Chapter 142: No Benefit, No Deal

Zhang Yao's matter is settled.

On the afternoon of the 4th, Zhao Xiaoyang called Lin Feng, saying he and his mother were going on a trip and asking if Lin Feng wanted to come along.

Lin Feng politely declined.

Traveling during holidays means every scenic spot is overcrowded; that's not a trip, it's a torment.

Because his nose is too keen, Lin Feng never goes to crowded places unless necessary.

Evening.

Lin Feng was squatting at home reading.

To be precise, he was closing his eyes and browsing a book stored in his mind.

The book came from Shu Jingya.

It was a very ancient Daoist classic, authored by a cultivator.

It described a variety of postures and the breathing methods that accompany them.

It is said that after mastering it, one can not only increase neural excitement but also strengthen the body, turning consumption into great nourishment.

Lin Feng was getting into the study when the doorbell rang.

Who is it?

Lin Feng, who was at the key spot, got a little annoyed and got up from the sofa.

At the door, he leaned over the peephole to look outside.

The person appearing outside the door surprised him.

Bai Ying, and Detachment Captain Liu.

When Lin Feng opened the door, a smile already appeared on his face.

Captain Liu, Major Bai, please come in!

Lin Feng said warmly.

The two entered the house and changed shoes.

Please have a seat, both of you!

Lin Feng opened the refrigerator, took out two bottles of iced tea, and placed them before the two.

Thank you!

Bai Ying replied politely.

Team Captain Liu was less polite; after picking up the bottle and unscrewing the cap, he gulped down more than half in one go.

Lin Feng also sat down, smiling, "You both came over together, there must be something important, right?"

While speaking, Lin Feng gave Team Captain Liu a cigarette.

After lighting the cigarette, Team Captain Liu took a deep drag and said lightly, "There's a case that needs your help."

"Hmm?"

Lin Feng looked at Detachment Captain Liu with a puzzled expression.

Detachment Captain Liu said, "It's like this…"

As he spoke, he pulled a photo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took it, looked at it, and at first glance the young man in the photo actually resembled him a few degrees.

But on closer inspection, there were many differences.

First, the hairstyle.

Lin Feng's hair is longer, cut into shaggy strands.

The young man in the photo has short hair.

And the eyebrows; Lin Feng's eyebrows are thicker, and his face is slimmer…

"He doesn't look like me at all!"

Lin Feng had already guessed a few points, shook his head and said.

Detachment Captain Liu said, "Because there is some resemblance, makeup can make it eighty to ninety percent similar.

The situation is this: the man is named Gao Wu, twenty-six this year, a member of a foreign smuggling *** gang.

This time he led a few people to try to contact a certain counterfeit-coin gang over in Yunsheng.

He has now been captured by us and has disclosed everything. We now need someone to meet that group.

But releasing Gao Wu now is impossible, so we thought of you."

"I won't do it!"

Team Captain Liu finished speaking, and Lin Feng shook his head in refusal without a second thought.

He, a boss with assets in the hundreds of billions, would become an undercover.

Isn't that a waste of talent?

Am I being too low‑key?

Seeing Lin Feng refuse, Detachment Captain Liu and Bai Ying showed no surprise on their faces.

They had known this would happen long ago.

If Lin Feng had agreed outright, that would have been strange!

Bai Ying took from her bag a document, a *** handgun, and a gun permit, and placed them before Lin Feng.

"What does that mean?"

Lin Feng said in surprise.

Bai Ying smiled, "Our Special Police Brigade hires you as a special consultant; you can look at the terms above, they're very lenient.

As long as you sign them, you will have legal gun‑carrying paperwork. Of course, having a gun doesn't mean you can fire at will."

Because you fired a gun and caused casualties, you will undergo a strict investigation.

We know you are a billionaire, and despite your skill you haven't hired a Biao Biao; I think this gun can make you feel more at ease.

Of course, we can approve the request also because you have earned several merits…」

After Bai Ying finished speaking, Lin Feng was moved.

He picked up the gun and skillfully removed the magazine.

There wasn't a single bullet inside.

Then in a few motions he disassembled the gun and reassembled it.

Such rapid movements left Detachment Captain Liu and Bai Ying staring in amazement.

"Modified, the sensitivity increased; I like it!"

Lin Feng held the gun, looking as if he couldn't put it down, and said.

Detachment Captain Liu and Bai Ying both burst into laughter.

After Lin Feng set the gun down, he glanced at the consultant contract, which contained no mandatory clauses.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and signed his name on it.

This indicates that Lin Feng agreed.

"Where are the bullets?"

Lin Feng asked.

Bai Ying again took three magazines from her bag, each containing 15 rounds.

Lin Feng asked again, "When you practice shooting and run out of bullets, what do you do?"

Detachment Captain Liu frowned and said, "Practice at a shooting range! These 45 rounds, unless a special situation arises, you'll never need them in your lifetime!"

Remember, it's only a safety guarantee, not a license to casually brandish it to threaten others or even fire at someone.

Lin Feng nodded.

"It's getting late today; come to the bureau tomorrow, and we'll discuss the case in detail, and there will be a partner joining you."

Detachment Captain Liu finished speaking and stood up.

"Take care, both of you!"

Lin Feng escorted the two out the door.

After playing in the room for a while, Lin Feng quickly lost interest.

This thing seems difficult to ordinary people, but some Biao Biao of wealthy individuals possess this qualification.

On the morning of the 5th, Lin Feng entered Detachment Captain Liu's office.

Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Detachment Captain Liu was pleased and immediately convened a meeting with the relevant personnel.

There weren't many people; including Lin Feng, there were only a few present.

Detachment Captain Liu, Bai Ying, a pretty young woman, and a lean middle‑aged man were present.

Detachment Captain Liu gave an introduction.

The middle‑aged man was named Wu Cheng, who specializes in investigating counterfeit money cases.

The young woman, named Wu Qian, graduated from police academy, then worked at a bank, also a professional in the currency industry.

Wu Qian is Wu Cheng's daughter.

Wu Cheng frowned and said, "With technological advancement, cracking methods become more sophisticated, and such cases increase, affecting our finance and people's livelihood…"

After Wu Cheng finished speaking, Detachment Captain Liu introduced Wu Qian to Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, Wu Qian will be your partner for this operation…"
