Chapter 1558 - 1557: Taking In
Ling Feng was waiting for this moment, and upon hearing the words, he smiled, "Brother Fu, you want to repay me?"
"The favor of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring!"
Fu Hao stopped and said seriously.
Ling Feng praised him inwardly but outwardly just smiled, "I helped you out of a sense of justice, not to seek your repayment, so there’s no need!"
Hearing his words, Chen Hong discreetly pouted.
Lin Yu also slightly curled the corner of his mouth, understanding Ling Feng’s intention.
He says he doesn’t want anything, but in reality, he’s up to something!
Fu Hao heard Ling Feng’s words, shook his head, and said, "Being grateful is justice; I can’t eat your meat for nothing!"
Saying this, he actually put down the meat skewer in his hand.
Ling Feng saw this and showed a helpless expression, "How about this, Brother Fu, you’ve been underground for so long and don’t know much about the outside world. How about I take you around and let you taste all kinds of food?"
He initially thought Fu Hao would eagerly agree, but unexpectedly, Fu Hao shook his head, "I’m not that interested in food. The reason I was attracted by the taste of the meat is that I found it contained a strong spiritual energy, even more than I could gather underground."
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng, having failed with one plan, immediately thought of another and said with a smile, "In that case, how could Brother Fu repay me?"
"I can do anything for you, anything at all!" Fu Hao said.
Ling Feng clicked his tongue and continued, "I don’t need any help from you; it’s just that I feel it’s hard for you to live underground, and I’m willing to host you and find you a home!"
"Oh?"
Fu Hao was taken aback and then asked in amazement, "Are you serious about that?"
"Of course, it’s true!" Ling Feng nodded.
The result was that Fu Hao got excited all of a sudden, kneeling directly on the ground, "If you are willing to host me, I’ll follow you as your attendant!"
This made Ling Feng understand that he wanted to recruit him, and Fu Hao just needed a place to settle down, which suited him perfectly!
It seemed Fu Hao was quite straightforward; he had wanted to go with him all along but was too shy to say it outright.
If Ling Feng had known this, he would have gotten straight to the point earlier!
But now wasn’t too late; hearing his willingness to follow him, Ling Feng was overjoyed and then said after some thought, "How about this, Brother Fu, you don’t need to stay by my side all the time. I’ll arrange a place for you where you can still help me!"
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead!" Fu Hao nodded.
"Then keep eating, and once you’re full, we can start!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Fu Hao didn’t hesitate, immediately picking up the skewers to eat heartily.
"Boss, how do you plan to settle him?" Lin Yu asked softly at this time.
"I intend to send him to Ling Corporation, where there’s a training school specifically for cultivating superpower users. Given Brother Fu’s abilities, he’ll be a major asset!" Ling Feng said.
Lin Yu felt a bit disappointed and then smiled wryly, "I thought you wanted to keep him in the security bureau!"
"No need; that would be overkill!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Alright then."
Lin Yu nodded, realizing that keeping Fu Hao in the security bureau would be a great boost to the Yinzhou Sub-bureau.
But Ling Feng didn’t think so, so she had nothing more to say.
Fu Hao finally got full after eating over ten pounds of meat.
His eyes brightened significantly, and he stood up to ask, "Brother, going to your place like this, won’t I make you lose face?"
"Why would that be?"
Ling Feng shook his head, "Brother Fu, your unkempt appearance doesn’t matter much. However, I can take you somewhere if you want to tidy up!"
"Alright, I’ll go with you!"
Fu Hao nodded, making up his mind.
So everyone left and returned to the village.
At this time, the villagers were dismantling the well framework, preparing to relocate and dig a new well elsewhere. When they saw Ling Feng bringing back a ragged person, they were all stunned.
Someone with sharp eyes recognized Fu Hao immediately, screamed in surprise, and turned to flee!
Ling Feng hurried to stop them, "Don’t run, he’s no danger, trust me!"
With Ling Feng’s assurance, people were less tense but still stood at a distance with frightened expressions, not daring to come closer.
Because they all knew he was a strange man living underground, they weren’t sure what he was up to.
Ling Feng didn’t explain much, instructed Zhang Jinshan a few words, and then let Lin Yu drive them back to Yin Province.
The two girls sat in the front, while Ling Feng and Fu Hao sat in the back. As the car started slowly and drove away, Fu Hao’s eyes widened in shock.
"Brother Fu, time has passed, and the world has undergone tremendous changes. You’ll understand in the future!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"I see, this thing must be powered by some force?" Fu Hao asked.
"You figured it out, impressive!" Ling Feng said, somewhat surprised.
"I used to design mechanisms. What’s this we’re sitting in? How’s it powered?" Fu Hao asked.
"This is a car. As for the power, it’s a bit complex. It uses gasoline, which releases energy through combustion!" Ling Feng explained.
"I see!"
Fu Hao listened, seeming to somewhat grasp the principles of how the car moved.
The car was just the beginning; once they returned to the city and saw skyscrapers, smooth roads, and busy traffic and people on the streets, Fu Hao had even more questions.
Ling Feng patiently explained until everyone returned to the bureau.
They took the elevator upstairs and entered the safety bureau’s glass room, leaving Fu Hao dumbfounded.
Fortunately, he didn’t ask more questions, or Ling Feng wouldn’t know how to explain how glass is made.
Amid the astonished gazes of the safety bureau staff, Ling Feng took Fu Hao into the office, then turned around and said, "Brother Fu, I’m going to take you somewhere, so brace yourself."
"Are we leaving using this?"
Fu Hao pointed to the Teleportation Array on the floor.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "How do you know?"
"I can sense its unique energy vibrations," Fu Hao said.
"Alright, you’re really something. That’s right, our home isn’t here, so I’m taking you back there." Ling Feng nodded and said.
Fu Hao: "Alright, I’ll go with you!"
The two teleported back to the Nine Heavens, and without stopping, Ling Feng immediately headed to the Ling Corporation.
He didn’t go upstairs to find Mo Jiaolan but instead drove straight to the hot spring resort.
Fu Hao was very disheveled, and he knew he didn’t look good or polite. So when Ling Feng suggested taking him for a bath and haircut, he immediately agreed.
