Chapter 2159: Chapter 2158: Investigation
Ling Feng spent over a day conducting the background investigation with Gu Li and Ah Min.
Ah Min lived up to expectations, slowly piecing together a complete relationship map from the fragnted information online.
The ng Shan company was established over a hundred years ago, and its capital and actual controllers had changed several tis, having been fully acquired five years ago to beco a subsidiary of a consortium in Germany.
The details of these exchanges of interests are probably only known to insiders, and can’t be found on the internet.
The Bai Corporation, which acquired ng Shan, is also a huge transnational company, actually controlling assets worth trillions of US Dollars, and involved in dozens of industries.
The reason it took so long was mainly spent investigating this Bai Corporation’s background.
But despite the complexities, Ling Feng didn’t give up, vowing to uncover the truth and see who is really manipulating the ng Shan company.
Whether or not there are any other cris, just the fact of collaborating with the Aricans to manufacture a virus is enough to sentence them to death!
After the relationship chain and interest chain were clarified, Ling Feng prepared to leave Lingyun Island and head straight to Germany.
This ti he couldn’t go alone as many materials needed to be obtained by hacking into the Bai Corporation’s internal network, so he had to take Ah Min with him.
However, Ah Min proposed that they could take Yao along to Europe.
Ling Feng didn’t understand why she requested this and asked, "The two of us would be enough, why take her along?"
"She knows more technical stuff than I do, in case we encounter a defense system I can’t penetrate, she can help!" Ah Min said confidently.
"Is that so? Then I’ll take her, and you stay on Lingyun Island!" Ling Feng said.
"..."
Ah Min, speechless, pouted and said angrily, "Boss, you’ve changed, you’re teasing
on purpose!"
"Hehe, no, no, just kidding with you."
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "If you want to take her, then go find her and see if she’s available."
"Okay!"
Ah Min’s displeasure vanished instantly, and she imdiately ran to the teleportation point.
"Boss, this task shouldn’t be too hard, as long as we catch the key person and get evidence from them, but there’s one issue we must tackle."
Gu Li looked at Ling Feng at this mont: "I’ve thought it through, the Fort Deburg base incident in Arica didn’t stir up any waves online, soone must be manipulating things behind the scenes, controlling the dissemination of information, we need to be wary of this!"
"We misjudged the first wave, let’s not repeat that with the second one. Have soone investigate and see if we can uncover the mastermind and study so counterasures!" Ling Feng said.
"Got it!"
Gu Li nodded.
Ah Min soon returned with Yao.
Upon eting and discussing the purpose of the trip, Yao smiled and said, "It’s such a simple matter, no need for
to tag along!"
"Yeah, but Ah Min insists, just treat it as a sightseeing trip." Ling Feng laughed.
Yao looked at Ah Min with so surprise, seeing her looking innocent, as if it’s nothing, sighed and nodded, "Alright then."
The three quickly set out, arriving in a European plantation base through teleportation, then switching to Ghost Dragon for travel, soon reaching Germany.
As for the country, Ling Feng’s impression was average, they’ve been relatively low-key in recent years, not much associating with Aricans, nor overly active on the international stage, hence not particularly annoying.
Yet, Germany was infamously notorious for starting wars that caused global havoc, and even though decades have passed, history should not be forgotten.
After Ghost Dragon crossed the border, they headed straight southwest towards a world-renowned heavy industry city.
On the way, Ling Feng introduced Yao to the task’s purpose, mainly to find a man nad Hans.
This person is the actual controller of ng Shan Company and also the vice president of Bai Corporation, having significant influence in the entire consortium.
Finding this person would likely yield a lot of valuable intelligence, and even expose all the dirt on Bai and ng Shan Companies.
The task sounded simple, but after hearing this, Yao pondered for a mont and said, "I suddenly feel it may not be that simple."
"Oh? Why?" Ling Feng asked.
Yao smiled, then shook her head, "I’m not sure, it’s just a feeling."
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng smiled as well, then said, "Once we get there, we’ll naturally find out if it’s a tough job!"
Ghost Dragon didn’t fly for long before the three arrived near the city, then landed in a forested area.
Yao and Ah Min didn’t need to disguise themselves, but Ling Feng found it necessary to change his appearance; otherwise, if he showed up and got recognized, any significant events afterward would easily be linked to his doing it here.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, altering his appearance was crucial.
As for Ah Min and Yao, they didn’t need to follow Ling Feng into the city, just appearing at the critical mont would suffice, so they both went into the Jade Token Space.
When Ling Feng walked out of the woods, he had already transford into a blond, blue-eyed German.
The only shortcoming was that he couldn’t speak the local language yet.
So now Ling Feng had an additional task, which was to hang around crowded places, listen to people’s conversations, and pick up their language.
This wasn’t too difficult actually, as it was currently evening, and the city was bustling, with many small taverns by the streets bubbling with noise and excitent.
Stepping into one of the pubs, Ling Feng glanced around and saw that all the patrons were stout, with beards and large bellies, their most distinct features.
They each held a beer, drinking and chatting, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Ling Feng didn’t buy a drink but stood at the entrance for a while.
At that mont, soone suddenly approached, evaluated Ling Feng up and down, then asked, "Kid, you’re from out of town, right?"
Having mastered so of the language, Ling Feng nodded slightly, said yes, and didn’t say much more.
The person laughed heartily, warmly patting his shoulder, "I knew you weren’t a local, co, let
buy you a drink!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised, staring at him, asking puzzled, "Why?"
"You’re from out of town, that makes you our guest!"
The chubby man laughed heartily, not seeing himself as an outsider, and dragged him to the bar, slapping the counter and shouting to the bartender inside, "Give
two beers; I’m treating our guest!"
Ling Feng was dazed, thinking that people here are really this hospitable?
