The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1187: Promising Future

Ling Feng originally wanted to leave Ao Island and return home immediately.

But Uncle Gui and the others insisted on throwing him a celebration banquet, so he had to postpone his plans.

In the evening, just as he and Yu Linglong were about to attend the banquet, Little Dao rushed in with some news.

Han Chang died suddenly!

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was stunned and then asked, "Dao brother, is this news confirmed?"

"Of course, it’s confirmed. It’s been verified by many people. He was the one who jumped from the seventy-story building!" Little Dao nodded.

"He lost fifty billion, but that shouldn’t bankrupt him, right? Why would he think in such a dead-end way?" Ling Feng said speechlessly.

"It’s not necessarily that he thought in a dead-end way. All that money belonged to his investors. Since he lost it, he had to give them an explanation!" Little Dao said.

"The Li Family?"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, then shook his head, "The Li Family’s actions are really quite eccentric. Han Chang was working for them. Even if he made a mistake and lost some money, it wasn’t enough to kill him, was it?"

"That’s hard to say."

Little Dao chuckled, "Fifty billion might not mean much to you, Brother Feng, but for others, it’s an astronomical figure beyond imagination!"

Ling Feng smiled upon hearing this, then said, "Well, Han Chang’s dead, then. He wasn’t a good person anyway!"

At this point, he changed the subject, "By the way, Dao brother, what about those gunmen? Any leads?"

"Not yet, we only found out they smuggled in from international waters, but we’re still investigating which ship they took." Little Dao said.

Ling Feng nodded, "Dao brother, please keep digging. Once we figure out who’s behind this, we have to get our revenge!"

"Sure, my people are gathering information on any ships that have passed by Ao Island recently. We’ll definitely find out!" Little Dao nodded.

By then, it was time to eat. Ling Feng took Yu Linglong and Little Dao downstairs to the hotel restaurant.

A lot of guests arrived, with Pu Fuwan and his gambling buddies occupying a large portion, while the rest were Uncle Gui’s friends from Ao Island.

The massive banquet hall was filled with people, lively with laughter and chatter, as if Han Chang’s death was just a minor interlude, easily brushed aside by the revelers.

With Uncle Gui’s introduction, Ling Feng met many notable figures of Ao Island, some of whom were influential even on the Huaxia mainland.

Thanks to Uncle Gui’s careful planning, the celebration banquet was a resounding success, leaving everyone, including Ling Feng, in high spirits. He drank a little more than usual and only returned to his room with Yu Linglong just before midnight.

As night fell deeper and his drunkenness set in, Ling Feng naturally didn’t return to Nine Heavens but stayed in the room.

Because he’d drunk quite a bit, he didn’t intend to disturb Yu Linglong, instead, he sat on the sofa holding her, discussing the day’s achievements.

With a hundred billion US Dollars transferred to the Ling Corporation’s account, it would greatly boost the company’s development. While not enough to buy an entire county, it could elevate Ling Corporation to become a leading company in the county, even the province.

Yu Linglong lay nestled in Ling Feng’s arms, listening to his plans for the future. Though not very interested, she watched Ling Feng intently, absorbed in his animated expressions.

Eventually, as she leaned against him, Ling Feng felt a bit tired and lay down, resting his head in her lap.

With tenderness in her eyes, Yu Linglong brushed his hair aside, "If you’re tired, shouldn’t you go back to bed?"

"I don’t want to go back to bed; I just want to lay here on your lap," Ling Feng said.

"Fine, then I’ll hold you," Yu Linglong said.

"Once I’m strong enough, your matters..."

Ling Feng didn’t finish his sentence as a soft, pale finger pressed against his lips, "Don’t say it. I don’t need your help!"

"I always feel like you’re a bit unhappy," Ling Feng said, looking at her.

"That’s just my personality. If I suddenly became like Fei’er or Yang Guang, you’d be scared!" Yu Linglong said.

Ling Feng was startled, then chuckled wryly, "True, if you were too lively, I wouldn’t be used to it!"

"Exactly."

Yu Linglong nodded, then stroked Ling Feng’s forehead, gently infusing a trace of Spiritual Power, "Rest well."

A wave of warmth washed over him, and Ling Feng closed his eyes, drifting into sleep.

...

...

The next morning, after bidding farewell to Uncle Gui and the others, Ling Feng returned to Nine Heavens.

Afterwards, he and Yu Linglong went their separate ways, with him heading first to Longyuan.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, members of the Dragon Tooth Squad and Longyuan staff, who were busy working, immediately paused and saluted him!

Just as Ling Feng was at a loss, they suddenly erupted in a cheer, "Brother Ling, mighty and strong!"

The thunderous shouting made Ling Feng feel quite embarrassed, and he quickly waved his hand, "Please don’t say that, I just got lucky!"

He hadn’t expected the impact of the gambling bout to be so widespread, as if everyone knew about it!

Upon seeing Zhang He inside, he chuckled and asked, "You’re back?"

"Yes."

Ling Feng plopped down and let out a long sigh, "I came back with a good haul this time!"

"You came just to tell me that?"

Zhang He glanced at him sideways, asking in a tone of feigned irritation.

"Of course not!"

Ling Feng shook his head, then continued, "The money-making gig isn’t over yet. In a few days, I’ll head to Tailan Country for the Gambling King Competition. Only after that’s over will I have some free time!"

"In other words, you don’t want me to assign you any tasks?" Zhang He asked.

"Heh, you get me!"

Ling Feng laughed, looking at him and said, "But there’s something I’ve got to tell you!"

"No need, you’re talking about the Shankou Village matter, right? I know!" Zhang He said.

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng was stunned, surprised as he looked at him, "You knew already?"

"If I waited for you to tell me, those cucumbers wouldn’t stay fresh!"

Zhang He shot him a glance and then said, "Zhou Yi has already gone to investigate with Xun Qianqian and the others!"

This surprised Ling Feng even more, and he asked in astonishment, "They all went?"

"Yes, with you gone, Zhou Yi and the others had to keep busy!"

Zhang He nodded, then added, "So you don’t have to worry. They’re there, you can go focus on your own matters first!"

Ling Feng looked at him, "Why does that sound off to me?"

"What’s off? I’m serious!" Zhang He said earnestly.

"Cut it out, serious my foot. I’m off to check on them, make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Ling Feng said, standing up and leaving Longyuan without further ado.

Watching his departing figure, Zhang He chuckled to himself, his face filled with a smug smile of a plan well executed!

After leaving Longyuan, Ling Feng first went to Ling Corporation to find Mo Jiaolan, handed over all the documents for the company’s acquisition on Ao Island, and then asked, "When did Zhou Yi and the others head to the mountains?"
