Feng Mubai is a true villain, and Jing Zhe has seen it for himself.
Originally, Jing Zhe only intended to make a fuss about him in the newspaper, but after hearing his various dirty tricks, he suddenly changed his mind.
We need to do it in the newspapers, and we need to do it even more in real life!
Returning to his seat, looking out at the gradually darkening streets and the occasional crowds of people, Jing Zhe had an idea.
Meanwhile, the people next door were unaware of the impending danger and continued chatting and laughing.
As time went by, the guests at Feng Family Restaurant gradually left, leaving the first-floor hall empty and the guests in the second-floor private rooms mostly gone, with only Jing Zhe and the two rooms next door still lit up.
By this time, Feng Mubai and the others had drunk quite a bit. "Gentlemen, you don't need to go back tonight. Just sleep here!"
"Is this alright, Brother Feng?"
While asking "Is it okay?", she had already decided to stay.
"It's our own restaurant, what's so great or bad about it? Just stay here!"
As soon as Feng Mu finished speaking, another round of flattery ensued.
"Hey, Brother Feng, what are you doing? Weren't you planning to stay here?"
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they didn't want to go home. But when they saw Feng Mubai get up and pack up, looking like he was about to leave, they quickly asked him what was wrong.
"Gentlemen, please feel free to stay here. However, I need to go back tonight, otherwise my father will probably start nagging again."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and said things like, "Master Feng's family is very strict." Feng Mubai exchanged a few more polite words and then left.
In reality, it wasn't that Master Feng was talking about it, but rather that Feng Mubai seemed to know about his mother's romantic affairs over the years. So, although the Feng Family Restaurant belonged to his family, he didn't come there very often.
He would always come to Feng's Restaurant after his mother had gone home, and then go back home when she came to the restaurant again.
So he chose to go home because he was afraid that if he overslept the next day, his mother would see him at the restaurant.
A man strolled out of the restaurant, declined Manager Lin's offer to see him off, and walked into the alleyway.
At that moment, Jing Zhe locked the door from the inside and then jumped out of the window into the darkness.
Tonight, the clouds have completely obscured the moon, and the alleyways are pitch black without any lights.
Feng Mu had drunk quite a bit, and he was walking unsteadily.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him.
"who?"
Feng Mubai jolted awake and immediately turned around, sobering up considerably.
But the alley was too dark, and when he turned around, he could only see a figure, not a face.
However, in the pitch black, a person suddenly appeared from nowhere. Feng Mubai sensed that the newcomer was up to no good and was worried that the person would attack him, so Feng Mubai quickly spoke up.
"I am Feng Mubai of the Feng family. May I ask who you are?"
Feng Mubai was quite clever. In the pitch black, the person he encountered was most likely a robber, and since he was alone, he probably wasn't a formidable figure. He couldn't even see the other person clearly, so the other person probably didn't know who he was either, which was why he dared to follow him.
Feng Mubai's reputation in Jiangling is quite high, so as long as he announces his name in advance, the other party will probably not dare to do anything to him. At worst, he can give them some silver.
Born into the Feng family, he had his father's knowledge of poetry and his master Xia's knowledge of calligraphy. As for money, his mother's Feng Family Restaurant earned who knows how much money it would make in a day, so he never thought money was anything special.
However, after he announced his name, the dark figure opposite him did not show any surprise. Instead, he took a step forward and stopped when he was only a step away from him.
Feng Mubai breathed a slight sigh of relief, fearing that the dark figure would walk without stopping. However, before he could be happy for long, he felt a pain on his face and his head was buzzing.
"Smack!"
The sound of a hand touching the face came later.
Feng Mubai covered his face, looking completely incredulous.
From childhood to adulthood, although he wasn't the crown prince, he lived like one. Who had ever hit him? And who would dare to hit him? Especially not... in the face?
Feng Mubai was about to lose his temper, but reason made him hold back.
It was dark and there was no one else around. Based on that slap just now, the guy opposite him must be stronger than him. It would be too disadvantageous to fight him.
Therefore, we have no choice but to outsmart them!
Over the years, Feng Mubai seems to have gotten used to it. Whenever he encounters a problem, he thinks of using his wits to solve it, after all, he is smart!
So he began to analyze the situation. He had given his name, but the person opposite him remained unmoved, which meant he didn't know the Feng family. He didn't know the Feng family in Jiangling, which meant he wasn't a local.
After analyzing that the person opposite him was not a local, Feng Mubai's brain started working even faster. He thought to himself, "If an outsider comes to Jiangling, he must know a few prominent figures in Jiangling, right? If he doesn't know the Feng family, surely he knows the other families too?"
He then covered his face and said, "This... brave man! Perhaps you haven't heard of our Feng family, but you must have heard of Prefect Xu Wenchang of Jiangling, right? To tell you the truth, Prefect Xu and our Feng family are old friends, and I usually address him as my uncle!"
"..."
No response? You've never even heard of Magistrate Xu?
Feng Mubai was unwilling to give up and decided to try again: "Oh, there's also the Lin family of Jiangling, the Lin family of Jiangling to which the former Kunlun Sect leader, Lin Qingshan, belonged. That's my maternal grandfather's family!"
"..."
Still no reaction? Or haven't you realized what's happening yet?
Jing Zhe wasn't oblivious; he was wondering what the two men were thinking when Feng Mubai called Prefect Xu "uncle." Prefect Xu was probably pretending not to understand, but what about Feng Mubai? He wasn't stupid; surely he knew?
If he truly didn't know, then he would be a complete fool.
Seeing that the shadowy figure hadn't reacted even after he'd mentioned three different families, Feng Mubai's mood gradually sank. With a "nothing to lose" mentality, he finally spoke up: "Brave warrior, there are two Lin families in Jiangling. Besides my maternal grandfather's family, there's another Lin family that has a close relationship with our family!"
Feng Mubai was actually making a last-ditch effort, but after he finished speaking, he discovered that the dark figure that hadn't reacted at all before had actually moved!
Although he didn't move much, he did move, which shows that he had heard of the Lin family, to which Lin Changjun belonged!
As long as you've heard of them, that's fine; the real problem is that you don't know any of them!
At this moment, Feng Mubai was already full of fighting spirit and said proudly, "To be honest, brave warrior, Miss Lin Wan'er of the Lin family is the number one talented woman in Jiangling City. Not to mention Jiangling, even in the whole world, Wan'er can be considered the number one talented woman!"
According to Feng Mubai's guess, since the shadowy figure knew about the Lin family, there might be some connection between them. So, he should first flatter Lin Wan'er to win her favor. That must be the right thing to do!
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the shadowy figure swayed from side to side even more violently…
