Chapter 2400: Chapter 2399: New Developments
Ling Feng looked surprised: "So many?"
"Yeah!"
Mu Mu nodded and continued, "When I got there, Gu Li gave me so much!"
"Impressive."
Ling Feng listened with a helpless smile, thinking to himself that Gu Li’s ability to mobilize resources was indeed noteworthy.
But as it stands, making money here at Lingjian Mountain doesn’t seem that crucial anymore. The spaceship I’ve acquired has so many valuable items on board, probably not any less than what’s here.
Therefore, Ling Feng thought the shop could take a more laid-back approach in the future. He could hire a few more staff to handle the work and not involve Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu anymore.
Of course, this idea can’t be implemented right now because there are just too many customers.
Once people’s excitement dies down, then he could consider hiring people to work.
And so, Ling Feng stayed at the shop, busy with everyone throughout the day. Even after the sun set, there were still many people in line who couldn’t enter the shop.
In the end, to not disappoint everyone, Ling Feng simply made a batch of numbers, allowing those with the numbers to enter the shop first tomorrow, which finally satisfied everyone, and they left contentedly.
After closing the shop, Ling Feng let the Yun Cheng brothers go home first, then took Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu to teleport immediately, returning to Lingyun Island.
Upon arrival, Ling Feng hardly paused and directly teleported to the Moon Base.
Before taking out the spaceship, Ling Feng first spoke with the base’s core to spread the notification, so some people wouldn’t be unaware and mistake it for an intruder or something.
Then Ling Feng left the base, went directly into space, and then took out the spaceship.
After entering the spaceship, Ling Feng brought Xiao Xiao out from inside and went together to find the proton.
Seeing the spaceship arrive in a new setting, returning to the familiar cosmic space, the proton, who typically showed no emotion, unexpectedly became excited.
However, due to insufficient energy in the spaceship, flying wasn’t possible. It could only temporarily park here.
Once an energy block is found, it can roam freely in the universe.
After settling the spaceship and briefing the proton on the situation of the base on the dark side of the moon, and establishing communication between him and the base’s core, Ling Feng returned to Lingyun Island with Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu.
Just as they appeared, Ling Feng saw Gu Li standing aside and, smiling, asked, "What a coincidence?"
"What coincidence, I heard someone saw you, boss, but didn’t know where you teleported to, so I’m waiting here!" Gu Li said.
"Oh, do you need something from me?" Ling Feng asked.
"I do, it’s just right that you’re here, boss. I have something important to discuss with you!" Gu Li nodded.
"Alright, let’s talk in the office."
Ling Feng nodded and started walking forward.
But Gu Li caught up: "Let’s talk as we walk, boss. In America, Peter has stepped down, and there’s a new president now."
"Oh? Has his term ended?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, this old guy wanted re-election, but unfortunately, he didn’t have enough votes to surpass his competitor, so he was ousted."
Gu Li said, then added, "This was originally over a month ago. I didn’t have a chance to tell you, and I didn’t realize who this new guy was. But over time, I’ve discovered this newcomer is even more despicable than Peter!"
Ling Feng was a bit puzzled and looked at him: "What happened?"
"This newly appointed Joseph isn’t simple, he’s quite crafty!"
Gu Li said, then quickly continued: "According to intelligence from Shen Yuan’s end, this Joseph has already established a special action team of about two hundred people, specifically to target Ling Corporation!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng frowned and then asked seriously, "Have I not subdued them yet?"
"It seems so. The Americans’ ambition won’t die, and they’re unwilling to see Ling Corporation dominate the world. Open confrontation is useless, so they’re resorting to underhanded tactics!" Gu Li explained.
"Where is this special action team located and what’s its current status?" Ling Feng immediately asked.
"I just got the news myself. Currently, we’re still waiting for the latest intelligence from Shen Yuan. This organization isn’t based within America; it’s secretly set up in Southeast Asia!" Gu Li said.
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, it’s just as well that there’s nothing going on at Lingjian Mountain. Even if there is, I’ll have to put it off. I’ll follow up on this today!"
After speaking, he looked back at Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu: "You two should head back to Lingjian Mountain first. After all, I’ve promised quite a few Fourth Grade and Fifth Rank disciples to deliver goods to them, and also for Feiyan. If she comes looking for me, tell her I have some matters to handle."
"Alright!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, then asked, "Brother, how many days until you return?"
"Not sure, but based on my previous efficiency handling matters on Earth, it should take about five or six days, maybe three or two if it’s fast!" Ling Feng replied.
"Alright, then we’ll wait for you."
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu nodded and turned to leave.
Ling Feng and Gu Li went to the office, and after sitting down, Gu Li showed him the information sent by Shen Yuan.
Nowadays, Shen Yuan has practically become the underground king in North America. High-end products from Ling Corporation, which aren’t available on the market, can be obtained from him, allowing him to make many connections with influential and wealthy individuals, significantly boosting his influence.
It was because of this that he got the opportunity to receive this intelligence and immediately notified Gu Li.
Of course, locating the specific whereabouts of that action team remains challenging.
Since it is the highest level of secrecy, it can’t be that easy.
Ling Feng chatted briefly with Gu Li, then said: "Since we have this clue, I’ll go to America to take a look. If his people can’t find the whereabouts of this organization, I’ll investigate it myself!"
"Then I’ll go with you," Gu Li said.
"Alright."
Ling Feng looked at him, didn’t hesitate, and nodded directly.
Then they left the office, went through a few relay teleportations, and arrived at Shen Yuan’s secret hideout in Washington D.C.
Upon arrival, Shen Yuan came over immediately, quite excited to see Ling Feng.
Seeing so, Ling Feng smiled: "What’s going on?"
"Nothing, boss. It’s just been a few months since you left last time, I kind of missed you!" Shen Yuan laughed.
"Is that so? I’m not even a beauty!"
Ling Feng laughed and sat down to ask: "How’s the progress now? Have you found more information?"
"Not yet, I’ve already sent trusted people to investigate. Currently, we only know the organization is in the Southeast Asia area and seems to be mobile without a fixed hideout!" Shen Yuan said.
