Chapter 958 - Persuasion!
That time in the northeast, Zhang Lei had blocked the bullets for Ji Feng, but he almost died. If the bullets had been a bit more accurate, Zhang Lei would have died there.That incident had given Ji Feng a deep lesson that he would definitely remember for the rest of his life. Hence, before this operation, Ji Feng repeatedly reminded Zhang Lei and the rest that they had to be careful of their own safety.
Nothing else mattered as long as the person was safe. Nothing else mattered as compared to the person.
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Don"t worry. I"ll definitely pay attention."
However, Ji Feng shook his head and said: "Just being careful is not enough. We must put safety first. The success of this operation is secondary, the most important thing is to protect yourself!"After repeatedly admonis.h.i.+ng Zhang Lei and the others, Ji Feng was relieved when he saw that Zhang Lei and the others had already listened to his instructions. What he feared the most was that the moment Zhang Lei took over the command, he would be too impulsive. If he were to do so, it would be easy for him to be injured. This wasn"t what Ji Feng wanted to see.
If the remnants of the cheetah mercenary group were to be exchanged for any of Zhang Lei"s group, Ji Feng wouldn"t be willing to do so. Even if all the members of the cheetah mercenary group ran away, as long as Zhang Lei and the rest were safe, there wouldn"t be a problem.
After instructing them, Ji Feng clapped his hands and said, "Alright, then we"ll continue to make preparations. Once the route has been decided, we"ll check the weapons again. I won"t waste any more time. We"ll just act with caution."Because Ji Feng did not know the exact location of the salon, he could not determine the route right now. Thus, he could only decide on a plan of action, such as how to move, who would be in charge of the main attack, who would be in charge of the cover, how to solve the problem of the vehicles, and so on.
Leaving Zhang Lei and the rest to discuss, Ji Feng contacted Old Zhou and inquired about the details. Soon, a detailed plan of action was slowly formed.
Old Zhou very quickly sent over the detailed address for the Salon, and at Ji Feng"s request, Old Zhou provided them with a car. Ji Feng and the others drove around the hosting area for a few rounds, determining the route of the operation as well as the route of retreat.
Then they waited for the salon to open.The next day at noon, Ji Yu called again, but her voice sounded a little hesitant: "Ji Feng, you don"t need to come to the salon this time, do you?"
Ji Feng asked with a smile, "What"s wrong? Didn"t we say it earlier? Why don"t you need me to go now? "
However, he"d realized in his heart that some unforeseen event might have occurred.
Ji Yu said, "Actually, I thought about it and felt that it"s not really appropriate. "This business salon is actually just an exchange activity. Furthermore, there are even political dignitaries present. It is very boring. You will definitely feel uncomfortable coming here, so it is best that you do not come here."
In truth, Ji Yu didn"t feel confident.When Ji Lihai suddenly asked her to invite Ji Feng, she already felt that it was a bit strange. Thus, she carefully investigated, wanting to find out Ji Feng"s motive. She first started with the list of people attending the meeting. Other than the fact that one of the dignitaries was extremely hostile towards the mainland, she did not find anything else amiss.
However, the only person on the list who had anything to do with Ji Feng was the leader - that person had been jumping up and down, making public statements against the mainland more than once. Ji Yu also discovered that the cheetah mercenary group was very close to the leader.
This made Ji Yu a little worried. He didn"t know if there would be any unexpected changes in the future.Although this had nothing to do with Ji Lihai, Ji Yu had noticed something wrong with him, so she called Ji Feng and told him not to attend.
As for why Ji Lihai suddenly invited Ji Feng, Ji Yu hadn"t figured it out yet. In order to find out, she even directly called Ji Lihai and asked. She didn"t hide her distrust towards Ji Lihai at all.
However, Ji Lihai didn"t say anything else apart from lowering his face and reprimanding her. Ji Yu angrily hung up the phone.Thinking and thinking, she felt that something was wrong. Ji Yu didn"t want Ji Feng to come. She didn"t want Ji Feng to take the risk because of her invitation.
Although Ji Feng did not know about Ji Yu"s series of mental activities, nor the process of her investigation, he could hear the hesitation in her words. However, to Ji Feng, it was necessary to personally go to the salon.
It was a good opportunity to take care of all the remnants of the cheetah mercenary group. Otherwise, it would be difficult for those guys to find an opportunity when they were with the political official.
Ji Feng did not have much time to waste here. Once the Alpha Ore was s.h.i.+pped back, he would immediately return to refine and develop the laser gun, so he had to seize this opportunity.
Although Ji Feng was puzzled by Ji Lihai"s sudden invitation, it would not become a reason to stop him.
"Yu, you don"t have to be so polite, I"ll be there on time tomorrow." Ji Feng laughed as if he did not hear the meaning behind Ji Yu"s words, "I also want to take this opportunity to gain more knowledge. I have never partic.i.p.ated in such events before! Furthermore, since you want to use me as a s.h.i.+eld, then I will definitely fulfill my duty! "
"But …"Ji Yu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Feng.
Ji Feng laughed, "Alright, that"s a deal. Since I have to go back as well, we should take this opportunity to have a drink."
"... "Alright then."
Ji Yu nodded and said. She initially wanted to persuade Ji Feng, but upon hearing that Ji Feng wanted to go back and have a drink with her, she subconsciously agreed.
Ji Feng smiled and said, "Then we have a deal. Oh yes, you can send me the address and the time of the event. I will be there on time tomorrow! Oh, since this event is so high-end, does it mean that you"ll need to have an invitation? "
"I"ll send it to you in a bit, but there"s no need for the invitation. Call me when you get there, I"ll pick you up." Ji Yu said.
"Alright!" "Then it"s settled!" Ji Feng chuckled.
"... "Fine!"Ji Yu nodded and hesitantly agreed. In her heart, however, she was secretly saying to herself, "A bad and weak spirit, I have a bad premonition. I must not let this happen!"
After that, she secretly hesitated as she sent out the address and time of the Salon to Ji Feng.
In truth, if it was any other time, Ji Yu would give him this vague advice not to partic.i.p.ate in the event. He might have thought that Ji Yu might have some sort of problem, and would probably agree to it.
However, he couldn"t do it this time. This was an opportunity, and he had to seize it.
Even if there was danger, he would admit it!Otherwise, if he missed today, he would not know when he would have the time to take care of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. One had to know that this group of people often made a ruckus and wanted to take revenge on Hua Xia and Yun Yun.
On the other hand, Taiwan"s media, which were full of hostility towards China, published every single word of those people, even adding fuel to the fire.
Seeing them acting so arrogantly, insulting China, Ji Feng felt a bit of anger. Now that this opportunity was right in front of him, how could he not seize it?
Two days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. At around four in the afternoon of the third day, Ji Feng and the white pearl appeared on a side street a few streets away from where they had landed. He waved his hand and easily got a taxi.
The business salon started at 6 p.m. sharp, but since there were political dignitaries present, as well as business tyc.o.o.ns and entrepreneurs, and even mafia giants like Ji Lihai, the other partic.i.p.ants had to arrive early to show their respect.Therefore, when Ji Feng and White Pearl took almost an hour to arrive at the entrance of the hotel where the salon was held, it was already filled with luxurious cars, the hall was already brightly lit, and there were even people standing at the entrance to welcome them. Besides, there was a banner hanging next to the entrance, and the LED display above the door of the hotel had the words "Business Salon" scrolling down.
From the looks of it, Ji Feng knew that if one did not have the invitation letter, one would not be able to enter the hotel. Ji Feng knew that one would not be able to enter the hotel unless one did not go through the main entrance, and one would have to sneak in through a window.
Ji Feng took out his phone and prepared to call Ji Yu.
However, just as he took out his cell phone and was about to dial the number, he suddenly frowned. His eyes narrowed and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Ji Feng could feel that there seemed to be someone watching him from the shadows. There was more than one direction!There were even some on top!
Ji Feng held onto his phone and flattened it. From the smooth, mirror-like screen of his phone, he scanned through all the windows that he touched, but didn"t discover anything.
He was really alert!Ji Feng coldly snorted in his heart. It seems like there will be no good feast today!?
"Young Master Ji, something"s wrong!" The white pearl approached Ji Feng without leaving a trace, lowered its voice and said, "I feel like someone is monitoring us!"
As her cultivation level increased, the White Pearl"s senses were also extremely keen. Her previous experience as an a.s.sa.s.sin had caused her to almost develop an instinctive vigilance, and as a result, she could only habitually scan her surroundings, but unintentionally sense that someone was watching them.
This caused White Pearl to instantly become vigilant, and it subconsciously sensed a danger!
