The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1143 Hesitated

The group entered the slums, and Mo Jiaolan and Feng Ling’s beautiful faces immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Some bold men actually started whistling at the two women!

However, these people didn’t dare to make any excessive moves, because Ling Feng’s expression was dark as water, and his entire body exuded an aura of intimidation. When his stern gaze swept over them, those whistling men felt their hearts skip a beat, almost stopping entirely!

The environment grew increasingly complex, with narrow alleys crisscrossing. Although Gu Li knew the address, once inside he still had to check with the locals to confirm the direction.

As the four of them walked on, they gradually reached the depths of the slum. The air grew heavy with an unpleasant odor.

Mo Jiaolan and Feng Ling both frowned slightly, and Ling Feng was no better off.

But Ling Feng had already shifted his attention to the surrounding environment, using his Divine Sense to scan a kilometer-wide radius, searching for every suspicious target.

The perpetrator had originally been caught on surveillance equipment, but he had cleverly avoided showing his face directly. Most of the footage captured his back, obscured under a baseball cap, so Ling Feng and the others didn’t know what he looked like.

After walking for a while longer, the four arrived at the door of a dilapidated shack. Gu Li saw a four or five-year-old child playing on the ground and knelt down to ask the child something.

Before the child could respond, a figure darted from behind the shack. Ling Feng’s Divine Sense immediately locked onto the individual.

The man, in a panic, fled frantically. His guilty posture was unmistakable, and Ling Feng instantly used the Mind Soul Art to take control of him!

The man collapsed to the ground, clutching his head and crying out in pain. Ling Feng approached and hauled him up.

Gu Li stepped forward, took one look, and immediately nodded: "That’s him!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng nearly crushed the man to death with his bare hands!

But just then, the sound of children crying interrupted him. Turning his head, he saw three children come out from the shack, in addition to the one at the door. Four children stared at them in terror, the youngest already crying from fright.

Seeing this, Ling Feng froze for a moment!

Then he turned to Feng Ling and said, "Ask him what’s going on!"

Feng Ling nodded. Moments later, she replied, "These are his children."

Ling Feng: "....."

Ling Feng couldn’t bring himself to beat and interrogate their father in front of the children!

So he said instead, "Gu Li, stay behind to comfort them, and see if there’s someone who can take care of the kids. Give them some money!"

Gu Li nodded. "Got it, boss!"

Ling Feng grabbed the man and left without looking back, heading straight outside.

Walking through the labyrinthine slum, many people stared at Ling Feng carrying a man in his hand, their gazes filled with astonishment.

But these people merely glanced at him, showing no concern for what was happening. Since it didn’t involve them, no one stepped forward to ask or intervene.

Ling Feng had originally thought this scene would cause a stir, but the reality left him speechless.

Such cold indifference—if he took those kids away, would these people even react?

Once back in the car, Ling Feng tossed the man into the backseat and turned to Feng Ling: "Help me ask him if he’s willing to tell the truth!"

"Alright!"

Feng Ling nodded and began questioning the man in the local language.

Ling Feng observed the man’s eyes and knew he was frightened.

Fear couldn’t be hidden.

Unfortunately, since he didn’t speak the language, Ling Feng couldn’t use the Mind Soul Art to probe the man’s inner thoughts. He could only wait for Feng Ling’s results.

After asking a few questions, Feng Ling said, "He claims he was hired. The person who paid him stopped him on the roadside and then offered a price so high he couldn’t refuse, which made him decide to take the risk!"

Ling Feng frowned deeply. "How much did they pay him?"

"One hundred thousand... Huaxia Currency," Feng Ling said helplessly. "It’s not much, but it’s enough for him to take his kids and leave this filthy place for somewhere better to live!"

Ling Feng sighed inwardly. For a hundred thousand dollars, the damages to the branch office exceeded tens of millions!

An angry fire rose in his chest. Ling Feng gritted his teeth, yet he still couldn’t bring himself to act.

Turning, he looked at Mo Jiaolan and asked, "Should we kill this guy?"

"...."

Mo Jiaolan, initially infuriated and eager to kill him on the spot, hesitated after seeing the four dirty, terrified children.

She sighed and shook her head, saying, "I can’t do it; it’s your call."

Ling Feng, too, wanted to kill the man, but he couldn’t bring himself to take action.

It would be easy to kill him, but then those four children would be left fatherless. In a slum like this, how long could they survive?

Just as Ling Feng was hesitating, Feng Ling said, "Don’t rush. The real mastermind hasn’t been found yet. Once we catch them, we can deal with everyone together!"

"Alright, we’ll spare his life for now!" Ling Feng said.

At this moment, Gu Li emerged from the slum with the four children trailing behind him. Ling Feng froze in confusion as he stepped out of the car. "What’s going on?"

"These kids’ mother is dead. Their family only has this man. If he’s not at home, these kids will starve to death!" Gu Li said.

Ling Feng was speechless.

He stared at Gu Li and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"I don’t know. If you don’t agree, I’ll just take them back," Gu Li said.

"Why is everything left for me to decide!"

Ling Feng couldn’t hold back and shouted loudly!

Regretting his outburst immediately, he looked at Gu Li apologetically: "Sorry, I got carried away!"

"It’s fine; I understand how you feel, boss," Gu Li replied helplessly.

Just then, Feng Ling stepped out of the car: "I’ve got someone coming. Once they arrive, I’ll hand this guy and the kids over to the Black Dragon Sect. My people will handle it properly!"

"Thanks for handling this!" Ling Feng said quickly.

"No need for thanks. Let’s focus on finding the mastermind behind this mess," Feng Ling said.

The group didn’t return to the damaged building; instead, they accompanied Gu Li to the intelligence center.

The center was located in a standalone three-story building in the suburbs, where security personnel armed with weapons prominently patrolled the entrance.

After passing through security checks, the group ascended the stairs.

Ling Feng noticed armed guards patrolling the area and chuckled bitterly: "If the branch office had security like this, that incident wouldn’t have happened!"

Mo Jiaolan spoke guiltily: "It’s my fault for not arranging things properly. I didn’t anticipate something like this happening."

Ling Feng glanced at her: "That’s not what I meant. This isn’t your fault; none of us saw it coming!"

Once upstairs, they entered a large room where Gu Li pointed to the array of screens on the wall and said, "Boss, this is where we’re hooked into Guo City’s security systems. Perhaps we can find traces of the mastermind here!"

"Don’t waste any time. Pull up the footage now!" Ling Feng said sternly.
