Chapter 1422: A Lead Emerges
Duan Feihong and Mu Yuhan both were momentarily stunned, then simultaneously asked, "What’s up?"
"Nothing, nothing, I just recently developed an interest in nuclear physics. If there’s time, I’d like to ask Miss Mu for some guidance!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Duan Feihong’s eyes flashed, giving him a thoughtful look.
Ling Feng knew she misunderstood, quickly waved his hand and said, "Don’t overthink it, I’m not up to anything else; it’s genuinely for research!"
"Oh."
Duan Feihong wasn’t familiar with matters related to the Eighth Layer of Heaven, so she didn’t ask much.
After sitting down, Ling Feng brewed a pot of Lingyun Tea for the two of them, then asked, "By the way, have you sorted out your accommodation? It seems Shiliu Village is already full!"
"Everything is pre-arranged, Yuhan and I are staying by the villa side!" Duan Feihong said.
"Oh, that’s good then!"
Ling Feng nodded, pondering whether to take Mu Yuhan to Nine Heavens.
But just then, the other party spoke first, "Mr. Ling, although it’s our first meeting, we’re not strangers at all!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and asked her, "What do you mean by that?"
"I’ve heard my uncle mention you, so I’m somewhat familiar with your affairs!"
Mu Yuhan smiled and continued, "I’m also with the security bureau, holding a position at headquarters!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised, then asked, "Who is your uncle?"
"Han Wancheng!"
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng slapped his thigh, then laughed, "Then there’s nothing to hide. I was wondering how Feihong brought a stranger, wasn’t sure how to handle things related to Nine Heavens!"
"I’ve heard about it long ago, don’t worry, Mr. Ling, I won’t mention the Nine Heavens affair to anyone!" Mu Yuhan smiled.
"I certainly trust you, but Old Han was not quite fair, he didn’t keep it secret from me!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Mu Yuhan glanced at him, "You can’t blame my uncle for this, actually there’s a special group at the headquarters, studying this mysterious space of yours."
"Of course, we also don’t want to disturb your life, so we’re just gathering information, not consulting you on anything."
Ling Feng thought it made sense, the existence of Nine Heavens was beyond everyone’s understanding; it’s no wonder if Han Wancheng was interested!
Studying the matter is understandable.
So, Ling Feng nodded, "If that’s the case, then I’ll take you to Nine Heavens; coincidentally, almost everyone is there."
"Great!"
Although Mu Yuhan appeared very composed on the surface, she was extremely excited inside.
After teleporting to Nine Heavens, Ling Feng said to Duan Feihong, "Could you please show Miss Mu around?"
"Sure!"
Duan Feihong obliged without hesitation and nodded immediately.
Watching the two leave, Ling Feng hurriedly headed straight for the Eighth Layer of Heaven!
He couldn’t hold back anymore, quickly drove a mining vehicle a bit inside, then collected a large pile of soil, packed it up, and put it in his bracelet.
But analyzing this stuff would have to wait.
After finishing, he returned to his home in Shiliu Village and dialed Han Wancheng.
As soon as the call was connected, Han Wancheng immediately said, "I’ll be leaving this afternoon, no need to rush me!"
"I’m not rushing you to come over; I’m calling to seek justice from you!" Ling Feng said.
Han Wancheng was momentarily stunned, and with a quick thought, he immediately understood what Ling Feng meant.
So he laughed and asked, "What? You’ve already met Yuhan?"
"Yeah, Old Han, that’s not fair, keeping this from me!" Ling Feng said angrily.
"Whether I tell you or not, what’s the difference?" Han Wancheng countered.
"There’s really no difference; I’m not the director, after all, I can’t interfere with your work!"
Ling Feng said, then added, "Anyway, I’m just not happy with it, so what’s your plan?"
"Plan? When I get there, I’ll make it up to you, what else?" Han Wancheng laughed.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Make it up? How?"
"You’ll find out when I get there; my flight is at one o’clock, and I’ll be in the county by three, come pick me up!" Han Wancheng said.
"Uh, okay."
Still, considering he’s a big leader, Ling Feng agreed readily.
Now that the county’s airport was operational, it had made travel from all over Huaxia more convenient, and even international routes were in the planning.
After quickly tidying up, Ling Feng drove to the county.
After waiting at the airport for a while, he saw Han Wancheng coming out with a small bag slung across him.
Seeing him like that, Ling Feng couldn’t help but smile and said, "No way, such a big director, not only came alone but just brought a small bag?"
"What else? I’m not a celebrity; do I need to bring seven or eight assistants?" Han Wancheng gave him a glance.
"True, once you get to Longyuan, Zhang He is your assistant, no need for so many others!"
Ling Feng chuckled and led him into the car.
On the way back to Longyuan, Ling Feng eagerly asked, "Director Han, Mu Yuhan works at the Academy of Sciences, right?"
"What do you want to ask? I warn you, don’t have designs on my niece!" Han Wancheng looked wary.
"What are you thinking? I’m just wondering if she studies nuclear physics, does she have a dedicated lab or something?" Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said.
Han Wancheng looked at him with curiosity, "Why do you ask?"
"Keeping it a secret for now, not telling you!"
Ling Feng said mysteriously while driving.
"Fine, then I won’t tell you anything either!" Han Wancheng said.
Ling Feng: "..."
Once the car arrived at Longyuan, Zhang He was already waiting, and as soon as Han Wancheng got out, he enthusiastically approached and said, "Boss, the journey must have been tiring!"
"Not bad, now that the flight is available, traveling here is much more convenient!"
Han Wancheng said, stepping inside, "Let’s handle the official business first!"
Ling Feng and Zhang He were both momentarily stunned, simultaneously asking, "What official business?"
"Follow me downstairs to the meeting room!"
Han Wancheng had been to Longyuan many times, was very familiar with the layout, and headed straight to the basement on his own.
Ling Feng and Zhang He had to follow, and the three entered the meeting room.
After putting down the bag, Han Wancheng took out two sets of credentials and two medals from it.
Seeing this, Zhang He felt a jolt in his heart, "Come on, boss, are you really doing this so casually?"
Han Wancheng glanced at him, "What? You want a grand awarding ceremony too?"
"Not necessary, there isn’t time for it anyway!" Zhang He said with an awkward laugh.
"These are your new credentials!"
Han Wancheng handed the two sets of credentials to Ling Feng and Zhang He.
Upon opening them, Ling Feng’s eyes widened instantly.
Because he found that his military rank had been directly promoted by two levels!
