Chapter 1210: Not Leaving
Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, then finally looked at Zoran: "Who is Zuo Zhu?"
"My sister!"
"I don’t even know her, I have no idea what you’re talking about!" Ling Feng said.
Zoran glared at him: "Who says you don’t know her? She’s the Red Sea King you kidnapped!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng widened his eyes, then looked puzzled: "Who is the Red Sea King again? I’ve never heard of them!"
"You!"
Upon hearing this, Zoran pointed at Ling Feng’s face: "Stop playing dumb here. I know you kidnapped her!"
"Evidence? You can’t just accuse me without evidence!" Ling Feng said seriously.
"Of course I have evidence!"
Zoran said, then took out her phone and started playing a video.
Ling Feng looked, and the bruised and swollen face on the screen was clearly Jia Ba!
The kid seemed to have been beaten badly and confessed everything.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, thinking that if he’d known it would come to this, he should have let that guy go his own way in the first place!
Now that there is testimony, he had no choice but to admit it!
So Ling Feng laughed a bit, nodded, and said: "Alright, since you have evidence, I won’t say anything more!"
Zoran put away her phone, glaring at him: "Well, then release her now!"
"Why should I?"
Ling Feng looked at her: "Just because you say so, I have to release her? What kind of logic is that?"
"If you don’t release her, I’ll never let you off!" Zoran said angrily!
"Do whatever you please, at most I’ll just have another tag-along, can you really do anything else?" Ling Feng sneered.
"Don’t push me!"
Zoran was anxious and bit her lip.
"You’re the one pushing me!"
Ling Feng sneered again, then said: "You seem to not understand, I didn’t kidnap Zuo Zhu on a whim, there are reasons, and I don’t know you well enough to release her just because she’s your sister!"
"Then what do you want?" Zoran asked.
"Once she’s served her sentence, I’ll naturally release her. If you want to take her back directly, that’s not gonna happen!" Ling Feng said.
"You...."
Zoran was so mad she was panting heavily, but she knew she was no match for Ling Feng, not to mention Ling Feng, even Li Fei’er and Ye Qian she couldn’t beat.
If she could have, she would have rushed in earlier.
Now that she saw Ling Feng paying no attention to her, Zoran had to roll her eyes and then said: "How about this, I’m willing to pay some money to buy Zuo Zhu’s freedom, name your price!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was surprised for a moment, then laughed: "Looks like you have some money, don’t let me set the price, you name a price and I’ll consider it. If it’s suitable, I might just release her to you!"
Zoran hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, bit her lip and said: "The most I can give is one billion, that’s my entire fortune!"
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was overjoyed!
One billion, isn’t that a gift?
So after thinking for a moment, he seriously asked Zoran: "Is this billion in US dollars or what? If it’s something like Vietnamese dong, don’t bother saying it!"
"Of course it’s in US dollars!" Zoran replied, annoyed.
"Oh, that’s good then!"
Ling Feng nodded, then said: "In that case, go gather the money and transfer it to me later, and I’ll release her to you!"
"You said it, you’re the new Gambling King, keep your word!" Zoran said.
"Of course, I always keep my word. As soon as the money is in, she’ll be yours!" Ling Feng said seriously.
"Okay!"
Zoran didn’t waste any words and turned around to leave.
Watching her back, Ling Feng was a bit speechless: "She didn’t even ask for my account number, is this woman not deceiving me?"
"Your fame is quite widespread now, the reputation of the Ling Corporation is rising, I reckon she doesn’t even need to ask to know our account number!" Li Fei’er said.
"That’s true!"
Ling Feng nodded, then said: "Alright, just a small interlude, let’s sit for a while and then we should head back."
"Alright!"
Li Fei’er and Ye Qian nodded, and followed him back into the villa.
After dark, several cars left the estate and returned to the hotel.
Everyone first teleported back to the Nine Heavens, while Ling Feng waited at the hotel until Mo Jiaolan called, informing him that the company had received another billion US dollars.
"That woman is at least trustworthy!"
Ling Feng nodded and teleported back to the Nine Heavens.
Afterwards, he didn’t delay and directly went to the Sixth Layer to find Zuo Zhu.
Her subordinates were all absent, and there wasn’t a submarine in sight; Zuo Zhu was sitting alone by the shore, staring at the Endless Sea, lost in thought.
Ling Feng approached: "You are free, you can leave now."
Zuo Zhu turned to look at him for a moment, then shook her head: "I won’t go!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was completely thrown off.
He looked at Zuo Zhu, surprised: "What did you say?"
"I said, I’m not leaving!" Zuo Zhu said flatly.
"Why?"
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking who acts like this?
Zuo Zhu looked at him: "I like this place, so I don’t want to leave!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking if Zoran hears this, how would she feel!
After a moment’s silence, he continued: "This is my territory, you can’t stay or leave as you wish, and your sister already paid me a billion US dollars to ransom you. I’ve accepted the money, what do you mean by not leaving?"
Ling Feng didn’t want to be someone who breaks promises; since he agreed to Zoran to release her, Zuo Zhu must be handed over!
Unexpectedly, after hearing that Zoran spent a billion to ransom her, Zuo Zhu showed no reaction and simply said: "Then tell her I don’t want to leave and refund the money to her!"
"How can that be?"
Ling Feng felt a pang of heartache at the thought, a billion US dollars, already pocketed, and you want me to return it? That’s not happening!
So he continued: "Whether you want to leave or not, you must leave. I’ve already said, this is a private property; what right do you have to stay here?"
Just as he finished speaking, Ling Yao’s calm voice came from behind: "It’s me who told her to stay!"
"Ah? Why?"
Ling Feng turned around, asking with a puzzled look.
"She is very knowledgeable in maritime technology and also knows how to operate warships. She will be a great help in training our people!" Ling Yao said.
"Uh, can’t we find someone else? She’s not the only one who understands ships!" Ling Feng said speechlessly.
"Anyone else would be an outsider. Since you brought her here, let her stay!" Ling Yao said.
"This..."
Ling Feng was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "Alright, I’ll go and explain it to her sister!"
Ling Yao’s opinion was something he greatly respected; since she wanted the woman to stay, then let her stay.
As for the billion dollars, painful as it was, he’d return it to Zoran.
So Ling Feng turned and left, teleporting back to the hotel in Tailan Country.
