Chapter 353: How Overconfident Can You Be!
"Of course, it's not confirmed yet, but based on the content of those emails, Catherine speculated some rather unpleasant information," Chen Fenghuo's tone was noticeably somber, lacking the previous teasing manner.
"It's possible that the Blood Shadow Building is the Bounty Guild, and the Bounty Guild is the Blood Shadow Building, or rather, the one behind them is the same person."
If that's truly the case, it would be extremely tricky. Is that organization really so powerful?
Ren Feng was also contemplating inwardly, but it seemed unlikely. Wasn't it previously speculated that the organization was in the United States?
And the Bounty Guild has always been based in the West; there shouldn't be any link between the two, although a connection might indeed exist.
"I understand." Ren Feng said lightly, "Don't panic, continue investigating."
"Okay." Chen Fenghuo nodded, "There's another thing, the Fred Group was investigated for a while, but nothing was found."
"What about the arms smuggling aspect?"
"Fred wasn't directly involved; they reselled the arms to other weapon dealers," Chen Fenghuo explained, "Apart from that, nothing else has been uncovered at the moment."
"Alright, keep searching. It'll reveal itself sooner or later."
After conversing for a bit more, they hung up, and Ren Feng's face was full of contemplation.
This matter made the director uneasy, involving weapons, and linked to the Blood Shadow Building and the Bounty Guild, with so many experts under its command.
Could this organization truly have such extensive reach?
If so, it would indeed be difficult to compete with them at the moment.
The only way is to improve oneself while also expanding the entire Wind Mark's strength.
Previously, Wind Mark did not recruit many people, mainly a few like Black Dragon and Fire Phoenix, strong or uniquely skilled individuals.
It seems necessary to recruit more people, and within the country, Lone Wolf is a good choice. Should he be cultivated to be part of Wind Mark, too?
Initially, Ren Feng hadn't planned this, but Lone Wolf performed well, diligently executing tasks. Bringing him into Wind Mark would indeed be a significant help.
The main reason is that Chen Fenghuo and the others mostly operate abroad, making it hard for them to return to the country.
With this thought, the idea surfaced.
Later, after discussing with Long Yue, at the very least, they couldn't allow the Dragon Group to view Wind Gang as a heresy, or they might take action to eliminate them.
After formulating a plan, Ren Feng went to Xia Wenxue's room to sleep.
Now Xia Wenxue is somewhat willing to sleep with Ren Feng, having accepted him internally, though not completely ready.
...
The next day, Xia Wenxue woke up early, as it was a workday, and she had to rush to the company.
Seeing Xia Wenxue get up and dress, Ren Feng had a smile lingering on his face.
Holding her last night, there was evidently no initial discomfort.
"Let me help you."
Ren Feng walked over, taking the comb to help Xia Wenxue groom her hair.
He did it slowly and gently.
Looking at Ren Feng as he combed her hair, Xia Wenxue's eyes held an indescribable emotion.
Her heart felt warm, is this love?
After finishing up, Xia Wenxue and Ren Feng went downstairs.
After breakfast, they got in the car, ready to head to the Flying Snow Group.
Ren Feng sat in the driver's seat, this time driving Xia Wenxue's BMW, leaving the Hummer in the courtyard.
The BMW drove forward, and soon arrived in front of the Flying Snow Mansion.
Upon exiting the car, Ren Feng's previously teasing face abruptly tensed.
"What's wrong?" Xia Wenxue asked, puzzled.
Ren Feng turned his head, slightly smiling, "Nothing, Xue'xue, you go in first."
Just moments ago, a feeling like being watched by a venomous snake suddenly appeared, causing Ren Feng's heart to seize.
An expert's presence!
Clearly, this was someone from that organization again.
Moreover, the area in front of the Flying Snow Mansion was broad; such a feeling coming from behind indicated the adversary wasn't far off.
Ren Feng stayed put, watching Xia Wenxue enter gradually, relaxing as she was now protected inside by Ye Ruobing and others. But it seemed the ajdversary was targeting him.
That sensation vanished suddenly, seemingly as the adversary realized and attempted retreat, without even firing a shot.
Ren Feng turned around, face icy, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the adversary.
His speed was swift, reaching the mansion's vicinity quickly, spotting a figure darting away, standing out in the crowd.
It's him!
Almost instantly, Ren Feng locked onto the target.
Ren Feng raced forward, but the opponent was fast, evidently a top-tier expert, disappearing into the crowd within moments.
Ren Feng persistently followed, his face frosty, though inwardly sensing something was amiss; the adversary's aura was too blatant, like an attempt to lure him in.
Slightly squinting his eyes, Ren Feng, while in pursuit, pulled out a phone, directly dialing Long Yue's number.
Informing Long Yue of the situation, Ren Feng continued pursuing.
The onlookers could only glimpse two shadows, exceedingly fast, vanishing from sight.
The person ahead led Ren Feng, seemingly venturing into an alley, pursuing for about ten minutes, now away from the commercial center.
The surroundings had turned into low residential areas, with few people, all earmarked for demolition.
Ren Feng squinted slightly, a trace of a cold smile on his lips.
Undoubtedly, it was another trap.
The figure darted into a courtyard, with Ren Feng following, and suddenly, an oncoming silhouette charged at him.
In that instant, Ren Feng's hands thrust forward, True Qi surging, clashing fiercely in the air with the adversary's hands.
The strike forced the opponent to retreat substantially, while Ren Feng, with a quick step forward, landed a fierce punch on the adversary!
Bang!
Instantly, the opponent hit the ground like a severed kite string.
Ren Feng clapped his hands, looking indifferently at the person lying on the ground, his eyes holding a hint of aloofness.
"Impressive, impressive."
The sound of clapping emerged, with the wooden door before Ren Feng opening, revealing the figures of Purple Thorn and Half-Demon.
No panic on Ren Feng's face, rather an air of calm, as his pocketed phone had already activated the locator function earlier.
"Going through all this trouble to lure me here, how could I not come?" Ren Feng's gaze was tranquil.
"I knew I couldn't deceive you, but even knowing this is a trap, you'd still come," Purple Thorn said flatly, "However, this time, you're not so lucky."
"You mean relying on Half-Demon?" Ren Feng said blandly, "You're overly confident."
"Not him, me."
Suddenly, the person Ren Feng had struck stood up, glaring coldly at Ren Feng.
Ren Feng's eyebrow arched, surprise flashing in his eyes. No, with the True Qi-infused punch earlier, how did he get up so easily?
"Surprising, isn't it?" The person sneered, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lin Mu, a mutant warrior."
Mutant warrior?
Understanding flickered in Ren Feng's eyes. No wonder this guy healed so quickly.
So-called mutant warriors involve integrating animal genes into humans, or genetic modification, significantly enhancing one's strength.
"Then let Lin Mu test the might of the king of mercenaries," Lin Mu sneered, stomping his foot abruptly, launching himself at Ren Feng like a cannonball.
