Chapter 1599 - 1598: Interrogation
Hearing the commotion behind him, Ling Feng turned around.
Seeing a group of people arriving, he quickly stood up with a smile, "Have you all finished your tasks?"
"Yes, we’ve got our documents, and the places are assigned."
Ling Yao nodded, stepped forward, and handed him a list, "Everyone is going to different sub-bureaus to take up their posts, but don’t worry, we’ll be back frequently."
"Wow, they’re spread all over the country!"
Ling Feng took a closer look at the list and couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.
Then his eyes welled up as he looked at everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work."
No one spoke, but they felt a bit reluctant to part.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi began, "Come on, don’t make it so somber. Even if we aren’t here, Ling Feng can live comfortably, no need to worry!"
"Exactly, Uncle can’t sit still. If he’s not busy, he’ll definitely be running around everywhere!" added Yang Guang.
Xun Qianqian laughed heartily, "Just worried that he’ll be overwhelmed when the time comes!"
With this joke, the atmosphere lightened considerably.
Ling Feng then chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, you don’t have to come here just to comfort me. My mental resilience is quite strong."
Little Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Who said we’re here to comfort you? We’re clearly here to get the Teleportation Array!"
Ling Feng: "...."
Only then did he understand why everyone was there, and he felt immediately embarrassed!
Ling Feng quickly added, "Oh yes, from now on, the intermediary Teleportation Array will be placed here. Only one will be left in the Nine Heavens, just a reminder!"
"Got it!"
Everyone nodded, picking up a Teleportation Array each, then left chatting and laughing.
"Uncle, Yang Guang and I are going over to her village, it’s a good chance to visit. If you have time, come visit too!"
Only Li Fei’er and Yang Guang were left, and she said this to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, this matter has been delayed for some time, it’s about time to take care of it."
Li Fei’er curled her finger, "Then it’s a deal!"
"Sure!"
Ling Feng hooked his finger with hers, then watched them leave.
...
...
Returning to the Nine Heavens, without needing to check elsewhere, he knew everyone had gone to take up their posts, so Ling Feng went directly to the First Layer.
Outside the wooden house, Li Shiyun sat smiling on the grass. Seeing Ling Feng, she asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly have time to visit us?"
"Everyone’s gone, this place suddenly feels empty. Won’t you feel uneasy?" Ling Feng sat down and asked.
"How could I?"
Li Shiyun smiled and continued, "Everyone will be back often. Don’t forget that Layers Seven, Eight, and Nine aren’t fully developed yet!"
"If resources are sufficient, there might be no need to develop further for now."
Ling Feng sighed, holding her hand, "Right now, we should first settle the underground creatures’ issue, otherwise there will be chaos!"
"I know!"
Li Shiyun looked at him, gently comforting, "No need to worry too much, with everyone’s abilities and your strength, there’s nothing we can’t solve."
"Yeah, it just takes some time."
Ling Feng nodded.
After saying that, he looked around and curiously asked, "Where’s Sister Lian and Bai Qian?"
"They went to the Second Layer to pick fruits. Do you want to go see them?" Li Shiyun asked.
"No need."
Ling Feng smiled, holding her hand, "I have some things to take care of; I’ll come to keep you company tonight."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
Li Shiyun’s face flushed with a hint of color, and she nodded immediately.
Ling Feng got up to leave and then went to the Yinzhou Sub-bureau.
It was three o’clock in the afternoon when he reached the office, finding several documents on his desk. He sat down to take a look.
These were situation reports about the recent large-scale monster attacks and their developments.
Besides urging increased precautions, they sternly reminded all sub-bureaus that the severity of this event should not be underestimated and must be handled seriously, ensuring no civilians are harmed by the monsters!
Just as Ling Feng finished reading the documents, the door opened, and Lin Yu came in.
"Boss, you’re here? When did you come back?"
Seeing Ling Feng, Lin Yu asked excitedly.
"I just arrived as well."
Ling Feng smiled, then asked, "Is there anything major happening in the bureau?"
"Nothing too big," Lin Yu said.
From her tone, Ling Feng detected a hint of something amiss and quickly asked, "So there is some minor issue? What is it?"
Lin Yu smiled, "Our surveillance in the Underground City found a few suspicious individuals. Chen Hong and Lin Chen went and have apprehended them!"
"Oh, what are those people up to?" Ling Feng asked.
"They claimed they’re outdoor enthusiasts going on an adventure in the mountains. However, upon checking their backgrounds, it was clear they came from the Capital City with specific intentions!" Lin Yu said.
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng nodded then asked, "Where are they now? Are they close to returning?"
Lin Yu checked the time, "They should be here soon, at most half an hour back to the bureau."
"Alright, I’ll wait to see what these guys are up to!" Ling Feng nodded.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Chen and Chen Hong returned.
The apprehended individuals were taken to the interrogation room, and with everyone around him, Ling Feng entered.
Upon entering, seeing one of the individuals, Ling Feng was taken aback!
It was Jin Chen!
With their eyes meeting, Ling Feng sneered, "So it’s Mr. Jin!"
"Director Ling, we meet again," Jin Chen said with an awkward smile.
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, didn’t expect to see you again so soon."
He then pulled over a chair, sat down, and looked at Jin Chen’s face, "So, Mr. Jin suddenly found it interesting to visit Yin Province?"
"Yes, I had mentioned I wanted to visit you, Ling," Jin Chen said.
Ling Feng chuckled, "You said you’d visit my home, not here!"
"It’s the same; wherever you are, Ling, I’ll naturally come!" Jin Chen said.
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng smiled, looking at his entourage, then asked, "Where’s Batu? Isn’t he with you, or has he been caught?"
Jin Chen paused, looked at Ling Feng, "What do you mean by that, I don’t understand!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng sneered, "You may not understand, but I do know he’s the guy who installed explosives on the truck, right?"
Jin Chen: "....."
"I’ve not kept tabs on your matters since leaving the Capital City. To find out what happened, I’d need to ask the main bureau. By the way, you’re not on the run to escape punishment, are you?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Jin Chen’s face changed, turning pale instantly!
