Chapter 1545 - 1544: Conclusion
As Matsumoto’s car had just turned around, Sato Saori arrived.
Without hesitation, she directly landed on the car’s hood.
With a loud boom, the hood instantly collapsed, and the engine was rendered useless!
Ling Feng watched this scene with his Divine Sense and shook his head.
This girl is too reckless, making such a commotion, won’t the villagers be startled awake?
With the intention of not making too much noise, Ling Feng got up to quickly resolve the battle, but by then Sato Saori had already pierced the car’s windshield with her Sword, pinning Matsumoto to the seat!
Seeing this, Ling Feng sat back down.
After executing Matsumoto, Sato Saori took out a Five Elements Fruit and tossed it into the car.
A burst of flames erupted, and the car was instantly engulfed by tongues of fire.
Afterwards, illuminated by the firelight, Sato Saori nonchalantly walked back.
Ling Feng smiled wryly at the sight, "Putting on a cool front now, who can see you from outside?"
By the time she returned, the car had already exploded, and only then did the villagers of Taohua Village rush out from their homes.
But by then, it was impossible to contain the fire, so the awakened villagers could only watch helplessly as the car burned to its frame.
"Let’s go, there’s still a puppet to deal with, and once that’s done, we’ll send you home!"
Ling Feng stood up and said.
Sato Saori chuckled, "No need, I’ll go take care of that puppet, and I’ll teleport back myself afterwards. You and Fei can stay here!"
"Ah, is that necessary?"
Chen Fei blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"You won’t be able to leave anyway; with the car burned and Cheng Shu dead, won’t the police investigate?" Sato Saori laughed.
"You’re right."
Realizing the logic, Chen Fei reluctantly nodded, "Then I’ll stay!"
The three of them then stepped out as the street outside had descended into chaos, with villagers discussing the burning car. In a flash, Sato Saori entered Cheng Shu’s house.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng and Chen Fei went over to the car.
By now, the fire had gradually diminished, and most combustible materials had been burned, leaving Matsumoto’s body charred.
Faced with the crowd of villagers, Ling Feng recognized a few familiar faces, those who had previously sold him mushrooms, and said loudly, "Everyone go back to sleep. The police will handle this!"
Chen Fei gave him a tug, "The township police station should have someone on duty; there’s no need for you to say that!"
"Oh, I forgot."
Ling Feng chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Soon enough, two policemen arrived with flashlights, seemingly just having gotten the news.
Upon seeing the scene, the two policemen were taken aback, unsure quite how to proceed.
Chen Fei stepped forward, showed her identification, and said, "I’m Chen Fei, just cooperate with my work!"
"It’s Director Chen, you’re still in the township, haven’t gone back?" One policeman, who apparently knew Chen Fei, quickly responded.
"Yes, I got held up by something."
Chen Fei nodded and caught sight of Sato Saori coming out of Cheng Shu’s house and giving her an OK gesture. She immediately said to the two policemen, "The person in the car is named Matsumoto, suspected of killing the shop owner. Go and check it out!"
"What?"
Hearing this, not only the two policemen but many villagers nearby were stunned!
Cheng Shu is dead?
After a moment of shock, many people’s faces showed joy!
However, in front of everyone, no one showed it too obviously.
Ling Feng noticed this and sighed inwardly. Seeing Cheng Shu’s downfall, was indeed pitiful.
With the police investigating the case, Sato Saori teleported away from her dorm, and Ling Feng returned to the shop.
This building was two-storeyed, with the first floor serving as the shop, and the second floor being the living quarters. Ling Feng went directly upstairs upon his return.
The furnishings were a bit basic, and there wasn’t much bedding, but Ling Feng didn’t care about these things, lying straight down on the bed.
Having set his target, not just tonight, even the coming days he wouldn’t think of running around, still needed to look into the factory issues tomorrow.
But Ling Feng didn’t sleep; he kept his Divine Sense monitoring the situation outside, waiting for Chen Fei to return.
And so, time ticked by, until the early hours when the car fire was extinguished, and Matsumoto and Cheng Shu’s corpses were taken away, and Chen Fei returned.
Upon hearing her come upstairs, Ling Feng promptly sat up, "All settled?"
Chen Fei nodded, "Yes, Saori eliminated the puppet, and Cheng Shu’s body was taken back."
"How will the aftermath be handled?"
Ling Feng pulled her onto his lap and continued asking.
"Although Matsumoto was a foreigner, his death from a car fire isn’t considered a criminal case; rather, his killing of Cheng Shu is documented by video evidence. The Inagawa Company can’t argue much, the case is basically closed!" Chen Fei explained.
Hearing this, Ling Feng smiled, "That’s good, saves you trouble!"
"It’s no problem."
Chen Fei smiled and then asked, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
"I was waiting to sleep with you together!"
Ling Feng laughed, pulling her onto the bed.
Feeling her face flush, Chen Fei couldn’t help but retort, "Didn’t we just last night..."
"You can’t expect to eat one meal and never be hungry in your lifetime!"
Ling Feng chuckled, his big hands already moving restlessly!
...
...
The next morning, as sunlight poured into the room, the couple awoke upon hearing the landlady’s voice from downstairs.
After tidying up, they went downstairs, where Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Aunt, you’re here early?"
"I was worried you hadn’t eaten breakfast, so I came over to make it."
The landlady, named Zhou Guihua, was now very grateful to Ling Feng and treated him like family, wishing to take good care of him.
Ling Feng understood this sentiment and smiled, "It’s fine, we can make it ourselves, no need for you to trouble yourself!"
"It’s nothing, whether it’s a trouble or not, and you’re a big figure, how can you make breakfast yourself!"
Zhou Guihua smiled, stepping into the kitchen.
As Chen Fei came downstairs, she said, "I have to return to the bureau for a meeting and will be back by noon. Bring the construction team by then as well."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you!"
This had been discussed before, so Ling Feng agreed readily, nodding.
After seeing off Chen Fei, Ling Feng enjoyed breakfast prepared by Zhou Guihua and then asked her to mind the shop as he left.
Matsumoto’s burned-out car had been towed away, and the street was being cleaned of the ashes. Ling Feng glanced over before heading to the abandoned school in Taohua Village.
He hadn’t seen the site firsthand, so he had to assess it, to understand how to commence construction and how to make the best use of this space.
