Chapter 172: The Grand Ambitions of Li Ziqi

10 a. m. on the 23rd.

Second floor of Fierce Tiger Gym.

Lin Feng looked at the USB drive placed on the coffee table, along with Fang Heng and seven other people.

After making such a ruckus last night, we have to find an excuse to smooth things over!

Bai Ying's crew isn't that easy to fool.

We just asked him for help, and that very night he took care of the matter.

That's way too fantastical.

Lin Feng said calmly, "Don't worry! Everything's settled. Fang Heng, you take them down for placement."

Fang Heng nodded.

Then he and Yang Yi and the others got up and left.

Lin Feng touched his bald head, thinking that when he showed up last night wearing a hat, those guys probably didn't realize he was bald.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Lin Feng said calmly, "It's easy. When Major Bai arrives later, just listen to how I'll explain it to him."

After speaking, he picked up the USB drive from the coffee table and plugged it into his laptop.

He opened it, looked, and shook his head.

It was an experimental engine for a sixth‑generation aircraft.

In other words, the design schematics for a hypersonic warplane engine.

Holding this in his hand was of no use to Lin Feng.

Building such an engine isn't something you can just do by setting up a random manufacturing company.

The investment runs into tens of billions.

Moreover, this thing is military‑grade, so it can't be handled.

But with these schematics, it'll be easy to explain to Bai Ying.

"Brother, what's the point of keeping these people?"

Zhao Xiaoyang scratched his head.

He suddenly felt that the reasons Lin Feng gave earlier were a bit far‑fetched.

Lin Feng touched his already sore scalp and said calmly, "I plan to buy a Satellite later for my own use."

"Ah~"

Zhao Xiaoyang's face was full of surprise.

Lin Feng said, "I guess Guo Jia would disallow it, since Satellites are also for military use. But think about it—later, we could communicate without using the current Internet.

When there's nothing urgent, we could browse scenery worldwide, and if we get lost in the wilderness, we could instantly point the Satellite overhead—how awesome is that!"

We shouldn't limit our gaze to Earth; when we're old and near death, I've decided to go to Mars for a one‑way trip…

Fang Heng, Yang Yi and their crew can, when idle, help write software, make a game, and later, when we have a Satellite, let them help operate it.

Since they're all programmers, even if they haven't dealt with this before, a quick lesson should get them up to speed.

Zhao Xiaoyang was left a bit bewildered by Lin Feng's sky‑full of ideas.

It took him a good while to come back to his senses.

Now that's how a billionaire‑playboy does it!

Lin Feng added, "Say I build a house on the Moon and rent it out—how much rent could I collect per month?"

"Um~"

Zhao Xiaoyang was stunned.

Lin Feng chuckled, "Just kidding with you!"

Zhao Xiaoyang thought, only you know whether it's a joke.

Then the two lit cigars.

A dozen minutes later, Major Bai arrived.

Two places had deaths last night.

And they were all taken out by Lin Feng.

An abandoned factory and two people in a nearby old building—six people in total.

After entering the victims' appearances into the database, their identities for three of them were quickly retrieved.

All were high‑level assassins wanted by Interpol.

These individuals roamed the world, committing many crimes, and unexpectedly fell into Lin Feng's hands.

After sitting down, Bai Ying took out a file and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at it and gave a slight smile.

"I want to know how you found them?"

Bai Ying frowned and said.

"It's simple!"

Lin Feng said calmly, "When you need to locate someone in those back‑alleys, there's no faster than Society People. As long as you pay enough, there's no one they can't find."

That reason was a bit far‑fetched.

Lin Feng pulled the USB drive from his laptop, handed it to Bai Ying and said, "Those people came for this."

It's a newly developed sixth‑generation aircraft engine from a certain company; it's useless to me, but for Guo Jia it should be priceless!"

Bai Ying, looking shocked, took the USB drive from Lin Feng's hand.

Lin Feng added, "Actually someone heard gunshots in that area and alerted me, so I rushed over. The woman who died was named Wang Weixiao; she had previously joined a hacker group and, when infiltrating a target's system, copied out a piece of data."

That group came for this document…

I see!

Bai Ying looked into Lin Feng's eyes, a puzzled expression on her face, and said…

Lin Feng spread his hands. "That's how it is, nothing complicated. If you don't believe me, then don't come to me anymore. I'm a billionaire, running errands for you every day, and I really feel it's not worth it."

After speaking, Lin Feng again wore that originally haughty expression.

It had the air of Bai Ying offering a few comforting words, then abandoning the task altogether.

Bai Ying said earnestly, "What we value is not your money, but your ability. All the billionaires in the world combined can't beat you alone. Moreover, if this document is genuine, you've achieved a great feat."

Lin Feng chuckled.

He earned a merit, but there's no reward.

Bai Ying sighed inwardly, wondering why this guy is so rich.

Otherwise, we could definitely recruit him into the team, give him some ideological training, make him strictly obey discipline, and become a sharp blade serving the country and the people.

"Alright!" Bai Ying nodded. "I'll write your explanation into a report for the records. From now on, there will be no further doubts about you."

"Major Bai must be very busy, so I won't see you off."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

Bai Ying reluctantly stood up and took her leave.

When she reached the stairs, she turned back, waved the USB drive in her hand toward Lin Feng and said, "If it's genuine, we'll apply for a special medal for you!"

"Stop!"

Lin Feng jumped up in shock, "I don't want to be received by big shots! If you keep doing this, would you believe me if I emigrated abroad?"

Bai Ying said with a smile, "Lin Feng, you don't understand now, but you'll see the benefits later."

Having said that, she left immediately.

Zhao Xiaoyang saw Bai Ying walk out of the gym's Da Men, scratched his head and asked, "What does her last sentence mean?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, "How could I not understand? After she said that, I feel much more at ease."

At noon, Lin Feng had a takeout meal with Zhao Xiaoyang at the gym.

Then Zhao Xiaoyang made a call and invited Wang Yu to come out.

After obtaining Lin Feng's consent, he told Wang Yu that Brother Feng was there.

Then, not only Wang Yu, Jiang Xiaofei, Li ZiQi, and Zhou Ya from the same dorm all rushed over.

Gym, first floor.

Li ZiQi glanced upstairs, and upon seeing Jiang Xiaofei, her eyes were full of envy.

Zhou Ya saw Li ZiQi's gaze and whispered, "Stop looking, we're just the supporting green leaves, let's just be honest green leaves!"

Li ZiQi shook her head slightly and said, "I just want to try it once, just once! Otherwise I'd feel this whole life has been wasted."

"And then?"

Zhou Ya frowned and said.

Li ZiQi shook her head, "And then… I never even thought about what comes after."

The two didn't know Lin Feng's hearing was sharper than a dog's ears.

Lin Feng glanced at the two below and slightly furrowed his brows.

At that moment, a notification sound rang from the phone.

Lin Feng opened it and saw an email sent by Tang Mi.

It was an electronic invitation.
