Chapter 817 Guo City
Zhang He rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about? I already said it’s taken care of, don’t you believe me?"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Hard to believe!"
Zhang He glared at him, "Believe it or not!"
Chen Xiao drove to the port of entry. Since there was close interaction between both sides, and tourists and goods were shuttling back and forth, it was necessary to queue up to pass through.
Ling Feng specifically looked at the vehicles ahead and noticed that each one had to go through a check. The Border Defense Army of Mianluo Country had brought drug-sniffing and riot control dogs, and they inspected each passing vehicle very thoroughly.
More than ten minutes later, when it was their turn, Chen Xiao directly handed out his identification.
The person on the other side took a glance and waved his hand, causing the soldiers who were prepared to inspect to immediately move aside and clear the pathway.
Seeing this, Ling Feng praised, "Nice, we’re exempt from inspection just like that?"
"Hehe, it wouldn’t have been this easy before, but after I became the director, I communicated with the other side, and there you have it," Zhang He said with pride.
Ling Feng was still somewhat skeptical, but Chen Xiao quickly confirmed, "That’s right. After the boss came, our communication with the other side indeed became much closer, and we have had a very pleasant cooperation!"
Ling Feng uttered an "Oh," looking at Zhang He, "No wonder you became the head of the subdivision at such a young age. It seems you really do have some skills!"
"Nonsense, of course I do!" Zhang He bragged.
After passing through the port of entry, two vehicles appeared on the side of the road ahead, and a petite girl was already standing beside one of the vehicles!
"Go ahead, your bosom friend is waiting. From now on, you’re responsible for what comes next!" Zhang He chuckled.
Ling Feng also smiled, opened the door, and got out of the car to approach Feng Ling.
He had already noticed from a distance but upon getting closer, Ling Feng immediately asked, "How come you look darker and thinner?"
"Busy, you know!"
Feng Ling smiled, revealing her white teeth, then asked, "Are you riding with me, or following behind?"
"Of course I’m riding with you!"
As far as Ling Feng was concerned, what was the fun of riding with three grown men? He quickly spoke without a second thought.
Feng Ling smiled, "Okay, then get in the car!"
Ling Feng nodded, gestured to Zhang He to follow behind, and then got into Feng Ling’s vehicle.
This was a large SUV with excellent off-road capabilities. Ling Feng guessed that the roads over here might not be very good, which is why Feng Ling would drive such a vehicle.
Indeed, after he got into the passenger seat, Feng Ling said with a smile, "Hold tight, the roads here are full of potholes, so it’ll be a bit bumpy!"
"No worries, I’m not that delicate!" Ling Feng laughed.
The car started up and drove onto the highway, with Chen Xiao immediately following behind.
Afterward, Zhang He complained, "That guy Ling Feng, truly ’love before bros’."
"Boss, all those pretty girls around Brother Ling, are they all his girlfriends?" Zhang Meng curiously asked, looking back.
"Yes, what, are you envious?" Zhang He asked.
Zhang Meng nodded, then counter-asked, "Aren’t you envious, boss?"
Zhang He thought, of course I’m damn envious, but even though that’s what he thought, he couldn’t say it out loud, so he shook his head and said, "I’m not greedy. Having your sister-in-law is enough for me!"
Zhang Meng didn’t speak, but shared a look with Chen Xiao, and in each other’s eyes, they saw a look that said, ’As if we’d believe that!’
The port was over two hundred kilometers from Guo City, and the road was full of potholes. The car could not travel fast, with the top speed being only sixty km/h.
However, Ling Feng didn’t feel lonely at all because it was just him and Feng Ling in the car, so they chatted a lot about the Nine Heavens and the Black Dragon Sect.
From her, Ling Feng learned that the Black Dragon Sect had now gotten on the right track, no longer engaged in unsavory business but had started legitimate enterprises instead.
Ling Feng highly praised Feng Ling for running a clean business and felt somewhat sympathetic, as managing such a large organization by herself, a young girl, must be quite demanding.
But he also felt Feng Ling didn’t think it was too hard, on the contrary, she seemed to be enjoying herself, so he wasn’t too worried.
Later, when they talked about Yu Linglong, Feng Ling asked about her recent situation, and Ling Feng only said she was doing fine, without elaborating further.
The main reason was that he hadn’t really gone to look for Yu Linglong, who had said she was leaving but hadn’t left yet, and he had no idea what she was up to.
After talking the whole way, they finally reached Guo City at dusk.
Though it was called a city, Ling Feng felt that the environment was really poor!
There were almost no buildings over six floors, streets were narrow, and there were vendors selling tourist souvenirs and tropical fruits everywhere. Despite the crowd being lively, it was also congested and very disorderly.
Hearing the conversations of passers-by and not understanding a word, Ling Feng suddenly realized he had left the country!
It was, after all, his first time leaving the nation, and being in a foreign country, he couldn’t help but smile, "This is indeed my first time!"
"Hmm?"
Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, then caught on, "What’s it feel like on your first trip abroad?"
"Nothing special. I used to think about traveling around the world once I had money, but I don’t have that desire anymore!" Ling Feng said.
Feng Ling glanced at him, "You were just a country bumpkin before, having no experience. Now that times have changed, naturally, your horizons are much higher, right?"
"Yeah, that’s right!" Ling Feng nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, the car stopped at the entrance of a hotel with flashing neon lights.
Three cars stopped at the same time, making the street even narrower instantly.
But the passers-by were already used to it and nobody said a thing.
At the hotel entrance, a few young men immediately came up to greet them when they saw the black dragon-shaped emblem on the cars.
After Feng Ling got out of the car and said a few words Ling Feng couldn’t understand, the men took charge of the cars to park them.
Zhang He and Chen Xiao, carrying their travel bags, joined everyone as they entered the hotel.
While the outside didn’t look very big, the lobby inside was very spacious and lavishly decorated.
As soon as Ling Feng entered, he immediately got the vibe of a star-rated hotel!
"This hotel belongs to the Black Dragon Sect, from top to bottom, it’s run by sect members, so there’s no need to worry about being exposed or anything," Feng Ling said as they walked.
"That makes things more convenient!" Ling Feng nodded.
The group bypassed the front desk and headed straight for the elevator, but Ling Feng inadvertently glanced over and saw several people sitting on a row of sofas in the lobby, looking their way.
The onlookers were foreigners, both Caucasians and African Americans, and it was unclear if they were together, but they watched with very penetrating gazes!
Ling Feng paused for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang He.
"Those are mercenaries. We’re all similar kinds of people, and it’s easy to tell we’re not ordinary, so they’re naturally going to take an extra look at us!" Zhang He explained.
