Upon hearing Black Bear’s words, Chu Feng also said, "What happened?"
In a hurried tone, Black Bear said, "It’s not convenient to explain the details over the phone. Can you co out for a bit?"
Chu Feng asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
Lowering his voice, Black Bear said, "I’m in an alley around the corner, five hundred ters from your house."
Chu Feng replied, "Alright, I’m on my way."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng left his ho to find Black Bear.
At that ti, Black Bear was completely wrapped in a black windbreaker. If not observed closely, one would definitely mistake him for a wall and simply pass by.
"What happened?" Chu Feng frowned and asked upon finding Black Bear.
Black Bear’s body swayed, and he said weakly, "Take to a safe place first."
Chu Feng looked at Black Bear, one eyebrow raised, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Black Bear nodded and then opened his windbreaker, allowing Chu Feng to see a startling wound. This wound had nearly sliced open Black Bear’s abdon entirely; fortunately, Black Bear’s thick skin spared him from being completely split open, but the sight was still shocking.
"Follow !" Chu Feng led Black Bear back to his own villa.
Since he and Qin i had moved to the house opposite, this one had been empty.
"Now only you can save Captain Huang," Black Bear said, grabbing Chu Feng’s arm as soon as they entered the villa.
Chu Feng replied with a serious tone, "I’ll save you first, then go save her."
"I’m alright," Black Bear insisted, shaking his head.
"Don’t move!"
Chu Feng’s movents were lightning-fast as he quickly sealed several major acupoints on Black Bear’s body.
Then he used golden needles to close the bleeding wound and applied his own mixed dicine powder to help Black Bear stop the bleeding.
These dicine powders were formulated by Chu Feng himself for ergencies. However, he didn’t expect that he wouldn’t need them, but Black Bear would.
"Were you injured by an expert?" Chu Feng inquired, looking at Black Bear’s wound.
Chu Feng’s treatnt had made Black Bear feel much better, and he spoke with more strength.
"Yes, by a Yellow Level Late Stage expert," Black Bear said.
Chu Feng furrowed his brows and asked, "Was it soone from Dragon Soul?"
Black Bear was one of the Dragon Soul mbers. Although Chu Feng had never been inside, he knew that for a Yellow Level Late Stage expert to injure soone inside Dragon Soul was probably impossible.
Black Bear nodded, "Yes."
Chu Feng asked, "Why?"
Black Bear replied, "Soone doesn’t want to see Captain Huang return alive."
Killing intent unavoidably rose within Chu Feng. Although Huang Lan often teased him, she truly treated him well and was a great help.
"Who is it?"
The killing intent emanating from Chu Feng made Black Bear shudder as he said, "I’m not sure about the specifics of the situation. Only Captain Huang knows."
Chu Feng, upon hearing Black Bear’s words, couldn’t help but rage, "She knew and she still took on such a dangerous mission?"
Black Bear said, "Captain Huang did it for you."
When Chu Feng heard what Black Bear said, he was taken aback and asked, "For ?"
Black Bear nodded and explained, "Although Tributor Zhang intervened in the tomb issue last ti, there were still so people at the top who were not pleased. So they assigned this mission, worrying that you lacked experience, Captain Huang decided to go in your place."
Moved by Black Bear’s words, Chu Feng felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Do I, a grown man, really need her protection? Where is she now?"
Black Bear replied, "She’s on a gambling ship, but her exact location is currently undeterminable. However, this ship will dock at Silver Beach, East River, tomorrow."
Chu Feng anxiously asked, "And what about Huang Lan’s situation now?"
Black Bear shared, "It’s been three days since I last made contact with Captain Huang, and that’s why I’m worried that sothing might have happened to her."
After a mont of contemplation, Chu Feng said, "Tell everything about this mission and everything about the other party."
Imdiately, Black Bear shared the mission’s specific details with Chu Feng.
The mission itself was not complicated. It simply required Huang Lan to board the ship and retrieve a docunt. This docunt contained a technological secret from Huaxia, but it had been taken by a traitor who intended to hand it over to hostile forces.
Huang Lan went there specifically to retrieve this docunt. What made it truly complex was the situation on the gambling ship.
The gambling ship belonged to the Gambling King of Asia—He Sheng. Although He Sheng was Huaxia, he maintained a neutral stance and was not restricted by Dragon Soul. Of course, his ability to remain neutral and unrestricted by Dragon Soul was built on certain privileges he possessed.
He Sheng’s subordinates included four experts: Nine Points, Dice, Mahjong, and Poker.
These four were He Sheng’s top experts, enabling him to remain unrestricted by Dragon Soul.
Of course, while he didn’t challenge Dragon Soul, he didn’t dare to oppose it directly. After all, his four experts were still not potent enough to truly shake Dragon Soul.
The adversaries that Huang Lan had to confront on the ship were from another hostile power, possibly related to the USA, and might include Genetic Warriors, equally formidable in strength.
Since He Sheng maintained a neutral stance, Dragon Soul couldn’t act ostentatiously and had to be mindful of their conduct. This was what made the mission particularly challenging. Huang Lan was worried that Chu Feng might mishandle these relationships, leading to unnecessary troubles
Eventually, the higher-ups would seize on this as grounds for charges, and by then, not even Zhang Shisan could save Chu Feng.
After hearing Black Bear’s explanation, Chu Feng clenched his fists, feeling disappointed with Dragon Soul as well.
But since Huang Lan had gone for his sake, Chu Feng couldn’t just leave her unaided.
"How can I get on the ship?" asked Chu Feng.
Black Bear replied, "Tomorrow, you can board the ship as a gambler. However, you’ll need a believable and significant identity to get on, as the ship doesn’t allow just anyone aboard."
Chu Feng responded, "I understand. I’ll take care of it. Later, I will take you to my Master’s place; you should be safe there."
Black Bear said, "Thank you."
No sooner had Chu Feng and Black Bear stepped out from the front door than they saw two middle-aged n who had been waiting outside Chu Feng’s house.
Both were Yellow Level Experts, one at the Mid-Stage and one at the Late Stage. For their age, such prowess was not weak by any ans.
"Hand over the person behind you, Chu Feng, and you can leave," the Yellow Level Late Stage Expert said to Chu Feng.
Facing the two n, Chu Feng asked, "What if I say no?"
The Yellow Level Late Stage Expert replied, "If you say no, then we’ll have no choice but to take both of you with us!"
With a chill in his tone, Chu Feng countered, "Then let’s see if you two are up to the task?"
