153: 153. Counterattack Again
Just as everyone was at a loss, Lu Feng’s calm voice came from behind him.
“It seems the Li Family has packed quite a lot into their turtle shell. If you had gone in like you did just now, you really would have been in trouble.”
Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on Lu Feng, filled with extreme shock and disbelief!
Could it be… that bizarre yet terrifyingly real collective hallucination just now… was Mr.’s doing?!
This was beyond their scope of understanding! It was simply unfathomable!
Lu Feng didn’t explain, but instead looked at the calm manor in the distance, grinning, “The plan has changed. Since we know where the trap is, it’s time to switch who is the hunter and who is the prey.”
Just now, he had merely used his Dream Realm ability, creating an identical space based on the real-world manor, and then, without anyone realizing, pulled everyone he had left an anchor point on into it for a realistic sand table simulation.
This simulation not only clearly verified the combat readiness of Tian Peng’s team but also exposed the hidden cards of the Li Family father and daughter.
It was… a unique form of prophetic ability.
Of course, Lu Feng would not leave any loose ends; after the Li Family father and daughter woke up, they would only feel a momentary daze and would never remember any details of what happened in the dream.
Although Yu Tianxiong next to him couldn’t enter the Dream Realm, he roughly guessed what had happened from the expressions and conversations of Tian Peng and the others, who looked like they had narrowly escaped death.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and reminded, “Team Leader Tian, focus first and complete the mission.”
Tian Peng, as if waking from a dream, immediately looked at Lu Feng with extreme excitement, his voice trembling slightly: “I understand! Thank you, Mr., for saving our lives! If not for Mr.’s guidance, this time we…”
He didn’t finish, but the lingering fear on his face was evident.
Xiao Dao, Engineer Lei, Tie Jiang, and Shan Bao also cast extremely respectful and grateful gazes at Lu Feng.
“This is equivalent to… Mr. giving us a second life!”
“Damn it, this time it’s our turn for revenge!”
“Who would have thought they’d bury so many detonators under their own house! They’re crazy, thanks to Mr.’s… methods.”
“Right, right!”
The group regained their spirits, their eyes becoming sharper and more resolute than ever before. They quietly began to move again, but this time the strategy was completely different.
They no longer prioritized clearing out hidden sentries but instead used feints and diversions to cleverly infiltrate the manor.
Then, based on the detonator burial locations in the dream, they worked together, approaching silently like ghosts, carefully digging up the loose earth, and meticulously disarming and collecting the detonators of those explosive devices.
The entire process was precise and efficient… Inside the manor, in the study.
“Boss, Miss…”
The subordinate’s report brought Li Fang and Li Wanrong back from their momentary daze. They looked around with somewhat bewildered expressions; it was still the brightly lit study, and several subordinates stood respectfully before them, awaiting instructions.
Li Fang instinctively rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had… briefly lost himself, seemingly forgetting something unimportant.
He glanced at his daughter beside him; Li Wanrong’s face also carried a similar trace of confusion.
However, he didn’t delve deeper, his attention quickly drawn by his subordinate’s report about “Yu Tianxiong and his group mysteriously disappearing from the hotel.”
“They might not be trying to hide! They might have secretly left the hotel and are very likely heading… heading towards us here?!” Li Wanrong frowned, saying almost the same words as in the dream, that ominous premonition once again lingering in her heart.
Although Li Fang still didn’t believe Yu Tianxiong would dare to try to hit a stone with an egg, he preferred to err on the side of caution. He instinctively ordered, “Pass on my command! All units, be on high alert! Strengthen patrols and vigilance! Report any disturbances immediately!”
“Yes!”
...Outside the manor, Lu Feng looked at Yu Tianxiong beside him and asked, “Old Yu, this place, your former life’s work, how do you want to deal with it? How do you want to get revenge?”
Yu Tianxiong gazed at the luxurious manor he had spent a fortune building with his own hands years ago, and his mood became unusually calm.
The years of pent-up resentment and anger seemed to have diminished considerably at the moment of impending revenge.
He no longer had any thought of reclaiming these assets; he only wanted to quickly settle this grudge and cleanly follow Lu Feng to create a greater future.
He respectfully said to Lu Feng, “Mr., I want to completely destroy this place. It’s a clean break… and a farewell to the past.”
Lu Feng nodded and calmly ordered through the communication device, “Lao Tian, do as Old Yu says. Give the Li Family a grand farewell gift.”
Tian Peng and the others on the other end of the communicator unconsciously grinned, a flash of vengeful satisfaction in their eyes.
To treat a person in the same way they treated others!
Thinking of the tragic scene of being blown to smithereens in the illusion, they felt this method couldn’t be better!
They moved swiftly, disarming most of the detonators at critical locations, then handed them over to Engineer Lei, who was proficient in demolitions, to handle.
Tian Peng, leading Xiao Dao and Tie Jiang, began selectively and covertly removing some hidden sentries that affected their retreat route, and deliberately created some subtle movements, starting to stir up trouble.
Meanwhile, Shan Bao, with his superb stealth techniques, climbed like an ape into a dense tree canopy near the main building, and through his scope, locked onto the brightly lit window of the study in the distance.
Behind the window, the figures of the Li Family father and daughter were vaguely visible.
Soon, the body of a deliberately left hidden sentry was discovered!
“Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!”
The piercing alarm once again echoed through the manor!
All the lights instantly turned on, illuminating the manor as if it were daytime! Large numbers of security personnel, like disturbed hornets, began a sweeping search!
Everything unfolded remarkably similar to the scene in the dream.
But this time, the members of Tian Peng’s team were full of confidence!
Because they were acting in the open, while the Li Family father and son had become the prey kept in the dark!
“Quick! Find them for me! Report their location immediately if you find any trace!”
Inside the study, Li Fang gripped a pistol in one hand and clutched the demolition remote control tightly in the other, a sinister sneer on his face. He seemed to already envision Yu Tianxiong and the others being blown sky-high.
At the same time, Engineer Lei, hidden in the bushes, heard his teammate’s voice: “Engineer Lei, the patrol team has been drawn away by Team Leader Tian. Besides the entrances to the buildings, other areas are clear for movement.”
He crawled forward, quietly approaching the outer wall of the manor’s main building, and using the opportunity while Tian Peng and the others drew fire, he precisely installed the disarmed detonators into the building’s load-bearing structures and the base of the outer walls, resetting the detonation signals!
Such dispersed explosions would be enough to cause structural damage.
After completing all this, he quietly retreated to a safe distance… “Useless! All of you are useless! They’re in the manor and you can’t find them?!” Inside the study, Li Fang roared into the communicator. The search outside seemed to be going poorly, making him increasingly agitated.
Li Wanrong’s sense of unease grew stronger and stronger; the feeling of palpitations made her restless. She paced back and forth in the luxurious study, always feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
Just then, her phone on the mahogany desk suddenly rang. The screen displayed a completely unfamiliar local number.
She hesitated for a moment, a strange impulse making her pick up the phone and press the answer button.
Through the receiver, a voice she knew and hated, yet was now unusually calm, came through: “Li Wanrong…”
It was Yu Tianxiong!
