My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 342: Chapter 0341: Tracking (Part 1)_1
 

Duanmu Linglong walked back to her office like a walking corpse.

The pain on her face was still burning.

The slap from Duanmu Kuang hit not only her face but also her heart.

Why was Murong Feng here?

What exactly had her father done to him?

Could her father really be a member of the Beast Organization?

In her mind, she repeatedly thought of her father’s behavior over the past year, which had become much more secretive than before.

Just then, the door to the office was pushed open.

Duanmu Kuang walked in.

As if she had known that he would come, Duanmu Linglong didn’t speak.

Duanmu Kuang also remained silent, sat down in front of her, and father and daughter sat face to face without their gazes ever meeting.

Like two complete strangers.

After a long while, Duanmu Kuang finally spoke.

“Dad knows you hate me, but I have my compelling reasons. I didn’t want to do this either, but I had to,” he said.

“What a compelling reason,”

Duanmu Linglong scoffed coldly through her nose.

“How much did the Beast Organization offer you? Did they help you against Murong Feng to secure you the position of Lingnan’s Divine Doctor? Or did they give you a sum of money for you to gain more fame and fortune?”

“Is that the kind of man you think your dad is?” Duanmu Kuang said angrily.

“I don’t want to believe it either, but that’s the reality. Otherwise, why would the National Security Agency be investigating you? Why would you have imprisoned Murong Feng? If I’m not mistaken, they initially approached Murong Feng, who refused and was then crippled by them, and afterward, they turned to you, for you to replace Murong Feng. I thought you were only inferior to Murong Feng in medical skill, but it seems you can’t even compare to his character…”

“Shut your mouth,” he commanded.

“Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you thinking of hitting me again?”

Tears suddenly filled Duanmu Linglong’s face as she stared at him and said, “I never asked my dad to be famous or to be rich; I just hoped he would be a good person. I can’t believe you are actually a member of the Beast Organization. Don’t you realize how infamous they are?”

“I had no choice, you’ve never seen their methods. If I hadn’t helped them, would I still be able to stand here properly? Would you still be able to live a good life? And your mom, your brother, they would all be in danger,” he explained.

“Why could Murong Feng do it, then?”

“And that’s why he ended up a cripple…”

“I’d rather have a father who is a cripple than one who is utterly reprehensible,” she asserted.

“Dad has never killed an innocent person,” he said.

“But you’ve saved many evildoers and murderers. What you’re doing is no different from killing,” she countered.

Duanmu Kuang was silent for a long time.

He knew his daughter, so righteous since she was little, and he had always been careful not to let her find out. Still, in the end, she had discovered the truth.

“No matter what you think of your dad, even if I could choose again, I would make the same choice. I cannot be as noble as Murong Feng, who doesn’t compromise even at the cost of his family’s and his own life. I don’t love my country or people as much as he does. You can call me selfish, you can call me evil, but as long as I can protect my family, I would offend the whole world without hesitation. If you still hate me, there’s nothing I can do about it,” he said.

After finishing, Duanmu Kuang turned and left the office, his eyes also moistened.

Duanmu Linglong watched him leave, silent for a long time.

Suddenly, an idea took shape in her mind.

If she found Ghost and had the National Security Bureau capture him, then her father wouldn’t be threatened anymore. In that case, even if her father was caught, he would have been coerced, so he probably wouldn’t be sentenced for long.

Thinking this way, she decided to follow her father and find out Ghost’s whereabouts.

Duanmu Kuang drove off, completely unaware that behind him a motorcycle was following.

Duanmu Ba drove to Duanmu Second Hospital, and at the entrance of the hospital, he met his brother Duanmu Ba.

“Brother, the boss is waiting for you upstairs, and he seems very angry. Be careful,” Duanmu Ba whispered to him.

“I know.”

Duanmu Kuang walked toward the inpatient building, where there was also a VIP inpatient building.

Passing through layers of guarded barricades, he arrived at the fifth floor and, after opening an iron door, he went in.

The person living inside was none other than Long Tianya.

As soon as Duanmu Kuang entered, Long Tianya’s gaze fell on him as he said coldly, “What exactly happened? How did Reaper find this place?”

“A new employee started working in the inpatient department building. I found out he was Reaper, and I informed you immediately. We planned to use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to transfer Murong Feng. I didn’t expect to be discovered, and Murong Feng was even taken away…”

Slap!

A fierce slap landed on his face.

“You ruined my big plans,” Long Tianya roared in anger, still not pacified, he kicked Duanmu Kuang twice, knocking him to the ground. “I had arranged this for so long, just a dozen or so days away, I told you to be careful, and still, you messed it up.”

After being savagely knocked to the ground, Duanmu Kuang had no temper at all, quickly scrambled up, knelt on the ground, and pleaded, “Boss, please calm down, your body isn’t fully recovered yet.”

“One wrong move and the whole game is lost. I can’t accept this!”

Ghost fell silent for a moment, then spoke to Duanmu Kuang after a long while, “Send everyone out immediately to track down Reaper and Murong Feng. We must find them alive or dead, and absolutely cannot allow Murong Feng to return to Y City alive.”

“I will send people to take care of it right away.”

“If you can’t find them, don’t think about getting the antidote next month,” Long Tianya waved his arm in anger and commanded, “Get out.”

Duanmu Kuang stood up, ready to leave, when suddenly the room was pushed open.

A young man with triangular eyes that made him look like a woman walked in and spoke to Long Tianya, “Master, someone has been sneakily following us to the hospital.”

Long Tianya walked to the computer and opened up a surveillance feed, only to see a woman standing behind a pillar, quietly looking this way.

Seeing the image of Duanmu Linglong, Duanmu Kuang’s mind went blank.

“Duanmu Kuang, this seems to be your daughter,” Long Tianya spoke coldly.

“It’s my daughter, she might be coming to look for me,” Duanmu Kuang said hastily.

“How come I’ve heard that your daughter is involved with Reaper? Duanmu Kuang, you’ve become bolder and bolder. Are you even daring to deceive me?” Long Tianya shouted.

“Boss, it’s truly not related to my daughter,” Duanmu Kuang said anxiously.

Clang!

A short dagger was thrown onto the table, and Long Tianya spoke coldly, “Sort it out yourself. If you don’t dare to do it, have Sanyao take care of it.”

Duanmu Kuang’s face turned ashen, as he stared at the dagger without moving.

Killing his own daughter was something he absolutely couldn’t bring himself to do.

Seeing that he didn’t move, the triangular-eyed young man picked up the dagger on the table and walked out.

“Boss, please, Linglong is still young and doesn’t understand, she didn’t mean to go against you on purpose,” Duanmu Kuang pleaded.

“Shut up! If you say another word, I’ll deal with you too,” Long Tianya said coldly.
