Chapter 630: Greater Conspiracy
Chapter 630: Greater Conspiracy
Yu Nan nodded, "Either they kill or they steal the Spirit Stone!"
"They’re definitely capable of that!"
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. The incident with Lin Huaqiang being in danger had already proven that the other party would stop at nothing to achieve their goals!
As they were discussing this, someone knocked on the door.
Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, then went to open the door. He saw Lin Huaqiang and Chen Ping at the doorway and asked, "What’s up?"
"We’ve been listening to you talk for so long, we also want to join the discussion!" Lin Huaqiang said with a smile.
Ling Feng realized, "That’s fine, we can all discuss it together!"
The two of them came in. Clearly, it was Chen Ping who had made the decision and was ready to accept Yu Nan.
Ling Feng actually had no objections either; as long as the person could contribute to the Security Bureau, that was all that mattered!
As for whether Yu Nan was telling the whole truth, they could just observe him over time.
Lin Huaqiang had met Yu Nan before, so when he saw him, Yu Nan was momentarily startled, "Mr. Lin, have you recovered already?"
"That’s right, thanks to Ling Feng’s help. Otherwise, I’d still be unconscious," Lin Huaqiang said with a laugh.
Then he continued to ask, "You knew about my accident too?"
Yu Nan nodded, "I heard about it when I arrived in Europe. They asked me for detailed information about you, who was present at the time, and where you might have placed the jade bracelet, and so on."
"These people are really greedy!" Ling Feng snorted coldly.
"To me, it seems they might want the jade bracelet, but they’re probably more interested in the Spirit Stone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made such an effort; they could’ve just taken it from Yu Nan directly," Lin Huaqiang said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Clearly, they want to trace the origin of the Spirit Stone!"
"Exactly!"
Chen Ping and Yu Nan also nodded in agreement.
"So, now that they can’t find me in the Demon Capital, they might start looking for you, especially since you’ve shown your face in the hospital!" Lin Huaqiang said.
Ling Feng replied, "I’ve thought of that."
After speaking, he turned to look at Yu Nan, "What’s the level of these three people?"
"Well, I didn’t get a chance to see them, but I believe they’re not that high-level. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have resorted to poisoning Mr. Lin!" Yu Nan said.
Ling Feng thought so too and nodded, then turned to Lin Huaqiang and Chen Ping, "What do you two think is the goal of these people? Is it really just for the Spirit Stone?"
Before they could speak, a voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the interrogation room, "It would be better if it were just that. I’m afraid they have a deeper objective!"
"Director Han?"
Chen Ping and Ling Feng were both taken aback!
Immediately after, Chen Ping turned on the monitor hanging on the wall, adjusted the screen, and Han Wancheng’s face appeared.
"Sorry Little Chen, I had promised not to interfere, but given the severity of the matter, I decided to listen to what you are discussing," Han Wancheng said.
Ling Feng and Chen Ping were left speechless, thinking even the Director doesn’t keep his word?
"Don’t worry, Ling Feng. Your matter will stay with me. I won’t mention it to anyone," Han Wancheng continued.
With that said, Ling Feng had nothing more to add, so he just smiled, "No problem. Director Han, what do you mean by a deeper objective?"
Han Wancheng replied, "Once they control the Spirit Stones of our world, it’ll be difficult for Earth’s people to break through to a level above Qi Force."
"..."
Ling Feng and the others, upon hearing these words, all revealed shocked expressions in their eyes!
A sense of fear rose from the bottom of their hearts because everyone felt that this speculation had a high probability!
If it really was so, the other party must be setting up a huge plot!
Moreover, once successful, the outcome would inevitably be terrifying!
"Director Han, if what you’re saying is true, the severity of this case might need to be escalated by an order of magnitude," Chen Ping said.
"Yes, this matter had already been given high priority, but now it seems that it is time to respond with the highest level of crisis."
Han Wancheng finished speaking and promptly added, "You all discuss, I need to make some arrangements."
After that, the screen turned black; he had logged off.
At this moment, Ling Feng looked at Yu Nan, "Did you predict this outcome?"
"No."
Yu Nan had a wry smile on his face, "My vision is still too narrow. I only thought they were after the Spirit Stones, but I didn’t consider that there could be such severe possibilities behind it!"
"Now it seems that it’s time to catch one of them and ask some questions!" Ling Feng said with narrowed eyes.
The threads of the matter were gradually becoming clearer; it was confirmed that those people indeed came from different worlds and seemed to be brewing a massive conspiracy. They had also committed many misdeeds, and the situation couldn’t just be let go!
However, no sooner had he said this than Yu Nan replied with a wry smile, "I did have a chance to come into contact with them, but now, I might not have the chance anymore!"
Ling Feng glanced at him, "You mean, by taking you away, we’ve already startled the snake in the grass?"
"Yes, these people are extremely cautious. It’s impossible for them not to know that I’ve been missing for more than a day," Yu Nan nodded.
"They already knew they had been discovered!"
Ling Feng scoffed. When he saw that woman in the Demon Capital hospital, they would have known that he could cure the poison of the Crimson Root Grass; they surely must have thought of something.
But no matter what they thought or what preparations they made, as long as they remained in Huaxia, or on Earth, these people had to be captured to ascertain their real intentions!
The discussion had almost reached its conclusion. Some details still needed to be clarified, but they were not immediately pressing, so Chen Ping decided to wait for the headquarters to come up with a response before continuing.
At this time, Yu Nan looked at Ling Feng, "What about my matter?"
"If you really want to work for the Security Bureau, start preparing mentally and await vetting," Ling Feng said.
"No problem. Oh, and I need to remind you, if they know about your existence, they might come after you soon. Please be extra careful!" Yu Nan said.
Ling Feng smiled, "I would be worried if they didn’t come!"
It would actually be easier if they came directly. What troubled him was the possibility that after discovering his identity, those people might not come for him directly but play dirty tricks in the background–that was what gave him a headache!
However, Ling Feng wasn’t afraid. Even if the other side was more advanced in their realm than he was, it still wouldn’t be a fatal threat.
After all, when adding up his overall strength, not even those in the Peak Qi Force realm were necessarily his match!
The time was now four o’clock in the morning. Ling Feng and Lin Huaqiang left Longyuan and quickly drove home.
"You haven’t slept all night; Uncle Lin, you should go back and rest," Ling Feng said as he stopped the car.
The sky was already brightening, and Lin Huaqiang smiled, "I’m old; I don’t need much sleep. What are you planning to do next?"
"I want to go back and think things through, to sift through the sequence of events!" Ling Feng said.
Lin Huaqiang looked at him, his eyes full of approval, "Well thought through. I indeed didn’t misjudge you."
