Chapter 1065 Different Coffee
The content of the call was very simple. The target of the Twelve Zodiac Signs' trip died mysteriously, and this time, the Twelve Zodiac Signs came back empty-handed.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Feng quietly exerted force on the hand holding the phone, almost deforming it.
"Okay, I get it. Hurry back! I have a feeling something big is going to happen!"
Lu Feng spoke in a deep voice, his tone full of solemnity that he couldn't conceal.
This time the opponent was more cunning than ever before. He actually killed the target first, causing him to lose the direction of the investigation.
"No matter who you are, come at me! If you try to stop me, Lu Feng, from accomplishing what I want, you will have to pay the price!"
The cold voice echoed in the office, hiding Lu Feng's extremely determined heart.
........
A week later, during this week, Lu Feng encountered no less than fifteen assassination attempts.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan always gave him advance warnings, which enabled him to survive the dangerous situations.
But even so, he was still very cautious and reduced going out, going between the manor and the company every day.
Inside the office of the chairman of Huayu Group.
Lu Feng frowned. In his hand was all the information that the assassins had given over the past week, including who hired them.
However, every time he sent out the Twelve Zodiac Animals to obtain information and kill the family, it was like hitting cotton. The target always disappeared one step ahead, as if evaporating from the face of the earth.
Lu Feng was very angry because of his repeated failures.
"Watertight...so impressive!" Lu Feng muttered to himself, his eyes sharp as an eagle as he repeatedly examined the report. "Who was it? What method did they use?"
This kind of threat that follows you everywhere but you can't do anything about it is more annoying than a head-on confrontation.
The other party is in the dark, while he is in the light, and the initiative seems to be firmly in the hands of the enemy.
"Boom boom boom——"
A quick knock on the door broke the silence in the office.
"Come in." Lu Feng retracted the sharpness in his eyes and his voice returned to its usual calmness.
The door was gently pushed open, and Li Wei, the administrative secretary specially arranged for Gao Xiaofeng, walked in holding an exquisite bone china cup.
Her steps were steady, but upon closer inspection, the knuckles of her fingers holding the tray were slightly white, and her fingertips were pressing hard on the edge of the cup holder.
She lowered her eyes, deliberately avoiding Lu Feng's direction. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, and her breathing seemed to be slightly faster than usual.
"Mr. Lu, your coffee."
Li Wei's voice tried to maintain its usual gentleness, but with a barely perceptible sense of tension.
She walked to the large desk and carefully placed the coffee cup not far from Lu Feng's hand, her movements seeming a little stiff.
Just as she put down the cup, Lu Feng's eyes inadvertently swept across her face.
He saw a layer of fine beads of sweat on Li Wei's forehead. The temperature in the office was just right, but this was obviously not normal.
Deep in Lu Feng's eyes, an extremely complex light of scrutiny and understanding flashed across his face.
"Thank you." Lu Feng said in a calm tone.
"This is what I should do. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief as if she had completed some difficult task. She immediately turned around and prepared to leave, her steps seeming a little hurried.
"Wait." Lu Feng suddenly called him.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei's body suddenly stiffened, as if she was cast under a spell, and stopped in place instantly.
She turned around very slowly, forcing a professional, yet extremely stiff smile on her face:
"Mr. Lu, do you have any other instructions?"
Lu Feng looked at her, a faint, even gentle smile appeared on his face:
"Nothing serious. I just suddenly don't feel like drinking coffee. Could you please make me a pot of tea? Longjing tea will do."
"Okay! Director Lu! I'll be there right away!"
Li Wei seemed to have received a special pardon, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and her forced calmness almost collapsed. She quickly responded and reached out to pick up the cup of coffee that had just been put down.
"Don't take it away," Lu Feng's voice sounded again, with an unquestionable tone, "It would be a waste if you pour it out. Drink this cup."
"boom!"
These words rang out like thunder in Li Wei's ears! Her hand, which was reaching for the coffee cup, froze in mid-air, and her face turned pale as paper, completely devoid of blood.
Her pupils suddenly contracted, filled with unspeakable fear, and her body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
"Lu... Mr. Lu..." Her voice was shaking, almost crying, "How... How can I... drink coffee in front of you? This... This is so disrespectful to you! I... I'll take it away and drink it. Yes, I'll take it away..."
She spoke incoherently, as if she had grasped at the last straw, and reached out for the cup again in a panic, wanting to escape from this suffocating place immediately.
However, before her fingertips touched the cup handle, the office door slid open silently.
A tall, stern figure like an iron tower blocked the door, like an insurmountable wall.
The person who came was Nie Zhan. He had an expressionless face and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. He immediately locked onto Li Wei, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her soul.
Li Wei was frightened by this sudden obstruction. Her hands holding the tray trembled violently, and the coffee in the cup shook violently, almost spilling out.
She looked at Nie Zhan in horror, her eyes full of fear.
At this moment, Lu Feng's voice came from behind her. It was calm without a ripple, yet contained a chilling power:
"Li Wei, tell me, why did you poison me?"
"Bang!"
After saying this, Li Wei could no longer hold on, and the tray in her hand, along with the deadly cup of coffee, fell to the carpet with a dull sound.
The brown liquid instantly stained the expensive carpet.
She felt as if all the bones had been pulled out of her. Her legs went limp and she collapsed to her knees on the ground, shaking like a leaf in the wind.
"No...no! Mr. Lu! I didn't! How could I possibly harm you!"
She raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and screamed in defense with a hoarse voice, but her fear and guilt were obvious.
Lu Feng stood up, slowly walked around the desk, and came to Li Wei who was slumped on the ground. He looked down at her, with no anger in his eyes, only a deep, compassionate scrutiny.
"If you don't," his voice remained calm, "then prove it to me. Pick up that cup of coffee and drink it."
"If you're fine after drinking, then I wronged you. I, Lu Feng, will compensate you 10 million and publicly apologize to you."
