"Could it be him?" Ling Feng pondered.

From the first moment he saw Lin Zhijie, Ling Feng had sensed a very sinister aura about him. At the time, he had kindly warned Yun Hanrui, but because his relationship with Yun Hanrui wasn't as good back then, she thought him narrow-minded. In a fit of anger, Ling Feng had stopped paying attention to the matter.

But now, it seemed that Lin Zhijie, this venomous snake, was already preparing to make his move!

"Xiao Rui, Ting Yu, now that Sun Xiaofei's condition has stabilized, you should go back and rest!" Ling Feng said gently.

Yun Hanrui took another look at Sun Xiaofei, then nodded and turned to Lin Zhijie, "Senior Brother, I'm truly too exhausted tonight, if you have something to say, let's wait until tomorrow."

Lin Zhijie hurriedly said, "Such a serious incident happened tonight, you better go back and rest early. My issue isn't urgent."

"Okay!" Yun Hanrui said as she walked out with the support of Liu Tingyu.

"Brother Lin, are you very familiar with Sun Xiaofei?" Ling Feng asked as he walked beside Lin Zhijie.

Lin Zhijie frowned, "Ling Feng, what are you implying? Sun Xiaofei and I aren't that close, we just see each other often at the company."

"I thought you two were quite close, coming to see her in the dead of night," Ling Feng remarked thoughtfully.

Lin Zhijie snorted coldly, "Sun Xiaofei is still my colleague, after all. Hearing that she was in an accident, it's only right for me to come and visit. What's so strange about that!"

With that, Lin Zhijie quickened his pace, leaving Ling Feng and his questions behind.

Ling Feng, watching Lin Zhijie's somewhat flustered back view, revealed a slight smile, "Ultimately, he's not a seasoned fox adept at hiding his tracks. But, who is really standing behind you? If I don't uproot you completely, you'll remain a significant threat to Xiao Rui!"

Pulling out his mobile phone, Ling Feng dialed a number, "Feng Xiao, stop sleeping, get up and get to work!"

On the other end of the call, Tang Fengxiao murmured sleepily, "Who are you to be calling so late at night... Holy shit, Brother Ling! Brother, you need me for something?"

"Stop sleeping, come take over a shift!" Ling Feng said.

...

On the way back, Ling Feng drove while glancing through the rearview mirror at Yun Hanrui, "Xiao Rui, you mentioned that Sun Xiaofei had something to tell you, do you know what she wanted to say?"

Yun Hanrui shook her head and said softly, "I don't know, but Xiaofei's voice sounded heavy over the phone, saying it was about Senior Brother... Oh, I should have asked Senior Brother just now!"

In Ling Feng's mind, it was clear—it was related to Lin Zhijie! It seemed that the mastermind behind this might really be Lin Zhijie!

Meanwhile, Lin Zhijie took out his phone, "Mr. Ono, I need your help!"

The night grew deeper and the hospital fell into silence. After the nurse finished her rounds, a figure appeared, drifting into the hospital like a ghost.

"Intensive Care Room 103!" The figure checked the room number, gently pried open the door, and, like a wisp of smoke, flew inside.

"This must be the Sun Xiaofei Mr. Lin mentioned," the man in black spoke in clumsy Fusang, scrutinizing Sun Xiaofei, "Mr. Lin has quite the eye for women; it's just a pity for such a beauty. If trained properly, she'd certainly be a delightful treat!"

He sighed, approached Sun Xiaofei's bedside, and reached out to unplug the life support equipment. Once the machines were off, Sun Xiaofei would be dead for sure.

But just then, a scornful voice came, "Tsk tsk, just as Brother Ling expected, a rat has indeed made an appearance!"

The man in black's face changed drastically; he hadn't expected another person to be hidden here, and most crucially, he hadn't detected them!

"Quick fight, quick decision!" the man in black suddenly reached to pull the power cord.

But then the man's face changed, he didn't grab the power cord, instead, a Little Poison Insect that had appeared from the shadows bit him.

The poisonous insect wasn't big, but the bite caused him excruciating pain, and his left hand instantly lost all sensation, as if it were a piece of wood.

"You're a member of the Tang Sect!?" the man in black gritted his teeth and said.

In his mind, only someone from the Tang Sect had the expertise to use poison like this.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Sun Xiaofei opened her eyes, a trace of mockery showing in them: "Looks like you're quite knowledgeable! So you've even heard of our Tang Sect, huh!"

Tang Fengxiao sat up, then removed his wig and face mask and said, "I thought you were here to assassinate me. What a letdown that was!"

The man in black's heart sank—so this Sun Xiaofei was a decoy, then where was the real one?

Suddenly, the man in black had an ominous premonition. Since the other side had set a trap, it meant they had predicted his ambush!

Tang Fengxiao looked at the man in black and said, "I'd advise you not to act rashly. You've been poisoned by our Tang Family's poison, and there's no hope of recovery without our unique antidote!"

"Damn it!" a cold light flashed in the man's eyes.

"A Fusang Person?" Tang Fengxiao was taken aback, then scoffed, "I was just hoping to catch a little fish, but I never expected this to involve someone from Fusang. Just go down!"

With that, Tang Fengxiao charged at him.

Mr. Ono, the Fusang Ninja, swung his right hand, and two shuriken flew towards Tang Fengxiao.

Thud, thud! The shuriken passed through Tang Fengxiao's phantom and buried themselves in the hospital bed.

But in the moment Tang Fengxiao dodged, Mr. Ono pulled out a smoke bomb from his embrace, fiercely slammed it on the ground, and with a loud bang, a vast cloud of smoke enveloped Mr. Ono.

And the smoke set off the fire alarm, soon filling the area with a piercing alarm!

"Damn it, outplayed by tricks in the gutter, what a bad start!" Tang Fengxiao smiled wryly, and by the time the smoke had cleared, Mr. Ono's figure was gone. Tang Fengxiao hadn't expected the Fusang Ninja to be so decisive; seeing the situation turn sour, he had made his escape without a second thought!

"This is bad, this is so bad, I wonder what Brother Ling is going to say when he finds out!" Tang Fengxiao helplessly shook his head and jumped out of the window.

Lin Zhijie paced anxiously at home. Even though Mr. Ono had made a move, he still had an ominous hunch!

"What's wrong with me? Mr. Ono is a Fusang lower-class ninja. Killing a mere Sun Xiaofei should be child's play, right?" Lin Zhijie consoled himself internally.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from his window.

"Mr. Ono!" Lin Zhijie hurried over.

Mr. Ono's face looked incredibly grim at this moment.

"Damn it!" he hit Lin Zhijie hard with a slap, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Mr. Ono, what is..." Lin Zhijie's tooth was knocked out, and he lay trembling on the ground.

"Stupid China pig!" Mr. Ono said coldly, "I will first draw out the poison, then I'll deal with you after!"
