Chapter 1398: Big Shot
Having tasted the rich flavor of the rice wine, Lin Huaqiang and Lin Hu couldn’t stop praising it, and both of them ended up having a few more cups.
Ling Feng and Lin Xue accompanied them, and the four of them drank quite a bit, finishing off an entire three-kilogram jar of rice wine.
As a result, everyone was slightly drunk, but didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
"Ling Feng, the tea has a name, how come this rice wine doesn’t have one?" Lin Huaqiang asked with a flushed face, smiling.
"That’s my fault for overlooking it. How about Uncle Lin, you help me come up with a name?" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
"Alright!"
Lin Huaqiang thought for a moment and then said, "Since it’s a product of your Ling Corporation, it should naturally bear your unique label. The tea is called Ling Yun, so how about naming the wine Lingxiao?"
"Great!"
Ling Feng slapped his thigh and immediately nodded in agreement!
The name was bold enough, and he really liked it.
So without further ado, he called Tang Xiaoqian, asking her to arrange for someone to design a label. Now that his wine had a name, it naturally needed labels!
Tang Xiaoqian chuckled on the other end and nodded, saying, "That’s a great name. I’ll find someone to do it right away. By the way, Ling Feng, when are you coming over?"
"Not sure yet, why?" Ling Feng asked.
"Nothing much, just come over when you have time, we’ll talk then." Tang Xiaoqian said.
"Alright, I understand!"
Ling Feng nodded and hung up the phone.
By this time, they were pleasantly tipsy, and dinner was nearing its end. Just as he was about to help clean up the table, the phone rang.
This time, it was a local Demon Capital number, and Ling Feng quickly answered it.
"Mr. Ling, regarding Catherine, we now know that she is one of the leaders of the Holy Light Society," the caller said.
"What?"
Ling Feng’s voice shot up several pitches, almost breaking.
"Yes, it’s confirmed!" the caller said.
"Alright, I understand, report this. She’s already escaped, unfortunately, we missed a big catch!" Ling Feng said helplessly.
After telling Lin Xue about Catherine’s identity, she was also a bit surprised, not expecting that such an important figure from the Holy Light Society would dare to come to Huaxia.
Seeing Ling Feng’s dejection, she smiled and said, "It’s alright, our satellite has already locked onto that ship!"
"What’s the use of that?" Ling Feng said speechlessly.
"Of course, it’s useful! Now that she’s locked on, wherever this woman goes in the future, there will be traces to follow!" Lin Xue said.
Ling Feng still felt it was meaningless. Since she had escaped, she probably wouldn’t come back to Huaxia in her lifetime.
And he couldn’t possibly go to America to track her down because of such a matter.
This matter came to an end, and as it was getting late, Ling Feng and Lin Xue stayed at the Lin Family for the night.
The next morning, the two bid farewell to Lin Huaqiang and Lin Hu and set off on their journey back.
As Catherine’s matter had already been reported up the chain, Ling Feng no longer worried about it.
Upon returning to the Ling Corporation, Lin Xue went to report to Longyuan, while Ling Feng teleported to Shankou Village.
When Tang Xiaoqian called before, she didn’t say much, but he had a feeling there might be something up, so he hurried over.
Arriving at the winery, he saw orderly production and nodded in satisfaction, then found Tang Xiaoqian: "Sister Xiaoqian, I’m here."
"You came so fast, come with me!"
Tang Xiaoqian said, then walked away from the winery.
Ling Feng followed her, and seeing they were heading towards her house, he asked curiously, "What’s going on?"
"You’ll know when we get home."
Tang Xiaoqian smiled, and the two went back home. Upon entering, Ling Feng was stunned to see a room full of things.
"These are gifts prepared for you by the people of Tang Family Village. They know you’re as elusive as the Divine Dragon, so they left them here with me for you to take when you come," Tang Xiaoqian laughed.
Ling Feng looked speechless and sighed, "This is too thoughtful, I really don’t need these!"
The gifts were just some grains, free-range eggs, and homemade pancakes and bean buns, things that Shiliu Village also had, which he really didn’t need.
Tang Xiaoqian looked at him, "I know, but everyone insisted on giving them!"
"It’s the villagers’ way of expressing their goodwill; there’s nothing valuable at home, so this is the best they could offer."
Ling Feng hummed and said, "Alright, I’ll accept them. I understand everyone’s feelings."
With that, he put all the items into his Space Bracelet.
Then he looked up at Tang Xiaoqian: "Sister, the New Year is coming. Haven’t you prepared any New Year goods?"
"I was planning to buy some, but Yuhe told me that during the New Year, I’ll be at Nine Heavens, so I don’t need to prepare anything at home; we’ll celebrate over there!" Tang Xiaoqian said.
"Oh, that’s good too, more people, more joy!"
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "What about Lingling?"
"Her? You should ask her yourself, I can’t tell you!" Tang Xiaoqian smiled.
"Alright then, I’ll go find her later. That girl is soon going on holiday!" Ling Feng nodded.
After that, the two parted ways, one went to the winery, and the other went to the village’s primary school.
The school guard already knew Ling Feng, and seeing him, opened the gate without a word.
At that moment, the class bell rang, and soon many children were running around the playground. Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled. Even in this cold weather, these kids were not afraid of the cold!
That’s the nature of children, after all.
Just then, Mu Lingling, carrying a few books, came out of the classroom and, seeing him, ran over with a face full of joy, "Brother Ling, what brings you here?"
"Sister Xiaoqian called me over, so I thought I’d drop by to see you."
Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Have you arranged your winter vacation plans?"
"Yes, Sister Jiaolan found a training class for me in the county town, so I’ll study there. During the New Year, I’ll celebrate with you all!" Mu Lingling nodded and said.
"Great, that puts my mind at ease!"
Ling Feng patted her head, "If you went too far, I’d have to make a special trip to see you. Being near the Ling Corporation makes it much more convenient!"
In front of the school’s teachers and students, Mu Lingling’s face turned red, and she quickly looked down.
Ling Feng loved seeing girls blush like this, but before he could enjoy it, his phone rang.
Upon answering, Zhang He immediately asked, "Where are you? Come back quickly!"
"Why? What’s happened?"
Hearing the urgency in the voice, Ling Feng immediately asked.
"There’s something important, hurry back!" Zhang He said.
"Alright, see you in half an hour."
Ling Feng hung up the phone, looked at Mu Lingling, and said, "I have to go, see you later!"
"Okay, I have class soon too, see you another day!"
Mu Lingling nodded, turned, and went back to the office.
Ling Feng teleported back to Longyuan in one go and found Zhang He: "In such a rush, what happened?"
