Chapter 966 Questioning
Chapter 966 Questioning
After pondering for a moment, Wu Hua still said, "Apologies, Mr. Ling, although your military rank is higher than mine, the matter is of great importance and I have to be cautious!"
Ling Feng nodded, "I can understand your job, but please also understand mine. I am a staff member of the Security Bureau, and naturally, I have my reasons for my actions. If something happens because of my actions, I will take responsibility!"
"..."
Wu Hua was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Alright then! Please follow me!"
The group of people walked forward and soon arrived at the gate at the foot of the mountain. Wu Hua used his credentials to activate the switch, and the iron gate slowly opened to both sides.
Then, a vast space within the mountain appeared before Ling Feng.
It was more spacious than he had imagined!
Seeing several aircraft parked on the open ground, Ling Feng’s eyes lit up!
He laughed.
"What’s the matter, Mr. Ling?" Wu Hua asked, puzzled by his reaction.
"Nothing, it’s no wonder your place is so secretive; it’s because of this!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Hm?"
Wu Hua still didn’t understand, his eyes full of confusion.
Ling Feng chuckled, "I won’t hide it from you, I brought back these aircraft!"
"Ah?"
Wu Hua’s eyes widened, "It was you?"
"Yes, didn’t your superiors tell you when you received these aircraft?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"No, this kind of thing is strictly confidential. I guess not even our boss knows about the origin of the aircraft!"
Wu Hua explained and then curiously asked, "Although I shouldn’t ask, I am still very curious. How did Mr. Ling manage to get these most advanced fighter jets?"
"I can demonstrate for you!"
Ling Feng smiled and walked towards the aircraft.
Lin Xue and the others knew what he was about to do, so they stood still, but Wu Hua hurriedly followed, not knowing what Ling Feng was up to.
There were many staff members around the aircraft, conducting comprehensive research on them, and once they mastered the technology onboard, Huaxia could also produce such advanced aircraft.
Seeing Ling Feng approaching, the technicians stopped their work and curiously watched him.
Ling Feng turned to Wu Hua, "Have everyone leave the aircraft first, otherwise there might be an accident!"
"Okay!"
Wu Hua nodded, instructed the people inside the aircraft to come out first, and then continue afterward.
Once the area was cleared, Ling Feng touched the aircraft and then, to everyone’s surprise, the huge military aircraft instantly vanished!
"Holy shit!"
Wu Hua couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, staring at Ling Feng with a mix of amazement and caution.
"Don’t be nervous; it’s just a demonstration!" Ling Feng said with a smile, then brought the aircraft back out and placed it in its original position.
He then looked at Wu Hua, "Now you know how I brought them back, right?"
"You, you, how did you do that?" Wu Hua asked, incredulous but relieved.
"Well, that’s not easy to explain; let’s just say I have a special ability!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Alright."
Wu Hua knew this was a matter of secrecy, so he didn’t ask any more questions, but just nodded, "Now I understand. No wonder Mr. Ling has achieved a higher military rank at such a young age, and indeed has extraordinary capabilities!"
"Haha, now you must be assured of my motives, right? To put it plainly, we are all on the same side. There’s no need to be so overly cautious!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Wu Hua’s face turned red, "Yes, I thought too much earlier."
After showing off his ability and seeing the sincere expression on the other person’s face, Ling Feng smiled, patted Wu Hua on the shoulder and said, "Let’s go to the research institute’s office first. We’ll start with the engineers!"
"Okay, I’ll accompany you!"
Wu Hua nodded and led Ling Feng to a row of rooms not far away.
This was a three-story building built against the mountainside, and constructing floors inside the mountain belly showed how enormous the space was.
The group went up to the second floor and entered a large office, where Wu Hua took a notebook from a staff member and handed it to Ling Feng, saying, "Here is a list of the research personnel. Mr. Ling can start at any time!"
"Everyone is present?"
Ling Feng flipped open the cover and carefully scanned a few pages.
"Yes, if they’re not working, they’re resting in the dormitories. Our researchers are prohibited from going out!" Wu Hua nodded.
"Hmm."
Ling Feng, looking at the list, quickly found the names Kong Fan and Kong Lin.
He then casually pointed to Kong Fan’s name, "Let’s start a random check with him!"
"Him?"
Wu Hua was taken aback, his eyes widening, "He’s the chief engineer here!"
"Oh, is that so? Can’t a chief engineer be infiltrated?" Ling Feng inquired.
"This..."
Wu Hua gave a wry smile, "Engineer Kong has been working for thirty years, there is definitely no need to doubt his loyalty."
Hearing this, Ling Feng frowned, pulled over a chair and sat down, then told Wu Hua, "Please have a seat, Major Wu!"
"Oh."
Wu Hua didn’t know what he was going to say and quickly sat down.
"Let me put it this way, my visit this time is actually not about the infiltration of the Heretical Cult in the town!"
Ling Feng looked into Wu Hua’s eyes, serious, "In fact, the matter I’m investigating is even more severe!"
"I have a premonition, you came yesterday, using special methods to try to sneak in but didn’t succeed, and today you’ve come in a different way!" Wu Hua said.
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, knowing that the other party would be suspicious, so he explained, "That’s right, actually, I just wanted to find the Kong father and son duo only!"
"Why?" Wu Hua asked, astonished.
"Because of your reaction just now, we dared not to alarm them, so we found two excuses to come in!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "You don’t doubt their loyalty, but we suspect that this father and son duo might have connections with certain people abroad!"
He paused, then seeing Wu Hua’s disbelief, Ling Feng continued, "Because there is a man named Kong Sheng, who is related to them!"
"Kong Sheng? Who is that?" Wu Hua inquired.
"A traitor! And my arch-nemesis!" Ling Feng stated.
"..."
Wu Hua was a bit bewildered, "Lieutenant Colonel Ling, are you sure they are related by blood?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Absolutely certain!"
He knew saying this might hurt Wu Hua’s pride since their vetting process was also very strenuous, and such a statement was like a slap in their faces. After all, it suggested a failure on the research institute’s end, for not detecting that the Kongs had a relative abroad!
But there was no choice, to uncover the truth, this had to be said!
After listening to Ling Feng, Wu Hua lifted his head, "I’m sorry Mr. Ling, what you’re talking about is beyond my authority now. I have to report to my superiors!"
