Chapter 318: Operation Failed

In the distance, green light spots flickered; this was the signal Lin Feng and Luo Sitong had agreed upon.

Over on Luo Sitong's side, everything was ready; three hundred Divine Dragon Guards were all hidden in the shadows, prepared to act at any moment.

Thus, Lin Feng did not dawdle any longer; he pulled out the rubber stopper from the test tube and injected his True Qi into it.

Under the stimulation of the True Qi, the spices inside the test tube immediately became active, forming a crimson mist that emerged from the mouth of the tube.

A strong fragrance suddenly permeated the surroundings; this scent was so thick and pungent that it even made Lin Feng feel dizzy.

Ten minutes passed.

All the spices had completely evaporated.

Yet the surrounding area was still filled with the thick fragrance, which was extremely long-lasting.

However, the Hidden Demon Sect's Hou Elder, Tong Shanghai, did not appear.

Lin Feng was not anxious and continued to wait there, so time ticked away second by second.

Yet Lin Feng waited from ten o'clock until twelve o'clock, well into the middle of the night, and the Hidden Demon Sect's Hou Elder, Tong Shanghai, still had not appeared!

Moreover, Lin Feng was absolutely certain that the other party had not shown up; he had been keeping an eye on the surroundings the entire time, but from start to finish, no unfamiliar aura had approached!

"Could the method be wrong?" Lin Feng muttered to himself.

Green light spots flickered in the distance, so Lin Feng no longer waited there foolishly; he casually struck out a bolt of True Qi, and the golden-red True Qi shot into mid-air like fireworks.

Dragon Soul Branch building.

Lin Feng sat on the sofa with a depressed look on his face, beginning to review the night's operation.

However, Lin Feng did not discover any flaws.

Luo Sitong said, "I can guarantee that we were not discovered by Tong Shanghai, so it definitely wasn't that Tong Shanghai discovered us and fled; Tong Shanghai never appeared at all."

Lin Feng said, "Then there is a problem with the Demon Tiger's intelligence. General Captain Luo, contact General Captain Lei in Jinling immediately to see what exactly is going on."

"Yes, Mr. Lin," Luo Sitong nodded and said.

"I'm heading back to the hotel first; contact me the moment there is a result," Lin Feng said.

It was already past one o'clock when Lin Feng returned to the hotel.

He had just stepped out of the elevator and hadn't even reached the door of his suite when he saw someone sitting against the wall by the door.

Who else could it be but Chen Yilin!

Lin Feng frowned, walked over with long strides, and said, "What are you here for again?"

However, Chen Yilin did not make a sound.

Lin Feng looked closely and realized that this damn woman had actually fallen asleep; crystal-clear drool was flowing from the corner of her mouth, dripping onto her dress.

Lin Feng reached out and gave her a push, and Chen Yilin finally woke up in a start.

"Who... who..." Chen Yilin, having just woken up, clearly hadn't gathered her wits yet and shouted in a panic.

"It's me," Lin Feng said.

Chen Yilin finally calmed down, then stood up joyfully and threw herself into Lin Feng's embrace.

Lin Feng, however, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away.

"What are you here for again?" Lin Feng asked.

Chen Yilin was very embarrassed, blushing with her head lowered, her two small hands having nowhere to rest.

"I'm asking you a question!" Lin Feng said irritably.

Chen Yilin finally said shyly, "I... I missed you."

"Why miss me? What is there to miss? We aren't boyfriend and girlfriend," Lin Feng said displeased.

"But I just missed you, Brother Lin."

As Chen Yilin spoke, she grabbed Lin Feng's hand and shook his arm as if acting spoiled.

Lin Feng shook off Chen Yilin's hand and said, "I have already cured your mother's leukemia, so stop pestering me. I have a wife; I told you that last night, have you forgotten?"

Chen Yilin grabbed Lin Feng's hand again and said, "I don't care, and I won't destroy the relationship between you and your lover. I just want to... just want to keep you company while you haven't left yet."

"I don't need you to keep me company," Lin Feng said.

"Then keep me company, won't you..." Although Chen Yilin was very shy, her words were quite bold.

Lin Feng was also amused to the point of anger by her, and his bad mood from the failed operation dissipated.

Opening the door and entering the suite, Lin Feng closed the door behind him.

Chen Yilin naturally took off her coat, leaving her in nothing but a thin, gauze-like camisole.

"Shall... shall we rest?" Chen Yilin said with a blushing face, leaning in closer.

Consequently, the wisps of fragrance emanating from her body kept drilling into Lin Feng's nose.

Chen Yilin being so proactive made Lin Feng feel itchy inside.

In any case, they had already done that deed, and such things only have the difference between zero times and countless times; since that was the case, why worry so much?

Lin Feng did not hesitate any longer; he grabbed Chen Yilin's small hand, pulled her into his arms, and carried her horizontally toward the double bed.

The next morning, Lin Feng had just opened his eyes when his harsh phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

He grabbed the phone from the nightstand, glanced at the caller ID, and saw that the call was from Luo Sitong, the General Captain of the Binhai Dragon Soul Branch.

Last night, Lin Feng had asked Luo Sitong to contact Lei Dong; now that Luo Sitong was calling, there should be a result.

So Lin Feng answered immediately, and Luo Sitong's voice came through the phone: "Mr. Lin, I have already contacted General Captain Lei. General Captain Lei said that there might be a problem with the intelligence provided by the Demon Tiger and that the spice formula was wrong; he is currently re-interrogating the Demon Tiger."

"And then?" Lin Feng asked.

"General Captain Lei said he would contact me once the interrogation yields results," Luo Sitong said.

"I thought there was a result; is that all after all this time?" Lin Feng said displeased.

Luo Sitong said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Lin, please understand. As a Protector of the Hidden Demon Sect, the Demon Tiger is truly too stubborn, and he is the only survivor now; if we accidentally kill him, all leads will be cut off."

"So General Captain Lei is also in a very difficult position and does not dare to use overly intense methods when interrogating the Demon Tiger."

This is where the power of the Soul Searching Technique manifests.

If Lei Dong had also mastered the Soul Searching Technique like Lin Feng, he would not need to waste time at all and could directly obtain the desired intelligence from the Demon Tiger's head.

Lin Feng then said, "Tell Lei Dong to interrogate and get results as soon as possible; if there is no good news within three days, I will personally make a trip to Jinling."

"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Luo Sitong said hurriedly, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.

Suddenly, Chen Yilin let out a soft moan and woke up from her sleep.

Although Chen Yilin's voice was not very loud, Luo Sitong on the other end of the phone still heard it.

"Mr. Lin, which woman are you with?" Luo Sitong asked curiously, his soul of gossip seemingly already beginning to burn fiercely.

Lin Feng's face turned red, and he then scolded, "Do not ask about things you shouldn't."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Luo Sitong said hurriedly.
