Chapter 1658 - 1657: On Fire
Then, Zhong Wen turned around and went back to his seat.
Sitting down, he still found it hard to dispel the stuffiness in his heart, so he loosened his tie and let out a long sigh.
In the company, countless female subordinates fawned over him all day long. He was used to being surrounded by beauties, yet he didn’t expect that today, when he took the initiative to chat up a pretty girl, he would be so severely rejected!
His pride was hurt, and the sense of failure in his heart was also damaging. He almost couldn’t control his emotions!
But he also knew that this was on a plane, and an American airline’s plane at that. If he made a scene, he couldn’t afford to mess with them.
If it had been a Huaxia airline’s plane, he wouldn’t have held back like this; he would have made a big fuss to regain his pride!
Ling Feng couldn’t care less about Zhong Wen’s current emotional state. Holding Long Xiaoyu’s shoulder, he said casually, "See? Many people are like this. They use the pretense of returning to serve the country someday, but after graduation, they only think about finding a company to stay in. You can tell from their nature that these ingrates aren’t good people."
Long Xiaoyu rolled her eyes: "Alright, why are you telling me this? I’m not interested!"
"Hehe, just instilling some patriotism in you!"
Ling Feng smiled, holding her shoulder as he spoke.
During the rest of the flight, Zhong Wen didn’t come to chat again, not even leaving his seat, just sitting there the entire time.
Once the long journey ended and the plane landed at the American airport, Ling Feng and his group got up and left the plane, with Zhong Wen remaining still.
Ling Feng couldn’t be bothered with him and led everyone off the plane to the customs area.
Even though they had landed, they still had to go through customs inspections. Only after passing customs were they officially on American soil.
Although Ling Feng had been here before, the last time was a secret infiltration. This time, he was entering openly, using his identity legitimately.
Despite the special status of himself and his group, Smack and the Americans, aiming to attract superpower users from around the world, had simplified and relaxed the customs procedures. Thus, the group easily passed through the checkpoint.
A group of twenty people was quite sizable, so when they exited the airport, they were particularly noticeable. The person responsible for receiving them immediately spotted them.
A young woman in a skirt suit walked over and looked at Ling Feng, asking, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Ling Feng?"
"That’s me!"
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "And you are?"
"I’m the one responsible for welcoming you. My name is Lina," the woman said.
Seeing her Asian features, Ling Feng smiled, "You’re from Huaxia, right?"
But Lina shook her head, "No, I’m Korean!"
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng lost interest and put away his smile, "Alright then, where is our vehicle?"
"Please follow me."
Lina, being the reception personnel, maintained a professional smile and made a gesture to invite them along.
The group followed her, and upon reaching the parking lot, they saw a bus already waiting for them.
After everyone boarded the bus, Lina said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, I’ll lead the way in the car in front. The journey to the camp will take about an hour and a half, so please be patient."
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded. Although he felt something was off, he didn’t question it much.
After getting on the bus, as Lina went off to a red sedan in front, he couldn’t help but gripe, "This reception staff doesn’t ride the same vehicle as us, and went off to a comfy little car on her own!"
"Different habits, different reception styles, I suppose," Mu Yuhan remarked beside him.
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, not thinking much more of it.
However, after the bus started moving for a while, he sensed something unusual.
Looking back at everyone, Ling Feng asked somewhat speechlessly, "Hey, are you guys comfortable in this vehicle?"
"Boss, don’t even mention it. This bus only looks good on the outside. It’s actually so rickety, almost like it doesn’t even have shock absorbers. How can it be comfortable?" Chu Xing replied with a face full of helplessness.
Long Xiaoyu puffed up her cheeks and said, "What a crappy bus! It’s nothing but constant jolts, swaying side to side!"
"Uh..."
Listening to everyone’s gripes, Ling Feng was also at a loss for words.
He too felt that something was wrong with the vehicle, so he pondered to himself whether Smack knew he was bringing people, and if this guy was deliberately trying to make it difficult for him?
If so, this guy’s mindset is way too petty!
Face-to-face confrontation is fine, but what’s the deal with this underhanded stuff?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Ling Feng became. He scanned the internal structure of the vehicle with his Divine Sense.
As it turned out, the bus was practically a heap of scrap metal, leaking oil everywhere, with black smoke coming out of the exhaust!
Ling Feng realized immediately that it was deliberate!
He quickly told Mu Yuhan, "Tell the driver to stop the vehicle!"
"Alright!"
Mu Yuhan nodded, got up, and spoke to the black driver.
But the driver shook his head, directly refusing!
"Damn it, you won’t stop, huh?"
Seeing this, Ling Feng squinted his eyes and sneered, "You think I can’t handle you?"
With a thought, a spark burst from the severely worn-out internal wiring of the bus!
Soon afterward, smoke started pouring from the location of the engine.
Now, the driver couldn’t dare not to stop.
With a screeching halt, Ling Feng was the first to kick out a window and leap out.
Soon, everyone followed suit, and Long Xiaoyu jumped out with Mu Yuhan in her arms.
The bus was initially just smoking, but soon flames emerged, and in a mere two minutes, the entire bus was engulfed in fiery flames!
Looking at the dumbfounded driver, Ling Feng chuckled coldly and thought to himself, "Do you give in now?"
Of course, the driver couldn’t have known Ling Feng had tampered with anything; he thought it was the bus’s fault.
The flames devoured the bus, and Lina turned back.
Her car had stayed not far ahead, and after a while of not seeing the bus catching up, she turned back as soon as she saw smoke rising.
Getting out of the car and seeing the bus burned down to just a frame, Lina was also a bit dazed. She looked at Ling Feng cluelessly, "Mr. Ling, what do we do now??"
"You’re the reception staff, and you’re asking me what to do?" Ling Feng looked at her and asked.
"I..."
Lina was bewildered, thinking quickly as she took out her phone to arrange for another vehicle.
But Ling Feng waved his hand, "No need. With such a big group of us standing by the roadside waiting, it’s embarrassing. Just give me the coordinates of the destination!"
