Chapter 707: Shakya Tribe
Ling Feng didn’t even think before rushing in!
As soon as he entered the door, he saw An Xue wearing only a set of white underwear, sitting on the floor.
Du Jiali was grabbing her calf, her gaze intently fixed on her birthmark!
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng asked in astonishment, "What’s going on?"
But Du Jiali didn’t pay attention to him and instead asked An Xue, "You, how come you have this birthmark?"
An Xue was puzzled by the question and shook her head blankly, "I don’t know, I’ve had it since I was little!"
Ling Feng’s brows furrowed as he seemed to realize something and then asked, "How do you know about this birthmark?"
Du Jiali was taken aback, looked up at Ling Feng, and said, "Sorry, family secret, I can’t tell you!"
"..."
Ling Feng was at a loss for words.
Looking at her face, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Is your family really bigger than the Security Bureau, so my orders don’t work either?"
"Sorry, no, sir, could you please step out for a moment, I need to have a private chat with An Xue!" Du Jiali said coldly.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng felt helpless, although he didn’t want to go out, he thought about it and still nodded, "Fine, you two talk, I’ll wait outside."
After saying that, he turned and left the room.
He had only been out for a minute when he saw a flash of light through the crack of the bedroom door!
"Damn it!"
Ling Feng shouted and immediately rushed back into the room, only to find that there was no one inside!
Du Jiali had actually taken An Xue and left through the Teleportation Array!
"You just wait for me!"
Ling Feng was grinding his teeth in anger as he rushed over to the Teleportation Array, ready to follow them, only to find the Spirit Stone had been removed from the pendant he was wearing, and the basketball-sized Spirit Stone that was there before was no longer in the room!
Now Ling Feng was utterly speechless.
Left with no choice, he could only pick up Du Jiali’s tablet, trying to see if he could contact the Security Bureau through it.
He found out it was locked, and without the password, he couldn’t even turn it on!
And his cell phone had been taken by Du Jiali!
Ling Feng was on the verge of going berserk!
Unfortunately, even if he smashed the house now, it would be useless.
No other way, he just had to wait in the house.
As time ticked away, seated listlessly by the window, Ling Feng watched helplessly as the sun rose from the east, the city woke from its slumber, and before long, the streets were bustling with traffic and teeming with people.
At this moment, Ling Feng’s anger was beyond measure, and An Xue still hadn’t come back!
Just as he was preparing to leave to find the local Security Bureau to thoroughly investigate Du Jiali, the bedroom door clicked open, and she came out.
Upon seeing her, Ling Feng immediately stepped forward, cornering her against the wall like a hungry tiger, "Where is An Xue!"
"Commander Ling, I’m sorry, please forgive me!"
Du Jiali said, pitifully, her head lowered.
"Where the hell is An Xue!"
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, ready to take action if she didn’t speak!
Although hitting a woman is highly uncivilized, what she did was too much. She had actually abducted An Xue and hadn’t brought her back!
"An Xue is with my parents, after so many years without seeing her, they wanted to talk to her more!" Du Jiali raised her head and said.
Only then did Ling Feng notice that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Thinking about what she had said, Ling Feng asked in confusion, "What’s going on? Why would your parents want to talk to An Xue?"
"She is my long-lost sister, we have been looking for her for a long time!" Du Jiali said.
"..."
A flash of lightning suddenly streaked through Ling Feng’s mind!
Afterward, he looked at Du Jiali, "Are you the people who left that island back then?"
"Yes."
Du Jiali lifted her head, "Our people are different from humans; this secret has been hidden for hundreds of years, and I ask for your understanding, Officer."
Ling Feng suddenly realized.
The reason An Xue could swim underwater was now clear.
The ability to teleport into Du Jiali’s room, which he initially thought was a random phenomenon, now seemed certain to be due to An Xue’s bloodline!
To confirm his thoughts, Ling Feng asked, "That Teleportation Array of yours, can it only be used by people of your tribe?"
Du Jiali nodded, "Yes!"
"Alright, I understand now!"
Ling Feng let out a wry smile, "In that case, I should be happy for An Xue!"
"Thank you for your understanding."
Du Jiali seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked, "By the way, Officer, would you like some breakfast? I can make it for you."
"No need, I’m not hungry."
At this moment, Ling Feng’s feelings were complex. He sat down beside the bed, pondering his next move.
An Xue would likely go back with him, despite finding her birth parents, because there was another pair of adoptive parents back in her old home. He wondered how she would decide.
As he was pondering, the bedroom door opened again, and An Xue came out with a group of middle-aged men and women.
Seeing her, Ling Feng immediately stood up, unsure of what to say, just looking at her face.
An Xue walked over and threw herself into Ling Feng’s arms, then whispered, "Brother, thank you."
"What are you talking about, you’re being too formal," Ling Feng said with a bitter feeling inside as he patted her back.
"Mr. Ling, I presume? I’m Du Hao, the current Clan Leader of the Shakya Tribe."
An Xue’s father extended his hand politely.
"Hello."
Ling Feng didn’t expect the other party to reveal their identities, unsure of their intentions. Thus, he shook hands but said nothing.
"This is my wife, mother of little Xue and Jiali," Du Hao continued his introduction.
Ling Feng nodded to the woman as well, his mind suddenly stirring!
Because he realized that this woman’s appearance was somewhat similar to the statue he had found!
That’s when Du Jiali spoke up, "Mom, Dad, what brings you here?"
"It was little Xue’s request. She’s unwilling to stay and wants to go back home with Mr. Ling," Du Hao said helplessly.
Du Jiali was a bit surprised but thinking about An Xue and Ling Feng’s previous interaction, she guessed that the two had a romantic relationship and understood.
Then Du Hao said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, since little Xue wants to leave with you, I won’t keep her. Now that you are aware of our Shakya Tribe’s affairs, I’d rather not keep some things secret. Would you come with us to our dwelling to talk?"
"Sure."
Ling Feng thought, I’m quite curious indeed and would love to know what your tribe is all about!
"In that case, please follow us."
Du Hao nodded, turned, and walked back into the bedroom.
Through the Teleportation Array, with a flash of light, Ling Feng found himself on an island.
This island was not far from the coastline; one could still see the tall buildings on the distant shore with the naked eye.
And on this island, rows of buildings were orderly, with modern streets and streetlights. There were cars parked in front of almost every household, indicating a large family community.
"This is where our Shakya Tribe has lived for generations, for hundreds of years now!" Du Hao explained.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Hundreds of years? But An Xue only got separated from you a little over a decade ago, right?"
