Chapter 2180: Secret Revealed
Zhao Hai seemed to be stunned, but he continued to stand in front of Lin Feng’s door and said, “I’ve disturbed Senior Brother, please have a good rest.” After speaking, Zhao Hai sighed and then continued to stand for a while before turning around and leaving.
But nobody thought that after Zhao Hai sighed, he immediately used sound transmission to talk to Ling Feng, “Senior Brother Ling, I found something wrong with Senior Brother Fatty. I advise you to be careful.” After saying that, Zhao Hai left. For the others it looked as if Zhao Hai hesitated in front of Ling Feng’s door before leaving disappointed.
The words Zhao Hai spoke naturally fell into Ling Feng’s ears. Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Ling Feng couldn’t help but stare. Then hearing Zhao Hai’s fainting footsteps, Ling Feng frowned.
Ling Feng hasn’t forgotten Zhong Busan’s advice to pay attention to Zhao Hai. Now that Zhao Hai reminded him that Fatty was suspicious, Ling Feng was a bit on a bind. He couldn’t figure out whether Zhao Hai was telling the truth or not.
If Zhao Hai was telling the truth and Fatty truly has some issues, then Ling Feng needed to pay attention. Moreover, this would also prove Zhao Hai’s loyalty to the Ghost Child Gang.
If Zhao Hai was lying, then this meant that he wanted to throw Ling Feng’s mind into chaos. He would be preoccupied with Fatty to pay attention to Zhao Hai.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but frown even more. He couldn’t understand where Zhao Hai was going with his message. After some time, Ling Feng stood up and called the Eight Steeds.
The Eight Steeds were like Ling Feng. They also received the same order to pay attention to Zhao Hai. It was precisely because of this that Ling Feng went to them.
Before long, nine people sat inside Ling Feng’s room. Ling Feng looked at the others and said, “Zhao Ling just looked for me. Did you know?”
The other eight nodded. Their eyes also flashed a disdainful expression. Ling Feng looked at everyone and said, “Zhao Ling’s reason for approaching me was fake. He came to send me a message. He said that the fatty is suspicious and wants us to pay attention to him. What do you think about this matter?”
The Eight Steeds stared. Then one of them opened their mouth and said, “That’s impossible. Fatty hasn’t been in the gang for a day or two. The gang didn’t discover anything wrong with him all this time. How could Zhao Ling see something wrong with him? Senior Brother, I think Zhao Ling has intentions in doing this.”
Ling Feng nodded and said, “That is possible. Zhao Ling might want us to focus on the fatty. But it doesn’t rule out another possibility in which the fatty is indeed problematic. He might just be good at hiding his flaws. I don’t think we should trust both of them. Have three people focus on the fatty while the rest monitor Zhao Hai.”
The others complied. Ling Feng added, “This matter is very important. You need to be careful. No matter what the final result is, I’m sure there is a spy between Zhao Ling and Fatty. As long as we find this spy, we’ll win. Do you understand?”
The others nodded. Then Ling Feng said, “We just left the city, but we’re already in this state. But this is also good. At least one of the two fellows have made their move. We’re now waiting for the enemy to show their hand. From our point of view, the other party is already aware of our identity. If they make a move, they will certainly send a proper enemy. We need to be more careful.”
The expressions of the Eight Steeds immediately turned serious as they nodded. Ling Feng waved his hand and said, “Alright, you can go back and prepare.” The Eight Steeds complied and then left the room.
After the Eight Steeds left, he took out a jade slip and then placed his message inside before sending it through a small transmission formation.
The small transmission formation that Ling Feng took out was handed to him by Zhong Busan. Zhong Busan told him to message him immediately if there were any developments to the situation. Ling Feng didn’t expect to use the formation this soon.
After Ling Feng sent the jade slip, he stored the transmission formation. He knows that the Gang Leader wouldn’t give him any instructions for now.
The night passed silently. The next morning, everyone had their breakfast before hurrying along. This time, everyone looked at Zhao Hai differently. Even the Fatty was the same. He looked at Zhao Hai with a trace of contempt.
Zhao Hai acted like a child that did something wrong. He held his head down as he followed behind the carriage. If he hadn’t known about what Zhao Hai did yesterday, Ling Feng might have been deceived by Zhao Hai’s performance. As Zhao Hai became more and more behaved, Ling Feng no longer underestimated him. This was because Zhao Hai’s acting was too good.
The group rested during noon. Zhao Hai took his bowl and ate his meal alone. Seeing Zhao Hai’s performance, Ling Feng’s suspicion of him decreased a lot.
Ling Feng was born in the dark part of the Ghost Child Gang. He used to work as a spy. Even now, besides the Ghost Child Gang, only a few people knew him.
For a spy, the less people who know you, the better. The best was for your face to be easily forgettable. Qualified spies looked like ordinary people.
Zhao Hai’s actions didn’t seem to be actions of a spy. He was too noticeable. Moreover, he separated from everyone, drawing a line between himself and the others. This would attract more attention to him. Instead, Ling Feng was drawn to the fatty’s reaction. The fatty acted like nobody was no longer looking at him.
Thinking about this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but stare. He suddenly thought about something. They were too focused on Zhao Hai to pay attention to the fatty.
Ling Feng was shocked, he couldn’t help but pay attention to the fatty using his peripheral vision. He discovered a flash of light appearing in the fatty’s eyes. Ling Feng immediately discovered his mistake. He was paying too much attention to Zhao Hai. This meant that he was ignoring the other person.
Ling Feng turned to the Eight Steeds and sure enough, they were focused on Zhao Hai. Only a few of them were looking at Fatty from time to time. Ling Feng couldn’t help but be alerted. He was afraid that if the fatty was really a spy, then they were giving him an opportunity to act. The fatty could give his partners information during this lapse in attention.
As Ling Feng was contemplating these, another carriage arrived on the road. There were two red goblins on the carriage. The carriage looked beautiful. One could see its use at first sight.
The carriage stopped at the shop. Then the two red goblins jumped out from their position and said to the carriage door, “Master, there’s a small shop here. Does Master want to eat?”
From the carriage, a low voice replied, “Alright. Let’s rest here. Find a good place for me.” The red goblin complied and then entered the shop. They arranged a table for their master before heading out and inviting the Master in.
Ling Feng and the others looked at the other party, disdain couldn’t help but flash through their gaze. In the underground world, both mortals and cultivators raise red goblins as slaves. However, gang disciples and sect disciples wouldn’t bring red goblins with them when they travel. Only Rogue Cultivators would do that.
After they glanced at the man, Lin Feng and the others no longer cared about him. The Rogue Cultivators also glanced at Lin Feng and the others. As soon as they saw the clothes that Lin Feng and the others wore, he immediately behaved himself. He walked towards the table that the red goblin prepared and then sat down.
As soon as Lin Feng saw the person’s conduct, he stopped paying attention to him. As he continued to eat and drink, Zhao Hai’s voice suddenly appeared in his ears, “Senior Brother Ling, pay attention to the Fatty and that Rogue Cultivator’s hand.” While Zhao Hai was saying this, he was still on his lone table, his back facing away from Lin Feng.
Hearing Zhao Hai, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed. He used his peripheral vision to look at Fatty and the Rogue Cultivator’s hands. Before long, he discovered Fatty’s fingers doing certain movements. The Rogue Cultivator was doing the same.
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed a cold light. This was because he discovered that their finger movements weren’t random. They seem to be transmitting information using this method.
Lin Feng was now certain that Zhao Hai was telling the truth. Fatty was a problem. However, Lin Feng didn’t make any noise. He put his chopsticks down after taking a few bites. The Eight Steeds did the same.
Seeing that Lin Feng and the others were finished eating, the fatty also put his chopsticks down. However, he kept a greedy look on the food on the table. One couldn’t tell if he was a spy or not.
Looking at the fatty’s expression, Lin Feng couldn’t help but get angrier. However, he didn’t display his emotion on his face. He looked at the others and said, “Is everyone done eating? If so, then let’s leave.” The other complied and then followed Lin Feng outside.
Zhao Hai continued to follow the group with a lowered head. At this time, Lin Feng’s voice was heard in his ear, “Do your thing. Don’t care about the others.”
Zhao Hai still had his head lowered, as if he didn’t hear anything. Zhao Hai continued to follow the carriage before slowly becoming unnoticeable. However, Lin Feng knew that the team’s actions couldn’t escape from Zhao Hai’s eyes. Now, Lin Feng began to understand Zhao Hai less and less.
