Deng Zhenshan's decision was undoubtedly wise.
For less than five minutes after they left the Yan family's residence.
At least three stealth fighters appeared above the Yan family's estate!
With the Yan family being such a prize, after being steamed, boiled, fried, and roasted by Ling Feng, there were now too many people clamoring to feast on it!
Therefore, the Yan family was completely erased from the capital overnight...
No, it wasn't even overnight. Within just two hours, they were completely removed from the capital!
It was only a matter of time before it was publicly announced.
Such matters would be drawn out, but the news would eventually spread.
The impact would be minimal!
What mattered was not the Yan family itself, but the businesses under the Yan family. As long as the Yan family's assets were maintained.
Who cared who was managing them from above!
As for Ling Feng, his gains from this trip were two spiritual herbs and all of the Yan family's channels for procuring medicinal materials!
It was precisely because of this that Ling Feng had personally come to the Yan family before. Only by personally intervening could he achieve such results!
After all, if local forces were simply mobilized, the Elder Council would demand an explanation. The stability of the city was not to be disrupted by anyone, as the impact would be significant!
However, "anyone" here referred to people. Ling Feng was not a person!
He was the God of War!
The Heavenly Venerate of the North!
Therefore, when the Elder Council learned that Ling Feng had resolved the matter, they dared not utter a single word.
Instead, Li Tianjiao happily sent people to take over.
This naturally brought him considerable benefits!
Thus, as Ling Feng was being driven home, Li Tianjiao made a phone call.
"Hey, I say Ling Tianci, you've only been in the capital for a few days, and you've already caused such a stir. Aren't you afraid those old guys will be unhappy with you?"
Ling Feng was already accustomed to Li Tianjiao's casual tone.
He casually replied, "When are you treating me?"
"Uh... You can't be serious? You're so stingy. You're the biggest beneficiary here, aren't you? Why should I treat you?"
Li Tianjiao complained directly, clearly calculating his gains.
Ling Feng curled his lips and replied, "I only took the fruits of my labor, while you can sit at home and collect money. Who do you think should treat?"
"Damn it, you win. I shouldn't have called!"
Li Tianjiao cursed, truly stingy to the bone.
Of course, for Li Tianjiao, such opportunities to make money were rare, and many old guys were watching him.
Although Li Tianjiao wasn't afraid of them, he preferred not to bother or provoke them.
"You didn't call just for this, did you?"
Ling Feng asked casually.
"You know everything! You brat, I heard about what you're collecting. I know who has one of the items, and it's up to you whether you want to go and ask for it!"
Li Tianjiao got straight to the point.
"What do you mean? With your prestigious title as the King of the Elder Council, are there things you can't get?"
Ling Feng used a bit of provocation.
Li Tianjiao rolled his eyes directly: "Don't try that with me. I won't beat around the bush. This item is in the hands of that tomboy. You should know her family. Back on the battlefield, you stole a lot of her thunder, and she even confessed her love to you publicly, only to be rejected. After retiring, she's now a business elite, a top socialite in the capital!"
Ling Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Lu Qingqing?"
"Haha, that was her alias when she was serving in the army. Her real name is Lu Qingyi! The Qingyi Group was founded by her, and it's quite famous in the capital. You can ask at any store!"
Li Tianjiao chuckled, finished speaking, and directly hung up on Ling Feng.
"Alright, that's all I'll say for today. Whether you go or not is up to you. Heh heh, I'm definitely not going!"
Beep beep beep...
The call ended, Ling Feng put away his phone and rubbed his right thumb against his temple.
Yang Fei dared not eavesdrop on Ling Feng's phone call, but he did hear the name Lu Qingqing!
Seeing Ling Feng's troubled expression, he cautiously said with a wry smile, "Is it General Lu?"
"Li Tianjiao called. One of the things I need is with Lu Qingqing."
Ling Feng replied casually, closing his eyes. This was indeed a very troublesome matter.
If there was any woman Ling Feng was unwilling to face, it was this Lu Qingqing!
Ling Feng's rise to the position of Heavenly Venerate of the North was partly due to this woman's assistance, but in the end, this woman said she wanted to marry Ling Feng. Can you believe that?
That's right, she wanted to marry Ling Feng!
She wanted Ling Feng to join her family!
Naturally, Ling Feng refused, but Lu Qingqing was not convinced and wanted to have a battle with Ling Feng.
If she lost, she, Lu Qingqing, would immediately retire.
If she won, then Ling Feng would marry her!
The final result was, of course, Lu Qingqing's defeat. Their simulated war lasted only two hours before Lu Qingqing was utterly routed!
Lu Qingqing was extremely embarrassed and angry at that time.
She also understood the true gap between her and Ling Feng.
She chose to retire on the spot.
Ling Feng didn't even dare to try and persuade her. Given this woman's ferocity, if he tried to persuade her, she would definitely misunderstand that he actually had improper intentions towards her.
It was better to cut ties decisively, so Ling Feng truly didn't say a word of persuasion at that time!
This made Lu Qingqing even more ashamed and angry. She even declared that her years of assisting Ling Feng, shedding blood and sweat, had been in vain. If Ling Feng ever fell into her hands, she would make him pay!
And now...
This situation seemed to be a case of Ling Feng falling into her hands!
Yang Fei naturally knew the whole story and shook his head with a wry smile, "Back then, General Lu was deeply devoted to you, Heavenly Venerate, but she was just too assertive, so..."
"Do you need to tell me all this? Once she sets her mind on something, she won't give up easily!"
Ling Feng rebuked Yang Fei coldly.
Yang Fei quickly shut his mouth, but then he came to his senses from Ling Feng's words!
"You mean..."
"Yes, Lu Qingqing found Li Tianjiao. She probably intentionally got the spiritual herb in advance, just to lure me here!"
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly.
This was the real reason for his distress.
Unknowingly, he had been outmaneuvered by this woman.
If this were a battle, he was already at a disadvantage and in a very passive position!
Hiss!
Yang Fei immediately gasped.
One might be able to escape if targeted by a tigress, but if targeted by China's number one female general, even if Ling Feng wanted to escape, he would have to shed some skin!
