Chapter 1319 - 1319: Heavy Truck Pursuit

"Didn't you say you had something to discuss with me privately?" Xiao Feng transitioned the topic, "What is it? Speak."

Hua Ling adjusted his expression and said, "Investigating the Tea Master Training Class is technically within the purview of the Demon Suppression Action Team, but investigating that guy, what's his name..."

"Ward Edmund." Xiao Feng's forehead was covered with black lines.

Can't even remember a name, and yet has the nerve to evaluate others?

Hua Ling immediately slapped his forehead, saying, "Oh right, it's Gu Wanrong's enemy. Investigating him is not within the scope of the Demon Suppression Action Team's duties.

Gu Wanrong isn't one of us, nor has she targeted any members of the Demon Suppression Action Team, so we have no reason to meddle in such matters."

"So what do you mean?"

Hua Ling didn't answer, instead he asked, "Do you think I'm trying to take advantage and get some kickback from you or something?"

"Isn't that so?" Xiao Feng chuckled lightly.

"Of course not!" Hua Ling said earnestly, "I just mentioned earlier that I've got tens of millions, how could I eye your little bit of money?"

"..." Xiao Feng.

This is the kind of arrogance that blinds you to your own reality.

Besides, don't you have any sense of how you got those 'tens of millions'?

Just when he was thinking about it, Hua Ling spoke again, "I'm genuinely trying to help you, thinking from your perspective. Don't turn my goodwill into a donkey's liver and lungs."

"So what plan have you thought of?" Xiao Feng followed the bait and asked.

In fact, even without the Demon Suppression Action Team's assistance, investigating Edmund wouldn't be all that difficult.

According to Gu Wanrong, Edmund is a criminal organization leader.

Typically, parts of the information about such organization leaders are public, like Lin Jiaxuan and Lin Zhiyan's Blood Nightmare.

Even though both of them do a good job with secrecy, it's inevitable that some information will circulate outside.

Xiao Feng doesn't need to verify if the information circulating is accurate, he just needs to connect with the organization's external liaisons, and naturally, there'll be a way to meet Edmund.

However, if he can utilize the Demon Suppression Action Team's power, then there's no reason to refuse, so he listened to what Hua Ling had to say.

"I think it's simple too, Edmund has no connection with the Demon Suppression Action Team, so we help him establish one, and then everything will be OK."

Hua Ling swaggered as he spoke, "For example, spread some rumors claiming Edmund wants to declare war on the Demon Suppression Action Team.

As for reasons, you can come up with those out of thin air."

"This is your plan?" Xiao Feng shook his head, looking disappointed.

"What's with that expression?" Hua Ling protested, "What's wrong with my plan?"

Xiao Feng sighed, "I'll ask you one question: how does Edmund know the Demon Suppression Action Team exists?

Even if Edmund knew it exists, why would he declare war on the Demon Suppression Action Team?

Did he have a lapse in judgment, or does he think he's dying too slowly?"

"You..." Hua Ling was momentarily speechless but pushed forward, "Is this even a question?"

"Doesn't matter how many questions, if you can answer one, it will be impressive."

Hua Ling thought for a long time, and couldn't help but say angrily, "I am the one giving you ideas, is this attitude appropriate?"

"Well, thank you in advance then, think about your ideas slowly. When you come up with a reasonable one without flaws, just let me know." Xiao Feng dropped the words and got up to walk into the courtyard.

Hua Ling stomped his foot and said, "Want to act alone with Gu Wanrong? No way!

I refuse to believe there isn't a way!"

...

Leaving the villa, Xiao Feng, along with Xue Nuofu and the foolishly grinning Ye Kuto.

The trio headed back to Jinyue Garden.

"Ye Kuto, is there anything you need to go back and pack?" Xue Nuofu casually asked while driving.

"No, no, it's all worthless stuff anyway. I'm not even bothered about the rent deposit, no need to go back and mess around." Ye Kuto answered, eyes fixed on the balance of his card displayed in the text message.

Xiao Feng didn't pay attention to the two, his mind somewhat regretting not asking Gu Wanrong more about the Devil's Concentration Camp.

However, even if he'd asked, it probably wouldn't have had any meaning.

After all this time, whether that sister is still the same can't be certain, receiving outdated information is worse than receiving none at all.

"Old Xue, ask amongst our current personnel if anyone knows a guy named Ward Edmund."

Xue Nuofu was momentarily stunned, "Foreigner?"

"Duh! Do Huaxia people have names like that?"

"Alright, I'll ask now." Xue Nuofu agreed, took out his phone, started composing a message, and before sending it out to all, he confirmed, "It's Ward Edmund, right?"

Xiao Feng was about to nod but suddenly heard the roar of an engine behind the car.

He quickly looked at the rearview mirror and saw a heavy truck approaching, accelerating.

"Turn the wheel!" Xiao Feng shouted urgently.

As he shouted, he leaned over to the driver's seat and reached out to turn the steering wheel.

Xue Nuofu was somewhat slow to react but understood there must be a reason for Xiao Feng's actions.

"Bang!"

The car shook violently, with Ye Kuto in the back knocking his head on the front seat, crying out chaotically.

Xue Nuofu's eyes flashed, checking between the two mirrors and the rearview mirror, and took control of the wheel to straighten the car.

Yet before he could hit the pedal and escape the heavy truck behind, there was another "bang".

"Damn!" Xue Nuofu cursed out loud, quickly assessing the road conditions.

On both sides were stalls, with people milling about haphazardly.

In these circumstances, a hard press on the gas would definitely mow down several people.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!"

Xue Nuofu frantically honked, but most pedestrians didn't panic; there was even an old man on a tricycle deliberately moving his vehicle closer to the middle.

The message was simple: dare you hit me!

"I'm really amazed!" Xue Nuofu couldn't help but curse but hesitated to press down forcefully on the accelerator.

Xiao Feng glanced back at the relentless truck, not caring about who sent the vehicle; the immediate need was to evade it.

Looking around, he decisively said, "Turn right fully and floor the gas!"

"Right?" Xue Nuofu said, wide-eyed, "Doesn't turning right mean driving into the river?"

"I'm not blind!" Xiao Feng retorted irritably, "Don't dawdle, or it'll be too late!"

Xue Nuofu gritted his teeth, then jerked the wheel and slammed the accelerator.

"Crunch!"

The roadside barrier broke directly, and the vehicle plunged into the river.

Ye Kuto wailed in the back, "Mom, I just earned a hundred thousand, haven't spent even a bit..."

Before finishing his words, he hit his head on the car roof, dizzy and seeing stars.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng and Xue Nuofu kept calm, attempting to open the door once the shaking stopped. However, due to the external pressure, they repeatedly tried but couldn't push the door open.

Unable to open the doors, they seamlessly opted to break the windows, first getting Ye Kuto out, then swimming through the window themselves.

Simultaneously, the old man loitering in the middle of the road, in terror and despair, was hit by the heavy truck and sent flying.

There's a saying that when someone tempts fate, not even the immortals can save them, it's perfectly apt here.

The old man could have avoided losing his life but ended up paying with it for his stubbornness.
