The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1063: Clues

Ling Feng gave a sound of acknowledgment, "It seems the two men hold quite high statuses!"

"Exactly, the two gentlemen are born and raised in Capital City. They were influential figures in their youth, and the Wu Family’s rise in Capital City is all thanks to their contributions!" Duan Feihong said.

"Is that so? Then do these two have any background?" Ling Feng asked with interest.

Duan Feihong paused for a moment but didn’t probe further, simply saying, "Their ancestors were somewhat famous, with the earliest ties dating back to the Late Qing era."

"Oh?"

A name immediately flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes, Longyu!

The big leader of the Xinglong Gang, rumored to be a prince from the Late Qing!

When all the information was pieced together, it seemed like something was gradually surfacing from beneath the water!

Just as he was about to ask in detail, Wu Hua was waving at Duan Feihong from over there, signaling her to come over.

With a helpless smile, Duan Feihong said to Ling Feng and the others, "One has to play the part fully. I still have to go greet the two gentlemen. We’ll talk later!"

Having said that, she walked towards the crowd.

Ling Feng and his group didn’t know the Wu Family, so naturally, they didn’t need to go greet them and just watched from where they were.

"These two old men are truly revered by everyone. Everyone here is a big shot, but they still have to exchange pleasantries with them!" Chen Yan said.

"You don’t understand, this is about prestige, they’ve earned it with their seniority!" Ye Qian said.

"Seniority is only part of it, the key is still power. It appears these two old men are not on the verge of bankruptcy; hence what Sister Feihong mentioned about oil exploration is no issue at all!" Yang Guang analyzed.

After listening to her, Ling Feng felt quite intrigued and nodded, "Then, what do you think, if the Wu Family isn’t after the Duan Family’s financial power, why would they arrange a marriage alliance with Wu Hua for her?"

"If it’s not a matter of financial power, I suspect their family might also have someone who can read fortunes and must have set their sights on Sister Feihong’s auspicious ’husband prospering’ fate!" Yang Guang said.

"Oh?"

It was just a casual question, but her response reminded Ling Feng of something.

So he quickly said, "Indeed, that’s possible!"

"Mhm, as with affluent families, it usually concerns such matters!" Yang Guang nodded.

Ling Feng chuckled, "At such a young age, you speak as though you’ve seen through the ways of the world. Do you have to be so precociously mature?"

"That’s none of your business!" Yang Guang retorted with a roll of her eyes.

After Duan Feihong greeted the gentlemen, she couldn’t break away; the Duan and Wu families together entered a lounge, and no one knew what they discussed.

Ling Feng was curious and extended his Divine Sense to scan the room, but unfortunately, he only heard polite banter without any substantive content.

Hence, he lost interest in eavesdropping and turned to go to the observation deck to look at the night scene outside.

When it was 10 p.m., the party ended, and the guests bid farewell and left.

The people from the Duan and Wu families dispersed as well, and after Duan Feihong said goodbye to everyone, she returned to Ling Feng and the others, "Shall we head back?"

"Good!"

Ling Feng nodded, finally able to let go of his worries. As long as they returned to the hotel, there would be no issues today.

As for tomorrow, that would depend on the situation.

Feihong’s misfortune still lingered on her face, and if he didn’t have time, he would just have the others, like Chen Yan, keep an eye on her.

However, it might be best for Duan Feihong to stay in the hotel and not go anywhere!

The group returned to the car park and got into the car. Chen Yan immediately asked, "Sister Feihong, how did you feel about tonight?"

"Nothing much, it was rather boring. I even wanted to yawn, but I forced myself to refrain from doing so publicly and saving face!" Duan Feihong laughed.

"Oh, and how did things go with Wu Hua? Do you two have a chance?" Chen Yan continued to inquire.

Duan Feihong shook his head: "How could that be? He’s just putting on an act in public, I can tell he’s not interested in me!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Really? That guy has no designs on you? I think it’s definitely a case of playing hard to get, it’s all an act!"

"How could that be?"

Duan Feihong smiled, and while driving, she said, "What kind of beautiful women hasn’t he seen? Why would he bother to be so calculated with me?"

Ling Feng didn’t voice what was on his mind, he just smiled and said, "You’re a beautiful woman too, why sell yourself short!"

After everyone returned to the hotel, they all felt a bit tired, so Ling Feng didn’t ask further about the Wu brothers’ situation and just greeted the girls before going back to his own room.

He then sat down, pondered for a moment, and took out his phone to call Wang Laogen.

"This late and you think I don’t need to sleep?"

After the call connected, an unhappy voice of the old man immediately came through.

"It’s only this time and you’re saying it’s late?"

Ling Feng smiled helplessly, then said seriously, "I’m looking for you because there’s important business!"

"What’s the matter, hurry up and tell me, I’m about to get my beauty sleep, don’t go on and on without end!" Wang Laogen said impatiently.

"...."

Ling Feng thought to himself, what beauty sleep for an old man like you, so pretentious! But he seriously asked, "I came across a prominent family from Capital City, the Wu family, and I want to check their background!"

"Wu Gang?"

Wang Laogen didn’t even think before he immediately asked.

"That’s right, you know them?" Ling Feng asked.

"Of course, who in high society doesn’t know him? What do you want with this information?" Wang Laogen inquired.

"Just encountered them and got a bit curious, wanted to know more about their family background!" Ling Feng explained.

Wang Laogen chuckled, "Trying to be all sly with me, huh? You think I met you yesterday?"

"Er, you can tell over the phone, have you become clairvoyant?" Ling Feng said, exasperated.

"Get lost, you’re the one who’s become clairvoyant, hurry up and spill the beans, or I won’t help you out!" Wang Laogen threatened.

Left with no choice, Ling Feng started from Duan Feihong’s situation, to the Wu and Duan Families planning a marriage alliance, and then to what he had noticed at the banquet.

After listening, Wang Laogen smacked his lips and said, "You should be asking Chu Nan about this, he knows quite a bit about Late Qing history, maybe he can find out if Wu Gang has any connections with Longyu!"

"Alright then, I won’t disturb your rest, I’ll call the teacher instead!" Ling Feng said.

"Better wait till tomorrow morning to call him. He just lost two games in a row to me, got so mad and went off to sleep, better not to provoke him!" Wang Laogen laughed.

"Oh, got it!"

Ling Feng nodded and hung up the phone.

He didn’t think much more about it, and just laid back on the bed, quickly falling asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Ling Feng had gotten out of bed, Duan Feihong arrived.

She didn’t even enter, just spoke from the doorway, "I’ll need to go out again today!"

"What is it this time?" Ling Feng asked.

"The Wu family’s old master is ill, quite seriously, my grandfather and the rest have all gone over, and they want me to rush there immediately!" Duan Feihong said.
