Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Eyebrows and Eyes

After leaving, Bai Feifei’s brows remained furrowed, which made Ling Feng feel a pang of heartache.

"Don’t worry, we will definitely catch the killer!" Ling Feng comforted.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Bai Feifei said, "Ling Feng, I owe you a lot for what happened today. Otherwise, if anything had gone wrong, I’d have been beyond redemption! But right now, I don’t have many leads. Can you continue to help me?"

The evening party was attended by celebrities renowned worldwide; any issues could have caused an earthquake for the entire Huaxia!

Thus, Ling Feng was very aware of the burden Bai Feifei was carrying. For a 24-year-old girl, it seemed a bit too heavy.

Suddenly, Ling Feng reached out and embraced Bai Feifei, whispering in her ear, "Don’t worry, I’m here, nothing will happen today! We will definitely catch the murderer!"

Bai Feifei shuddered, then nodded gently while leaning in Ling Feng’s arms.

After letting go, Ling Feng smiled and said, "A hug of friendship. Still nervous?"

Bai Feifei took a deep breath and smiled, "Nervous about what! Evil never triumphs over good. I refuse to believe I, Bai Feifei, can’t catch a killer, what a joke!"

But what Ling Feng didn’t notice was that in the distance, Yun Hanrui had witnessed everything. Her face, which had been smiling, was now filled with icy coldness!

"I was wondering why Ling Feng hadn’t returned; it turns out he’s here flirting with a girl! How despicable!" Yun Hanrui felt inexplicably agitated.

Although she didn’t have any real relationship with him, why did it feel so uncomfortable to see Ling Feng holding that female police officer?

But... that police officer looks so familiar, as if I’ve seen her somewhere before? When Yun Hanrui looked up again, Ling Feng and Bai Feifei had already disappeared.

"You go check first, I’ve got something to handle!" Ling Feng patted Bai Feifei’s shoulder and said.

Turning around a corner, Ling Feng arrived at a secluded spot, took out his phone, and after hesitating for a moment, dialed a number.

"Aiven, it’s me, Asura!"

"Big Brother, is that really you? You suddenly came back to the country and didn’t even say goodbye to us, everyone misses you!" came a cheerful voice from the other end of the phone.

Speaking in German, Ling Feng said, "Aiven, I’m calling you because there’s something I need you guys to check out."

"Big Brother, what is it?"

"I want to know which powers in the Underworld have recently taken on a mission to Huaxia."

"To Huaxia? Big Brother, as you know, Huaxia is one of the forbidden territories for our Underworld. I doubt any organization is foolish enough to take on a mission there! Unless it’s one of those super organizations."

Ling Feng said in a heavy voice, "Those organizations wouldn’t come to Huaxia for no special reason, especially with Dragon Group and the Dragon King around. By the way, have there been any urgent bounties lately?"

"Oh, elder brother, now that you mention it, I do remember something. Recently, the Underworld issued a bounty: the Freedom Organization is offering 50 million US dollars for the assassination of the American singer Steffen Keller. Because Keller had been persecuted by the Freedom Organization, leading to the organization becoming a prime target for US crackdowns, the Freedom Organization, in a fit of rage, issued the 50 million dollar bounty."

"50 million dollars for a singer?" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh. "It seems the Freedom Organization really is rich! By the way, did the bounty specify anything else?"

Aiven replied, "The bounty was claimed by an anonymous organization, but Keller has been under the protection of the US military, so the anonymous organization hasn’t succeeded. There are only three days left until the final deadline. It’s said that Keller will be coming to Huaxia soon, and I’m wondering if that anonymous organization might head to Huaxia too."

"Keller is coming to Huaxia?" Ling Feng stirred slightly. "Alright, Aiven, I’ve got it! I’ve got some things to take care of, so I’m going to hang up now!"

"Wait, elder brother!" Aiven hastily said, "Do you... do you have anything to say to Catherine?"

Ling Feng’s grip tightened. Catherine, the name he tried to forget, surfaced before him once again after Aiven brought it up.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ling Feng indifferently said, "It’s all in the past. There’s an insurmountable gulf between us... It’s really impossible for us now. It’s better to cherish the memory than meet again. I’d rather not disturb her!"

After hanging up, Ling Feng leaned against the wall.

Catherine, she was the first and the only woman in Ling Feng’s life so far!

She was the daughter of a Divine Gate instructor, and the capable assistant to the Mad Doctor! She was one of the two famous roses in the Underworld, as well as a super-genius with an IQ of 200!

Once, Ling Feng thought he only saw her as an outlet for his desires and a means for revenge against Divine Gate, but half a year ago, in his quest for vengeance, he battled the Divine Gate instructor, killed the Mad Doctor, and destroyed Divine Gate!

However, after taking his revenge, he found himself unable to meet Catherine’s gaze. After all, it was him who killed Catherine’s father and mentor! Even though Catherine never blamed or cursed him, Ling Feng couldn’t step over that barrier inside him!

On the other side of the Earth, after hanging up, Aiven turned to a sexy, tall blonde with blue eyes and said, "Elder brother... he said he cares a lot about you!"

Despite being sexy and alluring, the blonde showed a cold expression: "Aiven, you don’t need to make excuses for him! I know exactly what kind of person Asura is. If he really could face me, he wouldn’t have left without saying goodbye."

"Catherine, I think elder brother has his difficulties!" Aiven said cautiously.

Catherine looked into the distance: "Asura, don’t forget! Before my father died, you promised him that you would take good care of me. Your promise has not been fulfilled; how could I forgive you?"

Slapping his face, Ling Feng pieced everything together and realized the information Aiven gave was incredibly important!

Looking at the method by which the chef was killed, the assassin was definitely mingling in the Underworld! The only ones who would dare to enter Huaxia from the Underworld were either the extremely powerful or the desperate outlaws with nothing to lose!

"If it’s really about killing Keller, daring to risk everything for 50 million dollars indicates that this organization is really short of money. Who could it be... could it be them?" Suddenly, Ling Feng recalled the assassination at the airport!

"If it really is a Heaven’s Gate Assassin, it would make sense. With Heaven’s Gate destroyed, they would certainly need to re-establish it and require substantial funds. This would explain everything!" Ling Feng sighed in relief. Now, he just needed to confirm if this Keller was really coming to Huaxia.
