Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Talking to Oneself
"What should we do then?"
Zhang Wannian looked towards Li Feng, truly at a loss this time, even clueless. With Chen Qinian’s sudden death being irrevocable, Han Xue’s current abduction was no laughing matter; not to mention the child, her own fate was also unknown.
Undoubtedly, whoever kidnapped Han Xue probably didn’t plan on letting her live.
Li Feng stepped out of the bedroom; there could be no clues here. There was no surveillance inside the private elevator, and the fact that the kidnapper could abduct Han Xue from the apartment without alerting Zhang Wannian clearly indicated a meticulously executed plan.
"Wait!"
"Wait?"
Zhang Wannian watched Li Feng turn back into the bedroom, puzzled.
"What do you mean, Li Feng?"
"You said wait."
"Are you saying you’re waiting for the person who took Han Xue to contact you?" Zhang Wannian wasn’t foolish, but would they actually call Li Feng?
How could that be possible.
Chen Qinian was already dead, Han Xue had been abducted, and for the person holding her, getting rid of her would be all too easy.
Li Feng took a sip of alcohol and suddenly spoke out loud, "I know you must be listening to me speaking, Zero Organization, huh? You’ve taken quite a few losses at my hands."
"I’ve investigated; your organization has never failed before, but this time, you’ve lost quite a few assassins and even a man wearing a clown mask. That clown can’t just be some disposable lackey."
"Because of me, you’ve failed twice, heh heh, as long as I am still alive, the mark of your failure will remain indelible."
"My number is... Call me."
"Of course, if you’re just going to be cowards, thinking that killing Chen Qinian and dealing with Han Xue is mission accomplished—"
"Then I can only say, Zero is nothing special, after all."
Zhang Wannian watched Li Feng "talking to himself," his gaze, however, swept the bedroom. Could it be that there were listening devices hidden in the bedroom? Zhang Wannian immediately began searching for potential spots where bugs might be placed.
It wasn’t long before Zhang Wannian found, to his shock, that there indeed were listening devices in the room. He had previously checked the bedroom but had not found any bugs, which meant they had been planted by the intruders after the fact.
Zhang Wannian looked back at Li Feng, unable to help but admire him. How did he know there would be listening devices in the bedroom?
Li Feng took the listening device from Zhang Wannian’s hand, "Never mind, if you cowards don’t dare to provoke me, I don’t care, after all, Chen Qinian’s and Han Xue’s deaths don’t affect me in any bad way."
Li Feng left the bedroom, tossing the bug into a fish tank in the living room. Approaching the liquor cabinet, Li Feng poured himself a glass of alcohol, "Fancy one?"
"Will they actually call?"
"They will," Li Feng said.
"Really, you’re that certain?"
Zhang Wannian looked at Li Feng, who seemed very sure of himself. Li Feng took a sip of his drink with a slight smile, "This Zero Organization has a 100% completion rate on the dark web’s assassin leaderboard. Plus, from our encounters, you should sense that this Zero is a tightly-knit group with decisive actions. Evidently, the person behind this Zero must be extremely arrogant and conceited."
"He’s the sort who likes to be in control of everything. And people like that usually have one weakness."
"Oh?"
"It’s their love for perfection, their dislike for failure, because failure makes them feel tainted, you know about OCD sufferers, right?"
"Yeah, I do."
"People like that are somewhat similar to those with OCD. Because they are so outstanding, they never consider the possibility of failure, but if they do encounter failure, it bothers them greatly, and they will go to great lengths to regain the upper hand."
"With Chen Qinian dead and Han Xue abducted by them, it seems like they have completed their task. But my repeated thwarting of his plans, if I remain alive, then for him, his mission’s completion rate won’t be 100%."
"Even if there’s only a slight imperfection, it’s still not perfect."
Zhang Wannian listened to Li Feng’s reasoning and somehow it seemed to make some sense, but was the adversary really as Li Feng had predicted?
What if they’re not OCD as you say and don’t call you?
Zhang Wannian was dubious in his heart, but just then, a phone rang. Instinctively, he looked towards Li Feng.
Li Feng picked up the phone and answered directly, "Hello?"
"It’s me, where are you?"
Jiang Linda’s voice carried a hint of complaint. Who saves someone and leaves midway? Was he rushing off to a date or something?
"I’m at the Century Hotel."
"What are you doing at the Century Hotel so late?"
Jiang Linda asked with a hint of sourness in her tone, the child in Han Xue’s belly couldn’t be his, could it?
"Chen Qinian is dead, Han Xue has been kidnapped."
"What!"
Jiang Linda was absolutely shocked, "How could that happen?"
"You and Su Yuqing should also stay away from home for now, head to the company instead, and watch for any buzz in the media and online."
"That’s all for now."
Li Feng hung up the phone, and Zhang Wannian had initially thought that Li Feng’s prediction came true and it was Zero calling, but it wasn’t.
"Relax a little."
Li Feng walked over to the couch after saying so. Zhang Wannian rolled his eyes; he really couldn’t relax. After all, he had spent a considerable amount of time with Han Xue. And she was indeed a very charming woman—Zhang Wannian couldn’t deny that she hadn’t moved his heart at least a little, which would’ve been abnormal.
"You haven’t fallen for Han Xue, have you?"
"No, I haven’t,"
"What’s there to deny? Liking someone is liking someone. But that woman isn’t as simple as you think. What is it? Has she seduced you?"
"How could that be? Besides, it’s impossible between us."
Li Feng snorted, "Nothing’s impossible. She’s not the untouchable Lady of Century Group anymore. She might not even know if she’s alive or dead right now. If you offer her a bit of security, the chances of her falling into your arms are quite high."
"It seems she prefers you more."
Zhang Wannian felt a little annoyed inside and took a sip from his glass.
Li Feng chuckled, "You seem to lack confidence. What, do you think she’s too high and mighty, and so you feel inferior?"
"I’m just a soldier who was dishonorably discharged, with nothing and an ordinary family to boot."
Li Feng laughed, "You’re underestimating yourself too much. You’re not just any soldier, don’t forget you were once the proud Wolf Fang."
"Have a little confidence, she’s just a pretty woman, nothing more. Don’t put her on a pedestal like a goddess. You’ll find she’s quite ordinary, and if you’re strong enough, it’s she who should be looking up to you, not the other way around."
Easier said than done, but it’s not that simple, no matter how you look at it. Even if nothing else, she’s still the Lady of Century Group, and it’s not like she’s just ordinary pretty—she’s stunningly beautiful.
Just then, Li Feng’s phone on the coffee table rang again.
Zhang Wannian couldn’t help but lift his head and look over.
