Chapter 758 - Quite Strange
Chapter 758: Quite Strange
Jiang Feng was not a busybody.
However, if there was something that did not sit well with him, then he would need to do something about it.
For example, if there were two groups fighting, he would choose to ignore it since it had nothing to do with him, not to mention that he was not required to help.
But if a group of people was hitting a child, no one would be able to stand around and do nothing. Naturally, he would go help.
Just like right now. He saw a man beating a child, and the boy was already injured all over. Everyone around them simply stood by and watched. But he had the power to intervene, so he would naturally not stand by and watch like the others.
“How dare you, you little thief! How dare you steal my things! I’m going to kill you!” The one beating him was a hotel manager called Li Shangguang. He was very obese with a large head and big ears. He looked like he was quite oily.
He was hitting the boy with a broom in his hand.
“Please! Don’t hit me! I was just taking some leftovers! My siblings and I haven’t eaten for two days, please…” There was terror in the boy’s eyes as he begged for mercy.
When the surrounding onlookers saw what was happening, they could only let out a gasp. The little boy had just been smashed into a glass table outside of the establishment just now, and he was already quite bruised. There were also several cuts on him caused by the glass and they were still bleeding. With the boy’s weak body, if he continued hitting him, he was going to die.
Even the onlookers could not simply stand by anymore. They were just about to step in when they could feel something flash by. In the next moment, the broom in Li Shangguang’s hand had been caught by Jiang Feng.
“Boss, he’s just a kid. Is it alright to be so heavy-handed?” Jiang Feng caught the broom and asked Li Shangguang with a smile.
Li Shangguang said with a cold smile, “Who the hell are you? Aren’t thieves supposed to get hit? Should I just let a thief leave? Then what’s the point of having laws in this world? Not to mention, this is my issue! It’s none of your business!”
Jiang Feng smiled and said, “By that you mean you are the law? Then, why do we need the cops then? This is none of my business, true. But I don’t like what I see, so?!”
“You’re right!” The onlookers clapped their hands.
“Kid, you’re trying to fight for him then? Do you know whose hotel this is?”
“Whose?”
He wanted to know whose hotel would hire this kind of person as a manager.
“Listen well, this is the Sixth Greatest Family, the Ling family’s business! Are you afraid now?!” Li Shangguang said proudly.
Oh my goodness. It was his own father-in-law’s business.
Then, that was a slap on his face.
Originally, he wanted to see which family owned the business so he could go have a chat with them. But from the looks of it, there’s no need to have that chat. He still had some authority over managing his father-in-law’s business.
“Cough… Yeah, I’m quite afraid,” Jiang Feng coughed with awkwardness on his face.
When Li Shangguang heard what he said, he became even more gratified.
All the onlookers were disappointed at Jiang Feng, thinking that he was afraid of the Ling family.
But what Jiang Feng said next made many of them laugh out loud.
“While I’m a bit afraid, there’s still something that I need to tell you. You’re fired. From now on, no companies will be hiring you. You better have some survival skills. Otherwise, you would become a thief yourself. If that becomes true, congratulations! I heard that the meals in prison are quite bad!” Jiang Feng said it in a peaceful voice as he lit up a cigarette afterward.
Li Shangguang looked at him with a sneer, “Ho, who the hell are you? I am fired just because you say I am? Even the Ling family’s young master has no such authority!”
Jiang Feng did not say anything but simply took out his mobile and sent a message to Ling Yuntian.
In truth, Ling Feiyu was also managing a lot of the assets belonging to the Ling family. Therefore, sending her a message would just be as effective.
However, as his mother and mother-in-law felt that she should not use her mobile while she was pregnant, she was no longer carrying her mobile around. That was why he would send the message to Ling Yuntian.
Ring…
In just a few seconds, Li Shangguang’s mobile rang.
Li Shangguang was slightly shocked as he took out his mobile. He quickly answered it when he saw that it was his own cousin that was calling him, “Hello, Cousin? What?! Why are you firing me? Cousin… Cousin, don’t hang up! Tell me why, why…”
The other side had hung up. Li Shangguang looked at it for a moment before shifting his attention to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng had just told him that he would be fired. Then, in less than a minute, he was really fired. Only now did he realize that he had messed with the wrong person.
However, he did not want to lose this career. He had spent a lot of money to buy it from his cousin. Not only was the salary high, but he could also eat good food every day and even have deep discussions with the female attendants. It was the life that he had always wanted.
And when he realized that the life that he had always wanted was going to disappear, he quickly gave Jiang Feng a forced smile and said, “Boss, can you please don’t fire me? Please forgive me for what I did? Just treat me like a cockroach and ignore me.”
The sudden change caused everyone around them to watch in surprise.
Jiang Feng did not care about Li Shangguang. He walked over to the dirty and skinny boy and took out a low-level beast pill. He pinched a small portion from it and gave it to him.
In the next moment, the boy cried out as he clutched his stomach.
Very quickly, the wounds on the boy stopped bleeding and began to heal.
“The Divine Tea?!” The onlookers gasped in surprise when they saw what was happening to the boy.
The Divine Tea was the most expensive and popular item sold by the Ling family. Just one cup would cost up to ten thousand. Normal people could never afford it.
All of them began to feel envy when they thought that he might have eaten a small bit of the Divine Tea.
Once the boy’s wounds had healed, Jiang Feng then pointed at the ushers in front of the hotels and said, “You, pack some food and bring it to me.”
“Alright!”
The ushers have seen what Jiang Feng could do. They did not dare to go against his wishes and quickly ran back into the hotel.
To think that he could fire the manager of the hotel… They could not imagine just how much authority he had.
“Thank… Thank you. I… I don’t want it…” The little boy seemed to have been shocked by Jiang Feng as he looked away. He thanked him and then quickly ran into the crowd as if he was afraid of something.
“Hm?”
He knew that the little boy had some problems.
Earlier, he did mention something about “siblings.” He was willing to get beaten up to get some food. But now he had run away instead of taking the food. There must be something he was watching out for.
“Husband, why are you here?” Just when Jiang Feng was going to chase after the little boy, Ling Feiyu had appeared among the crowd.
When Jiang Feng heard her voice and raised his head, he then saw Ling Feiyu, his mother, and his mother-in-law watching him.
He turned around and then said to Ling Feiyu nervously, “Wife, go into the hotel first. I have something I need to deal with. I’ll tell you about it when I get back.”
“That boy. Seriously. Why is he still running around the moment he leaves the game instead of taking care of his wife,” his mother said.
“That’s right!” Li Ran said.
“Leiya, Xiaohai, protect Feiyu. If something happens to her, I promise that there’s no place for you to run!” Jiang Feng said as he hugged Ling Feiyu apologetically.
“Go. I will wait for you here. Let’s have a meal here later,” Ling Feiyu said with an understanding smile.
“Alright.” Jiang Feng nodded and he then quickly chased after the little boy.
