Chapter 1682 - 1681: Negotiation
Ling Feng was taken aback, then shook his head: "Don’t go back, something just happened. Going home will remind you of things and make you feel worse. Just use my name to open another room at the hotel!"
"This is good too!"
Lina pondered for a moment and nodded.
After hearing the translation, Vivian also gratefully said thank you to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng understood simple words, so he smiled slightly and said, you’re welcome.
After sending the two women out, Long Xiaoyu and Mu Yuhan also came out.
Then Long Xiaoyu looked at Ling Feng and asked, "You’re not going to bother with the competition tomorrow?"
"No need, with Chu Xing and Brother Fu, plus Yuhan and Lina, it’s more than enough!" Ling Feng said.
Long Xiaoyu turned and looked at Mu Yuhan: "Didn’t I say, this guy is just obsessed with money!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng paused and looked at her: "What do you mean?"
"I guessed it in the room. As soon as you heard about a City of Gold, your thoughts weren’t anywhere else. Yuhan didn’t believe it!" Long Xiaoyu pouted and said.
Ling Feng was speechless, glared at her, and thought to himself that if there weren’t others around, he’d really spank her a few times!
Of course, he was just thinking about it. Teasing between lovers was fine, but to really spank Long Xiaoyu, he didn’t quite dare to.
Since it wasn’t early anymore, Ling Feng didn’t disturb Catherine, but asked Mu Yuhan to help order some food, treating it as dinner.
When the food was delivered to the living room, sitting down to eat, Catherine said to Ling Feng: "I figured it out, the biggest benefit you can extract from the investigation bureau is a list!"
"What list?"
Ling Feng’s heart moved when he heard this, and he quickly asked.
"A list of traitors who came from Huaxia to America and have been criticizing their own country!"
Catherine said and then continued: "These people are actually not liked on either side. Americans also don’t like people who betray their own country, only they have some use, so they are given some benefits and raised!"
"This is indeed a good choice, but some people have already been exposed. What’s the point of having the list?" Ling Feng asked.
"Not just the list, you can ask for their industrial information, property under their name, and information about their supporters behind the scenes. The investigation bureau will definitely give you this!" Catherine said.
Mu Yuhan, listening on the side, asked somewhat puzzled: "Aren’t these kinds of materials supposed to be handled by the intelligence bureau?"
"No, the intelligence bureau deals with international affairs. Within America, it’s the investigation bureau collecting information." Catherine said.
Ling Feng oh-ed and then nodded: "That’s not bad either. With the list of these people, the country can really take care of these ungrateful traitors!"
"Hmm, then you just wait for Rick’s call. If not tonight, he will certainly contact you tomorrow morning!" Catherine said.
"Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s eat!" Ling Feng nodded.
...
...
One night passed, and the next morning, Ling Feng received a call from Rick.
Seeing the number, Ling Feng didn’t pick up.
He got up, put on his clothes, and directly went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he came back, there were already three missed calls on the phone.
Ling Feng chuckled and didn’t call back, thinking it’s better to keep the other party in suspense!
Just as he put away the phone, there was a knock on the door.
After scanning with Divine Sense, Ling Feng was surprised for a moment before going to open the door.
Standing outside were Rick and a tall, stern-looking man in a suit who looked to be in his forties.
Ling Feng smiled, then asked: "I didn’t hear the phone while in the bathroom, why did Mr. Rick come personally?"
"We were going to find Mr. Ling anyway, we just wanted to call ahead to inform you!" Rick said.
"Oh, I see, please come in!"
Ling Feng smiled, welcoming them inside.
After the little contest of not answering the phone earlier, he already had the upper hand!
In such matters, the more eager one is, the weaker their position. Huaxia’s five thousand years of ancient wisdom, America is still far behind!
After inviting the two inside and sitting down, Rick immediately introduced: "Mr. Ling, this is our deputy director of the branch, Mr. Richard."
Ling Feng nodded in greeting, then asked: "Mr. Rick, this must be the person with the highest authority?"
"Yes, at the moment in this state, only Mr. Richard has the highest authority, so if Mr. Ling has any demands, feel free to make them!" Rick nodded.
Ling Feng smiled and then said: "Great, then I won’t be polite!"
He looked at Rick: "I thought about it last night, I’m not interested in money, so just give me a list!"
"What list?"
Rick was caught off guard. He originally thought Ling Feng would ask for some high-tech equipment blueprints or technology, but it turned out to be this!
The originally prepared refusals were useless!
With a smile, Ling Feng stated his need, which made Rick’s eyes widen, saying somewhat stutteringly: "This, this might be very, very difficult!"
"No rush, translate that for your director, isn’t he the one with the authority to agree or refuse?"
Ling Feng smiled, crossing his legs, and spoke leisurely.
Rick thought it made sense, so he quickly translated Ling Feng’s request into English.
After listening, Richard frowned and said something in a deep voice.
"Mr. Ling, Director Richard says your demands are excessive. America is a free country that protects everyone’s legal rights. We cannot leak others’ privacy!" Rick said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng sneered: "If you want to protect them, why collect this information?"
Pausing, he continued: "Also, put away that so-called facade of freedom, maybe you can fool some ignorant people, but not me!"
Rick was evidently embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then translated it over.
Upon hearing this, Richard’s face immediately showed displeasure, as if he felt insulted!
Before he could speak, Ling Feng waved his hand and said to Rick: "Tell him, this is my only demand, I won’t compromise. If you can’t agree, then find another scapegoat, see who else dares to step up and go to the City of Gold, maybe Smack can agree?"
"...."
These words left Rick speechless.
Ling Feng had made it clear, I know you want to use me as a scapegoat, but I am still willing to agree, as long as my conditions are met!
The matter was laid out on the table.
With the stance clarified, Rick could only translate everything Ling Feng said to Richard.
After listening, Richard remained silent.
