Chapter 1336 - 1340: Strange Activity

Because of his high position, Cao Tiannan’s thoughts are destined not to be as simple as Lin Feng’s. However, he possesses an extraordinary psychological resilience, so despite the inner conflict, he quickly adjusted himself.

"Oh well, they say when a ship reaches a bridge, it naturally goes straight. Given the situation, I won’t overthink this!" Cao Tiannan looked at Lin Feng and said seriously, "In short, since I’m commanding here today, nothing must happen to Old Su!"

"Yes!" Lin Feng gave Cao Tiannan a thumbs up, "Mayor Cao, you’ve finally cleared your mind... Now, it’s no longer a question of whether you want to help Old Su; you must do it, there’s no choice!"

"Get lost, when did it become your turn, kid, to lecture me?" Cao Tiannan smiled and scolded bitterly.

"Heh heh..." Lin Feng only chuckled and didn’t say anything more.

When the command vehicle carrying Lin Feng and Cao Tiannan returned to the vicinity of the Retired Cadres Sanatorium, it was past five in the afternoon. After eating some dry food and bottled water directly in the car, they each took up their duties and began working... Neither Lin Feng nor Cao Tiannan dared drink much water because there was no restroom in the car, and they couldn’t leave to relieve themselves, so they had to control their fluid intake.

After eating, Cao Tiannan used the car’s radio to contact many personnel scattered at various planned locations. After confirming that all were in position, he quietly waited for nightfall.

During this time, Lin Feng communicated extensively with Xiang Wang, urging him to concentrate and use all means to monitor any movements around the Veterans’ Sanatorium and maintain open lines of communication.

As it grew darker, Lin Feng didn’t keep his nerves taut but rather reclined in his chair, half-closing his eyes, waiting for feedback from Xiang Wang and other police forces... This wasn’t negligence on Lin Feng’s part; he knew that whatever bad deeds those people wanted to commit, it was unlikely they’d act in the early hours of the night.

Sure enough, until midnight, both Xiang Wang and Cao Tiannan’s personnel stationed at various corners reported via radio that everything was normal.

Cao Tiannan already showed a hint of fatigue on his face. Normally, in his position, he seldom worked overnight jobs, but who made Su Zhenxian trust him more, thus assigning him this heavy responsibility!

"Mayor Cao, take a break..." Lin Feng smiled and pointed to Cao Tiannan’s recliner, saying lightly, "You can lean back and rest your eyes, while I watch over things; I’ll call you if something comes up!"

"No... if I lie down, I definitely won’t be able to get up!" Cao Tiannan smiled wryly at Lin Feng and shook his head, "You’re not familiar with my arrangements, I can’t leave this to you!"

"Can you still hold on?" Lin Feng looked at Cao Tiannan with a bit of surprise.

"Of course I can!" Cao Tiannan nodded seriously and replied.

"Alright then..." Lin Feng nodded, not insisting. At this moment, he suddenly heard Xiang Wang’s somewhat unexpected voice in his earpiece:

"Boss, there’s movement... yet the situation is a bit strange!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Feng frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Ten kilometers southwest, a helicopter is flying towards you at two hundred kilometers per hour. I don’t know if they have any intention..." Xiang Wang was a bit puzzled.

"Helicopter? Military or civilian?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

"It’s Wu Zhen!" Xiang Wang said in a deep voice.

Lin Feng frowned; in the dead of night, could it really be a coincidence that there’s a drill nearby?

"Maintain surveillance, report any other changes to me!" Lin Feng instructed Xiang Wang in a low voice.

"Got it, boss!" Xiang Wang responded with a serious tone.

"This situation seems off, how come a military helicopter appears at this hour? And why is it all alone?" Cao Tiannan’s face showed some tension as he looked at Lin Feng, "That plane must be suspicious!"

"Yes, I think so too, but it’s still uncertain what’s wrong!" Lin Feng shook his head, waiting for Xiang Wang’s next reply.

Not long after, Xiang Wang’s voice sounded again.

"Boss, that helicopter circled twice about two kilometers away from your position and then flew back... it seems, it seems like there’s no problem!"

Xi Wang’s voice was filled with doubt and self-blame.

"It actually flew back?" Lin Feng squinted his eyes, looking westward through the car window, where there was conveniently a Deep Forest Park with several not-so-short hills, and between the sanatorium and those hills, there happened to be no high-rise buildings!

Two kilometers, a high point, a good view!

Instantly, Lin Feng’s face changed, and he thought of two words... sniper!

For ordinary people, at night, sniping across two kilometers is extremely difficult; for average snipers, even in broad daylight, it’s hard to accurately aim beyond eight hundred meters... However, Lin Feng knew that a sniper skilled in Inner Strength, with the right equipment, high-sensitivity night vision, and a calculation device, could easily target a two-kilometer distant target even at night!

Instantly, Lin Feng’s skin tightened with tension; he commanded Xiang Wang to search the area where the helicopter circled for any signs of human presence, while he got out of the car, ready to head towards that forest park on foot!

"Lin Feng, where are you suddenly going?" Cao Tiannan didn’t know what Lin Feng suddenly intended, and instinctively asked.

"I’m going to the forest park..." after a moment’s thought, Lin Feng decided to share his suspicions with Cao Tiannan, "I suspect there’s a sniper deployed there!"

"What?" Cao Tiannan was stunned and looked at the dark night, finding it hard to believe Lin Feng’s words, "In the middle of the night, with the forest park two to three kilometers away, can there be a sniper posing a threat to Old Su?!"

"Better safe than sorry!" Lin Feng nodded, "I need you to handle things here, I’m heading over now!"

Then, without waiting for Cao Tiannan’s reply, Lin Feng jumped out of the car, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Cao Tiannan mouthed a word; he vaguely felt Lin Feng’s actions were too impulsive, but Lin Feng wasn’t his subordinate, so he said nothing and simply ordered the units to remain vigilant.

Amid the night, Lin Feng’s silhouette sped swiftly; amidst the howling wind, he found time to call Lu Lu, reminding her of the possible presence of a sniper.

In a mere five minutes, Lin Feng’s figure traversed two kilometers, quickly reaching the place called Beishan Forest Park... The night was quiet, and Lin Feng couldn’t sense any oddity, yet just when he thought there was nothing amiss, he suddenly saw a hill ahead, with a slight flash of green light midway up!
