Chapter 619 Ling Feng’s Strategy
Chapter 619 Ling Feng’s Strategy
If there was any concrete evidence, Ling Feng actually didn’t have any.
His feeling about that woman was just that, a feeling, something felt a bit off.
Now that he thought about it, it actually didn’t matter whether he had hidden it or not earlier.
First, if that woman really wanted to ask, she could have completely found out from the doctor’s mouth earlier that he had mentioned Crimson Root Grass.
Second, the fact that the poison in Lin Huaqiang’s body had been neutralized was true, if the poisoner was nearby watching secretly, they would definitely know that he was the one in possession of the Crimson Root Grass!
Previously, he hadn’t thought much of it in his urgency to save someone, but now it occurred to Ling Feng that he and his side were standing in the light, while the poisoner was still in the shadows.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Joanna, "I’ve just had Uncle Lin’s people go after that woman, can you help as well?"
"What do you plan to do?" Joanna asked.
"I suspect she might be linked to the poisoning."
"Alright, I’ll go check it out immediately!"
Joanna nodded her head and turned to open the door.
"I’m coming with you!"
Miao Lanlan and Xun Qianqian spoke in unison, following her out.
After the three of them left, only Ling Feng and Lin Huaqiang, father and daughter, remained in the room. He sat down at the bedside and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Lin, think carefully, has anything been overlooked?"
Lin Huaqiang’s condition had mostly recovered by now. His brows furrowed tightly as he thought for a while before speaking, "I’m not an inexperienced ordinary person, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out where the problem lies!"
He had left his home this morning and went straight to the company, and after that, he had stayed there and hadn’t gone anywhere else.
Then, all of a sudden, he had felt unwell and quickly fell into unconsciousness.
Hearing this, Ling Feng sighed, "It seems that the other party’s methods are too clever, but I refuse to believe that they didn’t leave behind even a trace!"
"My people are also investigating. The company’s surveillance over the last few days should have been retrieved, but it’s uncertain whether anything will be found," Lin Huaqiang said.
Just as he said this, the door was knocked on, and then one of Lin Huaqiang’s subordinates rushed in hurriedly!
Seeing his bewildered expression, Ling Feng thought that something might have happened to Xun Qianqian and the others, so he immediately stood up and asked, "What’s happened?"
"Boss, Mr. Ling, the American visitor from last night met with an accident!"
"What?"
Ling Feng and Lin Huaqiang both looked astonished.
"Take it slow, what exactly happened?" Lin Huaqiang asked in a serious tone.
The subordinate swallowed, "We just received news that the visitor was supposed to have landed around now, but the people who were supposed to pick him up didn’t see him!"
"After confirming with our side that he indeed boarded the plane, the other side checked the airport’s registration information and found out that the man seems to have disappeared on the plane..."
"Oh?"
Ling Feng and Lin Huaqiang exchanged a glance.
Without having to guess, they knew the person was after the Spirit Stone in his possession!
Linking this person’s misfortune with Lin Huaqiang’s poisoning, it was clear this was no isolated incident.
Ling Feng scratched his head, "It looks like this is a case of thief robbing thief!"
"It’s not just thief robbing thief; they want to kill two birds with one stone, getting both the Spirit Stone and the bracelet!" Lin Huaqiang narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
"Do you mean they thought you were the buyer, so they poisoned you, and also thought you had the bracelet on you?" Ling Feng asked.
Lin Huaqiang nodded, "That’s right, otherwise, my incident happening at this critical juncture would be too hard to explain!"
"Makes sense," Ling Feng replied.
Ling Feng bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems, Uncle Lin, from the moment you were poisoned to the time you were sent to the hospital, and until Xiaoxue and the others rushed over, someone may have already searched you!"
"You’re right!"
Lin Huaqiang’s eyes showed a flash of appreciation, and then he said to his subordinate, "Immediately start an investigation!"
"Yes!"
Just as he finished speaking, before the man could leave, the door was opened again, and Joanna and the other two returned!
Seeing the expressions on the three women’s faces, Ling Feng’s heart sank, "Lost her?"
"Yes, the man working for Uncle Lin was knocked out at the corner downstairs, and that woman is nowhere to be found," Joanna said.
Ling Feng: "..."
After a moment of silence, he turned to Lin Huaqiang with a wry smile, "If she had been easily followed, it would have been rather strange."
"Yes, it’s just unexpected that the person turns out to be a woman!" Lin Huaqiang said.
That the woman was a problem was a certainty, but Ling Feng believed she definitely wasn’t working alone. After all, another person had gone missing on the plane, and without a partner, the deed would have been impossible.
So frowning slightly, he then said to Lin Huaqiang, "Uncle Lin, let’s get the discharge procedures sorted first, then we can talk at home."
"Alright, as you say!"
Lin Huaqiang was no longer in any danger; the poison had been dealt with, and he was back to normal. So he immediately got out of bed, left the hospital arrangements to his men, and returned home with everyone by car.
There was no conversation in the car, and only after they returned to Lin Huaqiang’s study did he say to Ling Feng, "Your involvement has added some variables to this case, and if I’m not mistaken, they will definitely target you now!"
"I’m aware. Crimson Root Grass is a starting point; both the adversary and I know it’s extraordinary. Now it’s not just them who are interested in me—I’m also keen to interact with them!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Do you have any plans?" asked Lin Huaqiang.
Ling Feng chuckled, "Indeed, I’ve been thinking on the way back."
Lin Huaqiang: "What do you intend to do?"
"I want to make them act like headless flies!"
...
...
Half an hour later, Ling Feng and Lin Huaqiang appeared at his home.
After two teleportations, having just appeared, Lin Huaqiang turned his head to look around, adjusting to his surroundings before saying, "It’s still the same, just as before!"
"I haven’t really tidied things up, so of course it’s the same!"
Ling Feng smiled, then said, "Let me take you to the back to have a look; everyone must be busy!"
"Okay!"
Lin Huaqiang nodded his head, and the two went to the backyard.
Seeing the busy crowd, Lin Huaqiang smiled slightly, "Everyone is here!"
Chu Nan and Wang Laogen went without saying; he was already familiar with them.
Lu Zihao was an important figure from the Lu Family, and Zhang He had experience working in the security bureau of Demon Capital; he knew both of them as well.
Seeing these familiar faces, Lin Huaqiang quickly greeted them.
The group, engrossed in their work, were all startled when they saw him, and then quickly stood up and walked over.
After a few pleasantries, when the reason for their arrival came up, Lin Huaqiang laughed, "This was all Ling Feng’s idea; listen to him!"
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on Ling Feng’s face.
He chuckled, "Here’s what I’m thinking..."
