Chapter 852 Playing
Ling Feng made an acknowledging sound and nodded, "It’s not that hard to understand, Brother Li, can I know who the financier is?"
"That...."
Li Huai hesitated for a moment, his eyes shifting around, "Brother, you’d better not ask. After all, you won’t be short of money. Once the deal is done, the other 1.5 billion will be transferred to you immediately, without a moment’s delay!"
"Alright then."
Ling Feng sneered inwardly, thinking that even if you don’t tell me, I’ve already guessed it!
Right now, the priority was to coax that 1.5 billion over to him first!
Since the people from Dongying were not short of money, he might as well fleece them first, and if there was a chance to get the other 1.5 billion later, that would be even better!
Li Huai, for some reason, had developed complete trust in Ling Feng and without a second word, dragged him off to make the transfer.
A little over ten minutes later, Ling Feng’s bank account was 1.5 billion heavier.
It felt like a dream, having amassed over 3 billion in the blink of an eye. Ling Feng thought to himself that he must properly thank Zhang He later on; it was lucky that he had asked him to come over and help, or else how would he have had the chance to secure so much money?
Walking with his head in the clouds, Ling Feng seemed a bit off. Feng Ling, noticing this, couldn’t help but laugh and said, "What’s going on here? Enjoying the thrill of being a billionaire?"
"Pretty much. I used to think that if I had a million, life would have peaked; then later I thought ten million would be even more exhilarating. Now, sitting on dozens of billions, I realize that money is indeed something the more the better!" Ling Feng laughed.
Feng Ling chuckled, "Now to you, money is just a number anyway. The excitement you feel is really just a psychological effect!"
"That’s really true!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Right now, I can’t even think of what to buy, it’s just a sense of security in my heart, that’s all!"
As the two talked, a young man surrounded by bodyguards walked over, his face grim.
Ling Feng had already seen Sun Shaofeng but pretended not to and turned to chat and laugh with Feng Ling instead.
Sun Shaofeng coughed and asked coldly, "Well? Have you thought it through?"
Ling Feng turned his head, "Yo, is that you, Young Master Sun? What you’re asking if I’ve thought through?"
"Stop playing dumb, you know what I’m talking about!" Sun Shaofeng narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, you’re referring to the stone matter? I have thought it through, I can’t help you with that!" Ling Feng chuckled.
"Is that so? Are you truly going to oppose the Sun Family?" Sun Shaofeng asked coldly.
Ling Feng smirked inside, thinking he couldn’t care less about someone with the surname Sun; the Russians were already targeting him, and did they see him scared?
He didn’t voice these thoughts, however, but just smiled and then said, "Sorry, I’m not intentionally opposing you; it’s just that someone offered me a better deal, and they’ve already paid a deposit!"
"Who is it?"
Sun Shaofeng was taken aback, his brows immediately furrowing!
Ling Feng looked at him, "Do you think I would tell you?"
"..."
Stunned, Sun Shaofeng’s eyes then widened with anger, "Not telling? It seems I need to show you some severity, so you realize I’m not joking!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then his eyes shifted, "Since Young Master Sun is showing his power, perhaps I should give you some insight!"
He then lowered his voice and said to Sun Shaofeng, "It’s the Holy Light Society!"
"Huh?"
Sun Shaofeng was startled, then looked at Ling Feng, "Are you kidding? How could they possibly...?"
"What? Does Young Master Sun have connections with the Holy Light Society?" Ling Feng asked indifferently.
"..."
Sun Shaofeng’s gaze faltered, then he sneered, "Trying to trap me with words? You’re still too green!"
"There’s no need to trap you with words; the presence of Gus and Telang on the hotel floor you reserved speaks volumes!" Ling Feng said with a cold sneer.
"I underestimated you!"
Sun Shaofeng was stunned for a moment and then chuckled, "It doesn’t matter if you know. These two are just mercenaries who shout ’boss’ to whoever pays them. I hired them merely as bodyguards. Don’t overthink it!"
With that, he absolved himself of any connection, and Ling Feng truly had no comeback!
It was clear that Gus and Telang were indeed mercenaries who would work for whomever paid them.
So, Ling Feng smiled and said, "It’s not that I’m overthinking, but that you shouldn’t overthink, Sun Shaofeng. There’s no need to be nervous; even if you’re colluding with foreigners, it’s none of my business!"
At his words, Sun Shaofeng’s eyes flickered immediately!
Then he sneered, "It doesn’t matter. Since you won’t help me, I’ll find someone else. Who wins and who loses is still up in the air!"
"Then, here’s to Sun Shaofeng’s success," Ling Feng said with a smile. "There are quite a few people eyeing that stone today. If you manage to get it, you’d be winning glory for the country!"
"Hmph!"
Sun Shaofeng knew he was being sarcastic, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Watching his retreating back, Feng Ling was somewhat speechless: "What is this guy plotting?"
"Maybe he’s after his master’s praise?"
Ling Feng said indifferently, then turned to look at her: "This guy is just like Li Huai, traitors seeking glory from their betrayal. Although they aren’t yet fully conscious of it, I have a strong intuition!"
"Then he deserves to die!"
Feng Ling particularly despised these types of people. Although she wasn’t from Huaxia, because of Ling Feng’s influence, she already considered herself part of Huaxia.
Ling Feng laughed, "The gambling stone convention is still on tomorrow. I believe the truth will eventually come out, and when it does, we’ll surely settle the score properly!"
After finishing his words, he grabbed Feng Ling’s hand: "Come on, let’s see if there’s any special moment today, then we’ll make another profit!"
"Earning money can be addictive, let’s go!"
Feng Ling chuckled softly, quickly catching up with him.
As the two wandered around the venue, they also noticed several unusual gazes fixed on them, not only from Li Huai and Sato but also from Sun Shaofeng’s men.
Beyond that, there were also stares from several strangers. Without thinking, Ling Feng knew these were people from other forces.
Clearly, these people had recognized Ling Feng’s abilities and had marked him as their primary target. Should Ling Feng spot any special stones, it was very likely they would all rush in at once.
To confirm his guess, Ling Feng chuckled inwardly, then set his sight on a massive boulder, his eyes widening!
After showing an expression of shock, he pulled Feng Ling and rushed over toward that direction!
As a result, a crowd also rushed from all directions towards the same spot!
"Eh, seems like I looked wrong!"
Upon reaching closer, Ling Feng paused, muttering to himself.
The crowd: "..."
They then realized they had been played!
So, everyone’s gaze towards Ling Feng turned somewhat hostile, and there were even people muttering something under their breath.
Ling Feng guessed it might be some sort of insult, but since he couldn’t understand, he simply ignored it.
Among the crowd, the only one casting an approving glance towards him was Li Huai.
He realized that Ling Feng was messing with people, but he wasn’t angry at all because he believed that Ling Feng’s actions were helping him!
