Chapter 1491 - 1490: Turning Their Own Tricks Against Them
There was a clear hint of disappointment in Lin Chen’s eyes, but he said nothing and just nodded, "Alright then, I’ll see you two out."
"Thanks for the trouble!"
Ling Feng nodded and then left the security bureau with Ling Ling.
After going downstairs and stepping out, after taking a few steps, Ling Feng asked, "What’s gotten into you today?"
Ling Ling loosened her grip, glanced at him, and said, "I have no interest in mortal emotions nor in socializing or entertaining. Saying this is the easiest way to interrupt the other party’s thoughts, isn’t it?"
"Hmm, that’s right!"
Ling Feng nodded and then laughed, "From the time you arrived at Nine Heavens till now, you’ve made quite some progress!"
"Yeah, I later realized you tricked me into coming here, but it’s fine, getting to know so many sisters is also quite a gain!"
Ling Ling spoke straightforwardly, speaking as she walked.
Ling Feng chuckled but said nothing and then hailed a taxi.
Back at the hotel, both Ling Ling and Xia Lan were condensed entities, who weren’t interested in eating, and it didn’t mean much whether they ate or not.
Ling Feng also didn’t have much of an appetite, so he simply decided not to eat.
The two got out of the car and entered the lobby with plans to head upstairs directly, but before reaching the elevator, Ling Feng suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and couldn’t help but look back.
In the lobby, there was a row of sofas for guests to rest temporarily, convenient while waiting for friends or handling procedures.
At this time, only a few people were sitting there, among them a young man with short hair, who had been locking his gaze on them since they came through the door, never once looking away!
Not until Ling Feng turned back did the young man hurriedly avert his gaze.
This is definitely suspicious!
Ling Feng thought for a moment, then after entering the elevator, pressed the button for the second floor, and said to Ling Ling, "You go upstairs first, I’ll stay to check things out. There’s someone quite suspicious in the lobby!"
"Oh, alright."
Ling Ling didn’t object, and when the elevator reached the second floor, she pressed the button to directly go back upstairs after Ling Feng got out.
Seeing hotel staff and cleaners in the hallway, Ling Feng stepped into a nearby public restroom.
When he came out, the Invisibility Ring had been activated, and no one could see him anymore.
Then, through the fire escape, Ling Feng went back down to the lobby on the first floor.
The young man was still there, looking somewhat distracted, occasionally glancing at the elevator entrance.
Ling Feng silently approached close, and the people on the sofa didn’t notice at all.
The young man was fiddling with his phone, and Ling Feng, standing behind him, noticed it was a chat application. He was sending messages to someone.
The top message read: "The person has gone up."
Followed by a reply from the other side: "Don’t rush, maybe they’ll come out again later!"
"Got it, but what if they don’t come out?"
This message hadn’t been replied to yet, and Ling Feng couldn’t help but chuckle.
Secretly observing and tracking me, this person must be from the Tongtian Cult!
Who else could it be?
"These guys are really relentless, having already lost two people, they still want to try something?"
As Ling Feng was thinking, another message came in on the young man’s phone. Squinting, he saw the content: "If they don’t come out, just keep waiting until tonight!"
The young man clearly seemed displeased, sighed softly, and quickly replied: "Wait all afternoon? Won’t that exhaust me? What’s with the boss, I heard something happened here last night, won’t we get into trouble too?"
Watching this, Ling Feng suddenly felt puzzled.
How come it seems that this person isn’t in cahoots with the two from last night?
After waiting a bit longer, a new message appeared on the young man’s phone: "We’re just keeping watch, what trouble could there be? Be patient; if tonight is successful, the boss will reward you handsomely!"
"Alright."
The young man quickly replied with two words, then turned off the chat app, leaning back on the sofa with his arms crossed.
Now Ling Feng didn’t quite know what to do.
Staying wasn’t right, leaving wasn’t right either.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng figured that since his Divine Sense could lock onto this place, why wait here idly? Returning to the room to lie down would work just as well!
So he turned around and directly took the elevator upstairs.
Back in the room, throwing himself onto the sofa, Ling Feng’s Divine Sense was still locked onto the young man.
Time passed by second by second, until two in the afternoon, when Ling Feng’s phone rang.
Seeing a local number, Ling Feng quickly sat up to answer: "This is Ling Feng."
"Colonel Ling, we have traced the truck’s destination, but unfortunately, the other party delivered everything to a suburban dump and dumped it directly!" Lin Chen said.
"How cunning!"
Ling Feng also sighed with frustration upon hearing this.
Then suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he quickly said, "Don’t worry, if this doesn’t work, we have other ways!"
"What are they?" Lin Chen was momentarily stunned, then quickly asked.
"We’ll talk later, wait for my call!"
Ling Feng said, and after hanging up, went to the room where Xia Lan and Ling Ling were.
Upon entering, he found both women meditating with their eyes closed. Detecting Ling Feng’s arrival, Xia Lan opened her eyes: "How’s it going?"
"The leads are cut off, but that person downstairs might be a breakthrough. I think we can now play a trick to lure the snake out of its hole!" Ling Feng smiled.
"Alright, how are you planning to go about it?" Xia Lan asked.
Ling Feng shared his idea, and a few minutes later, he went downstairs back to the young man.
This guy was quite impatient, squirming on the sofa as if there were worms beneath him.
But he was at least diligent, despite his restlessness, he still glanced towards the elevator now and then, afraid of missing something.
Seeing this, Ling Feng felt assured, thinking to himself that he didn’t need to remind them. This guy would soon notice Ling Ling and the others.
After a while, Xia Lan and Ling Ling came out of the elevator, both wearing sunglasses.
The young man immediately sat up straight, quickly pulling out his phone: "Boss, those two women came out!"
"Good, come out to the car and follow them!" the other side said.
"Phew!"
Hearing this, the young man let out a long breath and quickly stood up.
Before Xia Lan and Ling Ling could exit, he briskly walked out, then went to the parking lot and got into a black business car.
As soon as he got in and was about to close the door, he found that the door wouldn’t close, as if blocked by some great force!
In his confusion, a great force struck, knocking the young man onto the seat, while he watched the door slam shut with a bang.
The driver in the front and a burly man in the passenger seat both froze, turning to glare at the young man: "What the hell are you up to!"
