"Are you sure it's here?" Wang Dadan asked in a low voice.
In front of the courtyard that left him with a lifelong psychological shadow, he truly didn't even dare speak loudly.
The landlord nodded: "Yes, it's here."
Wang Dadan took a deep breath, waved his large hand, and turned to leave.
Using the word "leave" isn't quite accurate; his rushed appearance was more like an escape.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, don't go." The landlord hurriedly caught up, looking puzzled.
Wang Dadan said seriously, "I will return the money to you, and also, let give you a piece of advice: it's best not to ss with the people living here."
With that, he pushed aside the obstructing landlord and hurriedly led his people toward the alley's exit.
But just at that mont, a black business car turned into the alley.
Wang Dadan and his group stepped aside in advance to make room on the road, but unexpectedly, the vehicle stopped not far from where they stood.
In the next instant, a familiar face popped out of the car and cheerfully said, "Aren't you that guy?"
"Hehehe, Brother Feng, Brother Feng." Wang Dadan forced a smile worse than crying and jogged over to Xiao Feng, appearing as submissive as if eting a father.
No!
Even when eting a father, one wouldn't be so eager.
"So you didn't have enough last ti and ca to practice with again?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.
"No, no, no!" Wang Dadan hurriedly shook his head to deny it, then scolded the landlord: "Hurry up and get over here!"
The landlord was stunned; he had, of course, seen Xiao Feng before.
But wasn't he an out-of-town tourist?
Why was Wang Dadan so courteous to him, even seemingly more fearful?
"Are you deaf, didn't you hear my boss call you?" one of Wang Dadan's henchn directly cursed at the landlord.
But right after cursing, he received a slap on the left cheek.
Wang Dadan glared with eyes wide open: "ntioning any boss in front of Brother Feng, Brother Feng is the real boss."
The henchman covered his face with an expression of extre grievance, yet had to bend over and nod in agreent.
Xiao Feng, annoyed, said: "Stop talking nonsense, then. Since you didn't co to practice with , why are you wandering around here, planning revenge?"
"Brother Feng, don't mock , I wouldn't dare have such thoughts." Wang Dadan hurriedly dragged the landlord over to explain: "It's all this bastard's doing. He said soone was troubling him and asked to straighten things out for him.
But who knew he'd bring here, Brother Feng, heaven knows, I can't hide from you fast enough, let alone run into the muzzle."
"Hiding from ?" Xiao Feng frowned, dissatisfied: "Am I a plague god?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not!" Wang Dadan imdiately began slapping his own face, saying, "It's my fault for having a loose tongue."
Xiao Feng wasn't interested in scaring him further, waved his hand, and said: "Hurry up and disappear with your people from my sight, or stay to practice with ."
On hearing this, Wang Dadan shivered, imdiately leading his people and sprinting toward the alley's entrance at a speed akin to a hundred-ter dash.
Opening the car door, Xiao Feng and Lin Zhiyan got out of the car, along with Zhou Jinshan, who was bound up.
The landlord was startled; daring such a "kidnapping" in broad daylight, just who did he rent the courtyard to?
"Here, here, smoke this." The landlord offered cigarettes with both hands.
Xiao Feng shook his head to decline, and gestured for Lin Zhiyan to drag Zhou Jinshan into the courtyard first.
"I rember your last na is Wu, right?" Xiao Feng put a hand on the landlord's shoulder and said: "I'm a reasonable person. I definitely won't leave abruptly after ssing up your house.
However, since you brought Wang Dadan over, I guess you didn't settle things?"
"Well..." The landlord felt his legs getting a bit wobbly and hurriedly said: "It's my fault, I made the terms too harsh, trying to blackmail so extra money, my mistake, I'm blind and didn't recognize who you are."
While speaking, the two had reached the courtyard entrance.
Inside, a little girl, upon seeing Xiao Feng, quickly ran out with an indignant look on her face, "Brother Xiao Feng, this guy was trying to swindle our money."
Saying that, she proceeded to narrate the incident that had just occurred to Xiao Feng.
After hearing the girl's account, Xiao Feng smiled at the landlord and kindly said: "Don't be nervous, we won't renege on the money we owe. Just na a fair price, how much is it?"
Xiao Feng didn't say anything threatening like "if you dare deceive , then this or that," because there was no longer any need.
Judging from the landlord's current state, he'd rather suffer a small loss than dare to overstate the price.
"E-e-eighty thousand... oh no, just fifty thousand will do." The landlord said, clearly lacking confidence.
Xiao Feng chuckled: "I'll give you a hundred thousand, no need to return the extra, and if it's insufficient, I'll make up the balance. Does that work?"
"That works, thank you, thank you!" The landlord said with a face full of gratitude.
"Hmph!" The little girl rolled her eyes.
Just a mont ago he wanted thirty thousand, showing a posture of not budging no matter what.
Yet now, receiving just ten thousand, he appeared deeply grateful.
People... really are cheap!
Xiao Feng didn't make an empty promise, he directly transferred the money to the landlord, sending him away, then briefly recounted Bi Quan's escape to everyone present.
At this mont, Zhao Guo'an walked out of the house with a phone and said: "Did you guys know? Just now, an unknown benefactor donated nearly 2.5 billion to an anti-trafficking organization, and it's already in the headlines."
Yet no one had much of a reaction.
Zhao Guo'an sighed, with an air of "tis have changed, people are no longer sincere," he said: "Indeed, even hitting the headlines, such a thing won't resonate strongly, nowhere near the buzz generated by celebrities with scandals."
"Do you know who made the donation?" Xiao Feng asked.
"How would I know?"
Xiao Feng calmly said: "I know who it is."
"What!" Zhao Guo'an widened his eyes in disbelief, "Don't tell it was you who donated it."
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "I'm seriously telling you that nearly 2.5 billion was transferred by personally."
"Whoa!" Zhao Guo'an was stunned.
"Don't get wrong, I only said I transferred it, not that it was my money." Xiao Feng said expressionlessly.
"I thought so." Zhao Guo'an looked understanding, then puzzled: "If it's not your money, then whose is it?
Bi Quan's?
No, wait, hasn't he already run off?"
Xiao Feng pointed to Zhou Jinshan, who was lying in the corner: "It's his."
Saying this, he recounted the events in the car to everyone.
"Brother Xiao Feng, what you did was truly admirable!" The little girl, like a fan-girl, placed her hands under her chin, blinked her big eyes and said: "Can I have your autograph?"
"Old Xiao, although I don't approve of you using soone else's money to gild yourself, I still want to say, well done!" Zhao Guo'an gave a thumbs up.
