Chapter 508: Compensation and imprisonment, both are necessary!

The old Xu that Zhang Zehu called was an old friend who worked in a key department in Jiangnan City. Many of the spoils sold by their Tiger Fang team would pass through this person's hands.

"Then you have to tell me the details. What crime did your family member commit? You know, I have a lot of rules and regulations when doing things. There are some things I can do. But if I do some things, we will both be in trouble together."

A slightly hoarse voice of a middle-aged man came from the other side.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zehu immediately recounted what had happened.

He knew that this matter was no joke, so he did not evade any important points during the narration and simply told the other party the facts in detail.

"Fortunately, your nephew only had a conflict with the warrior's relatives, not the warrior himself. In addition, the other party was not actually injured. I can help with this matter. However, it is inevitable that some joints will need to be smoothed out in the process. Tiger, you should also understand..."

Old Xu only said this much, but the meaning behind it couldn't be more obvious -

There is a certain risk in me helping you with this, and it is not something I can decide alone. You can't let me bear the risk and spend money to do things for you, right?
"Hahaha, of course! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything needed to clear the joints. Also, after this is done, I, Lao Hu, will definitely not forget your contribution, Old Xu!"

Zhang Zehu cursed the other party for being greedy in his heart, but his tone did not show it at all. Instead, he smiled even more friendly.

He was now asking for help from others, so he naturally couldn't lose his temper as he pleased. He could only glare at Zhang Haobai, who was lying on the hospital bed with a look of expectation on his face.

If it weren't for you, why would I, your uncle, have to put on this smile?
Not only do you have to smile, you also have to give people money!

When Old Xu heard what he said, he immediately laughed: "Of course, I know what kind of person you are, Tiger. How about this, wait for me to contact a few friends and I will write you a letter later."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. We'll find the best restaurant in the city, and you can choose!"

Zhang Zehu laughed heartily and hung up the phone.

"How about it?"

Zhang Zelong and his son both had expectant looks on their faces, and asked in unison when they saw this.

Zhang Zehu curled his lips helplessly and nodded, "It's not a big problem. My friend has already agreed. But in addition to the donation, he also needs to pay for the cost of opening up the relationship."

"We are donating 100 million yuan. It would be fine if they didn't come to welcome us happily, but they actually asked for extra money?"

Zhang Haobai muttered somewhat unhappily.

Zhang Zelong slapped him on the forehead without any hesitation and scolded him, "How dare you bring it up? It's all your fault! It's just a trivial matter, but it makes the whole family restless! The next time you dare to do these stupid things and cause trouble for your uncle, I will beat you to death!"

Zhang Haobai grimaced in pain again, but didn't dare say anything more.

"It's not a big deal to bother me, but if you don't know how to act, it will bring disaster to the family in the long run. Haobai, you must plan before you act in the future!"

Zhang Zehu sat down beside the bed and his tone became much calmer.

This is the kind of person he is. Once he makes a decision, he will immediately adjust his mindset and do his best to follow the plan.

"Your biggest mistake this time was not understanding the situation of your opponent. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Don't you understand this truth? It's not scary to fall, but you should learn from your mistakes. In the future, you must think clearly before making a decision."

"Yes, I will remember to teach my uncle a lesson and will never make the same mistake again."

Zhang Haobai bowed his head and admitted his mistake obediently.

Seeing that his attitude was good and he seemed to have really learned his lesson, the expression on Zhang Zehu's face gradually softened.

At this moment, his electronic bracelet suddenly vibrated.

After glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was Lao Xu's number. He quickly stood up and answered the call with a smile on his face.

However, before he could open his mouth, there was a violent roar like a storm from the other side.

"Zhang Zehu, do you want to kill me? Luckily I have a wide network of contacts, otherwise I would have been killed by you this time! I usually look like a nice guy, but I didn't expect you to be so insidious!"

Old Xu's already hoarse voice sounded even rougher as he roared. Every word he said was filled with anger, and even a hint of something that could not be concealed - fear!
Zhang Zehu was completely confused by the harsh scolding. He had no idea what had happened in just a few minutes.

We were chatting happily just now, and even talked about choosing a restaurant...

Who would have thought that suddenly, the other party became completely angry!
And judging from the vicious curses that kept pouring out of Old Xu's mouth, it seemed that he was extremely angry and frightened, and he even wanted to slap Zhang Zehu, his "old friend", to death with a slap.

"That's enough! Can you please explain what's going on first?"

Even though Zhang Zehu was ready to compromise, he couldn't help but feel a little angry when the other party kept attacking him with insulting words.

"If you can't do it, just say it. A gentleman doesn't say bad things when breaking off a friendship. You are like a shrew scolding in the street. What do you think of me, Zhang Zehu?"

Even if you can't do this, why are you so angry? Even if you are angry somewhere else, why would you come to me to vent it?
If it weren’t for you, Zhang the butcher, I wouldn’t have to eat hairy pigs!

Zhang Zehu knows more than just Lao Xu who has friends in this area.

"Hahaha! Zhang Zehu, you're going to kill me, and you still expect me to talk to you nicely?"

Zhang Zehu's words seemed to make the other party laugh out of anger.

"If you have the ability, go find someone else and see if there is anyone in Jiangnan City who can help your stupid nephew! Why dare to mess with Zhuge Tao's people? Sooner or later, your whole family will be killed! Fortunately, I am cautious, otherwise I would have been killed..."

Old Xu's voice stopped abruptly here, and only the busy tone of "beep beep beep" remained in the electronic bracelet.

At this moment, Zhang Zehu, who was about to lose his temper, was struck by lightning. He stood still on the spot and did not move for a long time.

"Zhuge Tao..."

These three words were like a thunderbolt, which made him feel severely paralyzed both physically and mentally.

"How can this be?"

"Uncle, what's going on?"

"Ah Hu, don't scare me!"

Zhang Haobai and Zhang Zelong, father and son, were frightened by Zhang Zehu's horrified expression and couldn't help but turn pale.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Zehu didn't have time to deal with them and hurriedly operated the electronic bracelet again.

He still didn't understand what happened. Why a kid who had just become a warrior would have contact with Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Extreme Martial Arts School in Jiangnan City!
After all, he has been a warrior for more than ten years and has always been in Jiangnan Base City. Of course, he knows which big shots in this area should never be provoked.

The "Zhuge Tao" that Old Xu just mentioned is one of the many big figures in Jiangnan City, and he is worthy of being ranked in the top ten!
Even without considering his identity and background, his strength as a high-level general is enough to easily crush him to death.

"The user you are calling is busy. Please try again later..."

He called several friends in the main city, but was shocked to find that no one answered his call!
It seemed that in just those few minutes, Zhang Zehu had become a stinking piece of shit in the circle of friends, and no one wanted to contact him anymore.

Finally, just when he was at a loss, the electronic bracelet vibrated again. After seeing the number clearly, he answered it and said in a trembling voice, "Captain?"

The person who called was the captain of the Tiger Fang Squad and his life and death brother - Pan Ya.

"Huzi, what's wrong with you? You actually offended Zhuge Tao?"

Pan Ya's voice, filled with shock and concern, came from the sound hole of the electronic bracelet.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Zehu almost cried...

On the one hand, Zhuge Tao’s reputation was too great, which put him under tremendous psychological pressure; on the other hand, he was touched - at least there were still brothers who didn’t abandon me!

"Captain, how would I know? If there's anything related to the Extreme Martial Arts School that happened recently, it was my disappointing nephew..."

Zhang Zehu quickly told the story, but the confusion in his heart still remained.

"How is this matter related to Zhuge Tao? I really can't figure it out no matter how hard I try!"

"Alas, your nephew is really...don't even think about protecting him. Zhuge Tao has already said that anyone who dares to bully the family members of the Extreme Martial Arts School must pay the price. Listen to my advice, take your nephew and 50 million, and go to that kid named Luo Feng to make peace!"

There was a sigh in Pan Ya's voice, as if he felt that it was not worth it for him, a good brother, to always be dragged down by those bastard family members.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, brother. It's really... that's Zhuge Tao! Not to mention our Tiger Fang team, even if he's a big shot in the HR Alliance, we have to respect him! We can't afford to offend him!"

Although Zhang Zehu still couldn't figure out what was going on, he knew that the situation was irreversible.

Even the director of the Extreme Martial Arts School in Jiangnan Base City has been warned by the other party. What can a high-level warrior like him do?
The most important thing is that this matter was originally caused by his stupid nephew!
"Uncle, what happened..."

Zhang Haobai asked in a low voice with some trepidation.

"There's nothing we can do. Haobai, you can't escape the imprisonment this time. Not only will you have to go to jail, but they will also demand compensation of not a penny less."

Zhang Zehu walked to the bedside in a daze and sat down again, with only bitterness in his expression.

"how come?!"

Zhang Haobai's eyes widened even wider than before. He felt like he was about to reach heaven just a moment ago, but now he suddenly fell into hell.

"Uncle, you are the most capable person in our family, how could you not save me! Uncle, I promise to practice well in the future and never cause trouble again. I don't want to go to jail..."

"Bastard!"

Without waiting for Zhang Zehu to speak, Zhang Zelong, who had been silent next to him, suddenly stood up and slapped his son hard in the face.

"Can't you see that your uncle has tried his best? Are you going to drag down the whole family with the mistake you made? Just bear the consequences! Blame me, it's all my fault... I spoiled you..."

At the end of his speech, Zhang Zelong's voice trembled a little.

At this moment, Zhang Zehu and Zhang Haobai were both stunned.

Neither of them expected that Zhang Zelong, who was always gentle and like a good guy at home, would suddenly show such a strong side.

"Ah Hu, don't blame yourself. We must not mess with a person like Zhuge Tao. I've spoiled Hao Bai... It may not be a bad thing to let him suffer a little."

Zhang Zelong stood up and walked to his brother's side, putting his hand on the other's shoulder, his expression showing both regret and determination.

"Given the mistakes he made, which only happened a year or so ago, it's not a big deal. When he gets out, you will be in charge of his supervision... We can't go on like this."

After saying this, he didn't even look at his son, turned around and walked slowly out of the ward.

Even though Zhang Haobai shouted at him a few times in a crying voice, he did not turn back.

"Big brother..."

Zhang Zehu looked at his elder brother's back and felt as if he had gotten to know this brother who was nearly ten years older than him all over again.

"Luo Feng... I don't know how you managed to get to this high position, but from now on, don't let me run into you in the wilderness!"

Although he had to bow his head, the hatred he felt for Luo Feng in his heart grew deeper.

Three days later.

Yangzhou City, Yian District Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

"How's it going, Luo Feng? You've got the 50 million, and Zhang Haobai is in jail. You've finally gotten rid of the anger in your heart, right?"

In the training hall, Jiang Nian looked at Luo Feng who was putting the Blood Shadow Blade and other heavy models back on the shelf, and spoke with a smile.

"Thank you, instructor, for bringing this up with Supervisor Zhuge. Otherwise, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Luo Feng wiped his sweat with a towel and thanked him with a smile.

Jiang Nian waved his hand and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank Director Zhuge. What does it have to do with me? By the way, have you thought about what to do in the next two months?"

As early as the second day after returning from the main urban area, Luo Feng had already received a notice from the elite training camp allowing him to enter the camp without taking an entrance exam.

However, each batch of new members enters the training camp in September every year. It is only the beginning of June now, and there are still more than two months before the camp opens. Luo Feng naturally cannot be idle.

"I've thought about it. I want to enter the wilderness area. As a warrior, I still have to hone myself in life and death. Didn't you also tell me that this warm base city can't cultivate winter plums that stand proudly in the snow?"

Luo Feng answered without hesitation.

Jiang Nian was not surprised by his answer.

The two sides have known each other for several years, and Jiang Nian is naturally very clear about Luo Feng's personality. He has a strong desire for an adventurous life in his bones.

"Then which team do you want to choose?" Jiang Nian asked.

Generally speaking, members who have just become warriors do not have the power to actively choose a team - it is good enough to have a team willing to accept them!

But Luo Feng is not ordinary after all. He is able to enter the elite training camp without taking an exam, so of course he has privileges.

Of course, only the top leaders knew about this, and the Extreme Martial Arts School had already concealed some of the information Luo Feng had released to the outside world.

This is a form of protection for one's own geniuses, and any major force will take similar measures.

"Let's go with the Fire Hammer Squad that you recommended to me, Instructor. I'm just an ordinary warrior, so I'd better not try to be special and avoid getting myself into trouble."

Luo Feng said with a smile.
