The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 870 Hostage

Having heard Ling Feng’s words, Zhou Yi shook his head, "Alright then, let’s do as you said. I’m heading back now!"

"Hm? Where are you going?" Ling Feng asked.

"Back to Shiliu Village. There’s nothing left for me to do here!" Zhou Yi said, then turned and walked away.

The room suddenly became quiet, and Ling Feng was at a loss for words.

Just a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Joanna walked in with a beaming smile.

Upon seeing her, Ling Feng was initially taken aback, then asked, "What? Is it your turn tonight?"

"Yep, aren’t you happy to see me?" Joanna asked.

"Who said I’m not? It feels like it’s been a long time since we’ve been together."

Ling Feng chuckled and stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist.

....

....

As a new day dawned, Ling Feng was still deep in slumber in his comfortable bed when someone knocked on his door.

Before he could even get up, Xun Qianqian burst into the room.

Ling Feng looked at her, "What’s the matter?"

"Sato wants to see you!" Xun Qianqian said.

"Oh? Has the guy come to his senses?" Ling Feng asked as he sat up.

"Seems like it. His eyes are bloodshot. I heard from the Black Dragon Sect that he didn’t sleep all night, just pacing back and forth in the living room without stopping!" Xun Qianqian explained.

Ling Feng smirked, "That’s exactly the effect I wanted. He knows his life is in my hands and has no confidence whether he will live or die!"

He got out of bed, noticed Joanna was gone, and asked in confusion, "Where’s Anna?"

"She teleported back," Xun Qianqian answered.

"Ah?"

Ling Feng was stunned, "Why did she leave already?"

"After practicing the cultivation technique with you, it was time for her to continue her training. Lanlan already left earlier!" said Xun Qianqian.

"Uh..."

Ling Feng felt speechless and gave Xun Qianqian a wry smile, "Turns out I’m now just a sparring partner for the three of you?"

"What else?"

Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes, "Tonight, it’s my turn, and you better not run away!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t run!"

Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, quickly washed up, and then went to the room next door.

Sato indeed had bloodshot eyes and looked haggard and terribly out of sorts.

After sitting down, Ling Feng looked at him, "I’ll be going to see the Princess at the Royal Palace soon, so you don’t have much time!"

"..."

Sato was silent for a bit, then said, "What do you want for you to let me go?"

"It depends on your sincerity!" Ling Feng replied indifferently.

"I can give you fifty billion Huaxia Currency. Is that enough?" Sato asked through clenched teeth.

Ling Feng looked at him, "Do you think I’m a fool? You brought a hundred billion this time, and although you’ve already paid me fifteen billion, there should still be eighty-five billion left, right?"

"You, you can’t possibly want it all?" Sato’s eyes widened in shock.

"When has anyone ever complained about having too much money?" Ling Feng asked with a cold laugh.

Sato pondered for a moment, squinting his eyes, "If I give you the remaining eighty-five billion, will you let me go?"

"I never said that!"

Ling Feng smiled, "I said it depends on your sincerity. You know what it means to let you go. Money is important, sure, but I don’t want to leave myself with a hidden trouble!"

"Then what do you want?"

Sato was getting agitated, failing to understand what Ling Feng was really after.

"It seems you are truly exhausted!"

Ling Feng smiled, "In that case, let me point out a clear path for you!"

He paused for a moment, seeing a glimmer of hope in Sato’s eyes, and continued, "You need to provide me with a method to control you, so that I can rest assured that after you go back, you won’t plan revenge against me!"

"This..."

Sato, of course, understood what Ling Feng meant. A verbal promise not to seek revenge wouldn’t be believed at all!

But if he provided a means to control himself, that would be like putting a tight spell on himself, and being under Ling Feng’s influence from then on was even more fatal!

So after a moment of silence, Sato shook his head, "Sorry, I really can’t think of anything that I can give you. I can’t meet this demand!"

"Alright then!"

Ling Feng nodded his head and stood up, "Since that’s the case, I can only give up on you!"

After saying that, he turned to leave. The four revered members of the Black Dragon Sect immediately pounced like wolves and tigers!

Sato was startled and hurriedly called out, "Wait a moment!"

Ling Feng stopped and turned back to look at him, "What now?"

"I, I can give you a hostage," Sato blurted out.

"What?"

This time it was Ling Feng who was befuddled.

Offering a fatal weakness or something like that was acceptable, but a hostage? What did that mean?

"I can hand over my daughter to you, so that you can be assured, once I go back, I definitely won’t scheme against you," Sato suggested.

"...."

Ling Feng was still speechless.

He even thought that Sato was bluffing him, and that the so-called daughter was definitely not his biological child!

If she really was Sato’s biological daughter, that could only mean this man had gone mad!

So Ling Feng shook his head, "I don’t believe it. How can you prove she is your daughter? You’re clearly trying to deceive me!"

"No, I’m not. Her name is Sato Saori, and I can provide all the proof necessary to show she’s my daughter," Sato hastily responded.

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng pondered for a while, "If that’s the case, then show me the proof!"

"Yes, yes!"

When Sato heard that there was a chance, he quickly turned his head, only to realize that his cell phone was not with him – it had been taken away!

"This...."

Sato showed a troubled expression, "The proof documents are all in my phone."

"Give it to him!"

Ling Feng instructed a member of the Black Dragon Sect.

With his phone returned, Sato didn’t dare to play any tricks and quickly pulled out a folder and handed it over to Ling Feng.

"This folder contains all my daughter’s information, from birth certificate to identity documents, everything is there!" Sato declared.

Because most of it was in Japanese, Ling Feng didn’t understand much of it. The girl looked gentle and quiet, with a faint resemblance to Sato, yet she had absorbed the nice aspects of his looks and did not inherit his small eyes and teeth like sesame seeds.

Flipping to the end, he found a photo of the girl in front of Qingbei University’s gate in Huaxia, and Ling Feng was shocked, "Your daughter is in Huaxia?"

"Yes, so now you can immediately arrange for someone to find her. You’ll definitely be able to," Sato nodded.

"Taking away your daughter as a hostage, aren’t you afraid I might do something to her?" Ling Feng asked.

"This..."

Sato managed a slight smile, "I trust in Mr. Ling’s character. You definitely won’t do such things!"

Ling Feng chuckled, thinking how obvious Sato’s flattery was; did he think it wasn’t apparent?

He didn’t say much more, just nodded, "Fine then. Your sincerity is enough for me. Now transfer the remaining funds to me, and you can leave!"

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ling!"

Hearing this, Sato was so overjoyed he forgot everything else, expressing gratitude as if he had met his life-saving benefactor!
