Chapter 477: Hurrying is Useless
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Isn’t there still one left?"
Zhang He looked down at the person at his feet and asked in a deep voice, "You don’t want to end up like him, do you?"
"Heh heh!"
Already severely injured, that person actually revealed a sinister smile!
Just as Zhang He realized something was wrong, the other’s body suddenly started convulsing violently!
"Damn it!"
Ling Feng, who had just been smug, now rushed over quickly!
But unfortunately, by the time he got close, the man had already breathed his last!
Bending over to check his pulse, he found the man’s heart meridian had stopped; he had actually killed himself!
Ling Feng was speechless. He stood up and looked at Zhang He: "Now we’re screwed!"
"I told you not to be in such a rush to kill. Look, isn’t there still one left?" Zhang He turned his head to look at the person from before.
At this point, his face was ashen. If he hadn’t been leaning against the wall, he probably would have slumped to the ground.
Ling Feng looked at him and stepped forward, "You wouldn’t also be thinking of killing yourself, would you?"
"M-Mr. Ling, I’m just a follower, just an ordinary person, and I don’t know anything!" the man explained frantically.
Assessing his gaze intently, Ling Feng turned back to look at Zhang He: "He seems to be telling the truth."
"Really?"
Zhang He smiled, stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and dragged him into the house.
As the door closed, the Luo Family members who had run over from afar were all stunned!
Some people had noticed the fight earlier, so they had all rushed over.
But by the time they reached the door and saw the two dead bodies, corpses of the Luo Family’s strongest experts, everyone looked at each other in dismay, with no one daring to make a sound!
Meanwhile, Ling Feng and Zhang He had already begun the interrogation.
Ling Feng had thought this youngster wouldn’t know much, but to his surprise, as Zhang He questioned him sentence by sentence, he couldn’t withstand the pressure and confessed!
Luo Beihai was indeed missing, and it had happened between last night and this morning!
Last night Luo Nanlin came over, went upstairs, and never came down again. By this morning, those two Hua Energy experts had found this attendant and told him that from today on, Luo Beihai wouldn’t see anyone; no one was allowed upstairs, no matter who it was.
But as for where Luo Beihai and Luo Nanlin had gone, this person didn’t know.
However, he still provided Ling Feng with a valuable clue.
There was a secret tunnel in this house, a fact almost unknown to the members of the Luo Family, with only two or three people in the know!
Hearing this, Ling Feng and Zhang He immediately went to the basement, found the entrance to the tunnel, and proceeded to go through it.
When they emerged on the other end, they found themselves outside the manor in a desolate wilderness.
"What the hell is this all about?"
Ling Feng was completely confused, scratching his head.
But Zhang He was very calm, smiling slightly, "No matter what’s going on, things are definitely getting more interesting."
"Interesting? Right now I just want to figure out what’s going on, what’s the use of it being interesting!" Ling Feng rolled his eyes.
"You think getting anxious is going to solve the problem?" Zhang He looked at him.
He had a point, so Ling Feng could only scratch his head: "Okay then, you’re the deputy chief after all, you must have more experience than me, you have to help me with this!"
He had thought Zhang He would immediately agree, but instead the latter just smiled: "Why should I? It’s true I came to see you, but I don’t owe you anything!"
Ling Feng: "..."
Afterward, he looked helplessly at Zhang He: "Quit it, you definitely need something from me, why the mystery? If you don’t help me, don’t expect me to help you!"
Zhang He looked at him: "You’re not stupid at all!"
"Nonsense, do I look like a fool to you?" Ling Feng glared at him.
"Alright, but I’m really curious, what’s your relationship with the Luo Family? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang He asked.
"Originally, I didn’t have much to do with them, but Luo Beihai treated me pretty well back then. That’s not the main reason, though. First, I have my own plans, and second, I’m just curious. Does that satisfy you?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhang He nodded and said indifferently, "It’s all for a woman, isn’t it?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng’s face turned red, and he simply put on a bachelor’s face, "If you’re going to put it that way, then I can’t help it!"
"Let’s go back first and talk about it. This can’t be rushed; there are too few clues!"
Zhang He smiled, and after speaking, he turned around, leaped over the wall, and returned to the Luo family estate.
By this time, the Luo family was in chaos. The two old men in charge were not around, and both Zhang Lan and Li Yun had gone to their respective companies, leaving no one to take charge.
Seeing Ling Feng return, one of the middle-aged men hurried over and asked loudly, "Mr. Ling, what exactly is going on?"
"Who are you?" Ling Feng asked.
"I’m the butler, Tian Hua, in charge of the daily operations here!" the man said.
"Good, first have someone take care of the two bodies. Don’t be in a rush to find out about the old man; there will be news of them soon!" Ling Feng said.
Tian Hua hesitated a bit, "Then I’d better wait for a call from Zhang Lan..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng knew he had already made the call but hadn’t gotten through.
So he smiled, "Suit yourself."
After speaking, he turned and got back into the car, soon leaving the estate.
"What do we do now?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhang He was composed, "Both old men are missing, and it’s hard to speculate what happened, but they definitely don’t want to be found, so you staying here is pointless!"
Ling Feng, "So what next? I just go home and wait?"
Zhang He gave him a look, "Don’t forget your identity. With things like this, the Security Bureau can get involved!"
"That’s true, I’ll make a call later!"
Ling Feng said and then drove into the city.
Arriving at the base of Li Yun’s company building, he stopped the car, "Director Zhang, wait for me a moment, I have something to take care of!"
"Okay."
Zhang He didn’t ask further, just nodded his head.
Half an hour later, Ling Feng came down, drove to Zhang Lan’s place and said apologetically, "I have to go up again; please wait a little longer!"
"Sure!"
Another half hour passed, and Ling Feng came down and started the car, "Since you’re going to my place, let’s just head home first!"
Zhang He looked at him, "Is everything arranged?"
"That’s right!"
Ling Feng nodded his head.
After getting on the highway and setting the cruise control, Ling Feng turned to look at Zhang He, "Still not willing to tell me what you need me for?"
"You’re really curious!"
Zhang He smiled and then said, "I do need you for something. Remember the Alchemy Furnace you got last time?"
"Yeah, you’re not thinking of laying a hand on it, are you? They’ve already promised it to me!" Ling Feng was on guard!
"Don’t be so tense. I’m not going to compete with you over it. I just want to use your Pill Furnace to refine something!" Zhang He said casually.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was shocked and turned to ask incredulously, "You can refine pills?"
