The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 516: Asking for Help

As Ling Feng said this, Feng Ling’s big eyes immediately flashed with a hint of disappointment, followed quickly by her eyes reddening.

Seeing this, Ling Feng and Lin Xue were both startled, "What’s wrong?"

"I make my living by selling tea leaves. Now that everything’s gone, how can I make any money!" Feng Ling said with a sobbing tone.

Ling Feng: "..."

He could never stand to see girls cry, so seeing her like this, he could only smile wryly and say, "Don’t cry, if it’s a big deal, I’ll compensate you. How much is your load of tea leaves worth?"

"Over twenty thousand..."

"What?"

Ling Feng thought he had heard wrong, looking at Feng Ling incredulously, "Those few dozen bags of tea leaves are worth over twenty thousand?"

"Yeah, those are the best tea leaves picked from the mountain, retailing at over a hundred yuan per liang!" Feng Ling replied with an innocent face, nodding her head.

Now, Ling Feng was at a loss for words, feeling like the girl was probably taking advantage of the situation to fleece him, but her little expression didn’t quite seem like it.

With no other choice, he nodded, "If that’s the case, then I’ll give you twenty thousand yuan."

"Yes, over twenty thousand..."

Feng Ling cautiously reminded him.

"..."

Ling Feng was out of options, asking with impatience, "How much over?"

"Eight thousand nine..."

Feng Ling’s voice was very small as though she were afraid of angering Ling Feng.

However, despite this, her words still managed to infuriate him. Ling Feng’s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Xue, pointing at Feng Ling and said, "This girl must be doing this on purpose, she’s taking advantage of a rich man!"

"Come on, you’re not lacking that bit of money. Since you’ve agreed to compensate her, does a few thousand matter?" Lin Xue said with a wry smile.

In her heart, she also had this feeling that although Feng Ling seemed harmless enough, she always gave people a sense of being unfathomable, as if she was very scheming.

This was just an intuition, with no concrete evidence to back it up, so it was just a thought.

Hearing Lin Xue speak this way, Ling Feng could only wryly smile once more and then told Feng Ling, "All right, I promise you. I’ll give you thirty thousand as compensation, that should be okay now, right!"

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Feng Ling’s face suddenly burst with joy, as if she had forgotten she was caught and locked up.

But Ling Feng immediately reminded her, "No need to thank me, but let me warn you, don’t try to escape. If we find out, we won’t be so lenient with you!"

"Okay, I won’t run!" Feng Ling quickly nodded.

Their plan having failed, Ling Feng gave Lin Xue a look, and the two of them left the bedroom and went into the living room outside.

After sitting down on the sofa, Ling Feng furrowed his brows, turning to look at her, "Does this girl have a problem?"

"It feels like it. I always think she’s not as harmless as she appears to be, but I’m a bit hesitant to actually force a confession!" Lin Xue bit her lip.

"So what do we do? Send her back to Longyuan and let Director Chen arrange an interrogation?" Ling Feng asked.

"Isn’t that too much trouble?" Lin Xue was somewhat conflicted, glancing at him.

Ling Feng just said it casually and didn’t really want to do it because indeed it would be very troublesome.

Moreover, it would expose his ability to teleport, leaving a significant security concern.

After some thought, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "I’ve got an idea!"

Lin Xue: "What idea?"

"I just remembered someone who’s also very good at interrogation, why not get him to try!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

Hearing him say that, Lin Xue immediately knew who it was and said with a wry smile, "Demon Capital is not close to here, do you think if you asked him, he could come?"

"Let’s give it a try, what if he values our friendship that much?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and took out his phone.

It was already evening, and after the ringtone sounded for a moment, Zhang He picked up on the other end and asked, "What’s up?"

"Nothing much, just missing you, wondering what you’re up to!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.

"Cut it out, if you’ve got something to say, say it, I’m actually busy right now!" Zhang He said impatiently.

Hearing the noise on his end, Ling Feng asked curiously, "What are you busy with? It sounds lively, are you at a food market?"

"You guessed it, I have guests at home tonight, so I came to buy some groceries. What’s the real issue? If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up!" Zhang He said.

Ling Feng chuckled, "You’re really smart, I do indeed need a favor from you!"

After flattering him a bit, he explained the situation he was in.

After listening, Zhang He was silent for a moment before replying, "You actually started investigating Luo Nanlin’s case?"

"Yeah, what about it? It’s part of my job anyway!" Ling Feng responded.

"Alright, send me your address, I’ll come over and have a look if I get the time!" Zhang He said.

Ling Feng didn’t expect him to agree so readily, so he blurted out the address without a second thought.

After hanging up the phone, he came to his senses, his face filled with confusion, "He made it sound so simple, could this guy really be around here?"

"How is that possible? If he came here, the Security Bureau would have been alerted!" Lin Xue said.

"But he said he’d come over if he had time, as if he’s not far from us, how strange!" Ling Feng scratched his head.

Lin Xue curled her lip, "Then you should have asked just now, let’s wait until he arrives to discuss it!"

They didn’t have to wait long, for by ten o’clock in the evening, Zhang He called to tell Ling Feng that he had already arrived downstairs!

Opening the door with a huge sense of surprise and upon seeing him, Ling Feng immediately asked, "How did you get here so quickly?"

Zhang He looked at him, "Didn’t I tell you that my home is in the provincial city right around here?"

"Uh, you did?"

Ling Feng scratched his head, tried to recall, found no memory of it, and then continued to ask, "So your home is here, no wonder you arrived so quickly. But why didn’t you go back to Demon Capital for work?"

"Big brother, it’s a holiday now, have you forgotten the New Year has just passed?" Zhang He gave him a look.

"Alright then, it really is a coincidence. Who would have thought I’d be so lucky, to find a pillow when I’m dozing off!" Ling Feng chuckled.

"You’re calling me a pillow?"

Zhang He’s voice rose an octave and then he said irritably, "Good deeds never pay off, I was supposed to have a blind date tonight, but I cut it short because of your situation and rushed over here to help you, and you compare me to a pillow!"

Ling Feng was stunned, "Oh, I really owe you an apology for that, delaying a significant event in your life, what should we do about this!"

"Cut the crap, let’s get down to business, where is the person?" Zhang He scanned the room and didn’t spot any strangers.

Ling Feng chuckled and pointed towards the bedroom, "Locked up in there, go have a look. The girl actually looks quite nice, you’re still unmarried, right? Take the chance to consider it!"

"Go away!"

Zhang He rolled his eyes and pushed the bedroom door open.

Ling Feng wanted to follow him inside, but Zhang He swung the door back in a reflex, and it almost hit Ling Feng’s nose!

"Damn, he’s not really angry at me, is he?" Ling Feng scratched his head.
