Chapter 559 News about Li Shiyun
Seeing that something was off in his expression, Zhang Jianhua asked, "Mr. Ling, you should know this person, right?"
"Not just know him, he’s an old friend!"
Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
After speaking, he looked up at Zhang Jianhua, "Can this case be closed here?"
"If you and Miss Wang decide not to pursue it further, then we can only charge those people with disturbing the peace," said Zhang Jianhua.
"Alright, they’re just small fries, let them suffer a bit and leave it at that!" Ling Feng nodded.
Zhang Jianhua guessed something and nodded, "That’s possible."
"Then we won’t disturb your work any longer and will head back."
Ling Feng stood up and said.
After descending with Wang Wan’er, upon returning to the car, Ling Feng didn’t immediately start the vehicle but frowned in thought.
This matter involved Li Yun, which made things a bit complicated.
Of course, he had no affection for Luo Qiang, but after all, the kid was Li Yun’s son. Now the question was whether to drop the matter, considering her feelings?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off, so Ling Feng turned to look at Wang Wan’er, "This Luo Qiang is Yun’s sister’s son, what do you think I should do?"
"Ah?"
Wang Wan’er was taken aback and bit her lip, "I, I think it’s best to talk to Yun’s sister and listen to her opinion."
Ling Feng let out a bitter laugh, "I thought the same, but if I bring it up, Yun’s sister will surely feel terrible and caught in a difficult position. I don’t want to put her through that."
"Then..."
Wang Wan’er hesitated for a moment, "Then we can only let it go..."
Ling Feng sighed, "Alright, let’s put it aside for now."
After saying this, he started the car and quickly returned to Shahe Village.
The commotion had passed, and the villagers had resumed their work planting herbs.
Several seeders were busy in the field. Seeing this scene, Ling Feng said to Wang Wan’er, "You’ve worked hard during this time. With you in Shahe Village, I believe everyone will soon become prosperous!"
"It’s all thanks to your help, Brother Ling Feng, that we have what we have now. We should be thanking you!" said Wang Wan’er.
"Enough, let’s not be so formal with each other. Once we get through this busy period, I’ll treat you to something good!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Wang Wan’er blushed, thinking to herself that she didn’t need a treat; she just wanted him to be happy!
But being a girl, these were thoughts she could only suppress in her heart, impossible to express.
Ling Feng didn’t stay long in Shahe Village before departing, but before he could return to Shiliu Village, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.
While driving, he answered, "Who’s this?"
"It’s me!"
A voice so familiar it couldn’t be more recognizable came through, and Ling Feng slammed on the brakes in surprise!
"Shiyun, are you back?"
Ling Feng practically crushed the phone in excitement as he shouted.
Indeed, it was Li Shiyun on the other end of the phone. Although she had only said two words, Ling Feng, who had longed for her for over a month, could not mistake her voice.
Li Shiyun chuckled on the line, "I haven’t returned yet; I just called to see how you’ve been doing lately, to see if you, perhaps, missed me."
"Miss you! Of course, I miss you, I dream of you!" Ling Feng declared loudly.
"I miss you too," Li Shiyun said softly.
"When are you coming back? Where are you? Can we video chat?" Ling Feng asked in quick succession.
Li Shiyun fell silent for a moment, "I can only say a few words to you, no video, just wait for me, I will come back as soon as I can!"
"But you..."
Ling Feng hadn’t finished speaking when he heard a busy tone from the receiver, and the call was unexpectedly disconnected!
He panicked all at once and immediately redialed the number only to find he couldn’t get through anymore!
At that instant, Ling Feng was completely bewildered.
Clueless, he leaned on the steering wheel, incessantly redialing that number, but, sadly, he never got through again!
The incident that had just occurred seemed like an illusion, yet it was so clear, compounded by the call history still present in the phone, proving all of it had really happened!
Ling Feng was at a loss, unable to make heads or tails of the situation. If she could make a call, why did she only say those few words? Why couldn’t they video call, even just to see if she had lost weight?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt. Ling Feng looked down at his phone, scrolled for Lu Zihao’s number, and dialed it straight away!
As soon as the call connected, before the other party could speak, he blurted out somewhat frantically, "Brother Lu, I wanted to ask, have there been any developments regarding the matter I entrusted to you last time?"
Lu Zihao was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "What’s going on? Even though I can’t see you, why do I feel like you’re about to burst a vein in your neck?"
"Yes, I just received a call from Li Shiyun, but she hung up after only two sentences," Ling Feng said.
"Oh, is that so!"
Lu Zihao made a remark but did not answer his question.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng had no choice but to continue asking, "Haven’t you figured out what’s going on yet?"
"Don’t be in such a hurry, I will set out for your place tomorrow morning, and we can talk then," Lu Zihao said.
"..."
Ling Feng thought, how could I not be anxious?
But then Lu Zihao spoke again, "Being anxious is no use. Once I explain everything to you, you will understand the difficult position Li Shiyun and Zhou Yi are in, and perhaps, I might even secure an opportunity for you to assist them!"
"What!"
At this, Ling Feng almost stood up inside the car!
If he had this chance, he would drop everything without a second thought and rush to Li Shiyun’s side!
"I said don’t be in a rush. If you’re this agitated, you might miss your chance!" Lu Zihao warned.
"Uh..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng settled down immediately and said with a sheepish smile, "Alright, I won’t rush. I’ll just wait for you at home, and we can meet tomorrow."
After saying this, he quickly hung up the phone, thinking he couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity or he’d be filled with regret!
Taking a deep breath, he restarted his car and soon arrived back at Shiliu Village.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xun Qianqian and Joanna sitting in the inner room, both engrossed in their phones.
Seeing his return, they both stood up at the same time, "You’re finally back!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, "What happened? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing, just wanted to ask when we are going to explore that basin!" Xun Qianqian said.
Ling Feng forced a smile. He was hardly in the mood for it now, but seeing the eager gaze in their eyes and knowing they had been waiting for several days, more anxious than even himself, he chuckled and replied, "There’s nothing pressing right now, so let’s head out now!"
"That’s great!"
Xun Qianqian clapped her small hands and immediately teleported to the Nine Heavens.
However, Joanna didn’t move. She looked at Ling Feng and smiled, "Actually, we could go by ourselves, too. Everyone has made significant progress these past few days, and Qian Qian and I are about to have breakthroughs!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng was startled for a moment, and moving forward, he took her hand, only to discover her Dantian had indeed undergone a change. She was now at the threshold, ready to break through to the Qi Strength Realm!
