Uncle Shenhao: Take ten nephews to the supermarket at the beginning

The old man smacked his lips in satisfaction, leaned forward slightly, and whispered...

"A group of people asked about this a couple of days ago."

"A new face, but with an unusual demeanor. He doesn't look like an ordinary buyer; he seems more like... someone who's here to cause trouble."

"The one in charge had particularly thick knuckles and calluses on his thumb; he was a seasoned gun enthusiast. They asked very detailed questions, especially about where the box might be taken to be opened."

A seasoned gun enthusiast! Interested in where to unlock the loot box!
Luo Feng's heart sank.

This description is very likely the same group of people who were spying on the abandoned building last night!

Their target was indeed not just the box, but possibly even Linnako, who could unlock it!

The problem is that Luo Feng has always been curious about the identities of this group of people.
It remains to be seen whether it belongs to the Shadow Council, Thanatos, or one of several other organizations.

This is something that Luo Feng is very curious about, after all, the people in these organizations are probably the ones with the highest probability of success right now.

Moreover, Luo Feng still believed that the contents of the wooden box concerned Thanatos, so he thought it was more likely that the other party was Thanatos.

Lin Naoko's expression instantly turned cold, her eyes becoming incredibly sharp. She hadn't expected the other party to have such a long reach, even managing to infiltrate this underground intelligence market to gather information.

"What else did they ask? Did they say who they were?" Luo Feng continued to ask anxiously.

Old Man Qian shook his head, leaned back in his chair, and slowly began to fan himself with a palm-leaf fan.

"That's all. Those guys are very shrewd and tight-lipped. They asked their questions and left without revealing a single extra word."

“In my business, I only sell what I hear, not what I guess or don’t know. This information is worth this price.”

He paused, his sunglasses seemingly turning towards Lin Naoko, and added a pointed remark.

"However... young lady, judging from your face, you've been plagued by petty people lately, and things aren't going smoothly around you."

"Take my advice: some hot potatoes should be thrown away when necessary. Peace is a blessing."

This statement almost explicitly indicated that Rinnako was being targeted and was in a dangerous situation.

Luo Feng frowned, knowing he couldn't get any more information from Old Man Qian, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Old Man Qian."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Naoko and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps away from that corner, the surrounding noise rushed into my ears again.

Luo Feng's expression was grave as he whispered to Lin Naizi, "It seems the situation is more complicated than we thought."

"Your studio may have been exposed, and the other side is even investigating who can crack the box."

“This place is a mixed bag, and news travels very fast. You can’t stay there any longer.”

Lin Naoko nodded with a cold look in her eyes.

Although she is confident, she is by no means arrogant.

The other party was clearly organized and premeditated, and may even have used professional tracking and investigation forces.

"I know."

She calmly replied, "Give me an hour, and I'll transfer the core equipment and data."

"I have other plans for the location."

“Okay! I’ll help you. Tell me immediately what equipment and manpower you need,” Luo Feng said without hesitation.

The two walked quickly toward the exit, the relaxed atmosphere from before completely gone.

Play around, have fun, but don't joke about safety.

The underground market was still bustling. Luo Feng glanced at Lin Naizi beside him and asked with a smile.

"By the way, is there any information you'd like to buy?"

"What information could I possibly want to buy?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Naoko was taken aback.

Then, she stared at Luo Feng with a strange expression.

"You're not hiding something from me, are you?"

She was naturally referring to Luo Feng's tabloid articles and the like.

Luo Feng frowned. "What kind of talk is that? How could I possibly hide anything from you?"

"I said since we've come all this way, think about whether there's anything you want to buy. If not, we'll just leave, and you might not have another chance to come here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Naoko narrowed her eyes and thought about it carefully.

"I don't think I have any information to buy. Otherwise, should I ask Sakura if there's any juicy gossip to share?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel speechless.

"As the leader of an intelligence organization, how can you be so gossipy?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Naoko couldn't help but laugh.

"Gossiping is a woman's nature, don't you know that?"

"..."

Luo Feng sighed. He thought that Lin Naizi would at least ask for some information related to him, or perhaps she wanted to see if she could find any inside information about Sakura Financial.

After all, Rinnako is still a genius financial girl from Sakura.

However, this finance girl seems to have become love-struck ever since she got together with Luo Feng.

No matter where Luo Feng went, she wanted to follow him.

Afterwards, Luo Feng reluctantly followed Lin Naizi to find several people selling information about celebrities who were involved in gossip about cherry blossoms.

During this time, Luo Feng heard many shocked sounds coming from Lin Naizi.

What?! You're saying the photocopy was a mistress? No way! That's a man!

"You're talking nonsense! How old is Xiaohuazi? How could she possibly have a boyfriend! And what about her messy private life?! You've made this up, haven't you?!"

The stall owners' expressions changed when they heard what Lin Naizi said.

After all, if Lin Naoko said that, it could easily affect their business.

After being kicked out, Lin Naoko sighed helplessly.

"Do you believe what I'm saying? I work in intelligence myself; don't you know how accurate my intelligence is?"

"Of course I believe you."

Luo Feng had no choice but to nod in agreement since Lin Naizi had said so.

"Hmph! I'm telling you, you'd better believe me!"

Lin Naoko pursed her lips and then left the place.

Luo Feng followed closely behind.

After getting into the car, Lin Naizi complained, "The information you have here isn't very accurate, yet you dared to sell it to me at such a high price." "Yeah, if you came here to open a carpet business, becoming a super-rich person wouldn't be a dream!" Luo Feng said with a half-joking laugh.

"Are you mocking me?" Lin Naoko glared at him.

"I didn't mean to be sarcastic; I was just telling the truth," Luo Feng said seriously.

"Okay, I believe you. I'm hungry and want to go eat."

Lin Naizi didn't bother to think about whether Luo Feng was thinking that much. After all, in her opinion, her goal was simple: to get Luo Feng to spend more time with her.

"Okay, let's go eat now."

"What do you want to eat?" Luo Feng fastened his seatbelt, turned his head and asked Lin Naizi, trying to sound as relaxed as possible.

Lin Naoko rubbed her temples, seemingly still immersed in the absurd gossip and the frustration of being kicked out, and casually said, "Whatever, just find a quiet place, my mind is a bit of a mess."

Luo Feng nodded, started the car, and drove towards a Japanese restaurant in the city known for its elegant and private environment.

This restaurant is quite expensive, but the VIP rooms do offer a good escape from most disturbances, which is perfect for them to enjoy their meal in peace and quiet.

Actually, there wasn't much to say between the two of them. Just having a meal together and simply keeping each other company was enough.

After parking the car, the two went inside and, guided by a waiter, headed to their reserved private room.

Just as we were passing through a corridor with bamboo curtains hanging in it, the door to a private room next to us was opened.

A tall, elegant woman wearing a champagne-colored fitted long dress walked out with her head down.

She was accompanied by someone who looked like an assistant and a reporter with a small video camera.

The two sides met face to face and were both taken aback.

Is this world so small?

This was Luo Feng's first thought.

When Luo Feng saw the other person's face clearly, his heart skipped a beat.

It's Su Mu!
Since that concert, Su Mu has become incredibly popular.

At the same time, they had several unexpected encounters, and there were even some unfounded rumors, which led to the label of "boyfriend of this big star" being attached to Luo Feng.

This left Luo Feng feeling quite helpless; he didn't want this thing at all, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He can't silence everyone.

To be honest, Lin Naizi was the one who started it all. Now, she has finally met Su Mu.

She wore light makeup today, which made her look more elegant than her radiant appearance on screen, but there seemed to be a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Luo Feng subconsciously wanted to look away, pretend he didn't recognize her, or simply nod and walk past her.

He didn't want any complications at this time, especially with Lin Naoko by his side.

He had already spent a lot of time explaining those inexplicable rumors to Lin Naoko.

Not to mention, besides Lin Naizi, Luo Feng has so many girlfriends. If he were to explain to each of them one by one, it would take a lot of time and effort.

However, just as his gaze was about to look away, Su Mu recognized him first.

A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, followed by a complex expression that was hard to detect—a mixture of delight and unease.

"Luo Feng?" Su Mu's voice was gentle and pleasant, with a hint of uncertainty, as she took the initiative to call out his name.

This sound made it impossible for Luo Feng to pretend he hadn't seen it.

Honestly, couldn't this woman just pretend she didn't see him?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to exchange those few pleasantries.

He had no choice but to stop and force a polite but distant smile onto his face.

"Miss Su, what a coincidence."

Lin Naizi also stopped in her tracks, her gaze quickly sweeping between Luo Feng and Su Mu, her eyes calm.

But Luo Feng could feel her hand holding his arm tighten slightly.

She naturally recognized the other person as Su Mu.

Su Mu glanced at Lin Naizi next to Luo Feng, paused slightly, and then gave Luo Feng a more formulaic smile.

"Yes, what a coincidence. And who is this?"

Her gaze politely fell on Rinnako.

“My friend, Lin Naoko,” Luo Feng introduced.

This sentence sounds natural, but it deliberately emphasizes that the two are friends, although they are much more than just friends.

However, Luo Feng was unwilling to say too much in front of reporters.

"Miss Lin, hello." Su Mu nodded politely.

Lin Naoko responded calmly, "Ms. Su, hello, I've heard so much about you."

Seeing that the two people didn't recognize each other, Luo Feng curled his lip.

What a show-off!

Sure enough, they say two women make a drama, but it seems he's not the main character in this one.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

The reporters behind Su Mu seemed to recognize Luo Feng, a figure who frequently appeared in the financial and gossip sections, and their cameras were subtly pointed at them.

Su Mu seemed oblivious to this subtle change, or perhaps she didn't care. She looked at Luo Feng, her tone naturally familiar, and invited, "I didn't expect to run into you here. I just finished a short interview with the crew and was about to grab something to eat."

"How about... we go together? This place has some really good bluefin tuna belly."

When she extended the invitation, her eyes were fixed on Luo Feng, filled with anticipation.

That look made Luo Feng inwardly cry out in alarm.

If they met by chance in private, and there were no other people around, he might not refuse so bluntly out of politeness.

but now……

Moreover, he also needed to talk to the other party about Su Mu's box.

Out of the corner of his eye, Luo Feng could clearly see the reporter's eyes light up instantly, and the camera lens that was almost shoved into his face.

He could almost picture how tomorrow's entertainment headlines would be written.

Financial tycoon Luo Feng secretly met with popular actress Su Mu, and they dined together in a private room, behaving intimately.
