Chapter 490: Solution
Chapter 490: Solution
Faced with Ling Feng’s interrogation, Lu Zixuan’s complexion grew even more embarrassed!
He had never expected to encounter Ling Feng here.
The Lu Family had already been informed about the issues with the Chu and Qiao Families; among the three major families, only the Lu Family had not had any dealings with Ling Feng.
Although they had sent a gift over last time, there had been no follow-up to get in touch or find a suitable opportunity to enhance the relationship between the two sides, and the Family Head was somewhat anxious about it.
As a result, now such an incident had occurred, and it was clear from Ling Feng’s attitude that his impression of the Lu Family was already extremely poor!
So at this moment, Lu Zixuan was somewhat flustered, and hurriedly tried to explain with a forced smile: "Mr. Ling, it’s really been a misunderstanding!"
"Sun Lei is the disciple of my second uncle, and he certainly did not know your identity, otherwise he wouldn’t have angered you!"
That old man—that is, Lu Zixuan’s second uncle, named Lu Liang—was the second-ranking individual in the Lu Family, only second to the Lu Family Head, Lu Fei.
He had heard of Ling Feng’s name as well but had never had the chance to meet him.
Just now, without thinking due to his disciple’s issue, he had spoken out to question, and now seeing Lu Zixuan’s respectful demeanor toward Ling Feng, he was instantly confused.
As for Sun Lei, he was even more bewildered than him, his face changing colors as he quietly asked, "Master, who is this Ling Feng exactly?"
"Don’t talk, just watch and see how things unfold!"
Lu Liang shot him a glare over his shoulder, then put on a strained smile and stepped forward, "So it’s Mr. Ling..."
Before he could finish his words, Ling Feng waved his hand to interrupt him: "No, I don’t deserve the honorific ’Mr.,’ didn’t you just now intend to kill me to avenge your disciple?"
With a single sentence, Lu Liang’s old face turned beet red, and he was suddenly at a loss for words!
If he had known earlier, he should have clarified identity before speaking!
At this point, the old man still hadn’t realized that the problem was him and his disciple being too arrogant as usual, instead, he merely regretted not having inquired about the identity.
It seemed the situation had reached a stalemate, so Lu Zixuan, seeing this, felt he had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Ling, what’s done is done. How about we let Sun Lei apologize to you?"
In fact, Ling Feng didn’t really have any confidence to begin with; it was seeing the people from the Lu Family treating him with such respect that he started to feel more assured.
According to his original expectation, people from the Lu Family should have turned against him because of Sun Lei’s actions.
If that were the case, they could have just had an open confrontation then and there.
But now that Lu Zixuan was being so polite, he guessed that a fight was unlikely to happen.
But he was determined to vent the resentment in his chest, so after a cold snicker, Ling Feng questioned, "If apologies worked, what would we need police for?"
"You two don’t be hasty, first let me explain what happened," Ling Feng said.
After he recounted the entire incident that had just taken place,
Lu Zixuan and Lu Liang’s expressions grew increasingly ugly, marred by extreme embarrassment.
After finishing his story, Ling Feng turned to look at Sun Lei, "In what I’ve just said, is there a single exaggerated detail?"
...
At this point, how could Sun Lei dare to say anything? So, he could only bow his head in silence.
Silence was the best answer; both Lu Zixuan and his uncle knew all too well that Sun Lei had indeed gone too far!
In this day and age, desiring someone’s daughter and bullying others with power to abduct a commoner girl, did they really think there was no law in this world?
Seeing how awkward both the elder and the younger were, Ling Feng smiled and continued, "I don’t want to make things difficult for you, nor am I the kind of person to bully others with power; I just want a fair resolution. My girlfriend couldn’t just be bullied for nothing, right?"
"Yes, yes, you’re right Mr. Ling!"
Lu Zixuan wiped the sweat from his brow, turned around, and glanced at Lu Liang, "Second Uncle, should we give my dad a call?"
"You make the call!"
Lu Liang didn’t object. This matter was not for him to decide alone, so it was better to let the Lu Family Head make the decision.
If his elder brother advocated peace, they would aim for reconciliation in handling the situation; but if he chose war, then they would fight tooth and nail against Ling Feng. There was nothing to fear!
Lu Zixuan wasn’t sure what his second uncle had in mind, but seeing him nod, he said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, please wait a moment. I will make a call to ask."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you!"
Xun Qianqian had already returned to Ling Feng’s side. It was only then that she had the chance to ask in a low voice, "What’s going on?"
"Don’t ask now, we’ll talk about it later!" Ling Feng said with an unconcerned and cheerful demeanor.
"Oh."
Xun Qianqian was puzzled, but she didn’t press further, simply touching the Illusionary Ring on her hand, thinking that if that old man started a fight, she would immediately teleport to the Nine Heavens and bring Wang Cai and Xiao Qiang over!
Lu Zixuan’s call lasted for over ten minutes, and just as Ling Feng was growing impatient, he finally hung up and walked back.
Looking at his darkened expression, a flicker of movement crossed Ling Feng’s mind.
"Seems like you’re ready to turn against me?"
Yet when Lu Zixuan came over, he went straight to Lu Liang’s ear and whispered a few words.
Immediately after, Lu Liang’s face changed dramatically!
Clearly, his inner turmoil was intense, and his hands even started to tremble slightly!
Moments later, Lu Liang exhaled a long breath and, without turning his head back, called out, "Sun Lei, come here!"
Seemingly having a hunch, Sun Lei’s face turned pale in an instant!
But as he couldn’t defy his teacher’s order, despite being afraid, he cautiously approached and asked softly, "Master..."
He had barely spoken two words when he saw Lu Liang’s hand move like lightning, striking him in the lower abdomen!
Taken by surprise, Sun Lei’s eyes widened in shock, and in the same moment, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!
Immediately after, he slumped to the ground, his face turning the color of wax!
"Mr. Ling, following the Family Head’s order, I have destroyed this boy’s Dantian. From now on, he will be a crippled person, living only with the help of medicine," Lu Liang said calmly, after beating Sun Lei.
Despite this, Ling Feng could sense that Lu Liang was forcibly containing his rage, evidently compelled to this decision by necessity.
Therefore, he smiled and said lightly, "Since it’s like this, then I won’t pursue the matter further. Leave some leeway, for we may meet again someday!"
After finishing, his tone shifted, "It’s good that he remains alive. Throughout his remaining years, he can reflect on his actions and thoroughly taste the bitter fruits he brewed himself!"
"Mr. Ling is right!"
Lu Liang nodded, lifting the barely breathing Sun Lei and taking him to the off-road vehicle.
Ling Feng knew Lu Liang was taking Sun Lei to be treated, so he didn’t say anything more, but turned his head to look at Lu Zixuan, "When will your Family Head have time?"
"Ah?"
Lu Zixuan was momentarily stunned, asking somewhat blankly, "What’s the matter?"
"It’s nothing. I think he’s a fairly upright person, at least his morals are quite proper. It would be nice to meet him if there’s a chance!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
