Chapter 475: Indeed a Bit Strange
After daybreak, the two who had fallen asleep in each other’s arms woke up at the same time and exchanged a smile.
"Did you sleep well?" Ling Feng asked.
Li Yun nodded, "I haven’t slept this peacefully in a long time."
To tell the truth, ever since she had returned from Shiliu Village, she indeed had not had a restful sleep.
There were many complex factors involved, pertaining to psychological issues, which are difficult to resolve.
But with Ling Feng’s arrival, the problem was solved with ease.
Hearing Li Yun’s words, Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Don’t think too much, there’s nothing that can’t be solved, trust me!"
"So, what do you plan to do?" Li Yun asked.
"I’ve thought about it. First, I’ll ask Sister Lan about the situation, and then you can ask the workers below. Even if Luo Laoye is as elusive as a ghost, he couldn’t have left without any clues!" Ling Feng said.
With him around, Li Yun felt like she had found her backbone, so she nodded, "Alright!"
As they had slept in their clothes, they got out of bed and went to wash up, quickly getting ready.
Ling Feng sat down on the sofa in the living room and dialed Zhang Lan’s number.
"Sister, what are you busy with?"
"Just finished breakfast, getting ready to head to the company, what’s up?" Zhang Lan asked.
"I need to talk to you about something, I’ll wait for you outside the manor," Ling Feng said.
"Hmm?"
Detecting something from his words, Zhang Lan asked with confusion, "Are you in the provincial city?"
"Yes, came last night, let’s talk when we meet," Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, five minutes."
After saying that, Zhang Lan hung up the phone.
After a while, she drove out of the manor and parked next to Ling Feng’s imposing vehicle.
Once in the car, Zhang Lan looked at the grinning Ling Feng and asked, "You came last night? Then where did you stay?"
"In Li Yun’s room," Ling Feng said with a smile.
Zhang Lan was taken aback and her eyes widened, "But I thought..."
Ling Feng knew she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "It’s not what you think, nothing happened last night!"
After the explanation, he continued, "Sister, have you also felt that something’s been off with the Luo Family lately?"
Zhang Lan looked a bit lost and after thinking said, "I’ve been leaving early and returning late, haven’t noticed anything unusual."
Glancing at Ling Feng, she went on, "How about this, you come with me to the company, and later I’ll call Qian Yu to inquire if she knows anything."
"That works!"
Ling Feng smiled, having come this far, no matter what, he intended to figure out what was happening with the Luo Family. He couldn’t let his woman be in a risky situation, could he?
The two cars drove one after the other towards the downtown area. Once they arrived, Ling Feng followed Zhang Lan into the office.
This was Ling Feng’s first visit to her company. The staff members were surprised to see a young man accompanying their boss and showed expressions of curiosity.
Those looks were obvious; they were all speculating about Ling Feng’s identity!
After entering, Zhang Lan said, "Take a seat, I’ll come back once I’ve arranged today’s work."
"All right," Ling Feng nodded.
Once Zhang Lan had gone out, he turned his head to have a look at the office and noticed several photos hanging on the wall behind the desk, so he got up and walked over.
It turned out they were all of Luo Qianyu, from when she was two or three years old up to her becoming a teenager, a picture for every stage.
Ling Feng found it amusing, "So this is what the girl looked like when she was little, eh?"
Just as he was looking, Zhang Lan came back from outside, "I just asked Qian Yu."
"And?" Ling Feng turned around and asked.
"She said that Uncle Luo indeed has been a bit off these last couple of days..."
Normally, Luo Beihai’s so-called seclusion was just spending about ten hours a day locked in his room, but he typically still came out and the people of the Luo Family could see him.
But for the past two days, he suddenly stayed behind closed doors, no longer seen by anyone.
Especially this morning, when Luo Qianyu wanted to wish him good morning, she knocked on the door for quite a while but no one answered.
Hearing all this, Ling Feng could not help but think of Luo Nanlin’s disappearance.
What was going on with these two brothers suddenly acting so oddly?
After thinking for a bit, he looked up at Zhang Lan and said, "Something’s definitely abnormal, I need to go check it out!"
"Then I’ll come with you," Zhang Lan said.
"No need, don’t you go home for now. In a minute I’ll have Li Yun come out from her home too. Until we figure out what’s happening, none of you should go back!" Ling Feng said.
Zhang Lan was startled, "Is that necessary?"
"It is!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Now it’s not just Li Yun’s feeling, I’m also sensing that something is off!"
"Well, okay, be careful," Zhang Lan advised.
Leaving the company, Ling Feng got in the car, ready to return to the Luo family estate, when his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing it was Zhang He calling, he answered and asked, "Chief Zhang, is there something you need me for?"
"You haven’t been running around lately, right? I’m planning to come visit you, wait for me at home," Zhang He said.
"Huh? How does Chief Zhang have the time to visit me all the way from the Demon Capital?" Ling Feng wondered.
"Surprise, right? You’ll know what’s up once we meet!" Zhang He laughed.
Ling Feng laughed too, "Then you’re out of luck, I’m not at home; I’m in the provincial city now!"
Zhang He: "..."
He quickly asked, "Where exactly are you in the provincial city? I just landed and was about to find a ride to your place. Good thing I didn’t leave yet!"
Now it was Ling Feng’s turn to be speechless, "You come to our provincial city and only think to call me now? Couldn’t you have made an appointment? Don’t you know I’m very busy?"
"Spare me, what could you possibly be so busy with? Just digging for treasures and flirting with girls!" Zhang He laughed.
"Uh... although I don’t like to hear it, you seem to be quite right about that!"
Ling Feng chuckled and then asked, "Where are you? Give me the address, and I’ll come pick you up!"
After giving the address, Ling Feng hung up the phone, muttering to himself with a puzzled face, "What’s with this guy, making a special trip to see me? What could it be about?"
With this curiosity in mind, he drove to the location Zhang He had mentioned.
Half an hour later, Ling Feng saw Zhang He standing by the roadside in casual wear, carrying a laptop bag and nothing else.
Seeing Ling Feng’s car approaching from a distance, Zhang He came to the door as soon as the car stopped and got into the passenger seat.
As their eyes met, Ling Feng immediately asked, "So, tell me, what are you here for?"
"Haven’t seen you in a long while, just came to check on you, why the guarded face?" Zhang He inquired.
Ling Feng forced a smile, "Please, you, a deputy bureau chief and a favorite in the eyes of the bureau chief, would have time to come see me in the countryside?"
"If you don’t believe it, forget it!"
Seeing Zhang He wouldn’t speak, Ling Feng didn’t ask further. He started the car and said, "Well, you’re here to see me, and now that you’ve found me, I just happen to have something to take care of, so you’ll just have to lend me a hand, Chief Zhang!"
