Chapter 1302: Calling the Wind and Rain, Journey to the Continent 4
Mingxu and the others continued to stroll around the street under the leadership of Chen Feng, as if nothing had happened just now. As for the group of men in black, they could probably just leave them to the police.
However, what they didn't expect was that this group of people relied on some black technology to temporarily block official investigation.
In addition to the men in black, there is another group of people who are also constantly looking for the man's whereabouts. They may be the ones who are in contact with the man.
In a dark cave, a man dressed in gorgeous clothes with a black snake symbol embroidered on them sat on a high seat. Without opening his eyes, he asked the people below, "You mean, we haven't caught that guy yet?"
"Yes, that's right." The subordinate's body trembled a little. He didn't expect that there would be such a big flaw in their plan, allowing the other party to successfully enter the continent with the strictest supervision.
"So, he has successfully landed now?" The man at the top asked in a calm tone.
"Yes, that's right." The subordinate was trembling all over. He knew that the calmer the leader's tone was, the more severe the storm would be.
Sure enough, the man at the top slowly opened his eyes, a pair filled with coldness and calculation. He stared at his men and said coldly, "We've given you more than enough time. Now that he's entered the mainland, it will be even more difficult for us to take action. You must find him as soon as possible and get the things back. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
When the subordinates heard this, they nodded quickly in fear: "Yes, Chief, we must find him as soon as possible and get the things back."
The leader nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, signaling his men to withdraw. As if they had been granted amnesty, the men quickly turned and left the cave.
The leader closed his eyes again, mentally plotting his next move. He knew this incident had alerted the enemy, and he would have to be even more cautious if he tried again. He was also thinking about how to respond to various possible situations to ensure the successful completion of the mission.
"Banxia." At this time, he shouted again.
"Chief." A woman wearing a herbal mask stood up, half-knelt on the ground, looking at the chief above her.
"Appoint your men to go out as well. No matter what, we must get that thing this time. This is the only key to enter that place. What we want is in there. We must make sure it is foolproof. I am worried about that waste, Du Qin." The leader still had his eyes closed to rest and said to Banxia.
"Yes!" Banxia nodded, then took a step back and walked into the darkness.
At this time, Mingxu and his friends were still strolling leisurely on the streets of Xi'an.
After walking around for a while, Chen Feng looked at the time and said, "It's almost time. Let's go to the restaurant we reserved. There's an authentic Xi'an meal waiting for us there."
"Great, great~" Xiaoxin suddenly became excited. Guangzhi Meiya couldn't wait to follow Chen Feng to the restaurant.
Arriving at the restaurant, Chen Feng announced his name, and the waiter enthusiastically led them to the reserved private room, which was elegantly decorated and full of antique charm.
After a while, one exquisite dish after another was served on the table.
Shin-chan looked at the table full of delicious food and his mouth was watering. Before anyone else started eating, he reached out to grab some food.
Guangzhi quickly pulled him back and said, "Xiao Xin, be polite. This is not home after all."
Shin-chan reluctantly withdrew his hand, but his eyes were still fixed on the delicious food.
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, alright, don't be polite, we're all family, let's eat." He took the lead and put a chicken leg in Mingxu's bowl, "Eat."
The whole family then picked up their chopsticks and tasted these authentic Xi'an delicacies. Everyone ate and chatted at the same time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
During the meal, Chen Feng regaled them with more historical stories and folklore from Xi'an, including the mysterious origins of the Terracotta Warriors and the legendary past of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Guangzhi and Meiya listened intently, while even Xiaoxin and Xiaokui quieted down, tilting their heads to listen intently. Mingxu would occasionally chime in, sharing his own unique perspectives on historical events, which impressed Chen Feng.
After eating and drinking, everyone leaned back in their chairs, feeling a little lazy but very satisfied. Chen Feng looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky and suggested, "Let's go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda later to see the night view. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is so beautiful at night under the lights."
"Okay, okay!" Xiaoxin was the first to jump up and respond, Xiaokui also clapped her hands, Guangzhi and Meisai also agreed happily, and Mingxu naturally had no objection.
So, the group left the restaurant and headed towards the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Along the way, the street lights gradually lit up, a dazzling display of color that made the entire city particularly charming. Shin-chan and Kui excitedly weaved through the crowds, occasionally pointing out various streetside gadgets for the adults to see.
When they arrived at the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, they were deeply shocked by the scene before them. The pagoda, outlined by the lights, looked solemn and mysterious. The surrounding fountains rose and fell with the music, and the water splashed with colorful light under the lights, creating a dreamlike scene.
Everyone strolled around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, taking in the wonderful atmosphere of this blend of history and modernity. As they walked, Chen Feng explained to Mingxu and the others the changes and functions of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda over the centuries. Mingxu and the others listened with rapt interest, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.
As they were immersed in the beauty, Mingxu suddenly felt someone watching him. He calmly looked around but saw nothing unusual. He kept this feeling to himself, not sharing it with the others, as he didn't want to escalate the tension.
However, what he didn't realize was that the gaze that was secretly watching him was actually from the same man before. He was also full of surprise. He didn't expect that while waiting for the contact person here, he would also meet these people before. It is hard to say that this is not fate.
But now is not the time to communicate with them, he has to hand over the things as soon as possible.
The man quietly slipped into the crowd, using the cover of darkness and the crowd to hurried towards the pre-arranged meeting place. He knew that this mission could not afford any mistakes. The importance of that item was far beyond imagination. If it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mingxu, on the other hand, continued to enjoy his time with family and friends, but he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. With his keen intuition, he realized that something might be happening, inextricably linked to the previous incident.
However, seeing the carefree smiles on his family's faces, he decided to temporarily bury his uneasiness deep in his heart and not let it affect this rare time of reunion. Besides, he was just here to participate in the competition, and sometimes, he really didn't want to care too much.
As night fell, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda's light show reached its climax, and the crowd erupted in gasps and applause. Mingxu stood beside his family, gathering his thoughts and reflecting on the events that had just unfolded. For some reason, he felt that some things were beyond his control.
"Hey, I'm not stuck in some theater version again, am I?" Mingxu said with a puzzled look. Everything that has been happening lately really feels like a theater.
Mingxu looked around, not noticing anything. Then, a message rang through his watch. It was Shaxi, telling him she'd be arriving in Xi'an with her father the next day. Mingxu smiled and replied. As he looked up, he turned and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd—the absent-minded man from before. It was only a fleeting sight, but Mingxu was certain he wasn't mistaken.
"Hiss, this guy, is he meeting here? No, we should leave here quickly." Mingxu didn't think he was seeing things. He shook his head, walked to Guangzhi Meiya, and whispered, "Dad, Mom, let's go somewhere else. I heard the scenery of the city wall over there is also nice. Why don't we go there?"
Chen Feng was a little confused when he heard Mingxu's words: "Xiaoxu, what's wrong? There's still time to go to the city wall tomorrow. The most exciting part here hasn't even started yet."
"But, this, hey~ okay." Mingxu looked at the group of people who obviously didn't have enough fun, and he felt helpless. He couldn't say that he felt something was wrong here, so he wanted everyone to leave. He had no basis at all.
Looking at Mingxu's expression, Guangzhi Meiya frowned, then relaxed: "Since Xiaoxu said so, let's go somewhere else. The city that never sleeps over there is not bad either."
"Yeah." Mei Ya also nodded in agreement. Although she didn't know what Xiao Xu was worried about, she thought that he was probably afraid of getting into trouble.
Chen Feng didn't quite understand, but since the guests said so, he didn't say much: "Since it's decided, let's try another place. It's a pity, the activities later will be more exciting." As he said this, there was still a bit of regret on his face.
"It's okay, you're not leaving right away. We can still see you from behind." Mingxu patted Chen Feng's thigh and said with a smile.
"You." Chen Feng looked at Mingxu below and felt a little emotional. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of a child.
The group headed towards the city that never sleeps. Mingxu remained vigilant along the way. His intuition told him that the man's appearance was no accident and that there might be a greater secret hidden behind it. At this moment, he was more worried about the safety of his family and friends, not wanting to involve them in unnecessary trouble.
