Chapter 1008: Giving You a Task
Yu Linglong was somewhat surprised after listening and bit her lip before saying: "You’re mistaken, I’m sad because I didn’t get to see my father for the last time. As for the throne, I really have no interest in it, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you."
"Oh, but aren’t you worried about the citizens?" Ling Feng asked.
"What’s the use of worrying? Even if I could go back, it’s impossible for me to turn things around. After all, the current King already has his own foundation, which isn’t easily shaken!" Yu Linglong sighed and said.
Ling Feng smiled: "There’s nothing in the world that can’t be solved. As long as you have absolute power, what can’t be destroyed?"
Yu Linglong looked at him deeply, then responded: "I appreciate your kindness, but you have so many things to deal with, you better tend to matters at hand first!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng thought about it and agreed, his own problems were still unresolved, so why should he worry so much about matters of another world?
So he scratched his head: "Okay, but since I’ve promised, if you ever need me, you can find me anytime!"
"Sure, I’ll remember that!"
Yu Linglong nodded, then quietly said: "It’s not early anymore."
"Hmm, you go to rest early, I’ll go to the back!"
Ling Feng nodded, stood up, and left the room.
Watching the back room’s door close, Yu Linglong sat dazed for a while, and then with a sigh, stood up and went to the inner room.
The night passed quickly. Ling Feng woke up in the morning and saw two unread text messages on his phone from Mo Jiaolan.
The messages were simple, conveying the current situation of Lu Yuan.
The guy had remarried, and his wife was already showing a baby bump.
Based on the timing, this fellow had already hooked up with his new wife while he was still married to Lan Fei!
To cast aside the old for the new so quickly was indeed a rarity in the world.
After learning of Lu Yuan’s scumbag behavior, Ling Feng clenched his teeth, thinking to himself that even a stranger, if treated like this, would deserve a dire retribution!
And much more so because the one bullied was Lan Fei, Lu Yuan, you just wait!
After a quick wash, he went to the front, ready to drive to the county town.
He had intended to say goodbye to Yu Linglong, but there was no one in the room. He didn’t know whether she had gone to the Nine Heavens or had gone for a walk in the mountains, so Ling Feng had no choice but to leave and drive away in the SUV.
Upon arriving at Ling Corporation, he went straight to the big conference room on the third floor.
This place had been temporarily refitted to become a vast network of cubicles, each one occupied by a person busily working in front of a computer screen.
None of them were from Ling Corporation but had been transferred from Guo City to help with the investigation of the zombie incident.
As Ling Feng entered, Gu Li, who was working, looked up and saw him.
So, the man immediately jumped up, greeted Ling Feng, and said: "Boss, you’re here, why didn’t you notify me in advance so I could welcome you!"
"Stop with the flattery, I have something for you. Can we talk somewhere?" Ling Feng asked.
"Sure, there’s a private office here, come on!"
Gu Li said, gesturing for Ling Feng to follow.
After entering the office, he drew the blinds, and once Ling Feng sat down, asked: "Boss, do you want to inquire about the progress of the zombie incident?"
"That’s not my responsibility. Arrange for ten people for me later, I want to investigate this guy!"
Ling Feng said and wrote down Lu Yuan’s information on a piece of paper.
Gu Li took it and glanced at it, immediately recognizing Lu Yuan’s identity, then lifted his head: "Why trouble yourself with such a small business owner, boss?"
"This guy is scum. I hope he goes bankrupt, loses everything, and ends up so poor he can’t even afford pants!" Ling Feng said.
"Eh, is he that annoying?"
Gu Li lowered his head to glance at Lu Yuan’s name, remembered it firmly, and then looked up and said, "No problem, Boss. Since you’ve said it, I’ll take care of it perfectly. By the way, should I play dirty?"
"What do you mean?" Ling Feng glanced at him.
"Hehe, like slipping drugs, hitting him with a sap, disabling his brakes, stuff like that," Gu Li said, winking and gesturing.
Ling Feng: "...."
He then glared at Gu Li: "Isn’t that despicable? Don’t use those methods!"
Seeing his stern tone, Gu Li shrank his neck: "It’s not really despicable. American intelligence agents do this kind of stuff all the time. Sometimes to target one person, they’d even sabotage a plane!"
"That won’t do. They’re low, but we can’t stoop to their level. That Lu guy is nothing but a jerk. Just start with the bad things he and his family have done. That’ll take care of them just fine!" said Ling Feng.
"Alright, however you say it, Boss, that’s how we’ll do it!"
Gu Li nodded and then asked, "Shall I go set things up now?"
"Go ahead. Remember to report any progress to me. Oh, and there will be rewards for all of you after this matter is settled!" Ling Feng said, standing up.
"There’s no need for rewards, it’s our duty!" Gu Li said with a smile.
Ling Feng gave him a look: "Is it now? Well, in that case, let’s cancel your reward, but the others will still get theirs!"
"Hey, no, I want it, is that not allowed?" Gu Li hurriedly said.
Ling Feng chuckled without answering any further and turned to leave the room.
He then took the elevator upstairs, directly to Mo Jiaolan’s office.
She was busy working when he arrived. Upon seeing him, Mo Jiaolan put down her pen: "How come you didn’t give a heads-up before coming?"
"I wanted to see what you’re really like when you’re working!"
Ling Feng smiled, closed the door casually, and then asked, "I’m not interrupting your work, am I?"
"If I say yes, would you turn around and leave?" asked Mo Jiaolan.
"Hehe, I would sit down and watch you work until you’re done!" Ling Feng plopped onto the sofa, sprawling out as he spoke.
Mo Jiaolan gave him a ’I-knew-it’ look, stood up to pour a cup of water, and then walked over to hand it to him: "Have you figured out how to deal with that Lu Yuan?"
"I’ve left that to Gu Li to handle. I’m just waiting for his news!" Ling Feng took the water and casually wrapped his arm around her waist.
Mo Jiaolan sat directly on his lap and then said with a laugh: "You really are used to being a hands-off manager!"
"Mainly because that Lu guy isn’t worth my time. He’s not at my level!" Ling Feng laughed.
"That’s true. Your thinking like this shows you’ve improved a lot!"
Mo Jiaolan nodded and then looked down at Ling Feng: "Since you’re here, do you want to go check on Lan Fei’s work progress in the finance department?"
"Stop kidding around. I helped her out of conscience, definitely not to rekindle old flames!" Ling Feng quickly shook his head.
"Is that so?"
Mo Jiaolan smiled teasingly and poked his forehead: "You actually have times when you behave?"
"What kind of talk is that? I’m always well-behaved, okay?"
Ling Feng couldn’t stand her teasing gaze, put down his cup, and embraced her.
