Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 710 - 0712: Kidnapping in Broad Daylight

Chu Feng’s question was rather difficult to answer. Indeed, if you want to catch the leader of a smuggling group, what does that have to do with Shuiyun Restaurant? Why must you insist on leasing Shuiyun Restaurant instead of some other place? There are so many Shuiyun Restaurants and even more hotels, so why set your sights on this particular one?

"This..." Even Old Guo’an was at a loss for words this time.

However, young people think quickly and the young National Security agent soon came up with a response.

"Because according to the information we have, he likes to stay at Shuiyun Restaurant."

One isn’t afraid of a god-like opponent but fears a pig-like teammate.

In Chu Feng’s eyes, this young National Security agent was just such a pig-headed teammate. Chu Feng really wanted to know if there were more agents like him at National Security. If so, it would be best to let them all deal with him in the future; it would save him so much effort.

Pretending to ponder for a moment, Chu Feng asked, "Are you sure? He only stays at Shuiyun Restaurant and nowhere else?"

The young National Security agent, completely unaware that he was being led into a trap, replied directly, "Yes."

He answered so quickly that Old Guo’an didn’t even have the chance to stop him.

Chu Feng said, "If that’s the case, then I think what he really likes is the Shuiyun Restaurant in East River. Since this one is being renovated, I can go back to East River with you. You can lease the Shuiyun Restaurant there. However, it’s the peak tourist season in East River now, so the loss might be greater. You can discuss the price with Boss Dong."

Dong Wanliang was an old hand at this; as soon as Chu Feng spoke up, he immediately went along, saying, "The losses in East River are indeed likely to be greater, but I am willing to bear them for the sake of the country. However, as a small-time businessman, I really can’t afford too much, so let’s reluctantly set it at five million a day."

The seamless cooperation between Chu Feng and Dong Wanliang didn’t even give anyone a chance to interject.

Only when Dong Wanliang had finished speaking did the man get the opportunity to say, "Captain Chu, the intelligence we received indicated that he was coming to Songjiang, not East River."

Chu Feng pointed at the young agent and said, "He was the one who just said that the man will only stay at Shuiyun Restaurant. If he’s someone stubborn, upon seeing the renovations in Songjiang, he will surely head to East River. Besides, getting to the sea from East River is convenient, and so is escaping. It should be his best choice. What if he released false information to mislead you, and in fact, he’s heading to East River?"

Old Guo’an felt even more frustrated with his pig-headed teammate after hearing Chu Feng’s words.

"Captain Chu, it’s possible that our intelligence was not accurate. Let’s drop the matter and go back to verify the info," Old Guo’an said.

Chu Feng nodded, "You definitely need to verify your intelligence, but it’s best if you pay a deposit first. Boss Dong is waiting now to clear out his guests for you."

"If we’re not going ahead with it, why should we pay a deposit?" the young National Security agent asked for a second time.

Chu Feng sneered and retorted, "Is this the work ethic of National Security agents? Don’t you need to set things up in advance when you’re trying to catch someone? If that’s the case, then I think it would be better if you give the information to me, and let Dragon Soul do the capturing."

After pausing for a moment, his tone grew colder, "Of course, if you’re not willing to pay the money, nor share the information. I really must question whether you are deliberately here to make fun of me. If that’s the case, you should know I don’t have a good temper, something I believe you’re aware of."

The threat in Chu Feng’s words was glaringly obvious, leaving the two National Security agents feeling extremely apprehensive.

Chu Feng’s capabilities were no secret within National Security circles. No one knew the exact extent of his Cultivation, but everyone was aware that Chu Feng was not someone you wanted to provoke, and he was very much not to be taken lightly. The fate of those National Security agents who sought out Chu Feng’s assistance before all ended up lamentably.

Being suspended and investigated was one of the better outcomes. Those who were still bedridden were certainly a cautionary tale. freēwēbnovel.com

With a forced smile, Old Guo’an said, "How could we dare to mess around with Captain Chu? Of course, we will rent the hotel. So let’s make a deposit today."

Chu Feng smiled when he heard Old Guo’an’s statement, "That’s what I expect from a public servant who serves the people. Then let’s make a deposit of five million for one day. Boss Dong can help you make the arrangements later. The specific length of stay can be decided then."

With Chu Feng deciding on the amount, Old Guo’an had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill. Five million—he wondered how many years it would take for him to earn that much on his own.

The perks from this operation weren’t even close to that amount.

"Captain Chu, I need to report this to my superiors," Old Guo’an stated.

Chu Feng gestured, "Please do."

Left with no choice as they had no funds, they had to ask for money from their superiors.

Ten minutes later, Old Guo’an returned with a very grim expression.

It was clear he had been scolded, and quite harshly to boot.

"Boss Dong, please give me an account number. We’ll transfer the funds now," Old Guo’an said to Dong Wanliang.

Dong Wanliang glanced at Chu Feng, nodded, and said, "Okay."

After Dong Wanliang provided an account number, it wasn’t long before he received a notification of the incoming funds.

The two National Security agents were allowed to leave only after the transfer was completed.

The whole affair had an air of paying ransom for a hostage. Moreover, it was a sort of lawful and reasonable "kidnapping," where before leaving, they even had to be polite, and possibly thankful for the cooperation, to the "kidnapper."

Once the two National Security agents had left, Dong Wanliang took out a card and said, "Young Master Chu, here is five million."

Chu Feng glanced at it and responded, "It’s your rightful earnings; keep it for yourself. You’ve been quite helpful these days."

Dong Wanliang replied, "Young Master Chu, it’s what I should do. Without you, I’d still be stuck in East River."

Chu Feng waved his hand dismissively, "I help you on the condition that you are someone worthy of assistance. If you’re not, my help would be useless anyway. Let’s not discuss this in the future."

Dong Wanliang nodded, "Young Master Chu, do I still need to clear out the Shuiyun Restaurant in East River for them?"

Chu Feng advised, "Clear it out for a day to avoid any trouble over such trivial matters. But I think they will call you tomorrow to say they no longer need it."

Dong Wanliang took Chu Feng’s advice seriously and made note of it.

"What’s on your mind? Just ask," Chu Feng noticed Dong Wanliang seemed hesitant and prompted him.

Dong Wanliang asked, "Young Master Chu, may I inquire what exactly is going on here?"
