Chapter 582 Dragon Tooth Squad
Chapter 582 Dragon Tooth Squad
A convoy of trucks approached from a distance, and as it drew near, one could see that there were five trucks, all of them in a dark green color.
Ling Feng found it strange, thinking to himself, isn’t that a military vehicle?
As he was pondering, the convoy stopped by the roadside, and subsequently, two uniformed officers jumped down from the cabin of the first truck.
When the two approached, one of them asked with confusion, "What happened here?"
Being soldiers themselves, they noticed the presence of police officers, civilians, and a few wrecked motorcycles at the scene, so they came over to ask about the situation and see if they could be of assistance.
Before Zhang Jianshe could even start to explain, the shrew, somehow gaining strength from nowhere, broke free from the police and ran straight towards the military officers.
Then, with a thud, she knelt down, clutched the leg of one officer, and began to weep bitterly, "Soldier, save me, these police officers are colluding with that man to kill my son!"
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking how bold she was to fabricate such a tale!
Why not accuse me of wanting to kill your entire family while you’re at it?
The shrew continued her wailing, "This man is a local tyrant, and even the police are afraid of him. You have to stand up for me, he’s going to kill my entire family!"
Ling Feng: "..."
Speak of the devil!
Feeling helpless, he shook his head and seeing the bewildered look on the faces of the two officers, forced a wry smile and said, "Don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense, I am a soldier too, how could I be some local tyrant. Here is my identification!"
He then took out his credentials from the Security Bureau and handed them over.
Upon receiving and opening it, the officers immediately stood at attention, "Lieutenant Colonel, sir!"
"No need for a salute, this is a private dispute between them and me, it’s none of your business, go on with your duties," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"Reporting to the Lieutenant Colonel, we are on our way to Longyuan, awaiting your orders!" the officer said loudly.
This took Ling Feng by surprise, "So you are heading to Longyuan?"
"Yes, sir, the trucks are carrying supplies signed off by Chief Wei!"
"In that case, wait for me a moment, I will deal with the matter here and then lead you to Longyuan!"
Ling Feng nodded, turned back to Zhang Jianhua, and said, "Squad Leader Zhang, I have to take care of something!"
"Alright, Lieutenant Colonel Ling, go ahead with your tasks," Zhang Jianhua replied.
It was only now that he realized Ling Feng’s military rank was much higher than his!
Ling Feng nodded and looked down at the shrew, who by now was completely stupefied.
This young man was a Lieutenant Colonel?
As she was bewildered and at a loss, Ling Feng sneered and said, "Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in jail, you’d best stop making a scene. Otherwise, I’ll have you charged with obstructing military operations, and the next time you see your son, it’ll be during a prison visit!"
No sooner had he finished his sentence than the woman’s grip loosened as if she had been electrocuted.
Of course, she was not foolish; she knew there were some matters one could meddle in, and there were certain people one absolutely should not provoke!
Throwing a tantrum might be something people can get away with...
She obediently retreated back to the side of the redhead and her gang, and both she and her son were finally behaving properly.
Taking Lin Xue’s hand, Ling Feng greeted Zhang Jianhua and then returned to the side of the military vehicle, "Is there any room left?"
"Lieutenant Colonel, didn’t you drive here?" one officer inquired.
"We were out for a walk when we encountered some troublemakers, which led to this situation," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
In that case, please get in, there is room up there.
...
...
As the convoy arrived at Longyuan, Chen Ping was already waiting in the yard.
Despite having had a few drinks, he was quite clear on the gravity of matters and would never delay anything important.
However, when he saw Ling Feng and Lin Xue getting off the car, he froze for a moment, "Didn’t you two go home?"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "No, we went to sober up, and now all the alcohol we drank has been digested!"
Chen Ping: "..."
"Boss, you go ahead with your business, I have something to take care of at home, so I’ll head back first. Oh, and don’t call the traffic police, I’m really sober!"
After saying this, Ling Feng, with Lin Xue in tow, left.
If he didn’t leave now, it would be even harder to escape later.
Because the car was loaded with supplies, someone was going to have to unload them, right?
Ling Feng certainly didn’t want to end up as a loader!
After he and Lin Xue got in the car, he started it up and zoomed away.
By the time Chen Ping came to his senses, the sound of the car engine was no longer audible.
On the way home, Ling Feng turned to look at Lin Xue, "What’s with the Dragon Tooth Squad?"
Lin Xue answered.
Ling Feng was surprised, "Really? Are they taking us that seriously at Longyuan now?"
A local sub-bureau, isn’t that security level a bit too high?
Lin Xue shook her head, "I find it strange too. Logically, it shouldn’t be necessary. Maybe there’s something Director Chen hasn’t told us yet?"
"What could possibly be the matter? Our place is remote and resource-poor. Could someone be coming after me, and the higher-ups have sent protection?" Ling Feng scratched his head.
"Oh please, don’t flatter yourself, how could that be possible!"
Lin Xue rolled her eyes and said dismissively.
The drive took twenty minutes, and the two of them successfully returned to Shiliu Village.
By then it was nine o’clock at night. Seeing that there was no one at home, they teleported into the Nine Heavens.
Arriving at the First Layer, they saw only Li Yumei and the two children on the grass. Ling Feng asked, "Where are the others?"
"Qian Qian and the others went to the Fourth Layer, Sister Lan, and Yun Jie took Ling Yao to the Second Layer," Li Yumei replied.
"Oh."
Ling Feng nodded and turned to leave, but Li Yumei quickly called out to him, "Brother, don’t go, they went to take a bath!"
"Oh, alright then."
Ling Feng, realizing he shouldn’t go, recalled a similar situation last time where he nearly witnessed all the ladies bathing. He was stopped just in time.
Sitting down to play with the two children for a while, Ling Feng asked with a smile, "Why aren’t these two kids asleep yet, with it being so late? Did they sleep during the day?"
"No, you don’t understand. They’ve been here for a while now, and they only need four hours of sleep a day. They’re always so energetic!" Li Yumei replied with a smile.
"Is that so? Could it be related to the abundant Spiritual Energy here?"
Ling Feng smiled and said, looking at her, "It’s just a bit hard on you, having to take care of the kids and cook."
"No, these two kids are very well-behaved and not naughty at all. They can amuse themselves quite happily!" Li Yumei replied with a laugh.
One of the children could already walk albeit with occasional stumbles, while the other was just learning to walk. That they were so well-behaved at such a young age was quite special.
As they were talking, laughter and chatter from the girls came from the entrance; it was Zhang Lan and the others coming back.
Bathed in water full of Spiritual Energy, each of them had a radiant complexion, looking quite enchanting.
Ling Yao had already changed into modern clothes, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, looking full of life.
But when she saw Ling Feng was there, she exclaimed in surprise and hid behind the other women.
Ling Feng was baffled and asked, "What’s the matter? What happened?"
