Chapter 791: Blocking the Road
Chapter 791: Blocking the Road
Li Shiyun was held in Ling Feng’s embrace, her face showing helplessness, yet her heart was filled with immense happiness.
She had originally intended to keep it a secret and bring it up later, but somehow she let it slip and he found out.
This was her first time experiencing such a thing, so naturally, she was very shy. Thus, when faced with Li Fei’er’s puzzlement, Li Shiyun could only bury her head in Ling Feng’s chest.
And with Ling Feng overjoyed to the point of madness, he hurriedly said to Li Fei’er, "What else could it be, Shiyun is pregnant!"
"Ah!"
Upon hearing this, Li Fei’er quickly rushed over and grabbed Ling Feng’s arm, "Then what are you spinning around for, let go quickly!"
"Oh, right, I shouldn’t move around carelessly!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng quickly let go, then he couldn’t help but cup Li Shiyun’s cheeks, "You girl, how could you think of keeping it from me?"
"I... I wanted to tell you when the time was right!" Li Shiyun said, looking down.
"It’s almost three months already, when are you planning to wait until!"
Ling Feng was speechless and extended his arms to hug her tightly.
Resting against his chest, Li Shiyun’s heart was already brimming with happiness.
When she first felt that she was pregnant, she was actually very nervous and uneasy, and it took her many mental preparations to accept the fact.
But now that everyone was about to know, she suddenly became nervous again.
Ling Feng didn’t realize the turmoil in Li Shiyun’s heart, and holding her while taking Li Fei’er’s hand, he immediately teleported to the Nine Heavens.
Soon, everyone knew about it!
Subsequently, Li Shiyun became the focus of protection and was not permitted to go anywhere.
Afterward, Ling Feng was also kicked out of the Nine Heavens.
The reason was simple, they were afraid he would affect the fetus!
Although he was reluctant, there was no helping it, as Ling Feng alone couldn’t contend with everyone—their combined few words were enough to leave him dizzy and disoriented.
So with reluctance, he returned home and couldn’t help but complain, "I really don’t know how I could possibly affect the baby, this is ridiculous!"
"What baby?"
A girl’s voice came from behind him. Ling Feng turned his head and saw Zhou Yi sitting on the bed, looking at him with confusion.
She hadn’t been in the Nine Heavens just now, and Ling Feng hadn’t asked, but now seeing her, he suddenly asked, "How come you’re here?"
"I just got back. What were you muttering to yourself just now?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Uh, Shiyun is pregnant, we just found out," Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yi’s eyes widened, and she sprang to her feet, "Really? No kidding?"
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Would I lie to you about this?"
A gleam in her eye, Zhou Yi pursed her lips, "Didn’t expect it would be her!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked, "What’s the matter? You don’t also want to have a child for me, do you?"
"Tuh, keep dreaming, I don’t have that kind of time!" Zhou Yi glared at him, then continued, "Pregnancy isn’t a surprise, given how many women are around you, it’s not unexpected."
"But I am very surprised, you know, the feeling of going to be a dad, my mood is completely different!" Ling Feng laughed.
"You’ll often have such surprises in the future!"
Zhou Yi glanced at him and then said seriously, "Now let’s talk business, what’s going on in the village?"
"Speaking of which, I was just looking for you!"
Ling Feng recounted the events that had happened in Shiliu Village, and Zhou Yi’s brows knitted together!
"Are they that arrogant?" she murmured to herself.
Ling Feng forced a smile. "Isn’t that the truth? They had the nerve to bully right up to my doorstep. How could I swallow this grievance?"
"So, what do you plan to do?" Zhou Yi asked, looking up.
"No rush. I’m waiting for news from Mo Lan. Once I understand their intentions, I’ll decide what to do," Ling Feng said with a laugh.
It was already the afternoon by then. Mo Lan had said she would have news soon, but it wasn’t until evening that Ling Feng finally received her call.
It had to be said, Mo Lan’s people were truly competent. Not only did they reveal the flow of funds for the He Family, but they also uncovered the project name of He’s Construction in Shiliu Village—they intended to build a factory there!
What’s more, it was a chemical plant!
Although the specific products were still unknown, Ling Feng suspected they would be toxic, likely to cause environmental pollution.
Hearing this, Ling Feng became anxious.
The actions of the He Family were utterly condemnable!
Mo Lan also told Ling Feng that He Jiuguang indeed was not a person from Capital City, but upon investigating his background, it turned out he had an intricate connection with the He Family. His surname was originally Zhu; he had changed it to He later on, though the reason was still unclear.
After hearing all this, Ling Feng hung up the phone, fire practically shooting from his eyes!
"Getting anxious is useless. They have certainly pulled strings with both higher and lower levels, coming here under the guise of investing in local economic development. Opposing them probably won’t do any good!" Zhou Yi couldn’t help but speak up upon seeing Ling Feng’s expression.
"You’re right. But they think they can force a factory into existence without my agreement? Not happening!" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh.
"So, what do you plan to do?" Zhou Yi asked.
Ling Feng glanced at her, the corner of his mouth turning up: "Now it’s time to show them the formations I control!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise: "Not gonna lie, that really is a good idea!"
"I’ve been pondering it all day. Without much effort, I can ensure they won’t be able to proceed!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Should we set up the formation tonight?" Zhou Yi asked with anticipation.
But Ling Feng shook his head. "No, we’re still missing a crucial material that I need to go buy in the county town!"
Zhou Yi: "What material? Don’t we have it around here?"
"No, it’s an inconspicuous and inexpensive item. I didn’t take it seriously before, but now I have to go buy it," Ling Feng said, with a bitter laugh.
"But it’s already dark now, and the stores have probably closed for the day. You might only be able to buy it tomorrow, right?" Zhou Yi asked.
"That’s correct. But let’s go take a look first. If we can buy it, great. If not, we’ll wait until tomorrow!"
Ling Feng smiled, stood up, and got ready to leave, asking, "Are you coming with me?"
"I’ve got nothing else going on, so let’s go together!"
So the two of them left the house. Ling Feng got in the car, ready to leave Shiliu Village.
But after only driving a few hundred meters, not even reaching the village entrance, they saw that the road ahead was blocked by a pile of rocks!
"What’s going on? This wasn’t here when I came back. Why is the road closed now?" Zhou Yi asked in surprise.
Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed as he stopped the car and jumped out.
On closer inspection, the road was completely covered with rocks, amassing to more than a dozen tons—an obstacle not even the bravest off-road vehicle could overcome!
"Who’s there!"
Ling Feng had just approached to find a way out when two beams from flashlights shone over from the distance.
Moments later, two figures arrived, turning their powerful flashlights full on Ling Feng’s face: "What are you doing?"
"I live in the village and need to go to the county town. Who are you?" Ling Feng asked, squinting his eyes.
"Construction site security. The road is closed now, no one unrecognized can come in or out!" the two men said loudly.
Ling Feng scoffed: "On what authority?"
"On the Village Chief’s order!" the two men bellowed.
