sincerity."
"I must say, your mother is truly impressive."
