Chapter 1341: Prudence
"I did not!"
Shinozuka Haruko flatly denied Ling Feng’s question.
At the same time, Ling Feng also saw the answer he wanted from the intense activity in her mind.
Her heart was incredibly conflicted. She wanted to complete her mission and completely eliminate Kunshan Yi’s group, but she didn’t know how to face Ling Feng.
Although waves surged inside her, she wasn’t genuinely willing to agree to Ling Feng’s demand. For a woman, that was too humiliating!
Seeing these thoughts, Ling Feng oh’d softly, nodded slightly, and said: "It seems I misunderstood you!"
"What?"
Shinozuka Haruko was startled, raised her head in surprise, and saw Ling Feng’s eyes flickering like starlight, causing her heart to skip a beat!
"So, you truly want to eliminate Kunshan Yi and don’t harbor any malicious intent. In that case, I’ll agree to help you!"
Ling Feng chuckled and released his hand.
"Phew!"
Shinozuka Haruko let out a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
Ling Feng looked at her: "Don’t worry, although I’m not a good person, I’m not going to force you into something you don’t want to do. I’ve already agreed, so don’t think about any reward. Just go back first."
"And you..."
Shinozuka Haruko was overjoyed but couldn’t help asking: "When can you help me with this?"
"Is it urgent?" Ling Feng asked.
"Kunshan Yi has been in seclusion for a month and is expected to come out in forty-nine days. Once he masters the evil skills, it’ll be hard to eliminate him!" Shinozuka Haruko said.
"Mm, got it!"
Ling Feng contemplated for a moment and then said: "I’ll settle things first and head to Dongying as soon as I can to find him!"
"He’s not in Dongying, he’s in Ryukyu. But it’s about the same — I’ll support you then!" Shinozuka Haruko said.
"Alright, I’ll contact you through Shao Zhi!" Ling Feng nodded.
Seeing that things were settled, Shinozuka Haruko got up and said: "I won’t leave Harbor Island for now. I’ll wait for Mr. Ling’s news!"
After speaking, she turned and left, quickly getting into a car.
Ling Feng stood at the door, watching her leave, then immediately returned to his room and called Zhang He.
After explaining the situation, Zhang Hao was at a loss for words.
He pondered a while before saying: "Bro, what’s the use of telling me this? As a division chief, what authority do I have to agree? You should talk to Old Han!"
"Nonsense, of course I know that!"
Ling Feng bitterly smiled and then said: "I called you not for permission but to hear your opinion!"
"Oh, you want to know what I think? That’s simple, if I were you, I’d agree too!" Zhang He said.
However, he added, "But you have to first figure out if this is a trap; if Shadow Group is digging a pit for you, a trap — then you’re walking right into it!"
"I know!"
Ling Feng nodded, continuing: "I’m confident that Shinozuka Haruko isn’t setting me up. She genuinely wants to get rid of Kunshan Yi because this guy has gone mad and is totally a fanatic!"
"That’s good, once that is confirmed, you should act when it’s time. That way you eliminate a potential threat early; let that guy come out, who knows what trouble he might cause!" Zhang He said.
"Mm!"
Ling Feng nodded, then said: "I’ll call Old Han now. Once he agrees, I’ll prepare to go to Dongying to handle this."
After hanging up, he called Han Wancheng.
This time after speaking, silence fell on Han Wancheng’s side directly.
Ling Feng almost thought the line was disconnected, and after a minute, just when he was about to ask what Han Wancheng was thinking, he heard: "You should be cautious with this matter."
"Why?" Ling Feng asked, a bit perplexed.
He thought Han Wancheng would agree immediately, but he didn’t expect him to say that.
"We’ve been monitoring Shadow Group, and we’ve gathered considerable intel about them. This organization is no longer just a civilian group; there is infiltration by Dongying’s military forces. Their motives now have a military directive!"
"Dealing with the leader of Shadow Group isn’t a huge problem, but it will involve many issues post-success. You need to consider the full scope!"
Ling Feng oh’d in acknowledgment, then asked: "Boss, how long do you need to think?"
"Don’t rush, I’ll get back to you within a day!"
Han Wancheng said, then hung up the call.
Ling Feng sat on the sofa, thinking to himself that it’s rare to see him so cautious; this indeed isn’t as simple as he originally thought!
But it doesn’t matter, let the others handle the thinking; he just has to wait for the news!
By noon, Zheng Yitong and Sato Saori were back.
The two women were carrying large and small bags, apparently having bought plenty.
As they entered, Sato Saori shouted excitedly: "Ling Feng, come quickly, Yitong bought you a lot of clothes, try them on!"
"Bought clothes for me?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and felt quite flattered, so he laughed and said: "Why buy me clothes? I’m not short of clothes!"
"You’re often wearing the same clothes, not bothering to change them, so I got you some spares!"
Zheng Yitong smiled as she handed over bags containing men’s clothes.
Ling Feng looked at the bags almost entirely for him, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart, so he smiled, "Thanks, huh!"
"No need!"
Zheng Yitong smiled gently, looking calm.
"Let’s go, let’s change clothes."
Sato Saori exclaimed, pulling her to the guest room on the first floor.
Ling Feng didn’t try the clothes; he put them all in the Space Bracelet, planning to take them out when needed.
After about ten minutes, Sato Saori and Zheng Yitong emerged from the room, each wearing a gauze dress, one white, the other pink, looking youthful and charming!
Ling Feng glanced at them a couple of times, and Sato Saori immediately asked: "How is it? Beautiful, isn’t it?"
"Of course, when someone is beautiful, anything they wear looks good!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Smart talk!"
Sato Saori smiled slightly, pulling Zheng Yitong to sit down, then asked: "Do you have any plans for today?"
"Not really, why?" Ling Feng asked.
"That’s good, this afternoon we’re going to Disneyland; you should come with us!" Sato Saori said.
Ling Feng was a bit surprised: "An amusement park?"
"Yeah!"
Sato Saori nodded, then put on a stern face and asked threateningly: "What? You don’t want to go?"
"No, isn’t it a place for kids?" Ling Feng asked, feeling a bit helpless.
"Says who? Adults and kids can both play. You’ll see for yourself when you get there!" Sato Saori said.
Ling Feng could only nod: "Alright, I’ll go with you and take a look then!"
