Chapter 496: The Strange Ling Feng
Taking advantage of the absence of others, Ling Feng teleported back home, then quickly took a shower to wash away the dirt covering him.
By the time he changed clothes and came out, there was already someone else in the house—it was Xun Qianqian.
"How did you get back?"
Ling Feng was startled for a moment and asked.
"I just went to the Third Layer, what happened there?" Xun Qianqian inquired.
Ling Feng chuckled, "Nothing much, why do you look so anxious?"
"Really?"
Xun Qianqian looked at him seriously, then continued, "It felt like it had been bombarded by rocket launchers, why are there huge pits everywhere?"
"Oh, that’s just training, pretty normal!" Ling Feng laughed.
Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "If you don’t want to talk about it, never mind, but looking at you now, you seem to be fine, right?"
"I’m fine, do I look like there’s something wrong with me?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll go back and let the others know, so they won’t worry about you," Xun Qianqian nodded.
"Let’s go together, I’m free anyway."
Ling Feng made this comment, just as he wanted to teleport with her, the phone rang.
Seeing that the number was Du Song’s, he could only look up at Xun Qianqian, "Looks like that’s not possible, you go ahead, I think I’ve got something to take care of."
"Okay then."
Xun Qianqian nodded her head, and in a flash of light, she disappeared on the spot.
Ling Feng answered the phone, "What’s up?"
"Boss, there’s news about Luo Nanlin!"
"Oh? Tell me quick!"
Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with sharpness as he immediately replied.
"This old guy’s up to no good. Since he couldn’t get Lei Hong’s house, he’s found two other places right next to it. We wouldn’t have known if the original owner hadn’t bragged about it to the neighbors!"
"Not bad, knowing now isn’t too late. Are you sure that old man is there?" Ling Feng asked.
"Confirmed, boss. Do we take action?" Du Song asked.
"Of course, we’re not going to wait for him to celebrate the New Year, are we?"
Ling Feng snorted coldly, then continued, "Wait for me at Longyuan, I’ll be right there!"
"Roger that!"
Du Song sounded even more excited than him.
It was early evening, and Ling Feng got ready to leave the house, jumped in his car, and drove away.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the Longyuan entrance, got out of the car, and went into the courtyard where he saw Chen Ping and Du Song waiting outside.
"The operation is approved, but Ling Feng, don’t forget what I said!" Chen Ping reminded.
Ling Feng broke into a smile, "I know, it’s about taking him alive, right? Don’t worry, if I see Luo Nanlin, I might not even make a move. If he cooperates, I’ll just bring him back for tea!"
"That’s what you said, if anything goes wrong, I won’t let it slide!"
Chen Ping always found Ling Feng’s smile a bit odd, so he warned seriously.
"Alright, Du Song, He Bing, get in the car!"
Ling Feng called out, turned around to get back in the car, and then left Longyuan with the two men.
"Is this kid on a high? Why are his eyes so red?"
Chen Ping stood in the courtyard, muttering to himself with confusion.
Sitting in the car, Du Song also noticed something strange about Ling Feng, feeling that he seemed particularly agitated, so he asked, "Boss, what’s with you?"
"I’m fine!" Ling Feng said calmly, looking straight at the road ahead.
Du Song exchanged glances with He Bing, both appearing perplexed.
Arriving at the southern outskirts of the county, the car stopped on the roadside, and Du Song pointed to a small two-story building in the distance and said, "Boss, Luo Nanlin is in that red house there!"
"How can you be sure?" Ling Feng asked in a deep voice.
"After receiving the wind, I’ve already investigated in secret and had someone scout around. Two days ago, four or five people moved into that small building. One of them walked with a floaty gait. Those who saw it guessed the person must be quite old!" Du Song answered.
Ling Feng turned his head and glanced at him, "What? No one got a clear look at their faces?"
"Yes, they were all wearing masks and hats, completely covering their faces!"
Du Song replied, and seeing Ling Feng’s face darken, he quickly added, "But this piece of information is not just my conjecture, there is solid evidence to back it!"
"What evidence?"
"The original owner of that house was boasting to someone that he sold his house for a million, and when people didn’t believe him, he showed them the contract, which had Luo Sihai’s name on it!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng’s eyebrows rose at this; he hadn’t seen Luo Sihai for a while.
The last time he saw him was when he unintentionally rescued a young girl in the provincial city.
Upon hearing this name, Ling Feng was certain that Du Song’s information was accurate.
Luo Sihai is a strategist for the Luo Family, and if he is buying a house here, it’s definitely related to the Luo Family!
Having confirmed this, the corners of Ling Feng’s mouth curled slightly, "Tell the ones tailing them they can pull out."
"Pull out? Why?" Du Song asked, puzzled.
"Because I’m going to meet Luo Nanlin. I don’t want to accidentally harm them," Ling Feng said indifferently.
Du Song and He Bing looked dumbfounded and hurriedly said, "Boss, didn’t you promise Director Chen..."
"Stop the nonsense and notify them already!"
Ling Feng cut him off, speaking coldly.
Du Song was silent for a moment but then nodded, "Alright, got it!"
A moment later, he looked up, "It’s done, Boss."
"Wait for me here."
Ling Feng said and, pushing the door open, stepped out of the car and walked towards the building..
"Old Du, did you see that? The boss’s walk is full of murderous intent!" He Bing muttered.
Du Song also noticed, propping his chin and asking, "Do you think he wants to kill?"
"I think so!"
"So what do we do? Should we notify the Chief?"
He Bing looked at him, "Are you going to notify?"
Du Song’s eyes rolled, "You do it!"
"I won’t!" He Bing quickly shook his head.
"Neither will I..."
As they were muttering, Ling Feng had already reached the doorway of the small building.
The surrounding buildings were all about ten meters away, and because it was night, each household’s windows emitted a warm light.
This two-story building in front of him was no different, but through the windows, he couldn’t see anyone moving inside.
After standing at the door, Ling Feng took a deep breath and kicked!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the door was kicked open and Ling Feng stepped inside.
Contrary to expectations, the house was silent!
Ling Feng had been ready to strike down anyone rushing out, and seeing the first floor empty, he paused for a moment.
Then he stepped upstairs. The second-floor rooms were also deserted, though there were some signs of daily use, no one was to be seen!
"Damn it, what’s going on?"
Ling Feng scratched his head, feeling surprised.
If the intelligence was correct and these people had moved in, rarely going out, then they should be inside this house right now.
After a brief pause, Ling Feng began searching the ground floor.
With no one on the floor, the only possibility was that everyone was hidden underground!
