Chapter 1441 A Dead End?

The car suddenly made a sharp turn, and the driver, aware of the gravity of the situation, disregarded traffic rules and sped recklessly back the way he had come.

Bai Ningbing gripped her phone tightly, repeatedly calling Luo Feng, but no one answered.

Left with no other option, she repeatedly pressed Team Leader Chen on the phone, asking, "How is the situation? Is he alright? How many people are on the other side?!"

"After receiving the system location alert for Mr. Luo's car, we rushed over immediately. There were signs of a struggle and a wrecked truck at the scene, but neither Mr. Luo nor that Snake Lady were there!"

"Our people are expanding the search area!"

Team Leader Chen's voice was equally urgent, with the background noise filled with car sounds and noisy voices.

Not at the scene? Were they taken away, or...?

Bai Ningbing dared not think any further.

Now both the Shadow Council and Thanatos are looking for Luo Feng, and he is in constant danger.

At this moment, she needed to stay calm.

If she hadn't stormed off, if she had been calmer then.

Does that mean we won't give him the chance to face danger alone? Does that mean we can be together?
"Find him! Find him at all costs! Contact everyone you can!"

Bai Ningbing's voice was calm.

"Yes, Miss Bai!"

Team Leader Chen responded.

Meanwhile, in a quiet back alley near the mall.

Luo Feng leaned against the cold brick wall, and after confirming that no one was around, he breathed slightly.

His suit jacket was a little dusty, and there was a shallow scratch on the back of his hand, but overall he was fine.

The Snake Princess stood opposite him, her eyes alert as she scanned the alleyway.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.

She had a deeper wound on her arm, which was simply bandaged with a strip of cloth torn from the killer's body, and the blood on her forehead had congealed into a scab.

"Five were dealt with, and one escaped to report. Their men will be back soon."

The Snake Princess remained calm, analyzing the situation based on the current circumstances.

"However, we cannot stay here for long."

Luo Feng nodded, his eyes cold.

In the brief exchange just now, he and Snake Queen displayed astonishing teamwork, quickly taking down five knife-wielding assassins.

But the other party was clearly prepared, and their purpose was clearly aimed at him or the Snake Princess.

"Your injury?"

Luo Feng glanced at her bleeding arm.

"No problem, it won't affect the operation."

The Snake Princess waved her hand dismissively.

"As expected of an assassin from the Shadow Council, their movements have a well-trained and efficient feel," Luo Feng thought to himself.

With the addition of another member to the harem, Snake Princess should be the woman with the strongest skills in Luo Feng's harem.

"What do we do now? You definitely can't drive your car, and the Defense Bureau people are probably arriving soon."

Luo Feng was thinking quickly.

Colin's warnings were still ringing in our ears: internal instability and the arrival of external enemies.

Bai Ningbing left in a huff, and she is likely already aware of the attack.

Given her personality, she would definitely rush back regardless of the consequences, which might put her in danger.

He must immediately stabilize the internal situation and consolidate all forces to deal with the enemy's upcoming schemes.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that the other party is targeting his internal and external troubles. The fact that they were able to pinpoint the problem so precisely means that they are either Ice Rose or...

She knew what had happened between Snake Princess and Luo Feng.

Alternatively, there might be a traitor within Luo Feng's team.

He took out his phone; the screen was cracked, but it was still usable.

He first dialed Lin Naoko's number and got straight to the point.

"I was attacked in a back alley near the mall."

“The other party is Thanatos or Ice Rose. Use all your intelligence network. I need to know their next move and the exact location of Ice Rose.”

"Also, contact Boss Lei for me and tell him it's time for him to repay a favor. I need manpower, immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, he didn't hesitate and immediately called Bai Ningbing.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Bai Ningbing's extremely anxious voice came from the other end.

"Luo Feng! Where are you?! Are you alright?! I'm almost there!"

Hearing her voice, Luo Feng felt a little more at ease.

Fortunately, the woman was alright. What Luo Feng was afraid of was that the other party would launch a two-pronged attack, striking from both sides at the same time.

"Ningbing, listen to me! I'm fine, Snake Princess and I are safe for now."

"But you absolutely cannot come over! The attack just happened, and this place is now the epicenter of the vortex; it's too dangerous!"

"But……"

"No buts!"

Luo Feng interrupted her, his tone gentle but conveying his firm resolve.

“Go home immediately, take all your sisters and children with you. Team Leader Chen will escort you to our safe house in the suburbs, where there is the most comprehensive security system.”

"No one is allowed to enter or leave before I contact you, including you! This is of utmost importance!"

Bai Ningbing had never heard Luo Feng speak to her in such a commanding and unquestionable tone.

She instantly realized that things were far more serious than she had imagined.

Worry and fear still lingered, but she forcibly suppressed all her emotions, knowing that now was not the time to be willful.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll take everyone to the safe house right away."

Bai Ningbing tried her best to remain calm, "You...you must be careful! I'll wait for your news!"

"rest assured."

Luo Feng's tone softened slightly, "Protecting yourself and your family is the greatest help you can give me."

"I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with things here."

After ending the call, Luo Feng looked at Snake Princess.

"Can we hold on? We need to move to another place and wait for Boss Lei's men to arrive."

The Snake Princess nodded, forcing a bloodthirsty smile.

"Of course. This is just the beginning, and I won't fall."

Luo Feng stood up, peeking out with his head peeking out. His eyes were fixed on the distant roar of cars coming from the alley entrance, but no vehicles had appeared yet.

Internal troubles have been temporarily relieved, but external threats have arrived.

Then let's go.

He took a deep breath and led the way deeper into the alley, his figure quickly disappearing into the shadows.

The Snake Princess followed closely behind without hesitation.

Luo Feng and Snake Princess left the back alley and wandered through the complex streets, avoiding possible main roads and searches.

After turning a few corners, an old-style residential area came into view.

As darkness fell, a few lights began to appear.

Using the shadows as cover, the two moved close to the base of a row of bungalows.

As they passed a lit window, a voice coming from inside made them instinctively stop and hide in the darkness beside the window. "Baby, be good, Daddy'll be back soon..."

A gentle female voice, tinged with laughter, rang out.

"Wow...I want Daddy..."

A small, childlike voice called out.

"How about Mom tells you a story about the little bear? After the story, Dad will come back with candied hawthorns!"

The woman hummed a song softly and began to tell a story, while the child occasionally giggled.

Outside the window, Luo Feng and Snake Princess exchanged a glance, both able to see the complexity in each other's eyes.

The Snake Princess gazed at the blurry, warm light and shadows inside the window, her voice soft, containing a hint of almost imperceptible envy.

"If only...we were just ordinary people like this."

"There was no fighting, no scheming, just... an ordinary couple, coming home from get off work and taking care of their child..."

Her voice gradually faded.

But the injury on her arm still throbbed, like a sharp sword, constantly reminding her that the cold reality was not a fairy tale.

Luo Feng paused for a moment.

The warmth inside the window did touch him, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Ordinary people also have ordinary troubles."

He responded in a low voice, his tone calm, "Besides, once we've chosen this path, there's no turning back."

"Thinking about these things now is useless. The important thing is to survive and completely solve the problem."

Don't think that Luo Feng is really cold-hearted.

He couldn't help but envy such a scene.

But ultimately, they are not ordinary people.

They don't have the worries that ordinary people have about money.

Similarly, the troubles they are facing now are things that ordinary people wouldn't experience.

He tugged at the snake princess's arm: "Let's go, it's not safe here either."

Snake Princess glanced at the window one last time, hummed in agreement, and was jolted awake by Luo Feng's words.

Her eyes regained their ruthlessness as she followed Luo Feng's footsteps and disappeared into the night once more.

Now is not the time for sentimentality; danger is still approaching.

Luo Feng and Snake Princess walked through several alleys, gradually becoming familiar with their surroundings.

After crossing that next intersection, they would be close to the area where they originally planned to meet.

The two breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickened their pace.

Just as they were about to walk out of the alley, a cold light suddenly shot out from the shadows of a corner piled with junk, aiming straight for Luo Feng's back!

Extremely fast and silent, it was clear that it had been lying in wait for a long time, just waiting for this moment of relaxation.

"careful!"

Snake Queen gasped in surprise, and almost instinctively pushed Luo Feng aside!
puff!

The sound of a blade piercing flesh was dull yet clear.

The short knife that was originally aimed at Luo Feng's back was plunged into the right shoulder that the Snake Princess had pushed out when she pushed him!
"Uh!"

Snake Princess let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning deathly pale, and she staggered a step.

"Snake Princess!"

Luo Feng was pushed and stumbled. He turned around and saw this scene. His heart clenched and an unprecedented panic gripped him instantly!
The assassin, having failed to kill with his first strike, tried to draw his knife again.

court death!

But Luo Feng was faster than him!

At this moment, he was truly enraged.

It masked that barely perceptible panic, transforming it into an extremely terrifying speed and power.

He moved with lightning speed, grabbing the killer's wrist holding the knife and twisting it forcefully!
"Crack!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

The assassin screamed as the dagger slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Luo Feng grabbed his neck with his other hand and slammed him against the brick wall next to him!

"boom!"

The assassin was so badly injured that he saw stars and his internal organs were churning; he had completely lost the ability to resist.

Luo Feng's arm was pressed tightly against his throat, his eyes were frighteningly cold, and his voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Speak! Who sent you?!"

"Where are your accomplices?! How many are there?!"

The assassin was being choked until he could hardly breathe, his face turning a deep purplish-red, but he gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.

Luo Feng increased the force in his hand, his killing intent palpable.

"If you don't talk, you'll die right now!"

Feeling the terrifying force that almost crushed his throat, fear finally flashed in the assassin's eyes.

The assassin was almost suffocating under Luo Feng's grip. Overwhelmed by the fear of death, he struggled to open his mouth, as if trying to utter something.

"...Yes...yes..."

Just as he was about to reveal the crucial information.

Whoosh!
A very faint whooshing sound came rapidly from the side and above!
The target is the assassin's throat!

Luo Feng and Snake Queen simultaneously sensed this deadly threat!
Both were seasoned veterans with an almost instinctive sense of danger.

"Get away!"

Luo Feng let out a low shout, abruptly released the assassin, and dodged to the side and back.

At almost the same time, the Snake Princess, enduring the shoulder pain, rolled to the other side.

puff!
A soft sound.

A small, dark, diamond-shaped dart pierced the assassin's throat with pinpoint accuracy.

The assassin's eyes widened suddenly, a strange "clucking" sound came from his throat, his body twitched twice, and then he completely collapsed, his gaze frozen in his final relief, a sinister smile on his lips.

It was as if he had foreseen this scene.

Quit your mouth!

Luo Feng suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze sweeping in the direction from which the dart had been shot.

The rooftop terrace of an old residential building next door.

A blurry black shadow flashed by and disappeared at the edge of the rooftop.

"Chase!"

Luo Feng let out a low growl and made a move to give chase.

"Don't!"

The Snake Princess, despite her pain, pulled him back and shook her head, her face pale.

"It might be a diversionary tactic! My injuries... and the other side came prepared, we can't catch them."

Luo Feng paused, looking at the deadly dart in the assassin's throat, then at the Snake Queen's bleeding shoulder, his eyes filled with a terrifying gloom.
