Chapter 850: The Calm Before the Storm
Jiang Feng quickly emerged from the Chang family's mansion once again.
He executed Chang Wanhe and his son with ease, appearing completely unfazed.
This made Fang Zhao think of him as a demon, but he dared not ask questions carelessly.
"Mr. Jiang, should I... send you back now?" Fang Zhao said with a wry smile.
He feared Jiang Feng might kill the donkey after the grinding is done, and include him as well.
Just as Jiang Feng was about to nod, his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw it was Wu Feng calling.
Jiang Feng didn't avoid it, answering the call in front of Fang Zhao.
"Master, I have something to report to you."
Wu Feng said respectfully on the other end: "Tomorrow is the 58th birthday of Qi Family Patriarch Qi Xingchun! He's planning a grand celebration and has already started hosting guests in advance. Qi Mengge is currently hiding in the Qi family, saying it's to celebrate her father's birthday—should we take any action?"
"Birthday celebration?"
Jiang Feng frowned. Qi Xingchun's birthday coincidentally fell just a day apart from Zhang Qinyao's.
"Of course, we should take action, at least prepare a gift. Wait for me, I'm heading to the Provincial City now."
"Yes!"
After hanging up, Fang Zhao was even more terrified and cold as ice!
Qi Family?
Was it the fourth-ranking Qi family in the Provincial City?
How come Jiang Feng's tone suggested there might be grudges with them too?
My god, this ancestor really knows how to pick tough nuts to crack!
"Take me to the Provincial City."
Jiang Feng leaned back in the passenger seat, spoke calmly, and then closed his eyes to rest.
"Yes, yes!"
Fang Zhao didn't dare to speak another word, and immediately started the car, driving Jiang Feng to the Provincial City.
...
In the Provincial City, inside the former Yanchi Villa of the Yan family, no one knew what Jiang Feng and Wu Feng discussed.
All that was known was that at dusk, Jiang Feng again had Fang Zhao, who had been a driver most of the day, drive him back.
And all along the way, Fang Zhao's face had become completely pale!
He knew very well once tomorrow's events unfold as planned by Jiang Feng and Wu Feng, the entire Jiangdong would be turned upside down.
If it goes wrong, it might trigger a more sensational and earth-shaking chain reaction than Huangfu Qingzhi's mysterious disappearance!
All one could say was that Jiang Feng was utterly lawless, totally unmeasurable by common sense.
Furthermore, having gone through this, Wu Feng also realized that Jiang Feng's lack of background, low-key demeanor, and humble origins... were all false!
He was genuinely a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Even the true controller of the Provincial City's Yan family obeys him, calling him "Master"...
One can only imagine how terrifying the hidden side of Jiang Feng is!
At dusk, Fang Zhao finally delivered Jiang Feng back to Binhai, and he was nearly exhausted.
"Mr. Jiang, we've... arrived..." he said with a bitter smile.
"Mm."
Jiang Feng opened his eyes, glanced outside, and said calmly, "If you want to reveal what happened today, I won't stop you."
"I dare not, I absolutely dare not!!"
Fang Zhao's scalp was tingling: "Mr. Jiang, rest assured! Today, I was never in Binhai, I know nothing!"
"I don't want to see you again in the future." Jiang Feng added.
"Understood! Going forward, Fang Zhao will disappear from your sight forever, I will go into hiding and leave Jiangdong! Mr. Jiang—thank you for not killing me!"
Fang Zhao trembled like a sieve, but he also sharply sensed that Jiang Feng might spare him, and he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, filled with gratitude.
Jiang Feng said nothing more, got out of the car, and left.
Fang Zhao dared not linger in this land of right and wrong, quickly hit the gas pedal and drove off swiftly.
...
The city lights came on, a day of hustle and twists has passed.
For Jiang Feng, it was a rare early return home.
Of course, this peace was only the calm before the storm!
He hailed a cab, just about to head back to the villa, when he suddenly received a call from Murong Qian.
Jiang Feng was a bit startled looking at the number.
Since that time at Murong Qian's dorm, where he "fled in disarray," he had not contacted Murong Qian for a long time...
During this period, he deliberately avoided meeting Murong Qian...
It wasn't that he didn't think of Murong Qian, but he was afraid of the awkwardness, unable to face it...
Now, why did she suddenly call him?
This is probably what they mean by avoiding the first but not the fifteenth.
"Uh, Sister Qian, what's up?"
Jiang Feng answered the call, asking with a dry laugh.
"Naughty boy, if sister didn't call you, would you never plan to contact her?"
Murong Qian said in a feigned grievance, yet Jiang Feng could detect the "killing aura" in her tone!
"No way, I've been busy these days, couldn't find the time, I was planning to contact you once I was free."
Jiang Feng had no resistance to this beautiful and charming sister, he said with a bitter smile.
"Hmph, sweet talker~ now, quickly come to the Southern City Hospital." Murong Qian said with a gentle snort on the other end.
"What's wrong?"
As far as he knew, wasn't Murong Qian the director of the City Center Hospital, why was she at the Southern City Hospital?
"It's because of the injured person you brought in last night."
Murong Qian said with irritation: "I've never seen anyone that severely injured! Southern City Hospital tried to save him overnight, but it had absolutely no effect, the person is still half-dead, so this morning they issued a call for help, inviting medical experts from hospitals across the city for a consultation—I just finished surgery."
"..."
Jing Wuming was injured that critically, which truly exceeded Jiang Feng's expectations.
This was in spite of Jiang Feng having transferred a streak of Devouring Sky Demon Qi to him, yet he was still in such a terrible state.
One could imagine, if Jiang Feng had left him to die, Jing Wuming would have probably reported to King Yama by now.
"How is he now?" Jiang Feng asked.
"His life is saved, I suppose, but it'll probably take at least a year or half to fully recover, isn't he your friend? Aren't you coming to see him?" Murong Qian asked curiously.
"Alright."
Jiang Feng thought for a moment, it wouldn't hurt to visit that unfortunate guy.
So he ended the call, took a detour, and headed to Southern City Hospital.
