The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Zhang He was stunned on the other end of the line, "Don’t make it sound so serious, what kind of big deal can happen in the middle of the night?"

"I’m serious!"

Ling Feng said in a determined voice and crouched down.

"Then tell me, I’ll do what I can," Zhang He replied.

"I want you to help me investigate Li Shiyun’s family background, and also a secret of the Li Family!"

Zhang He was taken aback again, "What do you mean?"

"Never mind what I mean, can you help me or not?" Ling Feng asked.

"I’ll try."

Zhang He only said three words before hanging up the phone directly.

Ling Feng was startled for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

This guy was really straightforward, not hesitant at all.

Ling Feng looked up at the star-filled sky and let out a slight sigh.

Although he told Li Shiyun that he wouldn’t meddle in the matters of the Li Family, in reality, that wasn’t what he was thinking.

Even if he couldn’t leave, unable to accompany her, he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing, watching her leave him.

So, since the matters of the Li Family were shrouded in such secrecy, Ling Feng decided to investigate them using his own methods, to find out exactly what was going on, and then find a way to keep Li Shiyun!

After waiting quietly for about half an hour, his phone vibrated just before the ringtone could sound, and Ling Feng immediately answered, "How did it go?"

"Is Li Shiyun’s grandfather called Li Wannian?" Zhang He inquired.

"Yes!"

"Oh, well, this might be a bit difficult to handle then..."

Zhang He let out a wry laugh before continuing, "I looked up the information, but when it came to a crucial point, I discovered my clearance wasn’t high enough!"

Ling Feng: "...What do you mean?"

"It means that the matters of the Li Family are classified at the highest level of secrecy; I, as the deputy director of the sub-bureau, don’t have the clearance to access it..."

"..."

Having harbored some hope, Ling Feng was left bewildered by the answer he received.

Hearing his silence, Zhang He gave a wry smile, "Don’t rush, if I don’t have the clearance, it doesn’t mean others won’t, you could still ask around."

"Who?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled.

"That, you’ll have to figure out yourself, I can’t afford to remind you, after all, I can’t afford to offend her!"

Zhang He chuckled and once again hung up the phone.

Ling Feng was speechless, but after a moment’s thought, he understood; the person Zhang He was referring to must be Zhou Yi!

This woman had a special identity within the Security Bureau; if a sub-bureau chief didn’t have the clearance, then she was the only option left!

But recalling the grudge between them, Ling Feng hesitated again.

Approaching her for help could mean a ninety-nine percent chance of getting a door slammed in his face!

The remaining one percent chance depended on whether she was in a good mood or not.

Ling Feng stood quietly in the night for a long time and, after much consideration, decided to seek her out!

For Li Shiyun, it didn’t matter if he hit a wall; even taking a beating was worth it, as long as he could find out exactly what was going on!

Having made up his mind, Ling Feng left the village committee office yard and headed straight for Huaihua’s place!

He knew that Li Shiyun was asleep and wouldn’t wake up for a while, so she wouldn’t notice him leaving; by the time she woke up, he would have already returned.

A moment later, Ling Feng arrived at Huaihua’s front door. Zhou Yi’s house next door had been completed except for some finishing touches.

Seeing her car parked outside, Ling Feng knew she was there. He moved lightly and leaped, landing silently in Huaihua’s yard.

Although he didn’t know which room Zhou Yi was sleeping in, Huaihua and her daughter were ordinary in constitution and definitely wouldn’t notice him in their deep sleep. So Ling Feng deliberately made his footsteps a bit louder, hoping to alert Zhou Yi.

Indeed, before he even reached the door, he suddenly detected the sound of something slicing through the air. He instinctively ducked his head and felt an object whizz past rapidly just above him!

After dodging, Ling Feng immediately pivoted and burst out of the courtyard wall.

At the same time, a dark shadow rapidly approached him from behind!

"Don’t panic, it’s me!"

Seeing the figure, Ling Feng quickly stopped in his tracks and spoke.

"You?"

Hearing his voice, Zhou Yi was taken aback for a moment, then stepped closer and asked, "What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Hey, you’re talking to a lady, can you not curse?" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.

Zhou Yi rolled her eyes: "Get lost, I’m in a bad mood, and I’ll swear if I want to!"

"Alright, alright!"

Since he needed her help, Ling Feng didn’t dare to confront her directly and could only nod in resignation.

"Huh? You seem a bit off today. Do you need something from me?"

Noticing something was amiss, Zhou Yi asked, cocking her head.

"Cough cough, well, there is indeed something..." Ling Feng said with an embarrassed chuckle.

Zhou Yi uttered an ’Oh,’ turned, and walked towards her car, "Let’s talk in the car. Standing out here in the middle of the night looks suspicious like we’re up to no good!"

"Alright then."

Ling Feng nodded and followed her into the car.

Zhou Yi pressed the ignition button, and the engine buzzed to life, then she looked at Ling Feng, "It’ll warm up in a minute."

"Mhm."

He hadn’t expected her to be so considerate; Ling Feng almost forgot that this woman had just cursed at him.

Seeing Zhou Yi staring straight at him, he pondered for a moment before saying, "I wanted to ask for your help with something."

"Okay!" Zhou Yi nodded.

"Uh... don’t you want to know what it is?" Ling Feng asked.

Zhou Yi looked at him, "If you would condescend to find me, it must be something tough to look into, and only I can do it. You’ve done your homework already, right?"

"That’s correct. I thought you would refuse, but I didn’t expect you to agree so readily!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.

"Even though I agreed, it’s conditional!" Zhou Yi’s eyes glinted with a hint of slyness, and she spoke with a smirk.

"What condition?" Ling Feng asked.

Zhou Yi smiled, "Give me your Alchemy Furnace, and I’ll help you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately opened the car door and got out, "Then forget it!"

"Get back here!"

Zhou Yi got anxious, reached out to grab him, and firmly caught the hem of his clothes, pulling him back into the car.

"Can’t you take a joke? I was just scaring you!"

Ling Feng was speechless, "Can you not mess around?"

Zhou Yi gave him a look, "Fine, I know the Pill Furnace is your life, I definitely couldn’t ask for it. But let’s get one thing straight, whenever I want to do alchemy in the future, you have to deliver it to me right away, no conditions!"

"No problem. I already agreed to that before. I always keep my word, never going back on my promises!"

"Fine, tell me, what do you want me to look into?" Zhou Yi asked.

Relieved that she truly wanted to help, Ling Feng didn’t beat around the bush and recounted the situation from start to finish, concluding with, "Right now, I only have one thought—I don’t want Li Shiyun to leave, so we have to come up with a solution!"

Zhou Yi clicked her tongue, "Surprising. You’re quite infatuated, aren’t you!"

"Uh, and what was your previous opinion of me, that I was some sort of playboy?"

Zhou Yi rolled her eyes, "Pretty much, but even if not a playboy, at the very least, a big male chauvinist pig!"
