Chapter 1073 "Brother, I'm so scared!"
Despite his extreme anger, Lu Feng's voice sounded calm, but beneath this calmness, there was a terrifying pressure that froze the air.
The pair of eyes looking at Scarface were icy cold without a trace of warmth.
Faced with such a terrifying look, Scarface's throat rolled, and the excuse of "let me take a look at the goods first" was stuck in his throat.
In this situation, he had no doubt that if he dared to say "no" at this moment, the seemingly calm man in front of him would instantly turn into a ferocious beast that would choose its prey and would tear all of them to pieces in the most cruel way even with his bare hands.
"......Yamada! Untie her!"
Scarface's voice was barely perceptible and dry, almost like a roar.
Yamada, with a small mustache, was frightened by Lu Feng's aura. He hurriedly took out a knife, cut the ropes on Lu Yanran's hands and feet, and carefully tore off the tape on her mouth.
"elder brother--!"
The moment the restraints were released, Lu Yanran, like a frightened deer, threw herself into Lu Feng's arms with all her strength!
She hugged Lu Feng tightly, her frail body trembling violently due to immense fear and grievance, and she burst into tears: "Wuwuwu...Brother...I'm so scared...They...They..."
As a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, she had never experienced such a scene. Being able to stand up at this moment was already beyond most people.
"Don't be afraid, Yanran, brother is here."
Lu Feng's voice softened instantly, with a reassuring calmness.
He held his sister tightly in one hand, feeling the trembling and coldness of her body, and gently patted her back with the other hand. His gentle movements formed a strange and strong contrast with the murderous intent in his eyes that had not diminished in the slightest.
"Brother is here, no one can hurt you anymore."
His voice was still low, but every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force. "I promise you, for the injustice you suffered today, I will make them pay it back a hundredfold!"
Lu Feng spoke the last four words almost close to Lu Yanran's ear in a bone-chilling voice that only she could hear.
The cruel determination contained in that voice made Lu Yanran shudder subconsciously, and her crying paused.
"Mr. Lu!"
Scarface's voice sounded anxiously and impatiently, forcibly interrupting the brief embrace between brother and sister.
"We've demonstrated our sincerity! You've seen the person, and he's safe and sound! Now, isn't it your turn to demonstrate your sincerity?"
His eyes were fixed on the black suitcase in Lu Feng's hand, greed almost overflowing from his eyes.
Lu Feng gently patted his sister's back, signaling her to be at ease.
Then he raised his head and looked at Scarface, his eyes becoming cold and deep again.
The next second, he raised his arm and threw the black suitcase carrying the secret coveted by countless people towards Scarface!
The box traced a parabola in the air.
Scarface and his two men's eyes widened, and they subconsciously held their breath, as if that was not a box, but a gold brick thrown at them.
Scarface reached out hurriedly and caught the box in a somewhat awkward manner. It felt so heavy in his hand that he was ecstatic!
"The box is for you."
Lu Feng's voice was calm and steady. "Now, let my sister leave first. She's frightened and needs to rest."
His request was reasonable and his most pressing goal at the moment—to get Lu Yanran out of this dangerous place! Only when his sister left safely could he let go and act without any scruples!
However, Scarface hugged the box tightly, a forced smile on his face. He shook his head: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid this won't work."
"What do you mean?" Lu Feng's tone instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Lu."
Scarface hurriedly explained, but his eyes were full of calculation and vigilance.
"We're not going to go back on our word. It's just... we have to verify the contents of this box to see if they're real or fake, and how much they're worth, right?"
"What if you give us an empty box or a fake item? Wouldn't we brothers be starving for the rest of our lives?"
He paused, looked at Lu Feng's increasingly cold expression, and continued, "So, I have to inconvenience Mr. Lu and your sister and ask them to stay for a while."
"Once we confirm that everything is correct and we have safely left Daqing City, we will naturally let you and your sister leave."
"I keep my word! I will never hurt you!" He patted his chest and promised, but his face did not seem credible at all.
Hearing this, Lu Feng's eyes narrowed dangerously.
This time's opponent was indeed more formidable than any he had encountered before! Not only was he ferocious, but he was also incredibly cautious and cunning, practically blocking any possibility of a quick escape.
They want both the formula and the hostages as a final insurance and bargaining chip to ensure they can evacuate safely with a huge reward.
Forced attack? There were three of them, and they were obviously well-trained, with samurai swords slung around their waists.
He was unarmed, and had to protect Lu Yanran, who had completely lost her fighting ability... The risk was too great! If the other party was desperate and hurt Yanran...
In a split second, Lu Feng's brain raced. A reckless fight was the worst option; he had to find another way!
At this moment when the atmosphere was tense and solemn to the extreme, Lu Feng thought of his greatest reliance on this trip - the nano armor.
The next second, tens of thousands of nano-scale mechanical insects that were imperceptible to the naked eye quietly emerged from Lu Feng's underwear like the tiniest dust.
They seemed to have life. Under the cover of dim light, they followed Lu Feng's arms holding Lu Yanran, quickly covering and penetrating into the fibers of Lu Yanran's clothes, forming an energy shield on her delicate skin that would be triggered in dangerous moments.
However, this defensive capability is much worse than Lu Feng's complete set of armor, but it is enough to deal with the current situation.
The entire process is completed within one hundredth of a second, which is faster than the speed of human nerve reaction.
Lu Yanran only felt a very faint, indescribable warmth coming from her brother's arm, but it disappeared in an instant.
However, she thought it was just her brother's body temperature or an illusion caused by her own excitement, and was completely unaware of it.
Lu Feng felt a little relieved when he felt the weak feedback signal coming from the nanoworms after they completed their deployment.
With this layer of protection, at least the risk of Yanran suffering fatal injuries in the next possible conflict can be greatly reduced.
After doing all this, Lu Feng's aura changed: "Inspecting the goods? Fine, you can inspect them as you please, but be quick. I don't want to waste too much time here!"
