Chapter 1034: Excluded
Ling Feng was taken aback and saw the youth’s surprised face, so he couldn’t help asking: "What’s wrong?"
"You, you are actually..."
The youth stood up, pointing at Ling Feng’s face full of shock, but didn’t utter anything.
Ling Feng was somewhat speechless too, he shook his head and asked with a smile, "Well, go on, what about me?"
"Your facial features, they are very strange!" said the youth.
"Oh, and then?" Ling Feng asked.
"With your kind of facial features, you should have the fate of an emperor, how could this be!" the youth exclaimed.
Ling Feng: "..."
"Maybe he was an emperor in his last life?" Chen Yan joked from the side.
Ling Feng became even more speechless, throwing her a side-glance: "Stop kidding around!"
After speaking, he turned around and went back to his seat.
He had thought the boy who struck up a conversation was some boring young man, but it turned out to be just a kid, so Ling Feng couldn’t be bothered with him any longer.
He even felt the boy might be somewhat mentally disturbed, getting shocked and startled like that.
At this moment, the front went quiet, not knowing if the youth had been frightened or what, but at least he didn’t bother Chen Yan again.
The train raced along, and by noon, it arrived at Capital City.
Once it halted, passengers began to stand up and disembark, while Ling Feng and the others stayed put.
Because there was still that guy with his acupoints blocked at the back needing to be dealt with, Ling Feng intended to wait until all the passengers had left before handling it.
Once there were only a few people left in the carriage, he stood up and went to the back to lift the person up.
Afterward, he just carried the guy off the train like that.
Chen Yan and Ye Qian both felt this was not appropriate, so they suggested, "Better to unblock his acupoints, you’re attracting too much attention like this."
"Alright then, if he dares to shout and scream, I’ll take care of him again!"
Ling Feng nodded, unblocked the youth’s acupoints, and warned, "If you dare to yell, I’ll make you unable to move again."
"No, won’t yell."
The young man had lost his earlier arrogance and was now shaking with fright.
Ling Feng sneered at him, looking at his bare feet: "Since that’s the case, then I won’t bother with you. You know you were wrong, right?"
"Know it, I know it, I’ll never dare again," the young man nodded frantically like a pecking chick.
"Alright then, off you go."
Ling Feng had thought the kid was tough and was ready to deal with him after leaving the station, but seeing him turn out to be a coward who only acted tough on the surface, he immediately lost interest.
Watching the boy scurry back to the train to fetch his luggage, he turned and led Chen Yan and Ye Qian towards the station exit.
After taking a few steps, Ling Feng looked back and asked the youth who was sneakily following them from a distance, "What do you want to do?"
"No, nothing, just wanted to see where you guys were going!" the youth replied.
"And then?" Ling Feng asked, frowning.
"Then I don’t know."
The youth scratched his head, showing a silly smile.
"Stop following us, just go about your business!"
Ling Feng said with a hint of warning.
He then turned around and continued to walk toward the exit, and this time Chen Yan remarked, "That kid seems to have come from the mountains, saying he was going to seek out some relatives!"
"Oh, seems a bit clueless, looks like he hasn’t seen much of the world," Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Three people exited the train station, and staff from the headquarters were already waiting. Then everyone got into the car together.
The bustling scene of the Capital City was naturally incomparable to that of a small county town. As they weaved through traffic, Ling Feng’s eyes were never idle, always taking in the scenery outside the window.
This was his first time in the Capital City, so naturally, everything he saw was brimming with novelty.
An hour later, the car left the urban area and entered a mountainous area on the outskirts of the city.
They quickly arrived at their destination, a huge compound at the foot of the mountain with no markings, guarded only by two armed police soldiers.
The car did not stop after entering the compound but drove straight towards the mountainside ahead.
As they approached, the mountainside slowly parted, revealing a massive space inside.
This was the true office space of the Security Headquarters, even larger than the mountain hollow space of the research institute Ling Feng had visited before.
After the car came to a stop, Ling Feng saw Han Wancheng already waiting there.
He felt flattered and with a smile said upon disembarking: "Chief, why did you come to meet me in person?"
"How could I not come in person for someone as important as you?" Han Wancheng said with a smile.
"I’m flattered, truly undeserving!" Ling Feng responded with a laugh.
"Alright, let’s skip the pleasantries for now and hurry inside!"
Han Wancheng smiled and turned to walk ahead.
Chen Yan and Ye Qian were meeting such a high-ranking leader for the first time. Both of them looked very nervous, didn’t dare to speak, and hurriedly followed Ling Feng.
The group entered a passageway and after walking a few dozen meters, Han Wancheng led them into a large room.
"You’ve had a long journey, let’s sit and talk!"
Han Wancheng pulled over a chair to sit down, then looked at Ling Feng: "You’ve made a significant contribution this time. I’ve already requested a reward for you from the higher-ups, and I believe it will be approved within the next couple of days."
Ling Feng smiled: "The reward doesn’t matter to me, I’m not in need of money or things anyway, besides, it’s all part of my duty!"
While speaking, he took out the bottle that was stored inside his bracelet and placed it on the table.
"That thing is sealed inside, do you plan to deal with it right away, Chief?"
Han Wancheng nodded and looked at Ye Qian: "Miss Ye, you can set up the Spirit Severing Formation, right?"
"Yes, give me an enclosed space, and I can set it up, it definitely won’t be able to escape!" Ye Qian nodded.
"Very good!"
Han Wancheng nodded in satisfaction, then continued: "Then please go with Xiao Zhang to prepare. Take the bottle with you as well."
"Alright."
Ye Qian was slightly stunned but immediately stood up and left with the bottle.
Ling Feng was puzzled and looked at Han Wancheng questioningly, wondering what was going on and why he wasn’t involved.
Just then, Han Wancheng looked at him and said: "Your task ends here, use this time to enjoy a trip around the Capital City."
"Huh?"
Ling Feng thought he had misheard and looked at him in astonishment: "Boss, you can’t be serious, right?"
"Of course, I’m serious. You went through a lot to catch that evil creature, and since it’s been a success, you should take a good rest!" Han Wancheng said.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself that he was being left out.
So, he asked with a bit of persistence: "Rest doesn’t matter to me; I mainly want to find out the origin and purpose of that thing!"
"You don’t need to worry about that. Enjoy yourself in the Capital City for two or three days, and we will provide you with a report of the situation!"
After saying this, Han Wancheng turned to the staff behind him and ordered: "Prepare a car for Colonel Ling!"
