Chapter 1431 Heading to the Hotel for a Banquet
"Mr. Hui, the other party is very stubborn, we have failed!"
A shameful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh? It failed?"
Lu Feng was very surprised to hear this.
The twelve zodiac animals have been serving under him for a long time, and so far, they have almost always completed the orders he has given them.
This was the first time he had ever heard the word "failure" from Chenlong's mouth.
"What's going on? Could the other side be a professionally trained assassin?"
He gripped his phone tightly and asked again.
If they were assassins, failure would be normal. Although he had never been involved in the underworld, he had heard a lot about assassins from his subordinates.
Those were built at great expense by various powerful forces, so it's not surprising that they could withstand severe torture.
Hearing his words, Chenlong's voice on the other end of the phone became even softer:
"Sir, I'm sorry, he's not a suicide soldier, he's just an ordinary person!"
These two short sentences seemed to have exhausted all of Chenlong's strength.
If the twelve zodiac animals couldn't even handle an ordinary person, it's more than just embarrassing if word gets out.
This has reached the point where they might as well disband on the spot.
Lu Feng was genuinely surprised this time.
Chenlong and his team couldn't even handle an ordinary person.
"Explain what exactly happened!"
He lowered his voice and spoke into the phone.
"The thing is, at that time..."
On the other end of the phone, Chenlong honestly described the whole story.
It turned out that after receiving the unconscious garbage truck driver from Zhou Han, they immediately took action and began interrogating the target.
Unexpectedly, no matter what methods they used, the other party remained tight-lipped and refused to say a word.
Finally, having no other choice, they had to send the Snake to administer their unique sleeping potion.
Unexpectedly, the driver suffered from severe brain cancer, and the hallucinogenic drugs injected into his body triggered his already critical illness, which was on the verge of collapse.
The person died within a few breaths.
By the time they realized what was happening, the person was already beyond dead.
However, they did not come away empty-handed. After capturing the man, they obtained his detailed personal information through his biometric data.
"So... this driver is just an ordinary person suffering from a serious illness?"
Lu Feng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then asked.
"Yes, we now have detailed information about the target, including various records and family details. If you give the order, we can find useful clues within half a day at most."
Chenlong responded impatiently; he couldn't wait any longer.
As Lu Feng's forces grow larger, if they don't work hard, they are likely to be gradually marginalized or even eliminated by Lu Feng in the future.
He didn't want it to be like this, so he wanted to prove himself, to prove that no matter how many competitors there were, the Chinese zodiac was still the sharpest sword.
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng did not respond immediately, but took another puff of his cigarette before saying:
"Be careful not to disturb others during the investigation, understand?"
"Yes, don't worry!"
Chenlong on the other end of the phone involuntarily straightened his chest.
call ended.
Lu Feng placed his phone on the table and suddenly let out a long sigh:
"He was a real man, what a pity..."
"But don't worry, I will absolutely not harm your family."
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, but the image of the driver's madness before falling into the water flashed through his mind.
Things have come to this point, and the situation is actually quite clear.
The mastermind behind the scenes hired a terminally ill patient with little time left to act as a suicide bomber to carry out the most crucial step.
Regardless of success or failure, the patient will keep quiet for the sake of the reward and for his family.
In this way, the real culprit can rest easy.
However, if it were just that, to be honest, Lu Feng wouldn't have said "He's a real man." What truly made him exclaim was something else entirely.
After experiencing many trials and tribulations, his heart gradually hardened, and he never hesitated to kill those who wanted to kill him.
The reason he instructed Chenlong not to disturb the driver's family was because he knew how difficult it was to withstand the interrogation by the twelve zodiac animals, and how much willpower it would take to hold out until the Snake came out.
The hardships and pain involved cannot be described in simple words or language.
Such a person, even if an opponent, deserves respect.
After a brief reflection, Lu Feng didn't stay long. The seminar was at 8 p.m., and he needed to prepare in advance.
Soon, at 7:30 p.m., Nie Zhan knocked on the door on time. Lu Feng, who had changed into a formal suit, led a group of people to the hotel where the seminar was being held—the Anchor Hotel.
Night quietly fell, and with the added chill of the December wind, by seven o'clock, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.
However, perhaps because Christmas is approaching, there are quite a few Christmas decorations on the streets, such as snowmen and Christmas trees.
Under the influence of American-style architecture, it exudes a unique charm.
"Time flies, Christmas is just around the corner, and after Christmas, it will be almost Chinese New Year."
Sitting in the car, Lu Feng looked out the window at the scenery and couldn't help but mutter to himself, while also feeling a sense of anticipation.
The two words "Chinese New Year" hold an inexplicable attraction for any Chinese person.
Whether you are a humble laborer, a member of the powerful elite, or anyone else, as long as you are a Chinese person, you deeply look forward to the Chinese New Year, and Lu Feng is no exception.
Especially at this time, being abroad and witnessing the preparations foreigners were making for their own country's New Year, the surge of emotion within him could no longer be suppressed:
"We'll strive to resolve the chip issue before the end of the year, so that all employees, including myself, can have a good New Year!"
He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
The car drove along and soon arrived at its destination—the Anchor Hotel.
Guided by the hotel security, the car slowly stopped in the parking space. As soon as the car stopped, Nie Zhan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly got out and opened the back door for Lu Feng.
"Sir, we've arrived!"
"Ok!"
Lu Feng nodded slightly, straightened his tie, stretched out his long legs, and stepped out of the car.
"Is this the Anchor Hotel, which claims to have a 100-year history?"
He looked up at the grand hotel in front of him, which resembled a church, and smacked his lips.
"Let's go, let's meet these opponents and see what tricks they have up their sleeves..."
