Chapter 144: The Other Side Is So Cunning

On the morning of the 6th, dawn had just broken.

"From now on, Lin Feng, you are Gao Wu. And Wu Qian, you are Li Li. The two of you are in a couple relationship…"

Before departure, Detachment Captain Liu reminded them again.

After all, Lin Feng and Wu Qian were both doing this for the first time and lacked extensive experience.

But there was nothing that could be done; the time was too short.

Lin Feng and Wu Qian nodded.

Detachment Captain Liu also told them not to worry; Major Bai had already sent people ahead, and Zhong Zhi Nei could arrive to support at a moment's notice.

Liu Cheng pulled his daughter Wu Qian aside and said a few words.

After that, Lin Feng and Wu Qian set off, boarding a plane bound for Yunsheng.

At 12 p. m., Lin Feng and Wu Qian finally arrived in Kunming City, Yunsheng, and left the airport.

Lin Feng's hairstyle had been changed to short hair, a jade Guanyin pendant hung around his neck, and he wore a string of beads on his wrist.

He wore a pink plaid shirt with a white suit jacket and trousers, looking much more frivolous than before.

Wu Qian dyed her long hair brown‑yellow, curled it into big waves, and wore a low‑cut, flowing long dress.

After leaving the airport, she linked arms with Lin Feng.

It was their first close contact; Wu Qian was still a bit unaccustomed, but as they walked, she gradually adapted.

Upon arrival they still needed some preparation and wouldn't rush to the rendezvous for the secret code.

The two boarded a black sedan.

Bai Ying was in the car, distributing weapons and gear to them.

Lin Feng's *** finally returned to his body, attached to his waist.

Wu Qian received a compact pistol and slipped it directly into her portable Backpack.

"These people are very cunning; they have specialized devices. Apart from guns and phones, any other electronic equipment will expose you, so you'll need to improvise on the spot, and if a task becomes impossible, you can abandon it at any time…"

After Bai Ying finished briefing, she stopped the car.

Then Lin Feng got out, took the car keys, and together with Wu Qian boarded a second‑hand BMW that had been parked by the roadside for a while.

"Nervous?"

After getting in, Lin Feng turned his head to glance at Wu Qian.

Wu Qian inhaled deeply, "Indeed, I'm a bit nervous."

Lin Feng said calmly, "Don't be nervous; I've got everything. Just play the role of a good girlfriend."

If Gao Wu and his girlfriend Li Li hadn't been captured, and the other side knew someone like Li Li existed, they would never have sent Wu Qian over.

The main reason was that Li Li also possessed some counterfeit‑note detection skills, and Wu Qian's facial features closely resembled Li Li's.

Lin Feng drove the BMW along the road, and after more than an hour, arrived at the unassuming entrance of an inn.

After getting out, Lin Feng, now assuming the identity of Gao Wu, and Wu Qian entered the inn, showed their IDs, and booked room 506.

It was actually the 4th floor, room 6.

To avoid the unlucky connotation of the 4th floor, they simply renumbered it as the 5th floor.

They took the elevator up, opened the door, and entered the room.

It was a suite: a living room outside, a private bedroom, and a large bathroom.

From now on, the two were already within some people's line of sight.

A housekeeping staff member saw someone in room 506 and immediately grabbed a phone to dial a number.

When the call connected, they informed the other party that room 506 was occupied.

The staff member wasn't on the other side's team; they were just a money‑collector.

All they had to do for the next two days was monitor whether anyone stayed in room 506, make a call to report, and they could earn a few hundred yuan.

After the staff member finished the call, they quickly received a transfer of a few hundred yuan.

Then, the number he called was certainly out of service…

In the evening, Lin Feng was sitting on the sofa smoking, while Wu Qian was playing on her phone to ease her nerves, when the doorbell rang.

Lin Feng got up, leaned over the peephole, and glanced outside.

A young man wearing glasses stood outside.

Lin Feng opened the door, and the glasses‑wearing man smiled, asking, "May I ask if you are Mr. Liu Zhihe?"

They began the secret‑code exchange.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not Liu Zhihe, but I know Liu Zhihe lives next door."

The glasses‑wearing man nodded, pulled a sheet of paper from his coat, and handed it to Lin Feng, "This is the address; please leave immediately. A car is waiting for the two of you downstairs."

Lin Feng nodded, turned his head and called, "Li Li, let's go!"

Wu Qian replied, and instantly picked up the small Backpack placed on the coffee table.

The two followed the glasses‑wearing man out of the inn and got into a black SUV at the entrance.

Only a middle‑aged man sat in the driver's seat.

After Lin Feng and Li Li got in, the middle‑aged man immediately set the car in motion.

He glanced at the driver, then turned his head to look at the glasses‑wearing man who had already turned and walked away at the doorway.

Lin Feng believed that even if they captured those two, they wouldn't be able to extract anything.

Because they were still just money‑collectors.

The car kept driving, passing through countless alleys, and finally stopped in front of an old concrete building on the outskirts of the city.

"Brother, we've arrived."

The driver said lightly.

After the two got out of the car, the driver drove the car away.

Lin Feng and Li Li exchanged a glance and walked into the concrete building.

Da Men was open.

But once the two entered the room, the two wooden doors slammed shut with a Bang.

The lights were turned on.

The sudden brightness in the room made Lin Feng's eyes narrow slightly.

Wu Qian, a little nervous, clutched Lin Feng's arm tightly.

It was a main hall; a bald man in a black T‑shirt with a protruding belly sat beside the Eight Immortals table, while on the other side sat a flamboyantly dressed woman in her thirties.

On each side stood three young men exuding a bandit aura, each brandishing a knife.

The bald man chuckled, "Brother, sorry! Routine check—you know the rules."

Lin Feng nodded.

The bald man gestured with his hand.

Then a young man stepped forward to search Lin Feng's body, and the flamboyant woman searched Wu Qian's body as well.

The gun was certainly taken out.

The bald man's eyes lit up as he said, "Fine goods!"

Lin Feng snatched the retrieved gun, frowned, and said, "This thing isn't against the rules, right? If we can't even bring it, then this trip is over."

The bald man said, "You may bring the gun, but not the phone! Rest assured, I guarantee it won't be damaged; if it's lost, we'll pay ten times the compensation."

Lin Feng nodded.

The bald man still wasn't satisfied, so he had someone scan both of them with a device‑scanner for electronic equipment.

After finding no issues, he led the two to the backyard.

A van was parked in the yard.

Two of the bald man's subordinates drove the van back into the city, winding through many turns before entering an inn.

At this point, Lin Feng could be sure that Bai Ying and the others had already lost track of them.

The criminals are becoming increasingly cunning now.

Some of the methods they employ are unpredictable.

When Lin Feng and Wu Qian got out of the car, a young man in the vehicle laughed, "The room is already booked—Room 1013. You'll stay two days; someone will contact you. Have a pleasant stay!"

After saying that, he drove away.

"What should we do?"

Wu Qian whispered in Lin Feng's ear.

Lin Feng said calmly, "Since they've circled a few times, the later matters have become complicated; we could give up."

After speaking, Lin Feng looked at the towering building before him.

This arrangement shows that the other side wants to know whether they are actually a couple.

If so, they'll have to do something in the room.

Wu Qian also realized this issue.

Her first thought was to give up.

But thinking that this mission was crucial, and that after its completion her old father could retire, she gritted her teeth and said, "Better… continue!"
