The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1450: Alliance

Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Catherine chuckled and said, "At this point, Mr. Ling, there’s no need to play dumb, is there?"

After saying this, she counted on her fingers, "Since Mr. Ling’s rise, the Black Dragon Sect from Mianluo Country, Master Kong Kong of the Golden Triangle, and that mysterious Shakya Tribe, haven’t all these people or organizations already pledged allegiance to you?"

"Wow, you really know quite a bit, huh?" Ling Feng said in astonishment.

"Don’t underestimate our intelligence-gathering capabilities. While Mr. Ling has someone like Gu Li, who is indeed a rare intelligence talent, we also have the Central Intelligence Agency, with thousands of people keeping an eye on events happening around the globe!" Catherine stated.

Hearing this, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "So what you’re saying is that you now admit the Holy Light Society is aligned with the American government?"

"That’s right, we’ve been funded by the government all along, so there’s nothing to hide!" Catherine nodded.

Ling Feng laughed, "Good, you’re quite candid!"

Then he continued to ask, "So, you’re seeking my protection, right?"

"Yes!"

Catherine nodded, "But I don’t represent the government, just a small faction within the Holy Light Society!"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng looked at her, "You’re the leader of this organization, yet you can’t represent everyone?"

"Our organizational structure is more complex than you think. Internally, the personnel is diverse and the interests they represent are different, so I can’t speak for everyone’s opinions." Catherine explained.

"And you can still form an alliance with me on behalf of the Holy Light Society?"

Ling Feng sneered, "All you can do is persuade a small portion to no longer be my enemy, right?"

"Not only that, I can also pass on the intelligence you need at any time!" Catherine added.

This piqued Ling Feng’s interest.

But he found it a bit unbelievable, so he looked at her, "Aren’t you betraying your own country by doing this?"

"Of course not!"

Catherine shook her head, "Conveying intelligence and betrayal are two different things!"

Ling Feng: "...."

Somehow, her words sounded a little far-fetched.

However, he soon understood and asked, "So what you’re saying is, you won’t tell me any American classified information, only convey other kinds, right?"

"Following you out, they won’t trust me when I return. Do you think I can still access any secrets?" Catherine laughed bitterly, looking into Ling Feng’s eyes.

This question left Ling Feng momentarily speechless.

Indeed, there was something that felt off before, and now it became clear!

Of course, the Americans knew Catherine’s identity, and as a contact, she actually followed someone from the Security Bureau, essentially ruining her future!

Understanding the situation, Ling Feng chuckled bitterly and shook his head, "You’ve really gone all out!"

"It’s only natural, burn the boats!"

Catherine shrugged, then continued, "This is all benefit and no harm for you, I can’t understand why you wouldn’t agree."

"One man’s honey is another man’s poison; it’s certainly a good thing for you, but for me, not necessarily the same!"

Ling Feng laughed, looking into Catherine’s eyes, "I won’t promise you immediately. I still need to consider this carefully!"

"No problem, I can wait!"

Catherine shrugged, looking indifferent.

Ling Feng said no more, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Catherine immediately followed.

Turning back to look at her, Ling Feng asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"

"Wherever you go, I’ll follow!" Catherine was determined, biting her lip.

"Fine, then I’ll go to the restroom, you can wait at the door!"

Ling Feng said, heading straight to the backyard.

"..."

Catherine was helpless, having no choice but to watch him leave.

No matter if what Ling Feng said was true or not, she didn’t want to follow anymore.

Once she stayed back, Ling Feng disappeared in a blink of an eye.

His Divine Sense detected that Catherine remained in the house, so he immediately teleported to Nine Heavens.

After a detour, he headed straight for Longyuan and arrived at Zhang He’s office.

Upon entering, Zhang He saw it was him and immediately smiled and asked, "Huh? You’re not keeping the beautiful Western lady company, why come to see me?"

"Brother, do me a favor, I’m at a bit of a loss here!"

With a helpless look, Ling Feng quickly recounted Catherine’s request.

After listening, Zhang He pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "If this woman were in ancient Huaxia, she would definitely be a heroine!"

"What do you mean?"

Ling Feng looked puzzled, not understanding at all.

"Such courage is worthy to be called a hero cutting off his own arm!"

Zhang He commented, then analyzed, "After Catherine goes back, they will surely suspect she did something, but she can easily brush it off by saying she was investigating the source of Helium-3. The so-called suspicion of identity, and not being reused later, is almost impossible!"

"Do you think the Americans would easily abandon such a formidable figure?"

With Zhang He’s reminder, Ling Feng nodded, "Makes sense, and then?"

Zhang He chuckled, "And then, whether it’s true or false, there’s no harm in agreeing to her. As long as you don’t give her what she wants, but take what you want from her, over time, when you really determine her sincerity, and believe she truly wants to follow you, then you can trust her, can’t you?"

Seeing Ling Feng silent, he continued, "This kind of approach, we in Huaxia already have an old saying for it!"

"Don’t cast your net until you see the rabbit!"

Ling Feng and Zhang He both said in unison.

After a shared smile, Ling Feng looked at Zhang He, "Isn’t this a bit unsophisticated?"

"That depends on you."

Zhang He shrugged, "If you don’t want to hurt the beauty’s heart, you can now take her to Nine Heavens, lay out your secrets, and I have no objections!"

"Get out of here, I’m not that easily charmed!"

Ling Feng cursed playfully, stood up, and said, "Fine, I’ll go back and agree with this lady. She’s become such a tag-along, almost followed me to the bathroom!"

"...."

Zhang He looked speechless, giving him a sidelong glance, "You don’t have to tell me everything, you’re clearly just showing off!"

Ling Feng chuckled, turned and left.

He then teleported straight back home and saw Catherine sitting in a chair with her head down, looking utterly dejected.

"Now you know how boring it is to stay in the village, right?"

Ling Feng said, reaching out his hand, "Come on, I’ll take you to the county town!"

"Why?"

Catherine looked up surprised, asking him.

"To celebrate our successful cooperation, shouldn’t we at least have a feast?" Ling Feng laughed.

Catherine was overjoyed, "You agreed?"

Ling Feng nodded, "I agreed, but I also have one condition!"
