Luo Feng had just settled Jardins and Alice when his phone began to ring. Picking it up, he saw that it was a call from Charlie. This surprised him, considering Charlie should have been dealing with George at this moment—how could he have time to call?

“Hello?”

Upon answering, Luo Feng only said a single word, but no reply came from the other end. After a significant pause, Charlie’s voice finally emerged.

“It’s Charlie. Abort the operation.”

Hearing this, Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled. After all, Charlie had never discussed any specific operation with him. This sudden deviation from the norm suggested something had happened.

Luo Feng immediately sensed that something was off, although he didn’t express his concern outright. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before replying, “But Chairman, we’re on the verge of success. Isn’t it a bit premature to pull out now?”

“Did you not hear me? Call everyone back immediately!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng quickly realized that Charlie must have run into some trouble. However, since Charlie could not speak freely, Luo Feng had to deduce the situation based on this brief conversation.

After contemplating for a moment, Luo Feng asked, “Chairman, are you asking for me to return, or should everyone come back?”

“Of course everyone! I recall there were three teams that went out; call them all back, immediately!”

With that clue, Luo Feng had a better idea of what to ask next. “But Chairman, I just contacted them. One of the teams has already completed their mission.

What should we do now?”

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s question, Charlie knew that his next words would be critical for his own safety. Just as he was about to speak, George intervened, pressing him into silence. George typed something into his phone’s memo app.

Although Charlie initially had no idea how to give Luo Feng a hint without arousing suspicion, George’s typed message solved his dilemma.

“Dispatch someone to bring a car to Zone C9 right now. Don’t worry about anything else,” Charlie said, after which George promptly hung up the phone.contemporary romance

On the other end, Luo Feng was almost certain that Charlie was being coerced by George.

He then turned to Jardins and Alice, “I need to step out for a bit; wait for me here.”

Leaving the two women behind, Luo Feng drove to Zone C9. He parked the car as instructed by Charlie and left the scene. However, he didn’t go far, hiding in a nearby corner to keep an eye on the situation.

Soon enough, someone arrived to pick up the car. Luo Feng quickly hailed a taxi and followed them, easily tracking them to the exchange location.

At that moment, seeing that the car had been retrieved, Charlie couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair. Luo Feng had not shown up yet, which meant that he probablv hadn’t understood the hint. If that was the case, thev might have

to let George go today.

“Mr. Charlie, since you’ve already rescued your daughter, let’s call it a day between us. I don’t think I’ll be staying in Atlanta much longer. America is big; there are plenty of other places where I can make my mark,” George said as he got into the car, leaving Charlie alone in the truck, full of helplessness.

However, just then, George discovered that his car wouldn’t start. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly got out, intending to return to Charlie’s vehicle. But he found his path blocked by none other than Luo Feng.

Seeing Luo Feng, George knew he had been tricked. But when he saw that Luo Feng was alone, he burst into laughter.

“Do you really think you can take on over twenty of us by yourself?” George chortled.

Meanwhile, Charlie had also exited his car, feeling quite frustrated. He had thought that since Luo Feng had understood his hint, the smartest thing to do would have been to bring reinforcements to deal with George. Yet here he was, arriving solo.

Before Charlie could call for help, the door of his car was violently ripped open, and his phone was snatched away as he was pulled out.

“Charlie, I thought you were a smart man, but it seems I’ve overestimated you,” George said, walking forward. However, he had only taken a couple of steps before Luo Feng blocked his path.

“Do you really think you can manipulate me as you please?” Luo Feng said, locking eyes with George..
