The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1497 - 1496: Promoted to Bureau Chief

Just like that, what started as a mission to eliminate Tian Lian ended up with her being recruited after a bit of persuasion.

Although she hadn’t officially agreed yet, it was obvious that now by Ling Feng’s side, he certainly wouldn’t let her leave.

As for how to explain this to Xia Lan and the others, he’d deal with that later.

Ling Feng wasn’t sure whether Xia Lan and Ling Ling would agree to spare Tian Lian, but the chances seemed quite high.

Tian Lian transformed into a jade bracelet, which Ling Feng collected, and he then left the villa.

At the entrance of the residential area, the same security guard was still standing there.

Ling Feng exchanged a glance with him, and the guard immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see him.

With a slight smile, Ling Feng walked away and soon returned to Lin Chen and Lin Yu’s car.

As soon as the car door closed, Lin Chen immediately asked, "Major, how did it go?"

"Do you think I’d fail? It’s already resolved!" Ling Feng replied with a smile.

Lin Chen wasn’t satisfied with such a simple answer and pressed on, "What I mean is, how did you resolve it?"

Ling Feng chuckled, "I won’t go into details. Let’s just say, Tian Lian isn’t the Leader of the Tongtian Sect. That person isn’t in Yinzhou City, and as for where they are, we still need further investigation. This person’s influence has already spread widely. You two should report this straight to the main bureau; we can’t delay any longer!"

Lin Chen and Lin Yu exchanged a glance and quickly nodded, "Got it. We’ll report it!"

With that matter wrapped up, Ling Feng returned to the hotel and went to Xia Lan and Ling Ling’s room.

As soon as Xia Lan saw Ling Feng return, she immediately asked, "How did it go?"

"The situation is mostly resolved, but we still need to have a chat."

Smiling, Ling Feng sat down and explained the situation with Tian Lian.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the two women fell silent.

Seeing their reaction, Ling Feng curiously asked, "What’s the matter?"

"We’re supposed to be looking for the old Cauldron, and it turns out it’s become sentient!" Xia Lan said.

Ling Feng gave a bitter smile, "I had a feeling it was something like this, and indeed it was!"

He then looked at Xia Lan, "Now Tian Lian thinks she’s on a dark path, so she’s afraid to see you, fearing you’ll either recruit or destroy her. Would you really do that?"

"Of course!"

Xia Lan nodded, "The Cauldron was originally a condensation of heaven and earth’s righteousness, but now it’s become a malevolent being; naturally, it needs to be destroyed!"

Ling Feng was stunned, "Can’t you guide it, allowing it to return to the right path?"

"How would we guide it?" Xia Lan asked.

"I’ve already got her under control, and Tian Lian has agreed to follow us once the Tongtian Sect’s leader is dealt with. Just make sure she doesn’t do anything harmful!" Ling Feng argued.

"Do you really think you can keep her in check?" Xia Lan questioned.

"There shouldn’t be any problem. Tian Lian is simple-minded and easy to control, especially with your help to suppress her!" Ling Feng responded.

Xia Lan nodded, "Alright, we can help you with this favor."

She then looked at Ling Ling, "Since the Cauldron has already emerged, there’s no need for us to go to Mount Jiuhua. Our next target should be the Leader of the Tongtian Sect!"

Ling Feng was overjoyed, "That’s great!"

This outcome was precisely what he hoped for, keeping Tian Lian and finishing the task. As for that Leader of the Tongtian Sect, he believed it wouldn’t be long before they were brought to justice.

After making plans, Ling Feng didn’t linger in the two women’s room for long. He quickly returned to his room and called Han Wancheng.

As soon as the call connected, Han Wancheng remarked, "You’ve really outdone yourself, solving a big case as soon as you stepped out!"

"Just lucky, I guess. Has this been reported already?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

"Yes, it’s a serious matter. How could the Tongtian Sect have developed so long in the northwest without us knowing? Their sub-bureau was incredibly negligent!" Han Wancheng stated.

"That just shows how cunning the other side is." Ling Feng said a word on behalf of the Yinzhou Safety Bureau, then asked, "Boss, what’s the next step? Can I stay to help out?"

"You’re so eager?"

Han Wancheng was surprised, then questioned, "Don’t tell me you have some ulterior motive?"

"Really, now? I’m part of the Safety Bureau too; can’t I act out of a sense of duty?" Ling Feng asked, sounding displeased.

Han Wancheng chuckled, "I might believe it coming from someone else, but for someone like you, who’s always up for a gain, I can only suspect you have other intentions!"

Ling Feng: "..."

"Alright, I know you well. Since you want to be involved, I’ll temporarily appoint you as the director of the Yinzhou Sub-bureau. Lead the team to investigate this matter, and try to eradicate the Tongtian Sect before they harm more people!" Han Wancheng said.

Ling Feng was taken aback, "Huh? Me, as the director?"

"The current director has been dismissed. Of course, it’s you stepping in. What? Not used to it?" Han Wancheng asked.

"No, no, I’m just a bit overwhelmed!"

Ling Feng chuckled, and immediately replied, "Then I’ll get to work and strive to eliminate the Tongtian Sect as soon as possible!"

"Go ahead. I’ll be waiting for your good news!"

Han Wancheng said before hanging up the call.

Afterward, Ling Feng put away his phone, feeling almost like he was floating as he walked!

The sub-bureaus are ranked, and both the Demon Capital and Yinzhou City belong to large cities and are first-level sub-bureaus.

While Longyuan belongs to a second-level sub-bureau, which recently upgraded to first-level.

Which means, now Ling Feng is on the same level as Zhang He.

Moreover, Ling Feng’s military rank is even higher than Zhang He’s!

Thinking about this, Ling Feng secretly considered whether to call Zhang He, eager to see his bewildered expression!

But on second thought, he realized there were more pressing matters, so he decided not to tease him unnecessarily.

After tidying up a bit, Ling Feng headed out, going straight to the Safety Bureau.

By this time, the city lights were coming on, and most of the staff at the Safety Bureau had already gone home, leaving only a few on duty.

But Lin Yu and Lin Chen were still there, having received notification from the main bureau, they were waiting for Ling Feng.

Seeing them, Ling Feng smiled, "Looks like you’ve already been informed. In that case, let’s start investigating the Tongtian Sect right away!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chen and Lin Yu nodded together.

After sitting down, Ling Feng pondered for a moment, "We currently know too little about the Tongtian Sect. I’ll summon someone to answer our questions!"

The siblings nodded and remained silent.

They had thought Ling Feng would bring Wang Zhichang out, but with a flash of light in the room, Tian Lian, wearing a Taoist robe, appeared, catching them off guard.

"This is Tian Lian!"

Ling Feng stated, then said to Tian Lian, "Have a seat. I have some questions for you!"
