Chapter 479 Task - Absolute Penetration_1
Although Xue Qingyi had accepted Lin Feng's identity, she wasn't very comfortable with being intimate with him. After all, this Lin Feng and the one she once knew weren't in the same body. She hugged him quickly, then let go.
In the conversation that followed, Lin Feng mostly listened as Xue Qingyi explained why the White Wolf Squad had disbanded.
"After you disappeared, Zhou Yang and I kept searching for you. Virus took it easy and went on vacation to Hawaii. The only core member left was Ling Yun. After managing the White Wolf Squad for a while, he also proposed to join us in searching for you. The team was basically disbanded. Ling Yun introduced all twenty-odd peripheral members of the original White Wolf Squad to his friend's Hei Sha Mercenary Group for missions. So, there wasn't much to worry about regarding them…"
Xue Qingyi sat beside Lin Feng, recounting the events in a calm, steady voice.
Lin Feng was accustomed to Xue Qingyi's way of not showing her emotions, so he didn't find it odd.
The Virus Xue Qingyi mentioned was one of the core members of the White Wolf Squad. His real name was Xiang Wang. He was a computer whiz and a renowned hacker before joining the White Wolf Squad. Ling Yun, another core member, was known as the God of Killing. He was an expert in firearms and a trace verification expert, serving as the White Wolf Squad's firepower specialist and tactical decision-maker.
"Is the Hei Sha Mercenary Group a new organization? I haven't heard much about it before." Lin Feng was a little worried that the former regular members might be mistreated. After all, in the underworld mercenary community, the White Wolf Squad had always offered top-tier conditions.
"It's an organization that has quickly gained renown in the last six months or so. Their conditions are quite good too, so our guys shouldn't be mistreated," Xue Qingyi, naturally understanding Lin Feng's concern, explained simply.
"That's good…" Now that everyone was settled, Lin Feng's sense of guilt lessened.
"What are your plans for the future?" Lin Feng looked at Xue Qingyi and casually asked.
"I…" Xue Qingyi hesitated. If the man before her were the Lin Feng she used to know, she would undoubtedly follow him, no matter where he went.
But now, even though Xue Qingyi recognized his identity, the unfamiliarity of his appearance created a sense of distance that made her uncomfortable. Moreover, Zhou Yang still refused to acknowledge this Lin Feng as the White Wolf King, so she couldn't act too presumptuously.
"We'll probably stay in Jiangzhou for a while!" Xue Qingyi didn't elaborate, but her slightly shy eyes betrayed her thoughts; she was staying in Jiangzhou, naturally, to be closer to Lin Feng.
"Zhou Yang still doesn't believe me, huh…" Lin Feng glanced at Zhou Yang, who was moodily smoking outside the villa gate, and gave a helpless smile.
"I'll do my best to convince him!" Xue Qingyi nodded and said firmly. Then, she took a slip of paper from her pocket with two strings of numbers written on it and said, "These are the phone numbers we're using in Jiangzhou…"
Lin Feng noted down Xue Qingyi's and Zhou Yang's contact numbers. He didn't offer his own, figuring that since they were resourceful enough to find his home, getting his phone number would be a trivial matter for them.
After exchanging contact information, Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang took their leave, leaving Lin Feng still reeling with excitement…
Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang are back in the country. Can Ling Yun and Xiang Wang be far behind? It seems it's time to get the plans for the shooting range and security company on the agenda. But where will the start-up capital come from? It's a shame my fingerprints and voiceprint don't match. If only I could access the funds in that Swiss Bank account from my mercenary days… Lin Feng lay on the bed, his thoughts troubled.
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside rang.
Lin Feng picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number.
Who could it be? Lin Feng answered the call and asked quietly, "Who is this?"
"It's me!" The deep baritone of Yan Su, team captain of the Falcon Squad, came through the receiver.
"Team Captain, what is it?" Lin Feng tensed up upon hearing Yan Su's voice. Yan Su was the Falcon Squad's special operative planted as an informant within the Qinglong Group. Not long ago, Yan Su, representing the Qinglong Group, had come to 'teach him a lesson' but ended up losing their one-on-one fight. Lin Feng was still worried about whether Yan Su's mission would be compromised!
"About the thing I told you last time... it seems we need your help now," Yan Su said in a low voice.
Lin Feng understood immediately. When he'd encountered Yan Su on Panshan Road, Yan Su had mentioned that this infiltration mission would be challenging and that he might need Lin Feng's help. Lin Feng had agreed back then, and now it seemed Yan Su was ready to assign the task.
"The codename for this operation is 'Absolute Penetration.' The organization wants to obtain enough criminal evidence to completely dismantle the Qingzi Sect. We need to infiltrate their organization as deeply as possible and secure sufficient authentic evidence!" Yan Su briefly explained the background, then continued, "Long Shaotian found out about my defeat in our duel. Although he was furious, he didn't blame me! I know him; it's not that he didn't want to blame me, but he didn't dare! Lately, I've been participating in the underground boxing matches organized by the Qinglong Group, helping him win at least several tens of millions. Now, I suppose I'm considered his golden goose…"
Yan Su spoke casually, but Lin Feng detected an ominous undertone. The fighters who dared to participate in underground boxing matches were hardly simpletons. For Yan Su to have earned tens of millions for Long Shaotian, he must have risked his life numerous times!
"Next month, Long Shaotian plans to host a major event on a cruise ship in international waters, inviting a large number of gamblers. This time, just the appearance fee for each participating fighter is two million. He's been scouting for skilled fighters recently, and since I lost to you in public… Long Shaotian has indeed taken an interest in you!" Yan Su explained to Lin Feng in a low voice.
"...I'm not gay; he doesn't need to be interested in me like *that*!" Lin Feng felt a shiver of revulsion and laughed dismissively.
"Come over and help me!" There was rare weakness in Yan Su's voice. "Otherwise, I fear I won't be able to complete this mission."
"Alright!" Lin Feng agreed. "What do I need to do?"
"Wait for Long Shaotian to contact you. Before you meet him, do your best to thwart anyone he sends your way. But don't go too hard on them; we don't want things to escalate beyond control!" Yan Su advised earnestly.
"I pretty much understand…" Lin Feng nodded.
"Alright, it's not convenient for me to talk more here. That's all." Yan Su quickly hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone, Lin Feng was still a bit dazed. Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang had just found me, and now I'm immediately off on a secret mission? Isn't this a bit much?
However, remembering that Yan Su was counting on him for his life, Lin Feng knew he couldn't abandon the mission. He would just have to play it by ear.
Lin Feng's mind raced with thoughts, and it was a long time before he drifted off to sleep.
「Early the next morning」
He was awakened by a call from Wang Zikai…
"Brother Feng, you said last time you'd train me in running! I'm at the school's second athletic field track now. Can you come and coach me?"
Wang Zikai's voice was thrilled, as if the upcoming activity wasn't running, but getting laid…
Lin Feng hung up, quite annoyed. Last time, he'd casually mentioned to Wang Zikai that running could improve endurance, and the guy had clearly taken it to heart…
Daring to wake me up this early? You're practically begging for trouble!
