The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 579: An Encounter on the Road

The amber liquid poured out, thick and sticky. Just by looking at its appearance, you could tell that this liquor was definitely first-rate!

After everyone’s cup was filled, Chen Ping raised his glass, "Today, we have a full house, I’ll start with a few words."

Ling Feng and the others held their glasses, watching him intently.

"Our sub-bureau has earned great accolades this time, thanks to Ling Feng, which is cause for celebration!"

"It’s your leadership that shines!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

"Thanks to your good fortune, come, cheers!" Chen Ping said, his face glowing red.

Everyone raised their glasses, yet no one downed their drink in one go.

Lin Xue and He Bing had low alcohol tolerance; one drink would likely knock them off their feet.

As for the others, they were reluctant to waste such aged fine wine. Gulping it down was too much of a waste; it needed to be savored.

After drinking, everyone ate and drank merrily, and Ling Feng started talking about the events that had transpired at the Li Family.

This issue had been temporarily resolved, and the level of confidentiality had decreased, so it wouldn’t hurt to share some unimportant details with everyone.

After listening to his story, Chen Ping laughed, "I knew our Longyuan wouldn’t remain obscure. Thanks to this incident, our sub-bureau’s status has risen quite a bit at headquarters!"

"Really? Are there any rewards from the higher-ups?" Ling Feng asked.

Chen Ping glanced at him, "I knew you were going to ask that!"

He then got up, went back to his office, and returned with a document bag, "It’s all in here; take a look for yourselves!"

Ling Feng took it, opened it up, and found several sheets of paper, which he then distributed to everyone.

After looking it over, everyone was surprised. Lin Xue even looked up in shock, "Boss, all of this is for us?"

"That’s right, quite the generous gesture, isn’t it?" Chen Ping asked proudly.

"It’s not just generous, it’s incredibly flattering!" Lin Xue exclaimed.

Ling Feng also looked at the contents. Most of it was material resources, and there was also a fund of up to two billion.

This money was allocated for several purposes: bonuses for everyone, funds for expanding the sub-bureau’s infrastructure, and money for maintaining daily operations.

It must be said that headquarters had really gone all out this time.

"Our Longyuan does look a bit shabby and could use an upgrade and renovation," Ling Feng nodded and said.

Chen Ping looked at him, "There’s no individual reward for you this time; it’s all credited to our sub-bureau. Don’t overthink it."

"How could I?"

Ling Feng quickly shook his head, "I’m a member of Longyuan. Any honor I receive is collective, and if everyone benefits, I’m happy too!"

Hearing him say this, Du Song and He Bing exchanged glances and flattered in unison, "Boss, you’re formidable!"

The two were also riding on Ling Feng’s coattails; they respected him immensely, and this incident significantly elevated their view of him.

Chen Ping chuckled, "As long as you don’t mind. Oh, and just a reminder, the last batch of meat is almost consumed. It’s time to prepare the next batch!"

Ling Feng was startled, "Already?"

"What do you think? Even this is according to seniority. If we really split it evenly, it wouldn’t be enough!" Chen Ping said.

"Alright, I’ll start preparing once I get back!" Ling Feng nodded.

This meal lasted over an hour. Chen Ping’s prized bottle of wine was drunk to the last drop, and Du Song even lifted the bottle at the end, tilting his neck to sip the last few drops.

After eating their fill, Ling Feng stood up, ready to leave, but Chen Ping looked at him, "You’re not planning to drive back, are you?"

Ling Feng was startled, remembering he and Lin Xue had both drunk alcohol, so he smiled and said, "No, no, I’m walking back!"

"Alright then, off you go!" Chen Ping laughed.

"... ..."

Ling Feng fell silent, turned to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Boss, if I drive back, are you actually going to report me to the traffic police?"

"Exactly, that’s what I’m thinking!" Chen Ping chuckled.

"Really, my wonderful leader!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, took Lin Xue’s hand, and walked out the door.

As the night breeze swept by, the effects of the alcohol had mostly worn off. Glancing at Lin Xue’s flushed face, Ling Feng said with a smile, "Then shall we take a walk?"

"Sure, let’s go!"

Lin Xue was also in a very good mood, nodding with a giggly smile.

Thus, the two left Longyuan and walked along the highway toward the county town.

To any onlooker, they appeared to be a couple deeply in love, out for a stroll.

This area wasn’t far from the urban district, but there was a stretch of open space where both sides of the road were flanked by farmland, with no buildings in sight.

Lin Xue walked with her arm entwined in Ling Feng’s, resting her head on his shoulder, thoroughly enjoying the moment of warmth and coziness.

Unfortunately, the beautiful moment was short-lived. They hadn’t walked far when the roar of motorcycles thundered from behind!

They looked back and saw four or five motorcycles, seeming as if they’d had their exhaust pipes removed, each emitting a tremendous racket, extremely noisy!

Ling Feng frowned, "Are these people sick?"

"They call this ’blasting through the streets’. They think it’s thrilling, but they’re really just like rats crossing the street, scared stiff at the sight of traffic police!" Lin Xue said with a laugh.

The motorcycles were speeding so fast that they had already zoomed past them while they were talking. Had they not been going so quickly, Ling Feng would have liked to intercept them and teach them a lesson!

But they were riding too fast. Attempting to stop them might have led to fatal accidents, so Ling Feng could only curse under his breath and let it go.

Unexpectedly, whether they heard his curse or not, the riders stopped their bikes about a hundred meters down the road!

Then they turned around and came back!

Four motorcycles, with six people on them, pulled up in front of Ling Feng and Lin Xue and stopped.

These six youths all had colorful hair and their exposed limbs were covered with messy tattoos; they didn’t look like good people at a glance.

Seeing them blocking the path, Ling Feng looked at the few: "What do you want?"

"Hey pretty lady, want to go for a ride with us?" One red-haired guy asked Lin Xue with a grin, completely ignoring Ling Feng.

Lin Xue also despised such people, so ignoring them, she simply said one word, "Scram!"

"Yo, a feisty one! I like that!"

The red-haired man not only didn’t get angry but instead got off his bike with a cheeky smile.

Seeing him do this, the other five people also dismounted and parked their motorcycles, surrounding the two.

Ling Feng looked at them with a tense frown. The oldest of the six appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the youngest one, with a childlike face, looked to be about fourteen or fifteen.

Shouldn’t people this young be at school studying? What were they doing out blasting through the streets this late at night, don’t their parents care?

Seeing them charge over with aggressive momentum, Ling Feng asked, "What do you want to do?"

"What do we want to do? The lady is so feisty, just my type. Why don’t you come with us today, keep me company for a bit?" the red-haired guy asked with a wicked smile.

Obviously, Lin Xue wouldn’t be frightened by these punks, and, angered, she said, "Watch your language, you’re already harassing us!"

"Heh, harassment? That’s nothing. I want to do something even more outrageous!"

The red-haired man said with a lecherous smile, reaching out to touch Lin Xue’s chin.

"Back off!"

Ling Feng raised his hand and struck, sending the red-haired man’s arm flying!
