"I don't believe a word you say, Lin Feng. If you don't want to die a horrible death, you'd better hand over the mastermind behind it all," Chen Dong said.

"Hand it over? Heh... I'd like to ask you a question: if I killed your father, would you let me go?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Chen Dong paused, his face darkening: "Isn't what you're doing a bit too much?"

"Hehe, I just want my enemy to live, what's so outrageous about that?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Fine, very well, Lin Feng, I, Chen, admit defeat today. I won't hold it against you. I hope you won't regret it tomorrow." Chen Dong snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Watching Chen Dong's departing figure, Lin Feng's face showed a cold expression.

"Chen Dong?"

"Hmph, while I, Lin Feng, would disdain such despicable methods, I can use this approach to eliminate a major threat. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"Chen Dong, I'd like to see just how capable you really are."

......

The next day, Chen Dong arrived at Lin Feng's place on time with the man named Shadow.

Shadow is an elder of the Chen family. He was once hired to kill Lin Feng, but he failed and was discovered and silenced by Chen Dong. So Shadow has come out of seclusion again.

Shadow was a man in his fifties or sixties, tall and thin, with an expressionless face and eyes as deep as the starry sky. His body was hidden under a loose black robe, making him appear somewhat eerie.

"Mr. Lin, please allow me to introduce this Elder Shadow to you," Chen Dong said.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he could introduce Elder Shadow.

Chen Dong then said to Shadow, "Elder Shadow, this is the person who hired you, Mr. Lin Feng."

"Mr. Lin, Elder Shadow, I am Shadow, sent by the Mercenary Guild to assist you in your investigation. You can give me any instructions, and I will do my best to cooperate with your investigation." Shadow spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but marvel. He hadn't expected that Shadow was actually a mute. However, the mute's voice was quite magnetic and pleasant to the ear.

"The things I need your help to investigate aren't difficult, but what I need you to do is not easy. Can you promise me?" Lin Feng said.

Shadow's eyes lit up upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I agree, but you have to first come up with something that interests me to capture my attention."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng sneered inwardly, "Shadow, Shadow, I think you're a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"Shadow, wait a moment, I'll go get a gift." Lin Feng smiled and turned to walk out of the house.

Shadow was delighted upon hearing this; it seemed Lin Feng truly had a gift for him.

"Lin Feng, you're not going to try anything funny, are you?" Shadow asked.

"Hehe, I, Lin Feng, am not a despicable person like you," Lin Feng said.

Shadow sneered upon hearing this: "Lin Feng, haven't you always looked down on people like us?"

Lin Feng ignored him and walked straight out of the courtyard.

Reaching the courtyard entrance, Lin Feng suddenly turned to look at Shadow: "Regardless of your purpose, I still hope you can keep your promise."

After saying that, Lin Feng pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard.

Watching Lin Feng's retreating figure, Shadow remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Lin Feng, I have recorded your promise. As long as I complete this matter, I will inform you of my location. I hope you will fulfill your promise."

After Lin Feng left the Chen residence, he saw Chen Dong standing next to the car.

"Lin Feng, where's your gift?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng rummaged in his pocket for a moment, then pulled out a business card and handed it to Chen Dong: "Here, this is my phone number. You can call me anytime, but I won't be meeting you."

"Lin Feng, I don't care what your purpose is, but I warn you, don't try to provoke the Chen family," Chen Dong said coldly.

Lin Feng scoffed, "Chen Dong, you're the most tasteless person I've ever met. Do you think your Chen family is some kind of powerful clan with immense influence in China?"

"Let me tell you, I, Lin Feng, have never taken anyone seriously," Lin Feng said arrogantly. "I have only one goal: to kill you."

After speaking, Lin Feng turned and walked towards the street corner in the distance.

Chen Dong was stunned.

He never expected that Lin Feng would be so audacious as to dare threaten even the Chen family.

Moreover, Lin Feng's statement about killing him is incredibly arrogant. Who does he think he is?

Chen Dong's rage surged: "Damn Lin Feng, once you die by my gun, I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

Chen Dong was so angry he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

After Lin Feng left, Chen Dong turned and entered the courtyard, sat in the main seat, and looked extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Feng's words were far too arrogant. He, the third young master of the Chen family, was being looked down upon. He couldn't swallow this insult.

"Lin Feng, you're dead!!!" Chen Dong clenched his fist tightly.

After leaving the Chen residence, Lin Feng went to an antique-style teahouse, found a quiet corner to sit down, ordered a pot of tea, and leisurely began to sip it.

After drinking a cup of tea, he heard someone call his name.

Turning around, I saw it was Chen Dong.

"Hehe, Chen Dong, we meet again." Lin Feng said casually.

"Don't you think you were being too arrogant when you were talking big?" Chen Dong said with a stern face.

"I may not have taken you seriously, but you have no right to challenge me," Lin Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"You really think you can kill me?" Chen Dong sneered.

Lin Feng smiled noncommittally: "Chen Dong, I advise you not to waste your energy on me. You should spend your time going to see your father, Chen Hailong, and check on his situation."

After saying that, Lin Feng got up and walked downstairs.
