Chapter 1683 - 1682: Arrangements Made in Secret
Chapter 1683 - 1682: Arrangements Made in Secret
Ling Feng wasn’t in a hurry, quietly watching Richard.
He knew the other party would definitely agree, but it would take some time to convince himself internally and weigh the pros and cons.
After waiting a few minutes, Richard took a deep breath, and Ling Feng knew he had made a decision.
As expected, after Rick heard his words, a look of surprise flashed across his face, then he said to Ling Feng, "The director agreed!"
Ling Feng kept his expression neutral, calmly saying, "Very well, since that’s the case, let’s arrange the list immediately. As for the remaining work arrangements, I can fully follow your lead!"
Rick nodded and turned to translate for Richard.
Richard looked at Ling Feng with a mix of helplessness and a hint of annoyance, but still nodded and said a few words.
Then he got up and left without even a goodbye!
Ling Feng remained unbothered, staying on the sofa without moving, watching him leave.
After seeing Richard off, Rick returned to the sofa with a bitter smile: "I must say, Mr. Ling’s methods are truly unparalleled!"
"How so?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"The conditions you proposed are precisely the highest authority the director could offer, anything more he couldn’t agree to!"
Rick chuckled, then asked, "If I’m not mistaken, this must be an idea Miss Catherine came up with for Mr. Ling, right?"
"You don’t need to worry about that. Right now, I care most about the person who was sorting the information you mentioned yesterday, have you found him?" Ling Feng asked.
"We’ve found him and obtained important intelligence from him. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have rushed over to see you first thing in the morning!" Rick said.
Ling Feng’s eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What did that person say?"
"He told us that the Roth Family actually discovered the location of the City of Gold a month ago, but they found it was in a closed space, completely inaccessible!" Rick said.
At these words, Ling Feng’s heart jumped!
What does this mean? It’s very clear that the City of Gold found by the Roth Family is the same place he had previously visited with the pyramid!
He quickly asked, "And then? Since they can’t get in, the Roth Family must be doing everything they can to find a way to break through, right?"
Rick glanced at Ling Feng: "Yes, that information officer’s work was to find a way to break through the entrance, and he also found the key to that place, and hid it in the factory that caught fire that day."
"So, the thing was destroyed in the fire?" Ling Feng asked.
Rick shook his head: "No, the item was placed in a vault, and when the Roth Family people went there, they found the vault empty, not knowing who cleared it out!"
Ling Feng was secretly overjoyed, thinking to himself, "You have no idea, do you? The person who cleared out the vault is me!"
But at the same time, he was puzzled, wondering if the vault was full of wads of cash, he didn’t see any key-like item, could it be the item was hidden within the money?
This question couldn’t be asked, as asking would arouse Rick’s suspicion, so Ling Feng changed the subject: "Since the item is lost, what does the investigation bureau plan to do? Without the key, I can’t help you enter the City of Gold!"
"No worries, we have another way. Now that we know the location of the City of Gold, as long as nothing unexpected happens, we can depart today!" Rick said.
Ling Feng was a bit taken aback, thinking they could actually crack the energy shield?
With this in mind, Ling Feng’s eyes darted and he nodded: "Alright then, since the military won’t allow me to participate in the tournament, there’s no problem with when we depart, as long as we ensure I return before the tournament ends!"
"Rest assured, if we move quickly, Mr. Ling can be back within two days!" Rick said.
Ling Feng smiled, stood up, and said: "In that case, let me pack up first!"
With that he didn’t bother with Rick, heading straight to the bedroom.
Once he closed the door, Ling Feng immediately took out a satellite phone and called Lin Xue.
Zhang He, due to accompanying Bai Qian during her confinement, had left all work in Longyuan to her.
Upon connecting, Lin Xue’s groggy voice came through: "What’s up?"
Due to the time difference, it was still midnight on her side, she was resting.
Ling Feng chuckled: "Wake up, don’t sleep. I have something very important to tell you!"
"Hmm?"
Lin Xue immediately perked up, sitting up from her bed: "What is it?"
"Go to Nine Heavens immediately, find Yu Linglong, and see who else is there that has a Space Bracelet, bring them along to the place we visited before with the pyramid!"
Ling Feng’s tone was urgent as he briefly recounted what had happened in America.
His thoughts were simple, if the City of Gold was indeed in that place, before the investigation bureau got there, he had to move all the gold!
Though he agreed to help, Ling Feng didn’t want the gold to end up in American hands.
Good things are best kept in one’s own hands!
After hearing this, Lin Xue was surprised but nodded: "Alright, I’ll head to Nine Heavens. Just so happens Li Yun’er is here too, bringing her might be helpful!"
"That would be perfect, I’ll soon be going to the outskirts of the place with the Americans, it would be inconvenient to communicate by phone. If there’s anything, send me a message!" Ling Feng said.
Lin Xue acknowledged and hung up.
Ling Feng pretended to pack up in the room, changing into clothes suitable for traversing the jungle, then returned to the living room.
Rick was also on the phone, and seeing Ling Feng return, he hung up and said: "Mr. Ling, the car to pick you up has been arranged and is on its way. Do you want to say goodbye to your friends before we leave?"
"Sure!"
Ling Feng nodded and went next door to speak with Chu Xing.
Everyone was ready, prepared to head to the arena for the competition, and upon learning Ling Feng couldn’t participate, a hint of disappointment appeared on their faces.
"Don’t be like that, I have more important things to do. You all compete seriously, just don’t overdo it. When I get back, I’ll bring you all a huge surprise!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Boss, take care of yourself out there, no need to worry about us. Maybe when you come back, we’ll have a surprise for you too!" Chu Xing said with a smile.
After making arrangements, Ling Feng left the hotel with Rick, and after going downstairs, got into a business car.
On the way, Rick asked: "Mr. Ling, are you planning to go alone with us this time?"
Ling Feng laughed: "Of course, my condition was for just one person. If we need more people, we’ll need to negotiate more benefits!"
