Chapter 424 The Story Behind It
Ling Feng was immediately puzzled when he heard it.
Such a big deal, and this kid actually doesn’t dare tell me, having to have Chu Nan speak instead?
After thinking for a bit, he didn’t give Chu Bo a hard time and simply hung up the phone.
He then dialed Chu Nan’s number and this time it was immediately connected.
"Ling Feng, why did you think to call me, are you planning to visit my Chu Family soon?"
Chu Nan’s voice was hearty as he asked with a laugh.
"I received the gifts from the elder, and I’m somewhat flattered, thank you!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Why be courteous, I’m a straight talker, you’re a talented individual and I intend to make your acquaintance, sending some gifts is quite normal, right!" Chu Nan said.
"Since you’re so upfront, then I won’t beat around the bush either. Some people from your Chu Family have popped up here, ostensibly to build a breeding farm, but in reality, they are looking for something. What’s this all about?" Ling Feng asked.
As soon as he finished his question, Chu Nan burst out laughing, "I knew it, I knew it!"
In his heart, Ling Feng sneered, what do you know?
"I wasn’t planning on keeping it from you, knowing you’d find out sooner or later, just didn’t expect it to be so soon. It’s only been a few days of contact and you’ve already caught on!"
"Oh? So can I know what’s going on?" Ling Feng asked.
"Well, not to hide it from you, there’s treasure up in the mountain of that village, and I plan on digging for treasure!" Chu Nan said.
Ling Feng was astonished and couldn’t help but ask, "Really, the elder is into tomb raiding?"
"Ah?"
Chum Nan was taken aback for a moment, then scolded with a laugh, "What are you thinking, you scoundrel, who said anything about tomb raiding? I discovered it based on the clues from ancient texts, there’s something left by a sage from ancient times hidden there!"
"What thing?" Ling Feng was curious and asked subconsciously.
However, no sooner had he asked than he regretted it, how could he casually ask such a thing?
Sure enough, Chu Nan said, "I’m not too clear on that either, merely deducing it from some vague textual records. I’ll have to see what it is after we find it!"
Ling Feng didn’t know whether his words were true or not and chuckled, "No matter what, it must be a treasure, otherwise wouldn’t the four million be thrown away for nothing?"
"Hm? You actually know so clearly?"
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
Ling Feng thought for a bit and felt it was better to tell him the reasons behind it all, so he simply crouched down and went through the events from start to finish.
As he spoke, Zhao Sirui, Wang Lao Kan, and those few bodyguards looked at each other, guessing who he was talking to on the phone but still finding it somewhat incredible.
Especially for Zhao Sirui and Wang Lao Kan, in their eyes, Ling Feng had always just been a country bumpkin from a mountain village. So what if he knew a bit of kung fu, how could he possibly be connected with a power like the Chu Family?
But listening to the content of his phone call, it really did seem like he was communicating with someone from the Chu Family, and that was a bit unsettling.
After Ling Feng had roughly explained the situation, Chu Nan fell silent on the other end of the line for a while before saying, "I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. What do you plan to do now?"
"I’ll tidy up what needs to be tidied up, it’s not really related to the Chu Family, I was just curious and asking around. Leave the rest to me," Ling Feng said indifferently.
Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, "Never mind, since this started because of my Chu Family, leave it, I’ll handle it, it may be more convenient for me than for you."
Ling Feng thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded, "Alright then, I’ll leave it to you."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Zhao Sirui and his bodyguards, "I’m not handling this anymore, someone from the Chu Family will come."
"You, just who are you?" Zhao Sirui’s eyes widened with surprise.
"I’m just a farmer."
Ling Feng gave him a glance, turned around, and left to find Lin Xue.
...
...
The Chu Family handled matters efficiently, and just half an hour later, Wang Lao Kan and his men were taken away by the police from the county city, and the audio-visual evidence collected by the villagers that Lin Xue had gathered was also handed over to them.
As Wang Lao Kan was escorted onto the police car, the entire Shahe Village erupted!
The villagers were banging gongs and drums, and even set off firecrackers.
Hearing the boisterous sound behind him, Wang Lao Kan’s face turned ashen.
Ling Feng couldn’t help but laugh and said, "It seems we haven’t wronged you, I wonder just how many bad things you’ve done over the years to end up with this result today!"
Wang Lao Kan glared at Ling Feng with venomous eyes. His lips moved as if to say something, but he didn’t know what to say, so he simply got into the police car, dejected.
With the matter resolved, Ling Feng was also ready to return home. As he was about to get in his car, the villagers of Shahe Village swarmed around him.
They were all talking at once, meaning the same thing, hoping he wouldn’t leave and asking him to stay for a meal as a way for the villagers to express their gratitude.
Ling Feng politely declined everyone’s invitation and drove away from Shahe Village.
After his car was far away, the people at the entrance of the village gradually dispersed, still expressing their gratitude.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jinhua stood there unmoved, staring in the direction where Ling Feng had disappeared, suddenly having an idea in her mind.
Ling Feng arrived at the police station and waited for Lin Xue to get out of the car, then approached her and said, "Remember to come to my house tonight, Li Yun is leaving tomorrow."
"Why? Is he going back to have a look, or is he never coming back?" Lin Xue asked.
Ling Feng told her about it, and Lin Xue responded, "Oh," then looked at him and said, "So that means you’ll have to travel to the provincial city often in the future?"
"How could that be!"
Ling Feng chuckled and reached out to pat her head, "Since it’s already afternoon, why not just come back to the village with me?"
"That won’t do, I can’t leave my post before the end of working hours!"
Lin Xue pushed his hand away and then waved as she walked into the courtyard of the police station.
Ling Feng smiled helplessly, turned around, got into his car, and quickly returned to Shiliu Village.
In the evening, while he was preparing a big meal at home with everyone, suddenly the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
"Sister Lin Xue is back!"
Li Fei’er called out and ran outside, but then she came back moments later, "Uncle, it’s not Sister Lin Xue, it’s an old man!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was surprised, stood up, and walked outside, only to see the old man standing next to the car with a smile on his face, and he was immediately astonished, "Elder Chu, how come you are here?"
"Just came to see you, am I welcome?" Chu Nan asked.
"Of course, you’re welcome, please come in!"
Ling Feng was quite surprised but knew he must not neglect the ways of hosting a guest, so he quickly said so.
Chu Nan examined the surroundings, and upon entering and seeing a house full of pretty girls, he was momentarily stunned.
However, he soon smiled, "I hope I’m not disturbing everyone?"
Ling Feng smiled, "How could you!"
His words seemed half-hearted, and Chu Nan glanced at him, "Shall we talk outside?"
