Chapter 1365: Lure the Snake out of Its Hole
On hearing what Li Zheng said, the three in the office first gave a little start and then knitted their brows. Lin Feng snorted coldly and said, “I’d like to know how those people plan to hurt Tongtong!”
Those people actually targeted a child! They had no bottom lines. For every single base, children were the most treasured beings. They were the future, the hope of mankind. Who would want to hurt them?
“These people are outrageous! I can’t believe they’re gonna hurt a child! We only have a few children in our base. How dare they!” Du Yuanxing was surprised at first, and then he immediately grew enraged. Chen Yuting wore a sullen face as well.
Ever since Shen Yujen became a zombie, he accepted the fact that he might never have a child. That had become the regret in the hearts of his and Shen Yujen. Therefore, he always had a special feeling when he saw the kids in the base. Hence, he was infuriated when he heard that someone planned to hurt a child.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, “Good.! They intend to hurt the kid, so let’s play the game and let them do what they want.”
The others immediately turned to him without agreeing with him.
“How can we do that? What if they really hurt Tongtong?” Du Yuanxing instantly disagreed.
“That’s too risky!” Chen Yuting didn’t agree with him either.
“Without a reason that’s good enough, how can we hunt all of them down? I’m worried about Tongtong too, so we’ll stop them in time when they make the move. Believe me, Tongtong will be fine,” Lin Feng said.
Chen Yuting made eye-contact with the other two and said, “We need to talk to Liu Jun about that and see if she’s okay with it.”
Lin Feng immediately looked at Li Zheng and said, “Go and invite Liu Jun over.”
Li Zheng glanced at the others before nodding and leaving.
“I’ll let w.a.n.gxue protect Tongtong closely. She’s fast, so it’ll be very difficult for those people to hurt the boy. Don’t worry, we’ll try our best to keep Tongtong safe,” Lin Feng looked at Du Yuanxing and Chen Yuting and gave his promise. The two glanced at each other and didn’t know what to say.
Lin Feng was going to send his wife to protect Tongtong and leave his own daughter behind. What else could they say? Also, he was right. Cheng w.a.n.gxue’s super strength and speed made her the perfect bodyguard.
Before long, Li Zheng brought Liu Jun to Lin Feng’s office.
Liu Jun came in to find all three of them on the scene. She stood before Lin Feng with confusion and looked at him quietly. Instead of asking a question, she waited for him to start talking.
Lin Feng first looked at her and pointed at the chair that Li Zheng brought over for her. As she sat down, he started explaining, “We just got the message that some people intend to hurt Tongtong. They plan to injure him severely, so Lin Hao would have to perform an operation on him. They want Lin Hao to perform an operation because they intend to steal his keys while he’s doing that and open his secret cabinet to steal the confidential files. I want Tongtong to pretend to be attacked by them, so we can catch all of those people in one action and then punish them for a.s.sault, theft, and attempting to betray the base. But, I need your permission.”
Liu Jun grew nervous once she heard that someone intended to hurt Tongtong. But then, she cooled herself down and listened to what Lin Feng said carefully as she started to ponder over his meaning.
It took her a little while to figure out what Lin Feng meant. She looked at the latter with a frown and said, “Are you gonna use Tongtong to lure those people out?”
Those people already had their eyes on Tongtong. If Tongtong was suddenly hidden away, they would certainly grow suspicious, and then they would stop their secret actions and hide deeply. In that case, it would take quite some time and effort to find another opportunity to accuse them of crimes. If they got caught while attempting to hurt Tongtong, there would be solid evidence of the crime against them. In that way, Lin Feng and his people wouldn’t need to spend any extra time and energy to deal with them.
“I’ll send w.a.n.gxue to protect Tongtong herself, so you don’t need to worry about his safety.” Seeing Liu Jun knit her brows, Lin Feng thought that she was worried about Tongtong’s safety, so he gave her a promise.
Liu Jun looked at him. To be honest, she was really worried about Tongtong’s safety and didn’t believe in what Lin Feng said fully. She knew that Cheng w.a.n.gxue would try very hard to keep Tongtong safe, but accidents could still happen.
However, Lin Feng offered to let Cheng w.a.n.gxue protect Tongtong, which put Liu Jun in a difficult situation. She didn’t know much about Cheng w.a.n.gxue’s ability, but she clearly knew that if the other was going to protect Tongtong, she would have to leave Xiaolu alone. Liu Jun didn’t have the heart to say no to that, because she was aware that she could not protect her son herself.
After all, any move she made would arouse the enemies’ suspicion.
Seeing Liu Jun hesitate, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said, “What about I ask Yun Meng for help? She should be a better protector than w.a.n.gxue.”
To ease the worry of Tongtong’s mother, Lin Feng decided to ask Yun Meng for help. Yun Meng was a level-seven zombie with invisibility. If she stayed close with Tongtong, no one would be able to hurt the boy.
On hearing that, Liu Jun paused briefly and then fell into silence. If Yun Meng agreed to protect Tongtong, she would have nothing to worry about. She thought for a moment and then asked, “Are you sure we can get all of them in that way?”
Lin Feng glanced at the others and nodded at her, “Yes, you don’t need to worry about that.” The others nodded as well.
“We already know about their plans. We know about their every move. As long as we strike before they can react, they won’t be able to get away,” Du Yuanxing looked at Liu and said.
“Alright,” Liu Jun nodded and said, “Okay, I agree if you’re so confident. I hope that you won’t let go of any mole who’s been trying to tear our base down from the inside. I also want my Tongtong to stay safe.”
“Tongtong’s safety means a lot to all of us. I’ll talk to Yun Meng about it carefully,” said Lin Feng to her with a serious look.
After Liu Jun left, Lin Feng asked Li Zheng a question, “Did that person give us the specific time when they plan to take action?”
Li Zheng shook his head and said, “No. He said they’ll do it soon, and he also told us to be prepared as soon as we can.”
