Chapter 796: Chase
Chen Ping was stunned, then glared with widened eyes, "You dare to say that wasn’t your doing?"
"So what if I said it? It wasn’t me!" Ling Feng’s neck stiffened!
"You!"
Chen Ping was furious, pointing at Ling Feng’s nose, "You just keep making trouble. You had just started to create a good impression upstairs, and it’ll quickly be ruined by you!"
"Don’t worry, boss. This will soon be cleared up. Let the foreigners guess as they please. I actually think it’s a good thing; it spares us from their constant petty annoyances!" Ling Feng laughed.
"If only what you said counted!"
Chen Ping glared at him reproachfully.
Even so, Ling Feng could tell that Chen Ping was just reminding him and didn’t actually insist on shutting down the "Thunderstorm Array".
It seemed more like he was simply being prudent in advance, not that there were any strict orders from above that had to be followed!
Perhaps, it was also a tactic, to see if the "Thunderstorm Array" was really caused by him!
Thinking this, Ling Feng told himself that it looked like the "Thunderstorm Array" could not only not stop but would also need to be frequently activated in the future to show off, otherwise wouldn’t it confirm that he was the culprit?
Wang Wan’er quickly finished uploading the data and bounded up the stairs with light steps.
Seeing her, Chen Ping’s face immediately lost its previous irritation, and he asked amicably, "Little Wang, now that you are part of our Safety Bureau, if you or your family need anything, just let the bureau know. This is the right you have as a member of the Safety Bureau!"
"No way, boss, why didn’t I get this benefit when I joined?" Ling Feng asked discontentedly.
"You came early; this is a new policy!" Chen Ping turned back and glared at him.
Ling Feng: "..."
He wasn’t sure if this was true or made up, but he felt like it was contrived. Chen Ping obviously valued Wang Wan’er’s abilities more!
A twinge of sourness came over Ling Feng, then he said, "Alright, Wan’er, don’t be shy. If your family isn’t well off, ask the director for a hundred or two hundred thousand to spend first; he’s willing to give it anyway!"
"..."
Wang Wan’er smiled, her eyes turning into crescents, and covered her mouth as she said, "Thanks for the reminder, Big Brother Ling, but there’s no need; my family isn’t short of money."
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself how good it was that the girl was sensible and didn’t join Ling Feng in his mischief, otherwise it would have been quite painful for him!
After exchanging a few words, a staff member delivered Wang Wan’er’s work ID, which she carefully pocketed like a treasure and patted gently.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng and Chen Ping exchanged a smile, knowing the girl cherished this honor greatly.
Afterward, Ling Feng said goodbye, and the two set off in a car, leaving Longyuan, preparing to return to Ling Corporation Tower.
Since they weren’t in a hurry, Ling Feng slowed down the car, rolled down the window, and let the breeze come in, enjoying the pleasant mood.
Wang Wan’er felt the same. If it weren’t for Ling Feng being beside her, making her a bit reserved, she would have already been humming a song.
Once on the outer ring road, and a few kilometers further they would reach Ling Corporation Tower, a pickup truck suddenly charged across from the opposite lane and barreled straight towards Ling Feng’s car!
The incident happened very fast, almost within two seconds!
If it had been anyone else, they might have been petrified with fear and helplessly awaited the collision.
But Ling Feng was different; his spiritual power, several times stronger than an ordinary person’s, allowed him to react immediately upon sensing something was wrong, swinging the steering wheel sharply to the right!
The instant reaction made the car quickly veer off course, narrowly avoiding the pickup truck!
Actually, if the collision had occurred, Ling Feng wouldn’t have been hurt at all, given his physical condition—after all, his level was there!
But Wang Wan’er couldn’t afford the same, and Ling Feng, fearing to hurt her, immediately dodged the hit.
Seeing the pickup truck miss them and accelerate away, Ling Feng sneered, "Nice try. Using such outdated tricks on me, thinking you can run? No way!"
He then told Wang Wan’er to hold on tight before abruptly turning the steering wheel to reverse the car’s direction!
Used to driving tough vehicles, Ling Feng had taken out a four-wheel drive valued at over 500,000 yuan from the Ling family company this time.
Since it was an automatic, there was no need to shift gears, so Ling Feng simply floored the accelerator!
The huge vehicle shuddered for a moment, then chased after the pickup like an arrow released from its bow!
Wang Wan’er, nervous, grabbed the handle, knowing Ling Feng was going after the pickup but said nothing, focusing on the road ahead with her heart pounding erratically.
She had only heard about Ling Feng’s battles with others and had never seen one herself until today, her first time.
Who the opponent was and what kind of tricks they had up their sleeve were completely unknown.
So, it was understandable for her to feel a bit nervous.
While Ling Feng kept a close watch on the madly speeding pickup a few hundred meters ahead, he said to Wang Wan’er, "If you’re scared, you can teleport to Nine Heavens first!"
"I, I’m not scared!"
Wang Wan’er shook her head, feigning calm as she spoke.
Ling Feng thought for a moment, then smiled, "Alright, since you’re officially with the Security Bureau now, you should get some training too!"
Without saying more, he continued to focus on the vehicle ahead and pursue.
Though the pickup truck was old, it was powerfully driven. Ling Feng had chased it for a few kilometers before he managed to close the gap to around a hundred meters.
It looked close, but he couldn’t catch up, making Ling Feng somewhat frustrated.
Seeing his agitated expression, Wang Wan’er nearly suggested giving up, feeling that continuing the chase seemed endless without knowing when they’d catch up.
Just then, not far ahead on the road, stood a number of people and a few stopped vehicles, completely blocking the way!
Ling Feng knew immediately that it must be an accident, with people arguing about who was at fault!
At the sight, the speeding pickup was caught off guard and the vehicle even swayed like a snake for a moment!
Ling Feng sneered, thinking you don’t know where to go, right? It’s your unlucky day, now let’s see where you can run off to!
Without slowing down, he aimed for the site of the accident, while the pickup made a sudden stop and pulled over to the road shoulder.
While Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, he saw a man in black jump down from the truck and quickly dash into the woods!
"Trying to run? Well, you’re out of luck, not many can outrun me!"
Ling Feng chuckled, bringing the car to a stop and pushing the door open to get out!
Seeing this, Wang Wan’er called out urgently, "What about me?"
"You wait here for me..."
Before Ling Feng could finish, he suddenly changed his mind, went to the passenger side, opened the door, pulled her out of the car, and then said, "Wrap your arms around my neck!"
In the moment Wang Wan’er was startled, Ling Feng had already picked her up, then jumped off the roadside, and headed straight into the depths of the woods!
