Chapter 1380: Xie Family
Chapter 1380: Xie Family
Hearing the commotion, Ling Feng immediately expanded his Divine Sense to scan the outside.
He saw an old man, carrying a load, lying on the ground being beaten by several young thugs!
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng frowned, stood up immediately, and walked out of the restaurant.
The young thugs were yelling, kicking the old man a few times, while the old man did not dare to say much, lying on the ground with a face full of fear, pleading for them to let him go.
Ling Feng approached and quickly understood the situation.
The young thugs bumped against the old man as they passed by, and his load inadvertently scratched them, causing these people to become enraged.
At this time, a pale-faced young man, the leader, said, "Old fool, you walk without watching where you’re going. Lucky you didn’t tear my pants, or you couldn’t afford even your coffin with your savings!"
"I’m sorry, so sorry, it wasn’t intentional," the old man apologized repeatedly, cowering.
"Sorry is enough? Quickly kneel to Master Xie!" another young thug shouted.
"Ah?"
The old man was bewildered. There were already many onlookers around. For him, at such an age, to kneel before a young man in front of so many people was too humiliating!
"You refuse to kneel? Fine, these pants cost me thirty-six hundred; although they’re not torn, you’ve left a mark. You need to compensate!" said the pale-faced young man.
"I..."
The old man looked troubled. To him, more than three thousand was clearly a huge sum!
"Do you pay or not?"
The young flunky aiding Master Xie lifted his leg and was about to kick!
As he raised his foot, he was suddenly pulled back powerfully from behind, staggering and almost falling to the ground!
The young thugs turned back and saw Ling Feng frowning at them.
"Who are you, kid, daring to tug me?" the young thug asked.
Ling Feng glanced at him and said, "Don’t you have parents?"
"Damn, you’re seeking death!"
His words enraged the young thug, who swung a fist at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng didn’t dodge and took the punch, then sneered, looking at the people around: "Everyone saw, it was this kid who moved first!"
As the words fell, he swung a slap that sent the thug spinning a full seven hundred and twenty degrees before crashing to the ground!
The crowd: "..."
This scene unfolded too suddenly, leaving everyone stunned.
The young thug known as Master Xie furrowed his brow and looked at Ling Feng: "Who are you?"
"A passerby!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, looking into his eyes: "A scratch on your pants for over three thousand yuan, then how about those few kicks you gave the old man earlier? How do you account for that?"
"...."
Master Xie didn’t answer but instead stared at Ling Feng: "You don’t know who I am?"
"Who you are has nothing to do with this matter, it’s not an excuse for your domineering behavior!" Ling Feng said.
"Fine, fine!"
Master Xie sneered and then asked, "Can you tell me your name, where you live?"
"Tell me how you’ll compensate the old man first, and maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll tell you," Ling Feng said calmly.
"No problem!"
Master Xie nodded, took out his wallet, and, without looking, pulled out all the cash inside, a thick stack, and threw it at the old man.
The old man was dumbfounded. It was at least five or six thousand yuan!
"This is for those kicks. Now, take the money and leave. It’s none of your business anymore!" Master Xie said coldly.
"This..."
The old man didn’t dare move, cautiously glancing at Ling Feng.
"Don’t be afraid, sir. Take the money and leave. This matter is no longer related to you. Leave the rest to me!" Ling Feng stepped forward, helped him up, and stuffed the money into his pocket.
"Thank you, thank you."
The old man was so emotional he didn’t know what to say, his eyes reddening.
"Hey, now can you tell me?"
Master Xie’s sinister grin lazily examined Ling Feng and asked coldly.
Ling Feng nodded: "I’m called Ling Feng, temporarily staying in Wan Yuan Village in Tian Shui Township. If you want to find me, you can go there!"
"Good, I figured you weren’t an ordinary person. But it doesn’t matter, we can’t handle you, but some people can. You just wait!"
Master Xie gave Ling Feng a bleak look and walked away.
Watching his back, Ling Feng rolled his eyes!
This kid was quite clever. After seeing how easily Ling Feng slapped his companion down, he didn’t dare act arrogantly again.
But he also mentioned that his family had powerful people, indicating this matter wasn’t over.
Of course, Ling Feng wasn’t afraid of this, inwardly curious about what sort of people the Xie family could bring!
Turning back, the old man had already picked up his load and left, and the onlookers dispersed as well. Ling Feng and Mu Lingling returned to the restaurant.
The owner served the food, hesitating for a moment before saying: "Sir, is the address you mentioned just now your real one?"
He too had gone out to watch, having seen everything unfold outside.
"Yes, why?" Ling Feng nodded and asked.
"Well, I wanted to remind you, the Xie family wields great power here, and that Master Xie holds grudges. How dare you provoke even him!" The restaurant owner said with a worried expression.
Ling Feng chuckled, glancing at him: "Really? What does the Xie family do?"
"How could you not know this?"
The restaurant owner was somewhat speechless, then said, "In recent years, the Xie family has become famous in Qingyang. In a short time, they went from being mere restaurant owners to the richest family in Qingyang, all thanks to their eldest son. He is not an ordinary person!"
"Really? How is he not ordinary?" Ling Feng asked, smiling.
The restaurant owner glanced at the entrance, lowered his voice, and said: "Rumor has it that the Xie family’s eldest son is capable of extraordinary feats, flying about effortlessly. Someone claimed to have seen him chase down a car using only his legs, and others say they saw him punch a car into scraps!"
"Oh, so just someone with a bit more strength and speed," Ling Feng remarked nonchalantly.
The restaurant owner was speechless again, glancing at Ling Feng: "Well, I’ve warned you, take care of yourself."
"Thank you, boss!"
Ling Feng smiled, nodded, then turned to Mu Lingling: "Hurry and eat. We have to go back after the meal!"
"Okay!"
Mu Lingling nodded, and they both immediately started having lunch.
After the meal, Ling Feng drove away from Qingyang, returning to Wan Yuan Village.
During the afternoon, he prepared the medicine and administered it to the injured villagers.
Ling Feng’s medical skills were remarkable; after administering the medicine, the mildly ill quickly recovered, and those seriously ill saw immediate improvement, fully recovering after a few days of rest.
After handling these matters, in the eyes of the villagers of Wan Yuan Village, Ling Feng was nothing short of a deity.
They all invited him to their homes for dinner, wanting to express their gratitude!
But before Ling Feng could agree, a black car arrived at the village entrance, from which a young man in his twenties stepped out.
