Shortly after, Klau's body had completely turned to ashes, dispersed by the gentle breeze between heaven and earth.

Suddenly a thought emerged in Ling Feng's mind—could it be that Klau's ultimate goal was to seek release? Recalling the smile he had shown just before dying, a heaviness settled in Ling Feng's heart.

Now, what Klau's real purpose was seemed irrelevant. What mattered were the messages he had revealed.

"Who's there!" Suddenly, Ling Feng turned sharply, his gaze fixed on a nearby hiding spot.

Thud, thud, thud, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the cover, his wooden expression showing a hint of regret, "It seems that Lord Klau has indeed died. Ling Feng, your strength has exceeded our expectations!"

"You're with Hell's Gate too?" Ling Feng's right hand sent a Sword Qi hurtling forth.

With a boom, the Sword Qi pierced the man's body and struck the distant stone wall, erupting in a violent explosion.

The middle-aged man pondered, "Such a casual Sword Qi is so powerful—looks like we need to update our information about you!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a small notebook and began to write something down with all seriousness.

Ling Feng's eyebrows furrowed, "So this isn't your real body?"

After the man finished writing, he closed the notebook and said, "Correct, my actual body isn't in this space on Earth. And don't worry, I was merely Lord Klau's chronicler. Since he has been killed by you, there's no need for me to stay any longer!"

He looked earnestly at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, we will entrust the Divine Artifact from Hell's Gate to you for now, but we have not given up on it. We hope that before we take it back, you can help us protect it well!"

"This time we were careless, but next time, we won't concede so easily..." As he spoke, the figure of the middle-aged man gradually vanished into thin air, leaving only a faint echo behind.

"Hell's Gate!" Ling Feng clenched his fists, his eyes showing a stern expression.

...

The incident at the Oriental Shopping Center was ultimately suppressed. Thankfully, Ling Feng had used the Devil's Ring to transport everyone out, thereby preventing a major catastrophe.

However, this incident greatly infuriated Long Guangyi. He hadn't expected the people of Hell's Gate to be so audacious and reckless. It was his first crisis since taking office, and before it even ended, Hell's Gate had already caused trouble. This resolved Long Guangyi to deal with Hell's Gate once and for all.

Yet Ling Feng didn't care about these matters. Lately, he had noticed Jenny looking at him with a strange expression, which made Ling Feng feel uneasy.

Several days passed quickly, and the inspection team from the European pharmaceutical giant left after their visit. Jenny didn't leave with them but continued to tour Yanjing.

"Ling Feng, are you leaving tomorrow?" Liu Tingyu stood beside Ling Feng, speaking softly with a hint of reluctance.

Ling Feng's mission to the Middle East had been discussed with the girls a few days ago, and tomorrow was the day of departure.

Seeing the worry on Liu Tingyu's face, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Rest assured, you should know my strength—I won't have any trouble!"

"But you've only just come back not long ago!" Liu Tingyu protested with some dissatisfaction, "Doesn't Dragon Group have anyone else who can complete the mission?"

Even if there were others willing to go, Ling Feng wouldn't agree. He intended to rescue Bai Feifei himself. He naturally wouldn't be at ease leaving it to someone else.

However, Ling Feng hadn't told Liu Tingyu about this matter, though she was well-educated and carried herself with grace; but which woman doesn't get jealous?

"Ling Feng, I heard you're going to the Middle East tomorrow?" At this moment, Jenny and the others approached from a distance and spoke, "It just so happens I need to go back too. We could travel together!"

Ling Feng said, "Aren't you going to stay and have fun for a few days?"

"The past few days of fun have already been a luxury for me!" Jenny stretched lazily and continued, "If I don't go back now, the old folks at home will probably come here in person to fetch me!"

Ling Feng turned to look at Catherine, "What about you?"

Thanks to the days they had spent together, the relationship between the three women had developed significantly. Liu Tingyu and Catherine had also become more familiar with each other; at least, that was how it seemed to Ling Feng.

"I really want to stay here! But there are many things that the organization needs me to do!" Catherine shrugged and exclaimed, "I'm also leaving tomorrow!"

"Oh, right, do you want to join us tomorrow?" Jenny suddenly asked at that moment, "My family's private plane can land at any airport in Europe, you know!"

"Really? That would be amazing, thank you!" Yun Hanrui said excitedly, grabbing Jenny's hand.

Ling Feng chuckled wryly, feeling that Jenny had intentionally waited until this moment to join him. He had initially planned to refuse!

But after a moment's thought, Ling Feng was curious about what Jenny wanted with him. So, with Yun Hanrui's agreement, he decided to go with the flow.

...

The next day, when Johnson's plane left the airport, both Yun Hanrui's and Liu Tingyu's faces revealed a melancholic expression.

They didn't know how risky Ling Feng's journey would be, but what they did know was that some things had to be shouldered by their man. Since they had chosen to be Ling Feng's women, they had to bear all this and understand everything!

"Ting Yu, I have something to tell you!" After they returned, Yun Hanrui came to Liu Tingyu's room, sat down, and said, "Do you know that Ling Feng has less than five years to live?"

Liu Tingyu's body trembled, and then she nodded, "Yes, I know."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Yun Hanrui's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "If I hadn't heard about it from Jenny's mouth, how long were you planning to keep it a secret from me?"

Seeing Yun Hanrui's agitation, Liu Tingyu promptly took her hand and said, "Sister Yun, please don't be angry. There is a way to solve Ling Feng's health issues, so we..."

Yun Hanrui sighed and said, "Ting Yu, the reason I'm upset is not just because you lied to me. Am I, Yun Hanrui, not trustworthy enough for you? Would I leave Ling Feng because of his health condition?"

She earnestly added, "I hope we can be honest with each other in the future. Whatever problems arise, we are each other's support! Plus, I want to do my part for Ling Feng, even if that effort is minuscule."

"What do you want to do?" Liu Tingyu couldn't help but ask.

Yun Hanrui smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have a plan!"

After saying this, she turned and left. She was going home to ask her father for those research materials from before.

"Even if it's Pandora's box, I will spare no effort if it can save Ling Feng!" A wild look gleamed in Yun Hanrui's eyes.
