Chapter 88

To recuperate from his injuries, Lin Feng settled down.

The injury, of course, was the one on his shoulder.

I had thought I would need to rest for half a month, but I didn't expect to be fully healed in less than a week.

August 27, Monday.

It had been nearly half a month since the Xiwang Song and Dance Hall explosion incident.

The police have closed the case, announcing to the public that the explosion was caused by problems with the installation of the gas pipelines in the song and dance hall.

After the truth was made public, all districts of Yanjing City launched a major safety crackdown.

The focus was on checking for safety hazards in restaurants and entertainment venues.

At 8:30 in the morning, Zhao Xiaoyang called, 'Brother, Wu Changxiong wants to see you…'

'What is meant to come will always come.'

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng muttered to himself.

He took out a tailor-made suit from the wardrobe and put it on, then combed his hair neatly and applied a little shine-defining hair gel.

He put on a wristwatch worth several hundred thousand.

Then he took out a thick gold chain from the safe and put it around his neck.

What else was missing?

Lin Feng then slipped an emerald-green jade ring onto his finger.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he finally had the air of a nouveau riche.

An hour and a half later, Lin Feng drove his Porsche to the Fierce Tiger Gym.

Wu Changxiong was already waiting inside the gym.

He had been waiting for an hour and a half!

The lounge on the second floor.

After going upstairs, Lin Feng saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa and greeted him with a smile: 'Hello, Mr. Wu! I'm Lin Feng. I've long heard of your great reputation; seeing you today, I find that fame does not do you justice!'

Saying that, Lin Feng plopped down onto the sofa.

Wu Changxiong sized up Lin Feng and said lightly, 'Mr. Lin, you must know why I'm here and what I want to ask; can you tell me the truth?'

Seeing that Lin Feng was young and dressed like a nouveau riche, with somewhat frivolous manner and speech, Wu Changxiong's attitude came across as somewhat arrogant.

Lin Feng smiled and said, 'Mr. Wu, we don't know each other; if you have something to say, just say it plainly—I really didn't understand what you just said.'

The secretary standing beside Wu Changxiong then said, 'We have investigated, and the man named Cao Ming bears a grudge against you over a woman.'

In the period before the incident, Cao Ming even tailed you, and you last met him at a teahouse.

At that time you were carrying a box that presumably held cash; Cao Ming took no pity, grew even more hateful toward you, and secretly made explosives.

Originally intended to target you, but after you found out in advance, he tried to lure Cao Ming to face Wu Guan.

And Wu Guan, who had also clashed with you before and, after Yang Yan came out, sought revenge on you, so you devised this plan to kill two birds with one stone.

After the secretary finished speaking, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

After gathering a large amount of data, he and his assistants kept running simulations and finally arrived at this conclusion.

And someone actually guessed it!

Lin Feng, however, was not at all flustered, putting on a clueless expression and saying, 'Excuse me, what are you talking about? Sorry, I really don't understand.'

Wu Changxiong said coldly, 'Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter; the important thing is that I now know the answer.'

Having said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Lin Feng hurried forward, grabbing Wu Changxiong's hand and said, 'Mr. Wu, please sit for a while! It's rare to see someone of your stature; may I treat you to a meal?'

Wu Changxiong shook off Lin Feng's hand and said lightly, 'I think I'll pass.'

Having said that, he left together with the secretary.

'Brother!'

Just as Wu Changxiong stepped out of the gym's main doors, Zhao Xiaoyang called out.

Lin Feng hurriedly said, 'This old man is nuts! What does his son Wu Guan's death have to do with us? I wish I were as smart as they claim. Besides, Wu Guan deserved to die—he was fooling around with women and ended up messing with me…'

Lin Feng had barely finished speaking when Zhao Xiaoyang realized something.

Probably, that secretary had installed some eavesdropping devices around.

Wu Changxiong got into his own car, a black Maybach, and sat in the back seat together with the secretary.

Not long after the driver started the car, Wu Changxiong removed a small earpiece from his left ear.

Then he frowned and said, 'It doesn't look like this kid did it.'

The secretary also furrowed his brows: 'Chairman, you must not be fooled by this kid. You said before that my inference is the closest to the truth.'

Wu Changxiong said, 'Just think—how precise a calculation would he need to achieve the result you inferred?'

'If he had known early that Cao Ming had made his own explosives and was looking for trouble with him, would he still dare to flaunt himself about?'

'This…'

The secretary didn't know what to say.

If it were him, Lin Feng, he would have probably called the police already.

At the very least, he could have had Cao Ming locked up for ten or twenty years—no need to take such a huge risk.

'Chairman, if we just let him go like this, what do we do about the investigation going forward?'

The secretary asked.

Wu Changxiong shook his head and said, 'Although we can't get a hold on him, you're right—his suspicion is the greatest, so we might as well treat him as if he were my son's killer.'

'As for how to do it specifically, please Chairman, give us an idea.'

Dealing with Lin Feng, the secretary felt, would be quite difficult.

Because Lin Feng has money, and also has a violent organization led by Zhao Xiaoyang.

Moreover, now it's a rule-of-law society, with strict control everywhere; wanting to hack people like in Xiangjiang movies is basically impossible.

Wu Changxiong said lightly: 'Everyone has a weakness; this kid's weakness is women……'

He hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a large truck rushed out of the intersection.

"Boom~"

A loud crash sounded.

The Maybach was hit by the large truck, skidding several times on the road.

In a small room inside the gym, Lin Feng picked at his ears.

After Zhao Xiaoyang put down his earphones, it was the same.

Because the earphones finally emitted a piercing screech, shaking his ears so they buzzed.

"Brother, just as you said, people like Wu Changxiong don't care about evidence."

Zhao Xiaoyang said, frowning.

Secretary Wang beside Wu Changxiong installed an eavesdropping device in the reception room on the second floor.

Lin Feng just went up, grabbed Wu Changxiong, and with extremely quick hands, stuck a soybean-sized eavesdropping device in Wu Changxiong's armpit.

"Evidence?"

Lin Feng sneered.

Then he frowned and asked: "How's your brother? You didn't hit him too hard and kill him, did you?"

Zhao Xiaoyang said: "Brother, rest assured, Liu Erwa has driven a large truck for thirty years, having over twenty traffic accidents, none of which caused fatalities; he's already experienced. I guarantee that Mr. Wu and that Secretary Wang full of dirty tricks won't die, but they'll have to lie in the hospital for a few days."

"Talent!"

Lin Feng gave a thumbs-up to the Liu Erwa Zhao Xiaoyang had mentioned.

Others drive trucks to haul cargo, but Liu Erwa drives a truck to accumulate collision experience.

The distance isn't far.

Lin Feng picked up a telescope and climbed onto a nearby building to observe.

The accident intersection already had congestion.

Wu Changxiong's car, the body slightly deformed.

Wu Changxiong, Secretary Wang, and the driver three people opened the car doors and got out.

Besides the driver being unharmed, Wu Changxiong and Secretary Wang's heads were bleeding.

When the accident occurred, the heads of the two who weren't wearing seat belts collided with each other, then struck the car door……

Soon an ambulance arrived.

Wu Changxiong and Secretary Wang were helped onto the ambulance.

Liu Erwa, with a simple-minded look, ran a red light, causing a relatively serious traffic accident, and was taken away by the traffic police.

No fatalities, this is just an ordinary traffic accident, not to be handled as a criminal case.
