Chapter 866 Testing
Chapter 866 Testing
A few minutes later, An Bo walked out from the room inside.
"Mr. Ling, I have a rather presumptuous request."
Approaching Ling Feng, An Bo said with an apologetic smile.
"You’re too polite, An Bo. Just tell me what it is!" Ling Feng nodded.
"This Yuan Force Gemstone, could you please keep it safe for me until you claim your first place reward at the Bet Stone Contest, then take it out at the Royal Palace?" An Bo asked.
Ling Feng was startled and thought to himself that he hadn’t planned on going in the first place. Now it seemed he had no choice but to go.
Seeing the earnest look in An Bo’s eyes, Ling Feng could only nod: "Well, considering that someone might still be after it, I’ll keep it safe for the time being!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and tucked the gemstone back into his bracelet.
"When can we go to the Imperial Palace?"
Li Fei’er, who was most eager about meeting the Princess, asked at this moment.
"Very soon, we should be able to by tomorrow at the latest!" An Bo replied.
"Great!" Li Fei’er clapped her hands in excitement and then asked, "But it won’t just be my uncle going, right? Can I go, too?"
"Of course, Miss Li. The Princess has specifically instructed that you must be present!" An Bo said with a nod and a smile.
Li Fei’er was quite surprised: "Ah? The Princess knows me?"
"Yes!"
An Bo smiled but didn’t explain how.
Ling Feng had already guessed what was happening. He glanced at the door of the adjacent room, stood up, and said, "Since there’s nothing else, we’ll head back first!"
"Alright, Mr. Ling, please wait for my call," An Bo nodded.
"I’ll be heading back, too. Let’s catch up another time!" Du Hao said to Song Tuo.
The group left and headed straight for the parking lot.
Ling Feng activated his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings, but didn’t detect any suspicious individuals.
Afterward, they drove back to the hotel. Du Hao took Ling Feng directly to his room.
After sitting down, Du Hao said, "The Princess of Mianluo Country really loves jewelry. That emerald you auctioned off for eight hundred million was bought by her."
"No wonder then, she has the money!" Ling Feng laughed.
"So, getting that Yuan Force Gemstone might be challenging!" Du Hao said.
"It’s okay, there’s still time. I’ll teleport back first. Even if I can’t get my hands on it, it’s worth checking to see what’s going on with it," Ling Feng said.
Du Hao nodded: "Alright, we still have to wait to go to the Black Sea; the plane isn’t ready yet. You go back first, and then meet the Princess tomorrow."
"Not a problem. Uncle, will you be coming as well?" Ling Feng stood up and asked.
Du Hao shook his head: "I won’t be attending. I need to deal with the plane arrangements. Just take Jiali with you. Lin Xue also mentioned to her that when there’s a chance, she would take her to see your Endless Sea."
"Sounds good."
Ling Feng looked back at Du Jiali: "It’s getting late; let’s hurry."
"Okay!"
Du Jiali nodded and left with Ling Feng, heading to Feng Ling’s room where the Teleportation Array was set up.
Before returning, Ling Feng made a call to Zhang He to ask if he wanted to come along.
Zhang He answered breathlessly, "You go ahead, I’m tied up with something here!"
Ling Feng was taken aback: "What are you doing? You better not be up to no good. Be careful, or I’ll tell your wife!"
"Nonsense!"
Zhang He lowered his voice, "I’m chasing Sato and Li Huai, we can’t let these two guys go!"
"Oh? Need my help?" Ling Feng perked up as soon as he heard this!
"No need, your girl Qian Qian and the others are there, don’t worry!"
Zhang He said this and then immediately hung up the phone.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng stopped worrying, and hence he left Feng Ling in charge and took Du Jiali and Li Fei’er with him as they left.
After returning to the Nine Heavens, he didn’t stop for a moment and headed straight home.
Once outside, he saw that the construction of Shiliu Village was progressing rapidly, the apartment buildings had been built, and now they were working on the external decorations.
He estimated that in less than half a month, the brand-new Shiliu Village would be presented to the world, and by then the villagers from the surrounding villages would surely envy the people of his village.
Ling Feng’s car was still being repaired at the security bureau, so he had no choice but to ride in Lin Xue’s car. The two of them left the village and headed straight to Longyuan.
On the way, Ling Feng finally made a call and briefly mentioned the matter with the Yuan gemstone.
Chen Ping was caught off guard and grumbled a few words before hastily arranging for people to handle it.
Upon reaching Longyuan and entering the basement, he saw that the testing equipment was ready.
"Didn’t Director Han plan to see it for himself?" Ling Feng asked.
Chen Ping shook his head, "He heard it’s something from the Royal family of Mianluo Country, and he’s lost interest in this stone!"
"Oh, so that means it’s not a big deal if we don’t get it in our hands?" Ling Feng asked.
"Let’s see. If it’s valuable, it’s still better to have it in our hands!" Chen Ping replied.
"Understood!"
Ling Feng nodded, watching as the staff placed the stone on the workbench and switched on the scanner.
An hour later, a report was out, detailing the composition of the stone, the characteristics of the energy contained within, and other parameters.
Looking at the data, Ling Feng clicked his tongue, "This really is a treasure; it’s a pity to merely use it as a plaything for the princess!"
The Yuan gemstone contained Spiritual Energy, and its density was potent enough to rival a thousand times that of the highest quality Spirit Stone of the largest size he had.
Absorbing it all could potentially allow one to ascend to heaven on earth!
Yet for Ling Feng, it might only help increase his strength by a few percentage points.
Even so, Ling Feng still felt that it was a treasure and was somewhat reluctant to return it to the Princess of Mianluo Country.
After reading the report, he looked up at Chen Ping, "Boss, can we think of a way to get this thing?"
"Sure, you can make them an offer and see if they want to sell it!" Chen Ping said.
Ling Feng, at a loss for words, shook his head, "Well, forget it then. I reckon even if I offer a hundred billion, they wouldn’t sell it!"
"Then there’s nothing we can do. We, the security bureau, can’t interfere with diplomatic affairs; I’m really powerless here," said Chen Ping, patting his shoulder with a smile.
"Alright, then I’m off!"
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and was ready to leave.
But Chen Ping called out to him, "I heard that the ones who attacked you last time have been eliminated?"
"Yes, it was the people from the Holy Light Society, but they were hired by someone!" Ling Feng nodded.
"And then? You’re just going to let it go?" Chen Ping asked.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Of course not. I’m going to make those employers pay dearly in a few days!"
"I meant, what do you plan to do about the Holy Light Society?" Chen Ping asked.
"Well, their stronghold is in America, and I don’t have time to go. Naturally, it would be best to eliminate that organization if I could!" Ling Feng said.
Chen Ping laughed, "That’s almost impossible. But even though you can’t go to America, I could tell you about a place where if you hit them hard once, it would be enough to give the Holy Light Society a headache!"
