Chapter 673: Everyone stay in the water!
"Can’t beat me?"
Sun Qiang’s voice rose several octaves, and he felt even more embarrassed!
Turning to look at Ling Feng, he couldn’t help but ask, "Who are you?"
Ling Feng: "I am your nemesis!"
"What do you mean?" Sun Qiang was dumbfounded.
Ling Feng laughed softly and, without any visible movement, had already slapped Sun Qiang across the face.
"Smack!"
Like the final crack of a whip, the crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the swimming hall!
Sun Qiang, weighing over 150 pounds, spun around twice on the spot before coming to a stop, one side of his face instantly resembling a pig’s head!
"Now that I’ve hit you, I guess that makes me your nemesis, right?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
The bystanders were all stupefied. Was there even such a way of doing things?
Sun Qiang too was baffled, first by the shock of being hit, and then by Ling Feng’s attitude!
At that moment, he wore an expression of terror, covering his face: "You, you dare to hit me..."
Ling Feng scoffed: "Hitting you is to teach you a lesson, to remember not to bully others just because you think you’ve got some money, snatching guys and dominating girls!"
"I, I never..."
"Still won’t admit it? You’re using the debt others owe you to force An Xue to marry you, if that’s not snatching guys and dominating girls what is?"
Ling Feng sneered, looking at Sun Qiang’s swollen face: "It’s her father who owes you money, why don’t you go after him and instead come after An Xue, what right do you have?"
"This..."
Sun Qiang was at a loss for words; everyone understood his intentions, which were simply to pressure An Xue into submission, and when it came down to it, his actions were completely indefensible.
Yu Nan watched from the side with a grin, thinking to himself that their leader was truly formidable. When it was time to take action, he never hesitated. Surely now this Sun guy would stay in line, right?
Just as he was thinking this, a commotion came from outside, followed by another four or five people barging in.
There were not many people around the pool to begin with, but with one group after another arriving, there were now more than twenty people present.
The man who entered was in his fifties; as soon as he walked in and saw Sun Qiang, he immediately went up to him: "Oh, young master Sun, you’re here!"
"Pretending to be uninformed, Old He, I’m asking you, how are we going to deal with today’s matter?" Sun Qiang narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
This Old He was the owner of the swimming hall. As a businessman, he was naturally very shrewd, knowing which kind of people needed to be flattered and which shouldn’t be provoked.
Seeing Sun Qiang’s face swollen up high, he knew what had happened and quickly said with a smile: "Don’t worry, young master Sun, I’ll make sure to give you a satisfactory answer!"
After saying that, he turned to An Xue: "You are fired!"
"What?"
An Xue was stunned, her mind went blank!
"What do you mean ’what’? You even dare to offend young master Sun, truly ungrateful. Not only are you fired from here, but you can also forget about finding work in any swimming hall in the county in the future!" Old He barked sternly.
"Are you that tyrannical?"
Ling Feng couldn’t listen anymore and asked coldly.
"Who are you? You’re the one who hit young master Sun, right? Don’t go anywhere, boss Wang’s people will be here any minute!" Old He narrowed his eyes and said.
"More people are coming to get beaten up?"
Ling Feng laughed upon hearing this, wondering what was going on. He came here to learn diving, but how did it all get so complicated and unending?
Turning back, he saw An Xue with trembling lips and a face close to tears, and Ling Feng’s heart softened: "Don’t be afraid, this old punk is just trying to scare you. I don’t believe he has the power to stop you from finding a job!"
"Kid, you don’t understand, do you? I’ve been doing business in this county for many years, and I know a lot of people. It’s as simple as a few phone calls," Old He said with a cold laugh.
Ling Feng looked at him: "Really? You bully a girl and still have the nerve to be so self-righteous!"
"Hmph, that’s what she gets for not knowing what’s good for her!" Old He rolled his eyes.
Ling Feng saw through it; this old geezer had also harbored ill intentions towards An Xue but had failed to accomplish them. Now he was taking this opportunity to make things difficult for her.
Understanding this, Ling Feng nodded, "Fine, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll let you see for yourself what happens to those who don’t know their place!"
After speaking, he stepped forward, and Old He, frightened, hastily retreated several steps, nearly tumbling into the swimming pool!
Fortunately, the several people who had come in with him steadied him.
"If you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail. Do you know who’s got my back? The Fierce Tiger Gang!"
Though Old He was scared by Ling Feng, his tone remained defiant as he shouted loudly.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was a bit puzzled, what Fierce Tiger Gang? He had never heard of it before?
He glanced back at Yu Nan, who simply shrugged his shoulders, meaning, if the boss doesn’t know, where would I find out?
Realizing he was asking the wrong person, Ling Feng chuckled and looked back at Old He, "The Fierce Tiger Gang, are they that formidable?"
"Ignorant fool, you don’t even know about them and still dare to strut around?" Old He curled his lips, his face full of disdain.
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless, accustomed to being adored wherever he went, and to think he was looked down upon in this small swimming hall?
He scoffed, "Go to hell with your Fierce dad!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he struck like lightning—Old He was instantly kicked into the water, and those who came with him met the same fate.
After dealing with those few, he turned back to look at Triangle-Eye and the rest.
"Bro, I had nothing to do with this!"
Triangle-Eye was bewildered. Seeing Ling Feng’s unfriendly gaze, he quickly disassociated himself.
"I just find you annoying!"
Ling Feng said and kicked again, sending him and the others splashing into the water as well.
On the poolside, aside from An Xue and Yu Nan, only Sun Qiang remained.
"You, don’t come any closer, my father’s people will be here any minute!"
Sun Qiang said, his face on alert as he took two steps back.
"I know, so you might as well wait with them!"
Ling Feng sneered, kicking him squarely in the chest. Sun Qiang let out a miserable scream as he was sent flying backward into the pool.
Looking at the people in the water, Ling Feng said coldly, "Stay in there and soak quietly. If anyone dares to get out before this matter is settled, I’ll kick them back in!"
The drenched group were dumbfounded.
After that kick just now, they were in so much pain they nearly passed out; they did not want to go through that again.
They looked at each other, not daring to utter a word.
Ling Feng glanced at the others who had been in the pool earlier and called out loudly, "This has nothing to do with you all, hurry up and leave!"
Those people had wanted to leave all along but hadn’t found the opportunity. They scrambled out of the pool, relieved, and headed toward the changing rooms.
Wang Hao also cautiously approached, and Ling Feng looked at him: "What, you don’t want to play the hero anymore?"
"I..."
Wang Hao’s face flushed with embarrassment; he managed a strained smile: "I’d rather not get involved."
"So you’re also the kind who bullies the weak and fears the strong? I thought you were upright, but it’s all just an act, huh? Get lost!" Ling Feng scoffed.
Wang Hao turned pale, not daring to say a word, and hurriedly slunk off to the changing room.
