Chapter 816 Task Content
"Ah!"
Zhang He cried out in pain, suddenly sitting up with a carp-like flop, rubbing his eyes and glaring at Ling Feng, "Why did you pinch me?"
Ling Feng remained silent and just blinked furiously at him, but Zhang He still didn’t get it.
Feeling something on his face, he then touched it and even sniffed his fingers, immediately bending over and retching!
Ling Feng was thoroughly speechless and could only turn to look at Bai Qian, who appeared displeased, "Sis, you’re back?"
"Ling Feng, that’s just mean, scaring me with that?"
After speaking, Zhang He wiped his face with paper and turned back.
But he only saw Bai Qian’s retreating figure walking calmly toward the villa.
"Holy shit, why is she back?" Zhang He’s eyes instantly widened.
"You ask me, who do I ask? What do we do now?" Ling Feng asked.
"Uh, wait for me outside!"
Zhang He said and turned into a blur, hastily chasing after her!
Ling Feng helplessly shook his head, seeing Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng still sound asleep, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
Then he didn’t idle either, beginning to clean up the trash on the lawn.
By the time he was almost done tidying up, Zhang He came back with an embarrassed smile, lowered his voice in front of Ling Feng, "Brother, let’s keep what just happened between us, don’t spread it, okay?"
"What, you sorted out sis?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"Sorted!" Zhang He nodded his head.
Ling Feng was curious, "How did you do it?"
"Uh..."
Zhang He pondered for a moment, "Why are you asking so many questions? Stop prying!"
"Come on, tell me, it would be good to learn a bit from you!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Forget it, this is something you have to figure out yourself. Other people’s words are useless!"
Zhang He shook his head and kicked Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng awake, "Get up, the sun’s already shining on your asses!"
Both of them sluggishly got up, looking around in confusion before they remembered where they were.
The time was just past seven in the morning, not yet eight, when Zhang He said to Ling Feng and the others, "Let’s go, head to the branch first, and we’ll have a meeting!"
Ling Feng looked back at the villa, "You’re just going to leave sis at home by herself?"
"She came back just to catch me, and she’ll be off to work later, don’t worry about it!"
Zhang He sighed and headed straight for Chen Xiao’s car.
Ling Feng was also helpless, chuckling to himself inwardly and quickly followed.
The four of them left the villa area and arrived in the city, they first found a place to buy some breakfast, then carried it with them to the precinct.
In Zhang He’s office, while wolfing down their breakfast, Zhang He turned on the projector mounted on the wall.
"This is Guo City, located in the southern part of Mianluo Country, characterized by two main aspects, it’s a hub of wealth and the source of chaos!"
Through Zhang He’s introduction, Ling Feng got a preliminary impression of Guo City, which was not only a spot for gambling on Jade Raw Stones and drug dealing, but also a paradise for many mercenaries.
The crowd gathered here mostly came from all walks of life, with every type of profession present, from those who dreamt of striking it rich overnight through gambling on stones to those engaged in despicable businesses of all sorts.
It could be said that this city was filled with desire and darkness.
And naturally, the mission this time was to go to Guo City.
Ling Feng learned from Zhang He that a large batch of newly mined jade raw stones would soon be on display here, and that jewelers and gamblers from all over the world would be rushing to participate.
But Zhang He’s attention wasn’t on the gambling itself, but on the Holy Light Society!
According to the intelligence he had received, the Holy Light Society was sending five people to the gambling event, with the aim of finding a very special stone.
As for what that stone was, it was still unclear.
But Zhang He had already received news that not only the Holy Light Society had rushed to Guo City, but several other organizations had also arrived. These were people who had never dealt with gambling or drugs before, so their sudden arrival surely meant they had other intentions!
After he finished speaking, Zhang He looked at Ling Feng, "Now you know how thoughtful I’ve been, right?"
"Don’t talk like that, expecting me to be grateful to you for taking such trouble over my business? No chance!"
Ling Feng chuckled and then said, "You asked me to come just to increase manpower, simply to boost the success rate of the mission!"
"You really don’t appreciate kindness!"
Zhang He glared at him and continued, "Don’t worry, if we find a good piece of jade, I want nothing from it; all the money will go to you!"
"Really? But I’ve heard jade can be very expensive. Finding a top-quality piece, the price can even exceed a hundred million! And you’re not tempted?" Ling Feng asked with a laugh.
"I’m not tempted. I said I’d give it to you, and I will. After all, you’re the one in need of money," Zhang He said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ling felt a little hurt and gave him a look, "I’m not short on money, what I need are things!"
"Isn’t that the same thing?"
Zhang He laughed and then, out of curiosity, asked, "What kind of ’things’ do you need?"
"A battleship, can you manage that? Preferably the kind that’s an aircraft carrier with helicopters!" Ling Feng inquired.
Zhang He was taken aback, then shook his head as vigorously as a rattle-drum, "Forget it, why don’t you ask the chief of the general staff if he can sort it out for you? I guarantee the moment you ask, you’ll get a verbal lashing!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "That’s exactly why I’m not asking!"
"Smart of you!"
Zhang He wasn’t sure if Ling Feng was just pulling his leg and didn’t ask any more about it. Instead, he changed the subject, "In Guo City, the Black Dragon Sect’s influence is quite stable, so this time, we will still need to find Feng Ling to make our activities there more convenient."
"So you had more than one purpose in finding me!"
Ling Feng smiled and nodded, "Alright, I’ll give her a call in a bit!"
After getting a good understanding of the situation, he stepped outside and called Feng Ling.
Once connected, Ling Feng succinctly explained that he was going to Mianluo Country, giving Feng Ling a considerable surprise.
Without another word, she arranged for a welcome and quickly scheduled the trip to Guo City as well.
Ling Feng hadn’t anticipated such efficiency. While he felt Feng Ling was very happy about him coming over, he considered that thinking so might be a bit too self-centered, so he didn’t show it and went back to tell Zhang He.
Then came the preparation to set off. It was still the four of them, Ling Feng didn’t need to prepare anything, but Zhang He and Chen Xiao packed for a while, each with a large travel bag.
Curious, Ling Feng asked, "What’s all this you’re bringing?"
"Weapons, guns and ammunition!" Zhang He replied.
"You can bring those across the border?" Ling Feng was astonished.
"Be careful. With the Public Security Bureau’s reputation, not just a few guns, even a military force could go over at any time," Zhang He said with a laugh.
Each place has its quirks, and near the border, Ling Feng didn’t know what the relationship between the Public Security Bureau and the opposing military was, so he didn’t ask too much.
The four of them drove off, heading straight for the port of entry. Then Ling Feng asked Zhang He, "Speaking of which, how many days are we going out for? Is this a good opportunity for you to lay low?"
