Chapter 146: Chapter 139: Brimming with Killing Intent
Xiao Lin has been troubled about how to bring up the matter of Er Hu with Liang Feng, not knowing how to start. He knows Hu Zi is Liang Feng’s world, and thinking about that time, Xiao Lin feels guilt toward Liang Feng.
"Take it one step at a time. If she really asks, then just tell her!" Xiao Lin thought silently to himself. The car was parked next to the school gate, expecting that it would take Liang Feng ten to twenty minutes to arrive. Maybe, within these ten to twenty minutes, he could come up with a good solution.
But just three minutes later, Xiao Lin’s phone rang. It was a call from Liang Feng. Xiao Lin opened the car window and looked around; Liang Feng was already standing under the big lion next to the school gate, holding her phone and looking around.
Xiao Lin didn’t answer the phone, hung up, and waved toward Liang Feng, saying, "Xiao Feng, over here!"
Liang Feng had already seen Xiao Lin when he poked his head out. At this moment, Liang Feng’s attire was somewhat like a university student—simple T-shirt and jeans, fully outlining her good figure. Her delicate face was untouched by makeup, almost a different image from the last time Xiao Lin saw her at Dragon and Tiger World. Had it not been for his strong impression of Liang Feng, who hadn’t changed much from her childhood, Xiao Lin perhaps wouldn’t have recognized her due to her change of clothes and style.
Xiao Lin took a few more glances at Liang Feng. The night’s situation didn’t give him much attention on Liang Feng, and her attire then seemed quite peculiar to Xiao Lin. For an eighteen or nineteen-year-old university student, such an outfit added ten years directly. But looking at her now, she indeed caught more of Xiao Lin’s attention.
Hence, Xiao Lin had to admit, the little girl has grown up, standing graceful like a fully bloomed lotus. Her pure face carried a slight blush, jeans tightly wrapped around her rounded hips, plus Liang Feng’s foundation in training made her figure perfect and strikingly lovely.
Liang Feng hurried over, sweetly calling out, "Brother Lin!" Her extremely innocent smile was beyond imagination that she could be the leader of an influential gang on the street.
"Get in the car!" Seeing Liang Feng’s sweet smile, all of Xiao Lin’s worries vanished. He responded with a smile.
In the car, Xiao Lin showed some care for Liang Feng’s study and life over the years, but did not ask about why Liang Feng organized the Fei Feng Gang. Regarding this issue, Xiao Lin was quite troubled, so he simply avoided asking.
Liang Feng also knew that organizing the Fei Feng Gang surely displeased Xiao Lin, so she tactfully didn’t bring it up. She happily talked about the trivial aspects of life Xiao Lin inquired about.
"We haven’t seen each other for years, and the snot-nosed kid following behind has grown into a big girl!" Xiao Lin said with a playful smile.
"... Brother Lin, when was I a snot-nosed kid? When we met, I was almost twelve years old!" Liang Feng’s face reddened a little as she rebutted, "You heard it from my brother, right? I was only a three or four-year-old kid then!" Liang Feng also felt uneasy, not knowing why, mentioning her brother Er Hu gave her an unsettling feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.
Upon hearing Liang Feng mention her brother Er Hu, Xiao Lin’s expression hardened slightly before smiling and responding, "Yes, I often hear Hu Zi talk about your childhood embarrassing stories. By the way, do you know someone named Chen Yufeng in Jiangling?" Xiao Lin didn’t dare to delve further into this question, afraid that Liang Feng might ask about Hu Zi’s situation, unsure of how to answer, and unsure if Liang Feng could bear such an impact. So, he changed the subject, coincidentally Liang Feng is from Jiangling, having studied there, and also mixed in the Jiangling Road, asking her should yield some information.
"Chen Yufeng?" Liang Feng’s face suddenly turned cold, saying, "Even if she turned into ashes, I would recognize her!"
"You know her?" Xiao Lin glanced at Liang Feng. At this point, Liang Feng’s pure face seemed to be covered with frost, cold enough to be frightening. He thought that perhaps Chen Yufeng had offended Liang Feng, given her arrogant personality.
"Relying on the Zhang Family’s power in Jiangling, she acted recklessly. If it weren’t for her, my grandpa wouldn’t have died so early!" Liang Feng’s voice turned to ice.
Grandpa Liang’s passing, Xiao Lin knew, he had been gone for almost five years. When this news came, Hu Zi had tripled the usual training load for Xiao Lin on that day. Xiao Lin and other teammates had thought Hu Zi was intensifying training due to the tension of the first mission. Looking back now, it seemed not to be the case.
"Xiao Feng, what’s going on? Tell Brother Lin!" Xiao Lin’s expression darkened. From Xiao Feng’s tone, Grandpa Liang’s death was definitely not ordinary. Hu Zi didn’t mention anything about this, and during the period Hu Zi did return home twice, he showed no abnormal reactions afterwards, so Xiao Lin hadn’t queried him. But hearing Xiao Feng say this now, Grandpa Liang’s death seemed greatly related to Chen Yufeng?
"It’s all in the past, besides the mastermind behind Grandpa’s death has already been brought to justice!" Liang Feng took a deep breath, eyes revealing endless desolation, "However, I always feel that Grandpa’s death is not so simple... forget it, everything is already past!"
"Did your brother say something to you?" Even though Xiao Lin didn’t want to bring up Hu Zi now, he still thought about why Liang Feng didn’t want to talk. Hu Zi is introverted, holding many things inside unspoken.
"No, no, my brother didn’t say anything to me!" Liang Feng hurriedly denied.
Xiao Lin noticed that Liang Feng didn’t want to talk about it, and since he wasn’t the kind to force others to speak against their will, he refrained from pressing further. However, in his heart, he harbored a growing intent to kill towards Chen Yufeng. If it were merely a conflict with Xia Xue, arrogance could be forgiven, but now it involved the cause of Grandpa Liang’s death, and no matter what, he had to give Hu Zi a satisfactory explanation in the afterlife.
"By the way, Brother Lin, what did you want to know about Chen Yufeng earlier?" Liang Feng changed the topic.
"How’s this person in Jiangling?" After pondering for a while, Xiao Lin asked, "I mean, their conduct and character!"
"Chen Yufeng is a tyrant in Jiangling, relying on the power of being Zhang Teng’s wife from the Zhang Family, she acts recklessly. Anyone who displeases her could easily be beaten or even killed. However, the Zhang Family is overwhelmingly powerful in Jiangling, and no one can shake them. Moreover, the county party secretary of Jiangling is Chen Yufeng’s cousin, and it’s rumored that Chen Yufeng is part of Yanjing’s four major families, the Chen Family, which is why she dares to be so overbearing!" Liang Feng really knew a lot about Jiangling since she only left two years ago. She was very familiar with everything there; she could even recount specific instances of Chen Yufeng bullying someone or injuring someone.
"Isn’t anyone dealing with this? Are the police in Jiangling just doing nothing?" The more Xiao Lin listened, the deeper his frown became. Were these local tyrants really this arrogant?
"Deal with it? How? The county party secretary is Chen Yufeng’s cousin, the chief of Jiangling Police Station is Chen Yufeng’s brother-in-law, and the president of the Jiangling Court is a son-in-law of the Zhang Family. In Jiangling, the Zhang Family is practically the emperor; with a word from Zhang Teng, they can decide who lives and who dies!"
On the way, Xiao Lin listened intently to Liang Feng’s descriptions about the Zhang Family; there was barely anything positive mentioned. Some stories even sent chills down Xiao Lin’s spine. Of course, Xiao Lin wasn’t about to accept everything Liang Feng said blindly; all decisions would have to be made once he reached Jiangling.
As they gradually drove into Jiangling County, Liang Feng’s description of the Zhang Family was almost complete. After both had a bottle of mineral water, Xiao Lin finally took out his phone and called Xia Xue.
On the other end, chaos was heard, causing Xiao Lin’s heart to tighten. He urgently asked, "Xia Xue, I’ve arrived in Jiangling County. Where are you? What’s the situation now?"
"I’m at the traffic police team..." Xia Xue hadn’t finished speaking when a voice, filled with arrogance, came through from a distance into the phone: "You bitch, I want to see which god you think you can summon to save you. In Jiangling, no one who dares offend me, Chen Yufeng, has ever met a good end!"
Xiao Lin hung up the phone and asked Liang Feng, "Xiao Feng, do you know how to get to the traffic police team?"
"Yes, go straight to the roundabout, then turn right to the end, and you’ll be at the traffic police team’s courtyard!" Liang Feng was naturally familiar with these parts of Jiangling; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to establish the Fei Feng Gang there.
"Buckle up!"
After Chen Yufeng came out of the hall, her anger only grew. When had she ever been defied like this in recent years? Moreover, she had lost in the standing committee meeting this time and didn’t even know how. Always used to looking down on others and being incredibly arrogant, Chen Yufeng, relying on the power of the Zhang Family and her birth family, immediately gathered her brother’s henchmen to block the courtyard, kicking and slashing at Xia Xue’s sports car.
At this moment, Xia Xue, escorted by Sun Chuanxuan, also came out to the hall, preparing to return to Yanjing. Upon learning that her car had been wrecked by that shrewish bully, she was so angry that her eyes turned red.
When Xia Xue and Sun Chuanxuan appeared in the courtyard, Xia Xue’s car was already unrecognizable. Chen Yufeng stood arrogantly in front of the car, with her stiletto heel stepping on the already ruined car.
Seeing Xia Xue’s furious face and the utterly wrecked car, Chen Yufeng’s anger finally calmed down a bit.
"Sun Chuanxuan, if you have the guts, you should stay by her side all the time, or take along those little weaklings by your side and escort her back to Yanjing. Otherwise, on this land of Jiangling, this bitch won’t have a good time!" After stomping on the car twice, Chen Yufeng finally prepared to walk away triumphantly.
"Uncle Sun..." Xia Xue bit her lip. She was so furious; this car had been with her for many years. Every time it got a scratch, she would eagerly send it for maintenance, but now it was unrecognizable, and she could hardly recognize it herself.
"Captain Zhao, arrest her for me!" Sun Chuanxuan suddenly shouted.
At this moment, a silver-white QQ car rushed in, recklessly crashing through as if attempting to knock everyone away. The traffic police team members and the criminal investigation team members who had arrived earlier scattered to avoid being hit. (To be continued.
