Chapter 380 Tragedy in the Mortal World
Ling Feng smiled without speaking, knowing that his words were not yet finished, so he chose to remain silent.
As expected, Luo Beihai continued, "Since we’re all family here, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Can we get back the mining rights for the Mo Stone Mine?"
"Old Master, let’s not talk about that for now, the higher-ups haven’t mentioned anything about changing personnel. But rest assured, I will certainly get that one cubic meter of ore for you!" Ling Feng said.
"Alright."
Luo Beihai brought up the mining rights as a lighter issue, still aiming for the ore.
Ling Feng saw through his intentions and gave him the answer he wanted, which set the old man’s mind at ease.
"I’ve just taken over, and it’s a bit rushed, but rest assured, after I get it, I’ll bring it to you!" Ling Feng said.
Luo Beihai nodded, "Good, I appreciate your effort. I will keep your loyalty to the Luo Family in my heart."
...
...
By noon, Zhang Lan had packed her things and got into the car under Ling Feng’s watchful gaze, leaving with Luo Beihai.
Watching the car drive off until he could no longer see it, Ling Feng turned back reluctantly.
Behind him at the doorway, Li Shiyun stood with a smile on her face: "Missing her already?"
"A bit."
Ling Feng nodded, came over to her, and cupped her small face: "I hate goodbyes the most."
"Who doesn’t?"
Li Shiyun said, then buried her head into his chest.
The two embraced for a moment, then she suddenly lifted her head: "Alright, tell me about what happened in the provincial city?"
"Sure, this mission was pretty exciting!" Ling Feng laughed.
They had only sat down and spoken a few words when his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Mo Jiaolan calling, Ling Feng answered and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Ling Feng, come quickly, something’s happened!"
Mo Jiaolan spoke anxiously, with a hint of crying in her voice, which immediately got Ling Feng on his feet!
"Don’t panic. What happened?"
"My aunt, they’ve had an accident!"
Ling Feng’s heart sank; Mo Jiaolan’s aunt was none other than Chen Yuhe’s mother!
So he ran outside while listening to the phone, with Li Shiyun hurriedly following him.
Once both of them were in the car, the situation became more or less clear.
Chen Gang and his wife had left home and were in a car accident.
From what Mo Jiaolan knew, the car was deformed and both were trapped inside, still undergoing rescue.
Relieved that Chen Yuhe wasn’t in the car, Ling Feng’s mind was slightly settled, but he knew the situation was serious and sped off as fast as he could.
After hanging up, seeing Ling Feng’s solemn face, Li Shiyun couldn’t help but comfort him: "Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be too bad."
"I hope so. Thankfully Yuhe wasn’t in the car. But if something happens to Chen Gang and his wife, she definitely won’t be able to take it," Ling Feng said.
Li Shiyun bit her lip, knowing that such a thing, happening to anyone, would be unbearable, and all they could hope for was that the people were okay.
The military off-road vehicle sped along the road and quickly arrived at the scene of the accident. From a distance, they saw many people gathered around with police and fire department vehicles present, causing both their hearts to tighten.
The sound of the horn and the roar of the engine rang out, and the crowd watching stepped aside to let the heavy off-road vehicle through at high speed. They wanted to curse but upon seeing the military license plate, they all shut their mouths.
Ling Feng got out of the car and approached the scene, where he saw Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe. Both were in tears and looked helplessly distraught, causing his heart to ache as if it were stabbed.
Seeing Ling Feng, they both threw themselves into his arms and began to cry out loud!
Without asking, it was clear that something had happened to Chen Gang and his wife!
Ling Feng comforted the two women while looking over at the two vehicles involved in the accident.
One was a cement mixer truck, and the other was the sedan that had been carrying Chen Gang and his wife, which was now so flattened it resembled a metal pancake.
Several firefighters were cutting away at the wreckage, and by the looks of it, there was almost no chance the people inside the vehicle had survived.
Ling Feng’s heart was also in turmoil, as he watched the brutal scene, not knowing what to say.
After all, this was his first encounter with such an incident, and he couldn’t even think of any comforting words.
"Ling Feng, what do we do, can you save my parents?" Chen Yuhe was so agitated that her whole body trembled, crying so hard her breathing became erratic.
"I, I’ll try my best."
If the people were not dead, Ling Feng might have a way, but if they had already died, he was not a deity.
Just when he was feeling troubled, the car was pried open a crack, and the inside could be seen.
Ling Feng immediately handed Chen Yuhe and Mo Jiaolan over to Li Shiyun and quickly rushed forward.
The traffic police maintaining order stretched out a hand to stop him: "Unrelated personnel should not come near!"
"I’m not unrelated!"
Ling Feng flashed his credentials and headed straight to the side of the car.
When he caught a glimpse of the situation inside the vehicle, he instantly closed his eyes in pain.
Chen Gang and his wife had met with disaster!
He stood there for a moment, stunned, then turned and saw the three people looking at him, and shook his head helplessly.
Upon seeing this gesture, Chen Yuhe’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted straight away!
Ling Feng panicked, immediately running back to pick her up, as energy from within his body surged into hers through her wrist, stabilizing the qi and blood inside Chen Yuhe.
"Let her sleep for a while, to lessen the pain," Li Shiyun said, also crying, her eyes red.
"Alright, Jiaolan, don’t cry, take her to my car," Ling Feng said with a bitter voice and red eyes.
Watching Li Shiyun and Mo Jiaolan carry Chen Yuhe away, Ling Feng turned back to look at the car, his eyebrows slowly furrowing.
Just then, a cry suddenly emanated from the car!
Everyone was stunned, and Ling Feng was also taken aback for a moment, then as if understanding something, he immediately hurried over!
Chen Yuhe had a younger brother!
He remembered the first time he went to Mo Jiaolan’s hotel, when a birthday celebration was about to be held there, for Chen Gang’s son’s first birthday.
Although he hadn’t seen the child since then, Ling Feng still remembered the event.
That cry just now was distinctly the sound of a child!
The firefighters were working hard at cutting through the wreckage when Ling Feng approached and said, "Excuse me, please."
"What are you doing, don’t interfere with our rescue!" the firefighter exclaimed in urgency.
Ling Feng knew they meant well, not wanting him to impede the rescue efforts, so he could only smile wryly and gently pushed the firefighter aside.
A surge of great strength came forth, and the firefighter simply couldn’t resist, stumbling back several steps.
Just as he was about to step forward and question what just happened, he saw Ling Feng bend down and, with bare hands, pull apart the deformed sheet metal!
The hard metal body of the car seemed as soft as dough in his hands.
The onlookers stared in amazement. What kind of strength was this?
With his considerable strength, Ling Feng quickly pulled the car apart and saw the crying child in the back seat. He reached in and lifted him out.
The whole process took only a few seconds, much faster than the firefighters!
"He’s out, there’s someone alive!"
"My God, it’s a miracle!"
"A stroke of great luck amidst misfortune!"
The spectating crowd discussed among themselves.
