Late at night, the lights in the luxury restaurant of the InterContinental Hotel are dim and soft.
But this light, which should have created a warm atmosphere, seemed extremely deserted at this moment, as if even the air was filled with an invisible depression.
Tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the tableware is shining, but no one is using it.
The few waiters standing at the door didn't know what happened and looked at each other.
Joyce was the only one left at the table.
Other rich people have already gone back to their arranged hotel rooms to rest.
Originally, they thought that after serving this table of people, they could get off work.
Who would have thought that these people didn't know what happened, but they were all sitting in their chairs, showing no reaction.
Only the gorgeous crystal chandelier on the ceiling seems to be a silent witness to the source of all this silence and unusualness.
That’s right, this source is naturally related to Luo Feng.
Originally, he was planning to fight Luo Feng to the death and get the two million US dollar bonus to fight for his family.
But after seeing the bodyguards appearing beside Luo Feng, he gave up the idea and took the opportunity to escape.
At first he thought about meeting up with his companions and arrived at the designated place, but he happened to see the captain leading other people to carry his companions into the car one by one.
Since all these companions did not move at all, they looked like corpses.
This also scared him out of his wits, and he no longer dared to have any illusions, such as continuing to look for opportunities to attack Luo Feng.
He quickly reported the incident to the boss of the black market cultural relics smuggling group, and then he evacuated the scene.
At this moment, he truly understood what the original leader said.
Money is far less important than life. No matter how rich a person is, if his life is gone, he will have nothing.
And the boss couldn’t believe the content of the information he saw.
Originally, he was playing Beethoven's piano music at his home, sipping a fine cigar, and sipping an 1982 Lafite.
Be prepared to welcome the news of Luo Feng's death, allowing him to add another spark to his fine life.
He has even thought about how to bring all the cultural relics purchased by Luo Feng at the charity auction into his own through operation.
But he never expected that his plan would fail again.
Once again, he fell into the hands of Luo Feng.
Moreover, all the people he sent were killed by Luo Feng.
He was the only one left.
After a while, even if he no longer wanted to admit it, he could only convey the news to Joyce and tell him.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Qiao, from now on, I will withdraw from the revenge alliance against Luo Feng."
“The rest is up to you, so I can only wish you good luck.”
It's not that he is afraid of Luo Feng. With the depth of his involvement in this matter, he can be judged by the identity of those who were captured.
What's more, he has done so many bad things today, and he will suffer retribution sooner or later.
At this time, the boss of the cultural relics smuggling group also decided to sneak away quickly and hide for a while. He would come back when nothing unusual happened here.
Otherwise, following these arrested people, it is very likely that he will be traced again. He had already received a warning from the Defense Bureau before.
Now that he has violated the content of the warning again, he will definitely be targeted by the Defense Bureau. Once he is caught, he will not be able to escape even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Joyce simply adjusted his suit and leather shoes, and glanced sharply at Frank next to him.
He and Li Weining, a tall and stern-looking Kejie, were sitting in a corner of the restaurant. Their expressions were stern, and their eyes met from time to time, but they revealed their inner anxiety and unwillingness.
“Is it over like this??”
“I still can’t believe it.”
Kejie murmured to himself.
Their carefully planned actions were intended to quietly and seamlessly resolve a "stumbling block" that had long hindered the expansion of their business empire.
Actually, this is just a superficial statement. In the case, these people all had a feud with Luo Feng. To put it bluntly, it is impossible to say whether they were retaliating against Luo Feng out of hatred.
However, reality was like a basin of cold water, severely extinguishing all their hopes and calculations.
Luo Feng, a guy who can always smell danger at critical moments, once again understood their plans one step ahead.
And with astonishing efficiency and precision, they captured the men they sent out to perform the mission one by one.
"Where did we go wrong?" Li Weining was the first to break the silence, his voice low and urgent.
His fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, revealing his inner irritability and uneasiness.
If Luo Feng cannot be sanctioned, he feels that he will not be the president of the charity foundation for long.
Mr. Luo has been putting pressure on him in recent times, saying openly and secretly that he is not capable.
He also said that his contribution from this position was very limited.
Even considering whether to remove him and let a more capable person be the president.
Old Luo had originally planned to let Luo Fenglai be the president of this charity foundation.
However, Luo Feng was really not interested in the position, so he refused.
Joyce closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner turmoil.
Until now, he has not figured out the reason. What seemed like a big situation suddenly disappeared.
"Luo Feng...he is always one step ahead of us, not because we are not smart enough, but because he understands us too well."
Frank's tone was somewhat helpless, mixed with inexplicable admiration for his opponent.
“We underestimated his intuition and ability, and we did not expect that he would make such a bold counterattack at this time.”
Recalling every detail that had been carefully planned, the two of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Every link, from the collection of information to the selection of executors, to the planning of action routes, has been deduced and adjusted countless times to strive for perfection.
However, Luo Feng is like an invisible wall, standing on their road to success, making all their efforts come to nothing.
“We must reassess the situation and find out his weaknesses.” Joyce finally opened his eyes, a determined light shining in his eyes.
“This failure is the result of our overconfidence. But remember, the real competition has just begun.”
Li Weining nodded, his tight lips showing his renewed determination.
“Yes, we can’t just give up.”
“Although Luo Feng is powerful, he is not invincible. We need more careful planning, more covert actions, and...a twist that he did not expect.”
The night is getting darker, and the city lights outside the InterContinental Hotel are bright.
In this quiet restaurant, several figures are still sitting opposite each other, their eyes flashing with new strategies and determination.
Before the next dawn comes, quietly make arrangements and attack again.
"What? Aren't you giving up yet?" I saw the appearance of these two people.
Frank couldn’t help but shook his head and asked.
From his point of view, there is no chance at all. No matter what he does, it will be in vain.
It is simply impossible to defeat Luo Feng and let people watch a fireworks display for free.
"What I said just now has proven that Luo Feng is right. Luo Feng has made sufficient preparations, so the results we are facing now are what I could have expected at the time."
Frank continued.
"Master Fei, please don't badmouth him. Our goal is to completely eliminate Luo Feng, not to publicize what Luo Feng has done and the news he reports every day."
Joyce scratched his hair, looked at Frank and said.
Their alliance is already very difficult to organize. If there is no way to deal with Luo Feng, then disbandment will not be far away.
"I understand what you said, but we have no way out."
"Believe me, even if we have nothing to produce, Luo Feng will know that it was us who did it, and he will definitely not let us go."
Joyce is not trying to add insult to injury when he says this. He is right.
Just as Luo Feng was accompanying Dunsil just now, he was always being monitored by various people.
The purpose of doing this is that Luo Feng wants to do everything possible to catch all these people.
Frank didn’t reply anymore because he knew what the other person said was correct.
Not to be missed.
“Let’s fight to the death tonight!”
…
The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the clouds and shone into the luxurious hotel room where Luo Feng was.
The vast and prosperous city outside the window gradually wakes up.
In the room, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
First of all, Lina was sitting by the bed, her eyes never leaving the closed door.
Her fingers tapped her knees lightly, which was her habit when she was nervous.
Before she met Luo Feng, she had not done this action for a long time.
"Luo Feng, are you sure you're okay?" Lina turned to look at the bed.
Although his face is slightly pale, his eyes still reveal a tenacity.
Luo Feng forced out a smile and said calmly: "I'm fine, Lina Defense Department."
“It’s just that what happened last night was too sudden and made people a little scared.”
At midnight last night, they had already taken a shower and returned to their respective rooms to sleep.
After all, the captain at the hotel entrance has followed Luo Feng’s plan.
Arrested all the people in the black market cultural relics Zos Group.
Logically speaking, there should be no blind people who would dare to confront him in the hotel.
Suddenly the window of the room was opened directly from the outside.
Two men in black sneaked in. Their goal was very clear, and they wanted to attack Luo Feng's room.
Fortunately, Lina went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and happened to see the two men in black.
So they got rid of the two men in black, kept their lives, and planned to take them back to the Defense Bureau for interrogation.
Later, for safety reasons, Lina did not dare to live alone anymore. Instead, she went to Luo Feng's room to guard him all night to avoid encountering anything wrong again.
"Suddenly? That was simply thrilling!" Lina's voice trembled slightly, while staring at the computer, she asked: "How did those people get in? What did the Defense Bureau say?"
“You are from the National Defense Bureau, is it a bit unreasonable for you to ask me this?”
Luo Feng touched the back of his head and felt something strange.
"Sometimes it would be much more convenient for you to ask." Lina had no choice but to make her status special.
Luo Feng sighed, recalling the sudden attack last night, his heart was still filled with waves.
“The director of the Defense Bureau has called me personally and they are fully investigating.”
“It is said that last night’s attacker used extremely sophisticated camouflage techniques and was not even detected by the hotel’s security system.”
"That's okay!" Lina stood up and paced back and forth, "The National Defense Bureau must give an explanation."
“You are now a charity promotion ambassador, and the safety of public figures is not guaranteed. What does this make the people think?”
At this moment, the phone in the room rang suddenly, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Lina quickly walked over to answer the call, frowning beautifully.
“Hello?…Yes, I am…what?! Okay, we’ll be down soon.”
Hang up the phone, Lina said with a serious face: "The director of the National Defense Bureau came in person and asked us to meet in the lobby downstairs."
“It’s not easy for this guy to come here early in the morning.” Luo Feng felt a little ashamed.
Just because he was attacked in the middle of the night, the other party ran over in a hurry, not intending to have a good night's sleep.
This is enough to show how much they value Luo Feng.
It just doesn’t look like the director of the Defense Bureau.
The two quickly packed their clothes, and Lina accompanied Luo Feng to the elevator slowly.
Along the way, Luo Feng felt curious and worried looks from other residents, but he tried to stay calm and not let his emotions affect others.
Arriving at the lobby, the director of the Defense Bureau was already waiting surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
The director is a middle-aged man, with an air of majesty between his brows that cannot be underestimated.
Seeing Luo Feng, he immediately took a few steps forward and said with an apologetic tone: "Mr. Luo, on behalf of the National Defense Bureau, I would like to express my deepest apology to you for what happened last night."
Luo Feng nodded slightly and said calmly: "Director, I hope this is not a problem that can be solved with a simple apology."
“We need to know the truth, and the public also needs an explanation.”
The director took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I understand, Mr. Luo."
“In fact, we have arrested several suspects related to the attack, and preliminary investigations show that there may be a deeper conspiracy behind this.”
“We are working hard to find out all the facts as soon as possible.”
Lina interjected from the side, "Director, how will Mr. Luo's safety be ensured next? There can't be a second accident."
The director turned to Lina and replied seriously: "We will deploy the most elite security forces to protect Mr. Luo 24 hours a day."
“At the same time, the security system inside and outside the hotel will also be fully upgraded. Please rest assured that similar incidents will not happen again.” (End of chapter)
