Chapter 827 Acting on the Situation
Chapter 827 Acting on the Situation
Feng Ling laughed, "It’s not what you think!"
"Then what happened?" Ling Feng asked.
"There are two reasons why Evil Dragon obediently sent the money," Feng Ling explained.
Feng Ling held up a finger, "First, there are rules in our line of work. He lost in front of so many people last night, so backing out of the debt was out of the question. If he didn’t pay, his reputation would be ruined and he’d never be able to mix in Guo City again!"
"As for the second reason, Buddha Master isn’t in Guo City. He resides in the Golden Triangle most of the time, and he always travels with at least a few dozen bodyguards. He hardly dares to leave. So even though Evil Dragon is intimidated by the strength of my Black Dragon Sect, he can’t just go asking Buddha Master for help."
Hearing this, Ling Feng became even more puzzled, "Then why does he still cling to Buddha Master?"
"Business, of course. He gets his goods from them. How could he not show some respect and benefit?" Feng Ling said.
"So that’s how it is!"
Once Ling Feng understood, he turned to see Zhang He staring intently at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You’re something else, kid. You moved against Buddha Master’s person in just one night?" Zhang He said incredulously.
"You know about that guy too? Seems like this Buddha Master is pretty famous," Ling Feng laughed.
"Not just famous. Do you know how many countries have him on their wanted list?"
Zhang He rolled his eyes, "This guy is on the blacklist of several countries. Every intelligence organization wants his head!"
"Because of drug trafficking?" Ling Feng asked.
"Not trafficking, manufacturing. This guy controls eighty percent of the Golden Triangle’s drug raw material sources!" Zhang He explained.
"Oh, so he must be really wealthy?" Ling Feng’s eyes widened.
Zhang He looked at him, "What, you thinking of extorting him?"
"Heh, just asking. What if there’s a chance?" Ling Feng chuckled.
At that, Zhang He and Feng Ling were both at a loss for words.
The one called Buddha Master commanded a strong force and even had high-priced cultivators as bodyguards. Approaching him was difficult, let alone extorting him!
After a bit of conversation, everyone had breakfast. Feng Ling’s subordinate also handed over a black banking card with 230 million stored on it to Ling Feng.
Looking at the pure black card, Ling Feng smiled and said to Zhang He, "When are we going gambling?"
Zhang He replied, "In the afternoon. We’ll verify funds first thing in the morning, and then we’ll go together."
Ling Feng knew there was more than just fund verification; they also needed to scout the situation and figure out who else had come this time.
So, he nodded, "Alright, call me when we leave!"
After speaking, he got up to return to his room.
But Zhang He stopped him, "Where are you off to?"
"Back to rest. What’s the point of staying here with you?" Ling Feng turned and said.
"You can’t just leave; we have a meeting soon!" Zhang He glared at him.
Ling Feng was taken aback and then sat down again, "What meeting?"
"An intelligence exchange meeting from headquarters, about the mission!" Zhang He said.
"Can’t you just attend it? Why do I have to be involved?" Ling Feng asked.
"You don’t have to participate, but the higher-ups specifically named you to attend. If you’re not afraid of being criticized, go ahead and leave!" Zhang He laughed.
"..."
Upon hearing that headquarters had specifically named him, Ling Feng immediately knew he neither wanted to nor could leave!
"Then you guys go ahead with the meeting, and I’ll just step out for a bit!"
Upon hearing Zhang He’s words, Feng Ling stood up and said.
"Thank you, Miss Feng, for your understanding!" Zhang He smiled.
After she left, Zhang He turned to Ling Feng, "You didn’t take her down last night?"
"None of your damn business!" Ling Feng rolled his eyes.
"Hehe, just curious!" Zhang He said with a wicked smile.
Ling Feng glanced at him, "Curious? Would you tell me about what’s going on with you and sister-in-law if I asked?"
"Er... don’t even think about it!" Zhang He said decisively.
"There you have it!" Ling Feng shrugged, "Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire, don’t you understand that?"
While they were bickering, Zhang Meng’s voice came from the bedroom, "Boss, the signal is connected!"
"Good!"
Zhang He hurriedly got up and went inside, followed by Ling Feng into the bedroom.
A satellite antenna had already been set up inside the room, positioned by the window facing the sky, and a small monitor was hung on the wall displaying the image of the headquarters’ conference room.
The communication signal was encrypted, so there was no risk of leakage, and so Zhang He sat down and asked, "Director Han, any new directives?"
"According to the intelligence we have, six organizations are involved in this gemstone gambling event, which are Holy Light Society, Shadow Group, as well as intelligence organizations from America and two European countries. The last one is Buddha Master from the Golden Triangle!" Han Wancheng said.
Zhang He smiled, "Just when you mention Buddha Master, we hear from him, did he actually leave the Golden Triangle?"
"Reliable intelligence indicates that he indeed went to Guo City, but his current whereabouts are unknown; he probably hasn’t arrived yet!" Han Wancheng said.
"Got it, do we have the member profiles for the other five organizations?" Zhang He asked.
"No, you’ll have to identify them yourselves!"
Director Han shook his head and, seeing Ling Feng at the side through the camera, said to him, "Ling Feng, this mission allows for nothing but success, you must find that special stone!"
Ling Feng: "..."
After a moment of silence, he somewhat speechlessly asked, "Director Han, aren’t you overestimating me a bit? I don’t have that much confidence!"
"That’s not my concern, adapt as the situation requires!"
After saying this, Han Wancheng added, "Zhang He, your main targets this time are Holy Light Society and Shadow Group. These two organizations have particularly tricky individuals, so be extra careful!"
"Understood, what about the intelligence organizations from those three countries? If they cause trouble, are we allowed to take them down?" Zhang He asked.
"Same as before, adapt as the situation requires!" Han Wancheng said.
"Clear!"
Zhang He nodded, then showed a troubled expression, "Boss, there are six organizations, that’s at least thirty or forty people, right? We only have four, don’t we need more hands?"
"Figure it out yourselves!" Han Wancheng said.
Zhang He: "..."
After the signal was cut off, he turned to Ling Feng, "Did you get what the director meant?"
Ling Feng shook his head, "No!"
"The only solution I can think of now is you!" Zhang He said intently.
"What do you mean? You’re planning to have me charge in alone?" Ling Feng asked.
"If you think it’s feasible, then go ahead. But what I meant was, if we run into a crisis, could you possibly bring Zhou Yi here? I know you have the capability!" Zhang He said with a sheepish smile.
"Er..."
Ling Feng thought that this was a dilemma!
The distance was too great!
It wasn’t impossible to perform teleportation with a medium-grade top-quality Spirit Stone, but if there were other Teleportation Arrays nearby, it could easily lead to deviations, just like the time he and An Xue teleported back from the island and accidentally entered someone else’s Teleportation Array!
So, after some thought, Ling Feng still shook his head, "Forget it, I’ll do it myself!"
