Uncle Shenhao: Take ten nephews to the supermarket at the beginning
Chapter 1435 The Woman Who Visited Late at Night
What Luo Feng wants to do is not to replace traditional cars all at once; that would be nothing short of wishful thinking.
What he wants is very simple: to simply dominate a certain industry.
For example, the car rental industry and the public transportation industry.
In China, for example, the sports car business tends to include more new energy vehicles.
Lei Laoda managed the dock and old port area projects in an orderly manner. Although Li Zhengxun and his two companions occasionally made some small moves, they did not dare to be too presumptuous under Luo Feng's intimidation.
Colin devoted himself to the follow-up research and development of the new energy project, and would report the progress to Luo Feng from time to time.
With his new career, his dream of immortality seemed to have been put on hold.
Luo Feng spends most of his time at the resort with Bai Ningbing and the children, occasionally handling work-related matters.
He would take the children to the beach to collect seashells, accompany Bai Ningbing for walks in the sunset, discuss project details with Colin via video, and listen to Boss Lei report on the situation on his territory.
Life is simple yet fulfilling.
But this is exactly what Luo Feng wants right now.
He's already experienced the highs and lows; nothing could be more meaningful than this moment.
Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.
Everything did not develop in the direction Luo Feng had hoped for.
That day, Luo Feng was telling stories to the children when Team Leader Chen rushed in and said, "Mr. Luo, there's some activity from the Shadow Council."
Luo Feng frowned slightly, first having Lin Naizi take the little ones away, then asked, "What's all this commotion?"
"They seem to be investigating news about Kunlun Ruins, and they even sent people to the place where Master Hong was previously imprisoned."
Luo Feng tapped his phone lightly on his knee, his gaze darkening.
"Any news from Master Hong?"
All these developments make Luo Feng suspect that the other party's purpose might be aimed at Master Hong.
Although Master Hong has been imprisoned, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
If Master Hong is released, Luo Feng believes that one day, he will be able to regain his power.
After all, Master Hong's foundation is still there.
It's impossible for Boss Lei to clean up everyone in a short time; there are still hidden dangers. It's just a matter of time.
Luo Feng didn't give any instructions to Boss Lei; he left it to Lei's own understanding.
Assuming that Boss Lei is indeed betrayed by his subordinates and loses his position of dominance, Luo Feng wouldn't mind cooperating with new people.
Capable people are sought after everywhere.
Team Leader Chen shook his head and said, "He's still being held, and the guards haven't noticed anything unusual."
"Is the Shadow Council's sudden investigation of Kunlun Ruins aimed at the jade pendant? Or at Master Hong?"
Bai Ningbing approached with a water glass in her hand, her tone wary.
Luo Feng took the water glass, which was cool to the touch. He took a small sip and then said, "The fake jade pendant should have been exposed long ago. Their actions now are probably for ulterior motives."
He suddenly stood up, looked at the other person, and said, "Go and see Master Hong."
The iron gate of the abandoned slaughterhouse was rusty. When the guard sent by Boss Lei saw Luo Feng arrive, he immediately let him through.
"Brother Luo!"
It's all because Boss Lei once said that Luo Feng is him, and from now on, whenever anyone sees Luo Feng, they will all call him Brother Luo!
As a result, wherever Luo Feng went, everyone who saw him would respectfully call him Brother Luo.
It must be said that Boss Lei did a good job in this regard. He did not forget Luo Feng's kindness to him just because he became the overlord of the underground forces.
And always remember that without Luo Feng, he would not have been able to occupy Hong Ye's position, nor would he have achieved what he has today.
Hongye was sitting in his wheelchair, staring blankly at the wall. Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned his head.
"Mr. Luo is a rare guest."
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
The victor is king, that's how history books have always written it. Now that he has lost, he has no right to be hysterical or furious.
“The Shadow Council members have been to your former residence,” Luo Feng said bluntly.
His question to Master Hong was also a way of testing the waters.
Because Luo Feng didn't know how deep the relationship was between Hong Ye and the Shadow Council.
Hongye chuckled and said, "They finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
"What do you know?" Luo Feng stared at him.
Judging from the other party's behavior, it seemed as if the two sides had reached some kind of agreement, which was what worried Luo Feng the most.
Although Rinako has exceptional intelligence capabilities and can uncover a great deal of information, there are some particularly secretive matters that she cannot know.
Hongye turned his wheelchair to face Luofeng, his tone tinged with a sense of loss.
"The Shadow Council has been searching for a map of Kunlun Ruins for twenty years. They know better than I do that the jade pendant is just the trigger."
Luo Feng frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The real clue to the entrance is hidden in Thanatos's hands."
Red said meaningfully, "The Shadow Council is investigating me because they want to get information about Thanatos from me."
These words startled Luo Feng.
Thanatos? That organization that's been hiding in the shadows all along?
The problem is, haven't the two sides already cooperated before?
Is it because Hongye's information is delayed, or is there some other reason?
The two sides did not reach an agreement on this point.
However, he didn't tell Hong Ye this information yet. He mainly came to hear Hong Ye's opinion and didn't want to tell him about his own affairs.
"Do they have a grudge against Thanatos?"
Red nodded and said, "Ten years ago, the former leader of the Shadow Council died at the hands of Thanatos, and they have never settled that score."
Luo Feng remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked out.
"Looks like Europe is about to get lively again."
Looking at his retreating figure, Hongye suddenly said, "Luofeng, be careful of the Shadow Council's Ice Rose. She's much more ruthless than the Snake Queen."
Luo Feng paused for a moment, but without turning around, he walked straight out of the slaughterhouse.
Team Leader Chen was waiting for him at the door. "Mr. Luo, what's the next step?"
"Keep a close eye on the Shadow Council and Thanatos."
Luo Feng's eyes sharpened. "Tell Boss Lei to have his men keep an eye on the movements of these two organizations."
"Yes."
Back at the resort, Bai Ningbing noticed his serious expression and asked, "What happened?"
Luo Feng repeated Hong Ye's words and said in a deep voice, "If the Shadow Council and Thanatos clash, we are very likely to be drawn in."
Are you sure Master Hong is telling the truth?
Bai Ningbing said, "He took the initiative to tell you so much, but he didn't mention any requests or that he was leaving. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"
"Well, it is a bit strange to be honest."
Luo Feng had also wondered what the reason was, but in his opinion, Master Hong had simply accepted defeat as a matter of the victor taking all.
As the head of such a large underground force in Europe, it's normal for him to reflect on his business dealings.
Moreover, Master Hong was actually very clever; by speaking out, he avoided being tortured.
Since he entered the slaughterhouse, neither Luo Feng nor Boss Lei have ever used any tricks against Master Hong.
Luo Feng had also warned Boss Lei not to lay a hand on Master Hong. In fact, there wasn't much deep-seated hatred between Boss Lei and Master Hong that was unforgivable.
However, Boss Lei is an ambitious man, and he also dreams of one day reaching the level of Master Hong.
Previously, he had Hong Ye keeping him in check, but now that's gone, he certainly won't miss this opportunity. "I won't touch this person for the time being. He said that to protect himself."
Luo Feng firmly believed in one sentence: when a person dies, they can't take anything with them, no matter what their identity was in life.
Death is one of the relatively fair things in this world.
Even the richest people are the same. So when a person's selfishness reaches a certain point, they hope that after they die, they will not leave their property to anyone.
"Should we make preparations in advance?"
Since Luo Feng had already said so, Bai Ningbing wouldn't say anything more.
"Prepare?"
Luo Feng sneered, then shook his head.
"The best preparation is to make them both suffer heavy losses."
"Since I've received information that Thanatos and the Shadow Council have such a deep-seated hatred, yet they're cooperating now, it seems that the cooperation is not very stable."
"Moreover, it is very likely that it is only because it is targeting me. Once the matter of the jade pendant is exposed, their hatred will probably come back soon."
This is a good thing for Luo Feng.
If these two organizations were to fight against him together, it would be quite a challenge.
After all, both were powerful underground organizations at the height of their power, and now their weaknesses have been found.
As long as a balance is maintained, Luo Feng can still have a place in this chaotic world.
He picked up his phone and dialed Lin Naoko's number.
"Give me information on Chatanatos's recent movements, the more detailed the better."
After hanging up the phone, he gazed at the night outside the window, his eyes growing increasingly serious.
It seems we have no choice but to wade into these muddy waters.
After taking a bath, Luo Feng was unusually dragged away by the little ones to have a bedtime story told.
Luo Feng had told them this before.
But it feels like all of that happened a long time ago.
These little brats have finally caught Luo Feng, and they don't want to miss this opportunity.
Bai Ningbing couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.
Half an hour later, as the little ones fell into a deep sleep, Luo Feng stretched and prepared to go back to the next room to sleep.
Bai Ningbing lay down in the middle of the group of little ones, with two children resting their heads on her arms on either side, and said in a low voice.
"I won't stay with you tonight. If I move, they'll definitely wake up."
Luo Feng nodded slightly, made a gesture, then turned and left the room, gently closing the door behind him.
Actually, Bai Ningbing originally wanted to suggest that Lin Naizi go and keep Luo Feng company, since that woman was already there.
However, Lin Naizi was very sensible. As long as Bai Ningbing was around, she would not compete with her for Luo Feng. She would let them make up for it that night.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ningbing was trapped by her nieces and couldn't stay with him, so Luo Feng had to return to his room.
Looking at the empty bed, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He's sleeping alone today; there's no one to warm his bed.
Having two beautiful women by his side but being left alone in an empty room, what kind of situation is this?
The moonlight in the latter half of the night shone through the gauze curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes in his light sleep and caught the faint "click" of the window lock.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the metal of the window lock being pried open with a thin wire.
He subtly moved half an inch to the inside of the bed, his hand quietly reaching for the short knife under the pillow, his fingertips pressing against the cold hilt.
The curtains were gently lifted slightly.
A dark figure leaped through the window like a cat, landing almost silently.
This alone shows that the other person is very skilled and professional.
But if it's a thief, coming into Luo Feng's room is practically suicide.
Did they manage to steal from him?
The newcomer was dressed in night clothes and had a slender figure. After landing, he paused briefly and then made his way toward the bed.
Luo Feng held his breath, listening to the other person's footsteps stop by the bedside, and a faint, exotic fragrance entered his nostrils.
It doesn't smell like perfume; it's more like a mixture of herbs and a cool fragrance.
The shadowy figure reached out, seemingly trying to confirm the location of the person on the bed.
In that instant, Luo Feng suddenly rolled over, his left hand gripping the other's wrist like an iron clamp, his right hand holding a short knife against the other's throat, and at the same time, his knee pressed against the other's lower abdomen, slamming the man hard onto the bed.
"Who sent you?" he asked in a low, cold voice.
The person beneath him stiffened, but did not struggle or utter a sound, like a silent stone.
Luo Feng frowned; this reaction was strange.
Ordinary assassins either fight back or make threats; they don't just stand still like this.
He subconsciously pressed his elbow against the other person's chest, trying to force them to speak.
A soft, elastic touch suddenly came from beneath my palm, not the texture of a man's muscle, but more like...
Luo Feng was shocked and abruptly released his grip.
"Are you a woman?"
The shadowy figure remained silent, but Luo Feng could sense the tension in its body.
After all, men and women are not intimate.
He quickly raised his hand and said in a deep voice to the air, "Xiao Ai, turn on the light."
"Good host!"
The smart lights turned on immediately, filling the room with warm yellow light.
Luo Feng looked down, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The person he was pinning down had a black cloth covering their face, but the eyes that were exposed had slightly upturned corners, carrying a familiar allure.
His figure, clad in black, was curvaceous, and the spot where his elbow had been braced was now rising and falling gently with his breath.
"It really is a woman!"
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes and ripped off the other person's black cloth.
The Snake Princess's face was exposed to the light. She bit her lip, looking at him with a complicated expression, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Mr. Luo, your reaction is still so quick."
Her voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, but it also carried a hint of mockery.
"I wonder if you're this fast in other areas as well?"
What is being implied by this statement?
Whether I'm fast or slow is none of your business!
"..."
Luo Feng released his grip, turned over and sat up, casually tossing the short knife onto the bedside table with a crisp sound.
"It turns out to be you."
He tugged at his slightly wrinkled collar, his gaze falling on the Snake Princess, and said in a calm tone, "Speak, Snake Princess, what are you planning to do by barging in at this hour?"
The Snake Princess rubbed her wrist, which had turned red from being pressed, and slowly sat up... (End of Chapter)
