Chapter 742 This is not over!
Facing Zhou Yi’s perplexity, He Xue smiled slightly, "There is nothing I want to know that I can’t find out. You’re just a member of the Security Bureau, what’s so difficult about that?"
"..."
Zhou Yi felt a sinking in his heart. One knew Ling Feng’s name, the other knew his nickname. Could it be that they were also related to the Security Bureau?
But he had never heard of it. What was their background?
As he puzzled over it, an impatient He Bing said, "Time’s up. Are you going to talk or not? Where exactly is He Wei?"
"He’s dead!"
A crisp voice came through, and then Mo Lan walked out from the room behind them.
Approaching them, her gaze was calm as she looked at He Bing and He Xue, "He’s already dead, there’s no need for you to look for him anymore!"
"Did you kill him?" He Bing narrowed his eyes.
"No, he died by running into a wall himself!" Mo Lan said indifferently.
"That’s impossible!"
He Bing’s eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.
"Believe it or not, that’s up to you. If you really can’t accept it, you can report it to the police!" Mo Lan said expressionlessly.
"..."
He Bing was filled with rage, gasping for breath but he did not speak.
He Xue, on the other hand, had her eyes darting around before hesitantly saying, "Since he’s dead, he’s still a member of the He Family, we should at least take his body, right?"
"Oh? You’re not going to report it?" Mo Lan glanced at her.
He Xue smiled, "There’s no need to trouble the police with this sort of thing."
"Fine!"
Mo Lan nodded and waved her hand towards the back.
A moment later, several workers under Wang Laogen came out carrying a stretcher.
Someone was lying on it covered with a white cloth, so the face was not visible.
But Ling Feng knew for sure that it had to be He Wei.
He hadn’t expected him to die so quickly.
And according to Mo Lan, the fellow probably committed suicide.
It wasn’t hard to understand. He Wei was very clear about what he had done and now that he was trapped, he knew that escape was almost impossible. Thus, to avoid humiliation, choosing suicide was understandable.
Looking at the body on the stretcher, Ling Feng didn’t feel a hint of pity; on the contrary, he thought this was the end He Wei deserved!
He Bing and He Xue reacted differently when they saw the stretcher; they trembled.
Then, they quickly stepped forward and lifted the white cloth to take a look.
"..."
Seeing their expressions, Ling Feng felt an indescribable emotion rise within him.
"The person has been handed over to you; can you leave now?" Mo Lan asked coldly.
He Bing looked up, his eyes full of fury, "This matter isn’t over; our He Family won’t let this rest!"
"He Corporation, right?"
Mo Lan scoffed, "I know who you are. You count as a big financial group over there in Capital City!"
As she spoke, she changed tack, "But since you have such a powerful influence, you must be well aware of everything He Wei has been up to lately. If you keep pestering me, I’m not afraid of you. We can always make the cause of this affair known to the public and see who is really the victim here!"
"You!"
He Bing clenched his teeth and glared at Mo Lan but did not speak. Because what Mo Lan said was true, he was well aware of He Wei’s actions — the young man was clearly asking for it!
At first, when an accident was staged here in an attempt to murder someone, the He Family had already issued a strict order for He Wei to leave the country immediately, banning him from continuing his reckless actions domestically.
But this guy didn’t stay abroad for long and actually couldn’t resist coming back. He delivered himself to his own death—who else is there to blame?
So after being scolded by Mo Lan, He Bing turned his head away and stopped looking at her, signaling to his followers to come over and move He Wei’s body to the car.
Afterwards, he shot Ling Feng a furious glance, "You just wait!"
"I usually settle grudges on the spot. Why tell me to wait? Why not come and take revenge on me now?" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Hmph!"
He Bing, of course, didn’t dare make a move. Having seen the skill Ling Feng displayed earlier, he knew he was no match for him. Only a fool would pick a fight now!
So he could only snort coldly and get in the car without turning back.
"You are indeed an interesting person. We will meet again in the future!"
He Xue, unlike the others, didn’t react much and just smiled at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng also smiled, eyeing her figure up and down, clicking his tongue as he said, "Not bad, if you’re offering yourself up, I certainly won’t mind having one more woman!"
This remark made He Xue stunned for a moment; then she rolled her eyes at him and got into the car.
Watching the car drive away, Ling Feng turned to Mo Lan, "Did that kid really commit suicide?"
"He was racked with guilt and afraid of being tortured. He chose to end it all himself," Mo Lan said indifferently.
"Well, whatever the case, it’s good that this menace is dead!"
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "What’s the deal with the He surname? How come both Zhou Yi and I know about it?"
"Their companies are cooperative partners with the security bureau. Many of the devices you wanted to buy before were manufactured by them!" Mo Lan explained.
"I see!"
Ling Feng nodded, not expecting to have such ties with the He Family.
So he chuckled wryly and turned to Zhou Yi, "Looks like I have to have a talk with Old Chen when I get back!"
"It’s time for a talk indeed. Our identities have actually been leaked to irrelevant parties which could turn out to be a big issue," Zhou Yi said, squinting his eyes.
Then Ling Feng looked at Mo Lan again, "Where’s Lin Xue?"
"She went to the Nine Heavens. What’s your plan now?" Mo Lan asked.
Ling Feng, "I want to visit the Luo Family to see what will become of Luo Qianyang. Let’s meet in the Nine Heavens later!"
"Alright."
Mo Lan nodded and walked away.
Ling Feng and Zhou Yi got into the car and left the estate, quickly arriving at the Luo Family.
Once there, they didn’t see Luo Qianyu, only Zhang Lan was present. Ling Feng asked with confusion, "Sister Lan, where are Luo Qianyang and the rest?"
"That kid has been locked up by me. He’s not allowed to leave the Luo Family estate for three years. As for Qianyu, she’s also confined upstairs," Zhang Lan said with a helpless look, glancing at Ling Feng, "You’re not going to blame me, are you?"
"No, I respect Sister Lan’s decision. You did this to preserve a bloodline for the Luo Family, didn’t you?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, I hope he can reform himself during these three years. If not, I’ll deal with him then," Zhang Lan said, biting her lip.
"Alright, let’s wait and see then."
Ling Feng handed Luo Qianyang over to her expecting such an outcome, so he wasn’t surprised.
After returning to the Nine Heavens, he immediately went to find Ling Yao, and then asked, "Sis, do you know what the Soul Detachment Technique is?"
"I think I’ve heard of it. It’s a kind of magic that controls the spirit. Why do you ask?" Ling Yao said curiously.
"I fell for it today; I was nearly used by a young lady!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile, recounting what had happened after seeing He Xue.
Ling Yao nodded after listening, "That means your spiritual power isn’t strong. You need to train it!"
