Chapter 331: No More Talk of Fear
Ye Feng and Lin Tian both fell into silence. What they witnessed today at the artifact venue honestly made them reconsider their commitment.
Soon, Lin Tian broke the silence: "Exactly! I think Mr. Chen is right! If sacrifices are needed, so be it. We cannot let those despicable foreigners profit off our items!"
"I agree!" Ye Feng muttered to himself, "If my father knew I died for this cause, he would consider it an honor for the family!
"Then let’s discuss the plan!" Chen Moxiang clapped his hands together.
Ye Feng brought out a blueprint and drew a circle on it: "This is the venue!"
"First, I need Mr. Chen to arrange some people to be on alert around the area, to prevent unexpected reinforcements from the other side!"
"No problem!" Chen Moxiang nodded.
Then, Ye Feng marked a black dot on the blueprint: "I will be in the building opposite the venue directing you. All electronic equipment will be handled by me, and I’ll issue the action plan, but I can’t fully understand your situations, so you’ll be free from military orders outside. If you, Lin Tian, and Mr. Chen, encounter sudden situations inside, you have independent handling rights!"
"Understood!" Lin Tian did not argue with Ye Feng’s words; it was a very thorough and well-considered plan.
"You two need to unlock the code locks as quickly as possible. These locks should be managed by a single device. At that time, one of you needs to unlock, and the other will be responsible for loading the artifacts!" Ye Feng didn’t forget to add, "I suggest Lin Tian to unlock because everyone knows your skills!"
"But how are we going to transport so many artifacts?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.
Fifty artifacts, even if they were fifty plates, would be a hassle to carry, not to mention these are not just plates but a whole bunch of items!
Even if he and Chen Moxiang each took five, it’s unlikely they could carry them all.
"I have already arranged for that. Two people from the Security Management Institute will drive to us by then. What we need to do is load the artifacts onto the car!" Chen Moxiang explained.
"Got it!" Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
"In any case, try to take as many artifacts as possible. If you really can’t, ensure your safety!" Ye Feng put down the pen in his hand, "The action plan is temporarily like this. If anyone has questions or isn’t clear about something, ask!"
Chen Moxiang threw the leather gloves he was wearing on the table, "I’ve made arrangements with the security company in charge of the Kanyue City Cultural Center exhibition. Tomorrow night’s security personnel will be replaced by ours. They will turn a blind eye as long as you’re not suspected. But I can’t guarantee Nomura doesn’t have his own security!"
"Therefore, I’ve prepared something for you two!" Chen Moxiang said as he started unbuttoning his clothes.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Chen Moxiang undress, Lin Tian was stunned.
"Each of you should carry these weapons in case of encountering Nomura’s men!" Chen Moxiang unbuttoned his trench coat to reveal two black pistols and several magazines inside.
"This..." This scene left Lin Tian and the others dumbfounded.
They’re going to steal things, not to start a gunfight, is this necessary?
"You won’t go wrong taking the guns!" Chen Moxiang removed the pistols from the black trench coat and placed them on the table, "Reliable sources say Nomura brought a lot of people to the Celestial Dragon Continent, and I can’t guarantee if they have guns!"
With these words, both of them took a deep breath, realizing this secret operation was indeed fraught with difficulties.
"No one’s talking? What? Want to pull out? If you want to back out, there’s still time?" Chen Moxiang wasn’t keen on forcing anyone because no one anticipated it would be this challenging.
"Since they dare to come to the Celestial Dragon Continent, they shouldn’t leave!" Ye Feng sneered, picking up a black pistol from the table and loading it with a magazine...
"Even if I die, I’ll take a couple of them with me!" Lin Tian grabbed a black pistol from the table, taking two magazines, "Just that these bullets are a bit scarce; if you give me an assault rifle, now that would be satisfying!"
Hearing this, Chen Moxiang’s face turned black, "Do you think you’re going to war?"
"Hehe, just saying!" Lin Tian awkwardly scratched his head.
"It’s already come to this, why talk about being afraid!" Ye Feng, full of enthusiasm, picked up a black pistol from the table.
"If they use heavy weapons, you can use heavy weapons too, but if you can avoid it, try not to; otherwise, the situation will escalate!" Chen Moxiang reiterated to the two.
"Understood!" Lin Tian nodded in acknowledgment.
"Now, does anyone have any more questions?" Chen Moxiang was quite satisfied seeing neither had any intention of withdrawing from this secret action.
"I have one more question!" Ye Feng raised his right hand and said, "We still need the most advanced electronic equipment!"
"Electronic equipment?" Chen Moxiang frowned, not understanding what Ye Feng was referring to.
"Interference devices, signal transmitters, and the latest decoding machines..." Ye Feng listed the names of the devices, pointing to his backpack, "I do have some of these machines, but they are quite outdated and the models aren’t the latest. Just in case, I need the newest set of equipment!"
"No problem!" Chen Moxiang nodded without hesitation at Ye Feng’s professional requirements.
If they can successfully steal fifty artifacts, what’s the harm in providing these devices?
"Make a list of these devices, and I’ll have them prepared when I return. I’ll deliver them to this store by tomorrow afternoon. Everyone can meet here, is that okay?" Chen Moxiang asked in a deep voice.
"No problem!" Lin Tian nodded, echoing Chen Moxiang’s suggestion of regrouping before the action.
"Then I’ll go prepare!" Chen Moxiang took the list filled with black words from Ye Feng and tucked it inside his trench coat, then left the store.
"I’m leaving too? Brother Feng, get some rest early, we have a lot to do tomorrow!" Lin Tian bid farewell to Ye Feng.
"Alright, take it slow on your way back, I’m still figuring out the routes!" Ye Feng, without lifting his head, was intensely focused on the temporary blueprint on the table, contemplating the entry and escape plans, his seriousness impressing Lin Tian greatly.
Once he left Ye Feng’s store, Lin Tian returned to the Quick Pick Hotel, and the first thing he did was to immerse himself in training.
With the operation imminent, Lin Tian needed to improve his skills as quickly as possible. Only by being strong enough could he face everything with confidence.
Training went on until evening when suddenly there was a knock on the door...
