The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 828 Asset Verification

After listening to Ling Feng’s words, Zhang He’s expression turned serious as he solemnly said, "Brother, you have to understand, this time we are facing international elites, different from every other time!"

"I know, but calling Zhou Yi over is too difficult, so I had to come myself!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.

"The gambling conference will last for three days, how about you call her now to come over?" Zhang He asked, unwilling to give up.

Ling Feng looked at him, "What do you mean, are you saying you don’t believe in my abilities?"

"What are you talking about? Of course, I believe in your abilities, I just don’t want anything unexpected to happen to you!" Zhang He said, rolling his eyes.

"I definitely won’t die, just relax!" Ling Feng said with a chuckle, patting his shoulder.

"Alright then."

Zhang He sighed and turned back to Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng, "Later you two go scout the area, find a vantage point, and Ling Feng and I will go for the financial verification. Let’s meet up at the hotel at noon!"

Both of them nodded at the same time, "Understood, boss!"

Ling Feng was surprised, "What does that mean, they’re not coming with us?"

"No, they are in charge of surveillance and early warning, and at critical moments, they can also shoot to kill dangerous targets!" Zhang He shook his head.

"Oh?"

It suddenly dawned on Ling Feng, remembering an incident he had faced before, and he looked at Chen Xiao, "You two know how to snipe?"

"Back when I was in the military, I was already a top-grade marksman!" Chen Xiao nodded.

Ling Feng was quite surprised and shared with him the attack he had experienced before.

After listening, Chen Xiao asked with some astonishment, "No way, big brother Ling, an armor-piercing bullet only gave you a superficial wound?"

"It didn’t hit the bone anyway, but it did draw blood. I’m telling you this so you’re mentally prepared in advance, in case we encounter someone with abilities similar to mine!" Ling Feng said.

"Eh..."

Chen Xiao was speechless and gave a wry smile, "If that’s the case, I’m afraid there’s not much I can do!"

"It’s just a reminder, I hope you don’t have to shoot!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

After saying this, something else seemed to occur to him, and he looked at Zhang He, "If we’ve thought of this, they probably have as well. Will there be a line of snipers lying in wait on every vantage point when the time comes?"

Zhang He couldn’t help but laugh at the remark, "What are you thinking? At such times, if we encounter them, they’re the enemy, and it’s not like we can lay side by side on a mission, right?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng looked at Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng, "Then you two need to be extra careful!"

"Don’t worry, big brother Ling, this kind of thing is routine for us. We’ll try not to encounter any enemies, but if we do, we’re not afraid of them!" Chen Xiao said nonchalantly.

At ten in the morning, the group left the hotel in a seven-seater car provided by Feng Ling.

The gambling conference was to be held in a gymnasium in Guo City, but the financial verification was not there, it was in a nearby building.

After arriving at the place, Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng left first to scout the area, while Ling Feng, Zhang He, and Feng Ling got out of the car and entered the building.

The lobby on the first floor was already crowded with people of all sorts of shapes and colors.

To participate in the gambling, you first need to get an identity verification, something like a badge, with a number on it. When buying, you can just call the number.

This system also caters to those who do not wish to expose their identities, which is considerate of the organizers.

After getting the number, you can then use it for the financial verification.

The so-called verification of funds didn’t involve transferring money from the card to an intermediary but was conducted by bank staff who would query the balance and then lock it in place.

This way, the funds in the card could only be used for gambling on stones, and they couldn’t be transferred right after verification, which enhanced the security of the capital. This was highly beneficial for both the sellers and the buyers of the stones.

Ling Feng learned of this operation for the first time and couldn’t help but laugh, "I really didn’t expect that. Is this also a unique feature of the local area?"

"As far as I know, this method of locking a balance is only available at one bank here in the entire world!" Zhang He nodded as he spoke.

Feng Ling also nodded, saying, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given you this card. This is a specialised card from that bank!"

There were many service windows, so despite the crowd, the verification process didn’t take too much time. Ling Feng and Zhang He quickly finished the procedure.

Holding their numbers, the three of them walked out of the building.

At that moment, two short and chubby men approached. Seeing the way they walked, Ling Feng laughed!

They were clearly Dongyingese!

After dealing with Kondo last time, he had learned how to identify them.

With just a glance at the two men, Ling Feng didn’t pay them any further attention and returned to the car with Zhang He.

It was only afterwards that he asked, "Tell me, what exactly is the Shadow Group?"

Zhang He: "It’s a civilian organization in Dongying, a group of fervent martial arts enthusiasts. They are rumored to have a few skilled members. The strongest among them seems to be on the verge of breaking through to the Qi Refinement Realm and currently ranks eighteenth on that leaderboard!"

"Oh, and with just that, they dare to come to the stone gambling event, hoping to get a slice of the action?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

"Arrogance, what else? Haven’t the people from there always been like that?" Zhang He said disdainfully.

Clearly, he didn’t have a good impression of Dongyingese people.

Ling Feng knew that as a bureau chief, Zhang He might be more aware of certain things between the countries, so he asked out of curiosity, "You seem to look down on them; did something happen?"

"Heh, well, I can’t really tell you about that!"

Zhang He smiled and saw that Ling Feng looked displeased, so he quickly added, "But I can tell you that we haven’t lost a single encounter against them in the last five years!"

"Oh, that’s satisfying to hear!"

Ling Feng’s face immediately brightened upon hearing this!

After returning to the hotel, they waited for more than an hour before Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng came back.

It was lunchtime, so Feng Ling took the opportunity to ask the hotel to prepare lunch and then left the room.

Ling Feng looked at Chen Xiao: "How did it go, did you find a suitable place?"

"We’ve chosen one. Don’t worry, Big Brother Ling!" Chen Xiao nodded.

Zhang He trusted his subordinates more than Ling Feng and didn’t even bother to ask.

But Ling Feng’s curiosity persisted, so he continued, "Did you discover any other suspicious people?"

"Actually, yes!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "In truth, we all recognized each other; we are all former soldiers. You can sense the iron-blooded aura immediately. Today, Zhang Meng and I encountered four different groups, all with the same intentions as us!"

"Uh, and then?" Ling Feng asked.

"Then everyone just looked for their own spot, trying not to choose the same location as the others!"

Chen Xiao chuckled, then added, "The site not only needs to offer a good view but also has to be concealed. It can’t be easily discovered by peers. Otherwise, if there’s trouble, one might get taken out by the rivals next door in the blink of an eye!"
