Chapter 1490 - 1489: Clue
After dawn, the hallway was cleaned up, and the couple in the room opposite also received compensation from the hotel.
As for the hotel’s losses, Ling Feng directly paid a sum of money.
After all, it was Xia Lan and Ling Ling who took action, although the hotel was also responsible for not stopping those two people from sneaking in. But since it’s a private enterprise, they don’t have the ability to stop two individuals who clearly are not ordinary people.
Therefore, Ling Feng didn’t want to dwell too much on it, and decided to resolve it by paying compensation, focusing his energy on investigating the Tongtian Cult situation.
Because of this incident, after dawn he went to Xia Lan’s room and explained the situation to them.
After listening, Xia Lan nodded: "If that’s the case, let’s delay for a day. You go to the security bureau to see if there are any leads. I’m also quite interested in this Tongtian Cult now."
"Okay, you two wait for me at the hotel. Once I have news, I’ll notify you immediately!" Ling Feng nodded.
As a result, Xia Lan smiled: "How about this, I’ll stay, and you take Ling Ling along; you might have an unexpected discovery!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was stunned, and then he understood her meaning.
Since those two guys targeted them, it indicates these people have some special abilities, perhaps they discovered something different about them, which led to their sneaky infiltration at night.
If that’s the case, then why not lure them out? By bringing Ling Ling along, they might encounter people from the Tongtian Cult!
Ling Ling had no objections either, so Ling Feng nodded in agreement.
After waiting until eight o’clock in the morning, the two went downstairs and left the hotel together.
It was still winter and this was the north, so there weren’t many people on the streets. The ones who ventured out were mostly wrapped up thickly and walked hurriedly.
But Ling Feng and Ling Ling were different; the temperature didn’t bother them, so they wore less.
After leaving the hotel, they hailed a taxi, and Ling Feng gave the address of the security bureau.
The driver quickly took them to the destination. Once they got out, Ling Feng noticed it was actually an office building.
Upon entering the lobby, Lin Chen was already waiting.
Ling Feng had met him before, but he hadn’t had a chance to see Ling Ling’s face last night, so upon seeing her, Lin Chen’s eyes went a little wide.
"This is Ling Ling, she can be considered part of the security bureau now." Ling Feng introduced.
"Hello Miss Ling!"
Lin Chen quickly reached out, intending to shake hands with Ling Ling.
But Ling Ling clearly hadn’t accepted human etiquette yet, so there was no reaction.
Seeing this, Lin Chen felt a bit awkward and chuckled, looking towards Ling Feng: "Miss Ling must be your sister, Colonel Ling?"
"If you want to understand it that way, that’s fine!"
Ling Feng smiled and said no more; the three of them passed through security and boarded the elevator.
Afterward, they took the elevator to the top floor and arrived at the local branch office.
Exiting the elevator, they found the layout here completely different from the office floor below; it was a specially constructed sunroom on the rooftop.
Because it’s single-sided glass, you can’t see inside from outside. Once inside, the surroundings and overhead are all transparent, directly showing the bright blue sky.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng found it very interesting, and Ling Ling was full of curiosity, her eyes wide as she surveyed the area.
The two followed Lin Chen into an office, and after sitting down, he immediately produced a file: "This is all the intelligence we have on the Tongtian Cult."
Ling Feng nodded and took a look.
The content was indeed sparse; Tongtian Cult’s name had only appeared on the local security bureau’s radar three months ago.
The identity of the Leader of the Tongtian Sect was mysterious; there were no images of him, and it’s unknown whether he is male or female, or of what age.
And the reason it appeared on the security bureau’s radar was mainly because a cult member committed crimes, and after being captured, revealed some details about them.
But since this person had only joined for two months, they did not know much.
Ling Feng read it from beginning to end and found that Tongtian Cult’s known activities were mainly focused on enticing newly emerged superpower users, intending to recruit them into the cult.
This was clearly an attempt to expand their forces!
After reading, Ling Feng raised his head: "So besides last night’s incident, you don’t have any other leads to continue pursuing them?"
"Yes!"
Lin Chen nodded, continuing: "But we’ve already confirmed the identity of one of the two from last night, they indeed come from Yinzhou City. My sister has already gone to investigate."
"Your sister, that’s Lin Yu, right?" Ling Feng asked.
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes!"
"When will they be back?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
"They should be back soon. If you’re in a hurry, Colonel Ling, I can call to check." Lin Chen said.
"No rush, let’s wait!"
Ling Feng didn’t want his actions to affect their work, so he shook his head.
Then he and Ling Ling waited in the security bureau until ten in the morning when Lin Yu rushed back in a flurry.
Seeing Ling Feng, she immediately reported the situation.
However, the situation disappointed Ling Feng.
Apparently, people from Tongtian Cult had learned of the plans in advance, as that person’s home had been vacated, leaving nothing behind.
But Lin Yu didn’t make the trip in vain; she spent much time contacting the police department and obtained some surveillance footage from near the individual’s home, and finally found something.
The move overnight was done by a small truck, with four people dressed in blue uniforms, all wearing hats and masks, concealing their identities.
But the truck’s license plate was recorded, and the owner’s information has been found.
It’s the only lead, but Lin Yu called on the way back and found out the truck belongs to a moving company. The vehicle was hired for a high price last night, only the truck, without the company’s driver.
Hence, this lead’s value isn’t high; now the police are helping to track the truck’s movements, possibly finding where the items were relocated.
After hearing this, Ling Feng smiled: "Okay, let’s wait for the news. Call me when there’s a breakthrough!"
"Colonel Ling, are you heading back?" Lin Chen quickly asked.
"Yes, I won’t disturb you any longer." Ling Feng said.
Lin Chen glanced at Ling Ling, as if mustering courage, suddenly said: "Why don’t you stay, I’ll treat you to lunch!"
"No, Ling Feng and I will have lunch ourselves!"
Ling Ling, who hadn’t spoken much until now, suddenly held Ling Feng’s arm, smiling as she said this.
The moment she said that, not just Lin Chen, but Ling Feng was also stunned!
However, Ling Feng reacted quickly, immediately chuckling and nodding: "Yes, we wouldn’t want to interrupt you. We still have a friend at the hotel waiting for us to return!"
