Chapter 1051: Hidden Weapons
"Mr. Ling, please stay for lunch!"
Including Duan Feihong, Tian Hong and Zhou Kun also said at the same time.
"It’s still early, I won’t disturb you all!"
Ling Feng had no interest in eating at all, he just wanted to go back and be by himself.
After politely declining, Duan Feihong, seeing that she couldn’t persuade him to stay, sighed and said, "Alright then, I’ll drive Mr. Ling back."
"Thank you."
Ling Feng nodded and followed her out the door.
Under Tian Hong and Zhou Kun’s watchful eyes, the two of them drove away.
On the way back to the hotel, Duan Feihong was silent for a long time until they were almost there, then she finally spoke, "Mr. Ling, I will always remember your help. When I have the time, may I visit you?"
"Of course, you’re welcome anytime!" Ling Feng said.
"Good."
Duan Feihong nodded, pondering what gift would be appropriate to bring when the time came.
Later, returning to the hotel, Ling Feng did not need her to accompany him upstairs, so he took the elevator back to his room by himself.
It wasn’t even noon yet, and there was no sign of movement in Chen Yan and the others’ room, those girls were probably still out having fun.
Ling Feng thought to himself about how boring it was as he lay on the sofa wondering when he could go home.
After lying there for quite a while and nearly dozing off, the telephone in the room suddenly rang.
Ling Feng was startled, thinking to himself who could be calling him?
The line should be the hotel’s internal phone, he picked up with curiosity, then asked, "Who is it?"
"Hello Mr. Ling, this is the front desk. You have received a package; would you like us to bring it up for you?" said the front desk clerk.
"Oh, bring it up, please!" Ling Feng said, nodding.
He didn’t know what it was, but since it was addressed to him, he might as well have a look.
About five minutes after hanging up the phone, a bellboy brought up a cardboard box.
Ling Feng expressed his thanks, took the box, and went back into the living room.
There was nothing written on the box, no labels, no names, nothing.
"What is this?"
Ling Feng found it odd and muttered to himself as he went to open the box.
However, his movement suddenly halted as an intuition struck him.
The reason for this was that he suddenly sensed danger.
It was an instinctive feeling from deep within, so Ling Feng did not open the box immediately but scanned it with his Divine Sense instead.
The contents made his heart skip a beat!
Inside the box was a strange bamboo tube, fitted with a spring, and a thin wire was tied around the seal of the box.
By the looks of it, as soon as the box was opened, it would trigger the mechanism, and the contents of the bamboo tube would shoot out!
Ling Feng’s Divine Sense could not see what was inside the bamboo tube, but as soon as it swept over it, he immediately felt a strong sense of danger!
"Damn it, it’s actually a trap!"
Having understood the mechanism, Ling Feng immediately picked up the room’s phone and called the front desk.
"This is Ling Feng, who was the person that just delivered the cardboard box?"
"It was a courier company employee, Mr. Ling, is there a problem?" the front desk asked.
"Do you have his contact information?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, he left his phone number when he signed in."
"Give it to me!" Ling Feng said with a stern voice.
After getting the number, he dialed it right away.
Following a few rings, a man’s voice came through: "Hello, Hippo Courier Service."
"I was the customer at the Great Wall Hotel just now. My surname is Ling. Who gave you the cardboard box you delivered to me?" Ling Feng immediately asked.
"Uh, it was a young man. Mr. Ling, is there any problem?" the other party asked.
Ling Feng nodded: "I need the information of that young man, or his physical description. Can you provide that to me?"
"Well, I can check the surveillance at the branch to see if it captured anything," the other side said.
"Give me the address of the branch!"
After noting down the address, Ling Feng hung up the phone and muttered to himself with a cold expression, "Damn it, someone actually tried to assassinate me?"
Knowing that someone was out to harm him, his first thought was of Ni Hong!
But such a finely crafted hidden weapon, could it truly be her handiwork?
It doesn’t feel like it!
If not her, then who could it be? He hadn’t offended anyone else in Capital City!
Ling Feng’s mind was in disarray now, unclear about who wanted to harm him!
Quickly taking the address and going downstairs, Ling Feng headed straight to the branch of the errand company.
The place was not far from the hotel, less than a kilometer away, so he arrived there soon.
After identifying himself, the staff, seeing the credentials from the Security Bureau and although unfamiliar with them, knew he was not ordinary and cooperatively pulled up the surveillance video from that time.
Upon seeing the young man on the screen, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes.
This person he had seen before; he was one of Zhou Kun’s bodyguards!
As soon as he saw him, Ling Feng was certain that this deed was Ni Hong’s doing.
The likelihood was at least ninety percent!
However, Ling Feng couldn’t understand what this woman was up to, and how could she have such a lethal assassination weapon?
After capturing the video as evidence, Ling Feng left the branch and returned to the hotel downstairs.
He then took out his phone and called Duan Feihong.
After the call connected, her surprised voice came through, "Mr. Ling, you’re looking for me?"
"Mm, I have something I want to ask you. Do you know where Ni Hong usually hangs out?" Ling Feng asked in a deep tone.
"Ah?"
Duan Feihong was stunned—she hadn’t expected that he would contact her about this!
Then after a pause, with some confusion, she asked, "Mr. Ling, do you need her for something?"
"Something," Ling Feng said.
His tone was grave, making Duan Feihong’s heart skip a beat, so she carefully asked, "May I know what it is?"
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment: "If you wish to know, I can tell you. I am currently in the lobby. Where are you?"
"I’m in the second-floor office."
"Alright, I’ll be right there!"
Ling Feng said and hung up the phone, then took the emergency stairway to the second floor.
Upon reaching Duan Feihong’s office, seeing Ling Feng’s grim expression, she felt a shiver of anxiety and asked with nervousness, "Mr. Ling, what has happened?"
"Take a look at this."
Ling Feng brought up the video on his phone and played it for her.
The clip was short, just a few seconds, and after watching, Duan Feihong still puzzled, looked up and asked; "What is this?"
"The person in this delivered me the box. Inside was a highly lethal hidden weapon. Who do you think would want to kill me?" Ling Feng asked.
"This..."
Duan Feihong’s eyes widened in shock, and the figure of Ni Hong appeared in her mind.
Immediately, she blurted out, "If it’s her, then this woman is just too malicious. I never imagined her to be this kind of person!"
"She dared to harm even her own husband, what else could she not do? I revealed her conspiracy when I was getting treatment; this woman must hate me to the bone now, right?" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh.
