“Since it’s an invitation from Mr. Andy, I must certainly attend,” Luo Feng said with a smile. However, Andy looked at Luo Feng and scoffed disdainfully.

In Andy’s eyes, Luo Feng was overly confident and naive.

At the end of the day, businessmen always like to play their cunning tricks, thinking that everyone will adhere to a certain code of conduct and not overstep their boundaries.

But Andy wasn’t a businessman; he belonged to the underworld. If anyone offended him, he wouldn’t care about any codes or traditions.

“Very well,” Andy said. “If you’re so confident, then let’s meet tomorrow afternoon. We can discuss this business deal in detail.”

Having said that, Andy left. His henchmen, who had been lying on the ground, scrambled to their feet and departed quickly.

Watching their retreating figures, Luo Feng felt a sense of helplessness. Although confident in his abilities, Luo Feng knew they would likely set a trap for him.

He would have to tread carefully. One misstep, and everything could go wrong.

Andy set their meeting for 3 0’clock the next afternoon. It gave him ample time to set up the ambush, and Luo Feng the time he needed to prepare.

Luo Feng didn’t have much to prepare for. After some thought, he decided to purchase a couple of handy weapons.

Not long after he left, Luo Feng stumbled upon a weapon shop. The shop owner was a burly man with bare arms, reminding Luo Feng of a butcher from the outskirts of Beijing.

Just as Luo Feng was about to enter the shop, a young girl bumped into him. She appeared to be in her early teens and was running hurriedly in his direction, likely the reason she hadn’t seen him.

“Are you alright, young lady?” Luo Feng asked.

But the girl pushed Luo Feng aside without a word and continued running.

Though curious, Luo Feng didn’t pursue the matter. However, shortly after the girl’s departure, a group of men dressed in black arrived, looking for her.

They glanced around without spotting their target and then approached Luo Feng, demanding, “Hey, did you see a young girl run past here?”

Their aggressive demeanor irked Luo Feng, but he didn’t want to get involved. Pointing in the opposite direction from where the girl had run, he said, “I did see a young girl about that age head that way.”

Hearing this, the men hurried off in pursuit.

With the situation diffused, Luo Feng entered the weapon shop. The shop owner was quite affable and struck up a conversation with him. “Sir, what kind of weapon are you looking to purchase?” Luo Feng remained silent, simply looking around.

Having dealt with many customers, the shop owner sensed Luo Feng’s intentions, “Sir, we have a range of excellent weapons here. Would you like a recommendation?”

Luo Feng nodded.

The shop owner led Luo Feng to a specific shelf and handed him a handgun. “This weapon is lightweight and compact, yet powerful. It has an effective range of 200 meters. It’s perfect for personal safety during travels.”

Luo Feng weighed the handgun in his hand. It was indeed a fine piece. “You seem to be purchasing this for self-defense?” the shop owner inquired. Luo Feng, who had been silent until now, replied, “It’s always good to be prepared.”

The shop owner chuckled, “Indeed, indeed. In these turbulent times, everyone has enemies. If they decided to act, it’s best to have something for protection.” He then added, “But, sir, you don’t seem to be a local. How did you manage to offend someone here?”

Luo Feng remained silent, causing the shop owner to quickly add, “Don’t worry, sir. I’m not prying, just making conversation.”

Luo Feng had a growing suspicion about the shop owner’s intentions. Though he initially seemed friendly, there was something off about him.

After selecting his weapon and paying for it, Luo Feng promptly left the store.

Shortly after, the shop owner, as if recalling something important, hastily dialed a number.

“Mr. Andy,” he began, “I think I just saw that Luo Feng fellow you mentioned..”
