The next day, the sky was bright.
Work at the factory was in full swing!
For a time, Lin Siqi and the others were all occupied. Ji Yunyue, after Ling Feng's initial treatment, had no major physical harm and followed along.
This, instead, allowed Ling Feng to enjoy unprecedented ease.
There were no women around him.
Even Yang Fei had been dispatched.
Ling Xiaoran, now accompanied by her father Ling Yan, was out and about. Ling Yan doted on her, not rushing her to school at all.
It was as if he wanted to make up for all the fatherly love his daughter had missed during this period.
After a cup of clear tea.
His phone rang, and his smartwatch chimed!
On one side was Li Tianjiao, and on the other was Yang Fei.
Ling Feng directly answered Yang Fei's call, leaving Li Tianjiao's call on hold.
"Heavenly Venerate, the media has arrived. The villagers are very proactive, and some workers have been hired. Road construction has just begun. However, the village chief and the accountant are injured and are recuperating at home. Only a young man named Tian Geng has come out to organize everything. This person seems a bit simple-minded."
Yang Fei quickly reported the situation on the scene.
Ling Feng immediately replied, "You're the simple-minded one. This Tian Geng is the fleeing Nalan Xing!"
"It's him?!" Yang Fei exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth.
If it were truly Nalan Xing, he would have undergone a complete transformation!
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "It's him, no need to doubt! Let the media heat things up, force the village chief and the accountant out. Even if they're not on-site supervising construction, make them famous. Use yesterday's events as the story."
"Yes!" Yang Fei responded and acted.
Vaguely, he understood that Ling Feng intended to make these individuals famous. Weren't these people good at hiding?
Then, exposing them completely, making them famous, would be to cut off their retreat.
Wanting to mysteriously disappear from public view?
Well... that would be difficult!
Afterward, Ling Feng called Li Tianjiao back, "What's up?"
"What do you mean what's up? Xiao Mei and Grandma are both in a coma! Didn't you say you were going to save them? Why aren't you here yet?"
Li Tianjiao's voice sounded anxious.
It seemed as if he was blaming Ling Feng for not taking the matter seriously, or perhaps, not considering it important at all!
"The medicine has been sent. The method of administration has been written down for you. They need to remain in a coma! Just wait patiently!"
Ling Feng said casually and hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, Li Tianjiao's call came through again.
"So you had it all prepared! But you didn't explain clearly just now. What do you mean by 'wait'? Wait for what?"
Li Tianjiao pressed.
Ling Feng shook his head, "Wait for their next move. They want to kill someone, and the person didn't die. Do you think they'll give up? Someone will definitely come to test the waters. Then you can capture them!"
"Oh, you should have said so earlier!" Li Tianjiao pouted.
"You're letting your concern cloud your judgment. Be careful yourself! Don't capsize in a ditch!" Ling Feng hung up again.
And so,
Three days passed.
Qing'ao Village became famous overnight due to the five million yuan for road construction.
Wang Zhankun wanted to seize the money, but Village Chief Tian and Accountant Liu Fatty desperately protected it, even anticipating the situation and hiding the money in advance.
All these plot twists further fueled the excitement here!
The internet was flooded with voices.
Qing'ao Village even became a tourist destination for everyone. In fashionable terms, it had become an internet-famous check-in spot!
Suddenly, many investments poured in here.
With such popularity and massive traffic, many companies were willing to show their faces here.
Even if it was just to display their company's products in front of the cameras, it would increase exposure.
Let alone investments, donations, developing attractions, or engaging in development projects.
For a time, even Beishan Township became popular along with it.
Every day, many media outlets lingered here, and people filmed videos here to post online!
Village Chief Tian and Accountant Liu Fatty had also become internet celebrities.
Every day, the money from short video creators, interview fees, and appearance fees was enough to elevate their lives to a comfortable standard.
Watching them smile in front of the cameras.
Ling Feng knew very well that in their hearts, they must be cursing profusely.
It didn't matter. The delay had served its purpose.
Then, news came from both Li Tianjiao and Zhou Jin.
Li Tianjiao had indeed captured three people, and these three were all controlled by some method. Yang Fei had specifically gone to identify them.
He decisively confirmed one thing.
The way these three were controlled was the same as Wang Zhankun at that time.
Therefore, these individuals must have been dispatched from Qing'ao Village.
Of course, these three were not villagers of Qing'ao Village.
Ling Feng investigated slightly and could determine that these people had appeared in Qing'ao Village recently. Two were students, and one was unemployed.
It was evident that Village Chief Tian and the other fellow were extremely cautious.
They had not dispatched their true core personnel, which was, of course, a test.
However, they had not obtained the intelligence they desired.
"What's the situation? They've captured people, but they're just insignificant minor figures. Xiao Mei has been receiving IV fluids for two days, and Grandma looks much thinner!"
Li Tianjiao kept urging.
Ling Feng walked to the bedside and observed the condition of the two. Just then, he heard the sound of a car stopping outside the window.
"Who is it?" Li Tianjiao frowned and leaned towards the window.
"My people. Go and invite them up," Ling Feng said casually.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianjiao's eyes widened, "What are you doing? My people need me to invite them? Is that too much of a show of importance?"
"It's to save your sister. Will you invite them or not?" Ling Feng rolled his eyes.
Li Tianjiao's mouth twitched, "You should have said so earlier!"
Then he eagerly went down to invite them.
Zhou Jin was soon invited up by Li Tianjiao.
"Township Lord Wang is too polite. I am merely following orders to deliver the medication,"
Zhou Jin felt a bit uneasy with Li Tianjiao's smiling welcome and handed the medication to Ling Feng with a smile.
Ling Feng directly injected the gene medication into Li Mei and her grandmother!
Li Tianjiao suddenly awoke and exclaimed, "You're injecting it now? Is that the antidote?"
"It is the antidote."
Ling Feng said casually. These were medications he had prepared, which he later handed over to Zhou Jin for more refined research and purification.
In fact, it had been completed two days ago.
It had only taken a little time at Zhou Jin's place.
However, for Ling Feng, the wasted time was worth it, because with this success, he would no longer have to worry about the other party using these gene toxins again!
Especially targeting Li Tianjiao.
Since the other party had developed such a thing, they would eventually increase the dosage for Li Tianjiao.
If Li Tianjiao were to have an accident, the Elder Council would surely fall into chaos!
How could Ling Feng allow such a thing to happen?
"You get a shot too!" Ling Feng casually tossed it over!
"Me? I get one too? Haven't I already been cured of the poison?" Li Tianjiao looked confused and slightly frowned.
"It's for prevention. From now on, their poison will be ineffective against you."
Upon hearing this, Li Tianjiao decisively gave himself a shot, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
