Chapter 1052: Tracking
Duan Feihong realized the gravity of the situation, so she looked at Ling Feng and asked, "So what do you plan to do when you find her?"
"You don’t need to worry about that. Anyway, I can’t just let someone shoot cold arrows at me!" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh.
"Can I come with you?" Duan Feihong asked.
"Why?" Ling Feng asked.
"I just want to know if it was really her who did it." Duan Feihong said, biting her lower lip.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng nodded and said, "Alright then, you can show me the way!"
"Okay!"
Duan Feihong nodded, gathered her things, and went out the door with Ling Feng.
After getting into the car, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
After some pleasantries, as if it was an afterthought, Duan Feihong asked, "By the way, is Aunt Ni Hong at your place?"
"Oh, I see."
After hanging up the phone, she turned to Ling Feng and said, "My best friend said Ni Hong went to the villa in the suburbs."
"With Zhou Kun’s situation exposed, that woman probably wants to run away, right?" Ling Feng sneered.
"She probably won’t just yet. If she leaves now, she won’t be able to take anything with her, so I guess she’s still waiting for the right moment!" said Duan Feihong.
"If that’s the case, then you should still notify Zhou Kun to be on guard, just in case that woman gets desperate and tries to hurt him!" Ling Feng said.
"Don’t worry, he hasn’t left my home."
Duan Feihong glanced at him and continued, "Uncle Zhou also anticipated the danger, so he’s staying in our family’s courtyard. Ni Hong wouldn’t dare to barge into my house to harm anyone, no matter how bold she is!"
"That’s good. You know where her villa is, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"I know, I’ve been there a few times."
After saying that, Duan Feihong buckled her seatbelt and drove off.
Shortly after they set off, Ling Feng’s phone rang. It was Chen Yan calling, "Uncle, where have you wandered off to without being at the hotel?"
"I’ve got something to do. You guys are back, right? Go have lunch on your own, I’ll be back after I finish up!" Ling Feng said.
"What’s going on?" Chen Yan immediately asked when she sensed something was off in his tone.
Ling Feng laughed, "It’s a small matter. Don’t worry about it, I’ll talk to you when I get back!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
While driving, Duan Feihong glanced at him and said, "Your girlfriend?"
"No, a colleague!" Ling Feng said.
"Oh, right. I haven’t asked yet, Mr. Ling, you’ve come to Capital City because...?" Duan Feihong asked.
"I have some business to attend to. It’s a confidential mission from my superiors!" Ling Feng stated indifferently.
Hearing this, Duan Feihong knew it was not appropriate to inquire further, so she remained silent and focused on her driving.
An hour later, they finally reached the suburbs.
A rolling series of hills appeared ahead, and at the base of the mountain was a cluster of villas, appearing to span dozens of buildings from afar. Duan Feihong pointed in that direction and said, "Ni Hong’s villa is over there."
"Good, don’t drive too close later on. Stop nearby, then just wait for me!" Ling Feng instructed.
"What? Didn’t you say I was going to confront her in person?" Duan Feihong said in surprise.
Ling Feng thought for a moment, "It’s like this. Wait until I clear any danger, then I’ll notify you, and you can come over!"
"Alright then."
Duan Feihong nodded, then added, "Be careful!"
When they were about a kilometer away from the villa, she pulled the car over and stopped by the side of the road.
Ling Feng got out of the vehicle and, without saying a word, walked into the clump of trees by the road.
Watching his retreating figure, Duan Feihong bit her lip slightly, her feelings extremely complicated.
She had a good relationship with Ni Hong. Even before Ling Feng treated Zhou Kun today, they were good friends.
But after what happened this morning, even though Zhou Kun didn’t say anything, Duan Feihong was able to guess the connection, never expecting Ni Hong to actually intend to harm Zhou Kun!
Now to hear that she wanted to take revenge on Ling Feng only made Duan Feihong feel even more conflicted.
She had never thought that the friend she considered close would be such a scheming woman!
...
...
After entering the woods, Ling Feng put on the Invisibility Ring and then dashed towards the villa area at a very high speed.
Upon reaching the destination, he approached the villa belonging to Ni Hong and saw two cars parked at the entrance.
Ling Feng circled around the villa and then saw that the window on the second floor was open, so he leapt up to it.
Although the window was open, there was a screen, which prevented direct entry.
This presented no challenge to Ling Feng; he took out the God Slayer Saber and silently slit the screen open.
Then, Ling Feng jumped into the room, quietly opened the door, and made his way down the stairs to the first floor.
Ni Hong was on the phone, legs crossed in irritation.
Ling Feng looked around; there was no one else in the house.
He found it strange, if she was alone at home, why were there two cars parked outside?
Without overthinking it, he just stood there on the stairs watching her, listening to her conversation.
At that moment, Ni Hong spoke with a displeased tone, angrily saying, "What’s going on? Shouldn’t it have taken effect already?"
"I don’t care, by this evening, that bumpkin must die!"
Ling Feng guessed that she was probably referring to him, and smirked silently, "Want me dead? Is it that easy?"
He thought to himself that if this woman knew he was right there watching her, he wondered how she would react.
After hanging up the phone, Ni Hong sighed, turned her head to look out the window, and seemed to zone out.
Ling Feng waited for a moment and felt it was time to reveal himself, so he considered deactivating the Invisibility.
Just then, an old man’s voice suddenly echoed in the room, "What? My Storm Needle didn’t work?"
The voice appeared out of thin air, coming from all directions; it was impossible to tell where the speaker was!
Ling Feng was startled and immediately activated his Divine Sense, scanning every room in the villa!
To his surprise, there was no one!
Ling Feng was perplexed, wondering if this person could also turn invisible like himself?
While he was still astonished, Ni Hong spoke up, "The exact situation is still unclear; logically, upon receiving the package, that guy should’ve been very curious and opened it immediately."
"No need to rush, just wait a little longer," the old voice said.
"Alright!"
Ni Hong nodded, and at that moment the phone rang again. After answering, she exclaimed in surprise, "What? Not at the hotel anymore?"
Standing up, she suddenly burst into a rage, "What are you good for, can’t even keep an eye on one person, what use are you!"
In a fit of anger, Ni Hong flung her hand and smashed the phone to pieces!
From a distance, Ling Feng was astounded, thinking to himself that this woman sure had a tremendous temper!
At this time, the elderly voice appeared again, "The person has left the hotel, perhaps they’ve found the Storm Needle in the box and thus linked it to you, so they went out looking for you!"
