Chapter 948: Chapter 948 New Mission
It has to be said, Banaās identity as the Thai National Teacherās disciple gave her a chance to barely hang on.
However, her two personal guards were not so lucky.
Ling Fengās two slaps earlier had already gravely injured them, making it impossible for them to return to their peak strength in this lifetime. That could be considered a lesson for Bana.
"By the way, what did you give Bana to eat at the end?" Yun Hanrui asked curiously.
Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Nothing much, just a sour plum candy. Just to scare her."
Yun Hanrui breathed a sigh of relief: "Ling Feng, letās go home. Iām starving!"
Ling Feng gently ruffled Yun Hanruiās silky hair and said, "Letās go. Iām starving too. Everythingās finally resolved today, letās head home."
Before leaving, Ling Feng glanced at the hotel where Bana was staying: "I hope youāll be sensible about this. You wouldnāt really think it was just sour plum candy, would you?"
Back at the villa, Liu Tingyu and the others had already prepared the meal.

That night, Yun Hanrui put on the sexy lingerie she had bought earlier and sneaked into Ling Fengās bedroom.
Ambushed by Yun Hanrui, Ling Feng quickly turned the tables, leaving her utterly defeated.
When morning came, Yun Hanrui woke up only to realize Ling Feng had already gotten up, and even Liu Tingyu and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Oh no, itās already so late." Yun Hanrui checked the time and hurriedly got up. The two of them had fought until the latter half of the night before sleeping, which explained Yun Hanrui waking up so late.
Ring ring. Yun Hanruiās phone rang. As she answered it, Ling Fengās teasing voice came through: "Sweetheart, just waking up now? Are you trying to steal a few moments of leisure?"
Yun Hanrui pouted: "What are you talking about? Itās all your fault. Iām not talking to you now, I need to head to work."
"Skip work today. Stay home and rest." Ling Feng said, "Iāve already spoken to Ting Yu on your behalf..."
"Ah..." Yun Hanrui froze: "So Ting Yu knows?"
"Yup. When you came over last night, you didnāt close the door properly, and your voice was so loud they all heard it." Ling Feng said with a chuckle.
"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing." Yun Hanrui felt her face burning like it was on fire.
Even though they had already shared the same bed, she still felt so shy. Ling Feng shook his head, finding her hard to understand.
"By the way, I need to tell you something. The Chen Family has already been taken into custody and investigated by the Dragon Group. Within a week, the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group will be entirely acquired. Before that happens, youāll need to organize the personnel to take over the Chen Familyās research team..."
After giving Yun Hanrui a few instructions over the phone, Ling Feng hung up. Initially flustered, Yun Hanrui failed to notice anything unusual about Ling Feng.
Back at the Dragon Group Base, Ling Feng returned to the Dragon King Long Guangyiās office, where he said with a touch of resignation, "Master, do you really want to push me out like this? Iāve only been back for a few days."
Long Guangyi chuckled lightly and said, "Whatās the matter? Feeling dissatisfied? As the old saying goes, āWhen the master needs something done, the disciple must bear the labor.ā Iām here working myself dizzy while youāre on Panlong Mountain enjoying yourself without a care. Isnāt that a bit inappropriate?"
Ling Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, isnāt this a bit too rushed? Iāve only been back for a few daysācanāt you at least give me a bit of time to rest?"
Long Guangyi said leisurely, "Sure. Iāll give you three days to prepare. After three days, you can set out. Howās that sound?"
Ling Feng replied with a hint of grievance, "What if I say no?"
Long Guangyi didnāt respond but simply gave Ling Feng a calm gaze.
Ling Feng shook his head: "Fine, I got it. Iāll follow the arrangements. If thereās nothing else, Iāll take my leave."
Saying this, Ling Feng turned and left without any unnecessary hesitation.
After Ling Feng left, Liu Chengfeng walked in and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, arenāt you afraid Ling Feng might actually refuse?"
Long Guangyi sighed and said, "Although I havenāt known Ling Feng for long, I understand heās not the type to do that. Honestly, Iām growing increasingly eager to make him my true disciple instead of this superficial relationship. But..."
"But Ling Feng would rather reject the Dragon God Technique cultivation method than have too deep of a connection with you," Liu Chengfeng said with a grin.
Long Guangyi was slightly taken aback and retorted irritably, "Senior Brother, are you here just to make fun of me?"
Liu Chengfeng chuckled and ignored Long Guangyiās complaints: "Want me to discreetly drop some hints and help persuade Ling Feng?"
Long Guangyi snorted and said, "Forget it. I know how to train my own disciple. I refuse to believe thereās anyone in this world who can fully reject the allure of the Dragon God Technique. Ling Fengāheās a disciple Iām determined to have."
Liu Chengfeng shrugged. "Suit yourself. But I reckon your chances arenāt great. By the way, does this mission have to rely on Ling Feng?"
Long Guangyi shook his head: "This mission isnāt particularly difficultāthere are plenty of people in the Dragon Group who can handle it. But I still feel more confident leaving it to Ling Feng. Besides, I have a hunch this mission isnāt as simple as it seems in the intelligence report."
Liu Chengfeng picked up the intel report on the desk and said, "The International Special Abilities Organization has always adhered to a peaceful, low-key development approach. For them to issue a rare call for assistance this timeāis there something fishy about it?"
"Itās hard to say right now. But since the International Special Abilities Organization claims to have found traces of the Red-eyed White Tiger, we have to investigate this matter," Long Guangyi said thoughtfully.
The Red-eyed White Tiger is a mythical Divine Beast of the South American continent, known for its mastery of slaughter and death. Legend has it that they can only be found among the wreckage of blood-strewn Death Valley.
But this is only a legendāno one has ever truly seen the shadow of a Red-eyed White Tiger. Recently, however, members of the International Special Abilities Organization allegedly discovered traces of the Red-eyed White Tiger on the South American continent.
Even more terrifying, the two members who discovered the Red-eyed White Tiger were attacked by it. Just before dying, they managed to transmit its image.
"Two A-grade peak Psychic Masters managed to hold out less than three seconds under the White Tigerās attack. If this is true, itās unbelievably horrifying."
A glimmer of unusual concern flashed in Long Guangyiās eyes: "I suspect this Red-eyed White Tiger might be a scheme from Hellās Gateāor perhaps some other mysterious organizations are beginning to emerge?"
Hearing this, Liu Chengfengās expression grew serious: "If thatās the case, we truly need to investigate this thoroughly. Letās hope itās just your needless worry."
Long Guangyi sighed deeply: "Letās hope so."
