Chapter 1457 Take life and death lightly, fight if you're not convinced!
Luo Feng sat back down, feeling the lingering intense gazes of the crowd around him and the buzzing chatter in his ears. He rubbed his temples in exasperation.

Bai Ningbing leaned closer to him, her voice filled with barely suppressed laughter and a hint of pride.

"Forced into a corner, then performing exceptionally well? I think you were prepared all along, keeping your true abilities hidden."

"Not really."

Luo Feng gave a low, bitter laugh and took her hand.

"It was like forcing a duck onto a shelf."

"We'll have to settle accounts with Su Mu later."

He said that, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the stage.

Su Mu happened to look over as well, across the noisy crowd.

Her gaze was complex, her eyes filled with a multitude of emotions.

For example, the cunning of someone whose scheme succeeds.

There was also a touch of unexpected brilliance.

Most importantly, there's also a hint of... indescribable challenge.

It was as if she wanted to have a showdown with Luo Feng.

This complex emotion is quite strange.

Luo Feng's heart stirred slightly.

This woman's purpose is probably more than just promoting her new movie and creating buzz.

On stage, Su Mu quickly regained his composure and, taking advantage of the amazing buzz from earlier, steered the conversation toward his new movie.

It has to be said that it was ingenious.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo Feng, for bringing us such heavenly music. It really felt like we were transported to the misty Jiangnan region."

She smiled and chatted amiably, controlling the pace of the conversation.

"Actually, this kind of encounter and heart-fluttering moment that transcends history will also be presented very wonderfully in my new movie!"

"This is a sincere work that blends classical charm with modern emotions, and it will be released soon. I hope you will like it~"

She remained calm and composed under the spotlight.

They cleverly leveraged the immense attention generated by Luo Feng while simultaneously shifting focus back to their own work.

Offstage, Zeng Fan confirmed again via his headset communicator.

"Each group reports on its progress."

"Area A is safe."

"Area B is safe, no abnormalities reported."

"The VIP passage is clear and offers excellent visibility."

Hearing the report that everything was normal, Zeng Fan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

The few minutes Luo Feng was on stage, and the later chorus where the audience erupted in cheers, were perfect opportunities for an infiltrator to launch an attack.

Fortunately, the people of Thanatos also seemed to be thrown off balance by this sudden turn of events.

Alternatively, they may be assessing the risks and benefits of taking action under such intense scrutiny.

After all, they still didn't want to expose themselves too early.

The concert is finally coming to an end.

As Su Mu sang her last heartfelt love song, dazzling fireworks burst from the top of the venue, transforming into starlight that fell in spectacular effect, bringing the concert to a perfect close.

The audience, still wanting more, began to leave in an orderly fashion.

The crowd surged like a tide.

"Let's wait a bit before we go," Luo Feng said to Bai Ningbing and the children.

He didn't want the people around him to be caught up in the initial, most crowded flow of people leaving.

If someone tries to take advantage of the situation, they won't be able to prevent it.

The children were still excited, chattering about their uncle's impressive performance and the splendid stage.

Just then, a person dressed in a staff uniform, who appeared to be a supervisor, walked over quickly and spoke respectfully to Luo Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

"Ms. Su Mu would like to invite you and your family backstage for a chat to thank you in person for your great help tonight."

Luo Feng and Bai Ningbing exchanged a glance.

Bai Ningbing raised her eyebrows slightly, asking him with her eyes what he meant.

Luo Feng pondered for a moment.

He really wanted to confront Su Mu and ask her what she meant by what she did tonight.

Furthermore, he also needed to find out whether Lin Naoko was aware of the situation or even if she was an accomplice.

"Okay, please lead the way."

Luo Feng nodded, while simultaneously gesturing to Zeng Fan, who was hidden in the shadows.

Zeng Fan immediately understood and whispered through the communicator: "Target is heading to the backstage area. All teams, be alert and conduct a thorough search of the backstage area to ensure the route is secure."

On the way backstage, the noise of the fans was gradually shut out.

Staff led them through several dedicated passageways to a relatively quiet backstage area.

Two people who looked like assistants were standing at the door of the dressing room. When they saw Luo Feng and his group, they immediately opened the door.

Su Mu had changed out of her glamorous performance costume and was now wearing comfortable casual clothes, sitting in front of the makeup mirror removing her makeup.

Seeing Luo Feng enter through the mirror, she turned around with a bright yet slightly apologetic smile on her face.

"Mr. Luo, Sister Ningbing, and children, thank you so much for coming."

She stood up, her gaze first sincerely meeting Bai Ningbing's before finally settling on Luo Feng.

"Especially Mr. Luo, thank you so much for tonight!"

"You've saved the day like a firefighter; you're practically a god descended from heaven!"

Her attitude was warm and her words were sincere, making it hard for anyone to really get angry.

Luo Feng touched his nose, feeling a bit ironic.

He looked at her with a half-smile, "Miss Su's surprise arrangement was truly flawless; she even tucked the microphone under my seat beforehand."

"Should I admire your foresight?"

These words were clearly meant to be sarcastic.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately showed just the right amount of surprise on her face, with a hint of playfulness as if she had been caught.

"Oh dear! You saw right through me?"

"Actually... it was Naoko-nee who told me you were here, and she even told me your seat number."

"I was thinking... how could such an important guest not have any interaction? So I came up with this idea on the spur of the moment and added this little segment."

She clasped her hands together, making a pleading gesture.

"I'm so sorry I didn't discuss this with you beforehand! But I guarantee the effect will be phenomenal! Look how much the audience loves you!"

She betrayed Rinnako and defined her actions as impulsive and for the sake of effect, making it difficult to investigate further.

"is it?"

Luo Feng remained noncommittal; he didn't believe it was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Her choice of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" was handled so smoothly, it was as if she had planned it in advance.

"Nako didn't mention this to me."

"Maybe she wanted to give you a surprise?" Su Mu blinked, deftly brushing aside the question, and then immediately changed the subject, squatting down and smiling at the little ones.

"Children, did you have fun today? Did your sister sing well?"

"happy!"

The little ones all said in unison, and Tingting added, "Uncle sings well too!"

"Yes, your uncle is really amazing."

Su Mu smiled and patted Tingting's head, then gestured to his assistant.

The assistant immediately brought over several exquisite gift bags, containing Su Mu's autographed albums and some limited-edition merchandise.

"Here's a small gift for you all, thank you for supporting your sister."

The children cheered and looked longingly at Luo Feng and Zi Ningbing.

Bai Ningbing nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Su Mu. Say thank you quickly."

"Thank you, Sister Su Mu!"

While the children's attention was drawn to the gifts, Su Mu looked at Luo Feng again, his eyes now more formal.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, your vocal qualities and stage presence are very professional."

"Would you be interested in being a guest performer at my next concert? Or, there's a song in my new movie that I think your vibe would be perfect for it..."

Luo Feng thought to himself: They're here.

Is this one of her real purposes?
Is she not just using him to create buzz, but also trying to bring him into her sphere of influence?

That's interesting; this woman's ideas are really strange.

He smiled and politely declined, saying, "Ms. Su, you flatter me."

"That's just a hobby for me. Performing on stage once is already my limit."

"It's better to separate business and entertainment."

"I believe your film will achieve great success based on its quality."

Upon being rejected so decisively, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Su Mu's eyes.

This event is sure to generate a lot of buzz, and if the two of them collaborate again in the future, I can't believe how awesome that would be.

A common tactic in the entertainment industry is to create on-screen couples.

She didn't care that Luo Feng had many girlfriends; what she cared about was Luo Feng's status.

Therefore, she also wanted to create a romantic pairing with Luo Feng to generate buzz.

But Su Mu quickly smiled again, "That's a pity."

"However, if you change your mind later, feel free to contact me!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Luo Feng excused himself, saying it was getting late, and took his leave with his family.

Leaving the dressing room, under the covert protection of Zeng Fan and others, Bai Ningbing walked towards the parking lot, taking Luo Feng's arm and whispering, "This Su Mu is not simple."

"He's quick-witted, and... his goal is clear: he's coming for you."

Luo Feng nodded. "Mm."

"She and Lin Naoko... I'll have to ask Naoko about it later."

Once inside the car, the children quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.

Luo Feng took out his phone and saw that there were already several missed calls and a number of messages.

Most of the messages came from friends and business partners, and without exception, they were all about his amazing appearance at tonight's concert.

Seeing the teasing tone of these people, he rubbed his temples, knowing that he would face another wave of public attention tomorrow.

However, just as he was about to turn off his phone screen, a text message notification popped up.

The sender was Lin Naoko.

The content consists of only one short sentence.

"The performance tonight was fantastic."

"So much so that the people of Thanatos have become quite interested in your versatility."

"They were listening the whole time. Be careful, there might be some unusual activity soon."

Luo Feng's gaze instantly sharpened.

It seems he guessed right, and Su Mu didn't lie to him.

He had indeed made plans with Lin Naoko, but he was completely unaware of it, which was a bit annoying.

Of course, Luo Feng felt that Lin Naizi must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.

The excitement and hustle and bustle of the concert seemed to vanish in an instant.

Luo Feng suddenly had a bad feeling.

From what we've seen so far, Su Mu's scheming and the audience's cheers are just appearances.

These are not the most important things.

The people of Thanatos, lurking in the shadows, did not leave.

On the contrary, his unexpected appearance seems to have made them even more eager to act.

Regardless, at least nothing unexpected happened tonight.

The little ones were not affected either.

He put away his phone, looked out the car window at the dazzling cityscape at night, and squinted.

The days ahead are unlikely to be peaceful.

If you don't accept life and death, just do it.

Luo Feng has nothing to be afraid of!

After all this time, Thanatos still couldn't do anything to him, could he?
Noticing the subtle change in Luo Feng's expression, Bai Ningbing asked softly, "What's wrong? What did Naizi say?"

Luo Feng handed her his phone and said in a low voice, "Naiko's words confirmed to me that Su Mu was not lying, but they also brought bad news."

“Thanatos’s people were indeed there and noticed me; she warned us to be careful recently.”

Bai Ningbing frowned slightly after reading the message.

"Looks like I've made quite a splash tonight."

She paused, glanced at the children who were already asleep in the back seat, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Originally, the two planned to secretly take the little ones to watch the show and then leave.

"Ah."

Luo Feng squeezed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, with Zeng Fan and the others here, we will strengthen our defenses."

"At least tonight, they didn't find an opportunity."

Just then, Luo Feng's phone vibrated slightly again.

The screen lights up, displaying a new text message.

The sender was an unfamiliar number, but the message directly revealed the sender's identity.

“Mr. Luo, I apologize for bothering you, this is Su Mu. This is my private number.”

"I apologize again for my abruptness tonight, and thank you for your wonderful performance."

"To express my apologies and gratitude, I wonder if you would do me the honor of joining me for lunch tomorrow? I have made a reservation at Yundingxuan and would like to invite you, Sister Ningbing, and the children to have a simple meal together. I hope you will not refuse."
