Chapter 835 Criticism
Ling Feng was also taken aback, and only then did he remember the matter at hand!
But when he turned around, he saw that the tourists at the scene were already starting to leave, and the number of people on the court was dwindling; there was simply no time left to carry out the mission!
So he could only helplessly sigh and said with a wry smile, "Looks like getting a dressing-down tonight is inevitable!"
"Alright, it’s too late to say anything now; let’s talk about it back at the base," another said.
Zhang He shook his head and turned to walk out.
Ling Feng and Feng Ling followed him, but at that moment, they heard Li Huai’s voice from behind, "Wait a moment."
"What’s up?" Ling Feng asked, turning his head back.
"Um, Mr. Ling, I don’t know which hotel you’re staying at, but if you’re free tonight, how about we have dinner together?" Li Huai asked with an apologetic smile.
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this guy had guts. He knew Buddha Master had come looking for him and still dared to make friends with him; wasn’t he afraid of getting burned?
After hesitating for a bit, he nodded, "Okay, I’ll see if I have time tonight. If I do, I’ll contact you!"
"Great, I’ll be waiting!"
Li Huai was very happy, said a quick goodbye, and then turned and left.
Ling Feng and the others left the sports stadium and then drove back to the hotel.
Zhang He hadn’t spoken the whole time, and it wasn’t until they got back to the room that Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "What’s with you, suddenly playing mute?"
"You’re the one who’s mute! I’m thinking about how to deal with Director Han!" Zhang He glared at him.
Ling Feng chuckled, "So that’s it, well, you take your time thinking. I don’t have to worry about that then!"
"..."
Zhang He got even more irritated when this was mentioned and simply lay down on the sofa, "I’m not thinking about it anymore. When the director asks later, we’ll both face the music together!"
"Uh..."
Now it was Ling Feng’s turn to be at a loss for words.
Seeing the two start to squabble again, Feng Ling shook her head and sighed, "Alright, stop it, you two. What shall we do about that bet then?"
Her reminder jogged Ling Feng’s memory; he looked at Zhang He, "Right, stop playing dead. You promised to help me with one thing. Well, I want to acquire a military ship, so you find me a channel for that!"
Zhang He: "..."
Seeing him silent, Ling Feng became alert, "What’s that supposed to mean? You’re not thinking of backing out, are you?"
"Of course not. I just find it strange. What do you need that thing for?" Zhang He sat up and asked.
"Never mind that, it has its major uses. A helicopter carrier would be best, and as for the price, of course, the lower the better!" Ling Feng said.
Zhang He was speechless and gave him a look before asking, "Let me ask you, operating a warship requires at least a hundred crew members. Once you buy it, do you think you can run it alone?"
"This..."
Ling Feng was stopped in his tracks by the question, realizing it was a significant problem.
But then Feng Ling murmured from the side, "No worries, Ling Yao will definitely be able to solve this problem!"
"Right, with her around!"
Energized by the thought, Ling Feng then said with a smile, "You don’t have to worry about the crew. Just find me a seller!
Zhang He rolled his eyes, "I really don’t get you. Fine, I will look into it for you!"
After saying this, he quickly added, "But let’s be clear, this is one-time only. Don’t come to me if you want to buy some cruise ship or aircraft carrier next time!"
"Of course not, one is enough for me. If anything, next time I might just get a tank or something, I’ll figure it out myself!" Ling Feng laughed.
Fortunately, he was seated, otherwise Zhang He would have definitely fallen headfirst to the ground!
He looked at Ling Feng in surprise, "Kid, what exactly are you up to? Having your own private army is illegal!"
"What are you thinking? Everything I bought is for making money, not for military purposes!" Ling Feng rolled his eyes at him.
"That’s a relief!"
Zhang He sighed with relief.
It was six o’clock in the evening, and Chen Xiao and Zhang Meng hadn’t returned yet, causing Ling Feng to ask with some concern, "They haven’t run into trouble, have they?"
"Don’t worry, we’ve been in constant contact. This mission they’re on, once they go, they can’t come back. Entering and exiting daily would raise suspicions!" explained Zhang He.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Then how do they handle meals?"
Zhang He looked at him, "Of course, there’s a way. You don’t need to worry about it!"
"Alright then." Ling Feng nodded.
Just then, the buzzer in the room went off, and Zhang He’s expression changed before he said with a wry smile, "Alright, Director Han is online!"
"Let’s go!"
Ling Feng smiled indifferently and entered the bedroom.
Once the equipment connected, Han Wancheng’s face appeared on the screen and he immediately asked, "How was today’s haul?"
"Found some nice pieces of jade. As for suspicious targets, none so far!" Ling Feng replied.
"Tell me the details!" demanded Han Wancheng.
"The details are, I bought those pieces of jade, then sold them at a high price!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Han Wancheng looked at the screen seriously, falling into silence for a moment.
Seeing this, an idea flashed in Ling Feng’s mind, "Oh right, the Buddha Master met with me and even asked me to pay him a visit when I have the time!"
"Hmm?"
This statement instantly captured Han Wancheng’s attention. After a pause, he asked, "He sought you out?"
Ling Feng smiled, "It’s a long story..."
For the next few minutes, Ling Feng recounted last night’s events, while Zhang He enjoyed being idle, sitting next to him like a wooden figurine, not uttering a word.
When Ling Feng finished speaking, Han Wancheng pondered for a moment before asking, "Ling Feng, what do you think the Buddha Master’s intentions are? Can you feel it?"
"No, but I think he doesn’t harbor any ill will. He just seems to want to become friends!" Ling Feng said.
"Oh!"
Han Wancheng nodded, then followed up with a question, "What are your thoughts about going to the Golden Triangle?"
"About that, I haven’t decided yet, but if the leadership needs me to go, then I’ll definitely take up the duty!" Ling Feng replied earnestly.
As soon as he said this, Han Wancheng glared at him before replying, "Don’t try to flatter me, I know that this afternoon you weren’t serious about the investigation and only cared about making money. I won’t pursue this matter, but if you’re still only busy making money tomorrow, don’t bother coming back!"
"Don’t worry, Leader, that definitely won’t happen again!"
Zhang He was so startled that he jumped up and snapped to attention in an instant!
However, Han Wancheng glared at him too, and then promptly cut off the signal!
Even though things turned out this way, Zhang He was still frightened into a sweat, and Ling Feng inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, then remarked, "Looks like we really can’t mess around tomorrow!"
"No kidding, the boss has spoken harshly, I wouldn’t dare even if you would!" Zhang He said.
However, a few minutes later, Ling Feng still felt uneasy and cautiously asked, "But, tomorrow new raw stones are going to be on sale, what if there’s another item worth over a hundred million?"
