On the other side, under the escort of the personal guards, Lin Ling and his disciples successfully arrived at Fengtian headquarters.
"Wow, isn't this Fengtian Prefecture too big?”
Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng's small mouths opened into a big 'O' shape as they stared at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion in shock.
"I say, the two of you look like you haven't seen the world before. Can you restrain yourself?”
Lin Ling said helplessly.
"No, Master, this house is bigger than our coffin shop. The two of us are just curious!”
The guard beside him was stunned when he heard this.
What do you mean by our marshal's residence is as big as your coffin shop…
"Mister Lin, we can't enter the marshal's inner residence. In a while, our Zhang Shao Shuai will personally come to pick you up.”
The captain of the personal guards, Shi Hai, forced a smile and left with his troops.
"Hmm?"
Lin Ling saw Shi Hai's forced smile. Although he sensed that something was fishy, he still nodded calmly.
"His eyes are unfocused, the veins on his forehead haven't subsided since the beginning, and his chin is retracted. It seems like there's something on his mind…"
Lin Ling subconsciously touched his chin. When a person was relaxed, his chin would slightly bulge forward. Only when he was nervous would his chin involuntarily contract slightly.
Lin Ling's ability to read people's expressions had long been perfected. As the commander's first guard captain, many things could be reflected from him.
Lin Ling looked around thoughtfully. He looked at the invitation card in his hand and then at his surroundings.
One had to know that this was the Zhang family's inner residence, the core area. It was the grand wedding of the marshal's son, but there was actually no happy occasion here.
According to Lin Ling's understanding of the marshal, something more important than his own son's marriage must be a huge event.
Could it be that something had happened to the marshal's manor?
When Lin Ling's gaze landed on the watches and woolen coats in Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng's hands, he suddenly frowned.
He had almost forgotten about it.
"Wenqian, is the woolen coat warm?”
Su Wenqian blurted out without thinking,"Master, it's warm. When I touched it, it was a mink fur. I didn't expect that the commander's treatment of that old kid was really good. Master, do you want to consider it?”
As soon as Su Wenqian finished speaking, he met Lin Ling's "loving" gaze.
"You think you're funny?"
Lin Ling said expressionlessly.
Su Wenqian was stunned. His expression changed and he immediately took off his woolen coat.
"Forgive me for my ignorance! Good things should be given to Master first!”
Chi Tiecheng, who was standing beside him, was also stunned. He immediately took off his watch with some heartache.
"Master, this is Tiecheng's gift to you.”
Seeing the two little fellows 'pained expressions, Lin Ling was not angry. Instead, he smiled and immediately took the woolen coat and watch. He muttered to himself,
"There are hundreds of them at 108 Nanhong Street in the country. It won't be easy to find me.”
Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng were stunned. They looked at each other and looked around suspiciously, but they didn't see anyone.
"Master, who are you talking to?”
Lin Ling did not say anything. Instead, he skillfully rubbed his coat and disassembled his watch.
"Master, stop rubbing. You've almost plucked out all the mink fur!”
"Master, it's just a watch. What did it do wrong? Why did you cut it into pieces?”
At first, the two little fellows were very distressed, but after a while, the two little fellows stopped talking and their eyes were filled with surprise.
That was because Lin Ling had removed a thumb-sized listening device from his coat and watch.
"Master, this…"
Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng were completely stunned. They didn't expect that the thing they had spent so much effort to get from Wang Tianfeng would actually contain a listening device!
"You're underestimating Wang Tianfeng. A commander who can shake the entire city with a stomp of his foot, how can he be bullied by you two kids?”
Lin Ling frowned.
"Master, we were too careless."
Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng lowered their heads in shame.
"Remember, take this as a warning. If you make such a low-level mistake again, I won't let you off easily!”
"Yes, Master."
Lin Ling looked at the two chips in his hand and crushed them. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up into a strange arc as he muttered to himself,
"Poisonous Bee, you forced me to do this, so don't blame me for hacking into your entire underground intelligence system.”
“......”
On the other side, after Riding Cloud reported the situation to Wang Tianfeng, Wang Tianfeng naturally did not dare to arrest anyone. He could only hide in the dark and try to use the radio to listen in on the situation between the marshal and Lin Ling. He wanted to find out more about Lin Ling's background and also whether the news of the marshal's death was true or false.
Wang Tianfeng wore headphones and sat in front of the radio station, listening carefully.
"Master, it's warm. When I touched it, it was a mink fur. I didn't expect that the commander's treatment of that old kid was really good. Master, do you want to consider it?”
"Forgive me for my ignorance! Good things should be given to Master first!”
"Master, this is Tiecheng's gift to you.”
“......”
Wang Tianfeng listened carefully, not daring to miss a single word. At this moment, Lin Ling's voice suddenly sounded,
"There are hundreds of them at 108 Nanhong Street in the country. It won't be easy to find me.”
Wang Tianfeng was stunned. This sentence didn't seem like it would appear in a normal conversation and be said to his two disciples.
More importantly, after he said that, there was no more movement from the monitor.
"Hmm? Is it broken?"
Wang Tianfeng took off his earphones and looked at the radio station carefully. He found that there was no problem and the information was still accepted as usual.
Deng.
At this moment, Qi Yun walked in with a white document.
"Sir, the report on Lin Ling's name card is out.”
"Read it."
Qi Yun cleared his throat and slowly said,
"In the entire country, excluding the concessions that the Qing Dynasty ceded, there are a total of 19653 main roads in the statistics. Among them, there are a total of 216 roads that match the word 'Nanhong'. There are 138 roads that have the end of the 108th address.”
"Wait!"
After Wang Tianfeng heard this, he was immediately stunned.
"Why are there so many people called 108 Nanhong Street?？”
Qi Yun immediately replied,
"Sir, we've checked. These streets were renamed through proper channels about a year ago.”
"A year ago? Could it be that this kid had already started plotting a year ago?”
Wang Tianfeng was dumbfounded.
"This is too strange. There are actually more than a hundred people called 108 Nanhong Street in the country.”
Wang Tianfeng cursed angrily. No matter how many spies he had under him, it was unrealistic for him to go to hundreds of this address all over the country.
Wang Tianfeng was very angry. He had thought that after Lin Ling returned from the Three Eastern Provinces, as long as he left the marshal, he would have a way to catch him. However, now it was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. It was impossible to find Lin Ling.
Even if he could find hundreds of coffin shops in the country that met the requirements, it would be too late…
Wang Tianfeng felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been tricked by Lin Ling. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the monitoring radio. This was his only trump card.
"No!"
However, at this moment, Wang Tianfeng suddenly came to a realization. That sentence suddenly lingered in his ears.
"There are hundreds of them at 108 Nanhong Street in the country. It won't be easy to find me.”
These words were like a curse that began to repeat endlessly in Wang Tianfeng's ears. Wang Tianfeng's eyes were blank as he couldn't help but say,
"So this sentence was meant for me.”
