The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1142: Committing the Crime

Seeing it was Mo Jiaolan calling, Ling Feng picked up with a smile and asked, "What’s up?"

"There’s trouble. Come back immediately!" Mo Jiaolan said in a low voice.

"Hmm?"

Catching the tension in her tone, Ling Feng frowned. "What happened?"

"Our branch in Guo City was attacked. Some people were killed and injured!" Mo Jiaolan explained.

Ling Feng’s heart sank. He immediately said, "Got it. I’m coming back right now!"

Without wasting any time, he rushed to Little Lian’s house and used the Teleportation Array to arrive at Nine Heavens, where Mo Jiaolan was already waiting.

Seeing her, Ling Feng promptly asked, "How many casualties?"

"Three dead, over a dozen injured." Mo Jiaolan’s expression was grim.

Ling Feng squinted his eyes. "Do we know who did this?"

"Not yet. Gu Li has already taken people to investigate." Mo Jiaolan replied.

"Alright, I’ll go too. Whoever did this has got guts. If they targeted this deliberately, I’ll make sure they pay in blood!" Ling Feng declared.

"I’ll go with you!" Mo Jiaolan said.

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng hesitated and looked at her, "You want to come?"

"This is our first overseas branch. I must make an appearance!" Mo Jiaolan insisted.

Ling Feng paused for a moment before reminding her, "If you show yourself, then starting today, you’ll be stepping onto the international stage."

"It’s fine. I have nothing to fear. Are people going to target me or something?" Mo Jiaolan responded nonchalantly.

"Alright."

Ling Feng nodded and took her hand. "Let’s go."

The two of them used the largest Teleportation Array and appeared moments later in Feng Ling’s hotel.

Without stopping, they headed downstairs and took a car. Soon, they arrived at a building located in the city center.

The area was already cordoned off by local police, with only officers allowed to enter. However, thanks to Gu Li’s connections, Ling Feng and Mo Jiaolan were able to enter without any hindrance.

As they walked inside, many onlookers, including journalists and curious citizens, took pictures of them.

This was exactly what Ling Feng had worried about earlier. Mo Jiaolan’s identity would be exposed soon, and many would come to know that she was the real head of Ling Corporation.

They took the elevator upstairs, where several traumatized company employees were being questioned by the police. Ling Feng glanced at Gu Li, "Have you found anything yet?"

"Not yet. We just arrived a few minutes ago, but news should be coming in shortly!" Gu Li answered.

"Then move fast and confirm if the attackers are still in Guo City, so I don’t have to track them down in their lair!" Ling Feng said coldly.

Seeing the sharpness in his eyes, Gu Li felt a chill run down his spine and quickly nodded, "Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll find out where the culprits are as soon as possible!"

As events unfolded, Ling Feng and Mo Jiaolan gradually pieced together the details of the incident.

At the time, the branch was operating normally when a deliveryman carrying a water cooler came upstairs to replace the water dispenser bottle. No one expected him to suddenly lash out violently, unleashing a chaotic attack!

Fortunately, the man wasn’t a superpower user—just a physically robust individual. Most people only sustained injuries, while the fatal cases resulted from critical hits that proved impossible to treat.

As for the perpetrator, after attacking, he triggered the building’s fire alarm amidst the chaos and escaped with the crowd evacuating the premises!

Upon hearing this, Mo Jiaolan was trembling with rage but remained composed. She immediately instructed the branch’s manager, "Arrange proper compensation for the deceased and ensure the injured receive the best medical care available, no matter the cost!"

The manager replied, "Yes, I’ve already started organizing everything!"

Turning back to Ling Feng, Mo Jiaolan asked, "What do you think?"

"I don’t think this looks like someone trying to retaliate against us. If it were a bigger organization, they wouldn’t send just an ordinary man to carry out an attack!" Ling Feng speculated.

"Or maybe that’s what they want us to think," Mo Jiaolan countered.

Ling Feng nodded, "That’s possible too!"

"Either way, we’ll deal with it once we find out who’s behind it," Mo Jiaolan said determinedly.

While they were talking, Feng Ling—who hadn’t been there earlier—arrived. Learning about the incident, she looked visibly shocked and exclaimed, "Who would dare to pull something like this?!"

"Don’t worry. We’ll definitely find out." Ling Feng reassured her.

Soon after, Princess Liya also received the news and drove to the building to join them.

Since the lobby wasn’t suitable for discussions, the group relocated to a meeting room upstairs.

Once seated, Liya immediately spoke to Ling Feng and Mo Jiaolan, "I deeply apologize for such an egregious incident happening here. This is on our local police!"

Ling Feng shook his head, "No need to say that. This has nothing to do with you. Whether it was a spur-of-the-moment act or a premeditated plan, it’s our group’s oversight that allowed this to happen!"

"I’ve already arranged for the city to be locked down. Anyone leaving will undergo inspection, so I’m confident the culprit hasn’t escaped Guo City yet!" Liya assured.

"That’s good. We’ll wait," Ling Feng agreed.

Two hours passed before Gu Li came rushing in, drenched in sweat, saying to Ling Feng, "Boss, we’ve found the perpetrator’s address!"

Ling Feng immediately stood up, "Where?"

"In the southern slums! He’s just a water delivery guy and has been in the trade for over a decade!" Gu Li revealed.

"Worked for over a decade, then suddenly went on a killing spree?"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes before saying, "Alright, let’s go and find him!"

"I’ll go with you!" Mo Jiaolan stood up.

"You don’t need to. Stay here," Ling Feng said.

But Mo Jiaolan was stubborn, shaking her head, "Don’t worry. I won’t hold you back!"

"That’s not what I meant. Once we catch him, I’ll immediately know his motives for what he did. You can just wait here," Ling Feng explained.

"No, I want to see this culprit with my own eyes!" Mo Jiaolan insisted.

"I’ll go too. The slum environment is complex, and you’ll need a guide!" Feng Ling added.

Ling Feng didn’t want to waste time arguing, so he nodded and said, "Fine, let’s all go!"

With that, he stood up and headed for the elevator.

Downstairs, Feng Ling drove Ling Feng, Mo Jiaolan, and Gu Li toward the southern slums.

The ride was silent, and once the car parked by the roadside, Feng Ling glanced at the dilapidated and chaotic buildings ahead and remarked, "This area is a mix of all kinds of people—criminals, misfits, and hustlers. It’s easily the most disorderly place in Guo City."

"Makes no difference."

Killing intent burned within Ling Feng, and he didn’t care where they were. If anyone dared to get in his way or disrupt his plans, he’d show no mercy!
