Chapter 837 Du Hao and Daughter
Upon entering the room next to Zhang He’s, who had just finished freshening up, he saw Ling Feng arrive and immediately asked, "What are you doing up so early?"
"We have guests coming later, and I wanted to entertain them here!" Ling Feng said.
"Hmm?"
Zhang He was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Your room turned into a battleground last night, didn’t it?"
"Get outta here!"
Ling Feng glared at him.
Zhang He chuckled and sat down to ask, "Who’s coming over?"
"An Xue’s father, Du Hao!" Ling Feng replied.
"What?"
Zhang He’s eyes widened in surprise. Only a few people knew about the affair with the Shakya Tribe, and he was one of them.
As a friend, Ling Feng hadn’t concealed this from him, so it was normal for Zhang He to react this way.
"I just found out he’s in Guo City; he arrived last night. As to why he’s here, that’s still unclear!" Ling Feng explained.
"This is a VIP; I need to tidy up a bit!"
Zhang He looked around and then realized there wasn’t much to clean up. The room looked almost the same as when he had moved in, as cleaning staff had maintained it.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Ling Feng hurried to open it.
Outside stood Du Hao and his daughter, Du Jiali!
Seeing the father and daughter, Ling Feng quickly flashed a smile, "Hello, Uncle!"
But seeing Du Jiali, Ling Feng still felt a bit strange and couldn’t help but glance at her.
However, Du Jiali did not respond, merely nodding slightly without saying a word.
After they entered the room, Ling Feng introduced Zhang He to them. Only then did Du Jiali speak, "So you are Director Zhang. I am Du Jiali from the South Sea City division."
"Oh, hello, hello!"
Zhang He, stunned for a moment, quickly greeted her.
Ling Feng hadn’t introduced Du Jiali’s identity at first, so Zhang He was unaware, and only now did he realize she was a colleague.
After they sat down, Du Hao got straight to the point, "Ling Feng, we’ve come to Guo City to seek revenge on an enemy, and I hope you can help us!"
"No problem, who is it?"
Because of his relationship with An Xue, Ling Feng agreed without a second thought and then asked.
"Our Shakya Tribe has a centuries-old enemy called the Yama Tribe. We’ve heard that they are also here for the gambling stone convention!" said Du Hao.
"The Yama Tribe?"
Ling Feng was startled and his eyes widened.
Seeing his reaction, Du Hao, puzzled, asked, "You’ve heard of this name?"
"More than heard. I’ve even handled a couple of them before!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Really?"
Now it was Du Hao’s turn to be surprised, and he asked incredulously.
"I had a conflict with someone, and they called two people from the Yama Tribe to deal with me, but I beat them up!" Ling Feng said with a chuckle.
"Do you remember their names?" asked Du Hao.
"One was Gus and the other was Telang."
At that, Du Hao froze. Then he looked back at Du Jiali.
Seeing the father and daughter like this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t tell me, these two are your enemies?"
"Exactly. They previously attempted to land on our ancestral grounds but were discovered by the Guardians of the Shakya Tribe. A battle ensued, injuring over a dozen of our people, but they didn’t manage to land successfully and eventually fled in disarray!" Du Hao explained.
Ling Feng was astonished, "Just because of that?"
"Exactly!"
Du Hao nodded his head, "You don’t know, trespassing on the ancestral land is an absolutely intolerable serious crime to the Shakya Tribe, let alone these two people also stole the heirloom of one of the Guardians. A gentleman would not stand idly by without seeking revenge, that’s why I personally came knocking on the door!"
"These two people must have gone crazy, right?"
Ling Feng was stunned, then said to Du Hao, "Uncle, rest assured, they both have been defeated by me. I will make sure to avenge you!"
"There’s no need for your help in taking revenge, just finding their hideout would already be a great help to me!" Du Hao said.
"Alright, I will definitely keep a closer watch!" Ling Feng nodded and said.
After finishing the main business, Du Hao changed the subject, "Ling Feng, you came here on a task this time, didn’t you?"
"Yes, it’s a mission from the headquarters. Jiali should know about it," Ling Feng replied.
Du Jiali shook her head, "I don’t know. The confidentiality level of this matter is very high, even our branch leader hasn’t heard of it."
"Oh, then, I’m not at liberty to discuss the mission details with you," Ling Feng said awkwardly.
Du Hao smiled, "No worries, I can understand!"
Having finished, he stood up, "We’ll be staying in Guo City for three to five days; call me if you need anything."
"Sure, Uncle, let me see you out!" Ling Feng quickly stood up and said.
After seeing off Du Hao and his daughter, upon returning to the living room and seeing Zhang He looking at him with a half-smile, Ling Feng was taken aback, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No reason. It’s just the first time I’ve seen you show so much respect to someone. You’ve never done that even for Wang Laogen, right?" Zhang He said with a smile.
Ling Feng glared, "Nonsense, what’s my relationship with old Wang!"
Zhang He chuckled, "There you have it. You obviously feel a bit guilty for taking his daughter!"
"..."
Even if what Zhang He said was right, Ling Feng didn’t want to admit it and gave him a blank look, "If you were as focused on the mission as you are on teasing me, you wouldn’t have been reprimanded yesterday!"
"Blaming me, huh? Wasn’t it because you were too busy looking for stones that you led me astray?" Zhang He shrugged his shoulders, his face the picture of innocence.
Ling Feng didn’t want to argue about yesterday’s matter, so he changed the subject, "By the way, have you contacted the naval ship?"
"I have, and you know, those Russians actually do have what you’re looking for, but the price..."
Zhang He stopped mid-sentence, teasingly holding back.
Ling Feng stared at him without saying a word, thinking I’ll see how long you can hold out!
Seeing that he didn’t react, Zhang He had no choice but to continue, "The price is a bit high!"
"How much?" Ling Feng asked.
"Ten billion!"
"Not too much. I already have over six billion. If I pull some resources together in the next few days, I should be able to afford it!" Ling Feng said.
Zhang He snickered, "I’m talking about Euros!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then angrily said, "Damn it, can’t you just say everything all at once?"
Then he immediately asked, "What’s the exchange rate for Euros right now?"
"One to eight!"
"Damn it, eighty billion!"
Ling Feng’s eyes bulged in shock as he exclaimed!
"Exactly, with your current finances, you could probably come close if you sold the entire Ling Corporation," Zhang He said.
"Stop joking, the Ling Corporation belongs to everyone, it wasn’t given to me for free, what are you talking about selling it?" Ling Feng said exasperated.
"Then there’s nothing that can be done, I’m helpless too, after all, that’s a huge sum of money!" Zhang He said, spreading his hands.
"No problem, we’ll figure something out!"
Ling Feng smiled, "Can a living person be peeved to death?"
Zhang He looked at him, "I am impressed by how fixated you are on the naval ship."
"If you had an Infinite Sea Domain that no one else knew about, wouldn’t you want a naval ship?" Ling Feng retorted.
