Chapter 1242: Wait and See
Chapter 1242: Wait and See
After reaching Longyuan, Zhang He directly pulled Ling Feng into the office.
Lin Xue noticed his unusual expression and followed in, asking, "What’s happening?"
"Nothing."
Ling Feng glanced at her and said with a smile, "I have no idea why he’s so nervous!"
"Sit down first, let’s talk!"
Zhang He looked up at the two of them and continued, "Director Han will be here soon, let’s discuss this after he arrives!"
"Do you really need to be like this?"
Ling Feng sat down, looking at Zhang He with furrowed brows, and asked with a smile.
"How could I not? The Holy See and the Americans haven’t made a move. Do you think they can tolerate this kind of situation? To me, this is just the calm before the storm!" Zhang He said.
"Let’s see how big a storm they can whip up. Besides, they don’t know it was me!" Ling Feng smiled and said.
Zhang He looked at him and said, "What you did isn’t completely foolproof. Abdul’s death can easily be linked to the Black Dragon King’s situation. The outside world may not know, but the Holy See is well aware!"
"And Long Xiaoyu, she transformed into the Divine Dragon, and people have already seen it. These two factors together point in the direction of Asia!"
"Even if they don’t dare directly say Huaxia did it, they will strongly suspect us!"
After hearing his analysis, Ling Feng also stopped smiling: "You’re right, but it’s too late to regret now. It’s better to be prepared and see what moves they make!"
"Yes, that’s all we can do."
Zhang He nodded his head, said nothing more, and the room quickly became silent.
Ling Feng then turned to Lin Xue: "I brought back quite a few diamonds. You should go to Nine Heavens later and pick out some you like, maybe make a ring or something."
"Oh, alright."
Lin Xue nodded, stood up, and said, "I’ll leave you guys to it then, I’ll go have a look first!"
With that, she turned and left the office.
The room was left with Ling Feng and Zhang He, both looking at each other without saying a word.
Ling Feng wasn’t thinking as seriously about it, but he understood that Zhang He had to consider things more broadly given his position.
Half an hour later, Han Wancheng arrived.
Seeing Ling Feng, he immediately smiled and said, "Ling Feng, you did well this time, quite the haul, huh?"
"More than just a haul, Director, do you want to see for yourself?" Zhang He asked.
"Sure, let’s take a look!" Han Wancheng laughed.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Sixth Heaven, and upon seeing the military ships, Han Wancheng’s eyes widened.
"Director, are these things of any use? Would you like to take them back for research?" Ling Feng asked.
"..."
Han Wancheng paused, turned to look at him and said, "Take them back, where would you have me put them?"
"Well, I don’t know then." Ling Feng shook his head.
"I didn’t expect you to make things this big!"
Han Wancheng said and then turned to leave.
Seeing him like this, Ling Feng felt speechless, then sighed and quickly followed along with Zhang He.
When they got back to Longyuan, Han Wancheng’s brow was also furrowed.
He looked at Zhang He and asked, "So many military ships lost, and the Americans had no reaction. How does it feel to you?"
"I think they might be brewing something, publicly disclosing this would be very embarrassing, so they’re stalling. Meanwhile, I’m sure their intelligence officers are crazily looking for clues!" Zhang He said.
"Hmm!"
Han Wancheng nodded, then turned to Ling Feng and said, "Immediately have your intelligence officers in Guo City withdraw, relocate them all to Ling’s Tower!"
Ling Feng was startled: "Why?"
"Tracking satellite signals, if they trace back, their locations will be exposed!" Han Wancheng said.
"Understood!"
Ling Feng nodded, quickly stood up, and went out to call Gu Li.
After connecting, he explained the situation.
Gu Li chuckled and said, "Boss, you’re only thinking about that now, it’s already too late!"
"What?"
Ling Feng was dumbfounded and his eyes widened: "Something happened?"
"Yes, a disguised site has already been flipped inside out by the Americans, but that guy has already evacuated and is on the way to Harbor Island!" Gu Li chuckled.
"You’re saying he wasn’t at the headquarters in Guo City at the time?" Ling Feng asked.
"Of course not. How could I have him do business there, that would expose our entire base!" Gu Li said.
Ling Feng let out a long breath: "That’s great, glad you planned thoroughly!"
"Don’t worry, boss, the Americans’ leads have been cut. They can’t trace it back to us, nor will they expose Guo City!" Gu Li said.
"Very good, you’ve done well. Once I have some free time, I’ll make sure to reward you all nicely!" Ling Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Li’s spirit immediately rose: "Really? What kind of reward does the boss have in mind?"
"Uh, not much else, but I did get quite a bit of gold in Europe, I’ll give you a ton!" Ling Feng said.
"A ton?"
Gu Li’s voice cracked and changed pitch!
"Yes, is that too little? If not, I’ll give you two tons!" Ling Feng asked.
"Uh..."
Gu Li was speechless, the boss was now really wealthy, handing out gold by the ton!
He quickly let out a forced smile: "No, it’s plenty, beyond my imagination!"
Considering the current market price, a ton of gold is almost 400 million Huaxia Currency. The entire intelligence department has only three to four hundred people, split evenly, and each person would get a bonus of over a million!
He had never heard of any company’s bonus reaching such a sum!
Ling Feng was unaware of the waves in Gu Li’s heart. He nodded and said, "You did well, there will often be rewards in the future, this amount of money is nothing!"
Saying this, he continued: "Also, that hacker, have him settle down somewhere, don’t move for now, we can reward him later when things calm down!"
"I know, all arranged, he’ll have protection in Harbor Island!" Gu Li said.
Ling Feng was completely reassured. After hanging up the phone, he returned to the office, only to see Han Wancheng talking on the phone, the tone indicating he was reporting to a superior.
He couldn’t interrupt, so he sat quietly.
Ten minutes later, Han Wancheng hung up and looked at Ling Feng: "Keep those things sealed for now, don’t move them, and don’t show them off."
"I know, don’t worry!" Ling Feng nodded.
"This matter is still brewing. Let’s wait and see how it evolves. Don’t disappear, you’ll be contacted if something comes up!" Han Wancheng said.
Ling Feng acknowledged, realized there was nothing for him to do, greeted them, and then left for Nine Heavens.
Upon returning, Ling Yao found him: "There’s still a lot of stuff in my bracelet’s treasury. Do you want to take it all out?"
