Chapter 1224 Key Figures
Ling Feng tore open the file bag and took out a thick stack of documents from inside.
A dozen sheets of paper were bound together, filled with dense printed text.
After looking at the first page, Ling Feng’s heart skipped a beat!
The so-called day-changing plan is a scheme devised by someone to steal funds from The Holy See!
How did Zuo Zhu come to possess this?
Ling Feng was dumbfounded, his mind filled with curiosity.
He then tossed the plan to Pete and picked up the phone to call Mo Jiaolan.
As soon as the call connected, Mo Jiaolan laughed and said, "Zuo Zhu said you would definitely call back."
"Is she with you?" Ling Feng asked.
"No, she went with Little Yu and the others to Lingyun Island. Everyone is busy relocating personnel. However, she told me that the day-changing plan was found on a shipwrecked vessel and was drafted only a few months ago, so it can still be used."
Mo Jiaolan paused, then said, "Zuo Zhu confirmed that the person who drafted the plan died on the shipwrecked vessel. Whether it was an accident or assassination is unknown; the plan hasn’t been implemented, so you can use it as a reference!"
"Is that so? That’s great, I didn’t know how to deal with it!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Yes, take care over there, and we’re waiting for you to return!" Mo Jiaolan said softly.
Ling Feng felt warmth in his heart and immediately nodded, "Alright, don’t worry about me."
After hanging up the phone, he looked up to see Pete seriously reading the plan, so Ling Feng smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"Boss, this person is really capable. I suspect there’s an insider in The Holy See’s treasury!" Pete exclaimed.
Seeing his astonished face, Ling Feng knew the plan was extremely valuable, so he smiled and asked, "There’s a strong possibility. Has anyone in The Holy See disappeared or suffered a shipwreck at sea in the past year?"
"Yes, there is!"
Pete looked up, "Six months ago, more than a dozen staff from The Holy See went to sea, and their ship was overturned by a storm, leaving no survivors!"
"Mm."
Ling Feng nodded, thinking it likely that the exposure of the plan led to The Holy See killing everyone on board. They’d rather kill a thousand innocents than let one person escape.
However, there was another possibility: the person who made the plan wanted to sell it, but ended up double-crossed. Unfortunately, the ones who killed him didn’t find the plan, and it eventually landed in Zuo Zhu’s hands.
This had nothing to do with him, so Ling Feng, not wanting to think more, took the plan from Pete’s hands and began to scrutinize it.
The contents detailed the bank’s layout, security measures, and even hidden surveillance devices meticulously.
The plan also provided some ideas for entering the treasury.
For instance, drilling underground, or posing as firefighters during a fire alarm, to enter.
These methods required a lot of manual labor and moving wealth from the treasury, which weren’t helpful to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng only needed a way to get inside; once in, he could stash everything inside into his bracelet and loot it all!
He wouldn’t even need to leave afterwards, just use a small Teleportation Array to teleport away directly!
The plan also described the personnel managing the treasury, including their routine work style and schedules.
Ling Feng glanced over it; only two people could bypass all defenses to enter the treasury.
And these two needed to cooperate to open the treasury door and enter inside.
Apparently, the breakthrough point for infiltration was these two individuals.
Ling Feng asked Pete, but as a peripheral staff member, he didn’t know or ever heard of them.
Fortunately, the plan had information on these two, and Ling Feng thought of ways to approach them.
The disguise method wouldn’t work — language barriers aside, entering the treasury required an iris scan, which couldn’t be faked.
Thus, the best approach was to control one of them and coerce him into leading the way!
With this in mind, Ling Feng told Pete, "Looks like it’s necessary for you to disguise yourself too!"
"Boss, what’s your plan?" Pete asked.
"Like this..."
Ling Feng motioned for him to come closer and whispered some instructions.
At that moment, Yu Linglong came out of the bedroom, reverted to her original appearance and changed clothes.
Ling Feng smiled at her and said, "You rest here for a moment, I’m off to handle something."
"Oh, okay."
Yu Linglong nodded without asking much.
Then Ling Feng altered Pete’s appearance to avoid leaving any traces that might be tracked later.
After disguising, they went downstairs and walked onto the street together.
The target Ling Feng selected was named Gerard, who didn’t live inside The Holy See but outside in the city of Vatican City.
This person was the best breakthrough point — controlling him meant Ling Feng’s plan could succeed.
Following the address in the files, Ling Feng and Pete quickly arrived at Gerard’s place.
It was a luxury apartment more upscale than Pete’s, home to the wealthy.
When Ling Feng was preparing to use his Divine Sense to locate Gerard, he inadvertently witnessed a strange scene in a room!
An Asian woman and three children were huddled in a corner, shivering with fear in their eyes.
Their situation was caused by a masked man wielding a bright, long knife pointed at them!
What was going on?
Seeing this through his Divine Sense left Ling Feng momentarily stunned.
He scanned the doorplate; this was indeed Gerard’s home, and that woman and children seemed to be his family!
Ling Feng’s heart raced — could someone have had the same idea?
While pondering, Pete tugged at his sleeve: "Boss, that person’s Gerard!"
Turning, Ling Feng saw a stocky man with a Mediterranean hairstyle hastily get out of a car and rush into the apartment!
"Let’s go see what’s happening!"
Ling Feng pulled Pete along and quickly followed!
Without Pete’s help with translating, Ling Feng couldn’t understand what was happening inside Gerard’s apartment.
They had just entered the lobby, when staff approached to ask for ID; otherwise, they couldn’t enter!
Ling Feng swept his gaze, causing one security guard to scream and clutch his head as he fell.
Taking advantage of this, they rushed upstairs.
Gerard had already taken the elevator, and Ling Feng sprinted with Pete, arriving at the door just as he entered.
"Listen to what’s happening inside; I saw his family being held hostage!" Ling Feng whispered.
