Chapter 587: Respectful

Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Respectful

"You and Boss Lin are good friends, huh? Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Zhao Sanhu said with a sly smile as he walked up to Zhao Jin.

A smug look appeared on Zhao Jin’s face, as if everything was under his control, "Well, about Boss Lin and I..."

Before he could finish, there was a loud slap and Zhang Sanhu viciously slapped Zhao Jin, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

"You..." Zhao Jin, covering his cheek, glared furiously, "You dare to hit me? Would you believe I’ll call Boss Lin over here?"

Zhao Jin felt deeply humiliated. Clearly, this guy knew he was friends with Boss Lin, yet he still dared to hit him?

"Oh, call Boss Lin? I’m really scared!" Zhao Sanhu narrowed his eyes, "Go on then, call your esteemed Boss Lin now, see if he dares to show up in front of me—Zhao Sanhu!"

Zhao Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously asked, "Big brother, you and Boss Lin..."

Zhao Sanhu gave a mockingly gentle smile, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Your revered Boss Lin, not long ago, I beat him like a dog losing its home. This place no longer carries the surname Lin, it’s Zhao now—Zhao of Zhao Sanhu! You get it?"

Zhao Jin silently cursed his luck. Boss Lin was from the United Hearts Gang, how could he have lost the hotel too? Knowing this earlier, why would he have even tried to stick his neck out? Wasn’t this just asking for a beating?

"Big brother, big brother! This is a misunderstanding!" Zhao Jin said with a forced smile, "My relationship with Boss Lin was merely casual! I work at the Health Bureau. I conducted a health inspection for the hotel before, that’s why we had a little connection. Now that he’s no longer the boss here, I have no ties with him anymore!"

Zhao Jin subtly revealed his position, hoping it might persuade Zhao Sanhu to spare him.

"You’re from the Health Bureau?" True enough, upon learning Zhao Jin’s identity, Zhao Sanhu’s expression softened a bit. Since Zhao Jin had this status, Zhao Sanhu didn’t want to unnecessarily make an enemy.

Zhao Sanhu nodded, "Alright then, since you’re from the Health Bureau, you can stay out of this. Wait until I’ve dealt with these people!"

Zhao Jin quickly moved aside. His classmates had thought he could stand up for them, but now it seemed like Zhao Jin himself was in hot water, let alone help them!

"Let’s not drag this out too long!" Zhao Sanhu said indifferently, "Considering you’re a brave man, I’ll only break one of your legs. Which one do you want to keep?"

Zhang Zheng’s face turned extremely unsightly. He would rather lose hundreds of thousands of yuan than have a leg broken! But it was clear that these men were hardened by violence—what if angering them led to worse?

A defeated look spread across Zhang Zheng’s face. Since it was his fault that things had escalated, he should bear the consequences.

"I..." Just as Zhang Zheng was about to speak, his words were interrupted by a calm voice.

"That’s about enough, breaking someone’s leg isn’t something you do lightly! After all, haven’t you guys been unharmed?"

The crowd was surprised, not expecting someone to dare to oppose Zhao Sanhu at this moment. Weren’t they afraid of provoking him?

The other students, apart from a few who harbored some hope, the rest felt even more resentful!

"Heh, who’s speaking? Does anyone have an issue with my decision?" Zhao Sanhu asked, squinting his eyes.

At that moment, a male student pointed at Ling Feng and said, "Big Brother, he’s the one who said it, it was him! It has nothing to do with us!"

Zhao Sanhu followed the direction of the finger and shuddered involuntarily, hardly able to believe his eyes. How could Mr. Ling possibly be here?

Zhao Sanhu, a minor leader of the Flame Hall, was naturally familiar with Ling Feng’s appearance! In the Flame Hall, Ling Feng’s appearance was known to everyone!

Because if you offended Lady Wei, Lady Wei might not bother with you! But if you offended Mr. Ling, the entire Flame Hall would definitely not let you off!

So, upon seeing Ling Feng, Zhao Sanhu even wondered if he was hallucinating! How could Mr. Ling possibly appear here?

Zhao Sanhu was staring blankly at Ling Feng, which led Zhao Jin to misunderstand. Zhao Jin quickly stepped forward and said, "Ling Feng, you’re just a little security guard, and you have no place to speak here. Shut up right now! Do you want to drag everyone here down with you?"

"That’s right, you were hiding like a tortoise before, and now you come out pretending to be a hero!" a male student whispered, "What an emotionally intelligent remark!"

"Chu Ziling, you two shouldn’t involve everyone!" Chen Rou said bluntly, "If you have any responsibility, deal with the mess you started yourselves!"

Chen Fu frowned, feeling that Ling Feng was definitely not some brainless idiot. If he weren’t confident, how could he possibly speak out in this situation?

"I think Mr. Ling is ultimately looking out for everyone, right?" Chen Fu said, "Let’s not talk like this, after all, today’s events..."

"Class President, I know you fancy Chu Ziling, but now she’s already been through the mill! I can’t believe you’re still shamelessly defending her!" At this point, Chen Rou simply tore off her mask of hypocrisy and said coldly, "They’re just sleeping together, and to make matters worse, even if it was all about sleeping together, she wouldn’t choose you. Are you really going to keep speaking for them?"

Chen Fu was stunned, and so was everyone else, none could believe Chen Rou could be so blunt.

"Everyone shut up!" The noise was irritating Zhao Sanhu, and hearing their words, he was certain that this man was indeed Flame Hall’s most respected Mr. Ling!

As for why Mr. Ling was here? Seeing Chu Ziling next to Ling Feng, Zhao Sanhu understood everything. It was all because of the troubles brought by beloved women!

Zhao Sanhu walked towards Ling Feng while Chen Rou, with a hint of mockery and disdain, moved to one side; everyone else watched with complex expressions.

However, Zhao Sanhu did not act as everyone imagined. Instead, he bowed his head with a humble tone and said, "Mr. Ling? I am Hu Zi from the Flame Hall. It’s my great honor to meet you here today, a blessing indeed!"

Everyone was shocked. What was happening! The typically proud and arrogant Zhao Sanhu was now behaving like a reprimanded schoolboy, very obedient and polite!

"Is this also Flame Hall’s territory?" Ling Feng was surprised; he had not expected Flame Hall’s influence to extend so far.

Respectfully, Zhao Sanhu said, "It used to be the territory of the United Hearts Gang, but it was seized by our Flame Hall before!"

Ling Feng understood that at that time, with the two tigers clashing, the United Hearts Gang must have had quite a bit of their territory snatched by the Flame Hall!

"I never expected Meizi to actually be a little rich lady with considerable wealth!" Ling Feng thought, stroking his chin.
