“Watch someone?” Mu Jiajia was taken aback.
She had thought Li Feng kept her behind for something else, but it turned out he wanted her to tail a person. Didn’t he have the entire Eagle Eye network? Why would this target require her, the Double-Gun Rakshasa, to handle personally?
“Exactly, watch someone.” Li Feng nodded.
“Li Feng, you’re not asking me to tail Blood Shadow, are you?” After thinking for a moment, Mu Jiajia felt the only person who made sense was Blood Shadow. After all, right now Blood Shadow was the one coming after him.
“Blood Shadow?” Li Feng shook his head. “I don’t even know where Blood Shadow is right now, how could I have you follow him? Besides, the moment Blood Shadow shows himself, my first move would be to kill him. Why would I waste time having you watch him?”
“Then who do you want me to watch?” Mu Jiajia asked.
Li Feng spoke a name.
Mu Jiajia stared blankly for a second. “You’re not involved with her in some way, are you?”
“Mu Jiajia, don’t underestimate this person.” Li Feng then explained his reasoning and suspicions in detail.
“Is what you’re saying true?” Mu Jiajia’s face turned grave as she asked.
“If it weren’t true, I wouldn’t send you, the Double-Gun Rakshasa, out personally. Mu Jiajia, I hope you won’t be careless. A single mistake could cost you your life.” Li Feng said solemnly.
Mu Jiajia nodded. If Li Feng was right, one moment of negligence might indeed be fatal.
“Remember, I need to know her every move.” Li Feng instructed.
“Don’t worry. I’ll report to you every day.” Mu Jiajia turned to leave the office.
“Wait a moment.” Li Feng called her back.
“What else?” Mu Jiajia looked at him warily.
“Relax, I’m not planning to devour you. Besides, if I really wanted to, you wouldn’t be able to resist anyway.” Seeing her nervous expression, Li Feng smiled and said.
Mu Jiajia’s face changed slightly. She knew he was telling the truth. Whether in martial skill or gunnery arts, Li Feng far surpassed her. If he wanted to do something to her, she would have no way to fight back, not to mention he held leverage over her.
“Go call Su Kou for me.” Li Feng said.
“Fine.” Mu Jiajia responded and left the office.
Watching her go, Li Feng couldn’t help but smile. If it weren’t for last night’s events, flirting with a subordinate like Mu Jiajia would have been quite enjoyable, but right now he was in no mood for that. His only thought was to uncover the masterminds behind last night’s attack and then exact ruthless revenge.
He had several suspects in mind. The already-dead Wu De was one of them, and Qin Feng, Zhu Yuanyang, Li Wu were all possible too. After all, as he had just reasoned, Wu De alone could not possibly command such massive forces in Tianhai City. He believed that besides Wu De, other parties had been involved last night, but until Eagle Eye finished investigating, he could only bide his time.
Moreover, after such heavy losses this time, even he needed time to recover to peak condition, so for now he had to endure and wait.
“Young Master Feng.” Su Kou walked in at that moment.
Li Feng snapped out of his thoughts, looked at Su Kou and asked, “Su Kou, are you still willing to do that thing for me?”
“Young Master Feng, I’ve thought it through clearly.” Su Kou nodded.
“Good. This is where I need you to go and what I need you to do. Read it first, then burn it immediately.” Li Feng handed over a prepared slip of paper to Su Kou.
Su Kou read it, lit it with a lighter, burned it, and said to Li Feng, “Young Master Feng, I understand what needs to be done.”
“I hope you won’t let me down.” Li Feng took out a bank card and handed it to Su Kou. “There’s one billion in here. This is the development capital you’ll need once you’re there.”
“Yes.”
Li Feng watched Su Kou leave, a glint flashing in his eyes.
If Fo Zhu hadn’t appeared last night, he might not have thought of this yet, but it wasn’t too late. The matters in Tianhai City were not yet resolved, other plans could be laid out slowly.
Thinking of Fo Zhu, Li Feng recalled why Fo Zhu had come to Tianya Pavilion last night. It was obvious that Fo Zhu had come for Wu De, but what exactly made Wu De so important that Fo Zhu valued him so highly?
Li Feng thought for a while but couldn’t figure it out. He felt that when the opportunity arose, he should ask Fu Yanxiong. The Wu family was within the Fu family’s sphere of influence, perhaps Fu Yanxiong knew something.
Knock knock!
At that moment, a knock sounded. Li Feng looked up and saw a young man standing at the door.
“What is it?” Li Feng recognised him as one of Tianya Pavilion’s security guards.
“Young Master Feng, someone sent an invitation, said it’s for you.” the youth replied.
“Invitation?” Li Feng paused, then said to the youth, “Bring it in.”
“Yes.” The youth quickly entered the office and handed the invitation to Li Feng.
“You may go.” Li Feng waved his hand, opened the invitation, glanced at it, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.
The invitation came from Situ Qiang. The meaning was simple: he wanted to strengthen cooperation, but last night at the Imperial Hotel, Li Feng had clearly overheard the conversation between Situ Qiang and Situ Lei.
“It seems last night’s events have shocked some people, but that’s fine too.” A sharp light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Although he had suffered heavy losses last night, the strength he displayed, especially killing Wei Kang, would definitely shock certain people. That matter couldn’t be hidden. After all, this battle had taken place in the city proper of Tianhai, unlike the time he killed Zhao Xiu and the others at the seaside where few knew.
A person who can kill a peak Postnatal Ninth Layer ancient martial artist is either peak Ninth Layer himself or Innate realm. He believed that some who originally wanted to deal with him would now have to weigh their own worth.
Li Feng believed that even if direct descendants of the eight top families like Qin Feng knew, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly against him anymore. As long as they stayed put, he could focus entirely on the mastermind behind last night’s attack.
“Young Master Feng.” Zhong Shuhui returned to the office and said, “Young Master Feng, Wei Kang’s identity has been confirmed. He is the boss of Tianyan in Su City.”
“Tianyan?” Li Feng frowned slightly.
“Yes. I started the investigation yesterday when I was in the hospital. Although Wei Kang hid his identity well, we’ve now confirmed he is from Su City’s Tianyan.” Zhong Shuhui nodded.
“So Wei Kang wanted revenge for that Fourth Master of Tianyan. But how did Wei Kang think that Fourth Master died by my hand? Could there be a problem on President Fu’s side?” Li Feng recalled what Wei Kang had said last night and nodded, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart. The Fourth Master of Tianyan had been killed by someone arranged by Fu Xiyan, it should not be traced back to him.
“This is still under investigation. I’ve contacted President Fu to assist, but what we can confirm now is that Wei Kang and Wu De are definitely not the same group. The Wu family’s hand has not reached that far, and the Zhu family would never allow Su City, right beside Jinling, to be controlled by others.” Zhong Shuhui said solemnly.
“You mean, Wei Kang’s appearance last night might be related to the Zhu family?” Li Feng’s face sank, a cold glint in his eyes. He thought of how Zhu Yuanyang had framed him. If last night’s matter was related to Zhu family and Zhu Yuanyang, that would explain how those black-clothed people appeared in Tianhai City. After all, Tianhai City and Su City are only a few hours drive, if the Zhu family moved fast enough, the four great families had no time to react.
“Possible, or not. Young Master, think about it, why did Tianyan’s Fourth Master send people to kill last time?” Zhong Shuhui said solemnly.
“You mean Li Wu?” Li Wu?” Li Feng’s face changed. His enmity with Tianyan started because of Li Wu. If it weren’t for Li Wu going to Tianyan’s Fourth Master to have him killed, he and Tianyan would have minded their own business. So, Li Wu using Tianyan and framing it on Zhu family is not impossible.
At this thought, Li Feng’s face turned iron blue.
If it was someone else, he might still accept, but if it was Li Wu, that was different, after all, this concerns the internal strife of their Li family, affecting the whole body by pulling one hair.
“Both Zhu Yuanyang and Li Wu are possible.” Zhong Shuhui said solemnly. Having been beside Mu Chunfeng for so long, she knew Li Xiangyang would use every trick in the book to make Li Wu the heir of Li family, so in her mind, Li Wu was more likely than Zhu Yuanyang, after all Zhu Yuanyang had already framed Li Feng for killing Chen Haotian, and Chen Junyi had sent Blood Shadow to come kill Li Feng, why would Zhu Yuanyang bother to design to kill Li Feng? Using Blood Shadow’s hand would be better?
“Zhong Shuhui, before this matter is not investigated clearly, do not jump to conclusions. Whether Zhu Yuanyang or Li Wu, what I need is solid evidence.” Li Feng said solemnly.
Whether Zhu Yuanyang or Li Wu, whoever is confirmed to be related to last night’s events, he will not let go, but he needs evidence. Although Zhu Yuanyang and Li Wu are both his opponents, dealing with them is a matter of time, but right now he wants to deal with the mastermind of last night’s raid event, he doesn’t want to waste time on other things now.
“Zhong Shuhui, do you think Blood Shadow is possible?” Li Feng suddenly asked.
“Blood Shadow?” Zhong Shuhui paused, then her face turned serious as she said, “Young Master suspects last night’s events were done by Blood Shadow?”
“Hongmen has this capability, Blood Shadow has this motive.” Li Feng nodded. If Zhong Shuhui hadn’t mentioned Zhu Yuanyang just now, he might not have thought of Blood Shadow, originally in his view, Blood Shadow wants to kill him, would assassinate him like Blood Sand’s killers, but now thinking about it, this possibility is not none.
“Young Master, I will investigate clearly as soon as possible.” Zhong Shuhui nodded with a serious face.
“If it really is Blood Shadow, there’s no need to investigate, someone will tell us.” Li Feng raised the invitation in his hand, a glint flashing in his eyes.
