The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1680 - 1679: Investigation Bureau

Catherine looked at the other person’s ID, then turned to Ling Feng and said, "That’s right, it’s real!"

Ling Feng, with no other choice, looked at the lean dark-skinned man: "What’s going on, seems like you know me?"

"Yes!"

The lean man nodded: "Hello, Mr. Ling, I’m Rick. Before your plane even landed, I already knew your information."

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng nodded, his mind racing, then asked, "It seems the investigation bureau values me a lot, monitoring me since my plane landed?"

His words had a purpose, probing the other’s intentions.

Because Ling Feng really wanted to know if they were aware of his picnic encounter with the Roth family, the car accident that followed, his meeting with the fat man, and the subsequent infiltration of the drug lab.

If they knew, then this would be tricky to handle!

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Rick immediately shook his head and explained: "Mr. Ling, you misunderstood, we aren’t following you. It’s just that when Bob had an accident, I was also on the scene, and after seeing Miss Vivian get in your car, only then did we follow. Had you not gotten out, I wouldn’t even know you were in the car!"

"I see."

Seeing the other’s sincere attitude, not seeming like a lie, Ling Feng nodded, then asked: "Alright, Mr. Rick, why were you following us? Your presence at the scene wasn’t coincidental, was it?"

"No, we were investigating a case, Bob was one of the suspects, but unexpectedly he was killed!" Rick said.

"What case, may I ask?" Ling Feng asked.

"Of course, it’s not classified!"

Rick smiled and explained the incident of the drug lab catching fire.

Even though the fire was hard to extinguish and by the time it calmed down, the site was almost completely burned, through some wreckage, the police deduced what the place was used for and immediately contacted the investigation bureau.

Rick came to investigate the cause of the fire, and since Bob had been there, he naturally became a subject of investigation.

Ling Feng realized after hearing this, then smiled: "So that’s it, just like Mr. Rick, I was also curious about this matter and wanted to find out, which led us meeting!"

"Let’s not rush the explanation, Mr. Ling, if convenient, shall we find a place to sit and talk slowly?" Rick asked casually.

"What? You want to take me in for questioning?" Ling Feng asked.

"No, Mr. Ling, you misunderstood. You’re a diplomat, I don’t have the authority to detain or interrogate you, just want to exchange information to facilitate the investigation!" Rick said.

Seeing Catherine giving him an affirmative expression, Ling Feng knew Rick wasn’t lying, so he thought for a moment and said: "Alright, if I’d known earlier, we wouldn’t have driven around with you, let’s head back to the hotel to talk!"

"Okay, we’ll go back with you!" Rick nodded.

Ling Feng and Catherine got back in the car, then turned around and headed back to the city. On the way, he said helplessly: "In the end, it’s overthinking, should have known not to waste time!"

"Not really a waste, we’ve run out of clues, talking to them might reveal new information!"

Catherine said, turning to look at Ling Feng: "I bet you’re already eager to find the coordinates of the City of Gold?"

"Who says?"

Ling Feng shook his head, smiled wryly: "Finding the City of Gold and getting the gold inside isn’t necessarily a good thing. A large influx of gold could change the world economy’s structure, I don’t understand much but I know if there’s too much, it’ll surely depreciate!"

"Not that extreme."

Catherine glanced at him, quickly calculating in her mind: "A ton of gold should be around seventy million US Dollars, even if the City of Gold has ten thousand tons, it’s only seven hundred billion, the combined value of several large companies, it won’t disrupt the global economy!"

Ling Feng agreed, nodding: "You have a point, but despite the super fortune, I’m still not interested. Getting it surely won’t be easy!"

Though he said that, Ling Feng already had an idea, feeling that even if he didn’t get involved, the Roth family wouldn’t be able to get the City of Gold either!

If his guess was correct, the location of the City of Gold should be the pyramid he visited with Yu Linglong before, which was later verified by Li Fei’er as Aztec ruins!

And that place, like Atlantis and several other spots, now has a translucent energy shield over it, making entry impossible!

Therefore, even if the Roth family finds the City of Gold’s location, unable to penetrate the energy shield, wouldn’t it be a wasted effort?

As for Ling Feng, he could directly teleport inside via the mysterious disk in Yu Linglong’s possession, practically a treasure reserved just for him!

Of course, these were speculations, without confirmed evidence, so Ling Feng kept it to himself.

The car quickly returned to the city, then stopped at a hotel where the group went up together.

In the room, Lina took Vivian to the bedroom, Long Xiaoyu and Mu Yuhan also chose to step away, leaving only Ling Feng, Rick, and Catherine in the living room.

The three sat down, Ling Feng straightforwardly asked: "Mr. Rick, I know you must have doubts about my motives, but please believe, all my actions are just to solve the puzzle!"

"Oh, I’m willing to believe Mr. Ling!"

Rick spoke somewhat tactfully, then smiled and asked: "About what Miss Vivian knows, can you share some of it?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Ling Feng nodded, turning to Catherine: "Why don’t you tell him?"

"Sure!"

Catherine didn’t hesitate, nodded, then shared what she learned from Vivian about Bob.

Rick was silent for a while after listening, then looked up at Ling Feng: "This matches our intel, the Roth family indeed found the City of Gold’s location."

Ling Feng smiled at this: "Unfortunately, now the informed are all dead, and the key question remains unanswered!"

"No rush, there’s someone else who might know, my colleagues are looking for him!" Rick said.
