Chapter 643: Learning to Kill
Chapter 643: Learning to Kill
Seeing the gleam in Ling Feng’s eyes, Zhou Yi was startled, "Stop fooling around!"
"Hehe, you know you can’t beat me now, don’t you?" Ling Feng said proudly.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yi’s small face lifted, "If I had known you were like this, I shouldn’t have helped you!"
"It’s too late to say anything now, thank you, and thank you Huaihua as well," Ling Feng said with a smile.
With Zhou Yi’s thoughtful arrangements and Huaihua’s contributions, he felt extremely happy at that moment!
The atmosphere in the room was very cozy, but just as Ling Feng finished speaking, Huaihua’s phone rang.
Since the phone was on the coffee table, both Ling Feng and Zhou Yi saw the caller ID, which was none other than Lu Changsheng.
Huaihua felt puzzled, and without picking up the phone, answered on speakerphone, "Classmate Lu, are you looking for me?"
"Hey, where are you? Why didn’t you come to class?" Lu Changsheng asked.
"Uh, I’m outside, something held me up..."
Clearly not good at lying, Huaihua’s voice wavered, and her face was very embarrassed.
Lu Changsheng, who didn’t know if he had noticed anything from his end, paused before he continued, "The teacher took attendance just now, and I had the girl next to me cover for you, but the next class is taught by the vice dean, and no one dares to respond for you."
"I understand, I’ll rush back right away!"
After hearing this, Huaihua hung up the phone quickly, then stood up, "I need to go back for class..."
"Alright, I’ll take you!"
Zhou Yi also stood up and said.
Ling Feng was about to say he wanted to go as well, but Zhou Yi turned back to look at him, "You don’t need to come, just check in with Wang Laogen to see how things are."
Knowing she wanted some private time with Huaihua, Ling Feng didn’t insist and nodded, "Alright then, by the way, Huaihua has changed a lot, she might attract a lot of curiosity, could you handle it?"
"I know, you don’t need to worry!" Zhou Yi nodded.
Everyone went their separate ways, and after Ling Feng freshened up, he checked the time and saw it was already past nine in the morning. He then opened the door and went to the room next door, pushing the door and entering.
Inside the room, it was not only Wang Laogen but also Mo Lan; the father and daughter looked up at him, both surprised!
"What’s wrong? Do I have flowers on my face?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled, touching his own face.
"You don’t have flowers, but your face is glowing. Is there something to be happy about?" Wang Laogen asked.
Ling Feng was startled, "No way, you can see that?"
After saying that, he went straight to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror before saying with confusion, "No, I feel quite normal!"
"You can’t see it yourself, are you feeling so beautiful that you’re about to burst into tears?" Wang Laogen asked with a laugh.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and walked out of the bathroom, plonking himself onto the sofa, "Say whatever you want, but don’t expect to get anything out of me!"
Turning his head, he looked at Mo Lan, "You’re here too?"
"Mhm."
Mo Lan was her usual cold self, nodding slightly.
Ling Feng, used to her demeanor, didn’t say more, looking at Wang Laogen, "So, what’s up?"
"You’ve come at the right time!"
Wang Laogen said, then turned to Mo Lan, "Daughter, you tell him."
"Okay."
Mo Lan nodded, "We’ve found out who broke into the Luo Family last night!"
"It wasn’t Luo Qianyang, was it?" Ling Feng asked anxiously.
"No, it was one of his classmates. By the time I found the person, he had already passed the contents of the safe to someone else," Mo Lan said.
Ling Feng, "What was it? Who did he give it to?"
"Apparently, several documents, which seem to be property rights documents related to the Luo Family’s estate," replied Mo Lan.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and scratched his head, "What is Luo Qianyang up to now?"
Wang Laogen chuckled, "What else could it be? It looks like he’s plotting to seize the Luo Family’s assets!"
"Is this kid out of his mind?"
Ling Feng sneered, "He dares to come back? I still have an unsettled score with him. It’ll be perfect if he does return!"
"He doesn’t need to return. He can just find a proxy to file the lawsuit," Mo Lan said calmly.
"Really?"
Ling Feng paused for a moment, then perplexed, he asked, "Could it be that just with those documents, Luo Qianyang can take away the Luo Family’s estate?"
After hearing Mo Lan’s words, his heart sank.
Ling Feng had no interest in the Luo Family’s wealth, but it was all the hard work of Zhang Lan and Li Yun. Over the years, they each managed their affairs to accrue today’s capital of several billion. The two elders of the Luo Family had almost just reaped the benefits.
If that wealth was taken away, how heartbroken would Zhang Lan and others be?
"Theoretically, yes. We’re still not sure what those documents really are, but if Luo Qianyang truly intends to sue, it means he must have a strong hand that could lead to a victory!" Wang Laogen explained.
"So, what do we do? Just sit and watch him succeed?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng became anxious, stood up immediately, and looked at Mo Lan and Wang Laogen, "Then how about this, help me find out where this kid is. I’ll go abroad myself and finish him off!"
Wang Laogen looked at him, "Don’t be rash. If it were that simple, I would have sent you abroad to find him long ago!"
"Luo Qianyang has been very low-profile these days. We only know that he’s in the Middle East but can’t find his exact location. You wouldn’t be able to find him even if you went," added Mo Lan.
"So what? We don’t have any other options?" Ling Feng inquired.
"Not necessarily. Let’s see what his next move is and adapt accordingly," said Wang Laogen.
Ling Feng: "..."
So much for having a plan. This is just reactionary at best!
Just as he was about to speak again, Wang Laogen changed the subject, "There’s also news about Luo Qianyu!"
"Uh, what’s going on with her?" Ling Feng, having his attention shifted, immediately asked.
"That girl, she actually found herself a mentor!" said Wang Laogen.
Ling Feng gave an ’oh’ and said, "I heard her mentioning ’training’ during yesterday’s video call. What is she learning?"
Wang Laogen gave a cryptic smile, "Don’t be shocked when I tell you. She’s learning how to kill!"
"..."
How could Ling Feng not be surprised? After a moment of shock, his eyes widened, "Is she bored out of her mind? Learning to kill? From whom?"
"You wouldn’t know even if I told you. That person is among the top ten assassins in the world, codenamed Reaper," Wang Laogen revealed.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng thought to himself that Luo Qianyu’s way of thinking was indeed unfathomable. How had she managed to find a top assassin in the world and learn how to kill? Surely, she wasn’t planning to come back and use it on me, right?
The more he thought about it, the more possible and yet unbelievable it seemed, so he suddenly fell silent.
Just then, Wang Laogen added, "You’d better keep this to yourself, don’t tell Zhang Lan."
"What?" Ling Feng looked at him, "Are you suggesting we don’t stop Luo Qianyu from going crazy?"
"Why stop her? It’s incredibly rare for the Reaper to take on any disciple. Having this opportunity is simply too precious!" Wang Laogen said, smiling.
