Chapter 854 Assigning Tasks
Chapter 854 Assigning Tasks
Ling Feng was at a loss but managed a bitter smile on the surface, yet his heart still felt warm.
Everyone was acting in his best interest, and he was very clear about that.
So, since everyone had come, he didn’t say much and nodded his head, "Well, since you’re all here, you might as well help me strategize and think about what to do next!"
The group sat down, and Ling Feng analyzed the current situation for them.
There were several mission targets at present, one was to find that mysterious stone and snatch it to their side at all costs, and another was to locate the leader of the Holy Light Society to see if there was a chance to capture them.
Moreover, both Sun Shaofeng and Li Huai were targets to be dealt with, but that wasn’t urgent and could wait until after the stone gambling event was over.
As for the Russians, Ling Feng still decided to take a trip to the Black Sea; if they truly wanted to target him, he could investigate during the purchase of the warships.
After the situation was analyzed, Zhou Yi spoke up, "We’ve understood the situation, now I’ll arrange everyone’s tasks. Ling Feng, there might be a big battle tomorrow, you have to keep watch at the stone gambling event!"
"Okay, I’ll bring Li Fei’er with me, and if we’re under attack, I’ll let Wang Cai and the others get some exercise!" Ling Feng nodded.
Zhou Yi grunted and turned to Xun Qianqian and Miao Lanlan, saying, "You three have fresh faces, responsible for keeping an eye on Sun Shaofeng; no matter what background this kid has in the country, collaborating with hostile forces abroad is something we absolutely cannot tolerate lightly!"
"Sure!"
Xun Qianqian nodded and then asked, "What about you?"
"I’m going after the Holy Light Society!" Zhou Yi said.
"By yourself?"
The group was stunned and asked in unison.
"That’s right, don’t worry, I have my ways!" Zhou Yi squinted and said.
Ling Feng was still somewhat worried, "But the first and second-ranked individuals on the leaderboard might both be from the Holy Light Society; if they’re here, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle them alone!"
"No problem, even if the two of them appear together, I can take them down and let them know who really holds the top rank!" Zhou Yi said with a cold laugh.
Seeing her confidence, Ling Feng became less worried, and he nodded, "Alright, since that’s the case, let’s act according to Zhou Yi’s plan!"
Time passed by, and Zhang He, who had been keeping watch at the stone gambling event, didn’t send back any new information; however, Li Huai called Ling Feng to ask him why he hadn’t shown up.
Ling Feng laughed and brushed him off with a casual excuse.
Then, he seized the moment to inquire about Sun Shaofeng, but Li Huai hemmed and hawed as if he knew something, but did not seem to be at liberty to disclose it.
Seeing this, Ling Feng hung up the phone directly.
He had shown his stance clearly with this gesture; the rest was up to Li Huai to figure out.
As expected, Li Huai called him again in the evening.
"Brother, I’ve got some leads on the matter you asked me to handle!" Li Huai said.
"Go on,"
Ling Feng said coldly, not even attempting any pleasantries as the 1.5 billion had already been transferred.
"Hehe, here’s the thing, I’ve discovered through some means that Sun Shaofeng is in contact with some Westerners. They are very cautious and didn’t meet in the city area but chose to do so in the outskirts," Li Huai said.
Ling Feng responded with an "Oh," recalling how ostentatiously Sun Shaofeng had driven to the outskirts last night, apparently to meet with some people!
No wonder the guy was so careful; it looked like he was afraid of being discovered!
"It looks like Brother Li is the capable one, managing to investigate so thoroughly!" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh.
Li Huai chuckled, "I do have some connections, getting this kind of information isn’t that difficult!"
"Is that so? Then do you know who he has been in contact with?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
"This..."
Li Huai hesitated for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately asked in a cold voice, "What’s the matter? Big Brother Li doesn’t trust me?"
"Of course not, it’s just that I was planning to tell you later. Sun Shaofeng is very likely to meet those people again tonight to discuss tomorrow’s actions, so I wanted to get some accurate information before sharing it with you!" Li Huai quickly explained.
"No need, just tell me the location, I’ll check it out myself!" Ling Feng said.
He didn’t trust Li Huai at all. The guy was hemming and hawing— who knew what little schemes he had in mind?
Hearing this, Li Huai could only sigh, "Alright then, but brother, I must warn you, the other party is not to be underestimated. If you are going to get evidence yourself, you must be careful!"
Ling Feng scoffed, "Don’t worry, I won’t die, and I won’t delay tomorrow’s important matters!"
Li Huai gave a forced laugh, "That’s good, that’s good!"
Afterward, he gave Ling Feng an address, and they hung up the phone.
The address was located in a wasteland on the southern outskirts of Guo City, a place that Feng Ling also wasn’t very familiar with. It was only after consulting an elder of the Black Dragon Sect that he learned the exact location of the place.
It was an abandoned farm with a large area, now only a few dilapidated buildings remained, and it had been a long time since anyone had visited.
The desolate location was conducive for some people to hide their tracks, and after figuring out the position, Ling Feng grew a bit impatient to head out.
Since Zhou Yi and Xun Qianqian and others had already gone to act on their respective targets, no one stopped Ling Feng, so he decided to take Feng Ling and Li Fei’er downstairs and then drove away from the hotel.
No sooner had the car driven far when Feng Ling said alertly, "Someone is following us!"
"It would be strange if they weren’t!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "I’m now the most watched person in Guo City, a lot of people care about what I’m doing!"
"That’s true. If they can’t win you over, keeping an eye on you is always an option. Maybe those following us are Sun Shaofeng’s men!" Feng Ling said.
Upon hearing this, Li Fei’er immediately turned her head and asked, "Then uncle, what do we do?"
"No need to worry, let’s first take them for a ride!"
Ling Feng smiled and drove straight to the west.
The area of Guo City was not large; it was only about ten kilometers from east to west, so it didn’t take long for the car to reach the suburbs.
In Southeast Asia, the climate is a tropical rainforest, so the outskirts are filled with dense jungles, lush with leaves, where just a few trees can completely block one’s line of sight.
Ling Feng took a turn with the car and immediately stopped on the side of the road.
After waiting for a minute, the following car rushed past them!
However, seeing Ling Feng standing by the car, looking at them with a half-smile, the person tracking him was taken aback.
For a moment he didn’t know what to do, so he continued driving forward, pretending to just pass by.
Of course, Ling Feng wouldn’t let him leave. As the car approached, he leapt into the air, and then landed on top of the car’s hood!
With a loud crash, the car’s engine stalled and completely lost power.
