Chapter 936: Chapter 919: Start with a 100,000-Yuan Lesson

Yue Feng glanced at the incoming call display, seeing it was the same number from not long ago, deliberately pressed mute, and tossed it onto the table, continuing to eat and drink with Zhao Zheng.

Less than a minute later, the phone rang again. Yue Feng glanced at it, muted it again, and tossed it aside.

Zhao Zheng glanced at Yue Feng, “Isn’t it that person’s call again? Why aren’t you answering?”

Yue Feng casually grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands and said, “Let him wait a bit to realize the seriousness of the problem! Otherwise, he’ll keep rambling without getting to the point! We’re not in a hurry now! Raising such a foolish son, when trouble arises, one should have the awareness to deal with it!”

In the short time that followed, the phone rang three more times, but Yue Feng didn’t answer.

After a pause of about five minutes, another unfamiliar local number called.

This time, Yue Feng exchanged glances with Zhao Zheng, answered the phone after more than ten rings.

“Hello, who’s speaking?”

“Mr. Yue, it’s me, Gao Bingyi! Earlier, I called that troublemaker son of mine to get things clear, I truly apologize!

I didn’t expect him to have the guts to provoke anyone! Please, forgive him this once! I’ll take full responsibility for the harm caused to your friend, is that alright?”

Yue Feng: “I don’t need money, I just want to know who’s behind this! Tell me, and we can discuss compensation later. If you can’t tell me, I won’t want compensation! Our company may not be big, but we have millions in annual revenue, we’re not short on medical bills!”

“This…” When asked about the mastermind, Gao’s father hesitated.

Gao Wencheng, the troublesome son, is oblivious to the impending disaster. Initially, Gao’s father called him for a long time but couldn’t get him to talk. The old man spun some nonsense to deceive him and finally managed to get a name.

As a cunning adult, he knows the weight of this name and the consequences of revealing it. Yue Feng can arrange for Gao Wencheng to end up in a detention center, the final outcome for the one behind all this will only be more severe.

“What’s the matter? Inconvenient to say? Then forget it, I won’t ask anymore!” Yue Feng threw down a cold remark and hung up directly.

Ten seconds hadn’t passed before the call came in again. Yue Feng answered.

“Alright, I’ll say! If I tell you, can this matter be smoothed over? We’re all grown men, we shouldn’t break promises!”

Yue Feng squinted and said, “Are you making a deal with me?”

“No… No, don’t hang up! I’ll say, the one who instigated my son is Zhu Lin! Seems he’s a signed angler at Tianyuan Youth Training Team!

He tricked my son claiming that he was dealt with in the competition by you guys, especially that young angler named Wang Xiaomin, who stood out!

He claimed that if my son helped him settle scores, he could negotiate with the captain to breach the rules, and let my son into the backup team to learn fishing! My son didn’t think much, got heated from drinking, and agreed, which led to the mess of hiring people!”

“Tianyuan Youth Training Team, Zhu Lin?” Yue Feng repeatedly muttered the name.

Yue Feng had some impression of this name; Zhu Lin was merely a young rookie at Tianyuan,

to be blunt, being assigned to the youth training team already defined the level of skill for these players, Zhu Lin competing was all a stroke of luck, yet he’s recommending others to join the team to learn fishing,

this was plainly nonsense and deceptive rhetoric, if the club were so easily joined, it would’ve been packed with all sorts of connections long ago.

“Yes, it’s him! My son may be arrogant, but he has no real grudge with your team, he was just deceived by him, acted foolishly for a moment, that’s why he caused major trouble!

My son was just being used, debts have owners and grievances have points, please be magnanimous and spare him, I will strictly discipline him when he’s back, he will definitely never bother anyone of you again!”

Towards the end, Gao’s father’s tone almost sounded pleading. Locally, he was considered a man of some standing; at this point, he was frankly lowering his pride.

Yue Feng had already planned things out and said, “Seeing your attitude is sincere enough, I won’t pursue this to the end! Drunk driving, he must go to the detention center to learn his lesson! As for hiring someone to cause harm, I won’t pursue that!”

“This…”

“What? Not satisfied with this result? You think money can solve all problems? Knowing he was manipulated, I loosened my stance; if he was the main plotter, do you think it could end this way?”

“Then the compensation…”

“Forget the compensation, I’m not short on money! Keep your son on a tight rein, you can protect him for a while, not a lifetime! Some people, he simply cannot afford to offend!”

“Alright, then I thank you on his behalf! Having him spend a few days inside is also a good thing, keeps him from causing trouble outside all the time!”

“That’s it for now, hanging up!”

After finishing the last words, Yue Feng hung up the call.

“That’s it? You’re not squeezing him for tens of thousands? Xiaomin’s still lying in the hospital!” After hanging up, Zhao Zheng looked at Yue Feng, incredulous.

Yue Feng shook his head, “I don’t need money, nor do I want to take it! Getting compensated for being beaten, I can’t bear that kind of reputation!”

“And you…”

“Simple, the way they hit us, we’ll hit back! We won’t escalate matters, just within the tens of thousands!”

“Damn, the way you say it gets my blood boiling, like those schoolyard brawls! What’s your plan? Count me in!”

Yue Feng chuckled, “Cool off for a few days; handle it when Xiaomin is discharged! Isn’t it just Tianyuan Youth Training Team? After hitting someone from us, debts have owners, let them wait then!”

…

A well-intentioned victory celebration was completely undone; Wang Xiaomin was kept in the hospital for observation overnight. After confirming no major issues, discharged the next morning after completing the infusion.

Yue Feng personally took Xiaomin to bid farewell to Elder Hua; Xiaomin’s arm was in a cast, and there were cuts on his face and head, looking quite miserable.

The old man was rather concerned, inquiring about the entire situation, but Yue Feng didn’t mention anything about Tianyuan, simply saying the one who hired people to harm others got caught for drunk driving and it ended there.

The old man doubted nothing else, didn’t ask further, just urged them to recuperate well to strive for a speedy recovery.

Originally winning the Champion’s title, the team’s mood was quite good, but Wang Xiaomin’s injury greatly affected morale.

Upon returning to the club, they took a customary two-day break to recover, and as for Wang Xiaomin, he was checked again at the local hospital, confirmed alright and continued recuperating.

Initially, upon returning, Yue Feng intended to ask Han Luofeng to assist in arranging the sparring contest, but Wang Xiaomin’s injury naturally postponed this.

With this delay, half a month passed.

All seemed to have passed with the storm, calm and smooth, yet undercurrents were moving in hidden corners.
