Chapter 1393: Following the Trail
Having agreed upon the time and place, Ling Feng said to Lin Xue, "We’ll leave in an hour. Do you want to freshen up first?"
"No need, right? Once we’ve caught the person and handed them over to the safety bureau, we’ll head back!" Lin Xue replied.
"What’s the rush? It’s dark already. Let’s stay here for the night!" Ling Feng laughed.
"But the bureau..."
Before Lin Xue could finish her concern, Ling Feng interrupted her immediately, "Someone at the bureau will take over your work. The fact that there’s been no follow-up call already speaks volumes. Besides, it’s been so long since we’ve been together. Don’t you miss me?"
"Um..."
Lin Xue blushed instantly from the question and then shot Ling Feng a look, "You do know, huh? I’ve gotten used to it!"
"Hehe, just a bit busy, you know. Now we have the chance, so I’ll spend the night well with you!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Alright, I’m off to freshen up. You carry on with your actions tonight; come back early!"
Lin Xue, secretly delighted, blushingly rushed to the bathroom.
Seeing her shy demeanor, Ling Feng almost didn’t want to leave.
But he had important matters to attend to anyway; there’s plenty of time in the long night, so there’s no rush!
After sitting for a while, when the time was about right, Ling Feng got up and headed out, hailing a cab to go to the Electric Institute.
This school is a technical college, originally not very famous, with most students coming from surrounding areas; it’s just an unremarkable little school.
But as the only higher education institution in the county town, it was still quite renowned locally.
Arriving at the school gate, Ling Feng paid the cab fare and saw Ma Hao and Sun Lei waiting across the street.
Crossing the street to come face to face with them, Ling Feng looked at the two: "Just you two?"
"Yeah, I was the one buying, so why would there be anyone else?" Ma Hao questioned in response.
Ling Feng smiled and, covering the surroundings with Divine Sense, asked, "Really? That guy named He Wei didn’t show?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Ma Hao and Sun Lei were astonished, and Ling Feng already discovered a man in a nearby car turning livid!
"That’s him!"
Having locked on to his target, Ling Feng sneered, and in an instant, he appeared beside the car!
The man in the car saw Ling Feng approaching, his eyes widened in utter disbelief!
Seeing him attempt to open the car door, the man promptly pressed the lock button!
But unfortunately, with a yank, Ling Feng ripped off the entire car door!
Under the man’s terrified gaze, Ling Feng reached in and pulled him out: "You’re He Wei, right?"
"Who, who are you?"
The man was terrified and struggled hard to ask.
This was just an ordinary guy, completely unable to break free from Ling Feng’s grip. Seeing him like this, Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Who I am doesn’t matter, what’s important is who you are!"
"Having students search for Meteorite, buying it up when found, and also hiring some laborers to venture into the mountain, making them rob others by force, you’re quite fond of Meteorite, aren’t you?"
Upon hearing this, He Wei’s face turned deathly pale!
He originally thought those laborers hadn’t returned, but now he knew they had met some mishap!
And judging by Ling Feng’s tone, the opponent had grasped all the clues, leaving him no choice but to admit it!
So after his initial shock, He Wei became a bit calmer and then said, "Yes, I’m just fond of Meteorite and asked people to find it for me. What’s wrong with that?"
"There’s nothing wrong, but those laborers used guns to threaten the people who picked up the Meteorite. Do you find that reasonable?" Ling Feng asked.
"That has nothing to do with me, I never instructed them to rob others!"
He Wei puffed his chest and looked at Ling Feng: "Moreover, if I indeed wanted to rob, why would I offer a price through Ma Hao?"
"Hmm, you do have a point!"
Ling Feng nodded, then smiled, "Now tell me, who instructed you to do this?"
"What instruction, I’ve already said, this is just my pure hobby!" He Wei continued to argue stubbornly.
And Ling Feng, having already extracted information from his mind, squinted: "Wow, I didn’t expect that the Holy Light Society had infiltrated into such a small school like yours?"
He Wei: "..."
He was completely stunned, not having spoken those three words at all!
He looked at Ling Feng, stammered, and asked: "Wha, what did you say?"
"Tell me, how did you get involved with the Holy Light Society?" Ling Feng continued questioning.
"..."
He Wei was dumbfounded again.
Ling Feng, having extracted information from his mind, squinted his eyes: "Your classmate named Shen Liang, where is he now?"
"..."
"Great!"
Although He Wei remained silent, Ling Feng had already obtained intelligence, so he threw him to the ground and picked up the phone to call Lin Xue.
After notifying her, Ma Hao and Sun Lei walked over, trembling: "Mr. Ling, who exactly are you?"
"My identity doesn’t concern you. Do either of you know what identity He Wei holds?" Ling Feng asked.
"He’s, he’s just our counselor, we don’t know about any other identity!" Ma Hao quickly shook his head.
"Whether you know or not, explain everything clearly to the people from the safety bureau later. If there’s nothing related, you’ll be released soon!" Ling Feng said.
"...."
Ma Hao and Sun Lei were bewildered.
They exchanged glances, both somewhat shivering, evidently quite scared.
Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Don’t be nervous, we’re catching bad guys. You haven’t done anything wrong, why be afraid?"
"Yes, yes, that’s true!"
Ma Hao nodded and then gave a bittersweet smile, "We just haven’t seen such things before..."
"You’ll grow used to it!"
Ling Feng smiled, even though he didn’t use the Mind Soul Art on them, he could feel that these two indeed didn’t seem like problematic individuals.
After twenty minutes, a safety bureau vehicle arrived to take the three onto the car.
The staff on the vehicle then asked, "Colonel Ling, are you not coming with us?"
Ling Feng shook his head, "No, it’s a small matter that I won’t be involved in. I’ll go after He Wei’s superior tomorrow!"
"Alright, we’ll keep in touch then!"
The man nodded, closed the car door, and the car then left.
Ling Feng turned to look at the school, hailed a cab, and returned to the hotel.
Once inside the room, Lin Xue had already finished freshening up and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Seeing him return, Lin Xue quickly got up and asked, "How did it go?"
"The man was caught, and we found out it was his classmate who induced it, gathering all information about Huaxia. That person named Shen Liang is currently in Demon Capital!"
"Good!"
Lin Xue nodded and immediately picked up the tablet on the table to start searching.
Seeing she was only wrapped in a bathrobe with an exquisite figure, Ling Feng swallowed his saliva, "Can’t this wait until tomorrow? The night is short for spring romance!"
Lin Xue glanced up at him, "No rush, you freshen up first while I check Shen Liang’s information!"
"Alright then."
Ling Feng, reluctantly, turned to go into the bathroom.
