Uncle Shenhao: Take ten nephews to the supermarket at the beginning
Chapter 1399 An Unexpected New Ally
Zheng Zhilong sneered.
“Mr. Luo, you really can’t blame me. Blame yourself for insisting on getting involved in this conflict.”
"Are you really that sure you can take me in?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
"I didn't know you were in such a passive position, what gives you the confidence to say such things to me?"
Zheng Zhilong found Luo Feng's appearance extremely distasteful.
He hates pretentious people the most.
"Don't forget, this is Europe, not China. Your influence is useless here."
"Now you have no way out, so just do as I say."
In fact, what Zheng Zhilong wanted was very simple compared to the Shadow Council.
He didn't even intend to take Luo Feng's life, which was already quite kind of him.
However, what Luo Feng hates most is being threatened.
Team Leader Chen is already in position, and Lin Naizi is also keeping an eye on the situation in the vicinity, and will immediately inform him if there are any problems.
Luo Feng is not passive now; on the contrary, he is quite proactive.
He had the power in his hands, but his biggest worry was that his aunt would deliberately instigate Zheng Zhilong to harm him and take the opportunity to do the same to everyone else around her.
This makes things more difficult.
After all, a person's energy is limited.
"How about we listen to another child's voice?"
Seeing that Luo Feng still didn't react, Zheng Zhilong mocked again.
Luo Feng's pupils contracted suddenly, but returned to normal in an instant.
“Young Master Zheng, you have some skill.” Luo Feng slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket. “However, you made a mistake. My niece is singing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ today.”
"So, the children's voices in your video are not theirs."
Zheng Zhilong's expression changed slightly.
In fact, he didn't even know whether his men had succeeded or not, or whether the person he had succeeded with was Luo Feng's niece.
He himself had never seen what those little girls looked like.
"What? Now you have nothing to say?"
Seeing Zheng Zhilong's expression, Luo Feng already guessed that the other party probably hadn't succeeded at all, but was just trying to trick him into obeying his orders.
However, this is quite interesting, at least it lets Luo Feng know what the Zheng family is after.
"So, Young Master Zheng, what are your thoughts now?"
The fierce look on Zheng Zhilong's face vanished instantly after Luo Feng exposed his lie, and his hand holding the weapon trembled slightly.
He suddenly took two steps back, plopped down on a rusty iron box next to him, and let out a heavy sigh, "Mr. Luo, I admit defeat..."
Luo Feng stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression calm, but a faint smile played on his lips. "What's wrong with Young Master Zheng? Weren't you just so confident that I would exchange your sister's head for the genuine article?"
"Mr. Luo, please don't make fun of me." Zheng Zhilong raised his head, his eyes full of helplessness and resentment, and had no choice but to speak.
“I am indeed no match for you, nor for my sister. You saw through everything long ago, while I… am nothing but a clown.”
He stood up, slowly walked to Luo Feng, bowed, and spoke with a hint of pleading in his voice.
"I beg you, please help me. As long as you're willing to help me deal with Zheng Shih-han and let me take the position of heir to the Zheng family, I'll agree to any condition you set!"
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at him with interest, and said with a playful smile, "Young Master Zheng, why do you think I should help you? What benefit would I get from helping you deal with your sister?"
"If you want the original 'Immortal Mountain in the Eastern Sea' painting, I can help you!"
Zheng Zhilong said with a very anxious expression, "I know some of my father's secrets, and I also know the distribution of the Zheng family's influence in Russia."
"Once I become the heir of the Zheng family, all those resources will be at your disposal."
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, still noncommittal, but his expression seemed to indicate that he was moved.
After a pause, Zheng Zhilong continued, "Moreover, I can also help you deal with the Shadow Council!"
To be honest, he felt he had no way to win over Luo Feng.
The best approach now is to find a way to get Luo Feng to cooperate with him.
The advantage of this is that he will have a new, even more powerful, ally when dealing with his sister in the future.
"Oh?"
A glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes, and he sneered, "What makes you think you can help me deal with the Shadow Council?"
"As far as I know, your sister is a high-ranking member of the Shadow Council, while you, it seems, have no connection with the Shadow Council, right?"
Luo Feng was not surprised that the other party had such thoughts.
What he couldn't understand was that, given the Zheng family's fragmented nature, internal strife, and the fact that the Shadow Council would still support such a family.
Could there be some hidden story behind this?
But whatever the hidden story, Zheng Zhilong probably doesn't know it and wouldn't tell him everything he knows.
after all……
This guy is also a ruthless person.
But at least Luo Feng admired him for doing this.
Moreover, sooner or later, the other party will definitely be able to carve out their own niche.
Zheng Zhilong sneered and looked at him with a mocking expression.
"That's how it appears on the surface, but actually... I've known about my sister's dealings with the Shadow Council for a long time."
“My father also suspected something, but he never had any evidence. I investigated secretly for a long time and have some clues about the Shadow Council’s activities in Oklahoma City. If you are willing to help me, I can give you these clues.”
He was really unhappy about being looked down upon. If he didn't need Luo Feng's help, he would have turned around and left long ago.
Luo Feng remained silent, his gaze sweeping over Zheng Zhilong as if weighing the pros and cons.
He indeed lacked his own cooperative forces in Europe.
If Zheng Zhilong can really do as he says, then it would indeed be a good thing for Luo Feng.
A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.
Although Luo Feng can rival the Zheng family with his own power, that's not all.
If it were truly a war of attrition, Luo Feng, far away in Oucheng, would naturally not be able to afford the prolonged battle. After a moment, he spoke, "Young Master Zheng, you should know that I am not so easily fooled."
"What you're saying is all just verbal promises. Why should I believe you?"
"I can give you a token!"
As Zheng Zhilong spoke, he took off an antique jade pendant from his neck, extended his hand, and handed it to Luo Feng.
This is already a sign of his sincerity; if he goes any further, he himself doesn't know what else to give.
Then he added, "This is an heirloom of the Zheng family, and only the heir of the Zheng family can wear it. Giving it to you is like entrusting my life to you. As long as you help me, I will do everything in my power!"
Regardless of what ulterior motives this guy might have, he was at least very sincere in front of Luo Feng.
It's clear that he'll stop at nothing to deal with his sister and secure the position of heir to the Zheng family.
"Interesting, there's such a thing."
Luo Feng took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and then spoke again.
"One jade pendant isn't enough. You need to offer something more substantial."
“I…I can hand over the Zheng family’s underground intelligence network in Oucheng to you!”
Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth. "This intelligence network is something I've painstakingly built up over the years. It has informants from all walks of life, and its information network is extremely well-connected."
"With it, you'll have an extra pair of eyes and ears in Europe."
Luo Feng nodded slightly, "That's more like it. However, there are conditions for me to help you."
“Please speak!” Zheng Zhilong replied quickly.
"First, in dealing with your sister, you must follow my orders in all actions."
Zheng Zhilong agreed without hesitation.
"Secondly, after this is accomplished, you must fully cooperate with me in finding the original 'East Sea Immortal Mountain Map' and the secrets behind it."
"Okay."
This was exactly what Zheng Zhilong wanted.
"Thirdly, regarding the Shadow Council, you must tell me everything you know without reservation," Luo Feng said, his eyes sharp, each word deliberate and clear.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded firmly, "Okay! I promise you! I'm willing to do anything to bring down my sister!"
The Shadow Council is indeed not to be trifled with, especially since the Zheng family has connections with it, but let's talk about securing the position of heir first.
"I hope you won't let me down." Luo Feng patted Zheng Zhilong on the shoulder. "From now on, we are allies."
"However, if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless."
“I understand!” Zheng Zhilong hurriedly interrupted, “I would never dare to betray you! Otherwise, without you even lifting a finger, I would have no face to live on in this world!”
Luo Feng smiled with satisfaction. "Very good. Then let's discuss how to deal with your sister."
"She probably already knows that you've been in contact with me, so she'll definitely be on guard."
"She should be on her way to the port now, trying to get that fake map back."
Zheng Zhilong said, "She doesn't know we've already reached an agreement. Perhaps we can set up an ambush at the port?"
“No.” Luo Feng shook his head. “There are too many people and too many eyes at the port, and she has a lot of mercenaries with her. It would be easy to cause an accident if we acted rashly.”
"We need to think of a safer way to get her involved willingly..."
Luo Feng took out a bronze lighter from his pocket, tapped it three times with his fingertips, and a flame suddenly shot out with a dark blue light.
He suddenly tossed the lighter into the air, and Zheng Zhilong instinctively reached out to catch it, only to discover upon touching it that it was a holographic projection.
The real lighter still lay steadily in Luo Feng's palm.
"What does your sister want most right now?" Luo Feng suddenly asked, the firelight flickering in his pupils.
Zheng Zhilong stared at the illusory flames and said without hesitation, "Of course it's the thing behind the 'East Sea Immortal Mountain Map'."
“Wrong,” Luo Feng interrupted him. “It’s her sense of superiority that she thinks she can control the whole situation.”
As he spoke, he pressed the hidden button at the bottom of the lighter, and suddenly more than a dozen red dots lit up in the corner of the warehouse.
The signal lights are all from hidden cameras.
Zheng Zhilong gasped.
It must be admitted that these cameras are angled in a tricky way, even the jade pendant he just handed over is magnified in close-up, and the image is being transmitted in real time to Lin Naizi via an encrypted cloud drive.
With Rinnako's analysis and investigation, everything became much easier.
“Three hours ago, I had Linnako hack the auction house’s security system.”
Luo Feng blew out the flames and said, word by word, "What your sister is seeing now is a wonderful performance of me having a weapon pointed at my head."
On the other side, in a warehouse in Oucheng.
On the screen, the image of Zheng Zhilong holding a gun to Luo Feng's temple played on a loop. A contemptuous smile appeared on her lips, and she suddenly slammed the tablet hard against the bulletproof glass.
Damn it! This tiger has kidnapped Luo Feng, this is going to be difficult.
"Men! Notify all our spies to seal off all port exits in twenty minutes. Capture anyone who escapes, or I will not forgive you."
"Yes!"
Zheng Shih-han sneered into the Bluetooth headset, "Since my dear brother wants to be a hero, then let him see what happens when an ant tries to shake a tree."
Outside the car window, six official jeeps roared toward the port, their rooftop binoculars gleaming coldly in the rain.
Meanwhile, inside Warehouse No. 7, Luo Feng put the projector back into his sleeve.
"Your sister's convoy will arrive in seventeen minutes."
He glanced at his watch and said casually, "Now it's your turn to step in."
Zheng Zhilong gripped the fake jade pendant tightly in his hand, his Adam's apple bobbing as he asked, "Are you sure you want me to see her alone?"
"I'm reluctant to let the child catch the wolf."
Luo Feng tucked a palm-sized listening device into his collar.
"Remember, act like you're being coerced by me. The more she believes you're desperate, the less guarded she'll be."
