NOVEL WEB Chapter 68: New Trouble!
Bai Zhiqing smiled bitterly. She could easily guess with her toes that Jiang Feng must have heard her entire conversation with Zhang Zhi just now. The saying goes, 'Good news doesn't go out, bad news travels a thousand miles,' and a sense of sadness and humiliation surged in her heart again.
"Yes."
"Looks like you haven't been too lucky with people in the past." Jiang Feng chuckled, glossing over with a single comment without further judgment.
"That's why I ended all ties with him, never to cross paths again in this life." Bai Zhiqing took a deep drag on her cigarette, blowing out a thick, aromatic smoke ring, "I didn't expect he'd shamelessly come to bother me again. Luckily, you were around this time; otherwise, I wouldn't know how to deal with that jerk!"
"That's a problem. What if he comes looking for you again?" Jiang Feng looked at Bai Zhiqing and asked.
"Haha, what else can I do? Are you going to protect me around the clock?" Bai Zhiqing laughed, her pink little foot swinging over her leg, swaying before Jiang Feng's eyes. The red on her toenails painted an irregular rhombus as her jade-like foot kept moving in front of Jiang Feng's eyes.
Jiang Feng averted his gaze and said calmly, "Of course not. I'm a security guard, not a bodyguard."
"Is there a difference between a security guard and a bodyguard? With Qingcheng at school now, Fengming is under my say. How you work is up to me, otherwise, I'll dock your wages."
As she spoke, she leaned her body diagonally on the sofa, her fair legs stretched diagonally between her and Jiang Feng, her slender jade foot almost reaching Jiang Feng.
"Supervisor Bai, there's no fun in talking like that, but I can promise you, if that guy comes looking for you again, just one phone call from you and I'll be right there." Jiang Feng replied calmly.
Bai Zhiqing pouted, feeling it was a bit dull. She was just joking, but the reply was way too formal.
"Let's not talk about me. I heard Zhang Zhi say just now that he knows you and mentioned you hit his step-son Kang Hui. What's that about?" Bai Zhiqing asked curiously.
"Kang Hui is his son?" Jiang Feng found the situation a bit absurd. Zhang Zhi seemed at most about twenty-five or six, yet Kang Hui was about the same age as himself and Nangong Qingcheng. How could he have such an old son?
Bai Zhiqing sighed and, without hiding anything, explained how Zhang Zhi had abandoned her to run off with that noblewoman from the Kang Family.
That noblewoman was Kang Hui's mother, and Zhang Zhi was the young man she kept. Legally, Zhang Zhi was indeed Kang Hui's stepfather.
"I see." Jiang Feng sneered. As expected, birds of a feather flock together!
"Xiao Feng, the Kang Family holds quite a bit of influence in South City. Today, you not only hit Zhang Zhi for me but also hit Kang Hui. Won't this cause trouble later?" Bai Zhiqing asked, looking worriedly at Jiang Feng.
"I never seek trouble, but if trouble finds me, I won't be afraid. Whether it's the Kang Family or anyone else, if they dare to act up in front of me, I'll break their legs." Jiang Feng's expression remained calm.
Bai Zhiqing opened her mouth slightly. To this day, she couldn't understand where Jiang Feng's confidence and courage came from, that he dared to look down on everything!
However, thinking about it carefully, she had indeed never seen Jiang Feng fearing anyone, whether it was the Jian Group's Ma Chi or Zhang Zhi just moments ago. He treated them casually, displaying an impressive boldness!
But Bai Zhiqing always felt Jiang Feng was a bit overconfident. He hit Ma Chi, and the Jian Group didn't retaliate later because the black ledger suddenly leaked and they were targeted by the action department, which involved a lucky element. But the Kang Family's influence in South City is not weak either, and if they seek revenge, the consequences would be severe.
At this moment, she made up her mind; no matter how the Kang Family might retaliate, she would stand by Jiang Feng's side and face it together!
...
After Zhang Zhi ran out of Fengming Company, his face was injured so severely that blood was streaming down, and he had no choice but to find a nearby clinic for treatment.
As he winced and snickered with pain, having the doctor disinfect and bandage his wounds, he glanced at himself in the mirror and felt a surge of anger and hatred towards Jiang Feng!
The reason he was initially noticed by Kang Rong was his handsome face, but now, with just one slap from Jiang Feng, his appearance was ruined, and he lost his meal ticket as a kept man. How could he not panic?
"I must quickly find a plastic surgery hospital to fix and restore this, or it's only a matter of time before that tigress kicks me out!" Zhang Zhi thought anxiously, filled with resentment towards Jiang Feng because one slap had essentially cut off his livelihood!
Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was the tigress Kang Rong calling!
Just as he feared, speak of the devil; she was already checking up on him!
"Hello, dear, what's up?" Zhang Zhi forced a smile, sweetly asking with hypocrisy.
"Zhang Zhi, where the hell have you been all morning? Xiao Hui woke up, and you didn't even come to see him. Are you itching for trouble?" An extremely impatient female voice said on the other end.
"Xiao Hui is awake? Hang on, I'm heading to the hospital now! Also, don't be mad, dear. I have tremendous news to tell you, consider it my achievement, you should reward me!"
Zhang Zhi flattered, ending the call, and pointed at his disfigured face in the mirror, "Jiang Feng, just you wait; soon it'll be your turn to look bad!"
...
At Southern City Hospital, in a certain special care ward, Kang Hui finally woke up after surgery three days ago.
That night at "July Fire," because he had offended Jiang Feng the most, Zhuge Yi ordered him to be beaten the hardest, causing his spleen to bleed. He was dangerously close to losing his life.
After being sent to the hospital, his surgery took the longest time, nearly driving Kang Rong out of her mind with worry.
Now, seeing Kang Hui awake, the noble, slightly plump woman hurried to her son's side, inquiring about his condition and summoning all the doctors and specialists for a comprehensive examination.
After a thorough check, confirming all of Kang Hui's indicators were normal, Kang Rong finally felt at ease.
"Son, don't worry. I know everything that happened that night at 'July Fire.' I won't let you be beaten in vain. I will get revenge for you and ensure justice is served!" Kang Rong promised with gritted teeth, trying to reassure her son.
"Don't... don't seek revenge..." Kang Hui, terribly weak and pale-faced, shook his head, "The one who ordered me beaten was Zhuge Yi. He's Zhuge Yuheng's son; we can't provoke him..."
"We certainly can't provoke Zhuge Yi. But I heard the root cause wasn't the little tramp from the Nangong Family and the live-in son-in-law? We don't dare retaliate against Zhuge Yi and Mao Shaobo, but we can handle those two, right? Especially that live-in son-in-law. I heard he was quite rampant that night; Zhuge Yi beat you to appease him, right?" Kang Rong asked with clenched teeth.
"Yes!" Recalling Jiang Feng, even with excruciating pain throughout his body, Kang Hui felt full of hatred!
That night, Jiang Feng not only made a mockery of him but also indirectly led to his internal injuries. More importantly, Jiang Feng was also the man of the woman Kang Hui was interested in. All these reasons meant Kang Hui would never easily let Jiang Feng go, never!
