As a lazy person, Lin Feng always believed that the job of monitoring Zheng Jian's conversations with a headset for twenty-four hours was better left to He Ting, after all, he was a professional police officer.
However, just after Lin Feng handed the equipment to He Ting, before he could even leave, He Ting called him back.
"Lin Feng, we already have some leads. It's truly a blessing!" He Ting said to Lin Feng, his face filled with excitement.
"Really? I thought I could take a few days off. Is it that quick to get some work done?" Lin Feng felt disappointed by Zheng Jian's impatience. He had initially thought He Ting would monitor for a few days before notifying him, but as soon as he handed over the monitoring equipment, Zheng Jian couldn't wait to start plotting.
Nonetheless, despite his reluctance, Lin Feng quickly got himself into action mode. After all, since Zheng Jian was targeting that beautiful CEO—Xiao Yue—this was his only chance.
Moreover, watching a beautiful woman about to be taken advantage of made Lin Feng feel that it would be wrong to just stand by and do nothing; at least he would feel guilty about it in the future.
Seeing a fresh and lovely cabbage about to be pushed around by a pig, Lin Feng believed that as a man, knowing all this meant he couldn't pretend not to know; at least he couldn't.
So, regardless of how unwilling he felt verbally, Lin Feng picked up another listening earpiece and began to seriously listen to Zheng Jian and his subordinates' secret conversation in a private room at the nightclub.
After listening for a while, Lin Feng felt that Zheng Jian was quite incompetent. His plan was simple: have his subordinates kidnap Xiao Yue while he waited there to force her.
Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly—not only at Zheng Jian's foolishness but also for Xiao Yue, who was about to be harmed by such an idiot.
Alright, Lin Feng admitted that at this point, he could no longer sit idly by. He had seen Xiao Yue's profile; besides being beautiful, she was also a workaholic with an excellent reputation. She had never done anything out of line and didn't even have a boyfriend. In some ways, Xiao Yue was still a good girl. If someone like Zheng Jian succeeded in taking advantage of her, Lin Feng would never forgive himself.
Seeing Lin Feng listening intently, He Ting smiled. She knew that given Lin Feng's character, once he learned about this matter, he would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
"Young Master, according to your method, while you can get Xiao Yue, don't you want more than just her body? Don't you want her heart?" Another voice spoke beside Zheng Jian. Lin Feng guessed this person was one of Zheng Jian's sycophants who had some cleverness—a strategist of sorts.
"Oh, Hook, what are your thoughts? Feel free to speak up," Zheng Jian asked at that moment.
"Young Master, since you're planning to use force anyway, how about we play the hero saving the damsel in distress first? Even if we fail, we still have a backup plan, right? We can resort to force later," Hook proposed a "good strategy."
"Heh... It's not like I haven't tried this kind of tactic before, but that woman is not so easily swayed. Besides, she has a marriage contract. Although the prince from the Lin family has been missing for over twenty years, the Xiao Family still relies on the Lin family. They won't let me have her so easily," Zheng Jian seemed to value Hook's advice, suggesting that Hook had offered many "good strategies" in front of him.
"Hmph... Although the Lin family is very powerful, unfortunately, they are a three-generation single line. By the third generation, they lost their only heir. Young Master, do you really think the Lin family can find their Young Master again?" Seeing that Young Master was somewhat tempted, Hook continued.
At this point, Lin Feng was a bit confused. What was this about the Lin family and three generations? He didn't understand any of it and could only look towards He Ting beside him.
He Ting understood Lin Feng's gaze and gave him a look that said she would explain later, then continued to listen intently.
Since He Ting had said that, Lin Feng naturally felt puzzled but continued to eavesdrop.
In fact, the listening device also had a recording function, but because he was eager to know what plan Zheng Jian would come up with and since his people were here, Lin Feng kept listening.
"Yeah, if it weren't for my fear of the Lin family, I would have already captured that person, Xiao Yue," Zheng Jian nodded in agreement.
"Heh... Young Master, you don't need to worry. Once you handle this matter, isn't Xiao Yue yours?" Hook reassured him. As a loyal strategist, he knew he had to pay attention to his master's mood; if his master was unhappy, he needed to comfort him well so that he would feel dependent.
Being a loyal strategist often requires wisdom; otherwise, do you think it's easy to be one?
"Alright, tell me how you plan to save the damsel in distress," hearing such reassurance from Hook, Zheng Jian felt much better and asked with great interest.
"Heh... Isn't this simple? Didn't you send someone to kidnap her? Then just notify them to put on a show of hero saving the damsel in distress! However, Young Master, this time you need to shed some blood; just protect your vital areas. It’s best if your injuries look serious but aren't actually severe. After all, she's just a woman; no matter how shrewd she is in business, she won't be able to tell that your injuries aren't serious," Hook continued to offer advice.
"Right! Hook, what's that called? Oh yes, gaining sympathy! Women generally have softer hearts," Zheng Jian exclaimed as he slapped his thigh in approval.
"Ha ha... Young Master, with this plan, you should at least be able to get closer to her, right? Then we can change the location to a more secluded place. At that time, you were injured, and she definitely wouldn't abandon you; after all, you did it all for her. Plus, there wouldn't be any hospitals nearby, and it would just happen to be nighttime. You could find a hotel to stay in first, and then you can really make your move. At most, you might need to use some medicine afterward. Although this doesn't guarantee she won't complain about you later, it's definitely better than directly kidnapping her from the start. By then, you can insist that it was her initiative." Hook slyly revealed his scheme.
Hearing this, Lin Feng and He Ting across the table couldn't help but gasp. If they didn't know better, the chances of Hook's plan succeeding seemed quite high.
"Ha ha... Hook, you truly deserve to be my Strategist. Alright, let's do it your way. Once it's successful, I won't treat you poorly, Young Master," Zheng Jian said. Although he might not be the quickest thinker, as a member of a Big Family, he understood how to utilize people well. Seeing Hook come up with such a good plan made him quite pleased.
Of course, he wouldn't forget to reward Hook as well.
"Thank you, Young Master. It's my duty to share your burdens; it's only right," Hook replied with a joyful expression as he thanked Zheng Jian.
"Good, no time to waste. Since the plan was your idea, I'll leave the arrangements to you. If you need money or people, just let me know. You must make sure everything goes smoothly, understand? Hook?" With such a good plan in hand, Zheng Jian was eager to implement it and spoke to Hook.
"Yes, Young Master. Enjoy yourself; I'll go arrange everything," Hook said happily as he took on the task from Zheng Jian. After that, he left with great understanding.
At this point, Lin Feng finally understood their plan.
Putting down the headset, Lin Feng first asked He Ting, "You know about the Lin family's situation, right?"
"Yes, I do. The Lin family is a true Big Family. In fact, the Golden Dragon Group that I wanted you to infiltrate is part of the Lin family's business empire. The Lin family has significant influence in many areas; that's why I wanted you to investigate," He Ting replied honestly and shared what he knew with Lin Feng.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Feng felt deceived upon hearing He Ting's explanation and asked.
"I... I thought it wasn't the right time to tell you back then," He Ting admitted his fault but still explained his reasoning.
"Hmph... So now you're telling me why Zheng Jian said the Lin family's Young Master is missing?" Lin Feng pressed further.
"Actually, this is something known among several Big Families. Although the Lin family is very powerful—larger than families like the Xiao Family or Zheng Family—they have never been prosperous in terms of heirs. It's said that they have a single heir for three generations; however, one Young Master from the third generation went missing at birth. Lin Mei is an adopted daughter of the Lin family but because they haven't been able to find Young Master Song over the years, Lin Mei can now be considered the third generation of the Lin family. Her worth is quite high because if they can't recover their Young Master, all of the Lin family's assets will likely be inherited by Lin Mei," He Ting explained at that moment.
"Okay, I understand." Although Lin Feng had learned what he needed to know, he still felt displeased with He Ting for her earlier concealment and only responded briefly before falling silent.
"Lin Feng, I know I should have considered this more carefully, but we need to proceed with this matter, do you understand?" He Ting spoke at that moment, aware that Lin Feng was likely feeling quite upset.
Indeed, this was a dangerous mission, and He Ting had withheld information, which was difficult to accept.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng said, "I will save Xiao Yue."
Regardless of the circumstances or whether the plan would be executed, Lin Feng knew that since he was aware of Zheng Jian's scheme, there was no reason to watch Xiao Yue fall into danger and allow Zheng Jian's plot to succeed.
Seeing Lin Feng's determination, He Ting acknowledged that he was still angry but could only respond, "I will continue to monitor and inform you of their specific plans."
"No need. We might not get specific times and locations from Zheng Jian. I'll just follow Xiao Yue," Lin Feng replied at that moment.
"Alright then, if anything comes up, we'll contact each other immediately," He Ting said, accepting Lin Feng's decision without further objection.
"Okay." With a slight nod, Lin Feng left He Ting's house.
Lin Feng's next task was to track Xiao Yue.
