Crazy Smartphone – Part One

Lin Feng, known as the “Flying Thief Dai Zong,” had no idea that his words had reached the ears of the woman from earlier. As he walked, he was both rambling and plotting his “lure the snake out of its hole” strategy. He was buying equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars, not haggling, paying whatever the seller asked. Since he was a child, he had never spent money so extravagantly. Observing the flattery of the sellers, enjoying the cheap praise, Lin Feng was filled with emotion, thinking that it’s no wonder people say that rich people shop to feel better when they’re unhappy. Examining the various bizarre pieces of equipment in his hands, he was curious, trying out their effects. With all these gadgets, although not as cool as James Bond in 007 movies, they should be more than enough to deal with the likes of Cao Lei and Li Xiangdong. With these inconspicuous devices as his backup, he wouldn’t have to fear being framed by Cao Lei and Li Xiangdong, and perhaps he could even catch them in the act of wrongdoing. If they knew what was good for them and didn’t bother him, fine. But if they pushed him too far,哼! Who would have thought he had a knack for being a spy. Lin Feng imagined the scene where, after gathering evidence, Cao Lei and Li Xiangdong would kneel before him, begging for mercy, which filled him with immense satisfaction. Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped, veering off the main road and into a small alley. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared at the end of the alley. At that moment, five or six thugs dressed in a ruffian style appeared at the alley’s entrance, one of whom was the tall and imposing Xiao Qiang. “He’s gone? That kid’s got fast legs! Did he spot us?” “Impossible, we were following closely.” Xiao Qiang said. “Brother Qiang, does that kid really have a lot of dollars on him?” “Hey, still don’t believe me? You saw how generously he was spending at the electronics market earlier, how could he not have money? Plus, I just exchanged $10,000 with him, didn’t you all see that? This kid buying so much surveillance gear, he’s probably a lone wolf. Otherwise, how could someone as shabby as him have so much money? So, have you guys decided to take him down?” “Brother Qiang, how could we be against money? But you know the rules of our gang, if the boss finds out we’re breaking the rules and targeting clients, we’d get three knives and six holes!” “Wealth comes from risk, let’s keep it clean, that kid has no background, what’s there to fear?” “Exactly, I’ve checked his background, just a student from Yushan High School, and his money must be dirty, otherwise, why would he come to us for exchange, and he didn’t even blink when I offered a low rate!” “Brother Qiang, you’ve reminded me, that’s why he looked so familiar, a student from Yushan High School? He lives in Happiness Community, heh heh heh, Room 801, Building 3, Daren Alley, Heping Road…” “Dai Zong, have you been to his place?” “Heh heh heh…” “Damn, you’re sick, laughing so creepily, what’s the deal?” “Ah, Brother Qiang, why are you hitting me, stop, stop… I’ll talk, I’ll talk, this kid’s name is Lin Feng, I’ve dealt with the school’s big shot Cao Nan before, so I know him.” “Cao Nan? The leader of the Thirteen Eagles from North Gate?” “Yes, that’s him! A couple of days ago, he suddenly approached me with a photo, asking me to look into someone’s situation…” The thugs, hearing the confirmed location of their big target, were suddenly invigorated. And the one with a particularly sleazy appearance, nicknamed Flying Squirrel Dai Zong, was inwardly pleased, and as his accomplices gathered around, he began to vividly recount how he had encountered Lin Feng by chance and uncovered Lin Feng’s secret. It turned out this man was a professional burglar, skilled in lock-picking, wall-climbing, and breaking into homes. On the night Lin Feng received the girl Niuniu, this guy happened to be on a night shift in Happiness Community. Seeing Lin Feng’s door and windows wide open, he climbed up to Lin Feng’s window along the water pipe. Just as he reached the window, Lin Feng accidentally activated a ‘Wind Blade’ magic card, interrupted by his mother’s knocking. The intruder was startled by the chaos inside Lin Feng’s room, paused on the windowsill, and was spotted by Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng chase after him, he quickly slid down the water pipe and fled.
