Chapter 581: The Old Hand
Chapter 581: The Old Hand
Lin Xue exhaled in relief, "He meant to stab you in a sneak attack with that knife!"
"I know, what are you so anxious about? Could these kinds of people even hurt me?" Ling Feng chuckled.
"Someone’s worried about you, that’s all!" Lin Xue said with feigned annoyance.
Ling Feng chuckled, then furrowed his brow, "What the hell is with these people, carrying knives around like it’s normal?"
"Not sure, but they’re definitely not good news. Should I call the police?" Lin Xue suggested.
"Fine, I hope they get taught a lesson, but I’m afraid they’ll be released a few days after being sent to the police station!" Ling Feng commented.
Lin Xue sighed, "But there’s nothing we can do. They haven’t done anything outrageous and haven’t caused serious consequences—can we really lock them up for life?"
Ling Feng also looked helpless and sighed, "Why can’t these people just vanish?"
When he heard rustling noises behind him, he turned around and saw that the woman was trying to escape with her child, so he said coldly, "If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t do something that foolish!"
The two halted in their tracks, not daring to move an inch.
They’d seen with their own eyes how the brawny man got kicked away just now and knew Ling Feng was not someone they could afford to mess with, so they only wanted to quickly get away from this troubled spot!
But how could Ling Feng possibly let them go?
After all, the whole ordeal was caused by these people. When the police arrived, they would need an explanation, wouldn’t they?
Turning his head to look at the remaining few, Ling Feng said coldly, "Stop playing dead, all of you. Get up, move over there, and squat with your hands on your head!"
The ruffians dared not disobey and quickly squatted by the roadside.
The red-haired one was still unconscious, so Ling Feng went over and woke him up, "You too!"
Without paying him any more attention, he then moved over to the brawny man, crouched down with a sneer, and said, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts..."
The brawny man was large and had taken the hardest fall. He felt as if he had broken several bones, so he lay on the ground unable to move.
Ling Feng chuckled, "Lucky it’s just you in pain. Otherwise, if you’d managed to stab me, then I’d be the one hurting now!"
Brawny man: "..."
"Is that boy your son?" Ling Feng continued.
"No, he’s her son. He’s got nothing to do with me."
Ling Feng asked, "Then what’s your relationship with that woman?"
"She’s my... lover," he admitted.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and thought, does this count as a noble rage for a beauty’s sake?
Seeing that the man couldn’t move, Ling Feng lost interest in him, stood up, and returned to Lin Xue’s side.
"Finished the call. This is the suburbs, so I believe Captain Zhang will be here shortly," Lin Xue said.
Ling Feng nodded without saying anything, thinking that it had only been a few days, yet he was about to see Zhang Jianhua again.
In the future, he might even see him frequently, since there would always be fools who didn’t know what courting death meant!
After a moment of silence, several car lights appeared from the direction of the county town. Very soon, three police cars arrived.
Zhang Jianhua stepped out of the car, took one look at the scene, and was taken aback, then he smiled at Ling Feng, "What happened here?"
"Encountered criminals on the road, they tried to knife me, but ended up ’killed’ by me instead," Ling Feng said with a smile.
Zhang Jianhua nodded, took a careful look at the people, recognized the brawny man and the one with the red hair, and angrily said, "It’s you guys again!"
"What? You know these guys, Captain Zhang?" Ling Feng asked.
"Infamous local thugs and bullies around the suburbs here, always causing trouble. Been caught several times!" Zhang Jianhua explained.
"Er, isn’t it bothersome to catch and release them over and over again?" Ling Feng asked with a wry smile.
"No other way, it’s all minor mischief that hasn’t caused serious consequences!" Zhang Jianhua said helplessly.
Ling Feng commented, "Do we really have to wait until they kill someone? I should’ve just let the kid stab me earlier."
"..."
Zhang Jianhua wore a bitter smile, "Brother, please stop teasing me. I know you’re upset, but this is the situation. They refuse to repent, and I’m powerless to change that!"
"Fine, then I’ll teach them a lesson myself!"
Ling Feng nodded, turned around, and approached the burly man and the redhead, "I heard you guys never learn your lesson? At worst, you’re just looking at a few days in detention, and then you come out as if nothing happened, right?"
The others exchanged looks, none daring to speak.
Being able to joke around with the leader of the public security team, Zhang, this guy was clearly not an ordinary person!
They knew they had hit a wall, so how could they dare to speak?
Ling Feng wasn’t ready to let it go and fixed his gaze on the redhead, "You, what’s your name?"
"Jia Ping’an."
Ling Feng was taken aback, then cursed jokingly, "You, with that name, you’re still causing trouble?"
After a pause, he continued to ask, "Tell me, what do you plan to do after you get out?"
"I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a better person!"
Jia Ping’an rattled off the line smoothly, immediately putting on a sincere face.
Ling Feng was speechless, the guy was young but an old hand at this!
Who knows how many times he had been in detention, he didn’t even have to think before answering.
Seeing this, aware that such a promise was worthless, Ling Feng didn’t want to waste any more words.
He stood up, turned his head to look at the customized Ghost Fire Motorcycles, and snickered, "Almost forgot about these toys!"
Then turned back to the redhead and the others, "Riding around on these, making a spectacle of yourselves, it feels great, huh?"
The crowd’s eyes went blank, unsure of his meaning.
But they understood soon enough!
The redhead and the others watched helplessly as Ling Feng lifted his leg and with a few kicks turned the motorcycles into scrap metal!
Most people on the scene were stunned.
That was solid metal, and just with his bare feet, he smashed it flat?
What kind of strength was that?
If such force had been used on them earlier, they’d probably be dead by now!
Only now did this group start to feel fear, with several of them trembling slightly, nearly wetting themselves.
Zhang Jianhua was somewhat helpless. By the book, this act was completely illegal. When people commit crimes, you arrest them; if a vehicle is illegally modified, you impound it. But smashing it directly, what was that?
But knowing that Ling Feng was a military man, he had no authority over him.
So, he could only watch, powerless to intervene.
After all the motorcycles had been kicked into junk, Ling Feng had vented enough and, taking a deep breath, he said to Zhang Jianhua, "Sorry about that, Captain Zhang."
"..."
Zhang Jianhua didn’t know what to say, he turned to his colleagues and signaled with his eyes, ready to take the people away!
"What are you doing? Let go of my son, I want to go home, I’m not going anywhere!"
Unexpectedly, just then, the shrewish woman found her energy and started to struggle violently!
"Please cooperate with the investigation!" Zhang Jianhua said coldly.
"You have no right over my son; he’s underage, still a child!" the woman yelled!
"That’s even more reason for cooperation. As a parent, you’ve failed to discipline him properly. Such a young child wielding a knife and committing violence, you are responsible!" Zhang Jianhua declared sternly.
"If you can, kill me then; I won’t go. Help, molestation!" the woman struggled and shouted.
At that moment, a row of lights lit up in the distance, seemingly a convoy coming from the direction of the county town.
The woman’s spirits surged, thinking it was best to make a bigger scene with more people around. So, she started screaming at the top of her lungs!
