Lin Feng sent a text while continuing to move and scan his surroundings for anyone suspicious. With Wu Mei, he returned to the vicinity of the room where the Sky Wolf Gang had placed Zheng Shuizhou's body. The stranger's previous message had clearly indicated that he was an eyewitness when Lin Feng had faced off against the Sky Wolf Gang.

Lin Feng intended to look for useful leads or clues from this line of thought.

Five minutes later, another text message came in.

"Not bad, they are currently in my hands. You and I will play a game. If you win, I will let them go. If you lose, join them on a dive to feed the sharks... What do you say?"

Without thinking, Lin Feng asked, "Who the hell are you, and what game are you playing?"

The other party on the phone went silent.

Taking advantage of his excellent field of vision and ability to remain unseen, Lin Feng circled the area around the room where Zheng Shuizhou's body had been placed. Afterwards, he quickly discovered the Linglong Needle Xue Qingyi had intentionally left on the deck.

Wu Mei, oblivious to the disappearance of Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang, watched Lin Feng's actions with a puzzled expression. "Is that a... needle? Lin Feng, what are you doing?"

Lin Feng wasn't sure how to explain it to Wu Mei... He was now fairly certain that the mysterious person contacting him from the shadows was the same master assassin who had previously rigged the BMW he had won with a C4 bomb, and had also sent them poisoned food that very morning. What was even more terrifying was that they had managed to abduct Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang so stealthily... Faced with such an opponent, Lin Feng felt completely out of his depth. Therefore, he absolutely didn't want Wu Mei to know what was truly happening.

Wu Mei's skills were quite good compared to ordinary people; she might even be considered one of the top special operatives in the detective squad. However, in front of a true master assassin, Wu Mei's skills were no different from those of an ordinary person with no ability to resist... If Lin Feng insisted on bringing Wu Mei along, she would probably just hold him back.

Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to send Wu Mei to a safe place, ideally with a few strong, professional bodyguards protecting her... But since Lin Feng had parted ways with Long Shaotian, he had few options at the moment...

Just then, Long Xiaoyun appeared on deck, his voice full of joy and excitement.

"Brother Feng, are you alright? I've come to see you!" Upon catching sight of Lin Feng from afar, Long Xiaoyun called out to him in a high-spirited voice. Behind him were Yan Su, Li Hong, and Li Liping.

They all looked at Lin Feng sympathetically. In their view, even if Lin Feng ultimately managed to escape, they felt guilty for not being able to help him when he was at his most vulnerable...

As Lin Feng's direct squad leader, Yan Su felt particularly pained. He had called Lin Feng to help him during the most difficult part of the mission, yet when Lin Feng himself was in trouble, Yan Su could only stand by helplessly. It was naturally agonizing for him... Li Hong and Li Liping also cared for Lin Feng because he had saved Li Liping's life. They were undoubtedly among the most worried when they saw Lin Feng surrounded earlier.

Reassuring Yan Su, Li Liping, and Li Hong with a gesture, Lin Feng turned to look at Long Xiaoyun and asked cheerfully, "Young Master Long, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, Lin Feng, calling me that is so formal!" Long Xiaoyun said, feigning familiarity as he lightly patted Lin Feng's shoulder with a smile. "Don't call me Young Master; let's address each other as brothers!"

Lin Feng just smiled faintly, noncommittally. Slightly raising his head, he said lazily to Long Xiaoyun, "Young Master Dragon, just get straight to the point. I'm busy!"

"Nothing serious..." Long Xiaoyun laughed heartily. "It's just that my dad still wants you to box for him. He asked me to tell you..."

Is that true or not? Lin Feng genuinely couldn't understand. Long Shaotian had just severed ties with him, and now he was proposing that Lin Feng fight for him. That guy's skin is incredibly thick; it's truly a rare sight!

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you, Brother Feng!" Long Xiaoyun replied earnestly. "My dad also said that if you're willing to box and win, you'll get three million per fight..."

"Three million? Do I look like I care about three million? But since you've asked, Young Master Dragon, I have to give you face! I agree..." Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.

He didn't particularly want to earn more money. However, by agreeing, he could continue to help Yan Su complete his mission, and it would also be a good opportunity to have Yan Su help protect Wu Mei properly. Meanwhile, he himself could focus on thoroughly investigating that mysterious master assassin. That wouldn't be a bad arrangement.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's casual agreement, Long Xiaoyun was stunned for several seconds, then became so excited he nearly shouted aloud. I'm finally someone with face! Even Brother Feng is doing me this favor! This feels damn good!

Ever since Chen Ming, the Hall Master of the Jiangzhou Battle Hall of the Qingzi Sect, had expressed interest in competing with Long Shaotian for the position of the head of Jiangzhou, Chen Ming's son, Chen Qingyun, had harbored animosity towards Long Xiaoyun. Chen Qingyun repeatedly undermined Long Xiaoyun's reputation, making him feel worthless. This had been going on for several years, and Long Xiaoyun had nearly developed a psychological trauma because of Chen Qingyun.

Lin Feng, who had only been interacting with Long Xiaoyun for a few days, had not only successfully helped Long Xiaoyun put Chen Qingyun and Long San in their place but had also readily given Long Xiaoyun face during this awkward situation. This allowed Long Xiaoyun's vanity to swell just a little.

"Brother Feng, if there's anything you need my help with in the future, just say the word. From now on, I, Long Xiaoyun, am your man!" Long Xiaoyun said to Lin Feng, extremely excited. The excitement in his heart was beyond words.

Lin Feng ignored the excited Long Xiaoyun and turned to Wu Mei with a gentle gaze. He softly took her hand and said quietly, "You should regroup with Yan Su and stay close to him. I have things to do tonight and probably won't be able to keep you company."

Although Wu Mei had not spent much time with Lin Feng, her intuition was sharp. She quickly noticed the tension in Lin Feng's eyes beneath his seemingly relaxed demeanor...

"Are you trying to send me away on purpose?" Wu Mei asked, looking at Lin Feng, her tone softer.

"AHEM… No, definitely not…" Lin Feng coughed lightly and shook his head.

Wu Mei didn't press Lin Feng further. She believed he wouldn't send her away without a good reason; he definitely had something important he needed to do...

"Then you need to be careful…" Wu Mei said. She knew her own skills were too weak; if she insisted on staying by Lin Feng's side, she would likely just hold him back. Therefore, she made the sensible decision to part ways with Lin Feng and followed behind Yan Su.

"Lin Feng, are you okay?" Finally, Li Liping found an opportunity to talk to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng just shook his head with a smile, held up his phone, and murmured, "Sister Li, nice to see you! I've gotten a text..."

Lin Feng activated his phone screen and saw the new text message contained only a few words:

"Let's play a game of death..."
