Chapter 35: Someone Wants Her Dead

~7 min read 1,278 words

You dare tell us to scram?

Huang Mao, hearing Jiang Feng's words, was startled for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

He pointed at Jiang Feng's nose, his tone full of contempt: "With your shabby look, you still dare say this shop is yours? I think you're trying to help the old guy get ahead, your brain's filled with water!"

The two people beside them grew impatient, their eyes fierce as they said, "Big brother, why waste words with him! Beat him down outright, let him know our strength; then the old guy will naturally hand over the money!"

Kid, if you have any sense, scram quickly, otherwise when we break your leg later, don't whine about the pain!

Jiang Feng said nothing, just leaning against the medicine cabinet, his gaze cold as he stared at the three thugs.

You still have the damn nerve to glare at me?

Huang Mao, enraged, swung his fist violently toward Jiang Feng's face.

Hua Jing shouted from beside them, "Jiang Feng! Watch out!"

But Jiang Feng didn't even flick his eyelid.

When Huang Mao's fist was about to reach him, he suddenly lifted his right foot and kicked Huang Mao's stomach hard!

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Huang Mao flew out like a torn sack.

He slammed into the wall, then slid onto the ground, clutching his stomach and curling into a ball, the pain making tears stream out.

Green Hair and Lan Mao, seeing this, exchanged a glance and rushed toward Jiang Feng together.

Jiang Feng still remained unflustered, leaning his body back, his left foot swiftly kicking at Lan Mao's knee.

A light "crack" sounded, Lan Mao let out a wail, kneeling on one knee, clutching his knee and twitching.

My leg! My leg's going to break!

The remaining one was also grabbed by Jiang Feng, instantly forced to kneel on the ground.

Huang Mao was terrified.

He trembled as he spoke, "You... who exactly are you? You dare hit us; do you know who we work for?"

"Oh? I really don't know."

Jiang Feng dismissed him.

Huang Mao roared loudly, "We are of the Black Gold Society! From today this street belongs to the Black Gold Society! You dare hit us, you're opposing the Black Gold Society!"

He thought that by invoking the Black Gold Society's name, Jiang Feng would surely be frightened.

After all, who in Jiangcheng hasn't heard that the Black Gold Society is expanding its territory lately, using ruthless methods; no one dares to provoke them.

"Black Gold Society?"

Jiang Feng let out a snort, "Ha, it's really a lingering nuisance like a dog‑skin plaster."

Jiang Feng's tone was calm, yet carried an oppressive aura.

I have just one sentence: the money here, the Black Gold Society wants every bit of it; get out quickly, otherwise... you all won't leave.

The three thugs exchanged glances, each feeling a chill in their hearts.

They hadn't forgotten Jiang Feng's fierce kicks earlier; if they fought again, they'd surely get beaten again.

But after leaving like that, feeling ashamed, Huang Mao gritted his teeth and still uttered a harsh threat.

"You wait! We're going back to call for reinforcements! Remember this: crossing the Black Gold Society, you won't have a good end!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Feng's reply, grabbed the two goons, turned and fled, soon out of sight.

After the three left, Hua Jing hurriedly grabbed Jiang Feng's hand.

"Jiang Feng, you should leave quickly! Get out of here, don't stay!"

Jiang Feng was startled: "Hua Lao, what's wrong? I haven't gone to see Miss Nie yet."

"What are you looking at, Miss Nie!"

Hua Jing stamped his foot anxiously, his voice trembling, "You've tangled with the Black Gold Society! They're ruthless; last month Qian Xue was ambushed because he protected the merchants on this street and refused to pay protection fees! Now Qian Xue is still unconscious; if they target you again, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"I, this old bone, don't mind; I can't let you be implicated!"

Hua Jing pulled Jiang Feng toward the exit: "The Black Gold Society's people will definitely come back for revenge; you should hide until the heat passes!"

"Hua Lao, don't worry."

Jiang Feng didn't leave, soothing the old man: "Since I dared to provoke the Black Gold Society, I have a way to deal with them; I won't suffer losses."

"But they have many people and powerful warriors!"

Hua Jing still wasn't at ease, "Qian Xue was harmed because they surrounded him, you alone..."

"Don't worry, they can't hurt me."

Jiang Feng lifted the medicine box from the ground and shoved it into Hua Jing's hand.

"Let's go quickly; I'm afraid Miss Nie won't hold out much longer."

Hua Jing, knowing he couldn't persuade Jiang Feng, sighed, "Sigh, fine! But you must be careful!"

"Got it!"

Jiang Feng smiled and nodded, following Hua Jing out of the Medical Hall.

After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at a place called Maple Leaf Bar.

"This is Miss Nie's territory."

At this moment the Maple Leaf Bar wasn't open yet; several bodyguards stood guard at the entrance, highly alert.

Seeing Hua Jing, the bodyguard quickly greeted, "Hua Lao, you're here? Miss Nie is still the same, still unconscious."

"I brought a doctor."

Hua Jing pointed at Jiang Feng and introduced, "This is Doctor Jiang, his medical skill is exceptional; let him see Miss Nie, maybe he can wake her up!"

The bodyguard examined Jiang Feng from head to toe, seeing he was so young, hesitated, "Hua Lao, several renowned doctors have come before..."

"Doctor Jiang's medical skill, I can guarantee with my life!"

Hearing that, the bodyguard hesitated a moment, then nodded: "Alright, Hua Lao, you come with me; Sister Nie Ying is upstairs watching Miss Nie."

Following the bodyguard into the bar, Inside indeed was very quiet.

It didn't look like a noisy bar at all, more like a quiet café.

Going up to the second floor, at the end of the corridor was a large room; the bodyguard knocked lightly: "Sister Nie Ying, Hua Lao has arrived, and also brought a Doctor."

The door opened quickly, and a woman in a professional suit stepped out, in her thirties, eyes sharp, who was indeed Nie Qianxue's assistant, Nie Ying.

She saw Hua Jing, and her eye circles were a bit red.

"Hua Lao, you've finally arrived! Miss Nie still hasn't woken up today; even water won't go in, and her body temperature is a bit low."

"Nie Ying, this is Doctor Jiang."

Hua Jing pushed Jiang Feng to the front, "Let him examine Qian Xue; he surely has a solution!"

Nie Ying nodded, gratefully saying: "Doctor Jiang, I'm counting on you."

Jiang Feng followed into the room; Inside was very quiet, suffused with a faint medicinal scent.

On the large bed by the window lay a woman, covered with a white quilt, long hair spread on the pillow, complexion pallid, motionless.

Jiang Feng stepped lightly over, first leaning forward to glance at Nie Qianxue's complexion.

He then gently lifted Nie Qianxue's wrist, placing it on her pulse, his brows tightly knit.

"How is it? Doctor Jiang, does Qian Xue still have a chance of rescue?"

Hua Jing leaned in, his voice pressed very low.

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, withdrew his hand and said lightly.

"She not only has severe external injuries, but was probably also poisoned; it seems someone here wants her dead."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Nie Ying's face changed dramatically at the words: "Everyone here is fiercely loyal to the Miss; are you sent by the Black Gold Society to sow discord between us?"
