Lu Feng listened to the dial tone, feeling slightly bewildered. He had just wanted to ask whether this matter was handled by the city itself or because of Huang Youwei's influence.
If Huang Youwei is behind it all, then this is a huge blow to his reputation.
I thought about calling to ask, but after thinking about it, I decided against it; it seems I'd end up owing favors to both sides.
He picked up the phone and called Hu Yaoqing.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through. It was my fault for being ungrateful. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Hu. I will definitely have to eat this meal. What we eat is not important. What's important is that I'm eating with someone like Mr. Hu. It would be best if this matter could be resolved. I'll need someone like Mr. Hu to take care of me in the future!"
Hu Yaoqing was extremely surprised. How much time had passed, yet Lu Feng's attitude had changed so drastically. Although he couldn't understand it, he felt that Lu Feng was sending a signal of weakness.
He guessed that Lu Feng might have found out something about him and was scared.
It's good that he's scared. What I'm afraid of is that he doesn't know what's good for him and that we might have a conflict tonight, break his arms and legs, or cause more trouble. Mr. Hu just wants him to stay here obediently for a month.
"Mr. Lu, you're too kind. I'll have someone pick you up tonight. It's settled then, no take-backs."
"no problem!"
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone, glanced at the time, and realized it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He should get ready, so he took a shower and changed his clothes. Although he looked much more formal, the seven-colored headdress was still so eye-catching.
After leaving the room, he knocked on Qin Zhong's door. The door opened, and Qin Zhong saw that it was Lu Feng. He asked, "What is it?"
"You need to send someone with me tonight. It's quite risky; I need to attend a dinner party."
A dinner party?
Their mission ends tomorrow, and this strange thing happened tonight. Qin Zhong was a little annoyed and said, "What kind of dinner party is this? Postpone it and we'll leave tomorrow."
"Leaving tomorrow is a matter for tomorrow, but tonight's dinner is very important and we must attend!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
Lu Feng lowered his voice, and Qin Zhong's face instantly darkened. These words sounded like he was being ordered around. He snapped, "Who are you talking to like that? Let me tell you, I told you to stay in the room, so stay in. Is your life more important than this dinner party? You decide. Don't talk to me like that!!!"
Seeing how sensitive he was, and how easily his emotions could flare up, Lu Feng softened his expression and said, "This dinner is very important to me, thank you for your help."
Is this how you ask for a favor?
Lu Feng frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to stay in the hotel and not go out. Those under my protection must obey my orders. Let me tell you, I'm already very annoyed with you for wandering around everywhere these past few days, understand?" Qin Zhong's face froze, and he pointed his finger at Lu Feng's nose, shouting, "Go back to your room!!"
Qin Zhong's voice was loud, echoing throughout the corridor. He Xiaohui opened her door and saw the two of them standing at the door staring at each other. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" and ran over in her slippers.
"What's wrong? What happened again?" He Xiaohui hurriedly pushed Lu Feng back.
She could sense that the two were staring into each other's eyes, and anger was already simmering between them. Lu Feng had been holding back these past few days, but he was clearly really angry today.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Zhong pointed at Lu Feng and shouted, "Try looking again. What are you so arrogant about with a little bit of money? Don't you know how you got that money?"
"Say less!" He Xiaohui said, pushing him into the house.
The doors to the other rooms opened, and Qin Zhong's team members came over. After all, they were his subordinates, and their expressions toward Lu Feng were not friendly. Lu Feng was surrounded in the middle.
Lu Feng looked around and sighed helplessly. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and turned to He Xiaohui, saying, "Don't stop him!"
"What are you so proud of? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the mission, you'd be finished by now!"
Lu Feng's expression turned cold, and he exhaled a puff of smoke, saying, "Come on, brothers, I'll let you hit me today. Hit me this way, and I won't fight back. If you don't fight back, you're not a man!!"
"Go to hell!" Qin Zhong shoved He Xiaohui aside and rushed out, raising his hand to punch Lu Feng in the face.
Lu Feng stood there motionless, watching him. He thought that a pretty boy like Lu Feng would be so scared that he would squat down when the fist was about to land on his face. However, he still didn't move when the fist was about to land on Lu Feng's face.
Before the fist could land, it was only a palm's distance from Lu Feng's face. Qin Zhong was panting, feeling incredibly embarrassed, and the people around him didn't even try to stop him.
He Xiaohui stood aside and watched coldly, not stopping him. Let him fight if he wants to. You were here to protect him. In the end, Lu Feng was beaten by his own people instead of those people. He will definitely get a disciplinary action when he gets back.
There were seven or eight people at the scene, but not a single one of them made a sound.
The scene was extremely awkward!
Lu Feng picked up a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless. Send a few men with me to dinner tonight!"
No one answered, and Lu Feng didn't say anything more, turning around and leaving.
Qin Zhong glanced at everyone with a malicious look in his eyes, and no one dared to meet his gaze. Their eyes fell on He Xiaohui, and Qin Zhong said with dissatisfaction, "So you're helping him? So you've taken a liking to him?"
"Captain Qin, what kind of talk is that?" He Xiaohui, her pride wounded, shouted, "What do you take me for?"
"You're only after his money, aren't you? Anyone with eyes can see that these days." Qin Zhong spoke with extreme anger, kicking the door twice and shouting, "Can't you tell who the most promising man is? He's just a gigolo, living a life of luxury off that woman's money. I'm twenty-eight this year, and I'm already a squad leader!!"
