Chapter 550 - 549: The Missing File
Su Yang fell silent for a moment before saying, "Get me some detailed information about the Ling Family."
"This...," Wang Feng scratched his head, "I’ll try my best to find a way, but I might not be able to gather all the information."
Su Yang said, "I don’t need it to be complete, I just need to know their capital flow."
"Oh, I’ll get on it right away," Wang Feng nodded eagerly, although he was very curious inside, not knowing what Su Yang really meant.
It was clear that this was Su Yang’s first encounter dealing with someone from the Seven Great Families of Zifeng City, meaning he had no old grudges. Under such circumstances, why was Su Yang so interested in the Ling Family?
Honestly, the Ling Family really wasn’t prominent among the Seven Great Families. Whether in literature, martial arts, or business and wealth, they were not distinguished and lacked any representativeness.
Could it be, just because the Ling Family had facilitated the unity of the Seven Great Families, Su Yang started to focus on them? But that didn’t make sense!
In the afternoon, Su Yang went to the city archives by himself; surely there must be some information on a retired soldier like Old Lin.
Upon entering the Archive Bureau and stating his purpose, the portly man sitting behind the desk put on a show of difficulty: "Oh dear, I’m terribly sorry, our records are confidential and cannot be leaked. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this!"
Su Yang remained calm and did not speak. As soon as he entered the door, he had used the Soul Searching Technique to read the man, and he naturally knew that the information was accessible; the issue was simply whether you paid or not.
If it had been earlier, Su Yang would have definitely taken care of the man with a beating, forcing him to produce the information. But that wouldn’t work now; Su Yang couldn’t afford to spook the prey.
