Chapter 1364: Someone Delivered the Message

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Meiqing had a great plan at first. She believed that she would be able to find some valuable clues as long as she got close to Lin Hao. Unexpectedly, after spending a few months working with Lin Hao, she still didn’t know where to start. She knew that Lin Hao would take precautions but never thought that he’d keep the secret so well that she couldn’t find anything at all.

She was going to be patient and look for the secret slowly. However, the current situation didn’t allow her to waste more time. She tried to get something out of Lin Hao’s sister and sister-in-law, but to her surprise, those two women weren’t easy either.

After work, Lu Meiqing didn’t go home but went straight to the people whom she worked for. Of course, she didn’t realize that she was already under watch.

She arrived at the area where her people gathered and looked around to confirm that no suspicious people were on the scene. After that, she walked into the neighborhood, entered a building, and knocked on a door rhythmically. Soon, the door was opened. The person behind the door looked vigilant at first but relaxed upon seeing her and let her in.

She went into the apartment and walked straight through the living room, toward a bedroom.

“How is it going? Did you bring us good news?” As she went in, the people in the room all looked at her expectantly.

Lu Meiqing came into the room and sighed helplessly as she shook her head and said, “No, nothing. I haven’t tried to talk to Lin Wenwen yet. She’s smarter than her sister-in-law. I’ve talked to Cheng Wangxue, but she didn’t say anything useful.”

The four men sitting in the room all seemed disappointed on hearing her words. One of them knitted his brows and said anxiously, “We don’t have much time left. Haven’t you gotten those keys yet? Doesn’t he have any operations to perform recently?”

Lu Meiqing knew how anxious he was, but she couldn’t say anything to make him feel better. “He hardly performs operations,” she said, “For normal illnesses, he can heal his patients using his superpower. He doesn’t need to perform operations unless the patients are suffering some serious injuries or some other severe conditions.”

She had to wait for Lin Hao’s next operation to steal his keys.

“Haven’t there been any severely injured patients for him to save recently? We can’t wait longer. Maybe we should send him a patient who’ll need him to perform an operation on.” The other man thought for a moment and then gave a suggestion.

“What do you want to do?” Lu Meiqing looked at him with surprise.

The man said with cruelty in his eyes, “We want him to take the patient seriously and perform an operation to save the patient, so it has to be someone he cares about. The adults will be difficult, as they’re all highly alert. The kids might be easier.”

The others immediately got his meaning. Some of them hesitated though. “Are you gonna hurt his niece? Lin Feng has been protecting the girl quite well. It’s not gonna be easy for us.”

The man turned to the one who said that as he shook his head and said, “Who said I’m gonna hurt the girl? I’m gonna hurt the little boy who’s very close with the girl.”

The others glanced at each other with confusion.

“The boy?”

One of them figured out whom he was talking about before the others did. “Oh, you’re talking about the boy who was used by his father and got abandoned, right? The boy’s mother has been quite mysterious though. She’s been managing the farm.”

“Yes, him. I know about the kid. His mother often takes him to the farm. Somehow, she has taught the kid well. The boy never talks to anyone about the farm,” said the man grumpily.

He tried to learn some about the farm from the kid, but the latter never mentioned a word about it to the people he wasn’t familiar with.

He failed to get close to the kid and dig information out of him, but he had heard things about the boy. He spent a while observing the other and found that the boy never talked to people about the farm. If someone asked him about it, he would shake his head silently or tell the person that his mother forbade him from talking about it.

“Oh, I know about the boy that you’re talking about. But, I don’t think it’s easy to get the boy. He’s either been with his mother or with the girl from Lin Family,” said another man.

“Xie Dong hasn’t been in the base recently. The boy spends time either in the farm or with the girl lately, who has quite some guards. Will your plan work?” Lu Meiqing joined the conversation, sounding disapproving.

“Those guards are for the girl only, and they barely keep an eye on the boy. The boy isn’t under as strict protection as the girl. So, it’ll work as long as we don’t touch the girl,” said the man.

The others glanced at each other and then fell into silence.

…

The next day, Du Yuanxing and Chen Yuting were both sitting on the couch in Lin Feng’s office, looking at the other sitting behind his desk.

“Are you sure it’s these people?” Lin Feng read the name list provided by the two and confirmed it with them.

Du Yuanxing nodded in response, “Lu Meiqing met these people last night. We dug into their backgrounds and found out that they’ve indeed been taking some secret actions all the time.”

Chen Yuting added, “They’ve been keeping their actions highly secret, and they’re all alert. We wouldn’t have found out what they’ve been doing if we didn’t find out that Lu Meiqing is a mole.”

Lin Feng looked at Chen Yuting and asked, “You found so many of them in just one night? Have you brought them all under control?”

He was a little worried that the two might have acted too rashly and alerted the rest of the enemies.

“No. They haven’t realized that we know yet,” Du Yuanxing shook his head and then said, “Someone delivered the message to us.”

“Someone delivered the message to you?” Lin Feng looked at him with surprise.

Chen Yuting nodded and responded, “Yes, someone secretly delivered a message to us. I guess that person is one of them.”

“Who is it?” Lin Feng’s face, which wore a serious expression all day, showed a look of surprise at that moment.

“We don’t know. But last night, we’ve confirmed that all the information the person provided is authentic,” said Du Yuanxing.

Lin Feng silently read the name list again.

At that time, Li Zheng ran over and said to the three in the office, “That person just sent us another message. Those people have made Tongtong a target. They plan to attack Tongtong to injure him severely, so Lin Hao would have to perform an operation on him. They want Lin Hao’s keys.”
