Chapter 1147 - 1152: Eliminating Future Threats
After Lin Feng and Zhou Yang discussed their strategy, Lin Feng sent Zhou Yang off. When he returned to the room, he saw Su Zi and Ning Aoxue coming downstairs, their faces looking slightly alarmed."Lin Feng, who is that woman Zhou Yang and Fatty just caught?" Su Zi asked Lin Feng nervously. She had wanted to come down and see the commotion when she heard the noise earlier, but Ning Aoxue had stopped her.
"Why do you want to know?" Lin Feng replied with a smile to Su Zi, "If anything’s up, we’ll handle it. It doesn’t concern you, so why do you want to know...?"
"Can’t I just be concerned about you?" Su Zi pouted slightly, speaking with a bit of a playful tone.
Ning Aoxue didn’t speak, but looked at Lin Feng steadfastly with a hint of concern in her eyes.
"Alright, alright... I got it..." Lin Feng nodded with a bitter smile, "So I’ll tell you both. But, you must keep it secret, don’t go spreading it around! The woman Zhou Yang and Fatty just caught is the accomplice of that female ninja who appeared in our house before!"
Lin Feng spoke to Su Zi and Ning Aoxue with a calm face, purposely not mentioning that the female ninja had already been silenced by the Oda Kunoichi caught by Zhou Yang, to avoid scaring the two girls.
"So that’s it!" Su Zi exclaimed, admiration flashing in her eyes, "Zhou Yang and Fatty actually caught that female ninja’s accomplice so quickly, they’re amazing!"
"Yes, they’re really amazing..." Lin Feng nodded. Even he probably couldn’t have done better than Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang in this case. Just determining the opponent’s location in mere seconds, such an extraordinary skill, Lin Feng couldn’t compare to Xiang Wang. Not to mention Xiang Wang being able to recognize Oda Kunoichi’s identity immediately, allowing Zhou Yang to play along to get close and catch her, it really tested one’s insight!
"Who exactly are they? Why are they targeting us?" Ning Aoxue suddenly spoke, her gaze filled with doubt as she looked at Lin Feng, asking in a deep voice.
Until now, Ning Aoxue believed that the assassins’ target was her. But she couldn’t understand why, as her father Ning Fuxun’s plan had already involved making connections with the Hong Sect and settling relations with the Qingzi Sect through Lin Feng. No one in Jiangzhou should dare to attack the Ning Family! Ning Aoxue couldn’t figure out who exactly sent these two female assassins!
Upon hearing Ning Aoxue’s question, Lin Feng turned to look at her. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a flat voice, "Their target is not you!"
Ning Aoxue was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at Su Zi, her face revealing a sudden realization.
"Ah? Could they be targeting me?" Su Zi was taken aback, looking at Lin Feng nervously, "Lin Feng, you have to protect me well!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said to Su Zi, "Su Zi, don’t be nervous, the target is not you either!"
"Ah?" Su Zi was completely confused now. If the target wasn’t her, nor Ning Aoxue, then who were they trying to kill? It couldn’t be... that they were targeting Lin Feng?
Su Zi and Ning Aoxue almost simultaneously looked at Lin Feng, their faces showing astonishment.
Lin Feng nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, their target is me!"
Immediately, Su Zi and Ning Aoxue’s faces turned pale. They glanced at each other nervously and then looked at Lin Feng, almost speaking in unison.
"Lin Feng, what are you going to do?"
"Lin Feng, do you want to hide for a while?"
Both Su Zi and Ning Aoxue were very concerned about Lin Feng and worried that something might happen to him. Hearing that the assassins’ target was Lin Feng, they simultaneously expressed their concern.
Lin Feng looked at Su Zi and Ning Aoxue speechlessly, his expression odd, "Do you both really think I’m that cowardly? Instead of worrying about my opponents, you want me to hide? What gives them the right to make me hide..."
"Lin Feng, I know you’re strong, but it’s easy to dodge an open spear, hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!" Su Zi looked at Lin Feng with some tension, "Besides, the opponent might have guns. What if they secretly sniped at you? You should hide for a while first!"
Ning Aoxue also agreed with Su Zi’s words, nodding silently.
"Looks like I really should explain it to you..." Lin Feng looked at Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, smiling as he explained, "I can’t hide. If I do, those bad guys might target you instead! Instead of letting them have their way, I’d rather openly confront them! You should know, in this world, those who can plot against me, there aren’t more than ten of them! What am I afraid of?"
Su Zi and Ning Aoxue looked excited, they understood that the reason Lin Feng didn’t want to hide was to prevent the enemies from going after them instead... This, is how Lin Feng expresses his care?
Ning Aoxue instantly felt warm inside, somewhat unable to meet Lin Feng’s gaze directly.
"But still..." Su Zi said with a bitter smile, still worrying as she looked at Lin Feng, "What if they openly confront you without sneaky attacks?"
Lin Feng looked at Su Zi with an odd expression, shaking his head with a smile, "Miss Su, aren’t you underestimating me? Them confronting me openly, would I be afraid of that?"
Su Zi hesitated. Thinking about Lin Feng’s performance in the Imperial City, she found herself unable to refute Lin Feng’s words... because if it wasn’t by sneak attack, Lin Feng was indeed very strong, ordinary people probably couldn’t do anything against him!
"What I’m worried about right now is the two of you!" Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice, "I’m planning to send both of you away temporarily!"
"What?" Su Zi looked at Lin Feng worriedly, "Where do you want to send us?"
"The Ning Family!" Lin Feng said softly, looking at Ning Aoxue’s face.
...
This was the result of Lin Feng’s careful consideration. He decided to lure the enemies to the Jincheng residential area and deal with them nearby, which meant all non-combatants had to evacuate the Jincheng residential area!
Lin Feng planned to send Ning Aoxue, Su Zi, and the pregnant Xue Qingyi all away to the Ning Family Villa, where there were Ning Family bodyguards and brothers like Xie Nan sent by Lin Feng, as well as Su Long and other elite guards. Most crucially, there was also Xue Qingyi, a hidden master as a trump card. This way, if the killer organization’s target was only Lin Feng, the safety of those women should be assured!
This was Lin Feng’s choice to eliminate distractions. Only by not being distracted by concern for the women’s safety, could Lin Feng wholeheartedly fight to the death with those foreign assassins!
