Chapter 392 Blonde Beauty
After descending the stairs, Ling Feng hailed a taxi and followed the address in the text message, arriving at the destination in half an hour.
The Demon Capital sub-bureau was located in the downtown area, a skyscraper soaring up to forty or fifty stories. Standing at the foot of the building and looking up, Ling Feng shook his head, "They really don’t cut corners with their spending. Compared to Longyuan, this place is luxurious!"
After his brief sentiment, Ling Feng stepped into the building.
The security department was on the twenty-eighth floor. He entered the elevator and prepared to press the button, only to find that there was no such option on the panel!
"What’s going on?"
Ling Feng was a bit perplexed, staring blankly at the elevator panel.
At that moment, a girl wearing large sunglasses joined him in the elevator. Seeing him looking puzzled, she couldn’t help but ask, "Which floor are you going to?"
"Um, the twenty-eighth floor, but it’s not listed here!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
Seeing her through the dark sunglasses was nearly impossible, but the girl’s lips curved slightly, "First time here? You need to press 27."
She then stretched out her fair, delicate hand, which was extremely attractive, and pressed the button.
Ling Feng couldn’t help but take an extra look at her hand before smiling and saying, "Thank you."
"No need to be polite. I’m also going to the twenty-eighth floor. Just follow me," the girl said with a light chuckle.
"Really? Turns out we are colleagues!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
The corners of the girl’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t say anything.
The elevator moved upwards and quickly reached the twenty-seventh floor. Ling Feng followed the girl out and found a vast circular space with people busy at work.
The workers didn’t seem to notice nor care about the arrival of the two.
Ling Feng followed the girl. After turning a corner, they encountered several young people in uniform standing ahead.
"Identification!" one of them demanded.
Both took out their credentials. After verification with a device and passing through a metal scanner, the girl was cleared, but Ling Feng’s God Slayer Saber was detected!
"Sorry, but you are not allowed to bring any weapons upstairs. Please leave it with us," said the officer.
Ling Feng, speechless, had no choice but to draw the God Slayer Dagger and hand it over.
The girl hadn’t paid much attention initially, but her eyes widened when she saw the dagger’s sheath!
Thankfully, her sunglasses hid her reaction, and no one noticed anything unusual.
After passing the security check, Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and stepped up the stairs.
It had to be said that although it was also a sub-bureau, in terms of size and security, Longyuan really wasn’t comparable.
Even so, Ling Feng only felt as though he had widened his horizons a bit, without feeling too envious of them.
Reaching the twenty-eighth floor, they first entered a long, narrow corridor with a reception desk at the entrance, where a girl was sitting.
"Hello, may I help you with something?"
Upon hearing her voice, Ling Feng knew she was the one who had called him in the morning.
"I was notified this morning. I am Ling Feng."
"I’m Joanna, same as him," the girl said, removing her sunglasses.
Ling Feng was momentarily stunned when he saw her face!
Because the girl was obviously not from Huaxia, but a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner!
At Ling Feng’s expression, Joanna smiled slightly, "Surprised, aren’t you?"
"Uh, the Security Bureau has foreigners too?" Ling Feng asked.
"I grew up in Huaxia, who said I’m a foreigner?" Joanna asked.
Ling Feng was stunned, but could only smile and say, "Alright."
"Please follow me."
The receptionist girl seemed to know Joanna and wasn’t surprised at all, rising to speak.
Watching the two girls walk ahead, Ling Feng quickly followed them.
A foreign face working for the Security Bureau, he couldn’t help but secretly speculate in his mind, "Could this girl be a spy? The kind that operates abroad!"
When they reached a room at the end of the corridor, the receptionist said, "Please come in, the deputy director is already waiting."
Ling Feng was puzzled and had no idea why he was there, so he pushed the door open.
The room wasn’t large, containing only an office desk. Hearing the door open, a young man wearing glasses lifted his head.
Seeing Ling Feng and Joanna, he said expressionlessly, "Please come in."
Ling Feng was surprised, this person seemed to be about his age, yet he was already a director!
"Director Zhang, hello, we meet again."
Joanna said with a smile, sitting down, and Ling Feng followed suit.
On the desk was a nameplate; the deputy director was named Zhang He. Ling Feng saw him grunt without even lifting his head, thinking to himself what’s going on, not even a look for a blonde beauty?
Zhang He looked down at some documents and then lifted his head to say, "Don’t be surprised, the reason you were called here is mainly for two things, one is to introduce the process of today’s meeting, and the second is to ask if you are willing to help."
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised, wasn’t he just here for a meeting? Help with what?
"Sorry, I don’t have time, my schedule is very full today!" Joanna spoke first.
Zhang He seemed not at all surprised and turned to glance at Ling Feng.
"I happen to have time, I just want to ask if it’s voluntary? Is there a reward?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhang He: "..."
Others would either agree or refuse, but he cared most about the reward!
He couldn’t help but look down at Ling Feng’s information again before lifting his head to ask, "Lieutenant Colonel, you’re worth tens of millions yourself, is it necessary?"
Ling Feng was inwardly surprised, not expecting that he knew him so well, but outwardly he hehe’d with a smile, "Of course it’s necessary, you know our place is small and the family’s not rich!"
Joanna looked at Ling Feng in astonishment, not expecting his rank to be lieutenant colonel, nor did she expect him to dare ask the deputy director for money to his face!
Zhang He, who matured early, had an impassive face. He nodded slightly, "Alright then, if Lieutenant Colonel Ling agrees to help, I personally can give you one million in reward."
"No problem!"
Ling Feng smiled and immediately nodded his head.
It seemed the deputy director also came from wealth and wasn’t short of money, so there was no need to be polite with him.
"Good, this is the schedule for tonight and the things to take note of, take a look." Zhang He handed over a document.
Ling Feng stood up to take it, flipping through it casually, and noticed a photo on the back, a woman with no discernible features, prompting him to ask puzzledly, "Who is this?"
"Her nickname is Wildcat, and no one knows this person’s real name or face, but according to reliable information, she has already infiltrated Demon Capital, planning to wait for the chance to steal the Spirit Stone that will be on display at the meeting," Zhang He said.
"An international thief? What’s there to steal with a Spirit Stone?" Ling Feng said incredulously.
Zhang He gave him a look, "Because tonight, a rare high-quality Spirit Stone will be on display."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was even more speechless. Just a high-quality Spirit Stone, what’s so special about it to attract an international thief?
