Jing Zhe was impressed by Master Feng's patience.
If an ordinary person were greeted like that by him, they would be furious even if they didn't lash out. You know, even Bai Qingyuan, who was the Grand Tutor, was often driven to the brink of madness by Jing Zhe. But Master Feng remained calm and showed no sign of anger. It seems there's a reason why he's lived to such an old age.
At this moment, Master Feng spoke again: "I wonder what brings President Jing to visit us so suddenly?"
"It's nothing serious. I had heard of Master Feng before I came to Jiangling, so I've always wanted to pay him a visit. I just happened to have some free time today, so I came over to thank him for agreeing to sell the Feng Family Restaurant to me."
Jing Zhe said with a smile.
"President Jing bought the restaurant to open a branch of the Da'an Newspaper, and I sold the restaurant to support President Jing. In the end, we are both doing this for His Majesty, so President Jing doesn't need to thank me."
"Hehe, Master Feng, you are indeed magnanimous for your age! Such a broad mind is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
Jing Zhe sighed.
"Let me in! Let me in!"
At this moment, a commotion arose outside the door, and then Feng Mubai, with a lecherous look on his face, rushed in despite being blocked by the servants.
"You've got some nerve, you actually dared to come?"
Feng Mubai glared at Jing Zhe, gritting his teeth.
"Hey, who is this guy with the pig's head? How dare he speak to me like that? Do you believe I'll execute you on the spot?"
"..."
Feng Mubai was a little stunned. Seeing that things were not going well, Feng the wealthy man immediately stepped forward and slapped Feng Mubai: "You unfilial son, how dare you speak to President Jing like that?"
After finishing the fight, he said to Jing Zhe, "You rebellious son is stupid. President Jing, don't take it to heart."
It may seem like he hit Feng Mubai, but he was actually protecting him. After all, Feng Mubai is a ruthless killer, and one cannot be deceived by his appearance. If Feng Mubai really angers him, he won't even know how he died.
Madam Feng also stepped forward and pulled Feng Mubai back from behind to prevent him from getting carried away.
Jing Zhe feigned surprise: "What? This pig-headed fellow is actually Young Master Feng Mubai? No way? I remember that although Young Master Feng wasn't particularly handsome, he at least looked like a human being, but this pig-headed fellow..."
"President Jing, you may not know this, but my unfilial son is playful and tripped and fell outside yesterday, hitting his face, which is why he's like this..."
"Oh, is that so? I was wondering how the Feng family, which is considered a prominent family in Jiangling, could produce such a pig-headed person!"
"..."
Jing Zhe was doing it on purpose, constantly using the word "pig head," which was really infuriating, but Master Feng dared not say anything in his anger.
But Feng Mubai clearly couldn't accept it. He had just been beaten up by Jing Zhe last night, and when he came back this morning, his father scolded and beat him again. Now he had been slapped again. How could he bear to hear Jing Zhe's taunts?
At this moment, Feng Mubai was so enraged that he lost all sense of reason. He cursed at the wealthy Feng, "You surnamed Jing, what are you pretending for? Don't you know better than anyone how my face turned out like this? You dare to do it but not admit it, are you even a man?"
"You unfilial son, shut up!"
Master Feng was furious. How could someone be so brainless? He had finally come up with an excuse, and now he was back again with just one sentence.
"Master Feng, don't stop him, let him speak!"
"Fine, I'll say it. Do you think I'm afraid?"
Feng Mubai broke free from Madam Feng's grasp and sneered, "Last night you took advantage of the darkness to beat me up in the alley. Is that the behavior of a gentleman? You dare not admit that you beat me up, and now you come here pretending you don't know anything? Aren't you disgusting?"
"You're saying I hit you? Where's the proof?"
Jing Zhe asked.
"Heh, it was so dark last night, and you deliberately chose a secluded place to make your move. Besides you and me, heaven and earth know, who else would know? But you should know very well in your heart!"
"So you're saying you have no evidence?"
"..."
Feng Mubai was furious. If I had evidence, I would have reported it to the authorities directly. Why would I waste my breath talking to you here?
Jing Zhe continued, "Don't make things up without evidence. For example, I think you don't resemble Master Feng at all, but you look about seven or eight parts like Xu Wenchang. Does that mean I can say you are Xu Wenchang's illegitimate son? No, because I have no evidence, right?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned, especially Madam Feng, whose heart was pounding so hard that they didn't even notice that Jing Zhe's way of addressing Prefect Xu had already changed.
"Ahem, President Jing, you shouldn't say things like that so casually..."
Master Feng's face turned ashen, and he was somewhat displeased.
"That's right, so I don't usually say much about it outside. It just happened in the heat of the moment, I was just giving an example! You see, Master Feng got upset just from giving an example, and your son keeps making baseless accusations. How can I be happy?"
After hearing this, Master Feng could only turn around and glare fiercely at Feng Mubai, saying, "If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll smash your mouth."
But Feng Mubai was already enraged and didn't care about anything else. He yelled again, "You surnamed Jing, besides dodging the question, how dare you answer me directly? You were the one who hit me last night. If you have the guts, prove it wasn't you!"
"..."
Jing Zhe almost laughed out of anger. He was about to retort when he suddenly changed his mind: "Logically speaking, whoever has the suspicion should provide evidence, but I'll grant your request this time."
Then he said to Master Feng, "Send someone to Feng's Restaurant to fetch Manager Lin."
"President Jing, what brings you here?"
"Are you deaf or not smart enough? I told you to look for it, so go find it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"..."
Jing Zhe had been too polite earlier, which made Master Feng think he was easy to talk to. Now that he was suddenly so rude, Master Feng realized: This is a ruthless killer, how can we expect him to speak nicely?
Moreover, he dared not ask any more questions now, so he quickly ordered his servants to go to Feng's Restaurant to call Manager Lin.
Soon after, Manager Lin arrived.
Suddenly summoned here and seeing Jing Zhe there, and with the tense atmosphere in the front hall, Manager Lin was a little scared.
"Manager Lin, where did I eat yesterday?"
"At Feng's Restaurant..."
"Then where did I sleep?"
"At Feng's Restaurant..."
"Very well, then let me ask you again, when did I go to the restaurant yesterday, and when did I leave? Did I go out in between?"
Manager Lin glanced at Madam Feng, then at Master Feng, but couldn't discern anything from their expressions. So he simply stated the facts: "President Jing arrived before 5 PM yesterday and didn't leave until after 7 AM this morning. He didn't leave during that time."
"..."
