Chapter 908: Motive
Chapter 908: Motive
Ling Feng looked at Zhang He, "Are you sure you’re okay?"
"Stop nagging, it’s just a superficial wound!" Zhang He glanced at him with a hint of irritation.
"If that’s what you’re saying, then I really have to give you a checkup!"
Having said that, Ling Feng immediately grabbed his hand.
Zhang He tried to break free by force, but unfortunately for him, his strength was no match for Ling Feng’s and he couldn’t get away.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng had already examined all the meridians in his body.
With the help of Divine Sense, the examination was much more thorough than any medical checkups he had performed in the past!
After a moment, Ling Feng released his hand, "Indeed, it’s nothing serious, but you do need to nourish your kidneys, have you been in a rush to have kids lately?"
Zheng Yitong couldn’t hold back and let out a giggle at his words.
The tense atmosphere eased considerably.
Zhang He’s face flushed red, and he glared at Ling Feng, "It’s enough for me to know, do you have to say it in front of everyone?"
Ling Feng chuckled, "What’s the big deal? Sex is very normal!"
"Damn it, I’m not even married yet!" Zhang He blurted out in anger.
"Oh, right, that’s your fault then, how could you get on the bus before buying a ticket?" Ling Feng said with a mischievous grin.
Seeing the looks from his aunt and cousin, Zhang He got flustered, "Get away from me!"
"Alright, no more fooling around, let’s talk about serious matters!"
Ling Feng chuckled again and sat down, speaking earnestly, "I suspect that the Shadow Group is behind the attack, but Miss Zheng doesn’t know their intent. Do you have any thoughts now?"
Zhang He nodded, "I do!"
He looked at Ling Feng, "Do you know why I asked you to be my bodyguard tonight?"
"Get to the point!" Ling Feng rolled his eyes.
Zhang He smiled, "After I arrived, the Harbor Island Security Bureau shared some information—aside from the Shadow Group, nearly ten other powers have also infiltrated the island!"
"What? They all know that I’m targeting the Holy Light Society?" Ling Feng asked in astonishment.
As a result, Zhang He rolled his eyes, "Brother, you think too highly of yourself. They didn’t come for you!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then realized that his decision to come to Harbor Island had been spontaneous. How could anyone have known in advance?
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he asked with a smile, "Then what are these people here for? Don’t tell me a Yuan gemstone has appeared on Harbor Island?"
Zhang He shook his head, "That’s not it; almost no one here gambles on stones, and there’s been no word of a second Yuan gemstone. However, their motives are still unclear; we’re investigating."
"What a pity!"
Ling Feng regretted deeply upon hearing this. If he had known, he wouldn’t have killed those people in the garage; it would have been better to keep them and pry some information out of at least one of them.
"Don’t worry, the Shadow Group setting sights on my cousin has revealed a slight trace. Let’s investigate thoroughly tonight, I’m sure we’ll find some clues!" Zhang He said.
"Good, we’re not sleeping tonight until we get to the bottom of this!"
Ling Feng nodded, "After all, Harbor Island is still our Huaxia’s territory; we can’t let those foreigners take anything good from here!"
"Exactly, that’s the right mindset!" Zhang He said with a laugh.
Ling Feng looked at him, "So, what do we do now?"
"First, let Tongtong change clothes, then continue with the award ceremony," Zhang He stated, then stood up and walked outside.
Ling Feng followed him, knowing it wouldn’t be proper to stay while the girl was changing her clothes.
Once outside, the door to the rest room closed, Ling Feng asked Zhang He, "Are you really clueless, or is it just inconvenient to speak frankly in front of your aunt and cousin?"
Zhang He looked at him, "You’re getting smarter, kid!"
"Cut it out, I’ve always been smart, ever since I was little, so spill it, what’s actually going on?" Ling Feng asked.
"Preliminary judgment, these guys are here for a meeting!" Zhang He said.
"....."
Ling Feng was utterly confused, "Why would they kidnap someone for a meeting?"
"Just like you previously suspected something fishy about President Chen, I think they might be coveting my cousin’s beauty," Zhang He said.
If it were somebody else, Ling Feng would have definitely thought that Zhang He was spouting nonsense!
But since the person who almost got kidnapped was Zheng Yi Tong, Ling Feng didn’t find it surprising at all. On the contrary, he felt that this was the only reason that made sense!
Adding to the sleazy image of Dongying people, he nodded immediately: "It must be exactly that!"
A beauty, who is also a celebrity—the one directing these people to kidnap Zheng Yi Tong must definitely be a seasoned lecher!
Zhang He nodded: "I can’t add psychological stress to Tongtong, so I can’t tell her about this. Let’s wait until the award ceremony is over to discuss it!"
Ling Feng laughed and then asked with some skepticism, "Such a big incident happened backstage, and the award ceremony wasn’t affected at all?"
"What could have affected it? In their eyes, the most important thing is that everything proceeds smoothly, without any shocking news coming out!"
Zhang He’s face showed contempt as he spoke disdainfully, "Luckily, Tongtong is fine. Otherwise, I would never let them off the hook!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than two men, also in black suits, came over: "You two are Miss Zheng’s bodyguards, right?"
"Who are you?" Zhang He asked.
"We are brother Fa’s bodyguards. We’d like to have a chat with you two!" the men in black said.
Zhang He and Ling Feng were both taken aback, then exchanged glances.
Then Zhang He said, "You go. I’ll stay here and keep watch!"
"It’s better for you to go. I feel more reassured guarding here!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Don’t you want the big star’s autograph?" Zhang He asked.
Ling Feng smiled: "Compared to Miss Zheng’s safety, what’s an autograph worth?"
Hearing this, Zhang He was taken aback, then looked deeply at Ling Feng: "All right, I owe you one for this time!"
Having said this, he addressed the two bodyguards: "I’ll go with you then!"
"Please!"
The two men were polite, bowing and gesturing an invitation.
Ling Feng watched as Zhang He left with them, standing firmly by the door of the dressing room, but his Divine Sense had already locked onto him!
That way, even if he didn’t go, he would still know what Zhang He and brother Fa talked about.
...
...
Ten minutes later, Zhang He returned to Ling Feng’s side.
Seeing his cryptic smile and silence, Zhang He couldn’t help but ask Ling Feng, "Why aren’t you the least bit curious?"
"If you wanted to tell me, you would have, if not, what’s the use of me asking?" Ling Feng asked.
"You really can keep your cool!"
Zhang He shook his head, then continued, "Brother Fa found out about the incident backstage, quickly got hold of all the information, and then asked if I needed support. He offered to ask his friends to help!"
"Hmm, good thought, but it’s not necessary. The people he’d find probably wouldn’t have much fighting power," Ling Feng said.
Zhang He nodded: "Exactly, that’s what I thought, so I refused his kindness."
After he finished, he looked at Ling Feng: "But based on his reaction, I have the feeling that today’s troubles aren’t over yet!"
