72: Creating a false impression (3.4K! Please support!)

Jiang Feng sat back in the pickup truck, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned the air conditioning to maximum.

The black briefcase was on the passenger seat, and Little Handsome in the back opened the door for Gold-Wrapped Silver, who leaped in.

“Supreme Commander, I have leased several fully automated storage facilities at different addresses under different identities.”

“Once the parts from Zhao Mingyuan arrive, I will transfer them again and notify you.”

“This expense totals 8,644 earth federation coins.”

The Mainframe’s voice came from the wristband.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly: “Hmm, you did well. Once the parts arrive, I will immediately use the Cybrex Warforge to disassemble and re-manufacture them. These are necessary expenses; organize them into a separate detailed account and update it in real-time.”

“Additionally, I give you full authorization to accept Hacker missions online under the identity of ‘Aladdin 1314.’ Be careful to cultivate this identity as a particularly mysterious person.”

“Also, help me operate the identities of ‘10 of Spades’ and ‘Mr. S.’ ‘10 of Spades’ is a parts supplier with a reckless personality. ‘Mr. S’ is a manufacturer, more aloof.”

“If necessary, you can freely create new identities, but you must tell me the purpose beforehand.”

“Finally, help me find various blueprints. Currently, the most important are blueprints for different Robot Dogs, robots, and parts. I am very interested in the space drill, so find me some blueprints for maintenance robots.”

Jiang Feng spoke a lot in one breath, and the Mainframe immediately responded.

“Understood. Besides necessary expenses, into which account should the earned money be deposited?”

“Use virtual currency to purchase rare crystal futures; that’s more stable, especially now.”

“Understood, Supreme Commander.”

Jiang Feng’s wristband vibrated repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, there were several expenses exceeding ten thousand.

Leasing cloud computing power, leasing cloud storage, purchasing a virtual domain name library—Jiang Feng glanced at them; they were all quite suitable.

The saying “employ people without suspicion, suspect people without employing them” applied to people, and Jiang Feng applied it to AI as well.

He started the engine and drove towards club, “Three Black Stockings Club.”

club, “Three Black Stockings Club,” was unusually noisy today.

Jiang Feng asked the security guard at the door and understood why.

It wasn't because the boxing match was reaching its climax, but because today was Sunday, party night. Even before evening, countless middlemen brought their “female models” to this place to enjoy themselves for free.

Of course, “free” was for those girls.

The girls were all tall and thin, beautiful as fairies, each dressed in vibrant attire, full of youthful vigor.

Their task was simple: just enjoy the party here, acting as background and atmosphere. As for how the real “players” wanted to play and how big, they could naturally “friendly” negotiate with them.

The girls came from various backgrounds, but at least they looked more glamorous than the Dancers on site.

The middlemen basically made a fortune from their presence.

And the girls got free drinks and meals, as well as a chance to get close to high society, so it wasn't a loss.

Jiang Feng had seen this kind of thing before. In his previous life, he had also participated in some nightlife. At that time, he couldn't care less about beautiful women; his only wish was to finalize sales and successfully sign contracts.

Now… he walked into club, looking at those delicate and charming faces, and suddenly felt that he didn't care at all.

Just as he pushed through the crowd, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

“Jiang Feng?”

He focused his gaze. The woman standing in front of him wore a beige trench coat, and beneath her messy short hair was a face that truly stood out. Even surrounded by hundreds of beautiful women of all kinds, she could emerge, displaying a striking and heroic charm.

She chewed gum, completely unconcerned about her image.

Even though her long-sleeved shirt was worn tightly, the impressive assets on her chest still radiated a dazzling presence.

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment. He had seen this woman once, out of the corner of his eye.

“Su Wen.” The female detective extended her hand, her eyes sparkling with cunning.

“Do you know Han Zhaobang? Han Tianyu’s father, the chairman of Zhaobang Trading.”

Jiang Feng’s heart sank suddenly, but he pretended to be calm: “No, should I know him?”

Su Wen chuckled softly and leaned closer to his ear: “Then you must know Old Wang… and the wastewater treatment plant, right?”

When she leaned in, there was a warm scent of alcohol on her, which, for some reason, Jiang Feng found a little pleasant.

He tried to relax, tilted his head, and smiled: “Su Wen, right? Just say what you want to say directly.”

“Don’t say strange things or try to scare me with things I don’t know.” Jiang Feng flatly denied.

“Oh, oh, oh, relax.” Su Wen stepped back half a pace and raised her hands: “I’m not here to threaten you. In fact…”

She suddenly showed a mischievous smile: “I think that scumbag deserved to die.”

Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes, quickly assessing the woman in front of him. She was definitely not a subordinate of the Han family, nor was she from the Public Security Bureau. She seemed more like a free-spirited traveler, or rather, an adventurer seeking thrills.

However, no matter what, this woman was quite strange, and he couldn't quite figure her out for a while.

‘Is Han Zhaobang targeting me? Or did Han Zhaobang hire this woman, and she’s targeting me?’

The two conjectures had entirely different implications. If Han Zhaobang was targeting him, then this trouble had to be resolved immediately.

If it was the latter, then the trouble to be resolved would change from Han Zhaobang to this… woman!.

Jiang Feng’s gaze slowly became subtle. He smiled and reached out, gently gripping Su Wen’s wrist. The female detective tried to struggle, but the next second, she found herself completely at his mercy.

Gold-Wrapped Silver at his feet looked up, showing her a friendly smile.

Those steel teeth, let alone her straight long legs, even an iron pillar wouldn't withstand a bite.

Jiang Feng led her as if he were leading a long-distance girlfriend, striding quickly, looking more eager than going to a hotel.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Jiang Feng cornered Su Wen against the wall, his smile instantly gone.

“Speak, what do you want to do?”

In the dim corridor, only ambiguous pink lights shone from the sides.

Su Wen’s face was illuminated only in outline, but even the outline was enough.

Her eyes widened, and she stopped chewing her gum, standing properly in front of Jiang Feng like a student who had made a mistake.

“Han Zhaobang hired me to investigate his son’s disappearance.”

“I believe Han Tianyu might have hired Old Wang to somehow target your wife, Lin Xiaoyu, but you killed both of them and involved club to destroy the evidence.”

Jiang Feng’s eyes immediately became dangerous. What this woman said was almost entirely accurate. Whether or not there was supporting evidence, for someone suffering the pain of losing a child, it was already enough.

His eyes slowly lowered, his breathing calm, like a lion in the shade, awakening.

“This is my investigation report. You’ll see when you read it; I mean no harm.”

Su Wen slowly reached out, tapped her wristband, and displayed a holographic image box.

Jiang Feng glanced at it. It made no mention of Jiang Feng, only saying that a pair of runaway bandit lovers had been encountered, and their cause of death was murder due to passion, with the death occurring at the wastewater treatment plant.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and checked on this pair of bandit lovers; indeed, they existed.

Their bodies had only been discovered this morning, having died in City District 01.

It seemed that during their escape, they encountered some irresistible factor—such as infighting.

This was an unsolved case; at least for now, the Public Security Bureau had not announced any progress.

“I saw the news half an hour ago and only then pieced them together with Han Tianyu’s death. My people are ensuring the coherence of this evidence. As soon as I send this report, you’ll be temporarily safe.”

“I never intended to turn you in, I promise, I mean you no harm!”

Su Wen’s eyes sparkled in the darkness. She felt her heart thumping. The man in front of her was like a volcano, radiating powerful heat that made her body go soft.

Jiang Feng was somewhat puzzled. Why did a hint of purple light flash in this woman’s eyes?

But soon, the light extinguished, and Jiang Feng didn’t pay it any mind, assuming it was just a reflection from the ambient lighting, nothing more.

Su Wen continued: “Han Zhaobang will definitely continue to investigate, but… that will take time, and some luck.”

Jiang Feng stepped back and patted Gold-Wrapped Silver’s iron head, indicating that he no longer harbored ill will towards Su Wen.

“Why?” He looked suspicious and asked again: “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Because I also hate scum.” Su Wen shrugged and smiled bitterly, looking down.

“If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn’t have taken this job.”

The wristband vibrated slightly, and Jiang Feng looked down to see the lie detection data sent by Gold-Wrapped Silver.

[Speech spectrum smoothness 92.7%, no sudden frequency increase (typical lying characteristic value > 85%).]

[Emotional waveform and semantic matching degree 98%, no waveform breaks.]

[Target language credibility 97.6%, emotional intent purity 95.1%.]

[Meets 'no deceptive expression' and 'no aggressive motive' dual safety standards.]

[Comprehensive assessment: The female individual is not lying and harbors no ill will.]

Jiang Feng looked up, once again at Su Wen in the darkness.

The woman’s heart pounded. He was so close he could almost hear her heartbeat through the noisy music.

“Then thank you.” Jiang Feng smiled slightly.

Then he became serious: “You know, if Han Zhaobang finds out he’s been deceived, he won’t let you go.”

He still had to see Jasmine and couldn’t spend time on this woman for now. As long as he confirmed she wasn’t a threat, that was enough for the moment. More could be discussed later.

“…” Su Wen looked down, trying to see her toes.

‘Oh, right…’ She realized, not for the first time with annoyance, that she couldn’t see her toes; she never could since she was little.

Without a response from Su Wen, Jiang Feng sighed and tapped wristbands with her.

“Let’s add each other’s contact info. If you need help, just say something.”

‘Move, Su Wen, move! There won’t be another chance like this. Jiang Feng clearly hides some secret, enough to make an ordinary person suddenly evolve and become like this.’

‘Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to understand what his secret is?’

‘Quick, use your vulnerability to move him, tell him you need help. With his personality, he won’t immediately refuse.’

‘As soon as he starts to consider, you can get close to him and figure out his secret!’

Su Wen was practically screaming in her mind, wanting to make herself move and say the things she had prepared.

But for some reason, for the first time in her life, she lost interest in someone’s hidden secret.

Those sweet, delicious secrets she could never say “no” to, for the first time, held no meaning for her.

“Oh.”

She heard herself make such a low response.

She saw Jiang Feng look at her with a slightly strange expression, then smile faintly and walk away with Gold-Wrapped Silver.

She saw Jiang Feng’s back straight, his steps firm, the black briefcase in his hand swinging back and forth with his movement.

Su Wen stood stunned for a good ten minutes before suddenly pounding her chest.

“How embarrassing!”

“What did I even do?!”

“I need to take my medicine quickly!”
