第135章 "Shadows Betrayal"

**Chapter 135: The Game of Shadows (Part 26)**

Lin Feng's eyes blazed with fury as he advanced on Xiao Zhan, his fists clenched and ready to strike. "You're telling me that my own comrades were involved in this conspiracy?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.

Xiao Zhan smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Ah, Lin Feng, you're so predictable. You always think everyone who's good to you is also good. But the truth is, in the shadows, everyone has their own agenda."

Lin Feng's face twisted in disgust. He couldn't believe that Xiao Zhan was defending the traitors. "You're just as guilty as they are," he spat, his anger boiling over.

Xiao Zhan shrugged. "Maybe. But I'm the one who can help you get out of this mess. You see, I have... connections. Connections that can help you take down the real culprits."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He didn't trust Xiao Zhan as far as he could throw him, but he was willing to consider any option that might help him bring down the traitors. "What do you propose we do?" he asked, his tone cautious.

Xiao Zhan smiled, his eyes glinting with excitement. "Oh, I have a plan. A little game, you might say. We can use my connections to gather information, and then... we can take our enemies down, one by one."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with interest. A game, huh? He liked the sound of that. But he knew better than to trust Xiao Zhan completely. "I'm in," he said, his tone firm. "But if you're playing me, Xiao Zhan, you'll regret it."

Xiao Zhan chuckled. "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots," he said, his eyes glinting with amusement. "But don't worry, Lin Feng. I'm not playing you. At least, not yet."

As they exchanged words, a figure watched from the shadows, a cold, calculating glint in their eye. Who was this person, and what did they want? Only time would tell.

And as Lin Feng and Xiao Zhan continued to play their little game, the stakes were raised, and the stakes were high. The game of shadows was far from over, and only the strongest would emerge victorious.
