Chapter 137 I’ll Make a Call First

"Zhou Yang, if you want to bring down Liu Jilong, do you have any good ideas?" After pondering for a long time, Lin Feng couldn’t come up with any effective strategies, so he turned to Zhou Yang with his question. After all, Zhou Yang was an insider in the system who knew a lot more about these matters than he did. Just a hint of direction might be enough to find a way.

"Well, to take down Liu Jilong, besides evidence, you absolutely need support from someone high up, and the higher the rank the better. Ideally, someone from the central government, that would give us a solid chance. If that’s not feasible, we must at least have someone with real power in the city to step in, otherwise, there’s no holding down Liu Jilong. The Liu Family’s background isn’t for show," Zhou Yang replied, startled by Lin Feng’s question. It seemed his earlier guess was right on the mark—Lin Feng was indeed planning to make a move against Liu Jilong to eliminate this thorny issue once and for all!

The relationships Liu Jilong had in Tianhai City were too intricate. Without the intervention of a well-connected power player, no one could touch him. He had been the head of the police bureau for so many years, which spoke volumes. Even during his years at the Tianhai Police Bureau, he had seen too much, but he didn’t want to stir things up more than necessary, so he had not acted, fully aware that as a rootless deputy director, even if he wanted to make a fuss, he wouldn’t have the standing to do so. That’s why he had been biding his time until now.

But Lin Feng was Brother Wang’s junior, and on top of that, he had such terrifying skills. He and Zhou Yang were fundamentally different. Zhou Yang’s inability to topple Liu Jilong did not imply that Lin Feng couldn’t. Perhaps Lin Feng really had a way to do it, and then the situation could take a turn for the better.

"A figure with real power in the city?" Lin Feng started to consider who that might be and immediately thought of Mayor Leng. He felt that Mayor Leng should be a righteous person who would deal with these matters. Besides, he owed Lin Feng a favor, so he probably wouldn’t refuse him.

"I’ll make a phone call." After saying this, Lin Feng took out his cell phone, found Leng Mei’s number, and dialed it to ask for Mayor Leng’s phone number.

"Leng Mei, could you tell me your father’s phone number?" Lin Feng asked as soon as the call connected. He was straightforward because the matter here was urgent and could not be delayed.

"My father? What do you need from him? Where are you now?" Leng Mei felt very surprised. Lin Feng was proactively calling her to ask for her father’s number—what kind of situation had arisen that required her father’s intervention?

Lin Feng usually never asked anyone for anything, and today’s situation was highly irregular. It must be something serious for him to reach out. But what could it be that had him so anxious?

"I’m currently at the military region’s general hospital emergency department. A relative of mine got into some trouble, and I’d like to ask your father to help resolve the situation," Lin Feng explained briefly.

"Oh, my dad’s number is 139********. You can call him directly; he always carries his phone, and very few people know his number." When Leng Mei heard Lin Feng mention the emergency department, she realized there must indeed be a serious issue and promptly gave Lin Feng her father’s number. Putting aside everything else, her grandfather’s life had been saved by Lin Feng, so her father would definitely help Lin Feng if he asked. The main thing was that nothing should happen to Lin Feng!

"Alright," Lin Feng said and promptly hung up the call.

Zhou Yang, who was listening by the side, became even more perplexed. Who was this girl named Leng Mei on the phone? She talked about asking her father to sort things out. People with the last name Leng weren’t common nationwide, and there were even fewer well-known figures with any background. The only person with any power in Tianhai City with the surname Leng seemed to be Mayor Leng. Could it be that Lin Feng was talking about Mayor Leng?

The more Zhou Yang thought about it, the more likely it seemed because that was the only explanation that made sense. There weren’t many people surnamed Leng, except for Mayor Leng...

"Hello, Mayor Leng? This is Lin Feng," Lin Feng said as he dialed Leng Junsheng’s number and greeted him.

"Lin Feng, what can I do for you?" Leng Junsheng was also surprised to receive a call from Lin Feng. However, he quickly surmised that the number must have been given by his daughter. Yet he hadn’t expected Lin Feng to ask for his help so soon. Typically, Lin Feng wouldn’t easily ask for help, and with his extraordinary medical skills, he shouldn’t have any issue that would require asking others for assistance.

So why would he be contacting me, and what could possibly necessitate my intervention?

"It’s like this: a relative of mine was beaten up and has just been resuscitated at the hospital. However, the person who beat him has already called the police and accused my relative of intentional bodily injury, intending to forcefully take him to the police station. He’s barely alive as it is, and if they take him away, he might not survive!" Lin Feng briefly summarized Lin Dongchen’s situation. He needed Leng Junsheng’s assistance, so telling the truth was crucial for a proper judgment of the matter.

"The assailant must be someone with a bit of clout, right?" Leng Junsheng surmised from Lin Feng’s explanation. It must be someone in Tianhai City who had created a situation that had spiraled out of control, because for something so straightforward, Lin Feng certainly would not have called him.

"Yes, the assailant is indeed complicated. His name is Liu Nan, and his father is the police chief Liu Jilong," Lin Feng said earnestly, mentioning the father and son, while also pondering how to deal with them.

"Oh, I see, come to my office for a meeting in an hour," Leng Junsheng said after hearing about Liu Jilong and his son from Lin Feng. His heart was also in turmoil; why did this father and son always cause trouble, and this time they had even involved Lin Feng...

"Alright, see you in an hour!" Lin Feng hung up the phone and began to think about how to discuss Liu Jilong and his son with Leng Junsheng and how to help Zhou Yang rise to power...

"Is it really Mayor Leng?" Zhou Yang truly couldn’t believe his ears. Everyone knew Mayor Leng -- an upright mayor with a good reputation throughout Tianhai City. The problem was, Lin Feng was a teacher, unlikely to know Mayor Leng; there was simply no intersection between the two men!

Could it be because of Leng Mei, whom he had just called?

That’s right, Lin Feng must know her daughter. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for him to connect with Mayor Leng. But even if he knew Mayor Leng’s daughter, it was unlikely that the mayor himself would intervene. That would require a significant favor. And Mayor Leng wouldn’t step in over just any friend of his daughter! So, why could Lin Feng ask for the help of someone like Mayor Leng?

"Yes, it’s him; we’ll go to his office for a meeting in an hour." Lin Feng hung up the phone and gave a short answer to the somewhat stunned Zhou Yang before returning to his contemplations about what to do next.

"A meeting in an hour? But what about the hospital situation? What if that Liu Nan comes looking for trouble again when we’re gone?" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhou Yang immediately thought of Lin Dongchen and his family, who were all in the emergency department. It would be terrible if something happened while he and Lin Feng were away!

It was odd that Lin Feng had settled on a meeting with Mayor Leng after just a few sentences on the phone; such a thing was highly unusual unless one was a close relative or owed a big favor. Mayor Leng, being so busy, wouldn’t meet with just anyone at the drop of a hat. An ordinary person could hardly expect to meet the mayor, yet Lin Feng arranged it with one call, and the meeting was set for just an hour later. This suggested that Lin Feng’s relationship with Mayor Leng was far from simple; a casual acquaintance could not secure a meeting so swiftly.

"I’ll figure out a solution," Lin Feng replied, having not anticipated this issue. After a moment’s thought, he decided to call Leng Mei. As Mayor Leng’s daughter, her presence would likely prevent Liu Nan from causing any trouble there.

"Leng Mei, where are you?" Lin Feng dialed Leng Mei’s number again, inquiring about her location.

"Lin Feng? I’m here with Grandpa; what’s up?" Leng Mei felt it strange to receive another call from Lin Feng so soon after asking for her dad’s number; was there something else?

"Can you come to the emergency department?" Lin Feng asked.

"Alright, I’ll be there in a bit," Leng Mei replied and hung up the phone after saying goodbye to her grandfather. She then headed to the emergency department since she knew Lin Feng was not one to joke; if he said there was an issue, there was an issue. And him calling her meant he trusted her; it was better to hurry and see what the matter was.

"She’ll be here soon; then we can rush over," Lin Feng, reassured by Leng Mei’s affirmative response, felt more at ease about Lin Dongchen’s situation and started mentally preparing for his conversation with Leng Junsheng.

Zhou Yang remained silent, wide-eyed as he watched Lin Feng, his mind in turmoil. What exactly was the relationship between Lin Feng and Mayor Leng’s family? One call to set up a direct meeting with the mayor, and another to have the mayor’s daughter come over—this was baffling, something that seemed impossible yet was happening right before his eyes!

More importantly, how Lin Feng spoke to Mayor Leng and Leng Mei. He communicated on completely equal terms. What was Lin Feng’s identity to speak with the mayor and his daughter with such equality and to have them both agree so readily? Did Lin Feng have some other status or connection that Zhou Yang was unaware of?

No doubt he did, or else there was no way to explain all this. So what exactly was Lin Feng’s other identity?

As Zhou Yang pondered, he stood there lost in thought, his mind consumed by Lin Feng’s affairs.

After a while, Leng Mei arrived at the emergency department and immediately spotted Lin Feng and an older policeman standing nearby. Feeling a bit puzzled about why Lin Feng was with a policeman, she slowly approached him.
