Chapter 1340: Unexpected Request
Chapter 1340: Unexpected Request
Sato Saori left and went shopping with Zheng Yitong, while Ling Feng stayed in the villa.
At ten o’clock in the morning, a car pulled up to the front door.
Then, Qingzi, dressed in a white dress, got out of the car.
Ling Feng walked out of the door and looked at the woman.
Although not young, at least forty years old, her demeanor was very graceful.
Back on the fishing boat, Ling Feng had been attracted by her, and that special feeling was still fresh in his memory.
Qingzi approached, their eyes met, and she extended her hand: "Hello, I’m Shinozuka Haruko."
"Hello, please come in."
Seeing the man in black in the car not getting out, obviously a bodyguard type, Ling Feng chuckled, thinking that since she wasn’t on guard against him, it was likely not about the Shadow Group.
After entering the house, Shinozuka Haruko looked around the surroundings, then sat on the sofa.
Ling Feng sat opposite her, getting straight to the point: "Miss Qingzi, what do you really want to say to me?"
"I know about your relationship with Shao Zhi." Shinozuka Haruko said.
"Oh, and then?" Ling Feng asked.
Shinozuka Haruko looked at him: "Considering your relationship, I am now considered your elder."
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless for a moment, looking into her eyes: "You’re not expecting me to call you aunt, are you?"
"There’s no need for that!"
Shinozuka Haruko shook her head: "I just hope you could show some respect to your elders according to our eastern tradition!"
"Oh, theoretically, yes, but given your identity and mine, we are on opposing factions, so respect is unnecessary, just speak directly!" Ling Feng said calmly.
"..."
Shinozuka Haruko was at a loss for words, glanced at him, and then sighed: "Alright!"
She realized that appealing to family ties wasn’t going to work with Ling Feng, so she changed her approach, speaking seriously: "I’m here to ask for your help!"
"Go on, I’ll decide whether to help you based on the situation," Ling Feng said.
He’s no fool; logically, he shouldn’t help with the Shadow Group. Helping them would only bring trouble upon himself.
But what Shinozuka Haruko said next was truly surprising!
"You must help with this, or both Huaxia and Dongying Country will face disaster!"
"The leader of the Shadow Group is called Kunshan Yi, he’s already obsessed, and soon all of East Asia will be in flames!"
It was the first time Ling Feng heard the name of the Shadow Group’s leader, and hearing the severity from Shinozuka Haruko, he furrowed his brow in confusion: "How did this happen? What level of power does he have to be so formidable?"
"Kunshan Yi is practicing a celestial technique that can harness the power of the gods for his own use. His personality is extreme, and once successful, his first target will be Huaxia!" Shinozuka Haruko said.
Ling Feng sneered: "Still harboring ill intentions, huh? Weren’t the two big bombs back then enough for them?"
Shinozuka Haruko’s expression changed, then she sighed: "These people are a minority, the true people of Dongying Country are more peaceful and lack such aggressiveness!"
"I’ve heard that before!"
Ling Feng coldly laughed, looking into her eyes: "Do you think I don’t know history? During the invasion war, your entire nation was mobilized, shouting to join the military to invade Huaxia, and even those who couldn’t join worked overtime in arms factories. Your nation is extremely susceptible to being incited into madness!"
Shinozuka Haruko: "...."
Seeing Ling Feng’s angry expression, she sighed again.
Ling Feng suddenly felt he might have been too aggressive, so he smiled: "Alright, even if it’s just Kunshan Yi’s extremism, this guy is probably beyond help. Does he really think he alone can plunge Huaxia into war again?"
"He’s not alone. Kunshan Yi has gathered a group of fanatics around him, over a hundred people!" Shinozuka Haruko said.
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng contemplated for a moment, then looked at her: "Are you hoping I’ll step in to stop him?"
"Yes, besides you, I can’t think of anyone in the world who could eliminate him!"
Shinozuka Haruko nodded and then said: "Kunshan Yi hasn’t fully mastered the evil skill yet, so there’s still a chance!"
Ling Feng made a sound, looking into her eyes: "Should I trust you?"
"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Shinozuka Haruko asked in amazement.
Ling Feng smiled: "How do I know you’re not trying to eliminate rivals, wanting to remove Kunshan Yi and then become the leader of the Shadow Group yourself?"
"You’re overthinking it!"
Shinozuka Haruko shook her head: "I have no interest in being any leader, and you don’t understand the Shadow Group’s structure. Without Kunshan Yi and his loyalists, the Shadow Group would cease to exist!"
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng chose to trust her.
After pondering for a moment, he said calmly: "I can’t directly promise you anything now. This matter is not trivial, and I need time to consider it!"
"Okay, I can wait, but please, Mr. Ling, I urge you to agree, or in the future, the ordinary people of both countries will be harmed by Kunshan Yi!"
Shinozuka Haruko stood up, bowed to Ling Feng, and solemnly said.
"Alright, I’ll let you know after I think about it!"
Ling Feng was a bit helpless, never having considered proactively seeking trouble with the Shadow Group, yet their internal people came looking for him!
Though he said so, Shinozuka Haruko maintained her bow: "I’m counting on you!"
"Don’t say that, I didn’t say I’d agree, only that I’ll consider it," Ling Feng said, frowning.
Her persistent bowing, was it forcing him to agree?
"Alright."
Shinozuka Haruko straightened up and then said: "As long as Mr. Ling helps and resolves this matter, I’m willing to agree to any of your demands!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng frowned again, looking at her seriously: "Any demand? Including inappropriate ideas?"
"Yes!"
Shinozuka Haruko bit her lip and answered seriously.
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and stepped forward!
"...."
Shinozuka Haruko’s eyes showed a hint of panic, and she instinctively took a step back.
This situation had occurred on the fishing boat, at that time she was extremely nervous, thinking Ling Feng might actually do something to her.
But this time they weren’t on a boat, they were in his home, the two of them alone, she suddenly felt uncertain.
When Ling Feng approached, seeing her slightly lowered head, he hooked her chin with a finger and asked calmly: "Do you really think I am interested in every woman I meet?"
