The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 290: Cried Out Loud

Ling Feng took Miao Ruoruo’s pulse again to make sure she was unharmed, and then said, "You rest at home, I’m going out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

Miao Ruoruo and Miao Lanlan asked simultaneously.

"I’m going to find Zhang Lan, there are some questions I want to ask her!" Ling Feng replied.

"Then, will you come back tonight?" Miao Ruoruo asked.

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, "Yes, I’ll rush back as soon as possible, but don’t wait up for me, go to sleep early."

"Alright," Miao Ruoruo nodded.

As he turned to leave, Miao Lanlan stood up and said, "I’ll go with you!"

"Huh?"

Ling Feng turned back in surprise and asked, "What are you going for?"

"I don’t have anything else to do, that Lin Xue and that Chu Bo, I want to know what’s really going on with them too!" Miao Lanlan stated righteously.

Ling Feng wanted to refuse, but he opened his mouth and, failing to come up with a good reason, at this time Miao Ruoruo also said, "Just let Lanlan go with you. When something happens, it’s always good to clear up who exactly we’re dealing with."

"Well, alright, we do need a driver anyway!"

Ling Feng nodded, sensing that she was saying this on purpose to give him and Miao Lanlan a chance to be alone together.

But now, where was his head at, his thoughts were all about the questions surrounding Lin Xue’s identity.

After going downstairs, he got into Miao Lanlan’s car, and the two of them headed back to the county town.

Upon finding Zhang Lan’s room in the hotel and knocking on the door, when she saw Ling Feng arriving with Miao Lanlan, she paused for a moment and then smiled, "You’re here, please come in."

There was no one else in the room, and after sitting down, Ling Feng asked, "Sis, who exactly is Lin Xue? Isn’t she just a cop from the provincial city?"

"I don’t know about that; I met her for the first time today. I asked someone about it earlier, and all I know is that she’s a cop, no other clues," Zhang Lan shook her head.

"All right, then what about that guy surnamed Chu? How much do you know about him?" Ling Feng continued to inquire.

Zhang Lan replied with slight embarrassment, "I’m not clear on that either..."

Ling Feng was instantly speechless; even she hadn’t heard of him. It seemed that if he wanted to know the backgrounds of these two individuals, he would have to wait until Lin Xue herself spoke up.

"But I do know something," Zhang Lan added. She looked at Miao Lanlan, then at Ling Feng, and said, "The construction project we’re doing in Wanshou, I’m afraid it’s not as simple as just a power station!"

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Ling Feng was taken aback and immediately asked.

"Compared to other power station blueprints, the design here is quite different; the space reserved under the dam is too large; it doesn’t make sense to have such a big space there!" Zhang Lan explained.

"Really? So you mean the reserved space might have another purpose?" Ling Feng asked.

"It should, so I’m guessing there’s a big organization behind Lin Xue. As for what it is, that remains unknown!" Zhang Lan nodded.

The more Ling Feng thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and he couldn’t help but smile wryly, "She really is a mysterious person, isn’t she!"

As he was talking, his phone rang, and the caller was none other than Lin Xue.

Upon seeing the caller, Ling Feng immediately answered and asked, "You looking for me?"

"Where are you, at Miao Family’s home?" Lin Xue inquired.

"No, I’m in the county town. Is there something you need?" Ling Feng asked.

His tone was very calm, without a trace of emotion, and Lin Xue was silent for a moment before she finally said softly, "I know you’re upset with me, but I didn’t expect today’s events to happen either!"

"I’m not upset; I’m just curious, that’s all!" Ling Feng said lightly.

There was silence again from Lin Xue’s side, and after a few seconds, she said, "Then come see me. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you everything!"

"Alright, where are you?"

Ling Feng’s mouth curved upward as he thought to himself that if she was willing to talk, things would be easier.

Lin Xue: "Dongfang Hotel, Room 1818. Come by yourself!"

"Okay, I’ll be there soon!"

After Ling Feng hung up the phone, he stood up and said, "I’m going to find Lin Xue."

"I’m coming too!" Miao Lanlan immediately stood up to follow.

Ling Feng glanced at her, "You wait here. She doesn’t want to see anyone else. I’ll come right back after I’ve asked her!"

Miao Lanlan didn’t like that upon hearing it. Just as she was about to speak up, Zhang Lan pulled her aside, "Listen to Ling Feng, let him go alone!"

"Fine."

Miao Lanlan, feeling helpless, knew that insisting further would be a bit too much and reluctantly sat back down.

Ling Feng went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Dongfang Hotel.

Upon seeing Lin Xue, his first question was, "Who exactly are you?"

"Sit down first, then we’ll talk."

Lin Xue smiled, returned to the living room sofa, and sat down.

Then she looked into Ling Feng’s eyes, "Actually, my business trip wasn’t for an investigation but for matters related to the construction project."

"I already know that. Tell me something I don’t know!" Ling Feng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue straightened up and stared directly at him, "Why are you so cold? Do you have your guard up against me?"

"What do you think?"

Ling Feng asked with a light smile.

"From the time I met you till now, although we haven’t had much contact, we have gone through life and death together. Don’t you trust me yet?"

Lin Xue’s eyes suddenly reddened as she asked with a hint of hurt. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Seeing her like this, Ling Feng felt a sting of pity and awkwardly chuckled, "I didn’t say I don’t trust you. It’s just that today’s events have changed my understanding of you, so I’m just curious, that’s all!"

"I came here to explain to you, but you’re acting this way!" Lin Xue said, getting angrier by the minute, and tears began to fall.

Ling Feng was immediately flustered at the sight and didn’t know what to say.

Seeing his discomfited face, Lin Xue took a deep breath, trying hard to control her emotions, "I’ll tell you everything you want to know today. I thought we were friends by now, but it seems I was just conceited!"

"Don’t say that, blame me, is it okay to blame me?" Ling Feng was startled, realizing by her harsh words that she was truly upset!

Lin Xue didn’t speak, pouting and sulking, while tears kept streaming down incessantly, leaving Ling Feng dumbfounded.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. He felt utterly helpless in his heart; he had intended to discuss things straightforwardly, but how had it turned into this situation so quickly?

After a long silence, Lin Xue’s emotions finally calmed down somewhat. She turned to look at Ling Feng, who was scratching his head and blushing, and softly said, "Forget it, I won’t hold it against you!"

"That’s great, thank you. It’s all my fault; it’s best if you’re not angry!"

Ling Feng, feeling as if he had been pardoned, quickly said with a smile.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Xue’s lips curved slightly, and then she gave him a blank look, "What do you want to know? Ask me!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng’s mind was a bit in disarray as he scratched his head, "Aren’t you a police officer? How come you’ve also become the principal of that hydropower station project?"

"It has to do with my other identity!"

Lin Xue said, reaching into her clothing pocket and pulling out an ID.
