In a basement in Tianhai City.
Cai Die stared gloomily at the scarred man standing before her and said in a low voice, “You’re saying he made a move on Hu Yuanyuan this time?”
“Yes, it was yesterday afternoon.” The scarred man felt a flicker of fear at the look on Cai Die’s face. Though Cai Die was a woman, he knew she was an extremely dangerous person who could kill him without the slightest effort.
“How did it go?” Cai Die asked gravely.
“Hu Yuanyuan lost one driver and two bodyguards. Just when they were about to succeed, the people secretly protecting her showed up.” The scarred man replied.
“It seems he’s courting death.” Cai Die gave a cold laugh.
“Cai Die, I actually think his plan is pretty good. Using Hu Yuanyuan to deal with Li Feng, given how much Li Feng cares for her, once a trap is set, Li Feng will undoubtedly die.” The scarred man looked at Cai Die in puzzlement. These past few days Cai Die had stayed cooped up in this basement, paying no attention to the organisation’s affairs. Could she be dissatisfied with the Asura sent down by the organisation? Yet even if she harboured the greatest resentment, she shouldn’t be opposing him on official business.
“Li Feng will undoubtedly die?” Cai Die sneered again. She had thought the same once, so on the day of Fengyuan Group’s press conference, she had taken a few subordinates and infiltrated Tianfu Tower, planning to strike at Hu Yuanyuan. But the result…
That quiet old man who always stayed close to Hu Yuanyuan, she couldn’t withstand a single move from him. Had the old man wished to kill her, she would probably be dead by now. She was an ancient martial artist herself. That time in the hospital when she fought Li Feng, although she was gravely injured, the battle had triggered a breakthrough, and she was now a Postnatal Fourth Layer ancient martial artist. Yet she still couldn’t block a single strike from the old man. One could imagine just how terrifying his strength was.
If Asura wanted to kidnap Hu Yuanyuan, never mind sending only a few men, even if Asura went in person, he might not be the old man’s match.
The scarred man looked at Cai Die, utterly confused.
“Go prepare yourself. I’m leaving Tianhai City.” Cai Die said gravely.
“Leaving Tianhai City?” The scarred man was stunned. Clearly Cai Die’s order was unexpected. Could it be that Cai Die no longer wanted to kill Li Feng?
“Yes.” A sharp glint flashed through Cai Die’s eyes. She knew that with her current ability, staying in Tianhai City would probably make it impossible to kill Li Feng. She might even end up killed by him instead. Far better to leave Tianhai City, find every possible way to raise her cultivation, and seek a chance to kill Li Feng later.
As for Asura, arrogant, conceited, and looking down on everyone, this time he had struck at Hu Yuanyuan again. How could Li Feng possibly let him go? If she didn’t leave now, she might not be able to get away at all.
In a bedroom of a house located in a residential area, Asura climbed out of bed and looked at the woman on the bed whose vital essence he had completely drained, a smug smile appearing on his face.
After several days of cultivation, having absorbed the vital essence of more than a dozen women, Asura felt his strength had increased considerably. He believed it wouldn’t be long before he broke through.
Leaving the bedroom, Asura said to the two subordinates at the door, “You two deal with it.”
Without waiting for their reaction, he walked straight to the study.
“Boss.” A middle-aged man was waiting for Asura inside the study.
Asura glanced coldly at the middle-aged man and said, “You’ve disappointed me greatly. You can’t even handle a small matter.”
“This subordinate deserves death.” The middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head.
“Is Hu Yuanyuan still at the First People’s Hospital?” Asura asked icily. They had sent ten people, including a sniper, yet they still failed to capture Hu Yuanyuan.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man answered.
“Is there any way to seize Hu Yuanyuan for me?” Asura had a feeling that once he obtained Hu Yuanyuan, his cultivation would advance another step. Moreover, Hu Yuanyuan was a vital chess piece in his third plan.
“Boss, I’m afraid that will be very difficult. The entire hospital is now filled with Li Feng’s people, security is airtight, and the police are cooperating. Our men can hardly sneak in.” The middle-aged man shook his head.
“Useless, all of you are bloody useless.” Asura cursed loudly. Twice they had schemed to kill Li Feng and failed both times, and now they couldn’t even capture one Hu Yuanyuan. Asura felt he was going mad.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and remained silent. This kidnapping of Hu Yuanyuan had been Asura’s order and his own arrangement, but he had underestimated the forces protecting Hu Yuanyuan. Since they were not allowed to kill her, the plan had fallen through at the critical moment.
“Tell me, how can we capture Hu Yuanyuan?” Asura asked in a voice dripping with menace.
“This subordinate has no solution, however…” The middle-aged man shook his head.
“However what?” Asura’s gaze turned icy. If they weren’t in Tianhai City and he didn’t lack capable men, he might have slapped the man dead on the spot.
“However, we could target someone else and use her against Li Feng. Once we capture or kill Li Feng, obtaining Hu Yuanyuan afterwards will be easy.” The middle-aged man said.
“Who?” Asura’s eyes lit up.
“It’s her.” The middle-aged man took out a photograph and handed it to Asura, then continued, “According to intelligence, she has a good relationship with Li Feng. We can use her to set a deadly trap. No matter how strong Li Feng is, he won’t escape.”
“This woman isn’t bad.” A sharp glint flashed through Asura’s eyes. After a moment’s thought, he said, “Good, let’s deal with Li Feng first. Although the third plan has changed slightly, as long as we can kill Li Feng, it’s fine. I’ll leave this matter to you.”
“Boss, rest assured, this time I will handle everything perfectly.” A glint flashed through the middle-aged man’s eyes.
“You had better not disappoint me again, or else…” Asura gave a cold laugh.
The middle-aged man’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.
“Any news from Cai Die yet?” Asura asked gravely.
“Not yet.” The middle-aged man shook his head.
“Hmph, once I’ve dealt with Li Feng, I’ll sort her out and let her know the consequences of not taking me seriously.” Asura snorted coldly, a chilling light flashing in his eyes.
Tianya Pavilion.
“Is the young master worried?” Seeing the restless Li Feng, Zhong Shuhui couldn’t help smiling as she spoke.
“Indeed, this plan is too risky. If it fails, the consequences will be unthinkable.” Li Feng nodded heavily. In the hospital rest room, after Zhong Shuhui mentioned that person’s name, Li Feng had drawn up a series of plans. But thinking about it now, he still felt those plans were far too dangerous.
“I think it’s more that the young master can’t bear to do it.” Zhong Shuhui smiled, a meaningful look in her eyes.
Li Feng shook his head and laughed. “How could that be?”
“Rest assured, if the Blood Sand people are targeting you, young master, nothing will happen to her. Moreover, she agreed to this plan herself.” Zhong Shuhui said with a smile.
“I hope so.” Li Feng nodded helplessly. Now that the plan had already begun, even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn’t.
“Instead of worrying, young master should think about how to deal with Blood Sand’s silver-rank assassins. Who knows how many silver-rank assassins Blood Sand has in Tianhai City this time.” Zhong Shuhui said gravely.
“If they’re only at the level of that assassin Cai Die from the hospital last time, no matter how many silver-rank assassins come, I can kill them all.” Li Feng replied with complete confidence. His strength now was far beyond what it had been during the hospital incident.
“Young master must not be careless. For an assassin, cultivation level does not equal actual combat strength. Even an ordinary assassin can kill an ancient martial artist.” Zhong Shuhui said seriously.
“Don’t worry, I know where I stand.” Li Feng nodded. Against these unscrupulous assassins, he would not allow the slightest negligence. Any carelessness could cause him to capsize in the gutter.
Ring ring!
Li Feng’s phone rang.
He glanced at it and saw an unknown number. Without thinking, he rejected the call, but almost immediately the phone rang again, the same number.
Li Feng frowned, then answered.
“Are you Li Feng?” A low voice came from the phone.
“I am. Who are you?” Li Feng’s brows knitted.
“Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that you must come immediately to the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs.” The low voice spoke again.
“Abandoned factory in the southern suburbs? Nutcase.” Li Feng hung up without hesitation. Right now his priority was dealing with Blood Sand. Some random call telling him to go to an abandoned factory was clearly just harassment.
But the moment he hung up, the phone rang again. Li Feng hesitated, then answered.
“Li Feng, if you don’t want your woman to come to harm, come alone to the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs.” An angry voice came through the phone.
“My woman? Who?” Li Feng was taken aback.
“Mu Xiuzhen. Surely you know her? If you don’t want anything to happen to her, come alone to the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs at once. Otherwise, prepare to collect Mu Xiuzhen’s corpse.”
“Who the hell are you?” Li Feng’s expression turned ice-cold. Although Mu Xiuzhen wasn’t yet his woman, they had shared an ambiguous relationship. If something happened to her, Li Feng would not stand by idly.
“Heh heh, Li Feng, aren’t you looking for us? How come you can’t remember who we are?”
“You’re from Blood Sand?” Li Feng’s expression changed, and he shot to his feet.
“That’s right. Remember, if you don’t want Mu Xiuzhen harmed, come alone to the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs right now. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless.” The caller hung up.
“Young master, what’s wrong?” Zhong Shuhui asked.
“Blood Sand has captured Mu Xiuzhen and wants me to go to the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs.” Li Feng’s face looked grim. While he was scheming against Blood Sand, Blood Sand was also scheming against him. He had never expected they would target Mu Xiuzhen.
“Mu Xiuzhen? That beautiful police flower?” Zhong Shuhui was startled and asked in confusion, “Young master, when did you become involved with this Mu Xiuzhen?”
“This isn’t the time for that. Zhong Shuhui, the plan has changed. Immediately mobilise our people and set up an inescapable net centred on the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs. Await my orders to surround and annihilate the Blood Sand assassins. I’m heading there now.” A chilling light glinted in Li Feng’s eyes.
