Chapter 545 Chu Nan’s Decision
Chapter 545 Chu Nan’s Decision
Wang Laogen glanced at Ling Feng, "Don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. If anything bad happens, the person responsible will be me!"
"I’m not concerned about whose responsibility it is, I mainly don’t want to let Kong Sheng escape!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"Rest assured, he can’t escape!"
Wang Laogen narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing through them.
At this point, there was no point in staying downstairs, so everyone took a car and returned to Mo Lan Manor.
While still on the road, Wang Laogen received a phone call; the source of the helicopter had been traced.
It was a company in the building they had visited earlier, hired under the guise of transporting goods. Further investigation showed that the company was just a newly registered shell company.
After returning to the manor, more news came in; the helicopter had landed with several people in the southern suburbs, afterwards the group split into two cars and left, their destination unknown.
Noticing Ling Feng’s gloomy expression, Wang Laogen smiled, "Don’t be so upset. This kind of thing has happened before, it’s quite normal!"
Ling Feng: "..."
"You, you still can’t control your temper. Think about it, since they ran away without harming Chu Bo, this indicates he is still useful to them, so he definitely won’t be in any life-threatening danger for the time being!" Wang Laogen spoke smilingly.
Hearing this, Ling Feng let out a sigh, "You’re right, but I still don’t understand, why kidnap someone and not state any demands? What exactly is going on?"
"Maybe they’re waiting for the Chu Family to fall into disarray?" Wang Laogen said lightly.
Ling Feng was stunned, then an idea flashed through his mind, "Wait for them to become desperate and then take the opportunity to name their price?"
Wang Laogen nodded, "Something like that, maybe that’s their goal."
"That bastard Kong Sheng, I won’t let him off until he’s dead!" Ling Feng clenched his teeth.
"All right, it’s getting late. Are you going to rest at the manor or go back to the Luo Family’s place?" Wang Laogen asked.
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, "I’ll go back home first. Call me if there’s anything!"
"Okay!"
...
...
Upon returning to the Nine Heavens, to avoid Chu Nan noticing anything amiss, Ling Feng forced a slight smile and entered the First Layer of Heaven with Li Yun.
Seeing him like this, Li Yun wanted to laugh but felt it inappropriate, so she just held his hand, trying her best to use her tenderness to dissipate the gloom in his heart.
By then it was late at night, and Chu Nan was sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, meditating.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Nan sat up straight as soon as he saw it was Ling Feng, "You’ve come at the right time!"
"What’s up, old master?" Ling Feng smiled as he approached and sat opposite him.
Chu Nan looked at him seriously, "After a day of thought, I’ve suddenly made a decision, and I want to ask your opinion."
"Just tell me," Ling Feng nodded.
"I’m thinking of entrusting the Chu Family to you!"
"What?"
Ling Feng was stunned.
Looking at Chu Nan’s serious expression, he asked blankly, "What did you say? Did I hear you wrong?"
"Don’t be so nervous, I’m not trying to impose on you. I simply want to shift the focus of the Chu Family here," Chu Nan said with a smile.
Ling Feng still didn’t understand and murmured, "Shift? How do you mean?"
"I’m planning to contract the big mountain west of Shiliu Village and build houses there, then bring over those twenty people first!"
A glint of determination flashed in Chu Nan’s eyes as he continued, "Later on, those twenty people will be under your command!"
"..."
After a moment of confusion, Ling Feng finally understood and said with a wry smile, "Is that appropriate?"
"Of course it’s appropriate!"
Chu Nan smiled, "You are a smart man, so I won’t beat around the bush. I decided today entirely because you brought me here."
After a pause, he continued, "I also have my selfish motives, whether you admit it or not, you are now a big shot, and from now on, my Chu Family will be clinging to you!"
His words were straightforward and sincere. Ling Feng heard this and could only respond with a bitter smile, shaking his head, "You flatter me too much. Just today I was tricked by someone!"
"What happens today is today, and in the future, you are definitely not a simpleton. As long as you don’t mind my Chu Family being a drag, that’s fine!"
Chu Nan didn’t ask what had happened but said this with a smile.
With such a comment from him, Ling Feng naturally couldn’t say anything else and just nodded, "In that case, I am flattered by your high regard and certainly cannot refuse."
"Good, I will take care of it tomorrow!" Chu Nan nodded.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ling Feng and Li Yun, "It’s late, you both should go back and rest. I’m going to sleep for a while myself."
"Alright, I’ll come find you in the morning."
Ling Feng nodded, got up, and left the First Layer of Heaven with Li Yun.
Since they hadn’t seen Chen Yuhe and the others, they left and went straight to the Second Layer, only to arrive and immediately see Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang happily rushing over.
As for Wang Cai and Yellow, those two were probably off enjoying their own little world, nowhere to be seen.
Patting Da Qiang’s head, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Is everyone around? Show us the way!"
"Woof!"
Da Qiang let out a bark to the sky, then turned and ran.
The two of them followed them deep into the forest, and as they walked, Ling Feng’s smile grew bigger!
Because he already knew where they were headed!
They hadn’t walked far when the sounds of girls frolicking reached them from up ahead, Ling Feng’s smiling expression intensified, and his pace quickened.
Just as he thought of dashing to the pond to witness the scene of everyone bathing, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Li Yun!
Turning his head, Ling Feng asked in surprise, "What’s wrong?"
Li Yun gave him a stern look, "I know what you are thinking, but you better not do it!"
"Why not?" Ling Feng scratched his head.
Li Yun: "Others might not care, but what about Wang Wan’er and Feng Ling? They weren’t in the First Layer. They might be bathing with everyone else right now. What are they supposed to do if you show up?"
Right!
There were also Wang Wan’er and Feng Ling!
He had no particular relationship with these two. Showing up abruptly would surely be intrusive?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng chuckled sheepishly and said, "Then I’ll have to trouble Sister Yun to go check for me first. If they’re not there, then I’ll head over."
"Dream on, I bet they’re both there!"
Li Yun shot him a glance and walked deeper into the woods.
Ling Feng felt an itch in his heart, the mere thought of the bathing beauties in the pond almost made him drool.
But if he had the nerve to barge in, he knew he wouldn’t end well, as he’d likely be universally condemned. So, he had to hold back.
A few minutes passed, and Li Yun came back with a smile.
"Are the two of them there?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
"Of course, they are. Could I guess wrong?" Li Yun rolled her eyes.
Ling Feng felt helpless and could only sigh resignedly, "Alright then."
"Stop fantasizing and just go back and rest already."
Li Yun said that, turned around, and was about to return to the pond when suddenly she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist, which startled her!
"What are you doing?"
"Hehe, I don’t want to rest alone. Since they can’t leave, why don’t you come sleep with me?" Ling Feng said with a mischievous grin.
