Chapter 1561 - 1560: Top Secret
After listening to Zhang He’s words, Ling Feng was still somewhat confused.
He hurriedly asked, "Why change places?"
"Tectonic movements. There will be a magnitude five earthquake soon; the place where they’re living will no longer exist. They must relocate!" Zhang He explained.
"Uh, so we’ve become a refugee haven?" Ling Feng asked.
"Sort of. This matter is highly confidential and must not be leaked!" Zhang He said.
Ling Feng was puzzled, "Why do this? For humanitarian reasons?"
"Not entirely. There are benefits, but they’re not immediately visible."
Zhang He smiled and continued, "And it does relate to humanitarian concerns. We can’t just watch hundreds of thousands of lives get buried underground, can we?"
"I understand."
Ling Feng nodded, then looked at Zhang He, "You’ve got your eye on my Underground City!"
"Correct!"
Zhang He didn’t beat around the bush and nodded directly, "It’s the best choice right now."
Ling Feng felt helpless. He hadn’t figured out how to develop and utilize the Underground City, but now it seemed useful.
Yet he suddenly felt a bit worried. After all, there was an unknown entity atop the Spirit Gathering Tower, and the infant there hasn’t been born yet. Bringing so many underground people there wouldn’t cause any issues, right?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, "I can agree, but there’s a treasure in that place, and I don’t want it to be disturbed!"
"Don’t worry about that. The security bureau will send specialists to manage it; no one will disrupt or damage it!" Zhang He assured him.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng, relieved, nodded, "If I don’t agree now, you’d probably have to bring out Director Han, so might as well go with the flow!"
"Smart!"
Zhang He chuckled and gave him a thumbs up.
Ling Feng ignored him and turned to look at Lin Xue and Zhou Yi, "You two didn’t come just to persuade me, did you?"
"No, we knew you would definitely agree!"
Lin Xue shot him a glance, then said, "We’re now Deputy Directors of Longyuan. We have to attend meetings of this level!"
"Oh, got promoted?"
Ling Feng was immediately all smiles upon hearing this.
Unfortunately, both had something on their minds and didn’t respond.
Seeing this, Ling Feng awkwardly chuckled, "Anyway, where’s Fei’er now? Can I go see her?"
"She’s very busy right now. It will take some time to process those people. If you want to see her, wait until you go to the Underground City!" Zhou Yi said.
"That’s fine!"
Ling Feng nodded, "There’s a Teleportation Array anyway, so anyone can go to the Underground City anytime."
"Yes."
Zhang He nodded and added, "That place is under your Yinzhou Sub-bureau’s jurisdiction, so you’ll receive orders from above directly. Make sure you arrange for people to keep a close watch there!"
"Do you mean the outside perimeter needs personnel on guard?" Ling Feng asked.
"That’s right. I’ve heard that the Leader of the Tongtian Sect also is searching for it, right? Even though you found it first, you need to guard against his coveting eyes!" Zhang He said.
"That makes sense, but I clearly don’t have enough manpower!" Ling Feng said.
Zhang He looked at him, "A detailed plan will be given to you, and you’ll know what to do then."
"Alright."
Ling Feng nodded and stood up, "I better head back now."
Nobody responded, especially Lin Xue and Zhou Yi, who seemed like they didn’t hear.
Feeling something was off, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on? Why is everything so heavy?"
"Nothing major; it’s Longyuan’s matter. You’re the Director of Yin Province; just focus on your work!" Zhang He replied.
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless and couldn’t help but complain, "Seriously? Just kicking me out like I’m an outsider?"
"You said it yourself."
Zhang He rolled his eyes and promptly followed with, "Want to get involved with Longyuan’s matters? Alright, then listen to my instructions; stay and we’ll continue our discussion!"
"No, I’m afraid I’m not busy enough as it is!"
Ling Feng quickly waved his hand and turned to leave!
After he left, Zhang He exchanged glances with Zhou Yi and Lin Xue, and all three struggled to suppress laughter.
Leaving Longyuan behind, Ling Feng rushed back to Shiliu Village, then immediately teleported back to the Yinzhou Sub-bureau.
Upon reaching the office, there was already a document on the desk.
Sitting down and taking a look, it was indeed sent from the headquarters.
Ling Feng opened it and glanced through, instantly understanding the arrangements within.
The so-called enhancing surveillance around the Underground City doesn’t actually require anyone to watch over, just some monitoring equipment placed around will suffice.
The wilderness doesn’t have much human presence, and if the equipment is hidden well, it won’t be easily discovered.
After reading the document, Ling Feng left the office and found Lin Chen, "Do we have surveillance equipment here?"
"We do, but boss, you don’t have to go. I’ll go with Sun Rui to install it later!" Lin Chen replied.
"No, it’s better if I go!"
Ling Feng shook his head and continued, "The Leader of the Tongtian Sect is still an unknown factor; if you run into him, it would be dangerous."
Lin Chen wanted to say something but was stopped by Ling Feng’s raised hand, "Don’t say it. Just load the equipment onto the vehicle and leave the rest. Listen to me!"
"Alright."
Lin Chen felt helpless; he’s the Director. Any more insistence would seem like disobeying a superior, so he had to nod in agreement.
It was already four in the afternoon, and within two hours, the mountains would be pitch dark, but Ling Feng decided to act swiftly and get the equipment installed.
Once that’s done, he can free up time for other things.
With the equipment loaded onto the vehicle, Ling Feng grabbed the keys and prepared to set off when Chen Hong came along, "I’m coming with you!"
"No need; I can handle it myself." Ling Feng said.
"I know you can handle it, but I want to go. Is that not okay?" Chen Hong asked, annoyed.
"Uh, not comfortable staying at home? Why tag along everywhere with me?" Ling Feng asked, helplessly.
Chen Hong pouted, "It’s precisely because it’s uncomfortable that I want to go out!"
"Alright then."
Ling Feng felt helpless. He could refuse Lin Chen, but this girl was tricky; with her temper, a fallout would be his embarrassment.
So he could only nod and agree, and the two went downstairs together.
Driving off, with Chen Hong in the passenger seat, she asked, "Have you got that person settled?"
"Yes, sent to my training school." Ling Feng nodded.
Chen Hong glanced at him, "Any plans for later?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and turned to look at her, "Haven’t thought it through yet. For now, just settle him down and follow the natural course. Why suddenly ask?"
Chen Hong: "Nothing, just asking casually!"
Ling Feng sensed she was being evasive and curiously asked, "What’s really going on?"
