Chapter 540

Lin Feng, meanwhile, added fuel to the fire: "But if we don't act quickly now, we fear he'll eventually leak all this to Jiang Cheng. Once it leaks to Jiang Cheng, it means we're truly doomed; by then the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Besides, your current worry is normal; once your hands are stained with blood, even if you rack your brains trying to wash it off, it will likely remain buried in your heart for a lifetime." Lin Feng looked distressed, head drooping; after a few seconds he suddenly lifted his head, his gaze earnestly meeting Lan Xinghe's.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will unreservedly stand by your side; I will follow you through thick and thin, and together we will give it our all."

"No matter what happens in the future, we can face it together!"

"Our relationship has always been especially good, and it's still the same."

"I won't abandon you just because things have changed!"

Lin Feng spoke very seriously.

Lan Xinghe was deeply moved: "Choosing to become your close friend back then was absolutely the rightest decision I've ever made in my life."

"I also hope that we can continue to be friends in the future, supporting each other and letting ourselves grow stronger and stronger!"

"However, regarding Wan Ming's matter, I still need to think it over carefully; this matter is trivial, but any oversight could lead to an accident." Lan Xinghe pondered deeply, feeling that this matter must not be taken lightly; for now he needs to give it proper thought.

Xiao Chan stood beside him: "If you want to think it through, then think it carefully; as for me, no matter what you task me with next, I'll still say the same as before—I will unreservedly stay by your side, and in the future I will surely follow you through thick and thin."

"No matter what happens, my thoughts have never changed."

"But we need to speed up; otherwise, we'll really give the opponent an opening, and we're very likely to be taken care of by them."

"Okay."

Lan Xinghe has been considering these matters all along.

He always felt that recent events have been getting stranger and stranger, and there's something he can't quite figure out.

He has also been constantly torn over where exactly the problem lies.

Moreover, Lin Feng—remember how he used to be aloof a while back? But these past two days he's clearly different.

At least compared to before, his whole demeanor seems to have become more enthusiastic.

So—

Lan Xinghe always felt something was eerie.

"What on earth is going on with Lin Feng? His condition and his attitude toward me are completely different now—could he be hiding something from me behind the scenes?"

Just as he was agonizing over this, Wan Ming brought him a piece of news.

"You mean Lin Feng has already acted to betray us? He's long been colluding with Jiang Cheng?" Lan Xinghe's emotions were in an uproar.

At this moment, he slightly furrowed his brows.

After the incident, his mood remained unsettled for a long time.

The situation that appeared before him was so shocking that he could hardly believe it.

Wan Ming nodded: "These are all the evidence I've gathered recently; moreover, he has met Jiang Cheng several times behind the scenes. This shows that he has indeed been colluding with the Hall Master to scheme against us!"

"We trusted him so much, never expecting him to do such a vile thing behind our backs." Wan Ming was so angry he was grinding his teeth.

Wan Ming flared with rage: "He usually seemed quiet, especially lately, appearing to steadfastly stand by our side without reservation. But I truly never imagined he would secretly contact Jiang Cheng behind our backs and then behave so despicably!"

"If it weren't for me happening to notice his odd behavior, we might still be clueless, being led around by the opposition!" Wan Ming explained urgently: "I think Lin Feng is unreliable; we must quickly find a way to kick him out."
