Sun Shijie was startled when he saw Lin Jiaxuan's condition. He hadn't expected Lin Zhiyan and the others to be so efficient; he had just informed them of the method a couple of days ago, and they had already started implementing it.

Quickly arranging for Lin Jiaxuan to be taken care of, Sun Shijie called out to Zhao Guo'an and hurriedly went to prepare the medicine.

Xiao Feng didn't come back with them; he was still on site, waiting to connect with the people who would handle the matter.

As for the cause of these people's deaths, it was naturally due to internal conflict over uneven distribution of spoils. Anyway, these were people who deserved to die. In ancient times, with the crimes they committed, they would have been sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.

After the handover, on his way back, Xiao Feng received a call from Du Linlang.

Xiao Feng answered the phone, "Hello."

Du Linlang's voice came through the receiver, "One thing, Iwakami Shigehiro has requested reinforcements from Devil's Concentration Camp, and they've agreed to send someone to assist. You need to be careful."

Xiao Feng slightly frowned, "You were able to touch such high-level information this quickly?"

"Do you think it's easy to find this out?" Du Linlang snorted coldly, "Do you know how much effort and money I spent just to find out this one sentence?"

"Money doesn't matter; you didn't have to sacrifice your charm, right?"

"It's not your money, so of course, it doesn't matter to you. But, may I interpret your last sentence as showing concern for me?"

Xiao Feng suddenly felt a headache; they couldn't even have a normal conversation without going off track within three sentences?

"As for the money, I can reimburse you for part of it when I get back." Xiao Feng said, "And you definitely don't need to sacrifice charm for information. I'm not at the point where I need you to make that kind of sacrifice."

"So if one day I'm exposed, you won't just abandon me, right?" Du Linlang asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Xiao Feng responded flatly.

Objectively speaking, the reason Du Linlang is "undercover" is largely for her own safety, but after all, it's also of considerable value to him. To truly just abandon her would be quite unkind.

"You do have some conscience left!" Du Linlang huffed lightly, then changed her tone, "But aren't you afraid of getting more deeply involved with me, unable to extricate yourself?"

Xiao Feng directly ignored the remark and changed the subject, "Let's get down to business. I'm planning to assign you an assistant who should arrive in Jiangcheng in the next few days. Be prepared."

On the other end of the phone, Du Linlang was silent for a long while and then said, "Are you doubting me?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a double agent?" Xiao Feng joked, "Under those conditions, of course, I have to keep a backup plan."

"Alright, I understand."

With that, Du Linlang unhesitatingly hung up the phone.

"Beep...beep...beep..." Listening to the dial tone, Xiao Feng immediately became confused. What on earth was that woman's mindset? She could constantly tease him, but he couldn't joke with her?

Indeed, a woman's heart is like diving into the sea, impossible to fathom!

While reflecting on this, the phone rang again.

Xiao Feng answered it straight away, irritably saying, "What else is there?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the person said, "Weren't you the one who told me to call you?"

Xiao Feng slightly frowned, took the phone away from his ear, and found it was an unfamiliar number. Then he thought about the somewhat familiar female voice earlier, and it must have been Gao Panpan.

"Go to the town entrance and wait for me. We'll discuss the details in person."

...

To be honest, Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised that Gao Panpan managed to get out so quickly, but being out doesn't entirely clear suspicion.

Perhaps it was witnessing the treacherous hearts of the people from the acrobatics troupe; Xiao Feng suddenly found Gao Panpan much more agreeable.

Under the streetlight, Gao Panpan, wearing an off-white down jacket, with her hands in her pockets and her head lowered, was kicking small stones on the road, appearing somewhat absent-minded, until Xiao Feng was within five meters of her that she raised her head.

"Your acting skills are good, but your vigilance is lacking." Xiao Feng said flatly.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?" Gao Panpan got straight to the point without wasting words.

Xiao Feng pondered, "Have you seen spy dramas?"

Gao Panpan immediately reacted, "You want me to be a commercial spy?"

"Not exactly." Xiao Feng shook his head, "A spy, yes, but not a commercial one."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is, a commercial spy, when discovered, loses their freedom; but with you, once exposed, you're risking your life."

Gao Panpan frowned deeply, "Can I choose not to agree?"

"Don't you want millions anymore?" Xiao Feng asked in return.

"I do." Gao Panpan nodded vigorously, then changed her tone, "But I'm more afraid that before I get my hands on the money, I'd already be dead."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng nodded slowly, "It's normal to have such thoughts. On the contrary, if you had agreed right away, I'd probably have to suspect there was something wrong with you.

So here's the deal: go to Jiangcheng, find the president of Lanyue Group, and say I sent you. Then you stay there for a month, and after that, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you."

Gao Panpan was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "I thought you'd threaten to send me back to the police station... What's your name?"

"Xiao Feng."

"Xiao Feng... I'll remember that. Anything else?" Gao Panpan asked, clearly agreeing to Xiao Feng's plan for her to stay a month at Lanyue Group.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Your acting skills are excellent. I think you can show instant admiration for the president of Lanyue Group and make her fall deeply in love with you.

If you succeed in doing that, I'll give you a million as a reward, regardless of whether you agree to be a spy or not."

In fact, Xiao Feng's statement was purely to mess with Du Linlang, who always used words to tease him!

For other men, being teased by such a beautiful woman like Du Linlang would undoubtedly be a delightful experience, but for someone with Xiao Feng's temperament, being teased repeatedly is a great shame and utterly unbearable.

Gao Panpan hesitated for a while before nodding, "I'll try my best, but you have to pay me half the deposit upfront."

"No problem!" Xiao Feng readily agreed.

Soon, he awkwardly realized that all his wealth in the hundreds of millions was in Du Qingyue's hands, leaving him without any money to use.

Although a direct phone transfer isn't impossible, Du Qingyue would eventually realize something was wrong. What would he say when questioned about the money?

Could he possibly be truthful and confess that he spent a million just to mess with Du Linlang, retaliating against her repeated teasing?

That would just make him seem like he's got nothing better to do.
