Chapter 1600 - 1599: Back to the Old Days
Ling Feng saw Jin Chen’s expression and knew he was right.
So he sneered, "Now this is a bit tricky. Although you’ve treated me to a few meals, and we can be considered as having some friendship, I’m an official after all, so I have to conduct business officially!"
"Mr. Ling, Mr. Ling, let’s make a deal. How about you let me go, and I’ll give you a sum of money?" Jin Chen asked with a wry smile.
Before Ling Feng could respond, Chen Hong couldn’t help but laugh, "What are you thinking, do you think Ling Feng is someone who lacks money?"
"Exactly, our boss is wealthy enough to rival a nation now!" Lin Chen added.
"Alright, you guys continue the interrogation, I need to confirm something with the headquarters!"
Ling Feng said, then turned and left the interrogation room, going straight back to his office.
Instead of calling Han Wancheng, he used the internal line to contact headquarters, asking about matters related to the Jin Family in Capital City.
As expected, while he was handling the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce in Dongying, several factions, including the Jin family, were under investigation.
Jin Chen received the news in advance and fled in fear of punishment.
As Ling Feng hadn’t inquired about this matter after returning, he was unaware of it until now.
Now that he knew what happened, he hung up the phone and called Han Wancheng.
Once connected, Han Wancheng immediately asked, "Are you going to set conditions for using your charming confidantes on me?"
"Boss, what are you thinking? Do you really see me as such a petty person?"
Ling Feng laughed bitterly, then continued, "I’m talking to you about serious business!"
"Alright, go ahead," Han Wancheng said.
Ling Feng smiled, "I caught Jin Chen, he’s at the Yinzhou Sub-bureau!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Han Wancheng perked up and then sighed, "That kid sure has a persistent criminal mind!"
"What do you mean, boss?" Ling Feng asked.
"We’ve already found out that among those we handled, especially the Jin family, they were closely associated with the Xinglong Gang people; they were the most active!"
"With Hu Tiesheng missing, the Jin family is also in disarray. That kid must have gone to investigate!"
Upon hearing Han Wancheng’s words, Ling Feng suddenly understood and then laughed, "Unfortunately, this guy was detected by our instruments and was immediately caught. Boss, what should we do?"
"Send him back to Capital City, we’re waiting for his case!" Han Wancheng said.
"Alright, but boss, don’t forget that the credit for this belongs to our Yinzhou Sub-bureau!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Han Wancheng rolled his eyes on the other end, "Won’t forget, I’ll give your subordinates rewards later!"
Ling Feng was just about to ask why he wasn’t getting anything when the call was already disconnected!
He shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, then headed to the interrogation room and said to Lin Chen, "These people need to be sent back to Capital City, any of you up for it?"
"Boss, I’ll go, let Sun Rui come with me!" Lin Chen immediately said.
Ling Feng looked at him and jokingly asked, "Why? Planning to take advantage of work..."
"No, nothing like that. I just think that we’ve been working well together lately!"
Lin Chen’s face turned as red as a monkey’s bottom, hastily explaining.
Ling Feng chuckled, "No need to hide it, you go inform Sun Rui then, just say I arranged it, and take these people to Capital City as soon as possible!"
"Okay!"
Lin Chen nodded and quickly went to call Sun Rui.
Ling Feng didn’t pay any attention to Jin Chen, whose face was ashen, and turned to leave the interrogation room.
...
...
After dark, Ling Feng left the sub-bureau and returned to Nine Heavens.
Arriving at the First Layer of Heaven, he saw many dried fruits and nuts placed on the table in front of the wooden hut, and looked at Li Shiyun in surprise, "What’s going on?"
"Surprise for you!"
Li Shiyun said with a smile.
Seeing her stand up from the grass, Ling Feng quickly went to support her, "Take it slow."
"No need to be so tense, my constitution is nothing to worry about!"
Li Shiyun chuckled and then sat down beside the table.
Then seeing Ling Feng staring at her intently, she smiled and asked, "What? Have I gained weight?"
"No, you haven’t gained weight, the biggest change is on your face, there’s a new motherly glow!" Ling Feng said earnestly.
"Really? I hadn’t noticed." Li Shiyun smiled.
Ling Feng nodded, "I think back to when I first met you, you weren’t so nice to me, now it’s like a dream!"
Li Shiyun chuckled, "No need to reminisce just yet, wait a bit!"
Ling Feng was puzzled, "Why?"
"Haven’t you noticed that Sister Lian and the kids aren’t here?" Li Shiyun blinked and changed the subject.
"Right, I was just about to ask, where are Sasha and the others?" Ling Feng asked.
"They all went to the Second Layer, tonight it’s just you and me, and Jiaolan and Yuhe!" Li Shiyun said.
Hearing this, Ling Feng understood immediately and laughed, "This must be Yuhe’s idea, right?"
"Yes."
Li Shiyun nodded, "She heard you would come tonight, so she said it would be a good time, with everyone else gone, to re-experience the times we four were together, and Jiaolan agreed without hesitation."
"Great, that’s wonderful indeed!"
Ling Feng was delighted; those days were definitely quite memorable.
It’s just that later on, things became more and more hectic, meeting more and more people, busy all day long, and it had been a long time since everyone sat together to chat and laugh.
Seeing Li Shiyun touch her belly with one hand, Ling Feng laughed, "Too bad, you can’t drink now."
"Watching you guys drink is fine too!" Li Shiyun said with a smile.
As they talked, Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe arrived together.
Although not dressed as before, Ling Feng instantly found the old vibe and immediately went up, hugging them both with one arm each.
"Alright, stop it!"
Chen Yuhe rolled her eyes at him, then sat down and began taking things out of her bracelet.
Small dishes, snacks, and finally a wooden box of red wine!
Seeing this, Ling Feng’s eyes widened, "Wow, why did you bring so much?"
"Your drinking capacity was poor before, but now I’m sure you can drink a lot. One bottle won’t be enough," Chen Yuhe said.
Ling Feng was speechless and looked at Mo Jiaolan, "You also want to drink till you’re drunk?"
"Why not?" Mo Jiaolan replied softly with a smile.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded, then looked at the two of them, "Just a reminder, alcohol makes me feel bad if I drink too much!"
Chen Yuhe rolled her eyes, "No kidding, who doesn’t?"
"Alright, enough guys, you two still can’t stop bickering every time we meet!"
Mo Jiaolan laughed with her eyes creased, instantly bringing back the old feeling.
Food opened, wine poured into the decanter, then the four of them ate and chatted, reminiscing about when they first met.
