Chapter 968: Escape
Ling Feng did not bother to hide his identity and said with a smile: "I belong to the Security Bureau, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel!"
"Security Bureau?"
Kong Lin’s eyes flashed with surprise, followed by a puzzled question: "This is the Military Research Institute, what are you doing here?"
"Conducting an investigation!"
After saying this, Ling Feng stepped forward and grabbed his wrist: "Are you Kong Lin?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Kong Lin asked.
Before he could answer, Ling Feng had already gleaned information from his mind.
It seems that his ability was only ineffective against Kong Fan; it still works on others!
With a silent chuckle in his heart, Ling Feng stared into Kong Lin’s eyes: "You have a brother named Kong Sheng, right?"
"Whoosh!"
The image of Kong Sheng flashed through Kong Lin’s mind!
Yet Kong Lin was all confusion, "Kong Sheng? I don’t know this person."
"Ha ha, stop pretending, I’ve seen what Kong Sheng looks like in your mind, and now you still dare to deny it?"
Ling Feng was in high spirits, confident in his intelligence; these two were definitely relatives of Kong Sheng, and they most certainly had issues!
Kong Lin was shocked and struggled to withdraw his wrist, but he couldn’t break free!
So he had no choice but to shout loudly: "Help, someone, help!"
His cries were like those of a slaughtered pig, annoying Ling Feng!
In his eyes, having confirmed this man’s guilt, such behavior meant the guy was just feigning urgency, trying to bluff his way out!
So, with a frown, Ling Feng reached out and pressed a point on Kong Lin’s body, trying to stop his shouting.
But unexpectedly, the touch had no effect, only causing Kong Lin to pause!
Yet the shouting did not stop!
Ling Feng was also stunned, about to continue his action, when several people suddenly burst in from outside!
These people were all in plain clothes, of varying ages, almost all wearing glasses, and they entered, shouting, "What’s going on, let go!"
Wu Hua followed them in and hurriedly explained: "Everyone, don’t misunderstand, Lieutenant Colonel Ling is from the Security Bureau, he’s here for an investigation!"
"Investigation? What’s there to investigate?" someone asked.
Wu Hua didn’t know what to say and looked helplessly at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng ignored them, smiled, and said to everyone: "Don’t get agitated, the matter I’m investigating involves national secrets, and I can’t disclose them to you!"
"Old Kong and Xiao Kong both are our colleagues here at the Institute; what gives you the right to investigate them?" another person demanded.
Ling Feng’s brows knitted: "What are you implying? Are you questioning me now? As employees of a classified unit, some things I should not have to explain, right?"
The stern questioning silenced those who had spoken up!
They knew that no matter how justified they felt, they could not interfere with the Security Bureau’s operations due to collegial sentiment!
Seeing the others quiet down, Ling Feng glanced at Kong Fan and Kong Lin: "You two, come with me!"
"Where to?"
Kong Lin asked with a scared look in his eyes, sounding frightened.
"Security Bureau!"
Ling Feng declared, then loudly added: "I suspect you have connections with foreign forces, and I need to investigate your activities and background. Any objections?"
"Yes!"
The moment Ling Feng’s words fell, Kong Fan, who had been silent as if lost in thought, suddenly spoke up!
Facing Ling Feng, he spoke loudly: "We are part of the Institute, if there’s an investigation to be conducted, it should be our own. What does it have to do with the Security Bureau? If the secrets we know are leaked, can you bear that responsibility?"
"Of course I can!"
Ling Feng sneered, then turned to look at Wu Hua: "Wouldn’t you agree, Major Wu?"
"Yes!"
Wu Hua nodded, addressing the several engineers that had rushed in: "The airplanes you are currently working on dismantling were all brought back by Mr. Ling himself!"
"Ah?"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback!
They now understood the weight behind Ling Feng’s identity!
He indeed was a national hero who could bear such responsibilities.
Thus, no one spoke further, and some even quietly urged Kong Fan: "He’s an important figure; it’d be best to cooperate with him a bit!"
"Let’s go then, it’s been months since we went out, might as well treat it like a chance to relax a bit!" someone said.
Ling Feng frowned upon hearing this, then turned to look at Wu Hua: "Have they gone out before?"
"Yes, after completing a phase of work, everyone gets a short break to go out and buy some personal items in town!" Wu Hua explained.
"Understood!"
Ling Feng nodded, keeping his thoughts to himself.
He speculated that if this was the case, the father and son must have had the opportunity to pass on messages to the outside world!
But the current dilemma was that he could not unlock the block in Kong Fan’s mind, which meant he could not discover the secrets hidden there!
So, they had to be taken back for repeated attempts, whether it was him or Kong Lin, it was imperative to find traces of their connection to Kong Sheng!
Thinking this, Ling Feng smiled and looked at Kong Fan and Kong Lin: "Have you two made up your minds? Shall we go?"
"Let’s go, who’s scared?" Kong Lin said angrily.
With that, he was the first to walk out of the room.
The others followed suit, and eventually, Kong Fan also left.
Once the room was empty, Ling Feng turned to Wu Hua: "Later, arrange for someone to seal off this room and Kong Lin’s room. No one is allowed in, only the Security Bureau personnel can open it!"
"Understood!" Wu Hua nodded.
Just as they spoke, a sudden exclamation came from outside!
Ling Feng uttered an "Oh no" and rushed out immediately!
Once outside, he too was startled by the scene in front of him!
Kong Fan was being lifted into the air by a towering black figure!
Upon closer inspection, the black entity turned out to be a western Giant Dragon!
Its massive wings beat in the air, sending gusts of wind that whipped up the dust from the ground into a swirling maelstrom!
"Kong Lin, Kong Lin has turned into a dragon!" someone exclaimed.
Instantly, Ling Feng understood—the father and son, seeing that they were about to be taken by the Security Bureau, likely knew that nothing good would await them, so they were now attempting to flee!
After gritting his teeth, Ling Feng found he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the black silhouette ascended into the sky, ready to fly away!
But then, from the corner of their eyes, a streak of golden light suddenly flashed, followed by a dragon’s roar echoing through the sky!
By the time everyone turned to look, they were all stunned!
A Divine Dragon!
A golden dragon, tens of meters long, soared into the sky, instantly reaching the Black Dragon’s side, then opened its mouth and unleashed a bolt of lightning!
Before the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the Giant Black Dragon was hit, instantly turning into a puff of black smoke, and was no more!
