After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1870 The Backstabber
Chen Feng emerged from the villa with a somewhat grim expression. The reason was that, during his handshake with Moore earlier, he had used his information recall ability to glean some truths.
He finally found out who had leaked his ability to cure terminal illnesses to Moore. He didn't recognize two of them, but he did know one. Being betrayed, even betrayed, by someone he knew naturally made Chen Feng very unhappy. Most importantly, Chen Feng had helped this person in the past.
In addition, he also learned a little about Moore's background. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be a favorite of the gods. Looking back at some of the scenes from the past 33 days, Chen Feng only learned about his extremely extravagant private life, his ruthless side in the financial market, and that he had someone above him.
Chen Feng hadn't discovered the specifics of the organization he belonged to, but there was no doubt that it was a deep state organization that many people now knew about. This mysterious, hidden organization possessed immense power and influence, arguably controlling the economic and political fate of entire nations and even the world, and to a certain extent, influencing the history of humankind.
Many politicians in the public eye, despite their apparent power and prestige, are in reality puppets controlled by such organizations. If they are obedient, they can remain in power for a longer period; if they are disobedient, they may be forced to step down early, or even die a violent death.
Therefore, although Chen Feng is God's favorite, possessing extraordinary luck and special abilities, his individual strength is still somewhat weak in the face of such a powerful organization and group. He lacks the confidence to defeat them in a direct confrontation or conflict. Therefore, cooperating with them is the best option for now. Fortunately, Moore doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, and so far appears to value him highly. He even presented Chen Feng with this villa worth over $1 million as an apology, demonstrating his sincerity in cooperating. Judging from Moore's actions, Chen Feng should be safe for the time being.
But Chen Feng could not forgive the person who betrayed him, the one who even tried to stab him in the back. That person was Lawrence, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States. Chen Feng had previously cured his youngest son, Byron, through blood transfusion therapy. At the time, Byron was suffering from severe depression and had attempted suicide several times. If Chen Feng hadn't cured him, he might already be dead.
But Lawrence didn't take this favor to heart, or in his view, he had already settled things with Chen Feng by paying the consultation fee.
Chen Feng had always thought that Lawrence was one of his backers. Previously, when his charitable foundation was undergoing approval, Carl had mentioned that Lawrence had also contributed, but it turned out that the first person to report to Moore about his blood transfusion treatment for a terminal illness was this Lawrence.
In fact, it was Lawrence who suggested arresting Chen Feng through Julian. Without a doubt, Lawrence is a highly loyal henchman kept by Moore. Otherwise, he wouldn't have committed such an ungrateful and heartless act.
Therefore, it's no wonder Chen Feng's mood and expression were anything but good after learning this fact.
Although Moore noticed his unusual behavior, he clearly didn't know Chen Feng had such methods. Fortunately, Chen Feng was mentally strong enough to easily brush it off and didn't show much impropriety in front of Moore, nor did he ask Moore to confirm whether Lawrence was one of his men.
Chen Feng, accompanied by two bodyguards, got into the hotel's rented car and immediately ordered the driver to return to the hotel. Throughout the journey, Chen Feng remained silent, not even checking his phone, his eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window, lost in his own thoughts.
It wasn't until his phone beeped with a message from Luna, saying she and Rebecca had chosen a restaurant and asking when he'd be back, that Chen Feng remembered his promise to have lunch with the two of them.
Looking at the time, it was almost noon, the time when they were supposed to have lunch. Chen Feng immediately replied that he was on his way back and would arrive in about ten minutes. Luna was relieved.
Of course, the fact that she only messaged Chen Feng now was already quite remarkable. She was afraid that contacting him too early would displease Chen Feng, or anger Brina, who might then deliberately prevent Chen Feng from coming to meet her. Fortunately, Chen Feng was coming back soon, and Brina didn't seem to be deliberately causing trouble.
After replying to Luna's message, Chen Feng thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Carl Hicks.
"Chen, I'm so glad you called me. I've actually been thinking of calling you these past couple of days to invite you to my house for dinner. My ex-wife and children want to see you. But I was afraid you'd be too busy."
As soon as the call connected, Carl was very enthusiastic and immediately invited him to his home.
Chen Feng had no desire to see his ex-wife and children. To be honest, two of his children were a bit unruly, and his ex-wife always had a resentful look on her face, so Chen Feng couldn't be bothered to see them.
However, despite his inner thoughts, he still had to maintain appearances. So Chen Feng said, "Sorry, I've been quite busy these past few days. You might not know, but I've started dating a new girl here. Also, I have to keep Brina company. Plus, there are things to do at the foundation, which I need to keep an eye on. In short, I've been quite busy."
"Oh, I see. You really are a charmer, attracting women wherever you go. Okay, you called because you need something, right? Just tell me, I'll definitely help you."
Karl's attitude pleased Chen Feng. Chen Feng didn't bother with further pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I remember you paid most of Lawrence's consultation fees. He only paid $1000 million; you covered the rest. Does Lawrence know about this? Also, I'd like to know, what did you hope to get from him after paying so much for him?"
Carl hadn't expected Chen Feng to suddenly ask about Lawrence, and with such questions. Although puzzled, after a moment's hesitation, he told the truth: "He did indeed only pay $1000 million. That was the price I told him for the consultation, but it certainly wasn't. I advanced $9000 million. He definitely knew, but he pretended not to, you know. My purpose in doing so was simple: to befriend him. After all, he's the Deputy Attorney General, with considerable power, overseeing multiple departments, and even directly intervening in several judicial and law enforcement agencies. Many things can be easily resolved with his help. And he's grateful; he's helped me with quite a few things so far. The $9000 million I advanced for him is almost back to its original cost."
It has to be said that Carl truly considered Chen Feng a friend; otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed such a private matter. He genuinely trusted Chen Feng completely.
"Okay, I understand," Chen Feng said calmly.
Carl couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there something you need that you suddenly asked about him?"
After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng chose to keep it a secret and denied it, saying, "No, I just suddenly remembered it and then asked you about it."
Karl was naturally skeptical of Chen Feng's words. He knew Chen Feng was probably hiding something from him, but since Chen Feng had chosen not to say, he didn't press the matter.
Then Carl said, "Alright then. Have a good time in Los Angeles. Of course, if you have time, it would be best if you came to my house. We can meet up and chat. Let me treat you to a meal; you can bring your new girlfriend along."
Karl extended the invitation again, and Chen Feng couldn't refuse this time, so he said, "Alright then, I'll definitely come and bother you when I have time."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." The two didn't chat any longer and quickly hung up the phone.
After putting down his phone, Chen Feng was lost in thought for a moment before picking it up again and calling Luna. He told her to come downstairs and wait for him, as his car would be arriving soon. He could then pick her up and go directly to Rebecca, saving everyone time.
Luna had been waiting in her hotel room, and upon hearing Chen Feng's suggestion, she immediately agreed.
A few minutes later, the car returned to the hotel. Luna was already waiting at the door.
After Luna got into the car, she told the driver the exact address of the restaurant. As the car started moving again, Luna asked curiously, "Where did you and Brina go? You're only just getting back."
Chen Feng was naturally not in the mood to deal with her, but he wasn't the type to vent his bad mood on the people around him, so he forced himself to cheer up and said, "I just went to a few streets nearby. I bought some things and then had a hamburger."
"Is that all? You look a little listless. Didn't you do anything else with her?" Luna asked, looking incredulous.
Chen Feng knew, of course, that she suspected he and Brina had done other things, but he was too lazy to explain and simply shook his head and said, "No."
Seeing that Chen Feng seemed a bit off, Luna didn't press the matter further. Instead, she thought of a possibility and asked with a hint of excitement, "Did you have a fight with her this morning? Is that why you seem so down?"
When Chen Feng saw the smile on her face, with a hint of schadenfreude, he was speechless and didn't bother to pay her any more attention.
Seeing that Chen Feng didn't answer, Luna thought she had guessed correctly and her mood immediately improved. She no longer cared about Chen Feng's sour face. She immediately took out her phone, wanting to tell Rebecca the good news.
But as soon as she opened the chat window, she suddenly realized that she hadn't told Rebecca about Chen Feng's womanizing ways, nor had she mentioned Brina. She had no choice but to continue hiding it. Otherwise, Rebecca would definitely look down on her and give her a lecture.
The car wound its way around for quite a while, and it took about 20 minutes to finally arrive at the agreed-upon restaurant. It was a French restaurant, and the decor looked quite upscale. Chen Feng, of course, didn't mind spending a little money on their meal.
The two quickly entered the restaurant. They then saw a beautiful Mexican girl sitting at a table by the window; she had long, flowing hair, bright eyes, and a captivating smile. She was waving at Chen Feng and Luna. Luna immediately ran over excitedly, and the two women began whispering happily in each other's ears.
"How is he? Not bad, right?" Luna asked softly.
Rebecca glanced at Chen Feng and had to nod slightly, saying, "He is indeed very good-looking, really handsome. You've hit the jackpot."
Luna immediately smiled happily.
Chen Feng quickly walked up to them and nodded to Rebecca in greeting: "Hello, Rebecca. I'm Chen Feng. You can call me John. It's nice to meet you. You are indeed a very beautiful girl, Luna is right."
Rebecca immediately gave him a big smile and extended her hand to Chen Feng, saying, "Luna was right. She said you are a very handsome man. I didn't quite believe it before, but now that I've seen you in person, I believe it. You really are a handsome guy. Luna is very lucky."
"Thank you." Chen Feng shook her hand, then let go after about three seconds.
A genuine smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Feng's face. He had just used his information rewind ability on Rebecca as well, and sure enough, Rebecca was a single dog.
For at least the past 33 days, she hasn't had any particularly intimate contact with either men or women. Most of the footage shows her singing in bars or rehearsing in the rehearsal room. A small portion shows her with Luna. It's fair to say her life is very simple. She's either in her rented apartment, in a bar, or in the rehearsal room. It can only be said that this woman indeed has a somewhat eccentric personality and is very dedicated to music, always dreaming of releasing an album, becoming famous, and becoming a big star.
Although I haven't heard her sing live yet, she's persevered and worked so hard for her musical dream. Most importantly, she's undeniably youthful and beautiful, very eye-catching. Therefore, Chen Feng believes that as long as someone supports her and her songs aren't too bad, she has a chance to become famous.
The three of them quickly sat down. Chen Feng sat on one side, and the two women sat on the other. Next, they ordered food. The two women were quite restrained and ordered dishes that weren't very expensive.
After looking at the menu, Chen Feng specifically ordered several expensive dishes. He then asked if they wanted to drink, but Rebecca immediately shook her head and refused. She had to drive and had a performance that evening, so she couldn't drink. Since Rebecca wouldn't drink, Luna naturally wouldn't either, and it wouldn't be fun for Chen Feng to drink alone, so the three of them ordered juice.
Led by Luna, the three of them happily chatted about their lives, mainly about interesting anecdotes. Rebecca had a good first impression of Chen Feng and didn't pry into his private matters, much less set any traps to manipulate him. Therefore, the atmosphere of their conversation was quite pleasant.
……
Meanwhile, in Washington.
Lawrence had just finished lunch and returned to his office building when he received a call from Moore, which he answered immediately.
"Remove all surveillance and monitoring of Chen Feng, including those around him."
Lawrence paused for a moment before asking, "Sir, you've chosen to cooperate with him?"
"Yes. If necessary, I want him to be one of us. So stop all actions that are hostile to him, especially those from your side."
"Okay, sir."
Lawrence readily agreed, while Moore on the other end of the phone hung up immediately.
Lawrence sat back in his office chair, his brow furrowed in thought. He had always been very docile and obedient in front of Moore, even showing a degree of awe.
But deep down, he still disagreed with Moore's decision to cooperate with Chen Feng. After all, Chen Feng was a Chinese man with yellow skin. Even if Chen Feng had a special ability to cure terminal illnesses, what qualifications did he have to cooperate with a big shot like Moore? Even he himself was just a subordinate that Mr. Moore could replace at any time.
Just as he was thinking this, his phone rang again. Seeing it was his eldest son, Job, calling, he answered casually. But as soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard his son's tearful voice on the other end: "Dad, Byron's in trouble. Come quick, he's at Master's Hospital." (End of Chapter)
