《My Nightclub Landlady》


 Chapter 1 Jungle Battle

    <div>


    In the dense tropical forests of the Golden Triangle, green trees towered towards the sky providing shade from the sun.


    <div>


    It is here that Qin Feng and his "Golden Quad" members: Xiao He, Green Snake, and Green Dragon had been surrounded by mercenaries of the Golden Triangle¡¯s drug traffickers for six days.


    They had run out of ammunition, were scarred, and sensor signals were long gone, leaving them unable to communicate with China.


    They now found themselves in a desperate situation, faced with hundreds of mercenaries doing a thorough search of the area. They were exhausted and it was possible that they couldn¡¯t persist much longer.


    Whoosh.


    Qin Feng leaned up against a towering tree, slicing a python that had climbed on the branch. He grasped the snake¡¯s body that was still moving around, pulled it with one hand to skin it, and put the bloody snake meat directly into its mouth. "Damn, that¡¯s sweet," he said.


    Green Snake was the only woman in the four-person group. She had suffered a severe ankle sprain in battle, which had been dragging down the team''s breakout speed for days. "They''ll definitely surround us from both sides at some point. I''ll hold them down, and you can all escape. The mountain pass located to our 4:00 is an opportunity to cross the Stanb River, where you could all drift towards the Chinese border.


    "No, no one will be left behind. Everyone walk together. We are not only brothers that live and die together, we are also soldiers of the Republic. Tossing my friends aside? I¡¯d rather die!" Said Qin Feng.


    "Agreed. ¡°


    Green Dragon and Xiao He rushed to answer.


    Thump, thump, thump, followed by the sound of a twig snapping.


    At that very moment, they heard the faint sound of footsteps in the distance. The four of them looked at each other anxiously and entered their respective battle positions.


    They soon saw a drug lord mercenary group composed of retired special combat troops from around the world burst in with a submachine gun. The one leading the way was a one-eyed man with a particularly sensitive sense of smell. Once they were about ten meters away from Qin Feng, with the wave of an arm, the team suddenly stopped, "They are in the vicinity, spread the net, parallel forward."


    Close, closer?


    Qin feng hid in the high branches with the help of the thick leaves that were providing cover and fiercely thrust a dart at the enemy. The One-eyed dragon had a sharp response and rolled to the side, barely escaping death.


    However, the four or five people next to him were not so lucky. Darts landed in between their eyebrows, they were dead on the spot.


    Dozens of submachine guns fired towards Qin Feng¡¯s position, but he was long gone. The speed at which he moved was so fast, that over the past few days the invincible mercenary team had suffered several losses.


    Just then, a black shadow appeared on the fallen leaves in front of them. The shadow took the appearance of a massive rabbit holding a double-edged weapon, flying towards the enemy. With a speed the naked eye is unable to see, he slashed away at the arteries of 78 people. Blood spattered everywhere, the scene was a terrible sight. Two submachine guns were picked up with the same speed as the wind, as he disappeared into the dense forest. The one-eyed dragon holding a gun fired a line of bullets through the area, but only managed to hit a tree trunk and the air around it. This shadow was Xiao He, whose weapon of choice were two knives, completely untraceable.


    The injured mercenaries panicked, shooting around with the submachine guns, but even the shadow had disappeared.


    The one-eyed dragon shouted and rebuked, "What are you all getting nervous about? Keep searching!"


    Just then, along their flank, two thick tree trunks flew over them and crashed into the crowd of mercenaries.


    The mercenaries scattered and focused all their attention on their flank, but did not expect the two people that suddenly appeared holding their own submachine guns, mowing them down mercilessly. The Golden Quad didn¡¯t love war, but they were damn good at it. They ran away after every last one in that squadron had been left a bloodied mess on the floor. Green Dragon carried Green Snake into the dense forest, she fired off to her sides with precision shooting, even while retreating she still managed to kill three of the mercenaries.


    It was with these tactics comprised of the elements of surprise, concealment, evasion, and rapid transformation that they had been dealing with the drug lord mercenary regiment for several days. They continued climbing along the valley, the one-eyed dragon being no fool, gave the situation some thought. He came to the realization that the direction of Qin Feng¡¯s escape must be the Stanb River.


    He arranged an early detour, prepared to ambush them on both sides of the river, and waited for an opportunity.


    The big army continued to pursue them, since it was an uphill road and they had to take turns carrying Green Snake, their speed slowed once again.


    Qin Feng and Xiao He successively brought up the rear. The one-eyed dragon would not let them leave with the topographic map of the drug lord¡¯s nest. He set up and used his portable charge gun with hopes of stopping them. The one-eyed dragon who had grown up with this kind of artillery was very proficient in the use of high powered artillery guidance, though the first shots missed. Charge guns were very lethal, if they didn¡¯t act quickly, they may very well end up dead.


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    "We can¡¯t go on like this, we must find a way to defeat the one-eyed dragon."


    Qin Feng said.


    "I''ll go."


    Xiao He left his words echoing behind him as he began gliding down the hillside, but was promptly caught by Qin Feng, "I¡¯ll go. Didn''t you apply for family leave to go back to Tianhe so you could see your sister next week? I¡¯ve got no attachments left. Let me go."


    "But... "


    Xiao He hesitated, but Qin Feng rushed down.


    Both of them knew that in the face of adversity and the bombardment of hundreds of mercenaries and charge guns, it would be difficult to complete their mission, which had already been reduced to a ten percent chance of survival.


    Qin Feng only had 20 rounds of bullets and he had to put them to good use. In order to maintain a 100% accuracy rate, he must place himself closer to the enemy.


    There were thorns all over the place and the brush was too dense. So basically, the enemy was shooting aimlessly and Qin Feng could only rely on the sound of the gunshots to shoot back.


    Bang, bang, bang.


    He fired a few shots, all of which hit the enemy in the chest or eyebrows. Then, hiding among the ranks in the middle of the squadron, he finally saw the one-eyed dragon.


    He had a few anti-charge gun troopers ready nearby. Qin Feng leaned behind a tree, aimed and shot. The gunners around the one-eyed dragon immediately fell to the ground. He saw Qin Feng¡¯s position, "Quickly, look at your 3:00, initiate intensive shelling in that direction. All machine guns, sweep the area! "


    Qin Feng instinctually changed his position, but his body jerked, stepped into a pit and sprained his ankle.


    ¡°Damn.¡±


    The gunfire blasted in his direction as he limped along with his wounded leg. His injury slowed him down enough that he ended up completely exposed to the sight of the one-eyed dragon, "Everyone, 80 meters ahead, at your 2:00!"


    Boom! Prrraatatatatat!


    Bullets rained down towards Qin feng. He was a step too slow, his calf was shot, body was hit, and he almost fell down the hillside.


    "Hurry, move up, he''s hit!"


    The one-eyed dragon saw the shots hit their mark and shouted excitedly, "Take him alive!"


    Qin Feng saw hundreds of people rushing towards him in a frenzy. He struggled to stand but could not continue. With his left leg shot and right foot sprained, it was difficult for him to escape.


    Fortunately, Xiao He should have entered the river safely by now.


    It was at that moment that Qin Feng felt his demise nearing. His life was about to come to a glorious end.


    As he sat there, he thought to himself, ¡°After several years in the army, I had a military career that includes over a hundred battles. I have seen anything and everything on and off the battlefield. I have been lucky enough to get out of dangerous situations every single time. But today, it seems that God will not favor me.¡±


    He simply sat on the ground, set his weapons aside, and took out his last grenade. He waited for the enemy to arrive so he his last act would amount to a magnificent explosion.


    The One-eyed dragon''s proud face could be seen clearly. Qin Feng had one last remaining bullet.


    He¡¯s close. About 30 meters away.


    Just as he was about to raise his gun and take aim, a strong arm came up from behind and pulled him up with one swoop, "Go! I¡¯ve got this! Hurry! "


    Xiao He''s appearance forced Qin Feng to wake up as if this had all a dream.


    The two men continued to fight and retreated, Xiao He hit several enemies in the head in succession. Forcing the enemy to hold their position once again.


    At last they reached the top of the hill, and they all saw the stormy Stanb river below the hillside.


    "Captain Qin, we certainly can''t go together. I¡¯ll hold the high ground and hold their position. You hurry and find Green Dragon and meet with him."


    Xiao He tightly grasped Qin Feng''s arm, grit his teeth and said, "You must escape! The people of the Republic are waiting for you."


    "No! Let''s go! "


    Qin Feng shouted loudly.


    "You know better than I do that we can''t walk away together. You''re the captain. You must live."


    Xiao He hugged Qin Feng, "Promise me one thing! Promise me!"


    "Anything, just say it!"


    ¡°My sister, that''s my only relative. Take care of her for me."


    When the last word had been spoken, a blast from a charge gun hit directly overhead. Xiao He saw it and immediately pushed Qin Feng aside. Qin Feng flew down the hillside and even though Xiao He tried his best to dodge, shrapnel still hit him in the leg. He half knelt on the ground, looking at Qin feng sliding toward the river, "Qin Feng, I accidentally found that there was a spy in the upper ranks of the military! You must seek him out. Find the mole, and restore the purity and sanctity of our army!"


    With this as his last words, Xiao He dragged his wounded leg to assist the others. He wanted to hit the enemies with his last bullet, and exhausted all his strength with the enemy, until he closed eyes.


    Qin Feng had just rolled into the river, only to find that the Green Dragon and the Green Snake were also struggling against an ambushing enemy. He picked up the only hand grenade in his possession and threw it directly overhead. A thundering noise echoed over the river and under the fog of the explosion, he pulled Green Dragon and Green Snake into the water.

 Chapter 2 Back to the City

    A private room on the second floor of the Free Man Bar in Tianhe City.


    "BAM!"


    A crisp sound. A square crystal ashtray shattered on the ground followed by endless screams coming from inside the room.


    "What¡¯s going on?"


    Qin Feng, who had overseen serving 888 rooms tonight, knocked on the door with doubts. He had just gone to assess the situation, but had come across two furious looking ladies rushing out with a face that said ¡°You better get that sorted out!¡±


    "What''s going on in there?"


    He asked anxiously.


    The two ladies were pale, with obvious red marks on their necks, as if they had been strangled, and their lower regions of their thighs exposed under the miniskirts were covered with blood marks.


    They cowered in fear behind Qin Feng and said with trembling voices, "Crazy...Ji is crazy."


    "Who is this, Ji guy?"


    Qin Feng knew that tonight''s guests in Room 888 had a background, he was the only son of the owner of a large and important group in Tianhe. When he had delivered wine and fruit platters earlier, Ji hadn¡¯t arrived yet. Only a few young men were shouting from inside.


    At this time, two burly brothers came out from inside, wearing a gold chain each, "Skanks, get back inside. You dare go against Ji¡¯s orders? I guess you don¡¯t want to work here anymore."


    The two ladies were as scared as a mouse who had just seen a cat ready to pounce and were definitely not going back in.


    Although Qin Feng did not know exactly what happened, he noticed that their reactions were so strong that the man they called Ji, inside the room, was sure to be playing some kind of abnormal game.


    "Excuse me, please don''t embarrass the ladies who work here. We only offer regular services here."


    Qin Feng came forward to advise the young men.


    "What did you say?"


    The two young men cocked their heads and looked disdainfully at Qin Feng. "What the hell? What did you just say?"


    Qin Feng examined his face and looked at the two ladies cowering behind him. "What are they doing to you two?"


    The two ladies dared not say a word in front of the two thugs.


    "Get out of the way. You¡¯re nothing but a fool of a waiter and you dare take try to take charge of this situation?! Ji¡¯s words are the words of a God. If you don¡¯t want to be kicked out or fired, just get out of the way."


    While they spoke, they reached out to push Qin Feng, but did not expect to find that Qin Feng was stable as a rock. Even though he was being pushed by two strong men at the same time, he did not budge a single inch.


    Whoosh.


    Simultaneously, the two men gasped and an angry fire in their chest ignited.


    "Damn you!"


    Two fists simultaneously swung towards Qin Feng¡¯s chest and cheek.


    Qin Feng remembered what his purpose was coming hereto this establishment, he couldn¡¯t just cause trouble for Sister Flower. So in the face of their threats, he chose to back down.


    He leaned his body back and easily evaded the heavy fists of both people''s strength and body weight.


    "Damn it. You two can¡¯t even get two small ladies back in here?! Stop wasting time!"


    Just then, a guy in a yellow shredded shirt came out from inside. Wearing nine cent trousers and pointed leather shoes, and with thin, drunk eyes, he continued to scold them, "They dare reject Ji? They mustn¡¯t be allowed to think this is ok."


    " Ji, is it?"


    Qin Feng said as he approached him indifferently, , "The two ladies here have explained the situation to me. It seems you¡¯re taking things too far. They are dignified people. You have them crawl on their knees, tie their necks to eat fruit, and deliberately prick them with toothpicks... "


    "Damn it! I can do whatever I want with them!"


    Ji would not listen to him, and made a strange battle cry while stretching out a hand to slap Qin Feng.


    Qin Feng¡¯s body swayed, easily dodging it. His hand moved so slowly, it was like Qin Feng was seeing things in slow motion, "I¡¯m warning you. Don¡¯t start up again. I can¡¯t be blamed for what happens afterwards."


    Qin Feng''s patience was limited. If it wasn¡¯t for him trying to save face for Sister Flower, he would have fought these guys and put a quick end to the situation. Opponents such as these wouldn¡¯t last 5 seconds.


    If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    By this time, the entire second floor corridor had attracted a rather large crowd. There were waiters, ladies, and also guests who had come out from their own private rooms to see more of the commotion.


    Beating guests was the most taboo thing to in the hospitality business. Qin Feng knew in his heart that he couldn''t do anything unless he absolutely had to.


    Childe Ji did not want to stop. He kicked the room door, which was made of glass. With a crash, the glass broke. Glass pieces flew across the floor and his four or five younger brothers took this as a que to take out their blades and surround Qin Feng.


    The situation had quickly escalated. A tense atmosphere now filled the air around them. Shortly afterwards, a cold voice was heard saying, "Stop!"


    They looked back and there stood Sister Flower dressed in a long, red cheongsam with a revealing cut that ran down from her thigh.


    Her face was serious and did not approach this situation as she normally would. She would typically apologize to the guests regardless of the situation, but it seemed that she was also familiar with the antics of this man they called Ji. She came forward and blocked Qin Feng who was surrounded in the back, looked around and shouted, "Mr. Ji, what are you doing?"


    Qin Feng stood by Sister Flower¡¯s side, smelling a fragrance that stunned him while he watched her enchanting and charismatic attitude. He couldn''t help but take a few breaths of cool air.


    It was Xiao He''s dying wish to have him take good care of his sister, Xiao Jinhua.


    Xiao He died for Qin Feng, so the reason he came to Tianhe alone was to protect Sister Flower and complete the will of his brother in arms.


    "Are you in charge here, Xiao Jinhua?"


    Ji humphed disdainfully and said, "What happened today is a big deal. I don¡¯t come for a few days and your people act like they do not even know me, THE Ji? Shit! I don''t think you want this bar to remain open, do you?"


    " Ji, please don¡¯t be angry. First, the bar belongs to Brother Jun. Second, my people have just told me what just happened. Truthfully, your requirements really are too harsh. We cannot comply with your orders. I believe that of all the establishments in Tianhe, not a single one would allow you to play like this! See, our ladies are also human. They have dignity and demand respect. It¡¯s really very simple."


    Sister Flower ''s aura was strong enough. Her words were said calmly and she wasn¡¯t frightened by the formation down front. She was definitely the kind of person who had seen scenes like this one very frequently.


    "Fuck you, quit your yapping. If you don¡¯t want me to be satisfied tonight, I will make sure to close down Free Man¡¯s doors by tomorrow. Don¡¯t believe me?"


    Ji impatiently waved his hand.


    Sister Flower was stunned where she stood. She unexpectedly did not respond with any words for a good while. Qin Feng, standing next to Sister Flower realized that perhaps she really was very afraid of the strength this Ji character had. This time around, he had no choice but to stand up for Sister Flower. He could not allow Sister Flower to feel aggrieved.


    Qin Feng touched Sister Flower tenderly on the shoulder, giving her a look that said "I¡¯ll take care of it". Sister Flower had a doubtful face. Her heart asked, what could a new waiter possibly do in this situation?!!...


    Qin Feng stepped forward. He changed his previous conservative demeanor. His eyes released a fierce bloodthirsty light. Ji panicked and retreated half a step when he saw Qin¡¯s gaze. He had never seen such fierce eyes. They looked like a bloody wolf, hungry for days on a wasteland, ready to strike a deadly blow to its prey at any moment.


    " Ji, what do you want us to do about this guy?"


    Qin Feng stared coldly at him with an indifferent face.


    "Ha-ha, Xiao Jinhua is a good person, with a well-deserved reputation. If she could perhaps accompany your young master for a night and provide some special services....."


    Ji¡¯s eyes looked Sister Flower up and down, but before his words had finished leaving his mouth Qin Feng moved. No one noticed how it happened, but in an instant Ji flew three or four meters backwards and landed on the carpet in the hallway, curled up and looking like a pathetic shrimp.

 Chapter 3 Run Away From Defeat

    Boom!


    Everyone was petrified on the spot. No one would have thought that such an ordinary-looking waiter was capable of such a powerful move.


    A look of panic appeared on Sister Flower''s face. Even though she had been in the community for so many years and had seen so many strange people and different things, it was the first time that she had met an aura as fierce as that of Qin Feng¡¯s.


    "What the hell was that! What are you all doing, just standing around? Go now! Kill him!"


    Ji sat up on the ground and fiercely spat on the red carpet. He was furious, making threatening gestures like a roaring clown.


    "Sister Flower, please step back a little, just in case any blood manages to get on you."


    Qin Feng held the arms of Sister Flower lightly like a gentleman, hoping she would retreat enough so that she could look on from a safe distance.


    If Ji had not been so rude, Qin Feng would have not fought with him. But these men, who underestimated how high the skies reached and how deep the earth ran had to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they would never stop.


    Since this is war, he thought, let''s have a good fight.


    Bring it.


    Five tough younger men armed with a sharp knife each, surrounded Qin Feng. They were used to being in control. They had gotten accustomed to being the bullies in Tianhe. No one dared to call them out or challenge them.


    Today however, a small waiter dared to stir up trouble and give Ji a beating. The use of military force was not typically necessary for his men to use, although they were all capable of it. On the average day, they squandered around for an opportunity to earn Ji¡¯s money, and today the opportunity to serve finally came!!!


    "Get him!"


    The first one was a big fat man who burst out a battle cry. He walked straight to the middle of the hall, turning the blade so it pointed directly at Qin Feng¡¯s clavicle.


    The other four separated into two groups and rushed over at a fast speed. In such a narrow space, Qin Feng seemed to have no way to escape. Behind him was a crowd of people who had come to watch, in front of him were the two groups of armed men. Retreat was impossible.


    Upon seeing this scene, the Childe Ji gave a proud sneer as he stood up, "Hmph, You dare fight me? I am going to enjoy killing you tonight."


    In that moment Qin Feng, though surrounded, rose fiercely into the air. He jumped an entire meter above the ground. If the roof hadn¡¯t been taller than four meters, Qin Feng''s head might have hit the roof.


    He moved at a speed so fast, the naked eye could not see his movements. They had no time to react. They collided with each other, and somehow their sharp blades hit their own men.


    Pop.


    The moment Qin Feng landed, his legs swung at an astounding speed. There was always a face present to receive the full force of his blows. With each kick, someone would be directly knocked back several meters. By the time he firmly landed back in place, the five men which had just been overjoyed and ready to attack, had collapsed in all directions in every corner.


    At that moment, his whole body seemed to give off a kind of starlight. He majestically glanced around, overwhelming the entire room. All these people who witnessed the scene appeared to be dumbfounded. The many guests could not help but breathe easy and sighed, "He¡¯s an absolute master of martial arts."


    For a moment, the whole corridor fell into a suffocating silence and no one dared to speak or even breath loudly.


    Ji was astounded. He couldn¡¯t believe everything that had just happened in front of him. He held a dagger in his hands and pointed to Qin Feng who was walking towards him. "You... Don''t come any closer!"


    Qin Feng leisurely stepped on the ground closer to Ji, the corner of the mouth forming a one sided, but charming smile, "Childe Ji, you see what happens when you deal with this matter in such a way? Do you need me to pay for the medical expenses?¡±


    While saying this, he took Ji¡¯s dagger in his own hands with a speed that the naked eye could not see, bending the dagger with one hand so the dagger¡¯s blade formed a neat 90 degree angle.


    If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Childe Ji''s eyes were filled with panic. He gasped while staring at Qin Feng as if he were an alien, "No, no, no."


    He turned to the staircase to escape. In the corridor, less than 20 meters long, he was so scared he fell and rolled 3 times, the younger brothers behind him also fled desperately. Qin Feng did not do anything to stop them. The best result would come about if wasn¡¯t turned into a bigger deal. Hopefully it would not cause a bigger issue.


    Very soon, the corridor was calm once more, Sister Flower looked at the crowd with cold eyes, "Why are you all still standing there? Don¡¯t you have any work to do?"


    The crowd, like frightened birds in the woods, scattered in all directions.


    "Your name?"


    Sister Flower had just been acquainted with the waiter who had just arrived, but could not recall his name. "And... thank you."


    "Sister Flower, you''re welcome. My name is Qin Feng. I''m honored to help you."


    Qin Feng said happily.


    "You call this help?"


    Just then a middle-aged man came from the top of the stairs. The man had a dark complexion and a muscular body. This man was vice president of the Free Man Bar and was considered Sister Flower''s "second-in-command". He was also closely related to the real owner Brother Jun. It appeared that he got along well with Sister Flower.


    "Hello, Brother Kun."


    Qin Feng was accustomed to respectfully greet people.


    "Kun, Ji just......"


    Sister Flower was anxious to explain the situation, but Kun interrupted midway, "Sister Flower, you know the strength of Ji¡¯s family. Although we have the support of Brother Jun this year, it is always best not to cause any trouble. How can you allow a waiter to act so arrogantly? Well, now we can just wait for Brother Jun to scold us."


    After making his point, Kun looked indifferently at Qin Feng, "You rotten boy, do you have any idea how big a mess you just made? You won¡¯t be able to save your life if you don''t sort this matter out."


    Qin Feng listened, even though he was displeased. He shrugged and said completely expressionless, "Brother Kun, my head already has a scar as big as a bowl. I can take a hit. What do I have to fear? I am aware that this is my responsibility and I¡¯ll bear whatever consequences come of this. Also, I will no longer cause trouble to Free Man Bar, you or Sister Flower."


    "Oh, you¡¯ll take the consequence? How will you do that? You are likely worth no more than 100 jin. How could Ji Jiangshan possibly favor you?"


    Kun crossed his arms, and disdainfully said,


    "Well, Kun. I''ll explain this to Brother Jun. Let''s get this over with."


    Sister Flower felt somewhat confused. She also knew there would be consequence due to this matter, but Qin Feng was not in the wrong. He was a brave man as persistent as the current of a river. He fought those men enough so that they had no power or will to fight back. I don¡¯t believe brother Jun would give up such a talented person.


    Qin Feng¡¯s heart was torn. He didn¡¯t care about any consequence. This was nothing he hadn¡¯t seen before. This was only an influential gangster in Tianhe city. He was nothing. He had found himself in so many dangerous situations, so many times, why would he be afraid of this little mess?


    On the other hand, he was afraid of troubling Sister Flower. Her brother had died for him. When Xiao He closed his eyes that day, Qin Feng vowed that he would dedicate this life to protecting Sister Flower so she could have a happy life.


    Kun gave a cold ¡°Hmph¡±. He looked at Qin Feng with anger in his eyes and left.


    "It''s all right. Don''t be afraid. I''ll take care of it."


    Sister Flower approached Qin Feng and consoled him, "Do not be so impulsive again in the future. As for what happens at the bar, I will stand up for you. You are very brave, but in this world, bravery can get you killed."


    "Sister Flower, I.."


    ¡°Well, get busy."


    Sister Flower noticed the Rolex on his wrist, "Shortly after work I¡¯d like to invite you to eat some supper, to ease your nerves."


    Qin Feng replied with a surprised but humble, ¡°Oh¡±. Sister Flower pat him on the shoulder and strode away.

 Chapter 4 Recollecting the Past

    It was two o''clock in the morning, Qin Feng had just gotten off work when he received a call from Sister Flower, "I¡¯m at the southern entrance of the bar, waiting for you."


    Qin Feng quickly changed into a suit and bow tie and ran out of the shop. When he stepped out, he saw Sister Flower¡¯s powerful, red sports car. He opened the door and jumped into the passenger seat while Sister Flower stepped on the throttle. The vehicle roared out and they quickly sped off into the streets.


    At this time of night, Fengyang street was tranquil and only a few cars were driving around. Qin Feng skimmed his eyes over the white thigh exposed past Flowers¡¯ skirt, he said to her, "Sister, you seem to stay in great shape. You must be fairly consistent with your exercise regime, right?"


    "Well, in our business, a woman¡¯s figure is the most important thing. A woman in the business can be ugly, but they must be in good shape to get the most out of their customers when they¡¯re getting it on."


    Sister Flower said, "I¡¯m not afraid of being teased for it, even though I have quit that side of the business for many years, I still maintain the habits of the past. I rarely eat rice or steamed buns, I feel like I stay fearful of anything with fat."


    "Oh, I see, that must be difficult for you."


    Qin Feng''s eyes darkened a bit, he did not want Sister Hua to live in such a way again just to make a living. She worked so hard. If Xiao He knew, he would certainly suffer.


    Sister Flower noticed Qin Feng looking dreary and changed the subject, "I didn''t think you had such amazing skills! In the future, if someone bullies me, you can serve me as my personal bodyguard."


    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up, "Hah, OK. As long as Sister Flower needs me, I¡¯m willing to fight at a moment¡¯s notice!"


    He said excitedly.


    "It''s just... it''s bad that this situation involved Ji."


    Naturally, Sister Flower had her concerns.


    Regardless of who the other party was, fighting was something that couldn¡¯t be tolerated in any business. A lot of guests had come out of their rooms to see what all the fuss was about. After seeing that scene in the hall, surely some guests would have some issues with the establishment.


    Not to mention that Ji Dongchen was the only son of the Chairman of the Jiangshan Group, Ji Jiangshan. He was a rich and famous man in Fengyang District and all of Tianhe City, for that matter. Early in his career, he began selling state-owned goods in the black market. In the early 90s, he flew to Europe for an expedition when suddenly it seemed the plane would be forced to land on the Alps. A move that would put the plane in danger of crashing.


    The captain had lost all hope of survival and told the approximately 300 passengers on the plane to write their wills immediately. From the city of Tianhe, only 6 passengers had been aboard the plane. Except for Ji Jiangshan, the other five were city and district leaders. The six of them were huddled together, crying over their wills. Not a single one of them had any hope of surviving the incident and were forced to accept their fate. The airflow causing the turbulence quickly disappeared and the plane returned to normal, allowing them to arrive in Berlin safely.


    After getting off the plane, the six passengers from Tianhe had survived. They knelt down together and kowtowed as they vowed to become brothers. At that time, Jijiangshan had some money, but only enough to perhaps own and operate a small workshop. With these other men as brothers, he returned to his hometown and his career began to boom as his new connections brought along new business opportunities. His net worth began to rise exponentially.


    As time passed, one of the five brothers who held office had been charged with corruption, while the other four were still active on the political stage. They were members of the standing Committee of the Tianhe Municipality, Deputy Mayor Zhou Tong, Tianhe City Public Security Director Jia Quan, Fengyang District Executive Deputy Liu Jin, and Tianhe City High-Tech Development and Zone Management Committee Director Yue Peng. Needless to say, this man and his associates had a lot of power.


    "Sister Flower, I don''t care where he comes from or who he is, if I could go back I¡¯d do it all over again. If he dares come back for me, I¡¯ll make sure he regrets it. What¡¯s more, if you don''t tell me to stop fighting, I don¡¯t know if anything will be able to stop me from continuing his beating."


    Qin Feng said confidently but in a casual manner.


    Sister Flower looked at Qin Feng getting fired up and was instantly reminded of her brother. She couldn¡¯t help but laugh, "You and my brother Xiao He are so alike. This temperament you both have is both a good thing and a bad thing."

    Upon mentioning her brother, she took out her cell phone to dial Xiao He, after a moment she said, "His phone¡¯s off again. I haven¡¯t been able to get in touch with that boy for several months. I don¡¯t know what he could be busy doing."


    Qin Feng heard Sister Hua¡¯s saying these things and his eyes couldn¡¯t help but swell a bit.


    Xiao He and him were the closest brothers on the team, Qin Feng didn¡¯t dare tell Sister Flower about his death. She was certainly not ready to accept it. Although she would find out sooner or later, he hoped he could postpone it just a bit longer.


    Qin Feng simply wanted a clean conscience by completing Xiao He''s last wish, to protect Sister flower so she could be happy every day of her life. Only then, would he be worthy of Xiao He¡¯s spirit in heaven.


    Seeing Qin Feng distracted and pensive, Sister Flower asked, "What are you thinking about? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re intimidated by what I¡¯ve told you. There¡¯s no reason to be afraid, I¡¯ve got your back. No matter how fierce Ji Dongchen and his father Ji Jiangshan are, he must also save face with Brother Jun. In the situation that occurred today, he was first to break the rules and we acted reasonably. There¡¯s no need to be afraid."


    "Sister Flower, do you ever think about quitting?"


    Qin Feng asked seriously.


    "Quitting?"


    Sister Flower lit a cigarette at the red light and laughed, "It''s hard to get out of the business once you¡¯ve started. What else could I do out here? What other job could pay me as much money as I¡¯m making now? I¡¯m lucky to have achieved anything at all. To be honest, managing the bar is fairly relaxing on most days. The small things are dealt with by Kun, the big relationships are handled by Brother Jun, and I just need to maintain a good atmosphere around the guests to ensure my monthly income."


    Hearing Sister Flower say these things put Qin Feng''s heart a little more at ease, "That''s good, that''s good."


    "Ha-ha, young man, what do you know?"


    Sister Flower smiled. "What do you do during the day since you only work part-time at night? I''m sure you don''t have much energy left after working so late."


    "Me? I work moving floor tiles. No time to be tired, there is only time for strength."


    While saying this Qin Feng roll up his sweatshirt cuffs, exposing a solid, raised bicep.


    "Is that so? You''re a good man, I can tell. Are you having any difficulties at home? If you need money, you can tell me."


    Said Sister Flower.


    "No, no."


    Qin Feng anxiously waved his hand, "Though I¡¯m not doing much these days. If there is any work that needs to be done, don¡¯t hesitate to call me. T be honest, if you don¡¯t call I¡¯ll likely be sleeping."


    They soon approached the Erlang hairy crab and lobster barbecue stall.


    Although it was midnight, it was still bright on this part of town. The neon signs here were ten meters long and were eye-catching and magnificent.


    The open space in front of the stall was set up with dozens of tables. The tables were about 70% occupied. ¡°Park the car by the roadside,¡± said Qin Feng, "Sister, this place appears to be quite popular."


    "Well, this is Fengyang''s first 24 hour barbecue shop. The boss is from the northeast and is a really straightforward guy. When locals pass by, they tend to wave and make funny faces at him. The locals who show up at this hour are usually people that come here to eat after spending a few hours at a bar or a nightclub. They then proceeded to drink two or three more bottles of wine. So let''s try to find a remote table and try not to get involved with any drunk people."


    Sister Flower was about to cross the road wearing high heels and an elegant handbag, when a roaring Audi A6 came to view in the distance. Qin Feng reacted quickly and shouted, "Sister Flower, be careful!"


    She hadn¡¯t noticed the Audi speeding down the road. Had Qin Feng not hugged her waist to pull her back, she would have likely been hit.


    Sister Flower looked back at the roaring Audi and yelled angrily, "Damn it. Watch where you¡¯re going, you jerk!¡±


    "Sister Flower, please be more careful when crossing the road. Many drivers at this hour are drunk, it¡¯s too dangerous to be careless."


    Qin Feng wasn¡¯t quite aware at the time, but his heart was enveloped in the fragrance of Sister Flower, who at that moment was wrapped in his arms. The hand that had caught her thin waist could not help but press against it. As soon as Sister Flower noticed this, she moved a little and murmured, "Let¡¯s go..."

 Chapter 5 Fierce Fighting at the Barbecue Stall

    After finding an isolated table to sit down, Sister Flower ordered a six jin draft beer and asked for some kidney kebabs, ¡°You may want those to help you recover, I hear they¡¯re a natural aphrodisiac.¡± She said with a wink.


    "I could use some of that."


    While she meant it as a crude joke, she was not aware that over the past couple of days Qin Feng had been spending quite a lot of time with several women from her establishment. The ladies of the Free Man Bar had taken a liking to him, even going as far as taking the initiative to ask him out for dinner and some drinks. He really had no reason to turn them away. After a good meal and some drinks, these women were excited to bring him back to their rooms. If these women were going to offer themselves to him, he would not refuse, as long as they used protection of course.


    "So, do you have a girlfriend?"


    Sister Flower asked with a skeptical look. Upon hearing him agree to what she thought was just a joke, she secretly felt let down. Could it be that such a strong young man actually needed additional help in the bedroom? She wondered if his appearance was inconsistent with his libido...


    "No I don¡¯t, why do you ask? Trying to set me up with someone? Haha no, I¡¯m kidding. Let¡¯s not talk about that right now. Men should focus on their careers without distraction." Qin Feng said laughing.


    ¡°I find that hard to believe.¡± Replied Sister flower, though she didn¡¯t pursue the topic.


    "In the future you may be able to do more at the Free Man Bar. The current hall manager is more unreliable with each passing day. I¡¯ve heard that he¡¯s stolen from the store several times with the intention of selling the goods elsewhere. If he were not recommended by Brother Jun and a good friend of Mr. Kun, I would have already fired him. Perhaps one of these days I may find some proof and let him go.¡±


    Before she finished her sentence, she looked up at two drunken men who were walking with their heads leading the way, wobbling and holding bottles of wine, with bare arms exposing the tattooed dragons and tigers on their skin. Their heads were shaved and they wore dog chains, one could immediately tell these two creatures were bad news.


    Qin Feng followed Sister Flower¡¯s eyes and took a good look at the men. His heart tightened as he felt a sense of ominous foreboding.


    Sure enough, the two drunken men displayed their beer bellies in front of Sister Flower and laughed, "Such a beauty, all alone? It''s so lonely in the middle of the night. Let''s go and have a drink at our table!"


    ¡°These jerks...her, alone?¡± Thought Qin Feng.


    Qin Feng listened to the drunk man and got angry. ¡°This guy thinks he can just ignore me?¡±


    "I¡¯m here with someone, sorry." Sister Flower tactfully refused.


    The two drunken men turned to look at Qin Feng, frowning disdainfully, "Hmph, you¡¯re here with a pink faced scholar? If you don''t want any trouble, we suggest you turn around and leave!"


    Glug, glug.


    Qin Feng downed the rest of the draft beer still in his cup and warned, "You have three seconds to go away, otherwise......."


    Before he had finished his words, the drunken man''s bottle hit the table with a bang and the wine inside spouted out dozens of centimeters in every direction, spattering all over Sister Flower. She screamed in a hurry to dodge while the two drunken men took in the situation and got excited. They reached over to touch Sister Flower''s thigh, "Oops, hey beautiful don''t worry about that, I¡¯ll wipe it for you."


    Smash!!


    Qin Feng grabbed the bottle and smashed it directly on the knee of the drunken man. He instantly fell down to the floor on all fours and dropped the bottle. It broke and shattered in all directions. The other drunk was too stunned to react. Qin Feng grabbed the man that was on his knees and tossed him into the hedge next to them. The man must have weighed about 200 jin, yet was easily lifted. Qin Feng''s strength could easily be seen by the people around him.


    "Sister Flower, are you all right?"


    Qin Feng picked up a stack of paper towels, bent down and gently helped Sister Flower wipe the wine stains from her leather skirt.


    Sister Flower looked down at Qin Feng with a slightly annoyed, but tender look.


    "Never mind all that, it¡¯s nothing."


    Flower sister said," Let''s go, I¡¯m not in the mood to eat anymore."


    As she said that, another four or five people began to approach them and the two guys on the ground started to regroup. Qin Feng assessed the situation, frowning, "I am afraid I cannot leave if I don¡¯t swat these pestering flies to death."

    A man no taller than 1.7 meters, but burly and strong-looking approached them with a ferocious look in his eyes, "Don¡¯t you work at the Free Man Bar?"


    Once she heard this, Sister Flower made eye contact and realized that he looked familiar. These guys often went to the Free Man Bar for some action.


    "Zhang Hui?"


    Sister Flower hesitated for a moment before calling his name.


    "Ah, you remember me, what an honor!"


    Zhang Hui took out a cigarette. The younger man next to him lit it immediately. One of the drunk man crawled out from the hedges, saw Qin Feng and began rushing at him, but was quickly stopped by Zhang Hui.


    ¡°You¡¯re well aware of Old Meng¡¯s relationship with Brother Jun. You may want to tell your men to be a bit more polite.¡± said Sister Flower.


    "I¡¯ll admit, I may have been a bit negligent when I asked these two to invite you over."


    Zhang Hui said after approaching them, "Brother Meng wants to open the largest nightclub in Tianhe City. He allowed me to reach out to you. He wants you to be the manager."


    Zhang Hui thought Sister Flower would be happy after hearing that, but she simply put on a faint smile and said, "Please thank Brother Meng for considering me. I certainly miss my old friend. However, after working for the Freeman Bar for so long, I wouldn¡¯t want to move to a new establishment. Please inform Brother Meng, that I¡¯ll have to respectfully decline his offer and he¡¯ll have to find someone more qualified than I.¡±


    Zhang Hui had yet to open his mouth with his response before a few thugs standing by his pointed to Sister Flower and shouted, "Damn it woman, don''t refuse the respect that¡¯s given to you! Who do you think you are?"


    Flower sister''s face quickly turned serious. Standing beside her, Qin Feng¡¯s fist began trembling with anger. Moving as fast as lightning, he grabbed the man by the collar. Lifted him over his head and directed his belly straight into his knee. The man let out a painful cry, crawled on the ground and began to vomit. The leek leaves that had been a part of his dinner were spewed onto the floor.


    Zhang Hui saw the situation unfold with a surprised look on his face. He had originally thought that being able to knock down Wu Gang and Zhang Qiang was a lucky shot. He did not expect that this man was an experienced martial artist with obvious training and serious strength.


    The others had pulled out their knives and were about to advance, but were held back by Zhang Hui. He looked at Sister Flower, "You can sleep on it. I hope you realize that if it weren¡¯t for Brother Meng, we¡¯d consider you an enemy."


    Although Sister Flower had no idea why Old Meng and Zhao Jun had grown apart, Sister flower was not the type to show fear when faced with a threat. She always faced her troubles head on until the dust cleared.


    She pulled on Qin Feng''s arm and walked to the side of the road. She took two steps and turned back to the boss shouting with a calm tone, "I¡¯ll pay for all this next time!"


    Sister Flower was acting surprisingly calm as she approached her car. Qin Feng was a little confused, "Sister Flower, this man they called old Meng, is he a fierce character?"


    "His name carries the same status as Brother Jun in these streets. It¡¯s common for these guys to lose face as they did tonight, though. They may call each other enemies today, but tomorrow they¡¯ll call each other brother. It¡¯s all a matter of money, don¡¯t worry about him.¡±


    "Where do you live?¡± asked Sister Flower. ¡°I''ll drive you back. My dress is wet anyway, I¡¯ll have to go back and change."


    "I live in Riverside Garden and rent a bedroom there. Just turn in this way and I can walk the few hundred meters. " Said Qin Feng.


    "Shared? Is it messy or noisy? I have a house that is always empty and I¡¯m not looking to rent it. Why don''t you go and live there?" offered Sister Flower.


    She continued, "It''s convenient getting to work from there, it¡¯s opposite to the Free Man Bar."


    "Thank you, but it¡¯s convenient for me to live here, I¡¯m familiar with the area."


    Qin Feng tactfully refused.


    "You know, there¡¯s no need to be polite."


    The car soon drove up to the riverside garden where he lived, when he got to the stairs, Qin Feng politely said, "Sister Flower, please come up and take a seat. We can wipe your skirt with a dry cloth. I wouldn¡¯t want for you to go back home like that."

 Chapter 6 Car Fighting

    Sister Flower stared at the old house in front of her eyes and said with some hesitation, "Alright..."


    Once they got to the fourth floor, Qin Feng opened the door. The lights were already on inside. The apartment had an area of 120 square meters, with three rooms. A section of the living room had been partitioned off into a bedroom. The door was closed. The sound of running water could be heard from inside the bathroom. The innermost bedroom belonged to Qin Feng.


    "Sister Flower, I must admit, the conditions of my living situation are very simple," he said.


    The bedroom was less than ten square meters in size and had no natural light. Inside, there was only an old Simmons bed and a broken table covered with bottles, jars, chili sauce, peanuts, rice, bread and other such food items. The bowl of instant noodles he had eaten in the morning was still on the table.


    There was a bitter smell of mold filling the flat, Sister Flower was anxious to open the window, but as she did so the wind blew a pair of men''s shorts in. Qin Feng, who had hung them on the windowsill earlier that morning, hadn¡¯t had the chance to bring them in.


    Sister Flower stepped back, feeling embarrassed. She sat beside the bed, "You live here? This food doesn¡¯t look very good. These are poor living conditions. There are several people using the same bathroom. It¡¯s seems like a real inconvenience, not to mention unsanitary. Let¡¯s just go to my place?¡±


    Just as she finished her sentence, erotic sounds could be heard from the next room. Sister Flower¡¯s cheeks flushed, "Is that where the lovers live?"


    "Yeah."


    Qin Feng¡¯s face couldn¡¯t hide his embarrassment. He had gotten accustomed to listening in on them every day. It was a couple of college graduates that lived next door. The girl was pretty, but the man wasn¡¯t so impressive. He had a face covered with acne, wore glasses and was as thin as a stick. More importantly, he never really lasted long. Qin Feng habitually counted the amount of time it took for them to finish - it was usually about three minutes. The longest time was seven minutes, but that was the third time they had gone at it that day. They would often wake up in the middle of the night and decide that was a good time to get busy. Good thing it wouldn¡¯t last long.


    After chatting for a short time, Sister Flower looked at her watch and said, " I still have many things to do tomorrow. I can''t stay any longer."


    Sister Flower took out a stack of bills from her bag. "I¡¯d like to give you a bonus. Here, for your great performance at work. If you continue to do-"


    "I don''t want it. I''m not helping you for money." Qin Feng calmly waved his hand and refused.


    "Take it, please, just take it. Buy some nutritious food, you can¡¯t always eat junk food. You¡¯ll ruin your stomach."


    Sister Flower said, "My brother is like that. He loves to eat spicy snacks, he¡¯s done so since he was young. He always ate a bag of some of that junk before dinner. Now his stomach is destroyed. Don¡¯t be like him."


    Sigh.


    Qin Feng heard her mention Xiao He again and humbly accepted the bonus.


    After walking Sister Flower out, he felt a little hungry. He hadn¡¯t eaten anything at the Erlang stall.


    The noodle stall in front of the building was still open. He walked out to buy a bowl of noodles. Outside, Qin Feng enjoyed the night¡¯s breeze and had a smoke, quickly mulling over a few things in his mind.


    Sister Flower had always believed that Xiao He was just a second lieutenant of an ordinary peacekeeping force in the Republic. That he often went on business trips, but only going to other countries for symbolic representation of military force. When in fact, Xiao He was just like Win Feng, taking on the Republic''s most dangerous combat missions. He never retreated, whether he had to climb up mountains of jagged rocks or dive into a sea of flames.


    Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    After tonight''s torment, Qin Feng also saw Sister Flower¡¯s situation. She seemed to be in a good position at work, but her business ran too deep. She was just someone else''s pawn. No accident would go unpunished. If an accident happened, she would be responsible for someone else''s mistake.


    What he had to do now was help Sister Flower get out of this dangerous business, find a stable job, build a happy family, and live a good life.


    Her current lifestyle was something Xiao wouldn¡¯t approve of.


    There was simply too much chaos involved in this line of work. Qin Feng started getting a headache just thinking about it.


    He arrived at the noodle stall. ¡°A small bowl with some tofu skin and eggs, please."


    "OK, just a minute."


    That stall was operating a very good business. It was already 3:30 in the middle of the night, yet many people had still chosen to eat there.


    In an instant, several bright lights flashed by and everyone at the stall looked up. Four cars were rushing towards them at high speeds.


    When they got a little closer, Qin Feng could see them clearly. The first three vehicles were two Prados and a Highlander. Behind them was a white Porsche Cayenne, which stopped ten meters away from the first three cars.


    Through the Cayenne¡¯s windshield, Qin Feng recognized Ji Dongchen.


    His intentions were very obvious: he had come to find Qin Feng.


    Sure enough, after the first three cars surrounded the stall, more than a dozen men got out of their vehicles holding knives and machetes, circling Qin Feng.


    Qin Feng got up and looked at the stall¡¯s owner. "Hide, or you¡¯ll get blood on you."


    The other patrons of the noodle stall had long since gotten far away, now their boss ran to the other side of the road to join them, with his rolling pin still in hand.


    There was no dialogue at all. They knew what the deal was. They were ready to fight.


    Boom!


    Qing Feng grasped a man with a short knife and threw him down. Two others stabbed towards his ribs. Qin Feng sank to the ground and swept them quickly with his legs. He picked up a weapon from the ground and mercilessly smashed it on the ankle of a man sneaking up behind him. The sound of bones breaking tore through the air. Miserable sharp sounds resounded through the night sky. Qin Feng rapidly shifted among them. Wherever he passed, bodies of men littered the ground. I just a couple of minutes, he had knocked them all to the ground, while the remaining two men who had only suffered minor injuries scrambled up and rushed back into their cars. They drove away in the Prado and Highlander, signaling to the their brothers on the ground to move away. They struggled up from the ground and quickly got out of the way as the Prado and Highlander rushed towards Qin Feng.


    Close, close. When it was about two meters away from Qin Feng, he stepped up on a table and jumped, landing directly onto the Prado¡¯s roof, shaking his wrist and using the weapons he¡¯d picked up to smash the windshield. The driver''s face was covered with shards of glass causing the two cars to bump into each other, crashing through the seven or eight tables in front of the stall.


    Qin Feng jumped off from the top of the car. "Is that all you got?" He taunted them.


    As he raised his eyes, he saw a bright light in front of him. It turned out to be the Porsche Cayenne, which had thus far been silent in the distance. It was extremely fast and came roaring in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. As it approached, the driver slammed the breaks to make the car slid sideways towards Qin Feng, trying to hit him with the broad side of the vehicle, but he dexterously dodged it.


    The Cayenne flew down the road without hitting anything.


    Ji Dongchen knew that he was powerless to control the situation. He lowered the window and glared at Qin Feng as he floored the gas pedal to escape.


    Qin Feng grabbed the two injured drivers and shouted, "Next time bring a few more men."

 Chapter 7 Inside Information about the Special Combat Team

    They were scared, panting for air and lowering their heads to beg for mercy.


    "Go back and tell Ji Dongchen that I will find him."


    He dropped them on the ground and said, "Why are you still here? Are you waiting for insurance to repair the cars?"


    They rapidly jumped into their cars, started the engines after a few tries and managed to leave the scene.


    Ji Dongchen angrily sped down the road. He nearly crashed into the fence separating the lanes a few times. Since it was already midnight, the traffic on the road was sparse. Otherwise, he would have caused a major pileup.


    He picked up the phone and called Meng Zhaolin.


    Normally, Ji Dongchen would not directly contact a person of his caliber, but this time he had to be a bit blunt.


    Meng Zhaolin was of the same generation as his father, Ji Jiangshan.


    There was no other way to go about this. The thugs he currently had under his command just weren¡¯t capable of bringing down that waiter from the Free Man¡¯s Bar. In order to reclaim face, he had to reach out to someone above himself.


    Meng Zhaolin, as Sister Flower said, had the same status and strength as Zhao Jun, and had even surpassed him over the past two years. Ji Dongchen believed that if he could get his help, he would make certain the waiter would end up dead!!


    However, someone that powerful shouldn¡¯t be bothered for the sake of dealing with just one insignificant ant. That would be like killing a chicken with a cattle knife. Sister Flower, the Free Man Bar, and even the real boss behind them - Brother Jun - would all be overwhelmed by him!


    Ji Dongchen was not stupid. He was well-aware of the bad blood between Meng Zhaolin and Zhao Jun. In fact, he was counting on it. It made it more likely that he¡¯d be willing to kill for someone else.


    The following day. A construction site in Fengyang District.


    The night was quiet. Qin Feng excitedly rushed over, climbed to the top of the building, and finally saw his good brother, Green Dragon. Many days had passed since they first got separated in the forest.


    Green Dragon sat in a leisurely manner on the edge of the guardrail. Below him laid an abyss a dozen stories high, yet he showed no fear.


    Upon seeing Qin Feng, his eyes lit up and he ran over. The two tightly embraced. This kind of camaraderie could not be understood by ordinary people.


    Qin Feng punched him in the chest. "Damn it! I thought you had died. I couldn¡¯t get in touch with you. I was worried! Where''s Green Snake? Why isn''t she here?"


    "Green Snake... The current was so strong that I had to hold her hand in the water to keep from being separated. The mercenaries on the shore were spraying bullets like crazy. I was shot in the arm and I was forced to let go of Green Snake, but when I tried changing hands to catch her, she had already been swept away. I looked for her for a long time but I couldn¡¯t find her. I searched until I finally decided return by myself. I was waiting for her at the border the other day, but she never showed up. I haven¡¯t seen her since."


    As Green Dragon was telling me the story, I could read the sadness in his eyes. Everyone in the Super Warfare Team knew that he liked Green Snake. Although neither of them had ever acknowledged their relationship, the two were very close and everyone was aware of it.


    Even though Green Snake¡¯s disappearance was affecting us all, Green Dragon was the saddest.


    "What? So she...¡±


    Qin Feng bit on his lower lip. With a ferocious face, he kicked a nearby fire hydrant. The corners of his eyes moistened, "Our four-person team once made an oath: live and die together. We¡¯ve been through so many trials and tribulations together, but we never thought that Xiao He would die in battle, or that Green Snake would disappear. If she¡¯s fallen into the hands of the drug lord, is it even possible that she¡¯s still alive?"


    "It''s all my fault! It''s my fault!"


    Green Dragon slapped his own face in anger and tears flowed down his face. For several days, he had been drowning himself in tears at the thought of the beautiful Green Snake and her bright laughter, he felt like he was in some strange dream. He was in denial for some time, but every time he would wake up in early hours of the morning, he would always find that Green Snake, who had always kept him sane, was really gone.

    Qin Feng was anxious to comfort Green Dragon. "Come on! We can¡¯t act like this. This is our reality. We are Spec ops. There is always the possibility of death and we should always be mentally prepared for it. With that aside, there have been no news of Green Snake¡¯s death and no news is good news!¡±


    "What are you doing in Tianhe? Come back to the base with me. Although we suffered heavy losses, we successfully completed the mission and we still have to answer to those in command!" said Green Dragon.


    "I can''t go back just yet, Xiao He died saving my life. Before his death, he asked me to protect his sister, Xiao Jinhua. Sister Flower is here and I have to take care of her."


    "That should be simple. Take her to the base. She is a family member of a martyr. The leadership will certainly arrange something for her."


    "Martyr? Have you forgotten the nature of our team? None of us have any records. Even if we die, we are nameless. We will not be honored as martyrs dedicated to the Republic and no one will know of our contribution.¡± Qin Feng said, "Besides, I don¡¯t want to break up Sister Flower¡¯s life. Being around her undercover is the best way to care for her. I think Xiao He, under the nine springs, also thinks so."


    "Well, then I''ll go back first. Give me the map of the drug lord''s nest. I¡¯ll pass it on."


    Hearing this, Qin Feng noticed Green dragon''s entranced look out of the corner of his eye, but dismissed it. He took out the topographic map from within his pocket and said, "Go ahead and pass this on to those in charge. When everything is stable around here, I''ll go back to my position."


    Green Dragon was satisfied with the picture. Qin Feng then exchanged a few words about his well-being. The whole encounter lasted no more than ten minutes and he was anxious for it to end.


    As he saw Green Dragon depart, Qin Feng sighed. His heart was thinking about the safety of Green Snake. He kept wondering about her safety and wherabouts.


    In the capital.


    On the second terrace of a private manor in the suburbs, two tall men were discussing something.


    "Green Dragon, have you confirmed everything on this topographic map? Are there any mistakes?"


    The speaker, with his golden glasses and height of 1.8 meters, was dressed in a casual white suit and had a pointed face. He had the appearance of a classic gentleman. He was Major General Gu Shaoyun, the commander of the Special Forces.


    He commanded Qin Feng''s Super Warfare Team. He was also a member of the special combat team, a strong fighter. He had been in accident some time ago and was seriously injured. This had forced him to retire to the second line. With excellent command, judgment, and negotiation ability, he was promoted from major to major general and put in charge of the Republic''s Special Forces with the title of "Spec Ops general."


    "I don''t think so. We went to the location marked on the map, but the Golden Triangle drug lords are very cunning. The nest is very well-hidden. Qin Feng deliberately exposed himself and was seized by the drug traffickers. He was blindfolded and brought into the old nest, while we waited for him in the dense woods five miles away. Relying on his strong sense of direction, he escaped in the middle of the night and marked the topographic map from memory. By the time the drug lords figured out he¡¯d escaped, he¡¯d stolen Shark Kun¡¯s best-kept secret - a list of all the major mainland strongholds that the drugs are being sold to. Practically the entire Golden Triangle¡¯s mercenary army came after us. They chased us the whole way back, it was a miracle that we ever made it out."


    Green Dragon was honest and concise.


    Gu Shaoyun asked cautiously, "Are you sure that, apart from you, only Qin Feng himself has seen this picture?"

 Chapter 8 Inflame and Agitate the People

    "Well, we all knew the importance of the topographic map. So naturally, we followed the discipline of special operations. Everything was on a need-to-know basis. Qin Feng came a long way with the map on his person and he hasn¡¯t been in contact with anyone else. He is now in Tianhe, working as a bartender and taking care of Xiao He''s sister. He has been so wasteful with his time. He says that it was Xiao He¡¯s dying wish to take care of his sister, but I¡¯m guessing he may actually have taken a liking to her.¡± He said with a soft chuckle. He was very observant.


    Where there are people, there are relationships.


    In the Golden Quad group, Qin Feng was the captain. Green Dragon would never envy him. Qin Feng was indeed very gifted in all respects. Green Snake was a woman, and his favorite. However, Xiao He suppressed Green Dragon at every turn. The two men had always been estranged from each other, but because they were members of the Special Forces, they never argued with each other for the sake of their mission and the interests of the Republic.


    Therefore, Green Dragon hadn¡¯t felt much with regards to Xiao He''s death. As for taking care of his sister, he thought that was a ridiculous extreme.


    "Green Dragon, the Golden Quad team only exists in name now. You have been in the army for many years; your skills are excellent. When it comes to ability, you lose to no one. Have you ever thought about moving forward? Do you want to remain an unsung hero in this kind of dangerous and risky business? Do you want to stay in your current anonymous position, with limited command for the rest of your life?" Gu Shaoyun asked softly.


    "Sir, what do you mean?¡±


    Every moment of every day, Green Dragon would think of a different environment where he could thrive. He had accomplished numerous achievements in the military over the past few years. Since he had no solid background and his family was poor, he had to rely solely on his abilities, strengths, and dedication. The special combat team was flashy, but in the end, it was not a role that had any potential for future growth. At any moment, they could lose their lives without getting what they deserved.


    Gu Shaoyun, who was over half a century old, saw through Green Dragon¡¯s thoughts and pat him on the shoulder, laughing. "Every man has ambition and wants to move up in the world," he said. "This is not a disgrace."


    "Sir, are you saying there¡¯s a chance of moving up from here?"


    Green dragon''s eyes glimmered with excitement though he maintained his composure.


    "I¡¯ll be honest with you, I believe that you¡¯d lead the Super Warfare Team better than Qin Feng. He is too emotional and sentimental. In the military, such characteristics only get in the way. I had you all make many difficult decisions and after it all, I''m more reassured by the choices that you make."


    "Sir, I would... but Qin Feng''s contributions and loyalty to the Republic over the years are obvious to anyone who knows of our exploits. I can''t just...."


    "As his immediate superior, I certainly know better than you what kind of special combat team is more effective at accomplishing a task! You are better than him as a Special Forces leader, I¡¯m certain of it! You¡¯ll just need to do a few things first."


    "Whatever it is, I¡¯ll do it, even if it¡¯s seemingly impossible!" Green Dragon beat his chest with a fist, full of confidence.


    "First, I¡¯m going to need you to bring back Shark Kun''s list of drug trafficking strongholds on the mainland," Gu Shaoyun said coldly.


    "I mentioned that when I met with Qin Feng, but he refused and said he would give it to you directly. He said there might be a lot of big issues involved," said Green Dragon.


    "Big issues? Hah I¡¯m afraid to say he¡¯s fooled you. He just wanted to take credit for his work."


    Gu Shaoyun went on, "This list is important and you must get it back by any means necessary. I don¡¯t care how you do it, just bring me the list! Do you understand?"


    Green Dragon was stunned for a moment. "Any means?"


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    "Yes. Even if it means you have to kill for it."


    Green Dragon¡¯s heart thumped. He could not believe the commander¡¯s behavior. He was torn, but if this was the only way he could move forward, did he really have a choice?


    Kill Qin Feng?


    How had it come to this?


    He couldn¡¯t believe the mission he¡¯d just been set on.


    ----


    In the brilliant manor of the most magnificent villa district in Tianhe City.


    The hall lights were bright in the single-family manor. Ji Jiangshan had been playing mahjong the whole night and had just returned to his house.


    Ji Dongchen and some of his little brothers sat at home, smoking in frustration.


    Ji Jiangshan learned about his son''s worries and was furious. "You bastard. All you know is how to get in trouble. How many times have I told you? Our family¡¯s only concern right now is to go clean. We cannot be mixed in with that kind of people. Don''t provoke Zhao Jun! Why don''t you listen?"


    "Dad, you can''t blame me. It was Xiao Jinhua who took charge of the Free Man Bar. She simply did not welcome us! She shouted at me in the bar and said my brothers and I were nothing. Zhao Jun considers us nothing but small fries, and she said...¡±


    Ji Dongchen had to go home to inflame and agitate people above him whenever he encountered a tough problem. He would often provoke his father to come out and settle everything. As long as his father was on board, there was nothing he couldn¡¯t settle in Tianhe City.


    "What else?"


    A trace of tears appeared in Ji Jiangshan''s eyes. He had always been a gangster. Now his family had to change the way they lived in order to survive, but if someone had truly irritated him and wanted to challenge his authority, then he would go easy on them.


    ¡°She said that you started up with the help of a few big shots. Everyone knows about the bad things you did in your early years. She also said that if you hadn''t sucked up to those few big shots, you would have never risen above running the street stalls!"


    Bang!


    An ashtray crashed on the ground. Ji Jiangshan was angry. What annoyed him most was when others who did not like his disgraceful past would talk about it behind his back. Those years were a shameful stain on his family history, but they were also a historical imprint that could not be washed off.


    "Xiao Jinhua is a lousy woman hired by Zhao Jun. How dare she say such words! Damn it. She regards me as nothing more than a low life?"


    Whenever Ji Jiangshan got angry, his two thick eyebrows would rise up, showing a ferocious countenance.


    He was a lounge lizard in his early years, part of the first batch of riffraff in the early days of Tianhe City. "Even when I still played with a kitchen knife and chopped people up, Zhao Jun was nothing! How dare such a lousy woman challenge me?"


    "Father, my gang is tough. We aren¡¯t afraid of anyone! You give the word, and I¡¯ll get together hundreds of people, and take the Free Man Bar down!!!"


    Ji Dongchen was a domineering rich kid who was born into wealth and power. He never considered the consequences. Nevertheless, he was Ji Jiangshan''s only son. No matter what wrong he did, his father would help him, as long as he was in the right mood.


    He simply could not get over the indignance of being bullied by a waiter. He would never rest until he reclaimed face!


    Ji Jiangshan looked out of the window, yawning, ¡°It¡¯s almost dawn. Go to sleep first. When we wake up, I¡¯ll ask someone to call Zhao Jun."


    After all, he was experienced. There was a cost to smashing up a venue. This wasn¡¯t the old days. You couldn¡¯t act randomly. You had to carefully consider the consequences ahead of time.


    Zhao Jun was not easily bullied. Years of operating the underground industries in Fengyang made him very adaptable. Since his subordinates would dare say those things, it proved that he must often brag in front of his people. Any bragging was not done without a bit of truth behind it. If Zhao Jun did not have considerable strength to back his words, he would not dare to be so arrogant.

 Chapter 9 Sharing the Shower

    "Father, can we allow ourselves to be shamed like this? If this goes on, you will surely lose face!"


    He thought his father would immediately agree to smashing up the bar, but his dad unexpectedly said he wanted to sleep.


    ¡°Shut up!¡± replied Ji Jiangshan annoyed and his temper escalating. ¡°What do you know about handling things? There¡¯s a correct way to do things. Being reasonable is not a flaw. Do you think these are the days when people took up kitchen knives to take revenge?" Ji Jiangshan barked.


    "Dad, what are we afraid of? We have money and we have people. Uncle Jia is a public security chief who¡¯ll protect us! After wrecking the bar we should go to their bathroom and stash some heroin, and then have Uncle Jia send in a few people to check, that will lead them to shut down their bar. Zhao Jun will have to apologize to us then!"


    "Do you think Zhao Jun, who has been a gangster for so many years, would not know Jia Quan? You idiotic boy, grow a brain!" said Ji Jiangshan anxiously. ¡°Without the protection of Jia Quan, could Zhao Jun and his fellows have survived this long?"


    A gloomy expression passed through Ji Dongchen¡¯s eyes, but he immediately changed the subject, and said, "Dad, there is something I think you should know."


    "What...?"


    "I have called Meng Zhaolin. He recently had rhinitis, and he was resting when I called him. After listening to me talking about all this stuff, he said he would contact me tomorrow, and then he hung up."


    "Meng Zhaolin? What do you want him with him?"


    Ji Jiangshan and Meng Zhaolin were familiar with each other, but only in a superficial way based on mutual interest, which was neither good nor bad.


    "He and Zhao Jun have quarreled. The Outer Ring Road project they worked on together seems to have ended unpleasantly, and I heard that Meng Zhaolin wants to open the largest nightclub in Tianhe, which is openly against Zhao Jun. If we do something now, they... "


    While Ji Dongchen was going on about his little plan, Ji Jiangshan listened to his own thoughts and fell into meditation. "Little boy, do you realize how deep this goes? These people will chew you up and not even spit out your bones if you get involved with them. You aren¡¯t going to be able to come out of this unscathed!¡±


    His father continued, ¡°Really! You just had to piss me off tonight!"


    Ji Jianghsang started going upstairs to his bedroom. "I will deal with this when I wake up tomorrow. Letting you run around acting like an evil jackass will drive me insane sooner or later."


    After listening to him, Ji Dongchen nodded thoughtfully, and a sly smile appeared on his mouth.


    .


    ---


    Sleeping till nine o''clock morning, Qin Feng stretched and dragged himself toward the toilet.


    Half-asleep, he opened the bathroom door, only to hear a scream that resounded throughout the entire house.


    He discovered that the girl who shared the apartment with him was squatting on the toilet with a comic book in her hand.


    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes went wide in surprise. Embarrassed, bewildered, and anxious, he slunk back to his room.


    Not long after, he vaguely heard the toilet flush.


    ¡°She''s coming out. Will she come after me?"


    Qin Feng nervously waited in his room. She was the first tenant. The bedroom with the balcony was occupied by her. Her room was the first bedroom when entering the house. The middle room was the couple¡¯s. The innermost room was Qin Feng¡¯s.


    It was a good apartment. All three bedrooms were facing the sun, while the living room, bathroom, kitchen, and dining room were all in the shade.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    A violent knocking came from the bedroom door.


    Busted.


    Qin Feng sighed in his heart. "Here comes trouble. On his first day living there, the landowner warned Qin Feng that Zhu Fei, who lived in the first bedroom, was not easy to deal with. She could mess up her bedroom and the entire building. If she hadn¡¯t paid three years¡¯ rent in advance, the landowner would have already kicked her out."


    Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    There was no way around it. He opened the doors reluctantly. Qin Feng squeezed out an embarrassed smile. "I didn''t see anything..."


    "You¡¯re full of shit! If that were true, why are you heading out?"


    Zhu Fei had her hair down, was wearing a pink lace skirt, and a top with a deep neckline, exposing her collarbone and cleavage. The skirt hung roughly 10 centimeters above knee, showing off her long, slender white legs. She showed just the right amount of skin while leaving enough to the imagination.


    Her facial features were extremely delicate. Her face was white and was somewhat like a natural jade green crystal. She had clear thin lips; her eyelashes blinking with anger and a bit of cuteness and playfulness.


    "I only saw a comic book..."


    "Humph! Men are pigs."


    Zhu Fei grabbed Qin Feng''s collar and shouted, "My room¡¯s lightbulb broke; help me change it!"


    Qin Feng thought he was going to be tortured. His nervous heartbeat calmed down when he realized his punishment was merely to change a lightbulb.


    "We are neighbors. We¡¯ll be seeing each other all the time. If there is anything you want me to do, just call me." Qin Feng smiled and easily got familiar with the beauty.


    "Well, then... you can take out my trash from now on."


    She didn''t show any courtesy. She pushed open her bedroom door, and a faint female fragrance flowed out. Her bedroom was exquisite. Although she rented a single bedroom, she still had high standards for her life. If she had so much money that she could afford to pay 3 years¡¯ rent in advance, why not rent an entire apartment for herself? This would have saved her the earlier bathroom incident.


    "Floor tiles, wallpaper, window shutters, custom wardrobe. Is this all new?"


    Qin Feng was astonished looking at the room, feeling a little overwhelmed. He felt like he had walked into a demo room in a new luxury apartment building. The crystal ceiling was gorgeous, it was definitely expensive. All this stuff must have cost at least twenty or thirty thousand Yuan.


    Most of the people who rented single bedrooms were wage earners. People would only take with them a half-rotten table when they moved out, not to mention any decorations they brought in. Zhu Fei couldn¡¯t possibly take those decorations away if she moved. If she left, the landlord would get everything.


    How strange. How could there be such a person?


    Being careless, but having a lot of money?


    Zhu Fei took out two bottles of Bama mineral water and threw them at Qin Feng. "It¡¯s just a small broken lamp; can you fix it?"


    "It should be simple." Qin Feng stepped on the table. He took two minutes to fix it.


    When he flicked the light switch, light filled the room.


    "Aren''t you going to work?" Qin Feng asked curiously.


    This girl had quite an aristocratic temperament. She seemed to be from a well-off family, but she was renting a room in this old apartment house. Qin Feng couldn¡¯t wrap his head around it.


    "I''m a freelancer and I don''t work."


    Zhu Fei glanced at Qin Feng, "Your body smells very bad."


    "Does it?"


    Qin Feng sniffed under his arm, it really did smell of oily soup. It was only then that he remembered fighting at the noodle stall last night. The noodles he was eating had splattered all over him. After returning home, he was too sleepy to shower. "I''m sorry," he said, ¡°I''m going to take a shower."


    "I''ll take a bath first. I¡¯ll feel weird if you go first."


    When Zhu Fei had just moved in, she felt that the water heater was not effective enough, and she demanded the best model in the market from the landlord.


    "We can save water and shower together?"


    Qin Feng said with a wink at Zhu Fei, boldly challenging her limits.

 Chapter 10 Cockroaches

    "Get out of here, you pervert! Why did you move to this apartment?!"


    Zhu Fei shoved Qin Feng, he was quick to withdraw. "I was just kidding! Look at your face - you¡¯re all red."


    "No! You''re not allowed to come to my room anymore! You¡¯ll get your stench on me."


    Zhu Fei was particularly funny when she acted serious. She had a doll¡¯s face, so when she got angry, her facial expressions seemed almost animated.


    ----


    Qin Feng had just returned to his room when he received a call from Sister Flower. "Hello, Sister Flower."


    "Are you awake?"


    Sister Flower''s voice was low, and sounded not very good, like she was having a cold. "Did anything happen last night?"


    "Nothing. I just woke up. Do you have a cold? You don¡¯t sound too hot."


    Qin Feng did not want to say that Ji Dongchen had come again last night, but asked with concern, "Have you got any medicine? I could get you some."


    "It''s all right. Last night I caught a little cold. I took a hot bath to resist it."


    "It¡¯s not OK. There are a lot of viruses in the air these days. You can¡¯t treat a cold haphazardly. It¡¯s easy to cause inflammation and make it worse."


    Since Qin Feng had been mandated by Xiao He to protect her, he wasn¡¯t going to take any chances. "Tell me your location, and I will bring you some medicine."


    "Thank you."


    Sister Flower smiled softly. "I didn''t expect that I would work with you as a part-time waiter... My head is still a little dizzy. I¡¯ll go back to sleep."


    "Good. I''ll call you when I get there." Qin Feng hung up the phone.


    !!!


    Suddenly, a shrill scream filled the apartment.


    Qin Feng rushed out, judging that it must have come from the bathroom.


    Another scream: "Go away! Go away! Go away!"


    Qin Feng shouted through the door, "Who¡¯s in there? Are you OK?"


    Zhu Fei was in the shower, could it be a that a man had gone inside?


    This was a big issue.


    Was it a thief?


    "I¡¯ll get him!"


    Qin Feng dared not delay. He knew he had to act fast. He could simultaneously beat the thief and become the hero who saved the beauty, and also capture the beauty¡¯s heart while catching a good glimpse of her body. Such a good opportunity was rare to come by.


    "No! No! No! Don''t come in." Zhu Fei slapped the frosted glass door of the restroom, "There are cockroaches in here! A whole bunch!"


    "Bugs? I thought it was an intruder! What the hell..."


    Qin Feng was thunderstruck. "Flush them out with the shower head. Just wash them down the drain."


    "They''ll get on me!"


    Zhu Fei timidly pressed against the glass door. Although the glass was frosted, he could not see her clearly. He could however, still see her silhouette. Qin Feng only snuck a glance, but he could not help but open his mouth. This was a rare sight.


    Those curves... and that mysterious posture... He couldn¡¯t imagine seeing all of her.


    While Qin Feng was in a trance, the handle of the glass door turned and she walked out!


    Qin Feng sucked in a mouthful of cool air. His eyes dared not blink, shamelessly staring at her.


    She wore a pink bathrobe. Her body was all wet. Because she had rushed out, she hadn¡¯t bothered to tie the robe at the waist. Thus, the bathrobe was loose and didn¡¯t properly cover the body meant to be hidden beneath it. Qin Feng¡¯s eyes wandered and tried to look away, but his head wouldn¡¯t react.


    He felt drunk. He saw her jade-like face, beautiful breasts and smooth white skin.


    "What are you waiting for?"


    Zhu Fei pushed Qin Feng aside and found that his eyes were not looking towards the insects. She used her hand to cover her chest and viciously stared at him. "Are you serious!? Grow up!"


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Qin Feng came back to his senses and rushed into the bathroom with a compelling obligation. He picked up the shower head and maxed out the water pressure. Then he opened the floor drain and washed all the cockroaches hiding in the corners of the bathroom into the sewers.


    "They¡¯re gone. Go in and take a shower."


    After Qin Feng came out, he smiled and said, "Living here really doesn¡¯t suit a fancy lady like you."


    "I don''t want to take a shower anymore. It''s disgusting in there," Zhu Fei said with a depressed face.


    "It''s all right. I''ll be right outside the door. If there are any more bugs, call me. If that doesn¡¯t work, I can put on a blindfold and go in with you. I won''t take a peep at you. If there are any more bugs, I¡¯ll trample them!" Qin Feng brazenly said, a nefarious, charming smile on his face.


    Zhu Fei was shocked. "Can you be any more shameless?"


    "I''m just trying to help!" said Qin Feng flirtaciously.


    Then Qin Feng suddenly pointed at Zhu Fei¡¯s back and shouted, "Watch out, a gecko, a gecko!"


    Whosh!


    Zhu Fei''s face went green. She immediately rushed into Qin Feng¡¯s arms, wishing her legs could also hang on his body. She grabbed on for dear life, filling the building with the sound of her screeching.


    Qin Feng obviously felt her soft bosom against his own. He proudly stuck out his chest, wanting to make this moment more intimate. Zhu Fei seemed to slowly realize what was happening, nervously lifted up her head, and looked at Qin Feng in confusion. "A gecko?"


    "It''s gone. You scared it away by screaming so loudly."


    Qin Feng¡¯s body tilted, and his palms landed on her shoulders. Although the bathrobe was between them, her fragrance filled his mind, and her body exuded a charm that made Qin Feng fall into madness.


    Zhu Fei timidly turned back. There was absolutely no gecko in sight. She looked back at Qing Feng, and then awakened. She pushed him away, "You... are really shameless!"


    "Were you serious about not wanting to take a shower anymore?"


    When Qin Feng faced Sister Flower, he would treat her with respect and try to keep things professional, especially because she was Xiao He''s sister. But with the girl in front of him, he would not be so restrained when it came to flirting.


    After so many days of repression, he really needed a lady to vent his sexual desire. Although there had been two ladies at the Free Man Bar who had slept with Qin Feng, it was never sincere with them. It was almost as if they were just using each other¡¯s bodies for pleasure.


    "No! You''re worse than a cockroach."


    Zhu Fei glanced at him, growling coldly, "You made me angry early this morning," she said. "You¡¯re really becoming an eyesore!"


    Qin Feng laughed, "Life is long. I¡¯ll grow on you eventually. I''m a man by nature."


    "I think you¡¯re disgusting and filthy."


    Zhu Fei slammed her bedroom door and then locked it.


    Qin Feng turned on the faucet, washed his face, and returned to his room to take out clean clothes and toiletries for his shower.


    While washing, he suddenly noticed a piece of cloth in a small pink basin in the corner. There was white lace inside. The shape was a bit unusual. He squatted down and took a closer look. It was a thong!!!


    "What the..." Qin Feng couldn¡¯t help but say out loud. He realized this must be Zhu Fei¡¯s undergarments. Did she really not even take the time to wash her underwear? She just threw them away?


    He shrugged it off, got up and went on with his shower.

 Chapter 11 Embarrassment

    After a while, when he was soaping up, someone knocked on the glass door.


    Dong, Dong, Dong!


    Qin Feng turned the knob to shut off the water and wiped his face, shouting, "What?"


    "Who let you in to take a shower!? My stuff is still in there."


    Zhu Fei had changed her clothes and wanted to wash her underwear, only to find........


    Her new roommate must have discovered it. He wouldn¡¯t do anything disgusting in there, would he?


    The more she thought about it, the more nervous she got. She had to knock on the bathroom door.


    "Huh? What? You didn''t say anything earlier. I¡¯m taking a shower."


    Qin Feng¡¯s heart was joyful. He glanced at the underwear in the corner. He thought, she must be looking for it, ha ha. That¡¯s so embarrassing!


    It was a lace thong. The front was half-transparent.


    It must be quite an enchanting treat to have a lovely lady treat a man to a view of those on.


    "Get dressed, and I''ll go in to take it myself!" Zhu Fei was getting a little anxious waiting at the door. She was afraid that the guy inside would look around and find her underwear.


    "What do you want to take? I''ll bring it out for you."


    Qin Feng deliberately teased Zhu Fei, imagining her embarrassed appearance outside the door. He could not help but laugh.


    "No, no, I''ll take it myself. Come on out!"


    Zhu Fei knocked hard on the door. The more he dawdled, the more anxious she became.


    "Well, OK, OK. I¡¯ll come out wearing a towel."


    Qin Feng simply wiped his body and wrapped a towel around his waist. Before going out, he squatted down and took one las look at the underwear in the pink basin. Imagining her wearing it obviously made his hormones stir. He accidently started getting a bit too ¡°excited¡±.


    He awkwardly repositioned his growing member and coughed, "I¡¯m coming out."


    He deliberately walked sideways, with his arm covering the protruding place. He opened the glass door.


    When Zhu Fei saw Qin Feng¡¯s half-naked body, wrapped only in a towel that could only barely cover his private parts, she couldn¡¯t help shouting, "Ugh, you are so gross!"


    She put her hands over her eyes and rushed into the bathroom. "Get out of here and go back to your room."


    Qin Feng looked back and saw that she was going to take the small pink basin.


    He could not help giving her a wolf whistle as he left.


    Zhu Fei seemed to hear it. She carried the pink basin with one hand and growled, "You¡¯re losing face!" Then stormed back into her bedroom.


    Back in her room, Zhu Fei was really angry and hated it. But her mind couldn¡¯t help hovering around the image of Qin Feng¡¯s exposed upper body. His well-defined muscles, six-pack abs and strong biceps were really impressive.


    "Bah, bah, bah! That guy is such a douche, what use does he have even if he is handsome?"


    Dropping the small basin, she could not help but grumble, "Why did I have the misfortune of meeting this kind of person..."


    After about half an hour, Qin Feng tidied himself up, putting on a set of clean and neat casual clothes. He shaved his stubble and put on a little hair gel, looking at himself in the mirror, full of spirit. He could not help but shake a finger at himself. "10 out of 10."


    He went out of the bedroom with his bag, headed straight to the drugstore to buy medicine for Sister Flower.


    He did not expect to find Zhu Fei leaning against the door of his room, her arms folded over her chest, waiting for him to come out.


    "Handsome man, why are you all dressed up?"


    Zhu Fei was acting strange. When she talked, her mouth showed a smile that made people confused.


    "Were you waiting for me out here? Impressed by what you saw back there?"


    Qin Feng mimicked the posture of Michelangelo¡¯s David, full of self-confidence.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    After fighting on the battlefield for a long time, he found that people always tried to cheat and scheme against each other. Qin Feng was just like everyone else. He also had desires. He would also feel tired, but he was strong. His roaming heart never had a permanent harbor to anchor in. Occasionally, he could fool around with beautiful girls like this, which was his favorite way to relax. He enjoyed seeing pure and clear eyes. Although he did not understand Zhu Fei, and didn¡¯t even know where she was from, what she did, or why she rented there, he could see Zhu Fei''s nature at a glance through her eyes.


    This was definitely a good and trustworthy girl.


    "Bah! Look at you. I could smell bad hairspray through the door. Did you buy it for nine dollars on Taobao? Was it free shipping?" Zhu Fei laughed mockingly.


    "Yeah... How did you know?"


    This time, Zhu Fei was dressed neatly. She was wearing slippers, exposing the majority of her white feet, enchanting and charming. She had on ultra-short white shorts made from a fluffy material, sexy and alive. Her top was a short, silky, light-blue shirt , exposing the beautiful navel and toned abs.


    She wasn¡¯t very tall, about 1.68 meters or so, but her legs were long, with long wine-colored hair and a beautiful face. She was definitely a goddess.


    Qin Feng looked a little enchanted, looking down at Zhu Fei''s navel. She snorted disdainfully, "Can you at least try to be a gentleman? You don¡¯t need to act like this."


    Qin Feng smiled embarrassedly. "I can¡¯t help myself when I see a beautiful woman. I''m sorry."


    "What are you going to do?"


    "Go out. I got up late today. There''s something I have to do."


    Qin Feng looked at his watch. It was nearly 10:30, and it was at least half an hour''s journey to Xinxiang Garden, where Sister Flower was waiting for him. He hadn¡¯t had a meal yet, so he took a packed lunch with him.


    "Is it urgent?" asked Zhu Fei.


    Qin Feng was stunned. Hadn¡¯t they just met? Was there anything else that needed fixing after the light bulb? The bed? The wardrobe?


    Wait a second, does this lady like me?


    Ha ha. Although a little bit excited, Qin Feng could understand why. A man like him, competing against uncles and young men, was liked by most girls. The uncles would feel too old; the young men were too childish. Qin Feng was an all-around good catch.


    "What can I do for you?"


    After a burst of internal joy, Qin Feng tentatively asked, "If you still need me to fix things, you can wait for me to come back."


    "Instead of fixing things, can you go out to lunch with me at noon?"


    Zhu Fei had just discovered that she had another missed call from Jia Dapeng. He was an idle guy and had recently been frantically pursuing Zhu Fei. He must have made dozens of phone calls every day. Even after being rejected many times, he still did not give up. His spirit was commendable.


    Zhu Fei really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Then, she thought of the strong man next door. She thought Jia Dapeng would lose hope if she went out with Qin Feng.


    "Lunch?"


    Qin Feng was a little surprised. Just a moment ago, Zhu fei was bursting with rage and scolding him, and now she asked him out? What was going on?


    "Yes. You see, you fixed the light bulb for me, and we live under the same roof, so I might have to trouble you again. Shouldn¡¯t I buy you a meal, at the very least?"


    Zhu Fei was afraid Qin Feng would not be willing to go if he knew he was supposed to be a pretend boyfriend, so she did not tell him the truth.


    "Oh, that sounds reasonable."


    Qin Feng laughed and said, "Well, we are roommates. As the saying goes, ¡®distant relatives are not as close as neighbors¡¯. We should talk more, but I can¡¯t go to lunch right now. At noon I have something to do. My friend caught a cold, and I have to get her some medicine. I promised her."

 Chapter 12 Her Upper Body

    To tell the truth, Qin Feng would have liked to eat lunch with Zhu Fei. It was nice being able to take a beautiful woman out for a stroll around town, eat, and then watch a movie or whatever - as long as he got into the cinema and the lights went off. In the darkness, if the mood was right, there was always the possibility for a little more.


    Qin Feng''s heart thumped.


    "Medicine? Is your friend a woman?"


    Before he could answer, Zhu Fei rolled her eyes and said contemptuously, "Nevermind, sounds boring. I¡¯ll see you around then."


    She returned to her room disappointed. Looking at her receding back, Qin Feng¡¯s heart itched. He really wanted to agree to go out with her, but Sister Flower¡¯s health was more important, and he could not let her down.


    Everything had its priority. This young girl was living with him anyway. There would be opportunities in the future. He had decided it was best to go to Sister Flower now.


    Just then, Qin Feng''s phone rang.


    "Sister Flower, I''ll be there soon, I''ll take my lunch with me. What do you want to eat? You can''t eat spicy food, so shall we eat something light?" Qin Feng asked anxiously.


    Zhu Fei, who had already entered her room, overheard and confirmed that the caller was a woman. She stopped hastily and stood at the door, eavesdropping on Qin Feng''s phone call.


    "Qin Feng, I have something to do and I have to go out. You don''t have to come over. In the afternoon, I¡¯ll go directly to the bar. If you have nothing to do, you should also get there early. You¡¯ve been performing really well recently. Once I fire the current unreliable manager of the lobby, I¡¯d really like for you to take over."


    Sister Flower was very satisfied with Qin Feng¡¯s performance. Although she hadn¡¯t known him for long, in these few days of having contact with him, she could feel that Qin Feng had been through a lot and was capable of doing great things. He was not simply a frolicking child. He was like a shark in the sea, or a hawk in the sky.


    Qin Feng was stunned for a while. He didn¡¯t care about the position of the lobby manager. He was not there to make money. As long as he was by Sister Flower¡¯s side, he would feel right. "Where are you going? Do you want me to accompany you? You''re not feeling well now, so I think it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t go out. I looked at the weather forecast earlier, and it looks like it might rain today. You could catch a fever if you¡¯re out in the cold again."


    "Brother Jun called me to tell me something. What''s more, Ji Dongchen went out last night, and Zhang Hui, Meng Zhaolin''s younger brother, kept trying to provoke me. I have to report all this to Brother Jun.¡±


    Sister Flower coughed lightly. "There are some things that you don''t understand yet. You¡¯ll know about them eventually. Things aren¡¯t so simple in this business."


    "Sister Flower, let me go with you. I provoked that kid, Ji Dongchen. If Brother Ju wants to blame someone, I can take it. I cannot let you bear this alone," Qin Feng said anxiously.


    "No, no. I have been in this scene for many years. I turned the Free Man Bar from a failed business to a profit margin of tens of millions a year. I have achieved so much for Brother Jun. How can he be angry about this little issue? Don''t worry, I¡¯ll be fine."


    Sister Flower smiled, "You are so concerned about me and I really feel a little unworthy. After all, it seems these days, only my brother is sincere towards me. Everyone else is thinking that... actually, forget it. I don¡¯t want to talk about it on the phone. I have to go."


    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Qin Feng sighed, "Okay, my phone will be on at all times. You must remember to call me at the first sign of trouble."


    "Okay, see you later."


    After hanging up, Qin Feng''s mind again mulled over the scene of Xiao He pushing him down the hillside on the banks of the Stanb River. The more she talked about how good Xiao He was, the guiltier Qin Feng felt, because Sister Flower had lost her only source of spiritual support. Although she didn¡¯t know it yet, this was all caused by Qin Feng!


    He took a long breath, his expression gloomy.


    The apartment was surprisingly quiet. After a while, Zhu Fei hopped out of her room once more.


    She had overheard some of Qin Feng''s call, and smugly smiled, "What¡¯s up? Got rejected? Don''t be sad. It''s normal, any girl with good sense knows she can do better.¡±


    Zhu Fei thought she was just messing around, but she came out to rub salt on Qin Feng''s wounds and he was not in the mood.


    "What the hell did you say?! You¡¯re an idiot and you have no idea what you¡¯re talking about!"


    He said with a menacing finger pointing at her. Qin Feng''s heart had suddenly burst into an inexplicable fire.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be such an asshole!¡± She said, fearing the rage in his eyes.


    It was just a joke. She did not expect it to draw out such a strong reaction from him. It was clear that the woman on the phone was important to him. Plus, he had just been rejected, so he was already angry.


    Qin Feng also realized his blunder, and anxiously apologized, "I am sorry, I just lost control. I am really sorry."


    "Whatever..."


    Zhu Fei was really speechless. Shedrew back her hand and stomped on his foot fiercely, then went back to her room.


    "Hey, didn''t you just invite me out to lunch? I''m free now. Let''s go get something. I think it''s a good day for a hot pot. What do you think? I heard Squared Paper opened recently. Shall we try it?"


    Qin Feng followed Zhu Fei to the door of her bedroom. She did not respond, just packed her bag, and headed out.


    "I don''t have time to eat!"


    Zhu Fei pushed past Qin Feng, who was standing by the front door, and opened the lock. She was about to leave.


    Qin Feng¡¯s face was depressed. "Hey, I was just messing with you. No need to be so serious."


    Zhu Fei was about to close the door, then her phone rang.


    Sure enough, that chode, Jia Dapeng, was calling again.


    "Fei Fei, I''m downstairs. Haha, why do you live in such a shitty place? Come on down. I''ll wait for you."


    Jia Dapeng was 1.9 meters tall and a little fat, but not ugly. However, his voice was very shrill, and he spoke in a very effeminate tone which didn¡¯t match his burly appearance.


    Zhu Fei could not stand him anymore.


    She always believed that a man should act like a man. Although she did not require broad shoulders, a V-cut, or ripped muscles, a man at least had to have a stylish outline and a strong voice, right? He was such a pansy. She didn¡¯t care that his father was Jiangbei¡¯s Director of Public Security, Jia Quan. Even if he was China''s Minister of Public Security, she still would not like him!

 Chapter 13 Arrogance

    "How do you know where I live? Who told you that?"


    Zhu Fei was stunned. "It was Yuanyuan! Wasn¡¯t it?"


    "Oh, don''t worry about that. I''m here and I¡¯m sure you''ll come down soon. If you don''t believe me, just listen to this!"


    Sure enough, a police horn sounded briefly on the street outside. "Zhu Fei, Zhu Fei, I love you just like Xing Fang loves Lin Dan, ha ha."


    The sound was very loud, and the windows in the corridor were open. Zhu Fei and Qin Feng could hear it clearly, standing at the door. Everyone on the street must have heard it.


    "Ugh, why are you making a fool of yourself? Stop shouting!"


    When Zhu Fei heard the siren, her face flushed red with anger. "Just go away! You¡¯re not getting any from me! Don''t get ahead of yourself!" she shouted into her phone.


    "Well, if you won¡¯t come down, I''ll go up. I can just go into your boudoir and take a look. I can lie down on your bed and sniff your fragrance..." Jia Dapeng said.


    Qin Feng could hear him clearly. He now understood why Zhu Fei had suddenly invited him out to lunch. She must have wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend.


    "You... Why are you so lame!?"


    Zhu Fei was so angry that she didn¡¯t know what to do with herself, pacing back and forth.


    Qin Feng reached over, grabbed the phone, and said to Jia Dapeng, "Wait there a minute; we¡¯ll be right down."


    Then he hung up.


    Downstairs, Jia Dapeng was sitting in a Middle East version of a Land Cruiser. He was petrified. Where did that male voice come from?


    He was just about to reply, but Zhu Fei had hung up the phone.


    He was so angry that he jumped out of the car, opened the trunk, picked up the special military shovel inside, and rushed to the entrance of the building. Since it was an old residential area, the front door was in disrepair. It could easily be forced open by hand.


    Jia Dapeng rushed to the fourth floor.


    Zhu Fei was dumbfounded, looking at Qin Feng. "Are you crazy? Do you even know who he is?"


    Zhu Fei just wanted to take Qin Feng out for have a meal and a picture, letting Jia Dapeng see that she was with someone so he could give up.


    But now, who would know how things would escalate?


    Besides, Zhu Fei and Qin Feng lived in the same house. This could even be considered cohabitation.


    Jia Dapeng was the only son of Jia Quan, director of the Tianhe City Public Security Bureau. He was spoiled and arrogant from childhood. He always claimed that there was nothing he couldn¡¯t deal with ¨C and no one dared to refute him.


    Jia Quan really had the ability to cover the sky with one hand. Jia Quan was a native of Tianhe, and he worked there for more than a decade as Director of public Security, growing deep roots and an extremely strong foundation. Even the current Secretary of the City Party Committee and the mayor had to courteously give way to Jia Quan.


    "I don''t care who he is. I pissed you off earlier, now I¡¯ll apologize with my actions instead of words."


    Qin Feng smiled fearlessly.


    Then, Jia Dapeng appeared, pointing at him with the spade, showing a ferocious face, and barked, "Who are you?! Get on your knees, damnit!"


    Boom!


    The son of the Director of Public Security had some backbone after all. Honestly though, even a pansy could put up this kind of posturing. With such an important father, he could afford to be overbearing in his daily interactions.


    "Come at me, I''ll tell you who I am." Qin Feng beckoned him with his index finger. "Your shovel is about to rust. This is going to be an enlightening day for you."


    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "Oh! You dare challenge me?! You must be tired of living!" Jia Dapeng said and looked through the door behind Qin Feng. He suddenly realized something. His face turned stiff, and he immediately looked at Zhu Fei. "Fei Fei, who is this dumbass? You two don''t live together, do you?"


    Whoo!


    His face was scrunched up, like a child who had just lost his favorite toy, and tears began to roll down his cheeks.


    This kind of second generation rich kid had not been bullied since childhood. His family was prominent, and generally girls would take the initiative to reach out to him. Since childhood, whenever he wanted a girl, it was impossible for her to refuse. But now, it seemed no matter what he did, he couldn¡¯t get Zhu Fei.


    Humans have a peculiar tendency: the harder something is to acquire, the more they want to possess it, especially for the more competitive men. No matter how much they paid to achieve their victory, they had to win. Thus, in Jia Dapeng''s heart, Zhu Fei''s status was growing more and more, to the point where he was obsessed with her day and night. No matter how many times he was rejected, he was too infatuated to give in. In This was not an ordinary love. His dignity, face, and status depended on it.


    He was already upset about Zhu Fei rejecting him, but now he saw her living with another man. How could the son of a Director of Public Security bear this?


    There was no choice, he had to fight!


    Zhu Fei was afraid of Qin Feng being bullied and immediately waved her hand to separate them. "No, no, we both rent single rooms in this flat. We are just... roommates. I just met him today."


    Hearing Zhu Fei''s explanation, Jia Dapeng''s heart felt a little better, but he still looked at Qin Feng. "What did you say to Laozi just now? Enlighten me?"


    "That¡¯s right. See, a son that has not been taught properly is his father¡¯s fault. Your father must not have taught you how to address people, how to be proper? You say Laozi, Laozi. Don''t you have a father?"


    Qin Feng wasn¡¯t going to give him the time of day. He couldn¡¯t stand those who showed off everywhere by relying on the power of their family. The more you are afraid of them, the more they flaunt themselves. They had to be taught a lesson.


    .


    "Shit! I dare you to say that again! You think I won¡¯t use this shovel?"


    Jia Dapeng got angry and took two steps forward, holding the shovel over his head, ready to strike.


    "I¡¯m not afraid of you. I could take you easily."


    Qin Feng folded his arms and stood his ground. He did not intend to hide in fear. Qin Feng saw that this guy cared about Zhu Fei greatly, but Zhu Fei hated him.. He had to destroy him from within. "As you can see, I have been with Zhu Fei for a long time. She didn¡¯t tell you because she was afraid of provoking you. We have been living together for some time. We have a good relationship. Every day, we have......ha. I won''t tell you that. The facts are here, and there is nothing to do about it. I know that you have been chasing Zhu Fei, but I have never said anything. If she really is loyal to me, I won¡¯t ask her to leave. If she¡¯s not, I won¡¯t ask her to stay. Today, since we¡¯ve finally met, I¡¯ll give you an ultimatum. If you understand the situation, go away now, and do not disturb Zhu Fei in the future. If you do not understand, I will make you regret ever being born. If you don''t believe me, just try me."


    Jia Dapeng did not have second thoughts. He raised the sharpened shovel. This was going to be a killing strike. "Let¡¯s go, damnit!"


    Boom!


    Zhu Fei stood beside them. Qin Feng pushed her back into the room and raised one arm, ready to block the strike.

 Chapter 14 It鈥檚 my fault

    With a bang, the shovel was sent flying through the air, bounced off the ceiling, and landed on the stairs. Jia Dapeng did not see Qin Feng doing this at all. He only felt a shock in his heart, and threw himself back. His nearly 190 jin body heavily hit the door of the apartment opposite Qin Feng¡¯s and sank to the ground.


    Qin Feng did not use his fist to attack him. He was afraid that a punch would actually kill the guy. Using the back of his hand, he relied on his strength to send Jia Dapeng flying.


    "He looks solid, and his chest has more fat than any woman''s."


    Qin Feng disdainfully shook his head, "You are such a waste of space. I can you take you one-handed."


    Jia Dapeng''s hit his head painfully. The couple who lived across from Qin Feng were at work. Otherwise the sound would have made them jump.


    He covered his head and curled up on the ground, like a shriveled shrimp. His domineering attitude was gone. He did not think Qin Feng would be so fierce. Sauntering around Tianhe City for so many years, he had never been beaten before. This was the first time.


    He used to beat people who were down on the ground. Now lying on the floor, he finally felt the taste of being beaten. It was really painful.


    Zhu Fei ran out, looking at Jia Dapeng nervously, and then looking at Qin Feng, "What did you do to him?"


    It all happened so fast.


    "I taught him a lesson. This kind of idiot will never know his place if he doesn¡¯t get beaten up a few times."


    Qin Feng squatted down and looked at Jia Dapeng, who was gradually coming back to his senses. "Why don''t I help you up and give you another chance?"


    "Who the hell are you? Are you carrying any hidden weapons?"


    Jia Dapeng naturally refused to accept it. He supported himself on the ground with one arm, struggling to stand up. He used to go to the special police unit of the Public Security Bureau to train. Although the intensity of his training could not be compared with that of the special police, after practicing fighting for so long, and with his huge body, beating three or four ordinary people shouldn¡¯t have been a problem for him at all.


    How could he surrender after just being slapped once?


    "Well, you can try again if you¡¯d like." said Qin Feng.


    Jia Dapeng suddenly attacked again, his right fist powerfully whizzing through the air. This was his best move. It was personally taught to him by the Tianhe City Special Police¡¯s chief trainer. The key to generating explosive force was to swing from the waist. Using the arm and the waist in unison could magnify the power of a strike. The essence of this move was not in the punch, but in channeling energy through the fist. The purpose was to hit the opponent¡¯s waist. If this punch connected, the opponent would turn on the spot, fall over, and no longer have the ability to fight back.


    However, Jia Dapeng had made an improvement to this technique. He did not attack Qin feng¡¯s waist with his fist. Instead, a small knife suddenly appeared in his fingertips. It was extremely sharp, and very strong. If he stabbed the waist, Qin Feng might be instantly paralyzed.


    Jia Dapeng''s actions wasted no time, fluidly moving to control the enemy.


    The moment the blade popped out, his face already wore a smirk. With this one trick, he went to the night market stalls to deliberately look for trouble, and took down one thug after another. It had proved effective every time.


    One unlucky man was stabbed in the waist meridian, which paralyzed him. He had to lie in bed for the rest of his life.


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    But even so, thanks to his father¡¯s influence, Jia Dapeng was only charged with disproportionate self-defense. He ate and drank well in the detention center and was released after a month.


    After that incident, Jia Quan was very angry. He was afraid that if the child went on like this, he would end up making a big mistake, and Jia Quan would not be able to protect him. He severely chastised Jia Dapeng all night and set up several iron rules. The first rule was not to fight again, especially with that kind of finishing move.


    After that, Jia Dapeng was more restrained. As long as he did not go looking for trouble, no one dared to mess with him. Therefore, these days, he lived comfortably. A gang of lackeys followed him around every day. The girls at his side changed ceaselessly. One day, he met Zhu Fei''s best friend, He Yuan, in a bar. He Yuan was a materialistic girl who wanted to approach Jia Dapeng, but he didn¡¯t care much for her. Although she was also quite beautiful, in his eyes, this kind of girl was more of the same; nothing to get excited about. After she got drunk in the bar, she called Zhu Fei and asked her to pick her up. Zhu Fei wore a white dress, which looked fresh and refined in the bar and was as elegant as a white swan. Jia Dapeng was playing cards nearby and fell in love with her at first sight. He approached Zhu Fei with a bottle of Jack Daniels to raise a toast, but Zhu Fei simply ignored him. After that, Jia Dapeng''s daily life changed. When he woke up in the morning, he always called Zhu Fei.


    The cold knife was inches from Qin Feng¡¯s ribs.


    He shrank back his waist. He used his left arm to block Jia Dapeng''s right fist, grabbed his wrist with his left hand, and squeezed. There was a crack. The wrist fractured. Jia Dapeng raised his head with a mad cry. The hallway resounded with his wailing as the knife fell to the floor, Qin Feng kicked it up into the air. The knife handle obediently fell into his hand. Jia Dapeng¡¯s crying was cut short as the cold blade was pressed up against his throat.


    Jia Dapeng had never been in such a state of crisis. He began trembling, ignoring the pain in his wrists, raising his arms and pulling his head back. "No, no, no!"


    "My hands get shaky when I¡¯m angry. I might accidentally cut an artery..."


    Qin Feng described, "Just a flick of my wrist, and a column of blood will spew out, splattering over three or five meters. There must be a lot of blood in this big body of yours. I bet you¡¯ll be all dried up in two or three minutes. Then I''ll call an ambulance and personally carry you downstairs, but it''s worth my life to kill you anyway. What do you say...?"


    Qin Feng was just teasing him, but the intention was obvious. Jia Dapeng, who had never suffered a loss before, should go away and not provoke him anymore. Otherwise, he will really do something bad next time.


    Sure enough, Jia Dapeng''s pupils immediately dilated. He closely followed Qin Feng¡¯s description, expanding upon it in his imagination. This kind of child, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, generally cherished his life very much. His family would feel heartache for even the smallest hurt. Even putting a Band-Aid on a scratch meant going to the hospital to get an expert diagnosis to see if there would be any lasting side-effects.


    "No, no, no, Brother! Let¡¯s make a deal! Let me go and I will never bother you again."


    Jia Dapeng had his temperament and stubbornness, but only when he had the upper hand and could control everything. Being abused like this, he knew he had to act soft and harmless.

 Chapter 15 Being bullied

    "Will you dare contact Zhu Fei in the future?"


    Jia Dapeng was stunned. He was still very reluctant to give her up, but at the thought of the blade on his neck, he could not think straight. "No, no, no!"


    "Remember what you said here in front of us."


    Qin Feng took away the knife, and said, "Today I will treat you like a fart and release you. Do not let me see you again."


    "OK, OK!"


    £¡£¡£¡


    Jia Dapeng stared at Qin Feng, then twisted his body and escaped.


    !!!


    Zhu Fei dragged Qin Feng into the house, closed the door, and shouted, "Why would you do that?!¡±


    Zhu Fei¡¯s heart was moved by Qin Feng''s actions. To tell the truth, it was good to have a man help her with this matter. His heart was kind, though he was an angry man. Not to mention, he looked really handsome while beating up Jia Dapeng...


    Zhu Fei''s heart beat wildly. She couldn¡¯t say what kind of feeling this was.


    Qin Feng laughed, "This guy is a cancer to society. No one with a conscience could tolerate him."


    "Yes, yes," Zhu Fei''s eyes immediately showed a little worry, "but his father..."


    Qin Feng waved his hand impatiently. "Well, I have means to resist. I¡¯m not afraid, because I was right. I like to teach lessons to those kinds of people."


    Zhu Fei could not help but admire him. "You are so cool. You deserve some praise."


    "Well then, make yourself useful, my lady. My stomach is screaming. To help you get rid of this burden, I suggest..."


    "Go, go, go; I''m hungry, too. I''ll treat you. Just order anything you want," Zhu Fei said excitedly.


    !!!


    .


    Jia Dapeng stumbled downstairs, once he was in his car, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. He floored the gas pedal and rushed out of the Riverside Garden like a bat out of Hell.


    After getting through, Jia Dapeng almost screamed, "Hello, Dali?" This was all so humiliating. He couldn¡¯t bear the embarrassment of being beaten this way.


    "What''s the matter, Dapeng?"


    Zhang Dali, Deputy Captain of the Tianhe Special Police Brigade, was discharged from the military last year. Before leaving the army, he was a close bodyguard of a certain commander and was once the runner-up of the entire North China military physical aptitude contest. He was known as one of the top ten Sanda masters in China.


    When he joined the Tianhe Municipal Public Security Bureau last year, he was directly assigned the post of Deputy Chief of the Special Police. He joined the army at the age of 16 and was just 24 years old that year. His career was greatly supported by Jia Quan. The intention of which was obvious - he wanted to keep this talent in his camp and develop it into his own.


    Zhang Dali was also not stupid. He naturally knew how to repay Jia Quan¡¯s support. At work and in life, he was very concerned about his family. On weekdays, director Jia had official business trips, and took part-time bodyguards and chauffeurs with him.


    Zhang Dali was a few years older than Jia Dapeng. The two had no generation gap between them, and got along swimmingly. He was the Sanda coach of the special police brigade, and it was he who taught Jia Dapeng all his tricks.


    "I..."


    Hearing Dali¡¯s voice, Jia Dapeng burst into tears. It was like seeing his loved ones; the pain he kept in his heart broke out. "I was almost killed!"


    "What? Slow down! What''s this all about? Where are you?"


    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Dali had just come out of a meeting. Hearing Dapeng¡¯s cries, he realized the seriousness of the problem. This was his master¡¯s only child. If anything happened to him, Jia Quan would surely blame it on his bodyguard.


    "Dali, I have never been so aggrieved before in my life! When my father hit me, I knew why. But what the hell?! That guy hit me! Why?!"


    Jia Dapeng drove the car madly and loudly roared, "I, Jia Dapeng, swear that if I kill him, I will take on his surname!"


    This spoiled child, who had never been put in his place, would say this when he was aggrieved for the first time. He could easily change his last name. However, he did not know how complicated society was and how many difficulties he would have to face in the future. This was what a person had to go through in his whole life.


    "Dapeng, don''t worry. Are you driving? Stop the car. I''ll find you.¡±


    Zhang Dali had always been calm. He could hear the rattle in Dapeng¡¯s voice through the phone. If he drove in this mood, something would happen.


    "Fine. I am waiting for you at New Century Square."


    Dapeng restrained his mood. He almost ran a red light and hit a bunch of old men who were crossing the road. He breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone. He ran to New Century Square - a place for citizens to relax, walk, and entertain themselves.


    Calling Zhang Dali was not enough to calm him down. At that critical moment, he had to call up the thugs who had fawned over him in the past. They were always bragging in front of him, saying a single phone call would make them run to his side, there were nothing they couldn¡¯t do in Fengyang District and even in the entire Tianhe City. Now he was going to try it out.


    After parking near the Square, Zhang Hui was the first man he called.


    Meng Zhaolin was his father''s guest. Recently, the two people had been seeing each other frequently and often playing mahjong together. Zhang Hui was one of Meng Zhaolin''s main underlings, who was good at talking and was very observant. Earlier, in Xiao Ke Bar, Zhang Hui asked somebody to introduce him to Jia Dapeng. However, they weren¡¯t enough "bridges" between them before, and the relationship was dull. Dapeng never took the initiate to return Zhang Hui¡¯s friendliness. Nowadays, based on Meng Zhaolin''s influence, Dapeng began to appreciate Zhang Hui. They got in touch through a meal. Zhang Hui asked Dapeng to come with him to the city of Cangyun, the provincial capital of Wu Cang, and even to play at the fanciest bar in Beijing. They spent about 200,000 Yuan a night and ¡°played¡± with many third-rate models and starlets.


    The phone rang for a long time, but nobody answered.


    Shit!


    Jia Dapeng cursed, and threw the mobile phone aside, "What¡®s up with him? I knew this guy was not reliable. He¡¯s just full of hot air; I can''t really count on him!"


    He opened the window, lit a cigarette, and tilted his seat back, resting his long legs on the steering wheel. His heart was melancholy. He brooded. He could not believe he would ever be bullied!!!


    "Zhu Fei, you sure are something. You dare to betray me in favor of a wild man like that. Damn it!"


    Jia Dapeng threw the cigarette butt out the window of his car. He was about to call Dali again, but an old man in a sanitation suit, holding a broom and a dustpan, came up to his window. He rolled his eyes at Dapeng and said: "Boy, you can''t be littering around here. Pay attention next time."

 Chapter 16 A contest

    The sanitation worker seemed to be more than 50 years old. He probably wasn¡¯t that old, but years of physical labor had taken their toll.


    He alone was responsible for the sanitation of the square, and he had to be there at five o''clock every morning to clean it up. Tianhe City was about to receive several government awards, so the sanitation requirements for the upcoming ceremonies were very high. He had been on duty for 12 hours a day, ten days in a row. Recently, the daytime temperature had been fluctuating at 37 or 38 degrees, and he had almost suffered a sunstroke several times.


    It was everyone''s duty to care for the environment. After giving Dapeng a piece of his mind, the sanitation worker bent down to sweep the cigarette butt into the dustpan.


    Just as he was about to leave, the broad and heavy door of the Land Cruiser suddenly opened, hitting his back.


    The trash from his dustpan spread all over the ground. After stumbling a few steps, the sanitation worker fell heavily on the ground.


    Jia Dapeng jumped out of the car, slammed the door, picked up the broom on the floor, and began to hit the old man with it!


    "What the hell, I just threw it, so what? So what?!" He roared in a loud voice. People in the square started looking at him, but no one dared stop him. The old man lay on the ground, moaning. Bamboo brooms were tough, and they really hurt.


    Soon there were traces of blood on his legs and back. He lay on the ground, his head in his arms, his helpless eyes glaring pleadingly at the crowd. He longed for someone to help him, but no one had the guts to intervene.


    A few hot-blooded young men, who couldn''t stand it anymore approached to help the old man, but seeing the expensive Land Cruiser with its V8 engine next to Jia Dapeng, they decided to retreat. That was not something ordinary people could afford. Who would dare to rush headlong into trouble?


    Finally, a traffic policeman on duty not far from the square saw the situation and drove over.


    Three traffic cops got out of the car. Two were newly-graduated young boys, and were temporary workers. The third was a man in his 30''s, with a round figure and fleshy face. Technically, he was in charge. They activated the siren, and the crowd that gathered dispersed in a hurry.


    The three traffic cops saw that Jia Dapeng had already broken the broom in half over the old man¡¯s back.


    The sanitation worker on the ground howled and passed out!


    "Stop!"


    The round traffic policeman pointed at Jia Dapeng and shouted, "What are you doing? You dare violently attack an old man in broad daylight?! Do you think there aren¡¯t any laws?!"


    Jia Dapeng was dripping with sweat. He threw the broom on the ground and looked back at the three policemen, disdainfully growling, "I am the law! You hear me? I will do the same to you, and you better believe it!"


    "You dare?! Are you tired of living, kid?" The fat traffic cop scoffed.


    Just then, the two young policemen at his sides whispered in the fat cop¡¯s ears, "Boss, this man drives a Land Cruiser. He probably has good backing to be this arrogant. We should get out of here.......... This old man on the ground also has nothing to do with us. We just need to maintain good traffic order!"


    "Who cares about the Land Cruiser? Everyone¡¯s watching. If we leave now, we¡¯ll lose face. Don¡¯t you know you have to do something bold and glorious to get promoted? Nowadays many young people try to satisfy their vanity when they can¡¯t really afford it. They have a bit of money at home, so they pay a down payment and buy luxury cars to show off. Every month they have to do all kinds of credit card tricks to keep up with the payments, until the inevitable bankruptcy. The bank still has to take back the car."


    If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    The fat traffic policeman was naturally well-informed, and he was sure that if he dealt with this matter adequately, he would certainly be praised by the masses. This was now a crucial opportunity for him to be promoted to a deputy captain in the City Traffic Police Department. He had to do something impressive to outdo his competitors!


    "Boss, then let''s do him in...?"


    One of the younger policemen used to be a soldier and had a hot temper. He had been trying to show off in front of the boss, and now he had a chance.


    "Definitely!"


    The fat traffic cop took the lead with a baton.


    The right and left cops kept up, straightened their chests, and prepared for a hard fight.


    These days, law enforcement departments like the traffic police, as long as they stayed on major highways, they could make people do what they say by picking on regular drivers. No need to mention them running into Jia Dapeng, the son of a bitch who oppressed the old and weak.


    As for the police in China, serving the people is mostly a slogan. The sense of superiority brought about by the enjoyment of special privileges is their fundamental pursuit.


    There was no need to mention the old man in the report at all. The Land Cruiser wasn¡¯t parked in the parking lots on the east and west sides of the square as requested, but instead it was parked on the side of the road, which was illegal. The fat traffic cop was justified in any case.


    "Hello."


    The fat traffic cop gave a mechanical salutation. This was standard procedure. People were starting to pull out phones and turn on their cameras, so he had to be polite.


    "Fuck you! Get out of here!"


    Jia Dapeng opened the door of the car and took out a Taser directly from the storage box. When he pressed the switch, it made a crackling sound.


    The noise was extremely intense, and the three traffic policemen looked like mice that had seen a prowling cat. They backed away a few meters.


    "Hah! What a bunch of wimps. Look how scared they are."


    Seeing this scene, people in the crowd began jeering and complaining one after another. "I already know they are not reliable. Someone has just called the police and an ambulance. I think they will be here soon. Things are getting out of hand today. The guy with the Land Cruiser is probably a hallucinating drug addict; otherwise, how could he freak out so hard about a cigarette butt? Doesn''t he know the consequences?"


    The fat cop looked at his comrade on the right and said boldly, "Guo Ming, it¡¯s time we hit the front. It¡¯s time to show your skills. For our Second Squadron and in the name of all unjustly wronged old people on the ground, take this crazy bastard down!!!!"


    He did not forget to shake his arms about, egging on the crowd around him. A thundering wave of applause echoed out on the square.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a warm-blooded traffic cop!¡± someone yelled out.


    Whatever the purpose of their actions, at least they dared fight evil. In today''s society, where people are in need of safety, this was a rare quality.


    "Don''t worry, boss, I won¡¯t kill him!"


    The right cop loosened his wrists and cracked his knuckles. He loosened the buttons of his uniform, revealing his strong muscles.


    Whoosh!


    He rushed forward like a gale. Three meters away from Jia Dapeng, he shot into the air, his left leg kicked out towards Dapeng!


    Jia Dapeng really couldn¡¯t stand his ground in the face of such a swift and violent movement. He staggered back and raised his Taser, but the rod struck the rubber sole of the cop¡¯s boot and had no effect. This same boot was about to land on Jia Dapeng''s sternum. In that moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of nowhere.

 Chapter 17 A Big Misunderstanding

    He did a backflip on the spot, legs kicking out. One foot landed on the cop¡¯s shank. With a roar, his whole person flipped over in midair. He flew out three or four meters and fell heavily on the ground, arms clasped around his bruised lower leg, convulsing like he¡¯d suffered an electric shock. It was a force that could break the sky - invincible!


    Everyone around was horrified to see this.


    The fat traffic cop backed away a few steps, afraid of to be hurt himself. Looking at the master who suddenly appeared in front of him, he felt like he looked somewhat familiar but he couldn¡¯t quite remember where he had seen him before.


    "Dali, there you are!"


    Jia Dapeng¡¯s backer had arrived, so he naturally pressed his advantage, raising the Taser to attack the cop curled up on the ground!


    TAGADAGADAGA, his whole body trembled. This kind of special police Taser could even cause death if it was poked against someone¡¯s heart for more than five seconds.


    Zhang Dali had violated the discipline of the Special Police and stolen it for Dapeng, for self-protection. He told him that he could not take it out unless he had to, but Jia Dapeng was in a bad mood. Frustrated, he took it out to intimidate his opponents.


    "What are you doing?"


    The traffic cop on the ground was almost knocked clean out by Dapeng¡¯s Taser. Zhang Dali grabbed the Taser and angrily said, "Didn¡¯t I tell you that you can¡¯t use this thing? You¡¯re asking for trouble!"


    There were other Tasers on the market, but they were different from those used exclusively by SWAT officers. Every SWAT Taser had a code. If this kind of gear made its way into civilian hands and was used wantonly in street fights, it could really do some serious damage. It''s a crime, not a joke!


    "It was a fucking challenge towards me. I wasn¡¯t going to kill him!"


    Jia Dapeng straightened his untidy hair. He was sweating profusely. Most days he¡¯d get drunk, that made his body weak.


    "What happened to that old man?" Zhang Dali continued to ask.


    "He dared to tell me off when I threw a cigarette. He¡¯s outlived his due date; he¡¯s just a pile of cheap bones!"


    Jia Dapeng spat towards the old man, who was already passed out. His actions were repeatedly criticized by the crowd, but from the beginning to the end, no one dared to actually stand up to him.


    Zhang Dali''s nature was not bad. He was from a small, poor family, eager to live a good life. Having developed a whole set of skills, he was also favored by Director Jia Quan.


    Therefore, he desperately wanted to move up in the world through this job and change his fate.


    He also disliked Jia Dapeng''s style. However, he had to put up with it, adapt to it, and even cover up for him on occasion!


    This was what a bodyguard should do. If he did his job well, he could change his fate with a single word from Jia Quan¡¯s.


    Similarly, if he didn¡¯t do well, just one sentence could send him back home!


    "Dapeng, don''t do this. Calm down. Didn''t you say someone was bullying you? Let''s go. I''ll take care of this. You''re shouldn¡¯t stay here; it''s too eye-catching. You¡¯ll get your dad in trouble."


    Zhang Dali came in plain clothes. A black V-neck shirt, a pair of wide-legged JEEP trousers, and outdoor shoes with wolf claw designs. The lines of his bulging muscles were clearly visible through his shirt.


    Jia Dapeng was not stupid and he had now vented his anger. The fire in his brain had subsided. The internet and WeChat were ubiquitous these days. If they were really caught on camera and the video was posted on the internet, anyone could find out that he hit the old man. It was going to get his dad in trouble. "Okay, I''ll go ahead; call me when you''re done."


    Although the fat traffic cop was extremely averse to watching Jia Dapeng arrogantly leave, he was more afraid of being electrocuted. Even if he couldn¡¯t show off this time, he would still have another chance later, but if he put himself in the thick of it, he stood to lose a lot.


    Jia Dapeng stared at the traffic cops, snorting disdainfully, "Take care when you go out in the future."


    After that, he jumped into the Land Cruiser, started the car and whistled at the crowd in front of him. The crowd scrambled out of the way, and the car roared out. He did not expect to hear the loud sirens of police squad cars coming after him. Two police cars appeared, blocking the road in front of the Land Cruiser!!!


    The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    VRRRRRMMMM!


    Jia Dapeng stepped on the throttle and surged forward!


    Behind the squad cars came a roaring ambulance. The crowd was anxious to get out of the way. The ambulance entered the scene and three or four doctors and nurses in white coats quickly jumped off and rushed to the comatose sanitation worker.


    Jia Dapeng jumped back out of the car. Seeing it was the real crime-fighting police that blocked his path, he naturally began getting worried!


    The City Police Station received a report from citizens that someone with a broomstick was beating a sanitation worker in New Century Square. He seemed to be high or drunk. The two police cars had actually arrived 5 minutes ago. Of the eight policemen, only two were official officers. They had a lot of experience, and carefully looked across the street at the cars that the rioters were driving over here. They knew they were worth a fortune.


    They would avoid a fight if possible. But if he doesn''t control himself well, he would spread out the matter to a certain extent. Now that the Internet spread information so fast, people couldn¡¯t just sit back and watch. Even if you might want to call the person in charge, he couldn¡¯t ignore it. It was all about the badge on their shoulders. To be honest, they were afraid of being reported for inaction.


    Seeing that the situation was escalating further and further and could no longer resolve itself, the two police cars made use of the gap when the rioters started the car, brushed across the road, and rushed directly to the entrance to the square.


    Jia Dapeng arrogantly kicked the front of the nearest police car. Of the eight cops, only two were full-fledged police officers on duty, while the others were all auxiliaries, making less than 2,000 Yuan a month.


    People were not stupid. When something happened, no one would rush forward, especially when it came to Jia Dapeng, who was very strong and completely fearless. Those who dared to kick a police car were either crazy or confident that they had nothing to fear from the cops!!!


    Zhang Dali, afraid of the situation getting worse, ran over and asked, "Which of you are on regular payroll?"


    Two cops looked at each other and stepped forward. "What''s wrong?"


    Zhang Dali approached and whispered a few words to them, then took out his mobile phone and called Li Faxian, the director of the City Police Station.


    Being able to receive the city special police detachment deputy commander''s call, Li Faxian was extremely excited. After inquiring about the situation, he immediately told Zhang Dali to pass the phone to the nearest officer and told him, "You are blind. That is the special police deputy commander. The guy with him is the son of the head of the Minucipal Public Security Bureau, Jia Quan! Let them go immediately! In fact, provide an escort for them. Disperse the crowd. If there were any videos taken, request them to be deleted on the spot. Arrest anyone who refuses."


    After the cop answered the phone, his face turned green, and he said to Zhang Dali and Jia Dapeng with trepidation, "Oh my God. Commander, This was just a big misunderstanding. I''m really sorry! I''m sorry. I''m sorry."


    The six auxiliary policemen dispersed and drove away the crowd. This incident had to be covered up and not be allowed to cause any trouble to Director Jia.


    Jia Dapeng nodded contentedly, lightly hitting the nearest cop¡¯s shoulder and saying, "You¡¯re smart. You two know each other. Otherwise, I¡¯d have you take out of this uniform within minutes."


    "Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Jia, take your time."


    One of the officers anxiously said, "We will escort you wherever you¡¯re going."


    "No, it''s too eye-catching. I like to keep a low profile," Jia Dapeng swaggered.


    Zhang Dali did not like this kind of pretentious style, but there was little he could do about it. In this situation, if he did not make use of Director Jia¡¯s name, it would have been impossible to put an end to the matter so effortlessly.


    At that moment, a white 3.0T Audi Q5 passed by.


    Zhu Fei was driving the car and Qin Feng sat beside her. They were about to go to the western side of New Century Square to eat boiled fish with bean sprouts for lunch.

 Chapter 18 Street trouble

    From a distance Qin Feng saw many people gathered around the square. There were police cars and an ambulance. He teased Zhu Fei the whole way. He opened the window and lit a cigarette. "There must have been an accident. Ah, there are too many lousy drivers running people over."


    Zhu Fei grumbled, "It¡¯s alright, although I¡¯m not the best driver, I drive slowly. As long as I drive carefully, nothing bad will happen."


    "The one who got hit was a sanitation man," he said. "Oh, what a pity."


    Qin Feng sighed.


    Zhu Fei glanced over when she heard the words ¡®sanitation worker¡¯. Suddenly, she slammed her foot on the brakes. The car behind almost crashed into her.


    "What are you doing!?" Qin Feng hurriedly shouted, "Keep moving! You have to get off the lane before you stop!"


    "That''s my father!" Zhu Fei¡¯s face turned dull, and she madly rushed out of the car onto the road. The speeding taxi speeding past almost sent her flying!


    Qin Feng saw it, also anxious to chase after her.


    The Audi Q5 stopped in the middle of the road, and the driver''s door was still open, blocking the entire road. Three cars in the back bumped into each other because the drivers weren¡¯t paying enough attention.


    Zhang Dali had already taken control of the situation, and Jia Dapeng was about to leave the scene, but then Zhu Fei and Qin Feng showed up¡­


    "Dad!" Zhu Fei desperately ran forward, urgently calling, "Dad!"


    A paramedic met her and said, "Hello, are you the daughter of the injured man?"


    "Yes, what happened to my father?"


    Zhu Fei grabbed the back door of the ambulance and climbed into the carriage. She knelt in front of the stretcher, grabbed her father''s hand, and shook it violently. "Dad, Dad! What''s wrong with you? What happened?"


    "He was knocked out and requires immediate treatment at the hospital. He is too weak right now!" the attending doctor said with a serious look on his face.


    "Beaten? Who did it? Who?!"


    Zhu Fei suddenly broke out into a rage. If the incident had been caused by accident, she could forgive the other side. But she would absolutely never forgive her dad being beaten like this, at his age!!!


    The doctor turned over his body. The whole back and legs were covered with blood and bruises. It was a miserable sight.


    Just then, Jia Dapeng seemed to hear Zhu Fei''s voice, and came over.


    Next to him was Zhang Dali and eight policemen, a strong lineup. The three traffic cops had already gone to the roadside to direct traffic and the congestion at the scene quickly improved.


    Jia Dapeng ignored Qin Feng and looked around for Zhu Fei. "Fei Fei? What are you doing here?"


    "Did you do this?" Zhu Fei rushed out of the ambulance, red-eyed.


    "This old man?"


    Jia Dapeng glanced over Zhu Fei''s comatose father and laughed, "Yes. A smelly sanitation worker decided to spew nonsense at me! He didn¡¯t let me throw a cigarette. Shit. And he talked back to me. Isn''t that a death wish? Stupid old man!"


    With the support of Zhang Dali and the policemen, Jia Dapeng deliberately began to show off in front of Qin Feng.


    He came just in time. Originally, Jia Dapeng wanted to look for Qin Feng to take revenge on him after dealing with the mess at the square. He did not expect that Qin Feng would come to him.


    When Zhu Fei heard this, she raised her hand to slap Jia Dapeng. Just before she made contact, a hand shot through the air and powerfully caught her wrist.


    Zhang Dali said coldly, "Just talk. Don''t do it."


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    He slowly loosened his grip on Zhu Fei.


    At that moment, the attending doctor said, "Ma''am, your father can¡¯t wait. We have to hurry to the hospital."


    Zhu Fei''s mood was almost out of control, desperately crying and shouting at Jia Dapeng. Hearing the doctor, he finally understood that the sanitation worker he beat up was Zhu Fei''s father!


    Impossible.


    Jia Dapeng''s face was incredulous. Zhu Fei¡¯s temperament was elegant, generous. Anyone who saw her would think her to be a princess from a rich family. How could she be a sanitation worker''s daughter? It was beyond logic and above reason.


    Even Qin Feng was puzzled. How could these two people be father and daughter? They seemed to be from entirely different worlds!


    But how could Zhu Fei be foolish enough to wrongly identify her own father?


    There had to be an unknown story in here!


    Qin Feng kept his cool. This was not the time to fight. This Jia Dapeng could not run away from him; sooner or later he he would make him pay the price. Now, the most urgent matter was to send Zhu Fei''s father to the hospital. Life is critical.


    Every minute saved on the way to the hospital increased the chances of his recovery!


    "Zhu Fei, calm down; go to the hospital first, and wait for your dad to wake up!"


    Qin Feng held the raging Zhu Fei, dragging her back to the Audi Q5.


    By then, Audi Q5 had already been pulled over to the roadside by the fat traffic cop. The ticket had been issued; it was only waiting for the owner to receive it.


    "Doctor, hurry up to the hospital. We''ll be right there!" Qin Feng said.


    "Yes!" The door of the ambulance closed and the siren went off as the vehicle shot into the road..


    Jia Dapeng shouted after Qin Feng, "Stop!" Are you playing dumb?"


    Qin Feng did not reply, facing the fat traffic cop, who came up to hand them the ticket.


    Zhu Fei was shoved into the passenger seat, and he got behind the wheel.


    Jia Dapeng did not give up. With three cops in tow, they directly surrounded the Q5.


    Zhu Fei yelled, "They are thugs! I''ll drive! I¡¯ll kill them all!" she cried desperately with tears in her eyes.


    Qin Feng seemed very calm. "Fasten your seat belt."


    The gear was still on Park. Qin Feng stepped on the gas. The car did not move, but the roar of the engine made the cops jump back. The deafening honk of the car horn followed. Even Zhang Dali was flustered by this movement, and everyone thought that Qin Feng was going to run someone over.


    As soon as Qin Feng saw a gap open up, he put the pedal to the metal and the car lurched forward. In the blink of an eye, they broke out.


    Looking at the Audi drawing away, Jia Dapeng roared, "Shit! Get in the car!"


    Zhang Dali, however, hesitated, "Dapeng, this is not good. It¡¯ll draw too much attention."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "You just beat up her father and are now chasing her to the hospital. You¡¯re making a huge fuss; it''ll be hard to cover this up."


    Zhang Dali was not only a great fighter, but intelligent as well. "Let''s wait for now. Find someone to go to the hospital and explore the situation. If the sanitation worker recovers, we will go looking for that guy. But if you messed up that sanitation worker too badly, then you¡¯ll have to hide. Too many people saw it; we can¡¯t make it go away."


    "Shit! So much trouble just to get rid of him. Come on!"


    Although Jia Dapeng¡¯s heart was not willing, he still listened to Zhang Dali''s words. He also knew that if he continued to fight, he might cause trouble for his father.

 Chapter 19 Rage in the tea house

    If he had simply been bullied by Qin Feng before, he would want to take revenge and had every right to. That was no problem.


    Now however, Zhu Fei¡¯s father was involved and things were more complicated.


    Youpeng tea house, a luxurious teahouse on the third floor.


    Sister Flowers had just reported several matters at hand to Zhao Jun.


    His upper body was naked, with two dragon tattoos exposed on his torso. He was wearing a pair of flowery trousers, reclining on an expensive Luo Han bed made of pear wood. There were two well-polished playing walnuts in his hand. Each looked like it was worth at least 20,000 Yuan.


    At the back of Luo Han''s bed, there was a beautiful Kowloon Guishan screen. Behind the screen, there was a suite built according to the standards of the President''s Suite, designed for him to have sex with girls after he had used drugs in comfort.


    This was his stronghold. The entire tea house had exterior decorations in antique style. The first floor hall was for serious business, separated by a lot of small partitions for guests to drink tea and talk about business. The second to fourth floors were special places. Basically, whatever men wanted could be provided, so long as they had enough money.


    "Golden Flower, since you took charge of the Free Man Bar, I have rarely intervened. Many of the rules I have made myself have been abolished. To tell the truth, you were bold to do so. Did Ru Ru and Pei Xiang dare? The answer is no. What makes me treat you so exceptionally is that you are superior than them when it comes to vision and sense of responsibility. In any case, the Free Man Bar¡¯s sales have always been some of the best among the three businesses. Even though your ladies are unable to come up with them.


    ¡°Many special services have been cancelled, but it is good to make money. In the long run, you were right to do so. But in this way, in our regular operation, there is no need to pay protection fees to the relevant departments. Even if we pay, it is also only a symbolic payment. This is also one of the main reasons for your high income. But have you thought about it? Those types who chew people up and don¡¯t even bother to spit out their bones precisely aim at us at this point. You want to play the formal game, but they are not adapted to it. You followed the rules, but did they admit it? As time goes on, they will resent the Free Man Bar. They can''t find a problem with you, so there is no reason for them to demand money. But don¡¯t you know what kind of man Jia Quan is? I advise you to restore the regulations of ladies appearing on the stage. You should display filial piety. Anyway, our relationship over the years has made easy progress from experience. I guarantee they won¡¯t close the bar. We can, at the most change the signboard, and re-register a new trademark and legal owner."


    Zhao Jun painstakingly advised Xiao Jinhua. The reason he said so much was to exempt her from the rules that had previously not allowed ladies to appear on the stage, so that Zhao Jun could earn more. Taking advantage of Jinhua¡¯s handiwork made his most important relations more solid.


    "Brother Jun, as far as Jia Quan is concerned, there is another matter that I have not reported to you. Ji Jiangshan and Jia Quan are brothers, aren''t they? His son, Ji Dongchen, got into trouble with the Free Man Bar last night."


    "What? What happened?"


    Zhao Jun¡¯s eyes sank.


    "Ji Dongchen mistreated a pair of younger sisters in the back rooms last night, pinching them with walnut tongs, turning them black and blue, and even having sex in the private room. The frightened ladies ran out of the room, but Ji Dongchen did not give up. After I went over, I explained the rules of the Free Man Bar. He could flirt with the ladies, but he had to do it outside the bar. No matter how he liked to play, some things were not allowed at the Free Man Bar. However, not only did he not listen, but he..."


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Sister Flower was not stupid. She naturally knew how to add more provocation in her words.


    " What happened?"


    "He said you were out of date, and he didn¡¯t give a damn about you at all! I was angry with him, and he raised his hands, ready to fight. Fortunately, we had just recruited a waiter at the bar; an ex-soldier who¡¯s pretty handy in a fight. He knocked Ji Dongchen down a couple times."


    Xiao Jinhua actually wanted to take the opportunity to put in a few good words for Qin Feng in front of Brother Jun, so as to create opportunities to promote Qin Feng later.


    But then...


    Zhao Jun abruptly sat up, astonished, "What? knocked him down?"


    Bang!


    Zhao Jun threw his ashtray to the ground, debris spattering everywhere, almost cutting Sister Flower¡¯s shank.


    "Are you nuts?!"


    Zhao Jun pointed to Sister Flower and barked, "Don¡¯t you know who Ji Jiangshen is in Tianhe? You provoked him for a bar girl. Are you stupid?" You know that he and Jia Quan are brothers, but you still provoked them. Do you think he can¡¯t do anything to you because you¡¯re running a legal business? You rarely flatter them, and you haven¡¯t been paying them a lot of money. I am afraid Jia Quan has hated you for a long time. What part of Tianhe City¡¯s nightlife does he not have a stake in? This incident is not accidental. It may have been deliberately arranged by Jia Quan."


    Zhao Jun was angry, standing on the Luo Han bed and walking back and forth with his hands on his waist.


    At that moment, Ru Ru came out from behind the screen, her hair wet. She had just accompanied Zhao Jun and was in the shower.


    "Oh, who might this be? It turns out to be a sister of flowers, who rises unsullied from the mud! It¡¯s you who makes our Brother Jun so angry. If it were up to me, you would have been sold to the mines already."


    Ruru said sarcastically.


    Ru Ru and Pei Xiang were at odds with Xiao Jinhua. They had served Zhao Jun many times at the same time, but Brother Jun, who could promise anything, was unwilling to remove Xiao Jinhua from her position.


    They were respectively in charge of the Supersonic and Nocturniae nightclubs. Although their business was also OK, it contained too many dangerous elements: drug trading, prostitution, gambling, and so on. Although the income was good, since they played so wildly all year round, they had to pay a protection fee to the authorities. Those people were not obedient dogs. They agreed on a price, but after a few days they would turn around and come to check, saying their superiors asked for a surprise inspection. In fact, it was clear that they came to ask for more money. If they didn¡¯t get it, then they would be justified in shutting down the venue. Then they would need to pay more money to reopen it. Thus, half of the money earned was given to the officials, and then they still had to give Brother Jun his cut, with not much left for them.


    But Xiao Jinhua, not only did she not serve Brother Jun herself, she also made her business "innocent". She could completely ignore the protection rackets. Therefore, although the Free Man Bar looked inferior to Supersonic and Nocturniae, Xiao Jinhua actually made the most money.


    So, Ru Ru and Pei Xiang were jealous and resentful of Xiao Jinhua. They always wanted to find an opportunity to tear her down.


    Xiao Jinhua was both self-contained and productive. She not only kept her dignity, but also saved money. It could be said that she gained both fame and fortune!


    Brother Jun didn''t want to throw away this cash machine. No matter how many bad things Ru Ru and Pei Xiang said about Xiao Jinhua behind her back, Brother Jun did not care.


    But this time, Xiao Jinhua''s actions made Brother Jun very angry!


    Having put Brother Jun¡¯s most sensitive position at risk didn¡¯t leave her in his good side. In Tianhe city, anyone who wanted to operate in the nightlife field couldn¡¯t provoke Jia Quan. Even though she had only provoked Ji Jiangshan''s son, Zhao Jun''s intuition told him this matter was not going to be that simple!...

 Chapter 20 An Unlikely Relation

    Even if Ji Dongchen''s personal behavior was inappropriate, if Jia Quan could smell the wind of opportunity, he would certainly take advantage of it!


    "Ru Ru, if you have anything to say, don''t be a coward. Don''t mess with me in front of Brother Jun."


    Although Xiao Jinhua was in the process of being trained for higher management, in the face of Ru Ru, she had never been soft. She simply did not like people who only knew how to make money in bed.


    "You... How dare you be so arrogant? Can¡¯t you see you just put yourself in danger? I''d like to see how you solve this problem!"


    Ru Ru wished the worst upon Xiao Jinhua, she could completely lose her skin and Ru Ru would only celebrate. Hopefully then, she¡¯d roll out of Tianhe City.


    "Well, Ru Ru, it''s all going to be alright. "


    Zhao Jun was angry. This matter should not be underestimated. He had to take corresponding measures immediately.


    "Brother Jun, you should teach her a good lesson!" Yelled Ru Ru.


    She pinched his ass, reluctantly leaving the private room.


    The door slammed with a bang.


    Zhao Jun relaxed his breath and relaxed his mood. "Did she not scare you just now?"


    "No, not at all," Xiao Jinhua said.


    "Jinhua, you know what I have done for you all these years. Ru Ru and Pei Xiang have talked my ears off, but I haven''t touched you. As long as you can pay the money on time every month and the Free Man Bar runs normally, everything will be all right between us. But you have to stay out of trouble. Do you think Ji Jiangshan is just a personal problem that will only affect the Free Man''s bar? They won''t do anything to you, but they''ll come after me, do you understand that? Even Supersonic and Nocturniae, and my other industries, will be majorly affected, you know? If Ji Jiangshan goes to Jia Quan to tell him about the incident, I will have to pay money, millions of yuan at least. Even then, that¡¯s still fine. But if he is really angry and he wants to knock your stubborn temper down a notch, that will not be a matter of money. Even if it is dealt with well, I will have to put in years of work and money to manage it!!! Do you understand? Ji Dongchen calls Jia Quan Godfather. I have seen that boy; he¡¯s very bossy. A spoiled child. You think he can be bullied? There''s no end to this!"


    Zhao Jun said seriously.


    After hearing this, Jinhua came to realize the seriousness of the problem. Over the past few years, she had experienced many big waves and had been able to land safely on the ground every time; but this time, things were really serious.


    The only solution was to appease Ji Dongchen before Jia Quan could hear about his godson being bullied.


    "Do not worry, Brother Jun. I am going to take care of what I have caused. I know what to do with Ji Dongchen. He will be satisfied. Even if I have to beg him, I won''t get you into trouble."


    Xiao Jinhua said.


    "By the way, who beat him up? A veteran, you said?"


    Zhao Jun¡¯s eyes shook. "Go to apologize with him. If it is really not OK, according to the rules of the streets, cut his fingers. In good faith. In short, minimize the impact of this matter at all costs. Strangle it in the cradle!"


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhua''s brain was shocked. She now knew that she shouldn¡¯t keep talking about Qin Feng. She wanted to show him off to Zhao Jun, but that idea was now over.


    Noticing that Xiao Jinhua had hesitated, Zhao Jun continued, "Don''t hesitate. There¡¯s a price for everything. He¡¯s just a waiter. Just chop off his fingers and get some money to get him out of here. In the future, recruit flexible people. Don¡¯t hire those who come up to fight. If he really hit someone who should not be hit, you and I will be finished!!!"


    "I see."


    Xiao Jinhua nodded thoughtfully.


    Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    Zhao Jun looked at her up and down. The corners of his mouth flashed a smile of evil charm. Xiao Jinhua was wearing a semi-transparent black yarn dress. There was a cover for the bottom area and key places were not transparent at all. But it¡¯s these somewhat revealing clothing that cause the most temptation. Zhao Jun had long wanted to engage a more intimate relationship with Xiao Jinhua, but she had never seemed willing. Zhao Jun was afraid to provoke his money maker. If she ran away, the loss would be incalculable.


    But now that Xiao Jinhua was in trouble, he knew he could take advantage of the opportunity to make conditions.


    "Jinhua, if Ji Dongchen must be pacified correctly, if he isn¡¯t, I will also have to intervene in this matter. He surely knows this. Even if Jia Quan has not made a move until now, it is likely because I have been honoring him all these years, but a person like him won¡¯t stay quiet for long. Jia Quan is a rogue. If you go to him, it¡¯s not likely things will go smoothly. See where I¡¯m going with this?"


    Zhao Jun stepped out of the bed. He walked towards Xiao Jinhua, "You know, if you want the Free Man Bar to continue making money, we¡¯ll have to go to the suite to discuss more about this topic. For some things, simply talking face-to-face is not enough."


    Xiao Jinhua naturally knew what Zhao Jun was implying. She hesitated, retreated, and did not give Zhao Jun the chance to get her alone. She jumped out of the room with a grip on the doorknob. "Brother Jun, I think it¡¯s best if I go to get rid of this Ji Dongchen problem first, before it''s too late. Rest easy, I¡¯ll see you again soon."


    At that moment, Zhao Jun''s mobile phone rang. He chased her to the door, angrily stomping his feet. Damn it. I¡¯ll let you go this time, but you cannot escape my grasp for long!!!


    He went back to his room and looked at the cell phone. It was Meng Zhaolin.


    !!!


    The People''s Hospital. Outside the operating room.


    Zhu Fei was anxiously waiting for her father''s surgery, pacing back and forth in the corridor.


    Qin Feng brought a boxed lunch from the hospital canteen. " When I said I wanted to have a meal with you, I did not expect it to be in the middle of this incident. Here, eat something.¡±


    "You eat it. I can''t eat right now."


    Zhu Fei was not in the mood to eat now. Her father''s chance at survival was uncertain. She was dying of worry.


    "Don''t give up on him yet. Your father cleans outside all year round. He¡¯s been getting a lot of exercise. His bones should be very strong. Fortunately, Jia Dapeng, that bastard, only hit him with the broom. It should only be some flesh wounds. It all depends on whether your father can resist them."


    Qin Feng said soothingly.


    "Jia Dapeng! I can''t forgive him."


    At the mention of that bastard, Zhu Fei would get very angry. If Qin Feng hadn¡¯t blocked her from him, she would have torn the guy to pieces!!!


    "Well, I''m sure my father won''t forgive him when he gets settled!"


    Qin Feng was still thinking of something more puzzling - Zhu Fei¡¯s identity.


    She seemed bright, drove a luxury car, and had an extraordinary temperament, but nobody would expect her father to be a sanitation worker.


    Qin Feng did not look down on sanitation workers. The laborers were the greatest working people, but the curiosity stemmed from the difference between those two people being too great. No one would imagine that they were father and daughter.


    Noticing that Zhu Fei''s mood had eased a little bit, Qin Feng asked, "Are you a native of Tianhe? Since you¡¯re renting a house on the riverside, I thought you were a non-native."


    "Why do you ask?"


    Zhu Fei said sensitively.


    "No reason. I just feel like-¡±


    Zhu Fei interrupted, "You think my father and I don¡¯t look alike, right?"

 Chapter 21 Zhu Fei鈥檚 identity

    "Well, I was a little surprised.¡±


    Zhu Fei sighed. She sat down and drank a mouthful of mineral water. She began her story, "My father and mother got divorced when I was very young. My father was gentle, an honest man. At the time, he worked at the Tianhe State Refinery. His skills were great, but because he didn''t know how to drill, he couldn''t get promoted. Later, the refinery was reformed. See, he belonged to the first batch of skilled workers who had been relocated to Tianhe from southern Jiangsu, all of those workers were laid off. At the time, my mother couldn''t stand it and the situation it put us in, so she divorced him. I was only 10 years old at the time. I liked being with my father as a child, he was very kind to me. Everything revolved around me, I was his little princess. After the divorce, I wanted to go with him, but the court ruled against it. They believed my father couldn¡¯t afford to support me as a laid-off worker with no steady income. Soon, my mother remarried. She married a rich businessman in our hometown of Sunan; that man had a lot of money. I lived with them until a few months ago, then I couldn''t stand it anymore. My stepdad was drunk one night... and he tried to take advantage of me. I didn''t want to tell my mom about it, because she was too fond of her rich lifestyle. If I told her, I knew she would fight with my stepfather. After she gave birth to me, she could not give birth anymore because of congenital fallopian tube problems. They never really had a strong emotional foundation, so I knew if they were to quarrel, my mother would get kicked out of the house. My stepfather also wanted to introduce his business partner¡¯s son to me, with hopes that he could arrange that marriage. I took that opportunity to pretend to be upset and ran away from home. Back then, I had a big fight with my mother, but my stepfather didn¡¯t take it seriously. He said that he would let me go out and experience the cruelty of society firsthand. He said I only knew the warmth of home because I¡¯d lived in a honeypot ever since I was a child; that I was born blessed and do not know it. I would definitely come back on my own initiative. I scoffed at him. I did not believe it. I was sure I could support myself. That night, I drove from Sunan to Tianhe City. In order to better adapt myself to civilian life and feel that ¡®cruelty of society¡¯, I rented in this run-down house, but after a few days, I found that life was not as simple as I thought. Then... I began to spend money to redecorate. After all, it was my own place to live. There was no need for it to be too humble."


    Hearing this, Qin Feng chuckled. He understood the matter thoroughly, and he kept his calm demeaner. "I see. No wonder I felt there was something unusual about you. You clearly had the temperament of a girl from a well-off family. This attitude cannot be faked; it is formed by having wealth from a young age. You feel a little regret about renting in that house, but you do not want to be defeated by life so soon. You do not want to talk to your family and do not want to rent a fancy apartment, but you can allow yourself to decorate your place a little." He laughed, ¡°Isn¡¯t that right?¡±


    "Um, yes."


    Zhu Fei continued contemptuously, "You have no idea. When I first shared the bathroom with the others, it wasn¡¯t easy! I am not afraid of you making fun of me, so I¡¯ll be straight with you. When I first moved in, I was constipated for five days."


    "Oh, is there something wrong with your butt?"


    Qin Feng looked Zhu Fei up and down. Qin Feng¡¯s squinting eyes made her visibly uncomfortable. She could not help pushing him away. "Oh, you¡¯re so annoying!"


    Now that she was getting more familiar with Qin Feng, Zhu Fei relinquished her haughty air. Over the past 10 years, she was treated like a princess wrapped in money and with a very chic lifestyle that kept everyone around her envious. Deep down however, Zhu Fei had the spirit of a commoner¡¯s child. Her nature was just like her biological father¡¯s. Her first 10 years of living a simple life left a deep impression on her.

    All these years, she had not met her father. Now that she finally had the opportunity to go back to Tianhe, to take good care of him, that was what she wanted to do.


    "When you first found your father, did he recognize you?"


    Qin Feng asked seriously.


    Children of divorced families often had sensitive personalities. Qin Feng did not want to pry too deep, being afraid of reaching Zhu Fei¡¯s limits.


    "I¡¯ll never forget it, it was six o''clock in the evening. I had spent hours inquiring from any source I could find, only to discover that he was now a sanitation worker. I drove around and looked for a long, long time before I found him by the roadside. On that hot summer day, he sat wearily on a rock at the roadside, nibbling on cold steamed bread and pickles, and drinking boiled water... To be perfectly honest, when I saw this scene, I cried. My heart was sour. The memory of my childhood was still so clear to me. Back then, he was such a strong man, who held me in his arms every day, played games with me, and bought me bubble gum every day. Now, he was...¡±


    When Zhu Fei said that, her eyes were red, and she burst into tears.


    Qin Feng knew that something had happened, and was anxious to appease her, patting her on the back. "Oh, don''t cry," he said. "It will look like I did something to you. There are so many people coming and going around us. Control yourself a bit."


    "This is all your fault. Who told you to ask me these things?!"


    Zhu Fei lifted her body, and a small fist flew at Qin Feng. He did not dodge the small fist tapping his ribcage. It was not painful, just strange.


    A few fists rained down on him before Qin Feng caught Zhu Fei''s fine jade hand. "OK, don''t make a fuss. In a moment your father will come out. When he sees your eyes red, he will worry."


    Zhu Fei was anxious to wipe away her tears, while Qin Feng handed her a piece of tissue paper. "Your father is sure to recover. Now is your chance show good filial piety. Has he been alone all these years?"


    Zhufei wiped her tears, sniffed, and said, "Well, yes, after divorcing with my mother, he hasn¡¯t remarried. When he was young he was so handsome, a little like Zhou Runfa. Now he is thin and his back is bent. He¡¯s tanned and wrinkled from working outdoors. How much dust must he inhale every day? I told him to quit, but he didn''t listen."


    "Surely, he is old, and therefore he is stubborn. Now you intend to take care of him?"


    Qin Feng sighed and said, "To tell the truth, this is fate. If your parents did not go through the divorce, you may have had a complete family, but you could not live the rich life you have now. Now you¡¯re sick of the rich life and want to come back to enjoy a few days of hardship, and when you can''t stand it, you¡¯ll still be able to go back. Your father certainly does not want you to suffer with him. I am sure that when you are with him, he is very resistant. He doesn''t want to reconnect with you, does he?"


    Zhu Fei turned her face sharply. She stared at Qin Feng like he was an alien. Her beautiful eyelashes blinked a few times and she said, "How did you know? It¡¯s just like you said! I drove over to deliver him some food, but he did not want it. He said that he likes to eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables and drink water. I gave him towels and clothes, but he didn¡¯t want them. He said he got used to wearing a uniform. The towel he used was issued by the refinery a few decades ago and he still uses it today. I invited him out to dinner, but he kept saying that he couldn''t be in the same table, that going to a restaurant with him was a disgrace to me. I felt a really crushed¡­ no matter how hard I tried, he would not accept me! Once, I ran in tears to the roadside, screaming to the sky. Why was my life so? When I was a child in Sunan, I knew nothing but comfort. But now, I want to come back. I want to recognize my ancestors, but his attitude it won¡¯t let me... "

 Chapter 22 Pretend Boyfriend

    "Give him some time. He can''t give you anything now, not in this state. He thinks that getting to know him will only drag you down. It''s actually a great fatherly love. Do you know how restless his heart is? He''s survived all these years alone. He sees you grow so big, so tall, and he wants to hug you, touch your head, and call you Fei Fei, but he cannot. His heart must have experienced countless struggles. He cannot let you stay here, and he will use the silent treatment to make you go back to Sunan. Back to your good life!"


    Qin Feng suddenly thought of his own father. It was painful!


    Zhu Fangguo''s operation was very successful and all the tests showed satisfactory results. After years of hard work, his body and bones were very strong. Although he was old, he had only suffered superficial trauma, it seemed like he could be discharged from the hospital after a brief period of rest and recuperation.


    When he woke up and saw Zhu Fei in front of him, he shed complicated tears. He wanted to recognize the daughter who loved him and cared about him, but reality told him that he could not.


    If he restored the father-daughter relationship with Fei Fei, poverty and unfairness would enter her life. Over the years, Zhu Fangguo had long thought of it. He was old and had no pursuits other than being poor, eating, and waiting to die, but his daughter could not live like that. She had to live well; that was his only thought and sustenance.


    "Are you all right, Dad?"


    Zhu Fei was crying. She excitedly took Zhu Fangguo¡¯s wrinkled and rough hand, , "I will accompany you; always accompany you... We will not separate ever again."


    "You should leave!"


    Zhu Fangguo tried his best to yell. He did not want Fei Fei to see his fragile and broken side. No matter what, he did not want to drag his daughter down. He could not let Fei Fei fall in the water and fire, even if it killed him.


    Qin Feng interjected, "Uncle, you just finished surgery. You have to stay calm. You must control your mood or your injuries will worsen."


    Zhu Fangguo was stunned, and then noticed the tall man beside the bed. He took back his previous irritability and looked at Zhu Fei peacefully. "This is......."


    "He is-¡±


    Qin Feng interrupted before Zhu Fei could finish: "Uncle, my name is Qin Feng. I am Zhu Fei''s boyfriend. She and I were just passing by the square when we found you. You can rest assured, we will take care of you and I will take good care of Fei Fei."


    Whoo.


    When she heard this, Zhu Fei was confused. She did not understand what Qin Feng meant. He could pretend in front of Jia Dapeng, but there was no need in front of her father. Why was he...?


    Zhu Fei chose silence, and did not tell the truth.


    Hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, Zhu Fangguo''s heart had mixed feelings. He was Zhu Fei¡¯s biological father; he was always concerned about events in his daughter¡¯s life. Now, Zhu Fei was coming into the age of marriage. Everyone said that a daughter''s marriage is equivalent to a second birth. Choosing a good man meant the second half of the life would be basically good. So, Zhu Fangguo carefully looked Qin Feng up and down. He wanted to see what kind of man he was. Although he tried to prevent her from meeting him, he had to go through the examination of her boyfriend.


    This was not only a father''s instinct, but also out of the yearning he had for Fei Fei over the years and the love that had never been forsaken.


    "Qin Feng, how long have you been together?"


    Zhu Fangguo''s anesthetic was slowly weakening and his injuries were starting to hurt, but he bore it. He did not want to let Fei Fei see his pain. Even if it hurt, he would first understand Qin Feng¡¯s basic situation.


    Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    "We have been together for nearly two months. We met after she came to Tianhe. We are very happy together, and I like Fei Fei very much. Uncle, don''t worry, I promise on my honor that I will give her happiness. Whether you recognize her or not, I will take care of you and support you with her. We are still young and we can give up anything, but affection is not something you can give up so easily. Blood is thicker than water. Fei Fei looks forward to a relationship with you every day; I hope-"


    Zhu Fangguo interrupted before he finished: "OK, OK, stop talking. I want to get some sleep."


    Zhu Fei also wanted to take advantage of this moment. She wanted to open her mouth, but was stopped by Qin Feng.


    Coming to the waiting room outside the ward, Zhu Fei looked questioningly at Qin Feng. "Why did you do that? Don''t think I don''t know what you¡¯re up to. Let me tell you, I will not get a boyfriend so easily. You pretended in front of Jia Dapeng, and I was very angry about that. Although you helped me, I still don¡¯t appreciate what you did."


    "What do you know? You¡¯re not seeing the bigger picture."


    Qin Feng lit a cigarette, and said, "Your father wants to see that you can be happy more than anything. You have no relatives in Tianhe. He does not want to meet you and is naturally worried about your safety and life, so he will urge you to go back to Sunan. But now he thinks you have a boyfriend, and I look solid enough that his anxious heart feels assured. This will not only buy you time to keep in touch with him, but also help him recover from his illness. With my care and commitment, he will be happy. In addition, you aren¡¯t very affectionate. In my eyes, you are like a child who has not yet grown up. I will not have any inappropriate thoughts about you."


    "You..."


    Although Qin Feng was very reasonable, Zhu Fei was a little stunned by what he said. She wanted to scold him, but couldn¡¯t bring herself to.


    "Well, you take care of your father. I have to go. If Jia Dapeng still comes by to harass you, call me immediately."


    Qin Feng looked at his watch. It was three o''clock in the afternoon. He had to contact Sister Flower. After all, his only purpose was to take good care of Sister Flower, and he could not allow her to be hurt even a little. He still didn¡¯t know what happened to her with Brother Jun.


    "Oh."


    Zhu Fei was stunned; the corners of her eyes flashed a hint of inexplicable gloom. Her mouth opened and closed a few times, until finally she said, "You... Be careful. Nothing good can come of provoking Jia Dapeng."


    "Well, you should care about your father. Don¡¯t worry about me."


    Qin Feng reached out and tapped Zhu Fei¡¯s head. "You should take care in the future. Don¡¯t get your panties in a bunch."


    "You..."


    Zhu Fei blushed. Before she could react, Qin Feng already disappeared in the corridor.


    !!!


    "Sister Flower, where are you?"


    Qin Feng went out of the hospital and got on the bus before making a phone call. "How did it go with Brother Jun?"


    "I''m at the Free Man Bar. Come here."


    Sister Flower was nervous. She needed to consider a lot of things. As for Brother Jun, she needed to think of the management of the Free Man Bar. She also needed to think about Ji Dongchen, Meng Zhaolin, Jia Quan, and Qin Feng.


    "Well, I''ll be right there."


    Hanging up the phone, Qin Feng noticed the unease in Sister Flower¡¯s voice, and thought in his heart, "She probably couldn¡¯t come to an agreement with Brother Jun. I have known for a long time that people like them often feel deeply about their brothers, but if something really goes wrong, no one can care for each other."

 Chapter 23 Questioning

    In short, Qin Feng would never let Sister Flower suffer even a little difficulty. If he noticed anything wrong, he would face it!


    Sister Flower''s office.


    The top floor of the Free Man bar was decorated in a post-modern black style. Sister Flower was there wearing boxing gloves while heavily hitting the sandbag in the corner of her office. Although her speed and strength could not be compared with a master¡¯s, after a few years of practice the average man still couldn''t bring her down. The sandbag was bumping up and down and rattling under her blows.


    There was a knock at the door. "Come in."


    Sister Flower looked at the door, noticing Kun entering.


    "Sister Flower, Brother Jun just called."


    Kun was smoking, his buttocks was leaning on Sister Flower''s desk as he wore a rough expression. "He is afraid you won¡¯t go, so he arranged for me to take Qin Feng and you to Ji Dongchen to apologize. You¡¯re known to have a temper and you don¡¯t know how to pander, so I¡¯ll be there to handle the initial conversation. If that¡¯s not enough, Brother Jun will have to come forward again."


    "What? No!"


    Sister Flower immediately objected. She knew well that if Kun took Qin Feng, Qin Feng would never come back in one piece.


    "That''s what Brother Jun said, and he has shown you enough face. He can take control of the situation if you get in over your head. You don¡¯t think things through."


    Although Kun was officially Sister Flower¡¯s subordinate, Brother Jun directly supported him. Thus, he simply did not show any respect to Xiao Jinhua. He was also after this exquisite and wonderful woman''s body. Had it not been for Xiao Jinhua having real ability in conducting business, he would have been able to make a lot of money off her every year, and he would have betrayed Brother Jun a long time ago.


    Hearing this, Sister flower regained her composure. She put the boxing gloves on the side of the sofa and also lit a cigarette, then coldly looked at him. "Kun, Hall Manager Zhao Hu is one of your guys, right? I believe he''s been snatching up goods for a while. He swapped a third of my expensive foreign wines for cheap booze."


    Hearing this, Kun, who had just been overjoyed, was quick to put on an outraged demeaner, "What? I didn¡¯t know anything about this. What happened? How did this Zhao Hu dare to do such a thing?"


    "Ha-ha. You think he¡¯d dare do this without your instruction? This is not the first time either. I got the wine for more than 1,000 Yuan and he swapped it for 20 Yuan wine. A hundred thousand lost last month. The money..."


    Sister Flower did not continue giving details for the sake of leaving Kun some face, giving him a warning to let him know that she had enough evidence in her hands to go to Brother Jun with it.


    "Sister Flower, this is..."


    "Well, I also know that none of the night clubs on the Tianhe River use genuine foreign wine, and if he can do it without any problem¡­"


    Xiao Jinhua laughed, "Qin Feng is a good employee; I do not want to use him as a human shield. Even if we killed him, he is just a waiter; he doesn¡¯t carry enough weight. Ji Dongchen would still find fault with us."


    "This is true, but we are very passive now. I am afraid Brother Jun will take advantage of the matter and take this to Jia Quan himself.


    "I have an idea; don''t worry."


    Sister Flower impatiently waved her hand. At that moment, there was another knock at the door. Qin Feng rushed in.


    Kun glanced over the young man with an angry face. He did not say anything, only sighed and left.


    After closing the door behind Kun, Qin Feng anxiously asked, "Sister Flower, what''s going on? Is Brother Jun trying to hide?"


    Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Sister Flower did not want to explain the seriousness and complexity of the matter to Qin Feng. He was just a waiter with simple experience. Even if she told him, he would not understand, but Sister Flower was inexplicably trying to protect him. "Rest assured, Brother Jun has the matter under control. It''s not a problem."


    "It¡¯s not? You told me yesterday that Ji Dongchen¡¯s father was powerful. His father would not be so easy to subdue."


    Qin Feng pressed, ¡°Sister Flower, you don''t have to hide things from me. Tell me the whole situation. I will definitely not run away. I am willing to take on anything, as long as you are OK."


    Hearing this, Xiao Jinhua was stunned. He was such a responsible man; it was really moving. Compared to him, Zhao Jun and Kun, were not men at all.


    But could he take it? A small waiter renting a room in an old house, working part-time during the day. What could he do?


    Oh.


    "Your kindness is appreciated. However, there are some things you''d better leave alone, believe me."


    Sister Flower pat Qin Feng on the shoulder. "If all the bar staff were like you and also had a sense of responsibility, I would never have anything to worry about!"


    "Ha-ha, I only have some strength. I have no sense of responsibility."


    Qin Feng said matter-of-factly.


    But in his heart, it seemed to him that Sister Flower and Xiao He had the same temperament. If they could handle something on their own, they would never trouble others. Since he could not get the truth from her mouth, he would have to investigate on his own. He needed to take the initiative, and not let Sister Flower fall into a helpless position.


    Thinking of this, Qin Feng took out a packet of medicine, "Sister Flower, I don¡¯t know if you have a cold still, but I got you some cold medicine anyway. Take it. Working in the nightlife industry means staying up late. Now the night wind is cool; you won¡¯t be cured if you do not take medicine."


    Taking the medicine, Sister Flower¡¯s heart was moved. These days, who really cared about her? When she got a cold, no one would even get her some warm water, not to mention any medicine. When her dysmenorrhea was at its worst, she could not even climb up to her bed, but she still had to deal with the bar. Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Sister Flower almost shed a tear, but she stopped herself. No way. She was a dirty woman in the eyes of the world. How could she be worthy of him?


    "Thank you. How much was it? I''ll pay you."


    Sister flower was about to take some money from her bag, but Qin Feng stopped her. In the process, the two¡¯s hands touched. Qin Feng felt the delicate, smooth skin of Sister Flower¡¯s hand. Sister Flower¡¯s heart throbbed at the touch of Qin Feng''s broad and solid hand. At that moment, it seemed like time stopped. The two were close together, feeling each other''s breath.


    Qin Feng quickly drew back his hand. He warned himself: this is Xiao He''s sister. She was untouchable and forbidden. He could not get any ideas.


    "Sister Flower, I''ll go down first."


    "Wait a minute."


    Sister Flower stopped Qin Feng. "Keep in mind what I told you. After dealing with this matter, I will transfer that hall manager elsewhere, then you-"


    "I will follow Sister Flower¡¯s arrangements. I don¡¯t have any objections."


    Qin Feng did not care about any of that. He smiled and went out the door.


    !!!


    Meanwhile, Green Dragon had followed Gu Shaoyun''s instructions, again diving back into the city of Tianhe.


    He did not immediately look for Qin Feng this time. After all, the last time he inquired about Shark Kun''s drug sales list in China, Qin Feng was vague and didn''t want to take it out. It seemed that this guy wanted to keep something to himself.

 Chapter 24 Secret talk in the tea house

    Gu Shaoyun had given Green Dragon the task of retrieving the list at all costs, promising that he would give him a promotion as soon as possible once he brought back the list.


    Although Green Dragon did not want to sour his relationship with Qin Feng, Green Dragon was now faced with the temptation of improving his life permanently. After wanting to succeed for so many years, he would do anything for the sake of his career,


    Hiding in an unassuming corner of town, Green Dragon rented a room in a small hotel located on the outskirts of the city. He wanted to listen for news about Qin Feng there. According to his observations, the woman they called Sister Xiao Jinhua, wasn¡¯t so simple either. She had to know something about the Special Unit.


    In order to avoid drawing attention to himself and to not raise Qin Feng¡¯s suspicion, as well as to avoid guilt, he preferred to murder the man with a ¡®borrowed knife¡¯. Green Dragon found a crony of Shark Kun¡¯s in Tianhe City, Zhang Hui, who was responsible for selling and stashing drugs.


    He directly contacted Shark Kun¡¯s people. Other agents brought the drugs from the initial production site to Tianhe, and then Zhang Hui distributed the drugs locally. Even so, Zhang Hui''s profits would still reach an impressive 300%.


    The boss behind Zhang Hui was Meng Zhaolin. This man would not be so easy to draw out, once something came out about him, it would simply be chipped away at until the problem disappeared. On the other hand, Zhang Hui was destined to be a sharp blade hanging in midair, ready to fall at any moment. But before falling, he would achieve the most splendid accomplishment of his several decades-long life.


    Green Dragon sat opposite Zhang Hui in a secluded teahouse room in Fengyang district.


    Zhang Hui didn¡¯t want to come at first, but Green Dragon knew how to take control and get things done, and talked only about Shark Kun. Zhang Hui realized this stranger would never leave him alone and wanted to just get it over with, so he drove to the agreed teahouse.


    Almost nobody dared to mention Shark Kun in a small place like Tianhe City, or even knew about him. Thus, Zhang Hui knew that this bold person before him must have a good story to tell, and might prove useful.


    ¡°Let''s get straight to it."


    "I know you aren''t really the boss, but it doesn''t hurt to talk to you," said Green Dragon.


    "Who are you? What do you know?"


    Zhang Hui put his hand behind his waist and touched his hidden pistol. Before he learned of the other person¡¯s identity, he had to protect himself. At the first sign of trouble, he would shoot. In the drug business, nothing mattered much since there is so much profit in it, it was worth taking desperate measures.


    "I know everything about you working with Shark Kun¡¯s guys. I know where you meet each month, if you get the goods via shipping or air freight, what type of powder you need... I know everything. But it doesn''t matter, because we are all in the same boat. However, someone found out about it all, and he-"


    Zhang Hui interrupted anxiously: ¡°Who? Who knows? Who the hell are you?!"


    Zhang Hui pulled out his pistol. This was the point of no return. If it had leaked out, he and the people behind him would lose their heads, which was no joke.


    Green Dragon pointed at him unphased, revealing a dull smile. He gently sipped his tea as Zhang Hui looked on angry but confused. Without warning, Green Dragon flicked his wrist and sent the hot tea flying into Zhang Hui''s face. The next second, his gun was snatched away by Green Dragon and pointed back at him.


    It was so fast, he didn''t even know how it happened.


    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Zhang Hui collapsed in a panic into his seat, nervously breathing, "You... What are you doing?"


    "Oh, if I wanted to kill you, you would have already been cold five minutes ago."


    Green dragon shook his head, laughing disdainfully, "You... Forget it. I''m afraid you wouldn¡¯t be able to touch a single finger of his even if you tried."


    ¡°What do you mean? Just say what you have to say."


    Zhang Hui was confused. He really didn''t know what the person in front of him talking about.


    Green Dragon thought for a while. These people couldn¡¯t fight Qin Feng, but he still had a weakness. This guy came to Tianhe to protect Xiao He¡¯s elder sister, right? Well, that remained to be seen. Was he really protecting her, or did he come for something else entirely?


    He smiled, "The Free Man Bar; do you know it?"


    Zhang Hui anxiously nodded, "I know it well. Why?"


    "Do you do any drug business in there?"


    Green Dragon had a careful mind. He didn¡¯t make assumptions out of thin air. If he wanted to get Zhang Hui worked up, he had to put forth a reasonable case. If he wanted him to use force, he would have to create conflict.


    "No. The owner of the bar is called Xiao Jinhua, also known as Sister Flower. She is particularly stubborn. Running the Free Man Bar for so many years, there have never been drugs or sex services in there. But business has nevertheless been doing strangely well. The place is regarded as a pristine flower in the industry."


    Zhang Hui''s status in society was not to be overlooked. It was not so easy to get him to spill the beans on anything. But in front of Green Dragon, he felt everything was exposed. He felt hiding things would only be detrimental to his continued existence. So why not say everything he knew?


    "These people dared to blatantly refuse to cooperate with you, and you do nothing?"


    "This doesn¡¯t sound like a partner of Shark Kun. It¡¯s too pathetic," Green Dragon said.


    "This... This has left a bad taste in my boss¡¯s mouth for a long time, but he thought Xiao Jinhua was talented, and never moved her. Besides, Zhao Jun has her back; fighting over it is just not worth it. Anyway, we have absolute control over other places, which is enough," Zhang Hui said.


    "I heard that you planned to open the largest nightclub in the city, setting it up as a decentralized platform for underground trading, and invited Xiao Jinhua to manage it, but she refused?"


    Green Dragon was not a fool. The information he was looking for had never been found. Over the years, he had picked up a lot of skills from Qin Feng. Searching for information was one of them.


    When he heard this, Zhang Hui was obviously startled. He did not even know this guy was, but he knew him completely. This was terrible. What was even more terrible was that he did not even have the courage to resist.


    The other man¡¯s aura could not be compared with that of an ordinary person like him. Zhang Hui understood clearly that if he made any sudden moves again, it would be his head rolling on the floor within seconds. The only way he could get out of the teahouse alive was to confess everything.


    "Yes. Because of this, Brother Meng was very angry, and wanted to teach her a lesson."


    "That''s right."


    Green Dragon¡¯s mouth flashed a shrewd smile. So there might be some use to this guy, after all. Seizing Xiao Jinhua could both reveal Qin Feng¡¯s true purpose for staying there, and present an opportunity to attack him. As long as Qin Feng was in a panic, Green Dragon would have a chance to get Shark Kun¡¯s list.


    Although this move would be very complex, to be on the safe side, and in order to leave himself an avenue of retreat, Green Dragon had to do it.

 Chapter 25 Act for God and perform moral acts

    Just in case Gu Shaoyun¡¯s promise turned out to be a bounced check, he could still pretend to be ignorant and continue to be good friends with Qin Feng, a good comrade in arms.


    These days, no one could be trusted 100%. A little carelessness could send one into an early grave.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Zhang Hui was puzzled. "Do you have a feud with Xiao Jinhua?"


    "No, this is actually for your benefit."


    "In short," continued Green Dragon, "arrange for your revenge on her as soon as possible, and wait for things to proceed. Do you understand?"


    Zhang Hui didn''t understand, but he nodded thoughtfully.


    !!!


    Night time in Tianhe.


    Qin Feng was on the early shift that day. He left work just after ten o''clock.


    He changed out of his work clothes and passed the bar room on purpose. That night, the Free Man Bar was very hot and popular, and the men and women on the dance floor swayed in the dim light, driven by the heavy metal DJ. A bikini-wearing supermodel rhythmically danced to the music in front of the stage, attracting a frenzy of whistling, alcohol, smoke, and roars that filled the room, everyone who got into it was excited. To be there was to relax, to get on a high. Because the Free Man Bar belonged to the relatively clean part of the nightlife industry, most of the guests who came there were relatively literate. Among them, white-collar workers were the majority. This was also a major feature of the Free Man Bar. A lot of beautiful white-collar girls came to play in groups, and naturally would attract a lot of male guests.


    The time was still early, and Qin Feng did not want to go back to rest. He gave Zhu Fei a phone call. Nothing of interest had happened in the hospital. Her father had woken up again for a few hours, and was now sleeping again. She hired a nurse and rented a bed. The two people took turns taking care of the sick old man.


    "Xiao Xu, give me a bottle of Jack Daniels, no black tea."


    Qin Feng, sitting at a small table in the corner, moved with the deafening music. He had been working at the Free Man Bar for a long time, but this was the first time he had come out to play during rush hour. He felt that every cell in his body was excited. It was a rare relaxation.


    He was human, and he needed to vent.


    Just then, a dancing girl came down from the stage. The girl, who had been working with the bar for a long time, came several times a week, dressed sexy, and looked beautiful, with a great figure. Girls like her were always there to attract attention. Outsiders who did not understand the inner workings of the establishment would think she was a guest. In fact, she was an employee, and naturally attracted a lot of drunk men.


    "Handsome man, are you by yourself?" Because he had met her a few times before, she was familiar with Qin Feng, "Can I drink with you?"


    "No dancing tonight?" Qin Feng raised up a finger to have the waiter, Xiao Xu, send another fruit plate, a wine cup, and a pack of Budweiser. "Just drinking some beer."


    The girl sat on a high chair, her long, white thighs exposed, black lace panties peeking from under the miniskirt, attracting a few stares from the surrounding tables.


    The bar was really noisy. Even if the two people were only separated by a dozen centimeters, it was difficult for them to hear each other.


    After chatting for a while, Qin Feng vaguely remembered that her name was Jiang Xiaowen, a sophomore at the Tianhe City Art Institute. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night, she would come to the Free Man Bar, and each time she would be paid 200 Yuan to show up, and she could drink whatever amount of wine as long as she showed up during rush hour and danced on the stage for an hour. There were more than a dozen girls like her who came every other day, six or seven of them present on any given night. Of course, those were from a single Academy of Art.


    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    This was the industry''s open secret.


    Qin Feng was naturally interested in this beautiful girl in front of him, but he was not as obscene as those men who only thought of getting drunk and then going to a private room.


    He felt able to chat, and then try his luck. If the chat was not positive, he¡¯d just forget about it. He did not like feeling forced.


    The real reason why Qin Feng wanted to drink and pick up girls that night was to help Sister Flower hold the fort. He knew that the boy, Ji Dongchen, would definitely not give up. He would be there to cause chaos, and there were a lot of people in the bar during rush hour. If something went wrong, it would be a huge blow to the Free Man Bar and Sister Flower.


    Around 12:30 people would begin to slowly make their way home, and Qin Feng would leave.


    Soon, the bottle Jack Daniels was emptied by the two. Jiang Xiaowen chatted quite a lot, and asked him a series of personal questions, as if to attempt understanding his entire situation.


    Qin Feng also joked, fooling around, casually chatting with her.


    Then, a man came up to him.


    He seemed to have nimble legs, and his body was very solid. He was not tall, but he could probably lift a thousand jin.


    Qin Feng was gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory. He recognized him at a glance. This was the helper who stood beside Jia Dapeng when he beat up Zhu Fangguo.


    This was Zhang Dali.


    Whoo!


    Qin Feng clearly knew that the guy did not come out of good will, and since he dared to come alone, he must have had a lot of self-confidence; he seemed to want to deal with the matter in a low-key manner. He¡¯d been walking around the crowded compartments, touching the shoulders of other guests, and they were all leaning back to apologize in a friendly manner, which showed good form. He was better than Jia Dapeng or Ji Dongchen, but the more respectable the man, the stronger the killing intent!


    Sure enough, he came straight to Qin Feng¡¯s table with a smile on his lips. A powerful voice said, "Qin Feng."


    His eyes were bright, and his words were straight and to the point. According to Qin Feng¡¯s judgment, this was definitely an elite soldier who had been in the army for many years.


    Zhang Dali had encouraged Jia Dapeng to hide when Qin Feng and Zhu Fei went to the hospital. After all, the matter was getting out of control and bystanders could get involved or hurt. Jia Dapeng was afraid of causing trouble for his father, so he took a step back for the time being. However, this vengeance had to be obtained, and Zhang Dali gave him a reassurance: "As long as you don''t go out and get into trouble, I''ll avenge you."


    Zhang Dali had been waiting at the back door of the Free Man Bar since 9:30, after learning about Qin Feng''s off-duty hours, but he did not expect that Qin Feng would not go out after work. Zhang Dali grew impatient and entered the bar to look for him.


    He found Qin Feng in the hall, drinking with girls at ease.


    "Where is Jia Quan¡¯s kid?"


    Qin Feng lit a cigarette, lightly smiled, and said, "Want to drink something first? Waiting outside dries your mouth, doesn¡¯t it?"


    As he spoke, he opened the Budweiser pack.


    Zhang Dali, ignoring the beautiful girl beside him, picked up a bottle and drank it in one gulp without further discussion.


    He picked up another bottle and leaned towards Qin Feng, "This matter has to be solved."


    "I agree."


    Qin Feng laughed, "It does have to be solved, but not by you. I need to see the kid."


    Jia Dapeng brutally wounded Zhu Fei''s father. This matter naturally could not be ignored. According to his sentiment and reason, Qin Feng had to seek justice for Zhu Fei¡¯s sake.


    Even if he had had nothing to do with Zhu Fei, just looking at the elderly sanitation worker, out of conscience, Qin Feng would have had to act on behalf of God.

 Chapter 26 Fierce fight at the back door

    "Oh, have you done something wrong?"


    Zhang Dali¡¯s arm trembled, and the whole small round table shook violently. The empty bottle nearly fell to the ground.


    Qin Feng¡¯s face had no expression. He turned to Jiang Xiaowen. "You should go back to work. I have something to do."


    Jiang Xiaowen naturally read the atmosphere, and declined. She was too nervous to speak, but she was also a little worried about Qin Feng, and she refused to move.


    "Go!"


    Qin Feng raised his voice, frightening Jiang Xiaowen. She left.


    Qin Feng and Zhang Dali did not say another word. They looked at each other, drank up the rest of the wine on the table, and then walked to the back door of the bar.


    Yes, a confrontation between masters does not require too much repetition. They knew each other; neither one had an advantage over the other.


    Zhang Dali needed to give Jia Dapeng an answer, and Qin Feng also needed to give Zhu Fei an account of what happened.


    The back door was actually the firefighting passageway of the bar. It opened into an alley, and many small merchants and hawkers liked to put up their night market stalls there at night. Many people came and went, but now it was already midnight, and the alley was empty.


    Qin Feng was in front. He and Zhang Dali walked to a small grove not far away.


    The surroundings were surprisingly quiet. There was a closed commercial street not too far away.


    The wind blew in their ears. They stood three meters apart, facing each other.


    "If I''m not wrong, you¡¯re also a soldier, and work for Jia Dapeng as a mercenary. Do you think it''s worth it?" Qin Feng said.


    "Each is for his master. My destiny is in his father''s hands. I have no choice."


    Zhang Dali¡¯s body withdrew. His took up a solid fighting stance, arms hanging out, ready to attack.


    "In that case, there is nothing left to say."


    Qin Feng¡¯s left arm stretched and his center of gravity moved forward, the right leg gliding gently on the ground, kicking up dust.


    He could feel that the guy in front of him was the first worthy opponent he had met since coming to Tianhe, so he was a little excited.


    Boom!


    Zhang Dali''s body shook suddenly, and he rushed up with a stride. The distance of three meters was closed in an instant. His feet, like a whirlwind, stepped through the air and struck a plume of dust. There was a great destructive potential between them. Qin Feng did not come up. He moved back and forth, waiting to see his opponent¡¯s reaction.


    Zhang Dali made three or four moves, but did not take any advantage, which made his heart worry. Such a tough opponent was really rare these days. Who was this guy? How did he suddenly appear in Tianhe? And he was just a little waiter at the bar? It was beyond logic and above reason.


    But he did not have the leisure to think about it at length, as Qin Feng had come forward.


    His footsteps were extremely rigid. It seemed like a gentle strike, but only Zhang Dali could know the strength contained within it. Dong! The two people kicked each other. It was a test of leg strength, but also of the soul of the body.


    Bang!


    Zhang Dali turned over and withdrew a few meters. If he hadn¡¯t grasped a weeping willow, he was likely to have fall down.


    With only this simple blow, despite being one of the top ten Sanda practitioners in the military, he knew he didn¡¯t stand a chance to fight against him. This left Zhang Dali extremely puzzled. Even if he fought against champion fighters, he had never been overpowered in such a way, and he had never lost the fight. Was this guy from an ancient martial arts school? Incredible. How strong was he?


    Qin Feng did not mean to be aggressive. What he wanted was Jia Dapeng, not this guy, and he always respected the strong. Although this guy could not match him, it was rare for him to meet such a strong opponent in Tianhe. He didn¡¯t have to fight.

    "You should go. Jia Dapeng and I will deal with this matter amongst ourselves. If you still help him next time, don''t blame me for being cruel."


    Qin Feng stood mightily, his powerful arms exuding an indifferent ethereal potential, and quite a bit of style.


    Zhang Dali stood still and did not leave.


    "I will not sit idly by. I told you, this is about my future!"


    He came from the countryside. The fact that he could survive by relying on himself was not such an easy thing to accomplish. During this period, only he knew how many trials and tribulations he had suffered, how many tears and how much sweat he had given. How could he be willing to give up just like that? Even if the road ahead was difficult, he would try his best to break through!


    "Well, in that case, that''s it."


    Qin Feng was not interested in continuing to fight with him at the moment. When he saw Jia Dapeng again, he would deal with them both.


    At that moment, four dazzling lights rushed through the dark night with great speed. They didn¡¯t look like passing cars; they were headed straight for the Free Man Bar''s back door.


    When Zhang Dali saw this, he squinted his eyes and squatted down together with Qin Feng to see what happened next.


    Sure enough, two cars appeared, a Great Wall pickup truck and an Audi Q7. The pickup truck was carrying a large barrel of oil. Five or six people got off. After jumping onto the pickup truck, they picked up a torch prepared in advance and stuffed it into the oil barrel, and then pulled it out. With a match ¨C whoosh! - the torch burst into scorching hot flames.


    Seeing this scene, Zhang Dali¡¯s eyes opened wide in shock. "What¡¯s this? What are they doing?"


    Qin Feng had a bad feeling. He grabbed Zhang Dali''s collar. "Are these not Jia Dapeng''s guys?"


    "I don''t think so. Though he was defiant, I made him listen to reason. I said I''d go to you alone and he''d give me time to settle this myself," Zhang Dali said with certainty.


    Whoosh.


    The next second, Qin Feng rushed out of the wood with the speed of a mountain leopard. Watching that group of people preparing to throw torches into the Free Man Bar¡¯s windows, Qin Feng roared, "Stop!"


    "Come on! Keep going! Don¡¯t mind him." The man sitting in the passenger seat of the car hurriedly poked out his head and shouted, "Run Qin Feng over!"


    Boom!


    The xenon headlight in his face was so bright that Qin Feng could not open his eyes. He dodged backward, but around him was a vast open space without cover. He had no way out. Under the circumstances, he had to step up to meet the opponent!!!


    Leaping into the air, Qin Feng rose high and stepped directly onto the hood of the Audi Q7. As soon as his center of gravity sank, he seized the opportunity to bounce up and stomped on the windshield. The glass was very heavy, and Qin Feng struck very ferociously. However, he could only crack the glass, not break it. After all, it was a luxury car.


    But even so, the Audi Q7 driver was horrified. He hurriedly slammed on the brakes and tried to get Qin Feng off the roof of the car, but Qin Feng was ready and leaned over to seize the edge of the open window. Even though the car was screeching to a halt and the momentum was very strong, Qin Feng managed to hold on.


    The passenger window did not close in time. Qin Feng swung his body, his legs close together, and kicked into the car. The passenger immediately screamed in pain. His body was thrown back and his head hit the driver''s temple hard. The two men were dizzy and moaning, almost fainting.


    There was no time to stop. Several people on the pickup truck had thrown three or four torches through the Free Man Bar¡¯s windows. Seeing that the fire was about to rise, he stormed past them like a storm wind. He kicked a man who was about to throw another torch. The fell to the floor, the torch landing on top of him.

 Chapter 27 Fire

    The man¡¯s clothes, made of chemical fiber, caught fire instantly. Everyone around him sprang up madly, screaming and yelling like ants on a hot pot.


    Qin Feng was not afraid, picking up a torch and swinging it at a few of the others. Seeing the situation, they got scared and scattered.


    Having driven away this group of people, Qin Feng took out his mobile phone and called Kun. He explained the situation, and then grasped the drainpipe attached to the wall of the bar, climbing it up to the storage room on the second floor.


    The fire was still small. If there were fire extinguishers on hand, they would soon be able to suppress it. However, Kun was slow to react. Qin Feng had to take off his shirt and slap at the edge of the fire to get close. Without fear of danger, he kicked open the window. He had to get rid of the torches that had been thrown into the room.


    But there were too many flammable substances, and there was a lot of very high-quality foreign wine, very likely to explode.


    If he rushed in, it would be very dangerous.


    A roar came from below, "Qin Feng! Get down!"


    Sister Flower was the first to come. She sent someone to bring a ladder, and carried a fire extinguisher. "It¡¯s dangerous! Come down!"


    At this time, not far away, the Audi Q7 started moving. Qin Feng saw it and shouted anxiously, "Quickly, stop that car! They are the arsonists!"


    The assailants in the pick-up truck had no idea where to go, but the man in the Q7 must have been the leader. If they caught him, they would find out who sent him.


    This was of great importance to Qin Feng and Sister Flower.


    Kun and a group of bar employees rushed out of the building, but the Audi Q7 already lurched forward. Kun¡¯s group dared not approach, allowing it to get away.


    Qin Feng was angry. What a bunch of useless trash.


    Forget it. It was more important to put out the fire first. He was sure to find out who did it eventually!


    Whoo!


    After Qin Feng got the fire extinguisher, he quickly put out the source of the fire in the warehouse. He jumped in alone, inspected it, and made sure that all the fire had been extinguished. He checked up on the goods, and the loss was not great.


    Then, the warehouse door opened, and Sister Flower rushed in. Kun and the others then poured in, crowding the room.


    "All right, all right, everybody move out. It''s all right. Don''t crowd in here!" Qin Feng shouted from somewhere in the middle of the room.


    Xiao Jinhua looked at the Qin Feng in front of him with concern. "Are you all right? I was scared. Jumping in was reckless. In case of an explosion... "


    "It''s all right, Sister Flower, I know." Qin Feng smiled with a relaxed face.


    By then, most of the crowd had evacuated the warehouse. Qin Feng wanted to go to the site of the incident at the back door. After all, the pickup truck had been left behind, and there should be some clues to be found on the vehicle. Moreover, there were back door surveillance cameras. They would carefully inspect to footage to find out who those arsonists were.


    Suddenly, Qin Feng noticed a small fire burning in the depths of the warehouse ¨C right next to a big pile of fireworks and firecrackers in the corner.


    If this exploded, not just the back rooms, but even the Free Man Bar''s front hall would catch fire. Then, all the electricity cables would burn, and the fire will be unstoppable. In the front hall, many people were intoxicated with alcohol. If there was a large-scale fire, the front door would not suffice to safely evacuate everyone. The consequences would be unthinkable.


    The nightlife industry was most afraid of fire. Over the past few years, other places in China have had a very high rate of death and injury in bars that have suffered from fire accidents. Dozens of people have been killed and injured. These were all true stories. The bar owners, local executives, even the entire provincial fire safety authorities and other authorities would be severely criticized and demonstrated against.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    "Get out of the way!"


    Seeing that it was about to detonate, Qin Feng pushed Sister Flower out of the door and rushed in alone. He grabbed the ignited fireworks box and dashed to the window as fast as he could. When Sister Flower rushed in again, Qin Feng had already jumped out the window. With a deafening bang, the fireworks box exploded, followed by a variety of gorgeous fireworks flying into the sky, releasing a colorful, flowery shower of sparks.


    "Qin Feng!"


    Sister Flower anxiously shouted, then turned around and rushed out of the warehouse. Not far away, Kun and the others did not understand what happened. They heard the sound from outside and then saw Sister Flower rush to the back door.


    Sister Flower stormed out into the back alley, calling out, "Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Where are you?"


    The fireworks box was a dozen meters away from the site of the explosion. Sister Flower noticed a pair of shoes on the ground. She hastily picked them up and found that they were Qin Feng¡¯s boots.


    Not good!


    Sister Flower nervously shouted, "What are you waiting for? Look for Qin Feng!"


    He didn¡¯t blow up, did he?


    The group scattered. Then, a black figure suddenly crept up behind Sister Flower. A hand grasped her shoulder. Sister Flower whirled around in a fright, and saw that it was Qin Feng, his face ghastly!!!


    He stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, "Ha-ha, Sister Flower."


    "You... You son of a bitch! I was scared!"


    Xiao Jinhua''s hand hit him on the chest. "Do you know how worried I was? And you¡¯re just here laughing!"


    "Oh, I was a little impatient when I jumped out of the window. I accidentally kicked my shoes off."


    Qin Feng awkwardly took the shoes from Sister Flower¡¯s hands and sniffed. "Oh, stinky. Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t smell that! You even held them in your hand."


    "Just go jump in a ditch!"


    Sister Flower¡¯s pink fist hit his shoulder. "In the future, you are not allowed to do such dangerous stunts. If you took a step too slowly and the whole warehouse exploded, do you know what the consequences would be?"


    "Don''t worry, I can handle it."


    Qin Feng retracted his mischievous expression and looked to the woods not far away. Zhang Dali had already disappeared. "This attack was definitely premeditated. At first I suspected Ji Dongchen, but just as I threw the fireworks box, I saw a person in the shadows."


    "Who?" Sister Flower asked anxiously.


    "Do you remember the last time you took me to Erlang''s barbecue for supper?"


    "Zhang Hui?"


    Sister Flower''s mind was sharp, and her words were right.


    "Yes, very much like him. He was in the car, watching all this from a distance, waiting for me to throw out the fireworks box; then he drove away."


    Qin Feng said, "Is it because you turned them down last time? Is this revenge? Or to put some pressure on you?"


    By then, Kun and the others also came around. Sister Flower didn''t seem to want to discuss Zhang Hui and Meng Zhaolin in front of them. She coughed softly. "Okay, leave a few people to clean up and throw away all the fireworks and firecrackers stored in the warehouse. Repair the damaged doors and windows of the warehouse as soon as possible, and seal this pickup truck in the back yard. Tomorrow I will report this to Brother Jun and let him personally handle it."

 Chapter 28 The Dancer and the Cab

    Kun hesitated and seemed to have something to say, but his open mouth made no sound.


    It was already past one o''clock in the morning after all this.


    Back in the bar room, most of the guests had already gone. Because the bar¡¯s walls had particularly good sound insulation, few guests knew what had transpired at the bar¡¯s back door.


    Outside the front door, after all, was the main street of the city and there were still a lot of cars coming and going. Young guys, driving all kinds of sports cars, stormed on the spacious roads, engines roaring and exhaust fumes filling the street.


    The night air was cool. Qin Feng smoked, sighing, "Sister Flower, it seems this Meng Zhaolin is going to try his luck fighting against Zhao Jun."


    "Are you sure it was Zhang Hui?"


    If they were really Meng Zhaolin''s people, then this matter could not be underestimated. The inner working of the entire underground nightlife industry in Tianhe city might change.


    "With the surveillance footage we just watched together, don''t you think so?"


    Qin Feng asked, "He has a motive. These people do things with complete disregard for the consequences. Anything that¡¯s of no use to them is destroyed! Just awful."


    "This was not aimed at me. Meng Zhaolin and Zhao Jun have not had a good relationship in the past. The last time a major road project was undertaken by the city, both of them wanted to step in. In the end, it was very tense. Nobody dared to offend the boss in the engineering department, and finally they each got half of the project. Although they made money, it was clear that if they would disagree with each other all the time, the project wouldn¡¯t have been completed by both parties. However, if they always separated the project into half, the brothers would have no money to live. That¡¯s why tonight''s fire happened to us," Sister Flower analyzed.


    Qin Feng clearly knew that this was only one of the reasons. He still had a secret, but he did not say it.


    Qin Feng had already seen the list of Chinese drug distribution points stolen from Shark Kun. The distribution points in Tianhe City were very popular, but they were only managed by third-rate "agents", and they were the lowest level. The volume and goods they took were meager, but even so, the profiteering was unimaginable, and it was Meng Zhaolin who controlled the trading of drugs in Tianhe City.


    This was also the reason for his rise to prominence in recent years. The main reason that he didn¡¯t respect Zhao Jun as much as before was that he had a lot of money on hand. Since he had a lot of money, he would have a lot of people to fight for him. Thus, his power grew. No one dared to mess with him.


    On the other hand, since Sister Flower managed the Free Man Bar, she did not allow any drugs inside. The other two bars owned by Zhao Jun, Nocturniae and Supersonic, took very high commissions on the goods from Meng Zhaolin''s side, which greatly reduced his profits. Moreover, Zhao Jun¡¯s business model also inspired several other underground bosses in Tianhe to follow his example. In this way, the overall efficiency of Meng Zhaolin¡¯s network declined substantially. He was doing this business at the risk of losing his head. If he did not have considerable profits to pave the way, why would he risk his life in this dangerous game? And now Zhao Jun had become an obstacle in the way of making his fortune, especially in this Free Man Bar which refused to let in any drugs. This made Meng Zhaolin resentful. Besides, Sister Flower didn¡¯t know how to cooperate and didn¡¯t agree to work for him. Tonight''s incident was like killing chickens in front of a pet monkey to serve as an example.


    .


    Nevertheless, Qin Feng couldn¡¯t divulge this kind of thing. Knowing it would not benefit Sister Flower. Soon, the guests of the bar were all gone. Qin Feng had an early shift and could go back to rest early, but he was forced to stick around until after 2:00 in the morning.


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Sister Flower was also tired, wanting to go home to rest. Qin Feng took a taxi, ready to go to the hospital and check on Zhu Fei, but just as he got into the taxi, another figure plunged in beside him.


    Qin Feng was stunned. The person who got into the car was Jiang Xiaowen of the Art Institute.


    "What are you doing?"


    Qin Feng was a little confused, "I thought you had left early. What are you doing here?"


    Generally, this kind of dancer would leave after one o''clock. When the crowds were beginning to thin out, they would leave. But this girl had gone out with the Free Man Bar¡¯s staff through the back door.


    "I was waiting for you."


    Jiang Xiaowen smiled with joy. "The man looking for you tonight was so fierce. You two went out the back door. Nothing happened?"


    Qin Feng muttered, "What did you want to happen?"


    "Will you buy me dinner? I¡¯m hungry."


    Jiang Xiaowen did not regard herself as an outsider at all, and said to the driver, "Mister, please go to Yanshan Road, where there¡¯s good food."


    "I..."


    Qin Feng was too embarrassed to refuse the young girl''s initiative. In this area, there were only two reasons why males and females went out.


    One was for the money. It didn¡¯t matter what the richer person was like, as long as the money was enough. They would go out to eat, drink, sing, and get a room.


    The other was to look for people who could look into their eyes. These kind of people usually did things reluctantly and wanted to find a well-balanced person among the other fish in the sea, such as Qin Feng in this scenario. Jiang Xiaowen would not likely ask for money at all. If Qin Feng ate with her, they got along well and she felt at ease, they might just end up sleeping together. It would make for a delightful evening.


    Jiang Xiaowen grabbed Qin Feng''s arm and leaned close to him.


    The scent of her body dazed Qin Feng for a while. "Don¡¯t you need to go back to school?"


    He knew what she had in mind, but he asked anyway. Qin Feng was not an apologist. If such a great specimen of a woman gifted herself to him, he had no reason to reject her.


    But what happened the other night and over the past two days made him nervous, he didn¡¯t want to have other things to worry about by adding one more variable into his life.


    The driver listened to Jiang Xiaowen''s instructions and did not ask Qin Feng''s opinion, he took off for Yanshan Road.


    "Me? No. Now that I am a sophomore, the dorm staff don¡¯t check up on attendance, so I don''t have to go back. My roommates never sleep there. Being the only one in my dorm room scares me to death."


    Jiang Xiaowen was almost buried in Qin Feng''s chest, like a cat. His strong chest muscles made her feel very attracted to him. Such a man could be called a man and being with him gave her a sense of security.


    "I''m going to the hospital in a few minutes. When I''m done eating, We¡¯ll have to part ways."


    After thinking about it for a moment, Qin Feng still felt a responsibility to go to Zhu Fei for a visit that night. He was afraid that the neurotic Jia Dapeng would harass her in the middle of the night.


    "Ah? What happened? Is something wrong with you? I could walk you to the hospital."


    Jiang Xiaowen moved her head in front of Qin Feng nervously, with a serious expression.


    "No, it¡¯s a friend of mine.¡±


    Qin Feng went on, "After all, we just met...right? I''ve been really preoccupied lately. By the way, I think you may have some misunderstanding about me. I''m not in charge of the Free Man Bar. I''m just an ordinary waiter who cleans tables, I make only two or three thousand Yuan a month. You must be looking for a different kind of person... right???"

 Chapter 29 Horrifying

    Qin Feng did not want to be too blunt. He thought everyone should know in their hearts that a girl like her who came to the night clubs to earn extra money, would only go after men for their money. He thought it was better to make things clear in advance, to avoid an unpleasant misunderstanding later on, even though Qin Feng actually had a lot of money in a Swiss bank account. His identity was not easy to reveal, especially in places like Tianhe, where people were so haphazard. Getting too close to him would only bring her trouble. The girl was beautiful, but that was just another reason Qin Feng wanted to protect her.


    Alienating her was the responsible thing to do, for her own safety.


    However, the disappointed expression Qin Feng was expecting never came. On the contrary, Jiang Xiaowen smiled like a flower. "What was that? I''m looking for you, not for money. I''ve made enough of it myself. I can save five or six thousand yuan a month after paying tuition fees and living expenses. I just think you''re charming, and I''ve noticed you before. "


    Hearing this, Qin Feng was both happy and worried in his heart. Over the years in his military career, he had already gotten used to a lonely life. Although he had been looking for women without interruption and his needs in that aspect could always be satisfied, being with this kind of pure campus girl was really rare. Being together with her, Qin Feng felt particularly comfortable. His wound-up brain had the natural reflex to relax. This was the pace of life he wished for.


    But his circumstances did not allow him to be so indulgent. Rigid self-control was one of the qualities that a Special Forces soldier must have. Even though Jiang Xiaowen was attractive, Qin Feng knew what he had to do.


    "I''m really boring, I''m in debt, and... Did you see that friend of mine? When we went to the back door, it was actually for¡­" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows towards Jiang Xiaowen, "You know."


    "What?"


    Jiang Xiaowen did not react for a moment, looking at Qin Feng''s smiling face. She suddenly understood and was shocked. "Ah? You¡¯re gay...?¡±


    Qin Feng preemptively said, "Yes. So, when he saw you approaching me he was a little angry. That was a man''s jealousy. I don¡¯t blame you, you don''t understand our world."


    Jiang Xiaowen pushed away to the side, let go of Qin Feng''s arm, and looked at him a little nervously. "How do you...?"


    "I like it, it''s been a long time. I feel like, compared with being with men... Forget it. I could tell you, but you wouldn¡¯t understand."


    £¡£¡£¡


    Qin Feng embarrassedly smiled.


    "Mister... Mister, please pull over."


    The taxi driver parked, and Qin Feng was the first to get off. "Mister, please drive her back to school."


    Looking at the receding taxi, Qin Feng sighed. "Perhaps, this is fate. One needs to endure too much loneliness; only in this way can one take on responsibility."


    !!!


    Zhu Fei was just carrying some warm water in the corridor when Qin Feng arrived. When she saw him, she exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you here?"


    Zhu Fei''s small hands were carrying two big thermoses, and Qin Feng took them over, "I just got off work. It¡¯s nothing, I just came by to check up on stuff."


    "You¡¯re not a pimp, are you? You just got off work?" Zhu Fei asked doubtfully. "Oh my goodness. You''re a pimp! Get away from me!" She said jokingly.


    Qin Feng asked with a serious face, "How is your father? Is he better?"


    "Well, much better. All the tests came back; no internal injuries, no brain problems."


    "Well, that''s good. Jia Dapeng didn''t come?"


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    "No, he just made two calls, and I didn''t answer. Oh, if he dares come by! When Dad leaves the hospital, I will tear him up," Zhu Fei angrily said and pushed open the ward door. The nurse inside was sorting out Zhu Fangguo¡¯s quilt. The temperature in the room was a little low; they were afraid he would catch a cold.


    Qin Feng carefully put the thermoses on a cabinet. The nurse came over anxiously. "OK, you young couple can go to sleep. I am here, so you can rest assured."


    Awkward.


    Qin Feng stood to the side, looking rough, while Zhu Fei¡¯s cheeks flushed red, and she shyly buried her head in her shoulders.


    "So, Sister Xiu, are we done?"


    There was a division of labor between Zhu Fei and the nurse. Zhu Fei worked during the day. The nurse took over at night. Zhu Fei was resting in the spare ward she rented next door, when she suddenly woke up, worried that her father would get a bedsore. But she ran over only to see him sleeping peacefully, and was reassured. Seeing his thermos bottle was empty, she took the initiative to fill it and bring a spare. Then Qin Feng appeared.


    The reason Sister Xiu thought they were together was mainly because Zhu Fangguo had woken up earlier and exchanged a few words with her, saying that his girl''s boyfriend was very handsome, looking very steady; he was very satisfied with him.


    In the break room next door, there were two simple beds. Qin Feng said awkwardly, "After tonight, us being a couple will become common knowledge. Shall we do something about it?"


    Looking at Qin Feng''s evil smile, Zhu Fei rolled her eyes at him. "What! Really, shame on you. How come you told my father that you were my boyfriend? What were you thinking!?"


    "Would he be at ease if I did not say that? You, a helpless young girl here in this town. He cannot recognize you, cannot take care of you. If I hadn¡¯t said that, wouldn¡¯t he be anxious to make you go back home? Didn''t I explain this to you already?" Qin Feng quickly said.


    "You''re right," Zhu Fei grumbled. "This is not good. You pretended to be my boyfriend in front of Jia Dapeng and you also did it in front of my father here... Hey, I really do not know how to face him in the future."


    "Simple. While he is hospitalized, you cultivate a close relationship with him. Then, when he warms up to you, you can find a chance to explain it to him clearly, and then I can be ¡®relieved of duty¡¯. If you think I am in the way, I can also move out. We won¡¯t be under the same roof. Would that be better?" Qin Feng said.


    Hearing this, Zhu Fei''s heart inexplicably felt a trace of melancholy, and she said, "Well, it''s three o''clock. Go to bed."


    They lay in separate beds, head to head. The middle was separated by two thin bedside panels. They could hear each other''s breathing.


    The night had finally calmed down.


    Qin Feng looked at the dark window, but his heart could not calm down. He was thinking about the safety of Green Snake. If Sister Flower here was safe enough, he would go to the border again, to look for his former female comrade.


    Well, he didn¡¯t know if she was alive or dead.


    Also, whether or not Green Dragon was worthy his complete trust, and whether or not Gu Shaoyun, who was in charge of the Special Forces Brigade, was the spy Xiao He told him about before he died ¨C that remained to be seen.


    Before that, Shark Kun¡¯s distribution list in his possession could not be leaked to anyone. Too many people''s wealth and lives were at stake. The names involved in the list were startling. Many senior officials were involved in it and had became porters in this super-profitable industry.

 Chapter 30 Duties

    He had to reach out to Minister Kang as soon as possible and determine his loyalty to the Republic before he could put the list in the hands of the head of the national security system.


    In contrast, the case of Ji Dongchen was already the smallest.


    The fact that he¡¯d stopped calling was good. If he again dared to provoke him or Sister Flower, Qin Feng would not go soft on him again; he would have to beat him down.


    Oh, Xiao He, if only you were still alive. Our brothers would still be fighting side by side, there were too many battles left to fight, more victories and more glory were ahead, and we were shouldering the mission of the people, but now...


    At the beginning of the Golden Four¡¯s temporary dissolution, Qin Feng''s heart was heavy.


    "What are you thinking about?"


    Suddenly, Zhu Fei''s words pulled Qin Feng back to reality.


    "No-Nothing. Why aren''t you sleeping?" Qin Feng asked.


    "I can''t sleep. Hey, I don''t know what happened to my mom after I left. Li Jianbin has a very bad temper. Sometimes he doesn¡¯t come home for three days at a time. The women that he looks for from outside are basically countless. My mother is actually very suffocated. I really feel sad for her."


    Zhufei sighed.


    "It''s her choice, didn''t you say that? She craves that rich life."


    "Today she called me and said that after Zhou Liang found out that I ran away from home, he was furious and said he wanted to come to Tianhe to find me."


    "Zhou Liang? Is that who your stepdad wants to introduce you to?"


    "Yes, it was him; a dandy who is of the same batch as Jia Dapeng."


    Zhu Fei sighed helplessly, "I just can''t peacefully live my life."


    Whoo!


    After hearing this, Qin Feng could not help laughing. "This is proof that you are attractive. Those who like you are the children of rich families. They are poisonous. You must be regarded as the best of the best."


    "Well, I don''t want them. I like the steadiness and security of real men. They always want me just because they can¡¯t have me. I do not want to be so. Once they have me, they will realize that is the case and then they will turn their eyes to other women."


    Zhu Fei was very clear about this. She clearly understood what she wanted, what she was suitable for, what kind of feelings could last, what kind of love could last forever.


    Perhaps because of her parents'' marriage changes, Zhu Fei was particularly sensitive to this aspect. She was afraid that this bad luck would come to her, too. She feared that one day, she would be abandoned, would fall into the streets, with no one around her.


    "You think a lot."


    The image of a woman suddenly flashed in Qin Feng''s mind. It was his first love, from before he was a soldier - Li Menglu.


    Many years passed since that time. Although those days were long gone, every time he thought of her, he would still feel like yesterday. Her figure was very clear in his mind. She was still so good-looking, like blooming flowers. Gorgeous in the depths of Qin Feng¡¯s heart.


    "Well, go to sleep. I am sleepy."


    Zhu Fei yawned, "Today was such a troublesome day..."


    ---


    The next morning, as Xiao Jinhua stepped out of her home in Green Garden, she saw Qin Feng, in dark sunglasses, leaning on the hood of her car, his toned form shaped by a jacket. He looked very cool in his boots.


    Xiao Jinhua trotted over anxiously, "Are you here?"


    Qin Feng placed a packed breakfast on the hood of the car. "I hope you haven¡¯t eaten yet, Sister Flower?"


    "Oh, Old Fortune''s little steamed buns are so sweet. And his black rice jelly porridge... You are so considerate."


    Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    Sister Flower was as excited as a child who had just been given a new toy. "Qin Feng, how did you get this? Every time I go there there¡¯s a huge line and I can''t manage to get any."


    "I just went early."


    Qin Feng walked over to the driver¡¯s side. "I¡¯ll drive. You eat."


    "Alright."


    Sister flower comfortably sat in the passenger seat and happily bit the steamed bun, laughing as she ate.


    Qin Feng¡¯s drove leisurely. He glanced at her, "What is it? What are you laughing at?"


    "It suddenly occurred to me that your presence is very interesting."


    Sister Flower murmured, "In the past, my life was quite simple. I was either at home or at the bar. Now that you showed, I feel a lot of trouble around me, but I also feel very happy; do you understand? Although it¡¯s only a small breakfast¡­ no one bought me anything like this in a long time."


    Sister Flower''s past experience was naturally rich with stories, but Qin Feng didn¡¯t want to pry. He just wanted to fulfill his responsibility. He did not expect that Tianhe night court¡¯s Sister Flower would be moved by a small steamed bun. Perhaps women pay more attention to the little details.


    "Sister Flower, I''d like to meet Brother Jun. Can you arrange it?"


    Before Qin Feng came over that morning, he had a thought. He hoped to be able to settle things quickly and get Sister Flower¡¯s life back on the right track. Being so scared every day was not a long-term solution.


    Qin Feng had to be careful not to go too far. He knew that if his skill was recognized in Tianhe, he would soon become famous. Then, the military would naturally recall him as a Special Forces soldier on active duty to resume carrying out his duties in the interests of the Republic. If the chief knew he was a bar waiter in small Tianhe, he would certainly be furious.


    Over such a long period of time, it would certainly not work. He had to subdue Ji Dongchen, Jia Dapeng and Meng Zhaolin as soon as possible, so that he could safely return to the capital to resume his normal life, and then he would apply for the occasional visit to Tianhe City to take care of Sister Flower. Staying with her every day wasn¡¯t realistic. Qin Feng still had greater ambitions to be realized. There were still more tasks waiting for him. That the Republic had cultivated an elite warrior like him, was not to protect women in a small prefecture-level city. His abilities needed to be reflected on a larger stage, at least at the national and even intercontinental levels.


    Qin Feng did not forget Xiao He''s last wish. But he understood the priorities. On the basis of ensuring the safety of Sister Flower, he had to reorganize the special combat unit and continue to fight.


    Qin Feng did not want to be too conspicuous, so he hoped to achieve his goal through Brother Jun.


    "You want to meet him?"


    Hearing this, Sister Flower was stunned. She put the small steamed bun aside, and said seriously, "No way. You are just a waiter; he will not see you. He would directly talk with me if you two had anything to talk about."


    In fact, what Sister Flower was more afraid of was that Brother Jun would just tie up Qin Feng and send him to Ji Dongchen as a bargaining chip and a peace offering.


    If that happened, no matter how greatly skilled he was, she was afraid he could not be able to escape a tragic ending.


    Sister Flower was intentionally protecting Qin Feng. She knew it was very difficult to keep him safe. Yet somehow, this man in front of her always evoked the desire to do anything in her power to take care of him.
