The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 544: Mission Failed

"Am I seeing things, or is it an illusion?"

The security guard stood frozen in place, rubbing his eyes in confusion.

By this time, Ling Feng had already entered the emergency staircase and was quickly making his way up to the tenth floor.

He didn’t take the elevator because he felt it was a waste of time and that climbing the stairs himself would be faster!

When he reached the tenth floor, he saw the door to the fire escape slightly ajar, and Ling Feng reached out to push it open.

But right at that moment, he heard a faint noise from above, which caught his attention!

Since there were hardly any people left in the building, the only ones who could be there were Kong Sheng’s men or Mo Lan!

So after a brief hesitation, Ling Feng immediately stepped up the stairs.

And by a stroke of luck, just as he reached the landing between the eleventh and twelfth floor, he saw two people entangled in a struggle, their bodies twisted together!

One of them had a slender figure, and just by looking at the body shape, you could tell it was Mo Lan.

At that moment, she was being tightly gripped by another person, who had their arms tight around her neck, making her unable to utter a sound!

After just a glance, Ling Feng shouted and charged forward.

The person choking Mo Lan released her and leapt up to run upstairs!

Of course, Ling Feng couldn’t let him escape. After taking a quick step forward, his toe aimed straight for the man’s lower leg!

If he managed to hit, the other’s leg would surely break!

Unexpectedly, the man’s head seemed to have grown eyes because he lifted his leg and dodged the kick.

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, seeing Mo Lan on the ground. He quickly made his decision, no longer pursuing the man, but instead bent down to help her up, "Are you alright?"

"I, I’m fine, hurry, chase him, he’s Kong Sheng!"

Mo Lan, gasping for breath, pointed at the staircase and managed to say intermittently.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng’s eyes widened, "Damn, when did this guy come back?"

Seeing that Mo Lan was indeed okay, he immediately followed in pursuit.

Unfortunately, he was a few seconds too late. By the time he acted, Kong Sheng had already disappeared, and the entire emergency staircase was quiet, with no indication of which floor he could be on.

Stomping his foot in frustration, Ling Feng had no choice but to return to where Mo Lan was, giving a wry smile as he said, "He got away, how are you?"

By this time, Mo Lan had recovered, still panting, she said, "I’m fine, thankfully you were quick. Don’t delay any longer, hurry up and rescue Chu Bo, it might be too late!"

After speaking, Mo Lan got up and headed downstairs.

Seeing that her steps were steady, Ling Feng knew she was indeed fine, so he followed her down to the tenth floor.

They went through the fire door, with Mo Lan heading straight for the room where Chu Bo was held. She reached the door and kicked it open with one swift move.

It was a large room, empty and barren, clearly visible from the doorway.

However, to their surprise, there was no one inside!

Just as they were puzzled, the television that was hanging on the wall with a blue screen suddenly displayed an image, and then Kong Sheng’s face appeared on the screen!

"Ling Feng, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. There’s no way you could catch me!"

There was a hint of mockery in Kong Sheng’s tone as he said with a sneer.

Ling Feng was still startled, but upon seeing the camera hanging in the corner, he quickly realized what was going on and retorted with a sneer, "Getting better at running away, huh?"

"Heh, it’s not that I’m afraid of you, just that matters are urgent and I don’t have time to waste with you, we shall meet again!"

After saying this, Kong Sheng’s image disappeared from the screen.

Even though it lasted for only about fifteen seconds, Ling Feng had seen his surroundings; the guy was on the rooftop terrace.

It was a mystery how he planned to escape, appearing so confident.

Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said to Mo Lan, "You contact Old Wang, I’m going upstairs to take a look!"

"Okay."

By this time, Mo Lan was also in a state of shock. They had already learned Chu Bo’s location, yet surprisingly, their attempt to rescue him ended up fruitless.

So she nodded absently, and by the time she came to her senses, Ling Feng had already disappeared without a trace.

Mo Lan hurriedly took out her phone to call Wang Laogen, and as soon as they connected, she said immediately, "Seal off this building right away!"

"No need, it’s too late now,"

Wang Laogen, watching two blinking red lights in the sky, said flatly.

They were the navigation lights from a helicopter. Clearly, Kong Sheng planned to escape using this.

As expected, by the time Ling Feng reached the rooftop, all he felt was a blast of wind, and then caught a glimpse of the helicopter’s tail, which by then, was already dozens of meters away from the rooftop.

Kong Sheng, sitting by the edge, seemed to know Ling Feng would come up and even waved at him, smirking confidently.

Ling Feng was so infuriated that he wished he could sprout wings and fly up to drag that helicopter down!

Of course, that was impossible, so he could only watch helplessly as the aircraft flew away.

At that moment, his heart was full of rage, but with no way to vent his anger, he felt extremely frustrated!

Then his phone rang. It was Wang Laogen calling.

His voice was very calm on the phone, "Come downstairs."

"Just like that?" Ling Feng asked.

"Of course not, but what use is it for you to stay upstairs?" asked Wang Laogen.

Ling Feng, "At least we should search the place, right? What if Chu Bo wasn’t taken away?"

"Someone else will do that, you’re not needed. Head back downstairs to the car," Wang Laogen said.

"Alright then."

With a heavy heart, Ling Feng walked downstairs and did not see Mo Lan’s figure; she probably had already gone down.

Arriving at the ground floor lobby, the security guard who had seen him earlier glanced at Ling Feng and immediately widened his eyes: "I’m not seeing things!"

After speaking, he rose immediately and approached, "Stop right there, what are you doing!"

"Move!"

Ling Feng, already in a foul mood, yelled irritably, startling the security guard, who took a step back while Ling Feng had already walked out the door.

Back at Wang Laogen’s car, he saw both father and daughter inside, Ling Feng immediately asked, "What now?"

"I’ve already sent people to investigate who dispatched the helicopter; we should have some leads soon," Wang Laogen said.

Ling Feng looked at him, then at Mo Lan’s cold face, "What happened to you? How did Kong Sheng get control over you?"

"I didn’t expect him to be upstairs. If it weren’t for your timely arrival, I’d have been strangled to death by now," Mo Lan said indifferently.

Although her words carried a sense of gratitude, her tone was very flat, as though the matter was unrelated to her.

Ling Feng didn’t dwell on her tone but sighed and said, "Now it seems, we’ve been outsmarted by Mr. Kong?"

Wang Laogen shook his head, "No."

"No?"

Ling Feng was stunned, his eyes wide as he looked at him.

Wang Laogen smiled, "It could have been successful, but something must have slipped just now, making him alert and causing him to flee immediately!"

"If they really wanted to transfer, they would have left long ago. Why wait until we arrived to leave?"

Ling Feng thought about it and realized it made sense, so he helplessly shook his head, "This is problematic now. If something really happens to Chu Bo, how are we going to explain it to Old Master Chu?"
