Chapter 1648 - 1647: Uncertain Outcome
Because he was too at ease, Ling Feng actually fell asleep while waiting!
He didn’t know how much time had passed when a flash of inspiration hit him and he woke up suddenly!
At the same time, the door opened, and Xia Lan and Pete returned.
Seeing the two of them, Ling Feng was startled for a moment, then immediately asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
The two didn’t look very good, seeming somewhat depressed.
Xia Lan shook her head: "It’s not really something happened, it’s just a pity, Smack escaped!"
"What? How could that be!"
Ling Feng was completely stunned, looking astonished.
"That guy was very cunning, he had a small plane prepared underground. I couldn’t catch up with him." Xia Lan said.
"Oh, it doesn’t matter. If he runs, he runs. As long as his plans are disrupted, that’s what we aimed for on this trip!" Ling Feng replied.
"But I don’t know if he succeeded or not." Xia Lan said.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback again and asked in astonishment, "What? Has this guy already gained superhuman abilities?"
"I’m not sure, half of the Power of the Gods has already been extracted, and Smack didn’t confront me directly, so I don’t know what his current power is." Xia Lan replied.
"..."
Ling Feng didn’t speak, falling silent for a moment.
After thinking for a bit, he looked up and said to Xia Lan: "It’s alright. We did what we were supposed to do, let’s leave the rest to destiny."
"Then let me give you the Power of the Gods."
Xia Lan said, taking something out of the Space Bracelet and handing it to Ling Feng.
Looking down at the red horn-like object in his hand, Ling Feng asked, "Is this the Power of the Gods?"
"Yes."
Xia Lan nodded, then asked, "Didn’t you sense the divine power within it?"
"I can’t feel it; it just seems like a craft to me!" Ling Feng shook his head.
"Divine power is different from Spiritual Power, it seems you haven’t reached that level yet."
Xia Lan said, then asked: "Shall I leave now?"
"Don’t rush, your disguise hasn’t been removed yet, let me help you with that." Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Okay."
After they sat down, Ling Feng helped remove the disguise from Xia Lan’s face, then did some cleaning and helped Xia Lan wash up.
During this process, his hands touched Xia Lan’s face several times, but both remained calm as if there was nothing unusual.
After everything was sorted, Xia Lan got up and left through the Teleportation Array, leaving Ling Feng and Pete in the room.
"Boss, this Miss Xia is really amazing, almost like a superwoman!" Pete said.
"I know, her strength is unquestionable. But what about that bunch of Superpower Users Smack recruited?" Ling Feng asked.
"Dead or injured, not many in good shape, utterly defeated!" Pete said.
Ling Feng nodded: "That’s good!"
He then looked at Pete: "How about you stay back and deal with the matters of this house? I’ll head back first and we’ll meet at Lingyun Island later!"
"Alright."
Pete said, then asked: "By the way, those Falcon personnel..."
He hadn’t forgotten about it, fearing those people might expose his information.
Ling Feng glanced at him and said calmly: "Don’t worry about that, I’ll handle it. For your safety, they’re of no value at all!"
"Understood."
Pete caught onto Ling Feng’s meaning and immediately felt relieved.
...
...
After a trip to Europe, there was no definitive conclusion on whether it was a win or a loss, and Ling Feng still felt a bit regretful, unsure if Smack had been stopped.
But there was no choice, the situation had reached this point and it had to end.
After returning home, he directly went to Nine Heavens to check on his precious daughter.
After half a day, Ling Feng went to Longyuan.
Zhang He already knew he was back, and upon meeting him, he smiled and said: "So, I heard the mission went very smoothly?"
"Not quite, we might’ve been late."
Ling Feng laughed bitterly and recounted the events.
After listening, Zhang He looked at him: "No need to overthink, the results will soon be clear. That Smack may have escaped, but he won’t stay hidden for long, then everything will be settled!"
"Hmm, we’ll see what happens in a few days!"
Ling Feng nodded, then changed the subject: "Your wife should be delivering soon, right?"
"You still remember that?"
Zhang He looked at him, smiled, and said: "The due date is in ten more days. I’ve planned that she won’t give birth at your place like Li Shiyun, and Qianqian’s parents definitely won’t agree to that, so in a few days, I’ll take her back!"
"I have no right to stop you, whatever help you need, just ask!" Ling Feng said.
"No need, we’ll fly back, there are people meeting us, and we’ll go straight to the hospital for the delivery, everything is arranged!"
Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, if I’m home, I’ll definitely be there. If not, I’ll make up for it with a big gift afterward!"
"The sentiment is enough!"
Zhang He chuckled, then said: "After I leave, Lin Xue will take over here, so please help her as much as you can, it’s more than anything!"
"Do you even need to say that?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "Don’t worry, even if you take a year off for parental leave, Longyuan will still run smoothly!"
"Come on, after a year, you’d have turned this place into your home!"
Zhang He chuckled, then said: "I absolutely won’t let you take over Longyuan!"
"What are you saying!"
Ling Feng was speechless, just about to retort, when suddenly the phone rang.
Seeing it was a call from Gu Li, he knew it was business, so he hastily answered and asked: "What’s up?"
"Smack has shown up and is about to hold a press conference!" Gu Li said.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng stood up at once: "What’s the situation?"
"The content of the conference is unclear yet. Boss, you should come to Lingyun Island, we’ll see what he has to say!" Gu Li said.
"Okay, I’m on my way!"
Ling Feng nodded and hung up the call, standing up to tell Zhang He: "I can’t chat anymore, I need to take care of business!"
"Go ahead, I also want to hear that conference and see what tricks Smack has up his sleeve!" Zhang He said.
Leaving Longyuan, Ling Feng quickly arrived at Lingyun Island and entered Gu Li’s office.
The huge screen on the wall was already on, displaying a news broadcast from a foreign TV station, with the backdrop being a press conference venue.
Hearing the host saying something in a foreign language, Ling Feng looked at Gu Li and Ah Min: "Uh, can anyone translate this for me?"
"No rush, Smack hasn’t appeared yet. Right now the anchor is also speculating on his purpose."
Gu Li said, then continued: "Once that kid Smack shows up, I’ll directly translate everything he says for you, boss!"
