Chen Feng was greatly alarmed.
It wasn't the poisoning that shocked him. His mastery of traditional Chinese medicine was so profound that he could easily neutralize any poison without making a fuss.
What shocked him was that he had been poisoned in a six-star hotel in the capital, a place with extremely stringent security measures.
Under such circumstances, he had still been poisoned.
And, it had happened silently and without a trace.
America was too insidious!
This was precisely the kind of thing Americans loved to do.
Americans had many ways of playing insidious games.
One, special forces, deployed via helicopter, then...
Two, using missiles.
A single missile strike could instantly obliterate the target.
Three, stealthily employing chemical agents.
...
He never expected to be targeted by America's insidious tactics today.
If his guess was correct, the reason he was targeted was related to the failed cooperation between China's DJI drone company and an American drone company.
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Feng stopped pondering.
There was nothing more to think about.
Having chosen to offend America for China, he had prepared himself for such eventualities.
What comes, comes; accept it with grace!
Without a word, Chen Feng drew his silver needles with lightning speed.
Using over a hundred silver needles, Chen Feng finally managed to expel the chemical agent planted by the Americans from his body.
He had to admit, the agent deployed by the Americans was truly potent.
Even someone as skilled in traditional Chinese medicine as him required over a hundred silver needles to clear the poison from his system.
No wonder so many important foreigners had previously died from American chemical agents.
After clearing the poison from his body, Chen Feng did not rush to find Hong Yifeng, the manager of DJI.
He had a more important matter to attend to.
This matter was none other than an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
China was not like other countries.
America could not simply do as it pleased.
It was an impossible notion!
He had to make the Americans understand.
China was not a pushover.
Only then would America not dare to act with impunity towards China in the future.
After a moment's thought, Chen Feng took a flight directly to America.
His target: to assassinate an American expert in chip technology.
Originally, with Chen Feng's intelligence, his clandestine methods in traditional Chinese medicine, and China's transmitted martial arts, he could have assassinated the American chip expert.
However, Chen Feng remembered Wang Jianshan's words.
Relationships between countries were far more complex than power dynamics within a nation.
To put it plainly, relations between countries were delicate and dangerous.
A slight misstep could trigger international upheaval.
For instance, a few years ago, a minor translation error had nearly led to war between two nations.
By coming here this time, if he merely killed an insignificant expert's assistant, the matter would pass quietly and without a ripple, yet it would serve as a significant warning.
However, if he killed a top American chip expert, it would inevitably incite immense anger from the Americans.
If the Americans were merely angry at Chen Feng himself, he would not fear it; death was a possibility.
But he feared the Americans escalating their anger towards China.
In that scenario, the superficial peace between China and America would crumble.
Once the superficial peace between China and America could no longer be maintained, it would be extremely detrimental to China.
The reason was simple: China's national strength was not yet sufficient to openly confront the Americans.
Upon arriving in America, Chen Feng did not rush to act.
Killing someone in America was not a simple task.
Firstly, America had a widespread problem with firearms, and everyone possessed them...
It was unrealistic to simply kill someone, as the target of assassination would also be armed...
If shots were exchanged, it was uncertain who would survive.
Secondly, Chinese people in America were easily noticeable.
In America, immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries were at the very bottom of society.
Their lives were even more difficult than those of Africans and Indians.
This was not due to population size.
In reality, the number of Chinese people and people from surrounding Chinese countries was not small, nearly ten million.
For such a vast group, why did they have no power and were everywhere unwelcome?
There were two reasons:
One, these people were not at all united in a foreign land.
Two, they enjoyed backstabbing each other.
Therefore, in foreign lands, while these people were bullied by people of other complexions, they were most fiercely bullied by their own compatriots.
Compatriots bullying compatriots not only sought financial gain but also caused harm to life.
Strangely, despite the oppressive experiences of Chinese people in America, many Chinese people still flocked to immigrate to America every year, scrambling to get in.
One could only say, impressive.
It was precisely because of this that Chinese people walking on the street easily drew attention.
Under these circumstances, the possibility of assassinating an American was very low.
Therefore, this time, when coming to America to assassinate an expert's assistant, extreme caution was necessary.
Otherwise, it was highly probable that he would fail to assassinate the assistant and be killed himself.
After a brief consideration, Chen Feng rented a hotel room.
After staying at the hotel for a week, Chen Feng devised an excellent method to assassinate the American expert's assistant, William.
America was a country that greatly admired freedom, and thus, Americans engaged in a wide variety of activities.
Unlike Chinese people, who were greatly influenced by traditional Chinese culture, even if they deeply desired to do something, they dared not do it openly and had to suppress it in their hearts.
For instance, Chinese men, it could be said, all men enjoyed living off wealthy women.
However, not a single man dared to openly declare to others, "I like rich women, I like to make money while lying down."
Instead, they would always put on a serious face and tell lies, "I don't like to freeload; I prefer to work diligently for a few thousand yuan a month to live as a true man."
Even they themselves did not believe these words.
Yet, Chinese men were like this.
Or rather, Chinese women were also like this.
Constrained by traditional Chinese culture, they dared not openly express their true inner thoughts.
For example, during blind dates, a woman's first words would undoubtedly be, "I am not materialistic; I don't care about your wealth. I only care if you treat me well."
However, upon hearing that you didn't even own a house, she would cheerfully say, "You are a good person, but we are not compatible."
Americans were different; Americans cherished freedom and did as they pleased.
For instance, William, the target of this assassination, had a peculiar hobby...
