"Pre-emptive strike, then report?"
Tang Ru's pupils contracted sharply, and she couldn't help but gasp.
She didn't know what material these characters were carved from, but they gave off a sense of flowing and never-ending movement.
Tang Ru finally understood why her usually upright and proper uncle had suddenly asked him to let go of such a murderer.
"I don't recognize this token, nor have I heard of it," Tang Ru said, her face flushed.
Although she was still stubborn, her tone had already softened.
Ling Feng smiled faintly and pointed to Secretary Wang and Tang Long in the distance.
"You can ask them to authenticate it. Captain Tang, I can tell you that everyone I have killed deserved their fate. If I mistakenly kill an innocent person, I am willing to pay with my own life!"
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he gently pulled the ankle chain he was holding, and the steel-forged chain snapped directly.
Ling Feng got up, took the token from Tang Ru's hand, and turned to leave.
Zhao Wenjie saw this, snorted lightly, and quickly followed Ling Feng.
The others also left one after another.
The originally bustling interrogation room soon became empty.
Tang Long glanced at Tang Ru, sighed, and shook his head, "Little Ru, you almost caused a catastrophe. If Mr. Ling hadn't been so magnanimous, let alone you, I'm afraid our Tang family would have been removed from Hanjiang."
Tang Ru immediately felt a chill of fear. She swallowed and, suppressing her shock, said, "Uncle, who exactly is this Mr. Ling?"
Tang Long hesitated for a moment and then said, "You don't need to know who he is. You just need to understand one thing: from now on, you have no right to interfere with any of his actions in Hanjiang. Not only that, but you must also cooperate fully. Do you understand?"
After speaking, without waiting for Tang Ru to ask further questions, he hurried after Ling Feng.
Ling Feng left the police station, and a car was already waiting there.
Zhao Wenjie hurried over and opened the car door.
"Heavenly Venerate, let me see you off."
Ling Feng nodded and got into the car.
Zhao Wenjie turned to Tang Long, who was rushing over, and instructed, "Tang Long, take the others back to the base. I'll see Heavenly Venerate off."
"Yes!"
Tang Long responded loudly.
Although he was older than Zhao Wenjie and should have called him uncle by seniority, Zhao Wenjie was his immediate superior.
He dared not disobey!
Zhao Wenjie got into the car, turned to look at Ling Feng, and the imposing aura like a wild lion instantly vanished without a trace.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a powerful figure to a sunny young man.
He said with a smile, "Heavenly Venerate, I apologize for the scare. These people are too blind to even dare to arrest Heavenly Venerate. I will definitely give them a good talking-to to vent your anger."
Ling Feng frowned slightly and glanced coldly at Zhao Wenjie.
"Zhao Wenjie, I taught you your skills for you to show off in places like this?"
Zhao Wenjie was stunned. He hadn't expected his flattery to backfire. His smiling face immediately wilted.
"I'm sorry, Heavenly Venerate. I was just afraid you would be wronged here, so as soon as I received Yang Fei's call, I rushed over. I promise it won't happen again," Zhao Wenjie said with a wronged expression.
Ling Feng sighed slightly, his expression softening.
"I know you're acting out of concern, but you shouldn't have been so reckless. With my abilities, if I didn't want to be caught, do you really think I would have been brought to this place?"
"Moreover, with so many people, you caused a commotion at the police station. If it gets out and causes conflict, do you know how serious the consequences would be?"
Zhao Wenjie lowered his head in shame and remained silent.
At this moment, the car stopped, and Ling Feng reached out and patted Zhao Wenjie's shoulder.
"Alright, think about it yourself. What did you learn all these skills for? Come find me after you've figured it out. For now, you should go back to the base!"
Ling Feng left, leaving Zhao Wenjie to ponder in silence.
It wasn't until Ling Feng's figure completely disappeared from his sight that Zhao Wenjie came back to his senses. He signaled for the car to start and drove towards the base.
However, the roar of the engine was no longer as loud as before.
Ling Feng didn't go home directly. Calculating the time, Xiao Ran should be out of school soon.
So he turned to go to the kindergarten. When he arrived, Xiao Ran was already waiting at the entrance.
Xiao Ran seemed to be in a very good mood today. She skipped and hopped all the way to Ling Feng's side.
Seeing Xiao Ran's happy appearance, as if she had temporarily escaped the pain of losing her parents, Ling Feng couldn't help but show a smile.
He would bear the revenge for his elder brother alone.
He didn't want Xiao Ran to be too involved. She was still just a child, and she deserved a carefree childhood.
"Uncle, can we go to Grandpa Bai's house? Now that you're back, I want Grandpa Bai to see you."
Xiao Ran suddenly said, with a hint of pride in her voice, as if introducing Ling Feng to Grandpa Bai was a very honorable thing.
Ling Feng also knew Grandpa Bai, a kind and amiable old man.
Ling Feng remembered that when he and his elder brother Ling Yan encountered difficulties in their childhood, this old man would always be the first to help them.
Without the help of Old Mr. Bai, his and his elder brother's childhood would have been even more difficult.
Ling Yan had even mentioned in a letter that his marriage was arranged by this Grandpa Bai.
"Uncle, are you listening to Xiao Ran?"
Ling Feng was lost in nostalgic memories and was suddenly awakened by Xiao Ran's slightly annoyed voice.
He looked back and saw Xiao Ran pouting, hands on her hips, glaring at him.
Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, okay, since our Princess Xiao Ran requests it, how can Uncle refuse?"
With that, he picked up Xiao Ran and walked towards Old Mr. Bai's house.
Old Mr. Bai lived in a famous urban village in Hanjiang, not far from here.
Xiao Ran was very familiar with the route, and in just a moment, Ling Feng arrived at Old Mr. Bai's doorstep.
The Bai family seemed to have a special occasion today. Lanterns and decorations were hung inside and outside the house, creating a festive atmosphere.
Xiao Ran's face lit up with joy at the lively scene before her.
"Uncle, Uncle, hurry up! Grandpa Bai's house must have something happy happening. Let's go congratulate Grandpa Bai quickly."
Xiao Ran tugged at Ling Feng's hand and ran towards the entrance of the Bai family's house.
At the main entrance stood two young men, bowing and fawning to the people coming and going.
However, when Xiao Ran and Ling Feng arrived at the courtyard entrance, the expressions of the two instantly changed.
The smiles disappeared, replaced by unreserved disgust and contempt.
"Oh, and who is this? Are you, little jinx, here to freeload again? Let me tell you, today is a joyous occasion for our Bai family. You should go somewhere else to beg for food!"
