Chapter 481: I’m Not Interested in Women
Ling Feng, feeling helpless, shook his head and said, "I don’t have it on me, I’ll give it to you when we get back to the village!"
"Then let’s go, go back and get it!" Joanna turned around to leave.
"What’s the rush? Let’s leave in a bit!" Ling Feng said helplessly.
Joanna turned around, "You have other things to do?"
"I’m waiting for someone, Zhang He is inside!" Ling Feng said.
"How did he get here?" Joanna asked, completely taken aback.
"It’s a long story..."
Ling Feng smiled and explained everything from beginning to end.
After listening, Joanna simply said, "Oh," then added, "Then I’ll go in and take a look. Tell him to hurry up, I’m in a rush to leave!"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, "Leave? Where to?"
"Back to our sub-bureau, my vacation is over, I need to report back!" Joanna said.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng had gotten used to having her around, and at her mention of leaving, he suddenly felt reluctant.
Seeing his expression, Joanna’s eyes twinkled as she laughed lightly, "You really can’t bear to see me go?"
"A little bit," Ling Feng chuckled.
"When you’re able to teleport to the Nine Heavens, you’re still afraid you won’t see me?" Joanna joked.
"That’s true."
While they were talking, Zhang He came out of the house. Upon seeing Joanna, he was stunned, "What are you doing here?"
"You can come, and I can’t?" Joanna retorted.
Zhang He suddenly realized and drawled, "Oh... "
"Oh what? Ling Feng said you discovered some Heretical Cult clues? How did it go?" Joanna asked impatiently, giving him a disdainful glance.
Zhang He looked at her and then at Ling Feng, "This matter, it’s somewhat related to Luo Nanlin!"
"What’s the situation?"
Ling Feng’s interest was piqued, and he immediately asked.
"According to the clues provided by Lei Hong, Luo Nanlin is the highest person in charge of that Heretical Cult’s Huaxia branch, and the old guy has been practicing evil arts for over three years. He’s about to break through a bottleneck!"
Ling Feng: "..."
After a moment of shock, he couldn’t help but curse, "This old bastard, he’s been hiding deep!"
"Now he’s suddenly disappeared, and Luo Beihai is nowhere to be seen. The complexity of this matter is beyond imagination. Ling Feng, you might be busy for a while!" Zhang He said.
Ling Feng nodded, "I understand."
His relationships with the Luo family were complicated, and it was more than appropriate for him to handle this matter!
Sure enough, Zhang He smiled and said, "Then go inside, Director Chen is waiting for you!"
Back in the office, Chen Ping looked up at Ling Feng, "You know everything?"
"Yes, Director, don’t worry, I will definitely bring Luo Nanlin to justice!"
"I don’t care about your personal grudges, but when you find him, don’t kill him outright; bring him back to me!" Chen Ping said indifferently.
Ling Feng scratched his head, "I’ll try my best."
"Not try, you must. I can be lenient with you on other matters, but not this one!" Chen Ping glared.
"Why is that?"
Ling Feng asked, puzzled.
"It’s of great importance. Once we find Luo Nanlin, we need to extract a lot of information from him!" said Chen Ping.
Ling Feng, with no choice, could only nod, "Alright, I got it!"
"Good, and you don’t need to rush it. I’ll arrange for the sub-bureau’s investigative force to assist you, and we’ll notify you immediately once we have any leads on him!"
"Thank you, Director."
Turning to leave, Ling Feng said to Zhang He and Joanna, "Let’s go, let’s go home!"
"I thought we wouldn’t be able to leave!" Zhang He said with a laugh.
Ling Feng looked at him, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill what I promised you!"
"What did you promise him?" Joanna immediately asked.
"Nothing!"
Ling Feng and Zhang He said in unison.
"Psh, like it’s anything special," Joanna rolled her eyes.
The three of them soon returned to Shiliu Village. Zhang He, visiting for the first time, got out of the car and looked around, nodding slightly, "The environment’s quite nice here!"
"Is it? If you like it, you could stay here long-term!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Sure, I’ll build a house here someday and come stay for a few days when I have the time!" Zhang He said nonchalantly.
Ling Feng: "..."
"Stop dawdling, hand over the stuff, I need to hurry back!" Joanna urged.
Going back to his room and taking out a jade pendant, Ling Feng handed it to her, "You’re leaving just like that?"
"Mhm, we’ll talk after I get back! You guys go ahead," she said, then got into the car and left.
As Ling Feng watched the car drive away, Zhang He suddenly grinned and asked, "What’s up, have you two developed to the point where you can’t bear to be apart?"
"Are you jealous?"
Ling Feng turned back and gave him a look.
Zhang He chuckled, "I’m not that interested in women!"
"Oh, please don’t tell me you’re interested in me instead?"
Ling Feng looked alarmed.
"Get lost!"
Zhang He gave him a look.
As the two bantered, Li Shiyun walked out of the house.
"And who is this?"
"Zhang He, from the Demon Capital subdivision, came to take care of some business with me," Ling Feng introduced briefly, then turned to Zhang He, "This is Li Shiyun..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang He’s eyes light up and his hand reaching out to shake Li Shiyun’s, so he quickly stepped in front of her, "What are you doing? Didn’t you just say...?"
"What did I just say?"
Zhang He looked at him, turned to Li Shiyun, and nodded, "Hello, beautiful Village Chief, I’m Zhang He, twenty-six, single!"
Ling Feng was so annoyed, he pushed him aside, "Back off, who asked you!"
Then, wrapping an arm around Li Shiyun’s shoulder, he warned, "Don’t get any funny ideas, she’s mine!"
Zhang He was speechless. Although he had guessed it, seeing the two so close still made him feel a little dejected and he muttered helplessly, "All the good stuff’s always taken by the pigs!"
Ling Feng was speechless, "You know, Director Zhang, saying that in front of me, is that really okay?"
"You guys chat, I’m going to see Sister Lan, they’ve been waiting for you to come back!"
Seeing the state of the two men, Li Shiyun could tell they were troublemakers for each other, so she didn’t mind and said with a smile.
"They’re all here?"
Hearing her words, Ling Feng quickly asked.
"Yep, they just arrived not long ago, all there, over there!"
Since Zhang He was present, Li Shiyun spoke of Nine Heavens in a somewhat veiled manner.
Ling Feng nodded, "Got it, I’ll go find them later, I have something very important to discuss!"
Li Shiyun turned and went back to her room. Zhang He’s gaze lingered on her back for a few more seconds before turning to see Ling Feng staring at him, his face was innocent, "Can’t even look?"
"No, you can’t! So you aren’t disinterested in women, you just have a specific type you like?" Ling Feng asked.
"None of your damn business!" Zhang He glared back at him.
Then, he continued, "If you’re busy, go ahead. I’ll take a look around the village and get a feel for the local customs and practices!"
"That would be for the best, feel free to wander around, and I’ll treat you to a feast tonight!" Ling Feng knew he was giving him time to deal with matters, so he said with a smile.
Zhang He turned and walked into the village, while Ling Feng turned back into his room, then immediately teleported into the Nine Heavens.
