Chapter 674: Deadlock
After everyone had cleared out, Ling Feng looked at An Xue, "Don’t worry, I’ve got today’s situation under control!"
Having seen his performance just now, An Xue knew that Ling Feng was no ordinary person, so she felt somewhat relieved. She then asked, "May I know your surname?"
"My name is Ling Feng, no need to be so formal."
"Thank you for today, but that Boss Sun and the Fierce Tiger Gang aren’t to be trifled with. Mr. Ling, you should leave quickly," said An Xue.
"After all this, why leave? Just wait and see!"
Ling Feng smiled, turned his head to look at a bench nearby, and went to sit down.
An Xue bit her lip, not daring to look at the people in the swimming pool, and followed him.
Later, she sat down next to Ling Feng, maintaining roughly a meter’s distance. After hesitating for a long time, An Xue finally spoke up, "No matter what, thank you for today."
"No need to be upset, I simply can’t stand seeing people bully others with their power," said Ling Feng with a smile, then he asked, "By the way, what’s the deal with your father?"
"He..."
An Xue hadn’t finished her sentence when someone from the changing room shouted, "Little Xue, Little Xue!"
With the voice, a balding man in his forties walked in.
Just by looking at his haggard face and bloodshot eyes, it was clear who this man was!
Indeed, as soon as An Xue saw him, she immediately stood up nervously, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"Quick, give me some money, do you have a thousand? If not, eight hundred will do!" the man said urgently, reaching out for money from his daughter.
"I, I haven’t received my salary yet, I don’t have any money on me!" said An Xue.
"Don’t lie to me, you make seven to eight thousand a month, how can you not have any money? Did you spend it on some pretty boy?" the man asked loudly.
Just hearing this sentence was enough for Ling Feng, who then stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed the man’s collar, "So you are An Xue’s father?"
"Who are you? Let go of me, or I’ll call the police!" the man was startled, struggling and yelling.
"Call the police my ass, into the water you go!"
Without a second thought, Ling Feng kicked him straight into the pool.
An Xue’s father was in poor physical condition, having stayed up late playing cards for long periods and frequently smoking and drinking. He fainted in mid-air from the impact of the kick!
Only after sinking into the water and choking twice did he come to, struggling to surface. Just as he was about to curse, he realized that around ten people were staring at him with odd expressions!
"You all..."
Among these people, he recognized Sun Qiang and the man with slanted eyes, who were in fact his own bosses. After a pause, he hurriedly asked, "Young Master Sun, what are you doing here?"
Sun Qiang: "..."
Seeing her father being hit, a shiver ran through An Xue.
However, soon after, she inexplicably felt a sense of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders!
Ling Feng looked at her, "You won’t blame me for hitting him, will you?"
"I..."
An Xue lowered her head, wanting to say she wouldn’t, but feeling a bit odd about it, so she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Ling Feng looked at her and said nothing more, taking out his phone to find Zhang Jianhua’s number.
As soon as the call connected, Ling Feng immediately asked, "Captain Zhang, have you heard of the Fierce Tiger Gang?"
"Hm?"
Upon being asked such a question, Zhang Jianhua was a bit bewildered and asked doubtfully, "I’ve heard of it, what does Mr. Ling want with this information?"
"It seems I’ve annoyed them, along with a certain Mr. Sun, who claims to be the richest man in the county. Do you know about this man?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
"Uh, I’ve heard of him too, what’s the situation?" Zhang Jianhua asked, puzzled.
Ling Feng laughed, "It’s no big deal, I just beat up that rich guy’s son and by the way, gave a thrashing to some old fellow who claimed to know the Fierce Tiger Gang..."
"Where are you, Mr. Ling?"
Hearing what he said, Zhang Jianhua’s tone changed, knowing that the situation was definitely not as simple as Ling Feng described.
In Zhang Jianhua’s view, Ling Feng was a man who acted ruthlessly. He would not be courteous when facing injustice or evil people. It was likely that there might already be fatalities at the scene!
So his heart clenched in an instant, and he quickly asked.
"Oriental Building, there’s a swimming pool in the restaurant, that’s where I am!" Ling Feng said.
"I’ll be there right away!"
It was almost time to get off work, but Zhang Jianhua did not dare to delay. He hung up the phone, started to mobilize personnel, and then set off with several police cars.
On Ling Feng’s end, after hanging up the phone, he looked at old He and Sun Qiang and others in the swimming pool, "Hey, when are your people arriving?"
People looked at each other, and old He couldn’t help but ask, "Who were you calling just now?"
"A police friend of mine, why?" Ling Feng asked.
Old He’s face changed, and he bent down to reach for his phone, only to find that water had gotten into it and it couldn’t be used at all.
Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled, "What? Want to make a call and tell people not to come?"
Old He: "..."
Both his and his men’s phones were unusable, making it impossible to contact the outside world!
Unless they leave the pool now and go to the front desk to use a landline!
But obviously, if they get out of the water at this moment, they would undoubtedly be kicked back by Ling Feng!
So the situation was already beyond retrieval.
Old He’s eyes whirled, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "You are Mr. Ling, right? Look, we don’t really have any deep hatred, it’s just a misunderstanding. Why make things so stiff?"
Ling Feng looked at him, "You didn’t sound like that just now. What’s the matter, got scared?"
Seeing old He bow his head without speaking, Ling Feng sneered and continued, "Weren’t you boasting about knowing a lot of people just now? With connections all over the county, you’re actually afraid of the police? That’s funny!"
"..."
Ling Feng’s laughter echoed in the swimming pool, and no one spoke, nor did they know what to say.
Even Sun Qiang was a bit confused by now, aware that talking too much might lead to a beating, it was better to play dumb.
He didn’t care about the Fierce Tiger Gang’s affairs at all, now he just hoped that his father would come quickly with support, perhaps they could still smooth things over with Ling Feng!
At that time, he could take the opportunity to retaliate for the slaps he had received!
Sun Qiang’s wait wasn’t long, for right after Ling Feng finished mocking old He, a rush of footsteps was heard from outside.
Soon after, six men in suits surrounded a short and chubby man as they barged in.
Seeing these people, Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "Soon the pool’s going to be too crowded!"
An Xue: "..."
She suddenly became very curious about Ling Feng, wondering who he was to remain so calm and composed.
Moreover, from the way he acted earlier, he was not an ordinary person.
With that thought, An Xue’s heart skipped a beat. If he was not an ordinary person, then perhaps she could help him. After all, he had just said that he was in a hurry to learn to dive, which must mean he had some important business to attend to, right?
