The next morning.
Early in the morning, Jiang Feng was still asleep when he was woken by a call from Dong Ruyan.
Upon seeing Dong Ruyan's call, Jiang Feng was immediately wide awake and answered, "How is it? Did you find out the identity of that woman?"
"Jiang Feng, I have to say, you really have a lot of influence."
Dong Ruyan snorted coldly on the other end, "Last night, after I told Fox Master and Aunt Lan about this matter, neither of them slept the whole night, helping you investigate through the night!"
"Relying solely on our Demon Moon Alliance's internal resources wasn't enough. Fox Master even contacted all her friends and other organizations to help you investigate thoroughly."
"But even with all that, we couldn't find out the identity of that woman. It wasn't until we alerted the Tianji Pavilion that we finally confirmed who she was!"
"Tianji Pavilion?" Jiang Feng frowned upon hearing this.
"The Hundred Knowledge Hall under the Tianji Pavilion is the most powerful intelligence organization in the country. Even some official agencies have to turn to them for help."
Dong Ruyan said faintly, "Of course, you don't need to ask too much. Just know that Fox Master spent a huge amount to persuade them to help confirm this matter for you."
"The woman in the photo you sent is most likely not Chinese but a martial artist from Myanmar!"
"Her name is Lu Da. She used to be one of the six bodyguards under Tarsen, the chairman of Myanmar's Heigu Group, with Maestro Level skills. Later on, Tarsen took her in as his woman."
"But for some reason, Tarsen recently handed her over to Myanmar's Sword Master Hemeng. Hemeng is one of Myanmar's martial guardians and is revered as a State Preceptor with an extraordinary status!"
Heigu Group, Hemeng?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng finally understood!
It turns out that the people who captured Zhuge Yuheng were from those two forces!
Now he was completely sure that this operation was essentially aimed at him, with Zhuge Yuheng merely being used as bait!
Because both Heigu Group and Hemeng had a deep blood feud with him.
Jiang Feng had been thinking of going to Myanmar when he had time, but he didn't expect them to act first!
"Got it, please convey my thanks to the Demoness for me," Jiang Feng said calmly, preparing to hang up.
"Hey... wait!"
Dong Ruyan suddenly said, "How can you be like this? You just use others and then dismiss them outright? I'm not finished speaking yet!"
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Feng's expression wasn't very pleasant.
"Fox Master said that she knew you'd definitely want to go to Myanmar to save someone, so she wants to provide you with further convenience—allow me to fly you abroad and assist you throughout!"
"No need."
Jiang Feng immediately refused. He knew the Demon Moon Alliance still had designs on him, but he didn't want to get entangled with them any further.
This matter was a one-time favor, considered as collecting interest from his previous help to them.
"Jiang Feng, think it over. Going to Myanmar by yourself is not impossible, but it'll involve many troublesome steps!"
Dong Ruyan was even more irritated by Jiang Feng's ungratefulness. "First of all, do you have a passport? Overseas travel requires a passport, and not having one would waste time!"
"Secondly, do you speak Burmese? Rushing to Myanmar filled with passion, unfamiliar with the territory, can you ensure you'll rescue Zhuge Yuheng from those local snakes?"
"Do you?" Jiang Feng retorted.
"Not particularly fluent, but I can communicate without issues."
Dong Ruyan said calmly, "Our training also considered missions in neighboring countries, so foreign languages are an essential skill."
"Alright." Jiang Feng nodded. "I'm heading to the airport now. In about three hours, I should reach Taihu. Have the plane ready and waiting for me."
After saying that, Jiang Feng finally ended the call.
At this moment, the bedroom door on the first floor quietly opened.
Zhang Qinyao, in pajamas and slippers, stepped out and looked at Jiang Feng with concern, asking, "Brother Feng, was that a call from your friend? Any progress?"
"We've identified the female criminal."
Jiang Feng glanced at her and then upstairs, saying, "I have to go out now. When Qingcheng and Fei'er wake up, please tell them not to worry, I will do my best to bring Zhuge Yuheng back safely!"
With that, Jiang Feng quickly dressed and left.
"Brother Feng!"
Zhang Qinyao suddenly took a few steps forward and anxiously said to Jiang Feng, "You... please be careful!"
"Mm." Jiang Feng nodded and had already stepped out the door.
Zhang Qinyao, with a heavy heart, watched his back at the door, words unsaid.
In the end, she could only take a deep breath.
...
Meanwhile, within the borders of Myanmar, at Tuwa Port.
This was the southeastern terminal bordering China, on the southern bank of the Mekong River.
Unlike the nationally renowned major port Dilawa, Tuwa Port was primarily a place for smuggling boats, snakehead ships, and fishing boats to dock.
Because of this, the area was relatively chaotic, with mixed order and a gathering of various characters.
At this time, a seemingly ordinary snakehead ship slowly sailed down from the upper reaches of the Mekong River and docked at Tuwa Port.
Then, the alluring Lu Da, escorting Zhuge Yuheng, emerged from the boat's canopy.
Back on her native soil, Lu Da finally removed the mask from her face, appearing more at ease.
To smuggle Zhuge Yuheng out of China's borders, she faced far greater trouble than Jiang Feng.
She had to secretly board a coal train and then transfer to a snakehead ship, eventually exiting via the Mekong River, ensuring not to get detected by Chinese authorities.
So, after more than 30 exhausting hours, she finally brought Zhuge Yuheng back.
Ahead, several high-end SUVs were already parked near the Tuwa dock, waiting.
There stood more than thirty sharply dressed men, in stark contrast to the surrounding impoverished laborers.
Leading them was none other than Tarsen, the chairman of Heigu Group!
"Lu Da, you're finally back. I was worried sick during your time in the country!"
Tarsen greeted her eagerly when he saw Lu Da escorting Zhuge Yuheng.
"China is not what it used to be. Killing one person is easy, but capturing a live one is extremely difficult!" Lu Da said calmly.
"Did you rouse that Jiang Feng?" Tarsen asked again.
"No. If he had noticed, do you think I'd make it back?" Lu Da shook her head.
"That's good. Once everything is settled, we'll lure him to Myanmar. I don't believe that once he's on our turf, I can't shred him into pieces!" Tarsen snarled viciously!
