Chapter 503 Pay the price
The person that Zhang Zehu felt fearful of was Jiang Nian, the instructor of the Yangzhou City Extreme Martial Arts School.

On weekdays, when facing martial arts students like Luo Feng, Jiang Nian is very strict during training, but he is quite kind in private.

But at this moment, he just stood there quietly with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhang Zehu coldly, which immediately suppressed the other party's furious emotions.

It’s not Zhang Zehu’s fault that he is timid - in fact, he, nicknamed "Mountain Tiger", has always had a very hot temper.

But who is Jiang Nian?
Not only is he an instructor at the Extreme Martial Arts School, but he is also a genuine junior warrior. Moreover, he is only a step away from the level of an intermediate warrior, and he will surely be able to make further progress within two or three years.

A junior general can be considered a top figure even in the entire Yangzhou city, at least at the upper-middle level.

In addition to his identity as an instructor at the Extreme Martial Arts School, even the powerful people in Yangzhou City had to give him some face.

As for Zhang Zehu, although he is eight or nine years younger than Jiang Nian and may be slightly more talented than the other, he is still only a high-level fighter after all.

Although there is only one level difference between a senior warrior and a junior general, their actual combat power is more than twice as great.

If he wants to challenge Jiang Nian, it will take at least another five or six years - and that's if he is lucky enough.

After all, although he has better talent, it is not much better. Besides, Jiang Nian can't stay where he is forever.

Jiang Nian is still only in his early forties. Unless a warrior's talent has reached its limit, the growth of his strength will not begin to stagnate until he is at least in his fifties.

"Okay Luo Feng, don't cause any deaths! Although you are already a warrior, it is not worth it to cause yourself trouble for a playboy who just wants to eat and wait for death."

Jiang Nian stared at Zhang Zehu for a while, and seeing that he didn't dare to move anymore, he moved in front of Luo Feng and gave him some advice softly.

He was next to Luo Feng when he answered the phone just now.

Seeing that the newcomer under his command got into trouble, he, who always protected his own people, naturally could not sit idly by, so he thought about following him to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, when he came over to take a look, Luo Feng really ran into a big trouble - in his opinion, if he didn't catch up, facing Zhang Zehu, a senior fighter, Luo Feng would never be a match for him.

It's not just the gap in strength, but the aura of someone who has been through so much killing can make many novice warriors tremble with fear.

Of course, he didn't know Luo Feng's true strength - even if he didn't activate the Nine Revolutions Golden Body, his level of spiritual master as a high-level warrior was enough to give Zhang Zehu a hard time.

Although it cannot be said that a third-level apprentice spiritualist is definitely stronger than a third-level apprentice warrior, at least in terms of the suddenness of long-range attacks, he has a considerable advantage.

What's more, Zhang Zehu had no idea about Luo Feng's true strength. Being caught off guard, it was possible that he would die on the spot.

Today, Luo Feng's fate is very different from that in the original work.

Not only is he stronger, but his understanding of psychics and even the entire universe is much greater than in the original novel.

The inheritance of the Nine-Turn Golden Body secret technique also includes many offensive and defensive skills of spiritualists.

Although Luo Feng came from another dimension, at the same time as his strength was transformed, he was also instilled with a lot of information about this world by the original will of the universe.

With his level of cultivation, after absorbing and digesting the specific information of the Star-Swallowing Realm, his understanding of the path of cultivation is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The so-called spiritual masters and warriors ultimately end up in the same place.

Luo Feng was a sensible person. When he saw that his father was able to move freely and was not seriously injured, the worries in his heart had largely subsided.

The reason why he still took action was that he couldn't let go of the anger in his heart, but he never had the intention of killing anyone.

Now that Jiang Nian had spoken to persuade him, he stopped.

Zhang Haobai had been beaten so badly by him that he lay on the ground with only the strength to groan.

"Senior Jiang, even if you are from the Extreme Martial Arts School, you can't break into my private residence and commit murder, right?"

Zhang Zehu gritted his teeth and walked forward, looking at his nephew who looked miserable. Although he was a little afraid in his heart, uncontrollable anger still rose in his eyes.

"Assault? Your nephew beat up the family of my Extreme Martial Arts School's official member for no reason, and even stole someone's electronic bracelet. What crime should he be charged with?"

Jiang Nian is a veteran, so how could he be suppressed by Zhang Zehu, a junior?
"According to regulations, all moving company personnel are equipped with electronic bracelets, and work videos will be uploaded to the police backstage in real time. It's not easy for you to turn black into white and blame others!"

Luo Feng naturally knew everything about his father's work, so he was not panicked at all at this moment.

What's more, Luo Hongguo's old colleague also told him the details on the phone just now.

"Zhang Zehu, this matter is not over today! Intentionally harming a warrior's immediate family, robbing his property, and even framing him... I'm afraid your nephew will have to spend ten years in prison!"

Jiang Nian's words were even more experienced. He directly turned the passive situation into active one. Not only did he not intend to give an explanation to Zhang Zehu, but he also wanted to further investigate Zhang Haobai's legal responsibility.

"Luo Feng, take your father and his co-workers to the police station to report the case first, and then we'll assess their injuries. For those with serious injuries, find a car to take them to the hospital first."

Jiang Nian turned around and said to Luo Feng.

He didn't even look at Zhang Zehu, letting his face gradually become as ugly as pig liver.

"You...you guys!"

Zhang Zehu was extremely angry and wanted to say something.

But in terms of strength, he knew very well that he was no match for Jiang Nian; in terms of reason, he could not argue with the other party, and ultimately he could not say the harsh words, and watched Luo Feng and others disappear from his sight.

"Uncle, it hurts... Save me! Save me quickly!"

At this time, Zhang Haobai seemed to have recovered some strength and let out a slight cry for help.

Zhang Zehu felt distressed and disappointed when he saw this - this brat was always fooling around, and this time he even provoked the instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts School!
The trouble this time is not small. Even though Zhang Zehu has some connections, it is impossible for him to feel superior when facing the people from the Extreme Martial Arts School.

At this time, a steady and majestic luxury business car stopped outside the yard, and then a dignified and slightly wealthy middle-aged man got out of the car.

"Hao Bai! Who hurt you like this?"

The middle-aged man came up to him in two steps, with a look of both regret and anger on his face.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you ask Doctor Xu to come over! No...just lift the young master into the car and take him to the hospital!"

Under his angry roar, the bodyguards who were beaten to the ground finally managed to get up and hurriedly got Zhang Haobai into the car. "Ah Hu, what happened just now? Why did Haobai get injured like this?"

Zhang Zelong was a man of a certain status. After the initial shock and anger he showed when he saw his son's miserable condition, he quickly calmed down, but the anger in his eyes showed no sign of subsiding.

Zhang Zehu sighed and said, "I'm afraid Haobai has offended someone he shouldn't have offended this time..."

He couldn't help but blame his elder brother in his heart for finally raising the only child of the Zhang family to have such a character.

He has always been focused on cultivation, so he has never married and has no children.

Therefore, he treated his nephew Zhang Haobai as his own son.

He also often reminded his elder brother Zhang Zelong not to pamper Zhang Haobai too much, so as to prevent him from becoming overly arrogant and eventually going astray.

"He actually dared to hit a warrior's father? This brat is really spoiled by his grandparents and mother!"

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Zelong couldn't help but frown, feeling how tricky the matter was.

Warriors have a very special status in today's society.

If Zhang Haobai had only beaten an ordinary person, with the wealth and status of his Zhang family, plus Zhang Zehu's identity, he could have easily solved the problem by spending some money.

But the person he beat was the father of a warrior... If this matter gets out of hand, I'm afraid the police won't be able to handle it and will have to be handed over to the Security Bureau for handling!

If things really developed to that point, let alone Zhang Zehu being a high-level warrior, even if he was a high-level general, it would take a huge price to save Zhang Haobai from imprisonment!

"Ah Hu, you have to think of a solution! Hao Bai is the only one left in our Zhang family..."

After a burst of anger, Zhang Zelong was ultimately reluctant to let his son go to jail.

Zhang Zehu gently rubbed his brows, and after a long pause, he nodded and said, "It seems that I can only go to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and bow to that kid..."

"Didn't you just say that he was a young boy who had just become a warrior? If that's the case, Ah Hu, why don't you use some of your connections in the warrior circle to put pressure on that boy?"

Zhang Zelong didn't expect his brother to say that, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"If I bow my head so easily, will people look down on me..."

"It is precisely because he is young that things are even more troublesome! Such a young warrior has such great potential. The Extreme Martial Arts School must attach great importance to him. We can tell from Jiang Nian's attitude just now."

Zhang Zehu waved his hands in distress, signaling his elder brother not to say anything more.

"Alright, big brother, let me take care of the rest. Just go and take care of Hao Bai... When his injury heals, Wu Xing must teach him a lesson. Don't let him go on like this!"

Your son beat people and robbed people in front of other people's electronic bracelets. The evidence is irrefutable. How can there be any room for maneuver?

What's more, he is also a martial artist, and he has the Extreme Martial Arts School as his backer. How can he be suppressed just like that?

At least in the base city, Zhang Zehu did not have the courage to actively hurt another warrior.

In fact, let alone him, even Jiang Nian, who is an instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts School and has reached the level of a general, would not have the courage to do this.

If one attacks without provocation in the base city, even if the target is a civilian, one will have to pay a heavy price, let alone a warrior?
"Remember, big brother, don't do anything unnecessary. Leave everything to me. Otherwise, if there is any mistake, I can't protect Hao Bai!"

Zhang Zehu knew his elder brother very well and did not forget to remind him again.

"Don't worry, that kid is just a new warrior after all. Even if he has some talent, that will be in the future. With my strength and connections, I won't let Hao Bai be sent to jail by that kid."

Zhang Zelong could only nod when he heard this. He did have some messy thoughts in his mind before.

As the saying goes, like father, like son, this is absolutely true.

In the hospital corridor, Jiang Nian was chatting with Luo Feng about what had just happened.

"Luo Feng, how do you plan to solve this matter? Are you determined to put Zhang Haobai in jail, or to extort a large sum of money from them?"

Jiang Nian and Luo Feng have known each other for a long time. They have a very close relationship, so they speak very directly.

Moreover, in his heart, he had completely regarded Luo Feng as a member of his own faction.

An eighteen-year-old warrior deserves his attention.

Otherwise, if it were those guys who became warriors in their twenties, he would at most encourage them more often, but he wouldn't care so much.

"From my heart, of course I hope Zhang Haobai goes to jail! He actually dared to hit my dad, I wish I could kill that kid!"

Luo Feng is usually gentle, but he has a ruthless nature in his bones, otherwise how could he have earned the nickname "Madman" in the Extreme Martial Arts School?

"I'm not surprised that you have such thoughts, and I can understand it. But I must remind you that although Zhang Zehu is not as good as me, he also has some connections in the HR Alliance. If he is determined to protect that kid, it may not be easy for you to achieve your goal."

Jiang Nian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and told the truth.

"And even if Zhang Haobai goes to jail, his family's financial resources will allow him to live comfortably in prison... I personally think it would be better to ask them for a private settlement fee. This will not only make the Zhang family feel painful, but will also be of great benefit to you and your family."

As he spoke, he pointed at Luo Hongguo who was being examined.

"You can ask the Zhang family for tens of millions and settle this privately. Your parents won't have to work so hard from now on. Of course, with your current status as a warrior, even if you don't want these tens of millions, your family's life will get better soon."

Jiang Nian is an old hand after all, and his understanding and judgment of these things are much better than Luo Feng's.

“However, if Zhang Haobai wants to resolve the matter of beating up the warrior’s immediate family members, there is actually a way... that is, donate 100 million Chinese yuan and become a one-star citizen.

"Although the status of a one-star citizen is still not as good as that of a warrior, it does have certain privileges. After all, he is not dealing with you, but your father. If he becomes a one-star citizen, even if you sue him, he will only be detained for ten days or half a month."

"Well, in the end, it's still because I'm not strong enough... In that case, I have to pay compensation. Instructor, how much do you think I should ask for?"

Luo Feng thought about it for a moment and decided to follow the advice.

Since it is impossible to make Zhang Haobai truly accept sanctions, it is better to ask for more compensation, which can be regarded as seeking some justice for his father.
