Chapter 1406 Seeking Help from an Enemy?

As the notification of successful delivery popped up, Luo Feng looked up at the carousel in the amusement park, where colorful lights swirled in circles in the night sky.

The girl in his arms had fallen asleep on his shoulder, her breath carrying the sweet scent of cotton candy.

They were exhausted after a day of fun.

Lin Naizi looked at Luo Feng, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I want to know, do you already have any new plans?"

Luo Feng nodded. "Colin's situation gave me some inspiration."

"It seems this show of genuine versus counterfeit goods has only just begun."

He murmured something, his steps unwavering, and walked toward that warm light, as if stepping into a hazy future ending.

Looking at his retreating figure, Lin Naoko was filled with emotion.

For the first time, she felt that if the sky were to fall, there would be someone taller to hold it up, instead of herself.

Although, this person is very, very tired.

But the strong will always need to overcome this.

It is precisely by overcoming this that you can become a strong person.

"You people followed Luo Feng and found out where he went?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Colin, sitting in the conference room, looked at the men who had been following Luo Feng as they came in to give their report.

However, he did not know that these people were actually spies planted by the Shadow Council.

Although Luo Feng knew this, he didn't tell him immediately.

This might be a variable. Colin doesn't fully trust him yet, so why is Luo Feng in such a hurry?
Why not let them fight like dogs first, and then Luo Feng can reap the benefits?

"We went to the amusement park."

One of them answered.

He lowered his head slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Luo Feng had already discovered them, but he hadn't told Colin.

"An amusement park? Did I hear that right?"

Colin paused for a second upon hearing this.

After receiving the news, instead of immediately making arrangements or contacting anyone, he went to the amusement park.
This is really not something he would think Luo Feng would do.

This is the secret to immortality! Who could resist such temptation?
However, according to the tracking agent's report, Luo Feng went to the amusement park and the convenience store, spent some money with his nieces, and then drove back to the hotel.

Because the hotel was so high-class and secure, they had no idea what happened after they entered.

Hearing the end, Colin stood up and walked away, deep in thought. "Something must have happened! After he entered the hotel, he must have contacted someone and then told them this news..."

It's actually quite normal for him to think that way.

Don't forget, in his eyes, Luo Feng has always been a very shrewd person.

From the moment he discovered the fake, he knew this person was no ordinary individual.

Moreover, most people would have left immediately after learning that he had a fake, but Luo Feng was different. He chose to believe that Colin had the real thing, which is why he kept asking questions.

This is already quite interesting.

Then, he turned to look at the group of people and smiled.

"You did a great job! Go collect your reward. Starting tomorrow, continue to monitor Luo Feng's every move. Report any unusual behavior to me immediately."

Colin firmly believed that as long as he continued to investigate Luo Feng, he would eventually uncover some secret.

However, this was on the premise that these people had not been discovered by Luo Feng. In fact, they have already been discovered by Luo Feng, but he is the only one unaware of it.

The members of the Shadow Council who had been planted exchanged glances, then accepted their orders and expressed their gratitude.

After leaving the meeting room, the members of the Shadow Council quickly walked into the security passage at the end of the corridor.

After confirming that there were no more of Colin's men around, the leader took out the recorder hidden in his collar and said in a low voice, "Colin has taken the bait. He's convinced that Luo Feng has something else going on at the amusement park."

Thinking about it, it's true. How could someone who received such important information not react at all and just go play around?

As for the recorder, he will send it to the higher-ups later; this was a rule that had been set beforehand.

The Shadow Council is more strictly controlled than the organization in Thanatos.

"Should we make our move now?"

The man next to him gripped the weapon at his waist, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Luo Feng has the child with him, which is the perfect opportunity to strike."

As long as they capture Luo Feng's group of nieces who they consider important, then the other party will be at their mercy.
The leading man glanced at him, his tone slightly displeased, and said, "What's the rush? Colin doesn't fully trust us yet, and Luo Feng is as shrewd as a fox."

“Just now at Colin’s hideout, he deliberately slowed down so we could keep up, which was obviously a test.”

He paused, then swiped across the screenshot of the message Luo Feng had forwarded to Zeng Fan on his phone screen.

That was intercepted accidentally when they hacked into Colin's surveillance system; they just wanted to see if Colin had discovered that they were undercover agents.

“He already knew we weren’t Colin’s men, and he’s not making a move now because he wants to use us to disrupt Colin’s plans.”

"Then let's..."

"Stand still."

The man interrupted him, his gaze icy, "Colin wants us to keep an eye on Luo Feng, so we will."

"But we need to keep a close eye on Colin's vault; that half of the Qin Dynasty stone tablet is the key."

"Since Luo Feng can spot the fake, he must know the secret of the stone tablet. We'll make our move after they've both been severely injured."

The ultimate goal of the Shadow Council is also this art of immortality.

The mysterious person seemed to have left, but the reason for doing so was that they had already planted their own people within Colin's ranks.

Therefore, they knew everything Colin did.

Otherwise, even if the Zheng family's incident had occurred, it wouldn't have warranted the mysterious man leaving. Anyone else could have gone; why did it have to be him?

In the hotel's penthouse suite, Luo Feng was analyzing the video of the Qin Dynasty stone tablet on his computer.

On the screen, the dark blue stone surface was covered with fine lines. When magnified, several blurry ancient seal characters could be seen, which vaguely matched the two characters "longevity" that he had seen in ancient books before.

"It really is related to the legend."

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Lin Naizi, who was preparing milk, paused for a moment, then asked, "So, he really does have clues about Penglai, but why would he cooperate with you and share the clues instead of keeping them all to himself?"

Luo Feng tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, pondering, "Colin kept this thing hidden and deliberately used a fake to test it. He clearly wanted to use me to decipher the secret on the stone tablet, while also drawing the Shadow Council over to use as a pawn." "Perhaps there are other reasons, but I haven't discovered them yet. Right now, the most likely ones are what I've mentioned."

Then, Lin Naizi came in carrying hot milk. Seeing the stone tablet on the screen, she frowned slightly and said, "The fact that the Shadow Council members dared to infiltrate Colin's circle means they've also got their eyes on the stone tablet. What exactly is hidden in this thing?"

Both of them felt that what lay behind the stone tablet was definitely more than just the secret to immortality.

Moreover, in this day and age, if you say those four words, people will only think you're crazy.

"Who knows."

Luo Feng took the milk, his gaze falling out the window, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps there really is an art of immortality, or perhaps... it's just bait that Colin is using to lure the snake out of its hole."

He suddenly laughed, turned around and said, "But whatever it is, if someone wants to play, we'll play along to the end."

Lin Naizi nodded. "During this time, I will also try to gather information about Colin's activities in Europe and see what he has been doing in the past few months."

She believes that if Colin had planned this earlier, he wouldn't be preparing now.

After all, don't forget that Luo Feng's decision to come to Ou City was impromptu, not because he received an invitation.

If Colin initially intended to collaborate, there must have been other people involved, not just him alone.

Then... who could that person be?
At that moment, Zeng Fan's video call came in. On the screen, he said with a serious expression, "Brother Luo, I've found it."

"The Shadow Council recently acquired a batch of titanium alloy cutting equipment on the black market, and their target is likely Colin's vault."

Luo Feng narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"These guys acted really fast. It seems that the undercover agents found out the exact location, and then the Shadow Council made their move."

Linnako's expression was grave. "If that's the case, it seems we've touched the sensitive core of the Shadow Council. They will definitely do everything in their power to stop our cooperation with Colin."

Luo Feng snapped his fingers.

“That’s right, I think so too, so we must get that clue before the Shadow Council makes a move.”

"The problem is that Colin doesn't fully trust you yet, and these kids have come to Europe City, so we can't let them hide forever, but there are risks if we don't hide."

Lin Naizi's concern was that the Shadow Council might take action against these little ones, which was understandable. Everyone knew that Luo Feng's weakness, or rather, his Achilles' heel, was these little ones.

Luo Feng's expression gradually turned cold.

If anyone dares to lay a hand on the little ones, they will have crossed Luo Feng's line.

He wouldn't mind repeating the inevitable death.

“I suddenly thought of someone who might be able to help us divert Colin’s attention, or rather, the Shadow Council.”

"Who?"

Zeng Fan and Lin Naizi asked in unison.

"Perhaps you know that person."

Luo Feng turned his gaze to Lin Naizi.

"I know? Who is it?"

Hearing what Luo Feng said, Lin Naizi became even more curious.

"Ueno..."

Luo Feng smiled and uttered those two words.

As expected, Lin Naizi's pupils widened, seemingly quite surprised by the person Luo Feng was talking about.

"Are you not mistaken?"

After realizing what was happening, Lin Naoko couldn't help but shake her head.

"Don't forget, you've ruined him. Even though he's still the heir to the Ueno Zaibatsu, the group has plummeted."

Luo Feng shrugged. "But so what? Don't forget, I still own shares in it. I haven't used any of the relevant rights for so long. Now, it's time."

Zeng Fan was completely confused and had no idea what Luo Feng was trying to do.

"To put it bluntly, he really brought it on himself."

Lin Naoko smiled bitterly.

What Luo Feng said was true. If Ueno hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"I approached him this time because I wanted to help him," Luo Feng said with a smile.

For some reason, Zeng Fan felt a chill coming from behind him.

Lin Naoko: "..."

You think you can help him? You might as well believe in Qin Shi Huang.

"Right, what should we do next!?"

Distracted by Luo Feng, Zeng Fan almost forgot about the important matter.

Luo Feng turned to Lin Naizi and said, "Take the children to the old castle estate in the suburbs tomorrow. Have fun. If they ask about me, just say I went to work and will come to keep them company in the evening."

"Security there is tight; have Zeng Fan send a squad leader to guard it."

"Aren't you coming with us?" Linnako asked.

Work? What kind of work? Going to see Ueno??
“I need to go see Colin.” Luo Feng picked up his coat. “He wants to know my opinion on the stone tablet, right? I’ll give him my opinion.”

"As for Ueno, I'll send him a message, and he'll definitely come to Europe."

Are you kidding me? Who does he think he is? Would he really go looking for Ueno on his own initiative?
Lin Naoko sighed.

"Hopefully this isn't a bad idea."

Her recent premonitions have been getting worse.

The following afternoon, Colin's manor welcomed Luo Feng once again.

This time, Colin didn't lead him around in circles; he took him straight into the vault.

He probably knew that Luo Feng knew more than he imagined.

Half of the stone tablet is embedded in an oxygen-free glass case, its dim light even stronger than in the video, attracting attention.

"Mr. Luo, how much do you think this stone tablet is worth?" Colin asked casually.
