The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 949 Small Town

Chen Ping sneered: "Not only are they Kong Sheng’s relatives, but they are also participants in the national secret project, often handling confidential documents!"

"Hm?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng’s eyes widened: "Damn, doesn’t that mean they could leak secrets?"

"Rest assured, it’s not that easy for them to leak the information. We have just learned about their identities, it’s not too late to mend, do you understand what I mean?" Chen Ping asked.

"Understood!"

Ling Feng nodded, his expression becoming solemn: "It seems I really do need to make a trip!"

"When you go there, don’t startle the snake. The other party may recognize you, so try to understand from a lateral perspective!" Chen Ping said.

"If that’s the case, why do I specifically have to go?" Ling Feng asked.

Chen Ping smiled: "I know about your performance on the trip to Harbor Island; this task seems tailor-made for you!"

Ling Feng was speechless: "Uh, Zhang He, that guy, has such a loose tongue?"

"It’s not about him being loose-lipped, but rather his job responsibility. You’re lazy to write reports, so naturally, he got the task!" Chen Ping said.

"Well, okay, I do have a way to understand their thoughts without them recognizing me!"

Ling Feng nodded, then said: "I’ll go back and get ready, and then start immediately!"

"Good, the sooner the better!" Chen Ping said.

After making a copy of the materials, Ling Feng and Lin Xue left Longyuan and returned to Shiliu Village.

Ling Feng started studying the Art of Disguise which he had acquired earlier as a last moment’s resort.

The Art of Disguise seems simple, essentially changing a person’s appearance, but in reality, it is not easy.

Drawing eyebrows, attaching a beard, changing the eyelids, these of course aren’t difficult, yet when encountering someone who knows you, you could still be recognized at a glance.

Thus, the real challenge is how to become unrecognizable even to acquaintances.

And even if you manage that, it’s just the beginning.

The advanced level of the Art of Disguise, like the one Ling Feng encountered in Harbor Island, allows one to mimic anyone’s appearance at will; that is the truly incredible facet.

Having read through the entire booklet, Ling Feng realized that reaching this level, without practicing mask-making hundreds of times, was impossible.

Therefore, he had to give up and choose to transform himself into someone no one would recognize.

With nothing else to do, Lin Xue provided tips on makeup techniques, and after some time, they managed decent results.

Seeing the face with thick sideburns in the mirror, Ling Feng couldn’t help but chuckle: "Whether it will work or not, I’d know once I try it in Nine Heavens!"

"Then you should go, I definitely don’t want everyone blaming me, clearly this is a prank!" said Lin Xue.

"You don’t go then, I’ll be right back!"

Even though Lin Xue said that, Ling Feng’s spirits were high, and he immediately teleported to Nine Heavens.

As soon as he reached the First Layer, Li Fei’er looked up, rolled her eyes, and asked: "Uncle, what are you doing? Planning a costume party?"

"Uh, how did you recognize me right away?"

Ling Feng, speechless, asked in astonishment as he came closer.

"Your way of walking is ingrained in my mind; did you think a fake beard would fool me?"

Li Fei’er gave him a glance and then curiously asked: "Uncle, what are you up to anyway?"

"Going out on a mission, trying to switch my face, but it seems to have failed."

Ling Feng let out a bitter laugh and said goodbye before heading home.

"You’re back already?"

In less than a minute, Lin Xue, taken aback, asked upon seeing Ling Feng return.

"I was recognized by Fei’er immediately upon arriving; she knows my walking style!" Ling Feng said helplessly.

"Everyone is too familiar with you; unless you put on a mask and change your height, there’s no way you can fool them!" Lin Xue laughed.

Ling Feng sighed: "Too bad my Mind Soul Art hasn’t reached that level yet; if I could advance further, I’d be able to freely control my bones and muscles, changing my height and weight would be very easy then!"

"Time waits for no one; you better practice the Art of Disguise for now. If not, I’ll go with you on this mission. I’ll handle the approach, and you handle the interrogation!" Lin Xue offered.

Ling Feng shook his head: "Without solid evidence, we can’t just interrogate them, no matter what, they are important figures!"

"That’s okay, they’ve only seen your photos at most; they definitely won’t recognize you as quickly as Fei’er and the others!" Lin Xue reassured.

"You have a point!"

Ling Feng nodded, then said: "Then let’s go, and try to complete the mission before Zhou Yi and the others return!"

"Alright!"

Lin Xue nodded, and the two of them left the house.

Although Hexi Province is the adjacent province, getting there wasn’t very quick; the straight-line distance to their destination was over five hundred kilometers, and even by taking the expressway, it was still over six hundred kilometers.

Racing against time, it took them over five hours before their SUV moved off the expressway.

Then they drove on the provincial road for nearly half an hour before Ling Feng and Lin Xue arrived at a small town.

Though called a ’small town,’ it was actually the size of a county.

Skyscrapers stood at both ends of the street, and the ground floors along the roadside were filled with various shops, showcasing the economic vitality of the place.

Lin Xue conducted some online research and found that there lay a major coal mine adjacent to this town, the convergence of numerous coal miners and transport vehicles had made the local economy particularly thriving.

The people Ling Feng was seeking this time were father and son, Kong Fan and Kong Lin, both employed at a research institute in town.

Although the institute was named as such, it was actually a large-scale military factory with both research and production integrated.

Kong Fan was an engineer at the institute, while Kong Lin was an assistant engineer; although neither held high-ranking positions, their roles were still notably critical.

Ling Feng, tasked with investigating this father and son, was yet unaware of the specifics of the R&D they were involved in, underlining the high level of secrecy.

Since they arrived late at night, the two parked their car at a hotel, then entered the lobby together.

After checking in, Ling Feng and Lin Xue, acting like a couple on a vacation, laughed and went upstairs.

Once in the room, Ling Feng threw himself on the sofa, sighing heavily: "This is the first time I’ve driven for so long; I’m exhausted!"

"Stop it, your condition should not experience fatigue?" Lin Xue rolled her eyes.

"Don’t you feel tired sitting in the car?" Ling Feng replied sarcastically.

Lin Xue, looking down at the tablet in her hand, responded: "Not tired!"

Then looking up, she continued: "Tomorrow morning we can access the institute, but to reach Kong Fan and Kong Lin, it might take a bit of maneuvering!"

"How so?"

Ling Feng sat up and asked.

"They handle major secrets and are not permitted to go out usually, let alone get in touch with strangers!" Lin Xue explained.

"So what do we do? Didn’t the Security Bureau give us a green light?" Ling Feng questioned.
