What Luo Feng hadn’t expected was that the gang leader the girl had offended turned out to be none other than Andy!

This coincidence was so extreme that Luo Feng immediately suspected it was some sort of ruse by Andy.

After all, he had previously used the same tactic to plant undercover agents among his enemies. Now facing this all too familiar strategy, he knew he needed to be vigilant.

Luo Feng then delved into some details about the theft. The girl answered smoothly, with no apparent inconsistencies. Yet, despite her clarity, Luo Feng’s suspicion was not allayed.

However, he wasn’t overly concerned about her.

Even if she was an insider planted by Andy, so what?

Even if this youngster was well-trained, she definitely couldn’t pose any substantial threat to Luo Feng.

If she wasn’t an undercover agent, then all was good. If she was, keeping her close might yield some unexpected benefits.

“I know this Andy you’re talking about,” Luo Feng began, observing her reaction closely, “And I have some scores to settle with him.” Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, “Then can you take me to confront him?” She seemed very eager, but Luo Feng was firm in his refusal.

“Please, I don’t even know who you are. How could I possibly take you on such a mission?”

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly introduced herself, “My name is Luna. As for my identity, I’ve already told you. I’m a pickpocket. The gang that took me in now finds me a nuisance and has kicked me out.”

“I don’t really harbor great animosity towards Andy. If he’s willing to let me go, I might even leave this city. But clearly, as someone involved with a gang, just like those I’ve betrayed, he definitely won’t let me off easily. Instead of waiting for doom, it’s better to strike first. That’s why I want to confront Andy.”

Seeing Luo Feng’s hesitation, Luna grew impatient and exclaimed, “What do I need to say for you to trust me? I don’t want to live like this, constantly fighting and killing. But I had no choice. I was raised by the gang!”

“If you’re willing to help, then help. If you’re afraid of Andy’s influence and think you can’t handle him, just give me a gun. I’ll handle my own troubles.”

After her lengthy plea, Luo Feng, looking at her, broke into a smile. “Why are you so anxious? I never said I wouldn’t help.”

Hearing this, Luna’s eyes sparkled, “Tomorrow afternoon, I have an appointment with Andy. You can accompany me as my assistant. I’ll take the lead. I’ll bring up your issue when I get a chance. If it can be resolved peacefully, that’s best. If not, you must follow my lead and not act rashly.”

“Okay, okay! Don’t worry, I’ll listen!”

Luna seemed much happier. Watching her, Luo Feng was struck by a pang of nostalgia. She reminded him of Alice, who was about the same age as Luna. However, their lives couldn’t be more different. Alice was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, while Luna was an orphan who didn’t even know her parents.

“Alright, you can go for now. Come here tomorrow at noon, and I’ll take you to see Andy,” Luo Feng said.

Luna hesitated, “Honestly, I have nowhere to go. I was temporarily staying at a junkyard, but they found me this morning. If you don’t mind, can I stay here for the night?”

Although she asked, she had already made her way into Luo Feng’s room.

Luo Feng could have sent her away, but he chose not to.

After all, turning away a homeless teenage girl was not something he was willing to do.

He initially considered getting a separate room for Luna, but then realized she had no identification. Therefore, she couldn’t book a room and had to stay in his.

“You can stay here tonight,” Luo Feng said, “But try not to make any noise. If you attract the attention of Andy’s people, I won’t help you.”

With a joyous expression, Luna quickly entered the hotel room, “Don’t worry, I’ll behave!”

It seemed like Luna hadn’t slept in a proper bed for a long time. As soon as she entered the room, she flopped onto the bed, savoring the comfort. Watching her, Luo Feng didn’t have the heart to disturb her.

In the end, Luo Feng prepared a blanket for himself and slept on the floor.

When Luo Feng woke up the next day, Luna was still fast asleep, probably having the most peaceful sleep she’d had in years..
