After going downstairs, Lin Feng looked at Liu Mengyao sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, feeling a wave of awkwardness.
Liu Mengyao also didn't dare to look at Lin Feng. Recalling the scene that had just happened, she felt very embarrassed and scared.
Even though it wasn't the first time she had such intimate contact with Lin Feng, her heart still pounded like a deer, and she couldn't accept such excessive closeness.
What made Lin Feng depressed wasn't the frequent unintended flirtations with Liu Mengyao, but the fact that his strength was declining.
His alertness and perception were far inferior to before. He hadn't even noticed Luo Keke when she pushed the door open.
This indicated that his strength not only hadn't progressed but was continuously decreasing.
No, he had to find that jade talisman. Otherwise, if this continued, he would eventually become a cripple!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lin Feng lost his appetite.
"Miss, I'm going out to handle something. I'll be back later. You and Keke don't need to wait for me."
Lin Feng said.
"Go ahead. And while you're at it, contact your seventh brother and ask him when he can come to Qingcheng. I'm anxious to see him."
Liu Mengyao reminded him repeatedly.
"I know."
Lin Feng nodded bitterly and then grabbed his car keys to leave.
He drove straight to the Dark Group's office building.
This time, no matter what happened, he had to see the old man with the white beard.
This matter couldn't be delayed any further.
When Lin Feng arrived at the Dark Group, the lobby was bustling with activity.
Almost all the case investigators were busy dealing with the Sun family's case.
Xia Xue hadn't slept all night because of this case.
The superiors were pressing urgently, and everyone in both the Bright Group and the Dark Group was under pressure to thoroughly investigate this case.
Even Ling Feiyan had been busy for a day and a night on this case.
"Wolf Team, why are you here?"
Chu He saw Lin Feng and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I'm here to handle something. Where is your Captain Xia?"
Lin Feng asked.
"Captain Xia and Captain Yang are in a case discussion meeting. They probably don't have time to see you."
"In that case, can you help me bring someone in from the maximum-security detention room? I need to ask him something. Can you do it?"
Lin Feng asked, trying his luck.
Chu He looked a bit troubled. "Wolf Team, by rights, the interrogation of a repeat offender must be personally approved by Captain Xia. However, if you're quick and don't get caught, I can help you this once."
"Then hurry up. I just have a few words to ask him."
Lin Feng urged.
Chu He nodded, asked for the person's identity, and then went to the maximum-security detention room to bring him in.
Lin Feng waited in the interrogation room. After waiting for about a few minutes, the old man with the white beard was brought in by Chu He.
"Young friend Lin, why is it you?"
The old man with the white beard was surprised to see Lin Feng sitting in the interrogation room.
Lin Feng didn't answer, gestured for Chu He to go out, and then turned off the surveillance in the interrogation room.
He then took out the sheepskin scroll from his pocket and asked, "Sir, I've checked a lot of information about this map you gave me last time, but I haven't found the location marked on the map anywhere."
"So you're asking about this. I'm not too sure, but what I can tell you is that the location marked on the map is a dragon脉, just around Qingcheng."
The old man with the white beard told Lin Feng everything he knew.
"So, you mean as long as I find the dragon脉, all the truth will be revealed?"
Lin Feng had a general direction.
"Yes, but young man, finding the dragon脉 is only the first step. The most important thing is this jade talisman. Without the jade talisman, even if you find the dragon脉, it will be useless."
The old man with the white beard gave a bitter smile. He had searched for this unknown treasure for decades but had never found the jade talisman marked on it.
He now suspected that this jade talisman didn't exist at all, which was why he gave this cursed item to Lin Feng.
"Sir, I understand. Thank you for your reminder."
Lin Feng smiled gratefully and was about to ask Chu He to send the old man with the white beard back when he saw the interrogation room door being pushed open.
The moment the door opened, Lin Feng felt a strong aura of malevolence.
It was Ling Feiyan, her face cold, walking in with Xia Xue and Yang Ming.
"You again! Who authorized you to use our interrogation room without permission, and who let you turn off the surveillance inside?"
Ling Feiyan questioned angrily, glancing at the bewildered old man with the white beard.
"Lin Feng, what is going on? Why is a maximum-security detainee here?"
Xia Xue frowned, a nameless anger rising in her chest.
Lin Feng interrogating a prisoner privately and being caught red-handed by Ling Feiyan, wasn't this causing trouble for her?
"Leader, it's not Mr. Lin's fault. It was me."
Chu He rushed in with an apologetic smile.
Ling Feiyan turned back and glared at Chu He. "You? What right do you have?"
"I, I wanted to let Mr. Lin help interrogate this prisoner. He has some experience in this area, and moreover, our Dragon Head also trusts Mr. Lin very much."
Chu He was helpless against Ling Feiyan's dominance and could only use the Dragon Head as a shield.
"Is that so? Then I'd like to ask your Dragon Head, for a jobless person to come to the Dark Group to interrogate prisoners and arbitrarily disable surveillance, where is the organizational discipline?"
"Or is your Dark Group a zoo where anyone can come in for a visit?"
Ling Feiyan said irritably and actually took out her phone to call the Dragon Head.
"Chu He, this is all your doing. You can explain it to the Dragon Head!"
Xia Xue was furious. She had only been away for a moment, and Chu He had caused such a big mess.
"And you, Lin Feng, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Xia Xue questioned, not understanding Lin Feng's actions.
"It's nothing. Didn't Officer Chu say that I'm assisting you with the case?"
Lin Feng chuckled and signaled Chu He to quickly take the old man with the white beard away.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by the meticulous Ling Feiyan. "Before things are clarified, no one here is allowed to leave half a step!"
As she spoke, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the interrogation room, and the Dragon Head, dressed in military uniform, walked in.
"Dragon Head!"
Xia Xue and Chu He saluted immediately.
"Feiyan, why are you so angry? What's wrong?"
The Dragon Head ignored Xia Xue and Chu He, looking at the furious Ling Feiyan and asked with a smile.
As the Dragon Group's top female general, he had to give her enough face.
"Dragon Head, shouldn't I be the one asking you this? A civilian is treating this place like his own home, doing whatever he pleases. Is this all with your tacit approval?"
Ling Feiyan pointed at Lin Feng and said.
The Dragon Head was momentarily speechless but still said with a calm smile, "Feiyan, Mr. Lin is a guest of our Dark Group. He is very capable, and it was indeed me who arranged for him to assist us in handling cases."
"Oh? Then I'd like to see how capable he is and how he can assist you in handling cases."
Ling Feiyan naturally didn't believe the Dragon Head's words and repeatedly made things difficult.
"Fine. Since you don't believe me, then let's try and see if I have this ability!"
Lin Feng sneered. He hadn't intended to argue with Ling Feiyan, but this woman was being a bit too overbearing.
