Chapter 1707 - 1706: Changed His Mind
After sitting down, Ling Feng informed Catherine about the situation, and then locked his divine sense onto the room where Jack Ross was.
The man and woman were done and opened the door to let the two people outside in.
Unfortunately, they were speaking French, which Ling Feng couldn’t understand.
But he had recently acquired the ability to quickly learn languages, so after listening for a while, he gradually began to understand what they were saying.
A few minutes later, Ling Feng could fully understand their conversation and realized that the woman was indeed from the French team.
Judging by her demeanor, her status in the team was not low!
Ling Feng was a bit astonished and focused intently on their conversation, slowly realizing that the woman was Jack Ross’s girlfriend. They were in a cross-national romance, and the superpower user competition provided them with an opportunity to meet.
As for what happened last night, these people didn’t mention it and only talked about some things related to the competition.
After listening for a while, Ling Feng found it somewhat uninteresting and contemplated going upstairs directly to confront these people. After all, he had evidence, so he didn’t worry about them denying it.
But before he could move, he suddenly heard Jack Ross asking the two returned men, "Can tonight’s action be guaranteed?"
"Rest assured, we don’t have any competitions today, everyone has rested well, just for tonight!" one of the men said.
"Great!"
Jack Ross nodded, "If this is accomplished, it would be a big help to me, and I will definitely thank you all properly!"
"Mr. Ross, you are too kind. It’s our honor to serve your family!" the man said with a flattering smile.
With such praise, Jack Ross showed a smug smile and then nodded, "Okay, since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. Depart at ten tonight, we’ll meet at Eagle Beak Rock!"
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly changed his mind.
Jack Ross had deep connections with the French people, and last night’s incident likely involved him. Hearing that these people had something going on tonight, Ling Feng decided not to rush his revenge.
Getting back at the French while Jack Ross incurs no loss would be uneconomical, wouldn’t it?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng turned to Catherine and said, "Let’s go back first and return tonight!"
"Huh? Why?"
Catherine asked in confusion as Ling Feng took her hand and walked out of the hotel.
As they walked, Ling Feng quickly briefed her on the situation.
After listening, Catherine nodded, "Right, we can’t let Ross get away with it, we’ll catch them all in one go tonight!"
"Most importantly, I want them to suffer heavy losses!"
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "Just snatching the City of Gold wasn’t exciting enough, let’s do it again tonight!"
Hearing this, Catherine couldn’t help but tease, "Oh, is that what it’s about?"
"Getting benefits is one part, but it’s also about dealing with them!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, I get it now. So you really can’t resist when you see something lucrative!" Catherine remarked.
The two got into the car and quickly drove back to the hotel, where Chu Xing and the others had already returned.
Ling Feng briefly explained what happened and then told everyone, "You can go back at ease; I’ll handle things here in America. Once we’re back, I’ll have Jiaolan throw you a good celebration!"
"Boss, take care of yourself. We’ll wait for you at home!" Chu Xing said.
"Alright, once back, we’ll share some drinks!" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
With the mission complete, there was no need to stay, so everyone packed up. Ling Feng took out the Teleportation Array and watched everyone leave.
After everyone was gone, Ling Feng and Catherine sat down and checked the time.
It was now one in the afternoon, nine hours until Jack Ross and his group’s action began.
"How do you plan to spend the time?" Catherine asked Ling Feng.
Ling Feng looked at her, "What do you think?"
Catherine gave him a flirtatious look, yet said, "I don’t know either!"
"Stop it!"
Ling Feng looked into her eyes, "Your gaze has already betrayed you; I know what you’re thinking!"
"Really? What am I thinking then?" Catherine asked coquettishly.
"You’re thinking about things not suitable for children," Ling Feng chuckled, then patted her head, "Unfortunately, I don’t have the time right now; let’s wait until tonight!"
"Huh? What are you going to do?" Catherine asked.
"There are still some things not dealt with since coming back from the City of Gold," Ling Feng said as he pulled a gold brick from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table, "I’ve promised to distribute these to Rick and the others; I’d better use the free time to do that!"
"Oh, so how do you plan to do it?" Catherine asked.
Ling Feng shook his head, "I don’t know. You’re familiar with things here in America. Can this be shipped or forwarded?"
"Well, it can be done, and shipping companies generally don’t check what’s inside, but you should package it well. If it falls and exposes the gold, it would cause trouble!" Catherine advised.
"What, could it get lost?" Ling Feng asked.
"Not really, but if someone with bad intentions sees it and gets greedy, it wouldn’t be good for them to come and rob the house," Catherine said.
"True!"
Ling Feng agreed, then said, "How about this? Let’s go buy some wood and nails this afternoon; I’ll make some sturdy wooden crates, hopefully ones that won’t break even if they fall from the sky!"
"Alright, I’ll give you a hand," Catherine laughed and readily agreed.
Then the two went downstairs and headed straight to the lumber market.
An hour later, a truck loaded with wood arrived at the hotel entrance, leaving the manager and Arthur’s team dumbfounded!
However, adhering to the customer-first principle, and given that Ling Feng spent hundreds of thousands of US Dollars in the past few days, the manager immediately arranged for the wood to be delivered to Ling Feng’s presidential suite.
Not long after they finished, the staff heard a series of clangs coming from Ling Feng’s room!
Everyone who heard the sound was baffled, wondering why such a big boss like Ling Feng was so interested in carpentry.
After an afternoon of work, Ling Feng made dozens of wooden crates, all tightly packed with gold inside.
Next, Catherine contacted a freight company, which brought cranes to load the boxes onto a truck in batches.
The address was given to the person in charge, a substantial shipping fee was paid, and now it was just a matter of waiting for them to deliver the gold to Rick and the others’ homes.
After finishing all this, it was already eight in the evening.
