Chapter 758 Kidnapping?
Ling Feng also realized that the Jade Pendant Bai Ling had was a treasure, but since he hadn’t received any information about it, he still couldn’t determine what it was.
However, the effect of this Jade Pendant was truly magical, as it could actually maintain Bai Ling’s physical condition. It was indeed a wonder of creation.
Zhang He then looked at Ling Feng, "So, can I take it that you’ve agreed?"
"..."
Feeling pressured by his and Bai Qian’s gazes, Ling Feng suddenly felt like a duck being pushed onto a perch. After he sighed, he had no choice but to say, "Fine, I’ve agreed!"
Zhang He rolled his eyes, "Don’t look so down, as if I’ve placed a great burden on you. Bai Ling doesn’t need your meticulous care, just someone to provide timely treatment if she happens to fall ill, right?"
"Who said I look down? Don’t wrong me, okay!"
Ling Feng glared, as if he was really reluctant!
"Alright, alright, every time you two start arguing, there’s no end to it. My sister and I are going upstairs first, you two talk!" Bai Qian said as she stood up and, taking Bai Ling with her, left the private room.
After the two women had left, Zhang He suddenly put on a sleazy expression and looked at Ling Feng, "How about it? My little sister-in-law isn’t bad-looking, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Ling Feng looked at him, "You’re not blind. Why are you asking me if she’s pretty or not?"
"What use is it if I think she’s pretty? You have to like her!" Zhang He said with a smile.
"Get lost, I’ve never seen a brother-in-law behave like you!"
Ling Feng gave him a speechless look and rolled his eyes at him.
Then Zhang He’s face turned serious and he coughed, speaking solemnly, "Jokes aside, now that it’s just the two of us, I’ll tell you the truth: Bai Ling coming over to manage this hotel isn’t mine and Bai Qian’s idea!"
"Then whose idea is it? Hers?" Ling Feng asked.
Zhang He rolled his eyes, "Of course not, it was my father-in-law’s arrangement. Don’t you know about the Bai Family?"
Ling Feng shook his head, "No, I’ve only heard of the Chu Family, the Lu Family, and the Qiao Family. When did the Bai Family come out?"
"Those three are invisible families, but the Bai Family is different, their family, tsk tsk tsk..."
Zhang He had only gotten halfway through his sentence when Ling Feng gave him a look, "Let’s see your face, isn’t it just your in-laws? What’s there to be proud of? And so secretive about it!"
"I’m not bragging to you. The Bai Family is really impressive," Zhang He said.
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever, my Ling Family isn’t bad either, and we’ll be more impressive than them sooner or later!"
"..."
Zhang He was speechless. Although he knew Ling Feng was right, he felt that saying so was a bit too arrogant, so he simply closed his mouth and picked up his glass to down a drink, "Then I won’t talk to you anymore!"
Ling Feng looked at him, "Have you finished saying everything about why you came here?"
"I’ve finished, why?" Zhang He asked.
Ling Feng smiled, "That’s good, then I’m leaving, and not keeping you company to chuckle anymore."
Having said that, he stood up and turned to leave.
Zhang He asked helplessly, "You’re leaving just like that?"
"You’re not a beauty, what’s the point of staying?"
Ling Feng didn’t look back as he reached for the door, but then Zhang He immediately followed up with, "Don’t you want to hear about what’s going on with Yang Da and Yang Er?"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng turned back and saw Zhang He’s half-smiling face, "What else haven’t you said?"
"Sit down, keep me company for a couple of drinks, and I’ll tell you!" Zhang He raised his eyebrows.
"..."
Ling Feng glared at him and pulled out a chair to sit down, "Can’t you say everything all at once for once?"
"I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t haggle with you. Come on, let’s drink up quickly!"
Zhang He pushed the cup of wine toward Ling Feng with a smile on his face.
With no other choice, Ling Feng took the cup and drained the wine in one go.
"Alright, it’s really getting late. I’ll tell you what we know about Yang Da and Yang Er now!"
Zhang He knew when to stop joking around. If he continued to babble, Ling Feng might really lose his patience.
It was quite a while before Ling Feng came out of the private room, arm in arm with Zhang He, staggering away from the restaurant.
"Your sister-in-law is probably asleep by now, so I won’t invite you up. Take care on your way home," Zhang He said, his eyes bleary with drunkenness.
"Sure, you go on up. I won’t walk you out. Be safe on the road," Ling Feng slurred.
The two had talked and drunk for a long time in the private room, to the point where even the server lost track of how much baijiu and beer they had consumed.
Despite their physical resilience exceeding that of an average person, both Ling Feng and Zhang He had drunk too much.
That led to the scene unfolding now.
After they parted ways, Ling Feng went downstairs. Leveraging the last bit of clarity in his mind, he activated his Spiritual Power within his cells to rapidly metabolize the alcohol and sober up quickly.
But with that came an urgent need to pee!
Already on the street, Ling Feng had no choice but to look around for a secluded spot to relieve himself.
It was late at night, so there were not many people on the streets. The occasional car would pass by. Ling Feng looked around sneakily and quickly ducked into the greenery by the side of the road.
Moments later, he emerged with a refreshed expression on his face and returned to the roadside.
Just as he was about to continue strolling along, a series of footsteps suddenly came from behind him. As Ling Feng turned around, several men in black clothes approached him!
The alcohol hadn’t completely worn off yet. As Ling Feng was about to ask what they wanted, one of the men, wearing a duckbill cap, suddenly raised his baseball bat and struck him on the head!
"Bang!"
A buzzing thump resonated from Ling Feng’s head as the bat bounced off. The man in the duckbill cap failed to catch it, and the bat flew into the air!
"Damn, have you been practicing Iron Head Skill?"
The man exclaimed softly, and his associates opened a black cloth bag and threw it over Ling Feng’s head!
Afterward, several men clumsily grabbed Ling Feng and dragged him into a van that sped to the scene.
Moments later, the van sped off and disappeared into the night.
Ling Feng was initially bewildered, but by the time he realized what was happening, he was already being taken away in the van. That’s when he knew he had been kidnapped.
If that was the case, he didn’t bother to struggle, thinking to himself that he wanted to see who these people were. Daring to kidnap him, were they truly fearless of death?
So, he didn’t resist and, as the van swayed, gradually drifted off to sleep.
The people in the van were originally very tense, but then they were startled to hear a snoring sound coming from inside the cloth bag, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
"Is this guy asleep?"
"He can sleep after taking a hit from Brother Gao’s bat? Could he be knocked out?"
"Can your family snore when they’re unconscious?"
"That’s strange!"
The men chattered among themselves and soon the vehicle left the urban area. They drove along the highway for more than ten minutes and then turned into a forest.
