Chapter 507 Zhuge Tao's Intervention
"Thank you, supervisor!"
Luo Feng did not remain in a daze. He stood up and operated the electronic bracelet, adding Zhuge Tao to his address book.
Just as the two of them exchanged contact information, Luo Feng's electronic bracelet suddenly vibrated.
"Ok?"
Luo Feng took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment and then chose to hang up.
An unfamiliar number may be a promotional advertisement or a wrong number.
However, the most important reason why he chose to hang up was the occasion here - everyone present were the leaders of the Extreme Martial Arts School, and everyone was talking about something, so it would be impolite to answer the phone at this time.
"Luo Feng..."
Zhuge Tao smiled and was about to continue speaking.
However, Luo Feng's electronic bracelet vibrated again - it was the same strange number as before.
"You'd better answer it first. It might be urgent."
Zhuge Tao did not show any displeasure, but instead gestured to Luo Feng with a smile to take it first.
In the eyes of Wu Tong and others, this action was undoubtedly an expression of extreme tolerance.
Luo Feng's experience was not as profound as theirs. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, he walked aside and answered the call.
"Hello. Who is this?"
"Luo Feng, please give me a condition. What will it take for you to let Hao Bai go?"
A low and cold voice came from the electronic bracelet. It turned out to be Zhang Haobai's uncle, Zhang Zehu.
After all, Zhang Zehu is a senior soldier with good connections. Plus, Zhang Haobai and Luo Feng are classmates, so it's not surprising that he could get Luo Feng's contact number.
After leaving Tiandu Garden Community yesterday, Luo Feng called the police.
This alarm was not a notification to the police in the general sense, but a direct contact to the Security Bureau.
After the Security Bureau learned about the situation, it immediately took action against Zhang Haobai.
If Zhang Zehu hadn't used his connections to delay the incident, and if Zhang Haobai hadn't been injured at the time, he would have probably been taken away.
Even so, because there is solid evidence that Zhang Haobai harmed the warrior's immediate family members, he will be taken away directly by the Security Bureau on the day he is discharged from the hospital.
Therefore, Zhang Zehu was so anxious to get Luo Feng's contact information and called him to ask him to resolve the matter privately.
Although he had many dissatisfactions with his nephew Zhang Haobai, he was the only child of the next generation of the Zhang family after all, and he could not let him bear the stain of going to jail.
"Zhang Zehu? Zhang Haobai dared to touch my dad. If you want to settle this matter, you will have to spend a lot of money - 50 million, which is considered as compensation for my dad's medical treatment, lost work time, and mental health."
Knowing the other party's presence, Luo Feng's tone was no longer polite, and he spoke in a very cold and hard tone.
"Fifty million?! Why don't you go and rob him? Your dad isn't even injured!"
Zhang Zehu's voice suddenly rose, and he was obviously angry about this number.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. I said 50 million, not a penny less! Besides, I'm very busy now and I have to die. As for whether to prepare 50 million in compensation or let your nephew go to jail, it's up to you."
After saying this, Luo Feng hung up the call and added the number to his blacklist.
He was not talking nonsense. He was indeed very busy and had no time to argue with Zhang Zehu.
And to be honest, if he didn't know that Zhang Zehu had the means to help Zhang Haobai escape punishment, he wouldn't even want the 50 million.
However, it would be difficult to put Zhang Haobai in jail anyway, so he had to settle for the next best thing and ask for 50 million in compensation, which can be regarded as seeking justice for his father.
If Zhang Zehu disagrees, and instead donates 100 million to secure a one-star citizenship for Zhang Haobai, Luo Feng won't feel that he's losing out.
That’s one hundred million, which is painful enough even for a high-level warrior!
"Zhang Zehu called?"
Jiang Nian was also an eyewitness to the incident, and upon hearing this, he asked Luo Feng in a low voice.
Luo Feng did not answer, but just nodded, not intending to continue talking about this matter in this occasion.
Including Wu Tong, everyone else was confused, but they roughly understood that Luo Feng seemed to have had a big dispute with a guy named Zhang Zehu because of his father.
"Xiao Jiang, what's going on? It sounds like someone is bullying the family of our Extreme Martial Arts School members."
No one expected that Zhuge Tao would actually take the initiative to ask about this matter.
However, thinking back to the importance the other party had shown towards Luo Feng, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.
"This is what happened..."
Jiang Nian hurriedly stood up and narrated the whole story of how Zhang Haobai framed and beat up Luo Hongguo and other porters, without any exaggeration.
Because there was no need for any exaggeration, Luo Feng and Extreme Martial Arts School were completely right in this matter.
The most important thing is that the moving company uploaded the real-time work video to the police, so the whole incident can be said to be solid evidence.
If he deliberately exaggerated the matter just to vent Luo Feng's anger, it would be superfluous and stupid.
"So that's what happened... Luo Feng, don't worry. Not only will Zhang Haobai go to jail, but he will also have to pay a full 50 million in compensation!"
After hearing the whole story, Zhuge Tao's eyes narrowed slightly. He always behaved very kindly, but at this moment he revealed an indescribable majesty.
Don't forget that this person is one of the four giants of Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts School. Even ordinary gods of war would give him some face when they meet him!
He was very friendly to Luo Feng, an attitude he would only have towards his own genius.
If he is facing an enemy, he will certainly show the tyranny and means that a superior should have.
"It's just a small matter, but we have to trouble the supervisor to come in person. It's really..."
Luo Feng bowed slightly in embarrassment when he heard this, but he did not refuse.
He is usually a generous person. Even if someone has a conflict with him, most of the time he can just laugh it off.
But his only weakness and Achilles' heel is his family.
If Zhang Haobai dared to attack his father Luo Hongguo, it would touch his reverse scale. He would use all his strength to retaliate no matter what!
"Haha, you are a member of my Extreme Martial Arts School. Your interests have been damaged. As the director of Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts School, it is my job to protect you. Just focus on your cultivation and don't worry about these little things."
Zhuge Tao stepped forward and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, once again showing his humble and kind side.
"Since the supervisor has spoken, Zhang Zehu is just a high-level soldier. Even if he wants to donate 100 million to get his nephew the treatment of a one-star citizen, there is absolutely no chance for that."
Uncle Bai also stepped forward and said with a smile.
One of them was close to being a god of war, and the other was a high-level warrior. Their status was even higher. In their eyes, not to mention Zhang Zehu, even the entire Tiger Fang team that Zhang Zehu belonged to was nothing.
If they had not intervened, Zhang Zehu might have been able to use his connections to donate 100 million to the country in exchange for a one-star citizen status for his nephew Zhang Haobai, so that he could escape the punishment for harming the immediate family members of a warrior.
However, as long as Zhuge Tao spread the word, who would dare to give Zhang Zehu the face and help his nephew escape punishment?
If you really do that, it would be equivalent to offending Zhuge Tao!
Zhuge Tao not only has strong personal strength and a high status in the Extreme Martial Arts School, but the Zhuge family behind him is also a super family that should not be underestimated!
Even if some people may not be afraid of Zhuge Tao, it would be a lie to say that they don't care about Zhuge Tao's brother Zhuge Shan, or even the entire Zhuge family.
Unless, Zhang Zehu has the ability to invite a councilor-level figure, that is, Inspector Liu, who is a being who surpasses the God of War!
But if Zhang Zehu really had that ability, he would not have followed the Tiger Fang team and hung out in the wilderness for all these years.
Here, Luo Feng was having a pleasant conversation with Zhuge Tao and others, but over there, Zhang Zehu was feeling uncomfortable.
"Ah Hu, how is it? What did Luo Feng say?"
"Uncle, is it solved?"
In the intensive care unit of a hospital in Yian District, Zhang Zelong and his son Zhang Haobai were looking at Zhang Zehu on the balcony with anticipation.
"That kid... wanted 50 million! And he hung up on me!"
When Zhang Zehu thought of the tone of Luo Feng's words just now, he became furious and wanted to follow the signal and beat the other person up.
"Fifty million?! Impossible!"
Zhang Zelong jumped up immediately, and his sharp voice made the nurse passing by the ward frown and knock on the door as a reminder.
Zhang Haobai was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and he looked miserable. When he heard his uncle's words, his face turned pale: "Uncle, you have to save me, I don't want to go to jail!"
"Don't worry, he's asking for too much. As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you have to pay it back on the spot. I can't possibly give him 50 million. As long as I'm here, Haobai, you won't go to jail."
Zhang Zehu took a deep breath, his expression calmed down a little, and dialed Luo Feng's number again.
However, the next sound coming from the electronic bracelet made his face turn pale again in an instant -
"Sorry, you have been blocked..."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Zehu growled angrily: "How dare you block me, you little bastard!"
"This...what should I do next?"
After a moment, Zhang Haobai spoke again pitifully.
Zhang Zelong knitted his eyebrows together and sighed, "It seems that this guy is determined to make things difficult for us and doesn't want to talk at all!"
"Fifty million... Humph! I would rather donate 100 million to the country and have a good reputation than give in to that little bastard and give him fifty million!"
Zhang Zehu was silent for a long time before he spoke again viciously.
"One hundred million! Ah Hu, have you thought it through?"
Zhang Zelong swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. He suddenly felt that this time his son seemed to... be a blessing in disguise?
Under normal circumstances, even he would not be willing to donate 100 million to exchange his son for the status of a one-star citizen.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Haobai made a mistake and made his younger brother decide to bleed heavily...
Although my younger brother is very close to me, can he be closer than my son?
If we can take the opportunity to get Zhang Haobai a one-star citizenship, not only will he not have to go to jail, but he will also be able to function more easily in society in the future!
One-star citizenship means that one has made a significant contribution to the country and will receive many preferential treatments in the future whether he or she is engaged in business or politics.
"Uncle, are you serious?"
Zhang Haobai no longer cared about playing the victim. He just stared at his uncle with his eyes wide open.
"Don't think that just because I gave you a one-star citizenship, you can get away with it! I will personally train you later, so that you will remember this lesson and be reborn!"
Zhang Zehu glared at his disappointing nephew, then frowned and looked at his elder brother whose face was gradually unable to hide his joy.
"Brother, if you protect him again this time, I won't care about anything else if he causes trouble in the future!"
"Did you hear that, you bastard? I shouldn't have indulged you like this. After you recover, your uncle will discipline you. If you dare to disobey me, I will skin you alive!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zelong quickly suppressed his joy, stared at Zhang Haobai sternly, and slapped his bandaged arm.
"Hiss... Got it, I will definitely listen to my uncle's instructions!"
Zhang Haobai grimaced in pain, but there was excitement in his eyes.
"I must become a warrior as soon as possible... Luo Feng dared to break into my house and beat me up. I will never forget this grudge!"
After being beaten up by Luo Feng this time, he did learn a lesson - but no matter how powerful his family is, if he himself is not strong enough, he will still suffer losses outside!
He also secretly swore in his heart that after this matter was over, he would hone himself well with his uncle.
After becoming a warrior, I will go to Luo Feng to get my revenge.
"Good! The fact that you can say this shows that you still have some courage and are not hopeless! I will pay for your compensation this time, but from now on, you must concentrate and work hard on your cultivation."
Zhang Zehu's tone slowed down after hearing this and he started operating the electronic bracelet again.
To donate to the country, generally speaking, you only need to go to the relevant department and it can be easily handled without a middleman.
After all, this is something the country would welcome.
But Zhang Haobai's situation is rather special. The incident of him beating up the warrior's family has been reported to the Security Bureau.
Now when you go to the relevant departments to donate money, they will definitely pay attention to this matter when doing background checks.
A person who is involved in a case, especially a case related to warriors, wants to become a one-star citizen... In principle, the relevant departments will not approve it.
The country is not willing to openly shield a criminal suspect, and even donations cannot be accepted without principles.
It’s like if it’s obvious that the money came from robbery or theft, how could the relevant departments accept it without conducting an investigation?
If you really do that, it will definitely cause controversy.
Over time, the country's credibility will be in crisis.
However, Zhang Zehu has been a warrior for many years and has many high-ranking friends in Yangzhou City and even in the main urban area.
By taking advantage of the friendship between the two parties and giving some benefits, it would not be difficult to carry out some "unconventional" operations.
No matter which world it is, there will never be a shortage of termites.
"Hey, Old Xu, haha, something happened to my family, and I want to donate a one-star citizen. Do you think it's possible?"
After the call was connected, Zhang Zehu put on a smiling tone.
