Chapter 1073 Awake
Chapter 1073 Awake
Brother Zheng and his men instantly stopped their quiet retreat.
Because they realized that Ling Feng was serious, not just trying to scare them!
"Who are you?" Brother Zheng cautiously asked.
"That’s none of your business. Now, I’ll give you a chance to leave without a beating. Tell me, what did Duan Zixuan say to you?" Ling Feng asked with a cold smile!
"Uh..."
Brother Zheng’s eyes darted around, thinking that a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. He hadn’t really done anything bad today, even though he had been a bit rash. If he cooperated honestly, surely nothing would happen!
With that in mind, he quickly said, "He called me and told me that the Wu Family was going to face trouble, so he asked me to bring people over to take advantage of the chaos and grab whatever valuable things we could!"
Everyone: "..."
Ling Feng was startled, then said with a bitter smile, "You’re not joking? He really said that to you?"
"You don’t believe me? I have the habit of recording calls, listen to the previous conversation and you’ll know!"
After saying that, Brother Zheng took out his phone, scrolled through it, and then started to play the recording!
The call lasted more than three minutes, but after just a few words, everyone was certain Duan Zixuan had indeed said that.
After listening, Ling Feng frowned and muttered to himself, "How did this guy know that the Wu Family was going to run into trouble?"
It was then that Wu Hua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sneered and said, "Of course he heard it from He Xi, those two are birds of a feather, none of them are good people!"
Ling Feng glanced at him, thinking he knew all too well that He Xi was actually in league with you!
However, he said nothing and just turned back to look at Brother Zheng and his men: "You all stand aside and don’t move a muscle!"
"Huh? Weren’t we allowed to leave?" Brother Zheng cautiously asked.
"Leaving is out of the question. You are also indirectly involved in today’s matter, so it’s better to wait for the police to come!" Ling Feng said with a cold laugh.
"Think you can rob the Wu Family and just walk away?"
Wu Dahai also sneered, immediately instructing his men, "Lock their car, keep a tight watch on them, and deal with anyone who tries to escape!"
"..."
Brother Zheng and his men were stunned and didn’t dare to move an inch.
None of them were fools; they were only after money and definitely didn’t want to end up beaten to a pulp like the others.
Wu Dahai then approached Ling Feng and said in a grave voice, "Mr. Ling, we owe you a debt of gratitude for today’s events. Otherwise, it would have been totally out of control by now!"
"Too polite, Elder Master. I just happened to notice a problem, that’s all!" said Ling Feng nonchalantly.
He was already tired of dealing with this mess and thought of notifying the security bureau to come over, then he planned to take Duan Feihong and leave.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Du Hao said, "Ling Feng, since you are involved in the affairs of the Wu Family, you might as well go all out and take a look at Wu Gang, the elder master?"
"Hm?"
Wu Dahai and the others were taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant.
Seeing the confused looks of everyone, Du Hao smiled and said, "The Divine Doctor I mentioned before is not one-tenth as capable as Ling Feng. This is the true Divine Doctor. With him here, Elder Master Wu Gang’s condition will surely be resolved!"
"Is that so?"
People were already regarding Ling Feng as a demigod, and now they were surprised to learn that in addition to his unmatched kung fu, he also possessed medical skills!
"Uncle, you’re overpraising me. I’m not that remarkable," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
He didn’t know why Du Hao suddenly wanted him to treat Wu Gang, but the look in Du Hao’s eyes told him there must be a very special reason for it.
After exchanging courteous remarks, Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, since everyone is here because of the old master’s illness, and we’ve almost been here for a day, I’ll give it a try. If I can cure him, then everyone can go home with peace of mind, right?"
"Exactly, Mr. Ling is right!"
"Mr. Ling is powerful, I believe you can definitely do it!"
"The health of Old Master Wu depends on you now!"
A chorus of flattering voices rose from the crowd, but only Wu Hua, standing to the side, flashed a look of uncertainty, seemingly lost in thought.
Thus, Ling Feng was escorted into the villa by a group of people and then proceeded to the second floor together.
With too many people, the sickroom couldn’t accommodate everyone, so only Ling Feng, Wu Dahai, and Du Hao followed inside.
After entering the room, Ling Feng glanced at Wu Gang’s complexion, noting the old man’s ruddy face, eyes closed slightly, looking as if he were asleep and without any signs of illness.
Approaching closely, Ling Feng took the old man’s wrist to feel his pulse and slightly furrowed his brow.
"How is it?" Wu Dahai asked with great anticipation.
"Odd, the old master’s health seems intact," Ling Feng remarked.
"How could that be? He was almost done for before, and it was only after using our Wu Family’s secret medicine that his condition improved. But he’s been unable to move due to blocked meridians!" said Wu Dahai.
Ling Feng, too, was baffled: "That’s really strange; I don’t detect anything abnormal!"
Just then, Wu Gang, who had been in a slumber, suddenly opened his eyes.
Wu Dahai’s eyes widened, almost letting out an exclamation.
Wu Gang placed a finger to his lips, gesturing for silence, then spoke in a low voice: "Don’t rush, let me explain slowly!"
Ling Feng glanced at Du Hao and saw him looking calm, as if not surprised at all, which piqued Ling Feng’s curiosity.
"Big brother, what exactly is going on?" Wu Dahai quickly asked.
"I was poisoned, but now it has been neutralized!" Wu Gang declared.
Thinking it over, Ling Feng immediately asked: "Does that mean Duan Zixuan was killed by the old master?"
"That kid wanted to steal my key; he deserved to die!"
After saying this, Wu Gang then addressed Ling Feng: "Mr. Ling, thank you for everything you’ve done for the Wu Family!"
"I haven’t done much, you’re too kind, sir!"
After speaking, Ling Feng continued to inquire: "What about He Xi’s death, does it have anything to do with you, sir?"
"No, that was Wu Hua’s doing," Wu Gang answered.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, thinking that the tide had turned. The young man had shaken off suspicion and earned Wu Dahai’s trust, but now it seemed his own grandfather had seen through him!
"Wu Hua is the mastermind behind all this. Everyone, don’t be anxious. My reluctance to awaken is because there’s still a key figure who hasn’t shown up, so I can’t get up yet!" Wu Gang explained.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng’s interest was piqued: "What? Does Wu Hua have someone backing him?"
"Exactly, he’s acting on someone else’s orders. Without exposing this person behind the scenes, we’ll never rid ourselves of this lingering threat!" Wu Gang affirmed.
"Big brother, what do we do next? Just keep waiting like this?"
With Wu Gang awake, Wu Dahai found his pillar of strength and eagerly sought advice.
Wu Gang chuckled coldly: "No need. I’ll pretend to have shown improvement after being ’treated’ by Mr. Ling and then ’regain consciousness’. Let’s see if Wu Hua and the person behind him start to panic!"
