"Oh? Is that so? Do you think I would believe that?"
Ling Feng slowly stood up and walked towards Wang Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground.
Wang Cheng became even more terrified. The person before him was the legendary Ling Tian War God.
The Kyoto Chamber of Commerce had been directly dismantled by the Ling Tian War God back then. It was only after their pleas that the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce was rebuilt.
Now, after only a month or two, he, the acting president, had made such a huge mistake.
Wang Cheng felt that he would surely be slapped to death by Ling Feng.
"I truly did not participate, but I do have shares in the auction. If I didn't, my position as acting president would be unstable. If this position is unstable, the reconstruction of the Chamber of Commerce would be difficult! I, I was forced into it!"
As he spoke, Wang Cheng actually started to cry from grievance.
"Oh? So you're saying you had no choice?"
Ling Feng retorted.
At the same time, he had already walked behind Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng became even more terrified. He suddenly turned around and kowtowed repeatedly to Ling Feng: "War God, please investigate clearly. I am truly helpless! I am willing to surrender all the money I have obtained, and I have detailed records of all the accounts. I truly haven't spent a single cent of this money on myself!"
"Did I say you spent the money?"
Ling Feng placed one hand on Wang Cheng's shoulder.
At this moment, Wang Cheng almost fainted.
However, upon feeling the warmth of Ling Feng's hand, Wang Cheng managed to regain some composure.
He quickly kowtowed repeatedly to Ling Feng.
"Yes, yes, you didn't say that!"
"Get up. If you truly deserved to die, you wouldn't have had the chance to appear before me."
Ling Feng sat back down in his seat.
This time, Wang Cheng completely sobered up and then stood up tremblingly.
"Tell me everything you know. I learned from Lin Jiuhe that they have a stronghold outside the western suburbs of the city in the capital. You should know this better than Lin Jiuhe, right?"
Ling Feng asked indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but swallow hard.
"There is a stronghold, but that's just one of them. Their strongholds are unstable, changing every week or two to prevent discovery. Additionally, the patent sales rights for those cultivation techniques are also processed through the Chamber of Commerce. Their items will be sent to the auction house before the auction!"
Wang Cheng blurted out everything in one breath. Only when he finished speaking did he realize he might have said a bit too much.
He then looked at Ling Feng with fear and trepidation.
Ling Feng's eyes were indifferent. He stared at Wang Cheng and said coldly:
"What do you mean by telling me these things later? Do you think I'm very interested in the cultivation techniques they are auctioning?"
Wang Cheng trembled all over, shaking his head repeatedly in fear: "No, no, I misunderstood. I... I just thought everyone was interested in those cultivation techniques because they are indeed very valuable. Otherwise, how could Lin Jiuhe have gotten rich so quickly if he was only involved in a small part of it?"
"Everyone is interested in these cultivation techniques? Your understanding is too superficial."
Ling Feng shrugged.
Wang Cheng naturally nodded like pounding garlic.
He dared not refute in the slightest.
Ling Feng turned his head to look out the window: "What I'm interested in are just those people! Do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Cheng's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, nodding like pounding garlic.
He finally woke up completely.
Ling Feng was the Ling Tian War God!
How could the Ling Tian War God before him be like ordinary people, caring about the value of cultivation techniques?
The Ling Tian War God would naturally want to swallow everything whole!
This was the mindset of a businessman, always prioritizing profit.
Ling Feng naturally wouldn't explain further to Wang Cheng. He called this guy over precisely to accomplish what he wanted in the shortest amount of time!
"Yes, I understand. I... I can contact some of those people, but I don't know if they are the leaders..."
Wang Cheng said tremblingly. He said he understood Ling Feng's meaning, but in fact, he had completely misinterpreted Ling Feng's meaning.
But it didn't matter, as long as the ultimate goal was achieved.
"You don't need to contact them. Just ensure the normal holding of the auction, and the normal activities of those people are enough!"
Ling Feng said casually.
Wang Cheng's eyes widened, and he looked troubled.
"But, War God, the current situation... after that news came out, the situation became very tense. Those who sell cultivation techniques should be very careful, right?"
Ling Feng's gaze at Wang Cheng sharpened slightly.
Wang Cheng nodded repeatedly in fear: "Yes, I will definitely, definitely do it!"
"Go!"
Ling Feng waved his hand, and Wang Cheng quickly scrambled away.
As Wang Cheng left, Yang Fei appeared before Ling Feng. His expression was somewhat grim, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
But he didn't ask anything.
"Don't you think it's unreasonable?"
Ling Feng suddenly asked.
Yang Fei was startled and quickly shook his head: "Heavenly Venerable, your calculations are divine. This arrangement must have its reasons!"
"Well, I had Lin Shuainan declare war on those guys, or rather, show them a display of force. Now I'm having Wang Cheng ensure those people appear. This seems contradictory, but it's not. Lin Jiuhe alone is not something those people would take seriously!"
Ling Feng explained calmly.
Yang Fei then frowned and said: "If that's the case, why did you do this? Even if they weren't alerted, they would be more cautious in their actions next time, and perhaps they would cancel some of their upcoming activities?"
"No, they will only mock Lin Shuainan's actions. They will only think that the authorities are bluffing, because this is not formal at all!"
Ling Feng explained casually.
Yang Fei's eyes brightened, and he nodded: "In this way, they will become careless. Perhaps their arrogance will grow even more. However, they will exclude unnecessary people next time, and their sales structure will become more mature! It will be even harder to investigate them in the future."
"Therefore, this upcoming operation is crucial. As long as we catch one vine, we can uproot them all!"
Ling Feng looked at Yang Fei analyzing things meticulously and couldn't help but find it a little amusing.
"You're thinking too much. I had Lin Shuainan appear in public just to let everyone know about this matter. As for what the people behind it think, I don't care. These people won't be caught so easily. This deterrence will cause some people to waver later, and the subsequent actions will cause more people to waver. The more careless they are now, the more fear they will feel from our attacks later!"
Yang Fei's eyes brightened further: "Your subordinate understands!"
"If you understand, then go and prepare. You still need to keep an eye on that fellow Wang Cheng. This guy is too timid, don't let him mess things up!"
Ling Feng waved his hand and instructed.
Yang Fei quickly responded and left. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly looked back at Ling Feng and grinned, saying: "Heh heh, Heavenly Venerable, it's not that he's timid. Facing you, no one can be anything but timid."
