Wang Laogen shot him a look, "Knowing is good!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Then go on, is his current wife your student, and that’s why you were invited here?"
"Of course not, I ca for tonight’s social event!" said Wang Laogen.
After speaking, he glanced at Ling Feng, "Do you know who Lin Huaqiang is?"
Ling Feng was startled, rembering his Qi Force master’s realm, and hesitated before shaking his head, "Not really clear, just feel that the person is quite special."
"Special is right, you should know he has a nickna, ’King of Demon Capital’!"
"What does that an?" Ling Feng was astonished, his eyes widening.
"The uncrowned king, in Demon Capital, if he trembles his foot, the ground will shake three tis!"
Seeing Wang Laogen speak so gravely, Ling Feng suddenly felt a bit speechless.
So, with a puzzled face, he asked, "That’s strange, such a formidable person, why would he let Lin Hu and Lin Xue beco police officers in our provincial city?"
"Lin Xue didn’t tell you?" Wang Laogen was surprised and asked.
Ling Feng shook his head, "No, mainly because I didn’t ask."
"That was his ex-wife’s arrangent. Before she passed away from an illness years ago, she made Lin Huaqiang send their son and daughter back to their old ho in the province, forbidding them to get involved in his affairs!" explained Wang Laogen.
"I see!" Ling Feng nodded, then continued to ask, "Does tonight’s social event have a purpose? You’re here, so it must be a big deal, right?"
"Let’s talk about that tonight," Wang Laogen said and took a sip of tea, smacking his lips contentedly.
Seeing him playing coy again, Ling Feng imdiately had a face full of annoyance, this man had many good qualities, but his habit of teasing people’s curiosity was really irritating!
In a fit of pique, he just stopped asking.
In response, Wang Laogen just chuckled, seeming to be even happier at Ling Feng’s reaction.
Seeing that it was almost two o’clock, Ling Feng said to Chen Yuhe, "I have to go to a eting at three, so I can’t accompany you."
"No problem, I’ll wait for you to co back," Chen Yuhe nodded.
"Yuhe, don’t sit idle either, pick out a nice dress to go to the social event with Ling Feng tonight!" Wang Laogen said.
"Ah?"
Chen Yuhe was startled, ", will it be appropriate for to go?"
"Why wouldn’t it be? If I’m not mistaken, there should be your na on the invitation!" Wang Laogen laughed.
Ling Feng had not thought about taking Chen Yuhe with him, but hearing this, he quickly took out the invitation from his pocket and opened it. Indeed, it read, "Dear Mr. Ling Feng and Miss Chen Yuhe, you are cordially invited to attend tonight’s celebration at the Haitian Building nineteenth floor..."
"This..."
Ling Feng looked bewildered, looked up at Wang Laogen, and asked, "What does this an?"
"What does it an? Knowing that you brought Yuhe here, did you think we’d let her stay alone in the hotel?"
Wang Laogen chuckled, then continued, "This is also a ssage Lin Huaqiang is sending to you. He knows about your little affair, and as for acceptance, it seems now it should be no problem."
Ling Feng: "..."
Such an open-minded future father-in-law was truly rare in the world!
Knowing that he’s with his daughter, yet allowing him to bring another girl to the social event?
After the speechlessness, Ling Feng could only say to Chen Yuhe, "Then let’s go; otherwise, it would be disrespectful."
"Okay."
Chen Yuhe, although reluctant to be involved, nodded her head seeing Wang Laogen and Ling Feng had both said so.
"Alright, I need to get going, and I’m heading back too. My custom suit from Europe has arrived; I’ve got to try it on!" Wang Laogen stood up and said.
Ling Feng looked at the old man and thought to himself, this old man claims to be broke yet he orders custom suits?
...
...
At three o’clock, Ling Feng arrived at the venue on ti.
After passing through two security checks, he finally entered the main hall of the venue.
It was a very large space, with a stage at the south end and nearly a hundred chairs arranged in front of it, while so staff mbers were making preparations for the event.
With a sweep of his gaze, he saw Zhang He talking to Joanna and Ling Feng quickly walked over.
Zhang He didn’t catch his attention much, but Joanna, wearing a black suit, straight pants, and black leather shoes, looked strikingly dashing.
Especially her tall golden ponytail, it was hard to take your eyes off her once you saw it.
When Ling Feng approached, Zhang He nodded slightly, "Good, everyone’s here. Follow ."
Ling Feng saw Joanna looking at him, so he nodded at her, but she rolled her eyes and huffed before walking away!
"Damn, she really holds a grudge!"
Ling Feng knew it was because of what had happened in the morning, but he hadn’t expected her to rember, so he rolled his eyes as well.
Following Zhang He to a room at the back, there were already seven or eight people sitting inside, all young n looking full of vigor.
Once Ling Feng and Joanna had taken their seats, Zhang Kai began, "Everyone’s here, let’s talk about tonight’s mission plan..."
Ling Feng had never been involved in security work before, so he listened very intently and rembered his duty well – to guard one of the exits of the venue. In the event of an ergency, his job was to stop anyone trying to leave.
The others had their tasks, and it seed that because both Joanna and Ling Feng had visited Zhang He’s office together in the morning, he had paired them up in the sa team.
Seeing the envious glances from the others, Ling Feng ntally rolled his eyes.
These young guys clearly hadn’t seen much of the world. Sure, Joanna was the only female team mber and was pretty, but was she really sothing to be so envious about?
None of the girls around him were inferior to her; she was just a bit exotic with her blonde hair and blue eyes.
While Ling Feng was grumbling to himself, Joanna’s face wore a hint of an inscrutable smile, as if lost in thought.
"Alright, that’s basically it. We’re all not ordinary people here; now that you’ve got to recognize your colleagues’ faces, if anything unexpected happens, please rember to cooperate with each other no matter what. We must not let the thief succeed!" Zhang He said.
After he finished and was about to announce the end of the eting, Ling Feng couldn’t resist asking, "Director Zhang, I have a question!"
"Go ahead," Zhang He glanced at him.
"Does the Wildcat really have to steal on-site? Is she crazy? Doesn’t she know it would be easier to strike at a hotel or en route?" asked Ling Feng.
Upon hearing this, everyone snickered as if the question was rather foolish.
Zhang He glanced at him and said slowly, "You’ve misunderstood. The reason for this is that the owner of the Spirit Stone has placed it in a special space, only he can retrieve it. Tonight is when he intends to display it to everyone, so that’s the only chance to steal it!"
"What? A special space?"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened upon hearing this!
Seeing his reaction, the others looked at him with contempt, thinking, where did this bumpkin co from, not even knowing this?
