Chapter 1146 The Most Urgent Task
Ling Feng sneered, "Go through private channels? Like them, attacking the Li Family’s businesses? Why should their family matters drag innocent people into this?"
"You’re absolutely right!"
Chu Nan nodded, "After understanding the situation, I think what you did is not a problem at all!"
"Exactly, so no need to worry about me. No matter how powerful the Li Family is, I refuse to believe they can take me down!" Ling Feng joked.
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, everyone fell silent.
After a moment, Chu Nan sighed, "Ling Feng, don’t act recklessly. Listening to everyone’s opinions would still benefit you!"
Ling Feng froze for a second, then nodded, "Yes, teacher, I understand what you mean!"
"Understanding isn’t enough; you need to think it over more!" Zhang He said.
"Alright, I’ll seriously consider it!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "But now that things have escalated to this point, it’s impossible to undo it. The internet has memory; I can’t erase what everyone has seen. The only thing left now is how the Li Family will react. I’m simply responding as things unfold!"
After hearing his words, everyone was speechless.
Ling Feng was right; once a bullet is fired, it can’t be retrieved. Now, everything depended on the other party’s response!
By evening, Han Wancheng arrived at Longyuan, travel-worn. Ling Feng and Zhang He were already waiting for him in the yard before they all headed into the office.
Once seated, Han Wancheng didn’t immediately criticize Ling Feng’s actions but first introduced the situation regarding the Li Family.
This Li Family, while keeping a low-profile, is a lineage that dates back a thousand years to the Tang Dynasty. Surviving centuries of storms, this family’s persistence into the present day certainly has its reasons.
In modern times, while the family isn’t as grand as before, their branches are spread across the nation, with most members having achieved exceptional stature in their local areas, some even wielding tremendous influence.
It’s said that if the Li Family summons its resources collectively, the amount of financial and material assets they mobilize could rival that of a small country!
After explaining, Han Wancheng looked at Ling Feng, "Now do you understand the influence of the Li Family?"
Ling Feng nodded, "I understand."
Han Wancheng and Zhang He stared at Ling Feng’s face, trying to discern his thoughts, only for Ling Feng to sneer and say, "If the Li Family really mobilizes all their forces against me, then the fun really begins!"
"What do you mean?" Han Wancheng and Zhang He asked simultaneously.
"If this giant beast tries to take a bite out of me, I’ll make sure it loses a few teeth in the process!" Ling Feng declared.
"Uh..."
Han Wancheng froze, speechless for a moment, but just as he was about to say something, Ling Feng suddenly asked, "Boss, you rushed here all the way from Capital City; surely not just because of this issue?"
"Of course not. This is just part of it. The matter between you and the Li Family alone wouldn’t warrant my special trip!" Han Wancheng replied.
"Oh, that’s good. Director Han, you talk to Zhang He. I’m heading home!"
Having said that, Ling Feng spun around and left directly under the gaze of Han Wancheng and Zhang He.
Watching Ling Feng’s figure disappear, Han Wancheng shook his head helplessly.
He then turned to Zhang He, "What’s your take on this situation?"
"I think we should let things take their course. We’ve already done all the advising we could. Besides, the Li Family was in the wrong initially. If they truly want to escalate this feud, I’ll certainly stand by Ling Feng!" Zhang He said.
"You’re quite the loyal brother!" Han Wancheng commented.
Zhang He chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Director-General, this isn’t just about personal feelings. From an organizational standpoint, Ling Feng is one of our own. If the Security Bureau doesn’t back him up, wouldn’t that be a disgrace?"
"You’re right!"
Han Wancheng nodded, then said, "Alright, let’s leave this matter aside for now. How is Project One progressing?"
"Waiting for your inspection!" Zhang He replied.
"Alright, let’s go!"
Han Wancheng then nodded, heading downstairs with Zhang He.
Ling Feng returned directly to Tang Family Village.
The reason he came here was his worry that Tang Xiaoqian and Mu Lingling might be in trouble. After all, if the Li Family erupted in anger, it wouldn’t be good if their fury spilled over onto these two.
Thus, Ling Feng stayed here the entire day.
The result: nothing happened, completely tranquil!
Meanwhile, news about Li Yan surged on the internet briefly before vanishing mysteriously, likely due to some behind-the-scenes maneuvering by the Li Family.
It might look as though nothing occurred, but in reality, the incident had already left a lasting impression in many people’s minds.
By nightfall, Ling Feng didn’t say much but simply instructed Mu Lingling to stay at Tang Xiaoqian’s house. The reason was apparent; she still hadn’t fully recovered emotionally and needed someone to support her.
Ling Feng then returned to Shankou Village, but before using teleportation, he received a call from Mo Jiaolan.
After several detours, Ling Feng returned to the Ling Corporation Headquarters and sat in the office. Mo Jiaolan started the conversation, "I’ve been thinking all day about one thing — shouldn’t we get our security school up and running?"
Ling Feng nodded, "You’re absolutely right; I’ve had the same thought. Our strength is too limited."
"Then let’s move forward with this immediately. Start by recruiting people from the Chu Family, Qiao Family, and Lu Family as the first batch of trainees," Mo Jiaolan suggested.
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded and then added, "From now on, let’s set aside current work and focus entirely on this matter!"
"Mm!"
Mo Jiaolan nodded, then took out a map, "Here’s a layout of the county outskirts. Choose a location, and we’ll establish the school there!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Building from scratch takes too long. Let’s find a place with existing facilities; recruit and build simultaneously for better efficiency!"
"In that case, this place should work. It’s a forestry site with a large yard, a three-story building, and a row of single-story houses," Mo Jiaolan suggested.
Ling Feng looked surprised, "You know this so well?"
"I’m familiar with nearly all idle properties around the county, but we haven’t acquired them all yet due to budget constraints," Mo Jiaolan replied.
Her words made Ling Feng feel a surge of emotion, prompting him to walk up and put his arm around her shoulder, "You’ve been working hard, especially today. It must’ve been emotionally tough for you, right?"
"Yeah, every employee in the company is like family to us. Losing even one feels painful," Mo Jiaolan said.
"What’s happened can’t be undone. Let’s focus on what’s ahead and prevent such things from happening again," Ling Feng consoled.
"I know. That’s why the security school needs to start right away. I want to assign top-tier security personnel across all branch offices!" Mo Jiaolan said firmly.
