Chapter 639: The Trap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After receiving Luo Feng’s instructions, Jardins promptly left, leaving Luo Feng alone in the room to ponder his next moves.
The identities and intentions of those in question remained a mystery, warranting a cautious approach.
After a considerable amount of time spent setting up the room, Luo Feng finally wiped the sweat beads from his brow.
Soon after, Jardins returned.
“What’s your plan with this suitcase?” she asked, but Luo Feng offered no response.
Though Luo Feng remained silent, Jardins was far from naive. After a moment of thought, she began to understand the situation.
“Are you implying that someone has their eye on you?” she asked. Instead of a direct answer, Luo Feng chuckled, “You’re quite perceptive.”
Indeed, it would be odd if the Sheep Head, a treasure of such rarity, did not draw attention.
“If you’re concerned about this object drawing attention, why would you bring it back to the hotel? The security here leaves much to be desired,” Jardins voiced her doubts. Luo Feng, however, kept his thoughts to himself and asked: “Do you plan on shadowing me indefinitely? Isn’t it time you took care of your own affairs?”
Luo Feng posed this question to Jardins.
How could Jardins not understand that Luo Feng was suggesting she leave?
But having come this far with Luo Feng, she wasn’t about to leave so easily.
“Where would I go? You saw my altercation with my father. We’re on bad terms, and I’m now homeless. Don’t you pity me? Won’t you help?”
Jardins appeared pitiful, but Luo Feng knew better. She was putting on a show.
Even though she didn’t appear to harbor ill intentions, she was sly. Blind trust in her could lead to trouble.
Luo Feng realized that getting her to leave would not be a simple task.
“Then I’ll arrange another room for you.”
Following this, Luo Feng dialed the front desk, and a new room was promptly prepared. Shortly thereafter, a hotel staff member appeared at Luo Feng’s door. “Mr. Luo, your new room is ready. However, we need some identification.”
Luo Feng promptly ushered Jardins out to register.
Before long, the front desk staff returned to Luo Feng’s door.
“Sir, I regret to inform you that the young lady was uncooperative and refused to provide identification.”
The front desk staff appeared embarrassed, then continued:
“Furthermore, after a dispute with us, a group of bodyguards suddenly stormed in and whisked her away. We’ve notified the police, but they’re likely long gone by now.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was visibly shocked.
He hadn’t expected such brazen behavior in broad daylight.
“Which direction did they go?”
“They headed east upon leaving, but I’m afraid I don’t know their exact destination.”
After hearing this, Luo Feng wasted no time and immediately prepared to depart.
Although Luo Feng left his room unlocked, the front desk staff, after confirming his departure, retrieved a spare key.
“Hmph, I thought this kid would be more challenging. It seems I overestimated
With that, he unlocked Luo Feng’s door and stepped inside.
Once inside, he shed his uniform, revealing casual clothes underneath.
He had initially come here on a whim to test Luo Feng’s vigilance, but it appeared he had overthought the challenge.
He searched the room and quickly found Luo Feng’s suitcase.
“This is easy!”
As he hoisted the suitcase and readied himself to leave, he heard footsteps outside the door.
“Damn, has he returned?”
In a hurry, he rushed to the window, intending to make a swift exit to the adjacent room.
However, upon reaching the window, he discovered it had been reinforced and was immovable.
“Damn it! I’ve walked into a trap!”
By then, it was too late to rectify the situation.
He tried to shatter the glass and escape, but the hotel windows were custom-made and resistant to breakage.
Luo Feng didn’t give him much time to ponder, entering the room as soon as he pushed the door open.
“Did you really think you could deceive me with such a simple trick?”
Luo Feng scrutinized the man before him. He could discern that this individual was likely from the capital, but he was uncertain whether he was acting on someone else’s orders or pursuing his own objectives.
“You do seem somewhat competent, but…”
The man walked to the window, hoisting the suitcase high.
As he raised his arm, a large rock abruptly flew in from outside, crashing into the window..
