Chapter 189: Make Him Kneel and Apologize!

Facing Lei Zhen's threat, Jiang Feng's mouth corner lifted a cold smile.

"You think, just with a single sentence, you can threaten me?"

Lei Zhen's face darkened; without further words, he swung his large hand violently.

"Surround him!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Shi Tang's doors were pushed open.

Dozens of elite armed with loaded guns rushed in, each clad in black special forces gear, their gun muzzles brushing in unison toward Jiang Feng.

Huo Siyong was frightened and stepped back one pace.

"Group Leader Lei, you're overstepping! Brandishing a gun in broad daylight, do you still have any law in your eyes?"

The two subdued Grandmaster death soldiers also raised their heads, a flash of surprise passing through their eyes.

Yet they showed no fear, only Cold Smile as they watched the farce before them.

Lei Zhen completely ignored Huo Siyong, his gaze fixed rigidly on Jiang Feng.

"Whether it's a threat, you'll know if you try."

"Your skills are indeed good; perhaps you could escape my surrounding circle, but what about the people in your shop?"

He paused, his mouth corner lifting a sinister smile.

"Now Jiangcheng is under citywide martial law; I am the Dragon Group leader, and with a single word I can, under the pretext of sheltering wanted felons, seize everyone in Ji Shi Tang for interrogation!"

"Then everyone here will be implicated because of you. Jiang Feng, do you really think you can stay untouched?"

As those words left his mouth, Huo Siyong's complexion changed instantly.

"Lei Zhen! You're downright despicable! How could the Dragon Group have someone like you!"

Jiang Feng's gaze turned completely cold at this moment, his body emitting an invisible pressure.

"Lei Zhen, you truly are shameless."

"Using innocent people to threaten me— is that the Dragon Group's style?"

"To save a life, the means aren't that important."

Lei Zhen's face remained expressionless, seemingly out of patience.

"I'll give you one final chance: come with me to the hospital to save Lu Xiao; if you can revive her, I can treat today's incident as if it never happened."

He thought Jiang Feng would finally compromise this time.

But Jiang Feng only stared at him coldly, neither agreeing nor speaking, as if watching a Jumping‑beam clown.

Lei Zhen's patience was completely exhausted; his gaze hardened, and in a low voice he said to his subordinates.

"Act! Forcefully take him away! Resisters, kill on sight!"

"Stop!"

At this critical moment, an authoritative rebuke rang out from outside the door.

The voice wasn't loud, yet it froze all the elite's movements instantly.

The crowd turned toward the voice and saw an elderly man in military uniform, bearing four‑star shoulder insignia, escorted by several guards, walking in slowly.

The old man's hair was silver, yet he was vigorous, exuding a long‑standing authority— it was Huo Lao!

"Grandpa!"

Huo Siyong saw the elder, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly ran over, grabbing Huo Lao's arm.

"Grandpa, they went too far, pointing guns at my Master, and even threatened to capture us!"

Lei Zhen saw Huo Lao, his complexion changed instantly, and he quickly withdrew his Grandmaster pressure, rushed forward, and respectfully called out to Huo Lao.

"Commander Huo! How did you arrive?"

Huo Lao was a top military figure, his status lofty; even the senior officials of the Dragon Group headquarters had to give him some deference.

Though his background was impressive, a Dragon Group Action Office leader dared not act brazenly before Huo Lao.

Huo Lao ignored Lei Zhen, his gaze falling on Jiang Feng, instantly softening considerably.

Then Huo Lao turned his head toward the crowd, his sharp gaze sweeping over the elite present.

"If I hadn't come, would you dare to strike my benefactor?"

He paused, his voice growing even harsher.

"Divine Doctor Jiang saved my old man's life; he is the great benefactor of the Huo Family! Whoever dares lay a finger on him today is an enemy of the Huo Family! The Huo Family has operated in the military for decades, and now I want to see who has the nerve!"

As those words were spoken, the entire scene fell dead silent.

The armed elite's faces turned deathly pale, their guns slipping from their hands as they instinctively lowered them.

Lei Zhen's complexion also turned very ugly, standing still, caught between a rock and a hard place.

He knew Huo Lao spoke the truth; the Huo Family's influence pervaded the military, and if he truly antagonized them, he would get nothing good.

Yet Lu Xiao was still teetering between life and death in the hospital; he couldn't just give up.

After hesitating a moment, Lei Zhen forced himself and explained to Huo Lao.

"Commander Huo, I know Mr. Jiang is your benefactor, but Lu Xiao… she is truly on the brink now; I had no choice but this, please understand."

Huo Lao heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, and he pondered for a moment.

Of course he knew Lu Xiao's identity.

The Lu family had served the Dragon Group for generations; she was indeed a rare talent.

Moreover, he had seen Lu Xiao when she was a child; she was a decent girl.

Thinking of this, Huo Lao turned, looking at Jiang Feng, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, Lu girl is also one I watched grow up; she's a good child. This old man, shamelessly, begs you for mercy, to save her once; consider the Huo Family indebted to you, and we will never refuse any future need!"

A four‑star military bigwig lowering himself before a young doctor this way left everyone present stunned.

Lei Zhen's eyes widened even more; he never imagined Huo Lao would go this far for Jiang Feng.

Huo Siyong also pleaded.

"Master, Grandfather has spoken, just save Sister Lu, I know you are soft‑hearted, you don't want to see a Human Life just vanish like that."

Jiang Feng looked at Huo Lao's sincere eyes, then glanced at Lei Zhen beside him, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"I can step in to save the person."

"But I have one condition."

Lei Zhen felt a surge of joy inside and hurriedly asked.

"What condition? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

"Make him kneel and apologize to me."

"For his earlier threat, for sending someone to pull my needle, and for his disrespect toward me, kneel and sincerely apologize."

When those words were spoken, the whole venue fell into dead silence again.

Who is Lei Zhen?

Dragon Group Third Division Leader.

Fourth Grade Grandmaster.

Mysterious background, lofty status, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

Making him kneel and apologize to a young Doctor is even more painful than killing him!

Shao Jinpeng was also stunned and shouted instinctively.

"Jiang Feng! Don't go too far! Group Leader Lei is a Dragon Group Grandmaster, how could he kneel before you!"

Jiang Feng glanced at him, his tone cold: "Either kneel, or watch Lu Xiao die, you choose."

He didn't even take Shao Jinpeng's words seriously; the condition had been set, whether they accept it is up to them.

Huo Lao hadn't expected Jiang Feng to propose such a condition, and frowned.

"Huo Lao, he's playing with fire!"

Lei Zhen still could not endure such humiliation, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Damn it! If it weren't for Huo Lao's prestige, a petty wandering Doctor would have no nerve to treat him like this!

"If you don't want to, then never mind..."

Jiang Feng saw Lei Zhen had no intention to kneel, turned and was about to leave.

"Wait..."

Lei Zhen's face twisted as he shouted.
