The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 624: It’s Up to You

With Li Shiyun’s coquettish complaints and her soft Wu dialect, Ling Feng’s mood finally improved a bit.

As he tasted the pastries she had made, Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, "This is delicious, soft but not too sweet. What is it?"

"It’s made from yams produced in the Second Layer Heaven. If you like it, I’ll make more for you!"

The feeling of happiness that comes from your beloved enjoying something you made is incomparable to anything else.

Just as the two were immersed in tender affection, Chen Ping’s call finally came through.

Ling Feng had one arm wrapped around Li Shiyun’s waist, making it inconvenient to answer, so she thoughtfully used her own finger to swipe and pick up the call.

The two exchanged a smile before Ling Feng immediately asked, "Director Chen, have the higher-ups agreed?"

"I’m calling to inform you that Yu Nan has been apprehended by the staff of the Security Bureau’s overseas branch and is currently being escorted back to the country," Chen Ping said.

"What!"

If it weren’t for Li Shiyun sitting on his lap, Ling Feng would have almost stood up!

"That was quick, wasn’t it? I thought it would take at least a couple of days for the higher-ups to agree and then assign the task before we could get a result!"

Chen Ping hummed on the other end, "I didn’t expect it either. The top brass is clearly taking this very seriously, and they’ve notified me that you’re appointed the direct supervisor for this mission. After Yu Nan is brought back, you’ll be responsible for interrogating him!"

"Me?"

Ling Feng was somewhat flattered, "Am I up to it?"

"Whether you’re up to it or not, you have to do it. This is special attention from the Director-General; you wouldn’t want the details of that special space to become common knowledge because of the interrogation, would you?"

Chen Ping’s question brought clarity to Ling Feng, and he nodded, "Alright, I understand. Thank you for the leadership’s concern."

"This isn’t about concern. It’s for your better protection. Kid, cherish it!" Chen Ping said.

"Understood!"

Ling Feng hung up the phone with a grin and then kissed Li Shiyun’s neck, "All settled now!"

Li Shiyun just smiled, a look of indulgence in her eyes as if to say, as long as you’re happy.

However, it was getting late, and the two couldn’t keep embracing forever. She stood up and said, "You go do your thing. I’m off to the Second Layer Heaven to meet up with Wan’er and work on our grand plan!"

Ling Feng was taken aback, "What grand plan? Planting yams?"

"Something like that, you’ll find out later!"

Li Shiyun smiled, stood up, and teleported directly to Nine Heavens.

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and walked over to Zhou Yi’s home.

Lin Hua Qiang and Chu Nan had already had their meal, which was prepared by the three of them themselves.

All three were influential figures who rarely cooked, the exception being Wang Laogen, who had this hobby but seldom practiced it.

Now that they had the time, they were leisurely picking up the culinary skills of their younger days.

Ling Feng entered, explaining everything to the three men.

"While I knew the Security Bureau would take care of this, the speed of their response is still impressively fast!" Chu Nan remarked.

"Not just fast, it’s like they’re handling it with the highest level of attention!" Wang Laogen chimed in with a smile.

Meanwhile, Lin Hua Qiang asked, "Ling Feng, where do you plan to interrogate him once he’s brought back?"

"I was considering Demon Capital at first, but after some thought, I’d prefer to do it at my local branch. It’s a smaller target, and his accomplices probably wouldn’t think of this place," Ling Feng responded.

Chu Nan nodded, "That’s a good idea. When can we expect this person to arrive?"

Ling Feng, "In about a dozen hours or so, I estimate. At the earliest, it won’t be until midnight today!"

"Then that’s already quite fast!"

Chu Nan nodded again and then said, "Since we have to wait for tonight, you’re free for now, right?"

"It’s fine, do you need anything, Teacher?"

Seeing the strange look in his eyes, Ling Feng asked.

But instead of replying, Chu Nan turned to look at Wang Laogen!

"Why are you looking at me?" Wang Laogen, with an innocent face, asked, confused.

"If you really won’t talk, then forget it! I’m just worrying over nothing," Chu Nan said with a faint smile.

Ling Feng was even more puzzled, looking from one to the other, with no clue what these two old men were scheming.

Wang Laogen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ling Feng: "Actually, you don’t need to help with this, Mo Lan can handle it herself!"

"Oh, what’s the matter?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

"It’s nothing major, if you want to know, you’d better ask her yourself."

"..."

Ling Feng was confounded, thinking should I ask or should I not?

How did it come to this, that the decision has become mine?

He suddenly felt as if he fell into a trap set by the two old men, where asking or not asking were both unsatisfactory, leaving him in a predicament.

"Do as you see fit. We three are heading to the mountain, have to oversee the construction of that open-air swimming pool today; I need to make sure it doesn’t start leaking after just a few uses!"

Chu Nan said this and turned to go downstairs, with Wang Laogen following him.

As for Lin Huaqiang, he looked at Ling Feng with a half-smile: "If I were you, out of courtesy alone, I would at least offer to help!"

After saying this, he too went downstairs to join Chu Nan in the mountain.

Ling Feng felt helpless but agreed with Lin Hua’s reason. Knowing that Mo Lan had a problem, it would be insensitive not to at least offer help.

Though she was reserved, not given to talking or laughing, she was after all Wang Laogen’s daughter, and out of respect for him, he should show some concern, right?

With that thought, he took out his phone, found Mo Lan’s number, and dialed it.

The phone was answered almost instantly and Mo Lan’s voice, lowered, came from the other end, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing her tone and manner of speaking, Ling Feng was taken aback.

He then chuckled, "Nothing much. Old Wang implied that you seem to have run into some sort of problem, so I wanted to ask if you need my help?"

There was silence on Mo Lan’s side for a moment, then suddenly, she said, "We’ll talk later!"

After that, she hung up, leaving Ling Feng standing there in complete disarray!

Another half-hour passed before his phone rang again. Once he answered, Mo Lan’s voice sounded normal: "Do you want to help me?"

"Yeah, if you need it!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

Mo Lan was silent for a moment, then replied, "If you’re not busy, I don’t mind!"

"Well, I’m free until midnight!" said Ling Feng.

"That’s fine, I’ll only need three to five hours of your time. Stop talking and hurry over!" Mo Lan said.

Ling Feng, speechless, asked, "Where to?"

"Didn’t my dad tell you?" Mo Lan sounded surprised.

"No, he told me to ask you!" Ling Feng replied with a wry smile.

"That cave where you found the Stonemarrow last time, I’ll wait for you there!"

Mo Lan said this and then hung up the phone.

Ling Feng’s face was a picture of bewilderment: "Isn’t that place without any signal?"
