Chapter 1221
“Hey, hey hey ……”
Ji Feng shouted several times without any echo, immediately after that, a busy tone came from the phone receiver, he couldn’t help but be stunned: “What is this girl up to, still such a windy nature, talking and hanging up ……”
This is a big stall not far from the Linjiang Club, Ji Feng, Ji Shaolei and He Hongwei, three people, are sitting in front of the table, in front of them, there are two big plates of mutton skewers, and some other grilled vegetables and other food, and under the table, are two cases of beer.
Although it is now early autumn, the weather is still very hot, so in the evening, everyone likes to have a barbecue and some beer, and the price is not very high, and the atmosphere is very good when a few people get together.
Especially when you get excited about drinking, you might even take off your T-shirt and talk and shout naked, which is much more fun than eating in some elegant restaurant.
Of course, especially the northerners love this kind of eating more, in contrast, not too much in the south.
When Ji Feng came here, the three of them also happened to see this roadside stall by chance, and there weren’t many people here.
So the three of them got out of the car directly and came to the stall, choosing a seat inside, so that even if they spoke a little louder here, there would definitely be no one deliberately listening.
What’s more, there was a white spider sitting at another table to prevent anyone from trying to eavesdrop or anyone with ill intent.
The three of them could talk here with great confidence.
“San’er, who is it?” Looking at Ji Feng’s very stunned expression, Ji Shaolei couldn’t help but ask.
“Li Ruonan, that’s Li Weidong’s sister who is a police officer.” Ji Feng said.
“Who?!”
Ji Shaolei was stunned, he looked at Ji Feng in amazement and asked with a surprised face, “San’er, when did you kid hook up with Li Ruo’nan again? Didn’t you say before that you were just ordinary friends? How come you’re still calling in the middle of the night?”
When he thought of Li Ruonan blocking Ji Feng’s way at the Linjiang Club, Ji Shaolei had an idea.
This kid, San’er, is really quick and accurate, that Li Ruonan, if she had a better temper, she would really be a beauty, and she’s really attractive to men!
“Come on, second brother, how can I be in the mood to pull that right now!” The most important thing I’m concerned about now is the Zhao family you guys are talking about, what exactly is the origin of the family? Just one of their sons can kill me at will, but I can’t even retaliate?”
“Let’s not talk about that, have some wine to cool down first.” He Hongwei said smilingly, “Anyway, we have already come out, then whatever is left to say, we can talk slowly.”
He Hongwei first picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Ji Shaolei and Ji Feng respectively, before he smiled, “I’m not good at anything else, but I think there is one thing that is still very good. No matter how big things happen, my reaction is always a beat slower than others, so that way then, I seem more laid back.”
“That’s atmospheric of you!” Ji Feng said.
“Well, it’s barely!” Ji Shaolei gave his own a*sessment, discounting Ji Feng’s words.
He Hongwei then smiled, he knew very well that it was really rare to hear words of praise for himself from Ji Shaolei’s mouth, so he didn’t even care if what Ji Shaolei said was good or not.
“Atmospheric or not, let’s put this aside for now.” He Hongwei smiled and lifted his wine gla*s, clinked a gla*s with Ji Shaolei and the two of them, and laughed, “Anyway, I think that after reacting a beat slower than others, when something happens, instead, you can think calmly and do things more thoughtfully.”
“That’s what you’ve learned?” Ji Feng tilted his head and drank down a gla*s of beer, and then asked with a smile.
“It can barely be considered my insight, but it’s actually just a way of dealing with people in the world!” He Hongwei laughed, “I used to be very quick-tempered, but ever since I had a setback at university, I’ve become like this, and slowly, I’ve come to realise that this way is still beneficial.”
Ji Feng then smiled as he nodded and said, “Indeed, each way has its own unique benefits.”
He understood the meaning of He Hongwei’s words very well, the so-called setback he had received at the university was actually when he was counted once by Wu Zhiyong because of the matter of women.
Of course, what exactly happened in between then, Ji Feng didn’t know.
But now it seems that He Hongwei has been still nostalgic until now, it is obvious that that incident at the beginning did not give him a small damage, otherwise, with He Hongwei’s level, his realm, how else could he be nostalgic all the time?
“Alright, the wine has been drunk, it’s time to talk, right?” Ji Feng asked after clinking another gla*s with He Hongwei, tilting his head and drinking it down, before putting down the gla*s again.
“Actually, ah, not only do I know about this matter, but Shao Lei should also know about it, right Shao Lei?” He Hongwei nodded and asked Ji Shaolei again, “The elders at home should have told you about it too, right?”
“Indeed they did, but I was away from Yanjing for a long time and almost forgot all about it.” Ji Shaolei shook his head and said, “Besides, you are also a few years older than me, so you should know more than me, so it’s better for you to speak.”
“Fine, then I will speak!”
He Hongwei nodded slightly and said, “Actually, what I know isn’t very clear, especially the exact story of what happened, I don’t think anyone other than the generation that experienced it first hand will ever know it better than them, so I’ll just briefly talk about it, okay?”
Ji Feng frowned slightly, “I haven’t found you to be so full of crap before!”
“You kid ……,” He Hongwei then couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “The reason I’m talking all this nonsense is because I want you to be mentally prepared first. Well, actually things have to start from decades ago ……”
“Wait a minute, you’re telling stories to coax children?” Ji Feng frowned: “I don’t have that much time right now to keep you guys company with this nonsense, if you don’t have something that can impress me, then I have things to do!”
Ji Feng was a bit anxious, now that Chang Chongwei had been beaten by him. If Chang Chongwei really had any powerful background, then once the other party knew about this matter, they would definitely make some moves overnight. Naturally, Ji Feng could not lag behind, he had to use the shortest time to let the leaders of Jiangnan Province know that there was a huge problem with the Chang Group, causing them to pay great attention to it.
In this way, Ji Feng first of all has the initiative, and it is a complete initiative, in this way, he will also be invincible.
However, if he foolishly wasted his time on such idle bullSh*t, that would be foolish.
Therefore, Ji Feng did not save face with He Hongwei at all, but said directly.
In fact, after experiencing this matter, his friendship with He Hongwei had become closer instead, and all those face or no face had become secondary, although in other dude circles, maybe face was the most important, and many people couldn’t live without it. But, for him, it was all unimportant.
“Can’t you kid have some patience!” He Hongwei shook his head and laughed bitterly, “I was just saying that I’m all half a beat slower than others in my reactions and can’t be considerate?”
“Pah!”
Ji Feng directly took out a few banknotes from his pocket and slapped them on the table.
“San’er, don’t be anxious, Old He is just rubbing your nerves, so that you can get your anger down first!” Ji Shaolei said.
“I’m not angry, say something quickly!” Ji Feng said somewhat helplessly. Even if he had fire in his heart, he was still thinking about how to vent that fire, like how to stomp Chang Chongwei to death without losing his mind.
“Things really have to start decades ago, remember the turmoil`s upheaval, right?” Seeing that Ji Feng’s character was really too tough, He Hongwei also gave up his intention to drag it out any further and finally started talking.
“The turmoil`s decades ago?” Ji Feng was stunned, then nodded his head. Of course he knew what He Hongwei was talking about, it was a big movement that swept the whole country, no one would not know about it.
“At that time, during that big movement that swept the whole country, many people were criticized and sent to the frontier or to certain places where the conditions were very hard, to labor and reform, to receive some kind of baptism ……” He Hongwei said. “I don’t know how many people died in the labor camp, anyway, the situation at that time we have not seen with our own eyes, but only through imagination ……”
Ji Feng frowned, how is this thing still linked to something so long ago?
“In fact, this is the crux of the matter, because at that time there was a head of the labor camp, to the then several old generals are very respectful, so then, he had successively in the dark respectively to those several old generals quite a lot of help, only to let them all survive, and finally had a frightening without danger to survive that calamity!”
“The person in charge of that labor camp, surnamed Zhao?” Ji Feng immediately realised what was going on and asked at once.
He Hongwei looked at Ji Feng and nodded his head, “Now, you understand, right?”
“Understood!”
Ji Feng nodded slightly, “That person in charge surnamed Zhao, I guess, is someone from the Zhao family?”
This was the only explanation that made sense, why an unknown Zhao family would have so much influence in Yanjing, even the He family was afraid of them, and He Hongwei had such a good relationship with Chang Chongwei!
There was only one reason for this, someone from the Zhao family had given some help to many big shots who were in trouble, although the help might not be great, it was very rare and valuable, because that little help might have caused those big shots to be helped through the difficult times and survive when they were about to be killed or starved to death.
This is a great favour!
Chapter 1222
After listening to He Hongwei finish the reason for this, Ji Feng couldn’t help but be silent, his brow furrowed.
The people of the Zhao family had a kindness, or rather, an indirect kindness, to certain old generals, and this reason alone was enough to give the Zhao family full influence, even if the Zhao family was nothing, but as long as those old generals gave face, everyone had to give face!
Obviously, since those old generals from decades ago have survived, their influence, prestige, and even the power of the family today is simply overshadowing.
And in that case, if Ji Feng moved the Zhao family’s people, that would undoubtedly be tantamount to having a problem with those several families!
“Hehe ……”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, but there was no hint of laughter in his eyes, “It’s really a big deal, actually so many old generals protecting them, no wonder the Zhao family’s people dare to be so reckless and can mobilize people from the special department ……”
The first thing you can do is to take a look at the situation.
If you really dare to do that, not to mention the several old generals at the same time, even if one of them said a word, it would be enough for you to suffer!
Such consequences really had to be considered.
It was also with this in mind that He Hongwei stopped Ji Feng in every possible way, telling him not to be impulsive and never to act recklessly, which would only make things worse and even put Ji Feng in an extremely pa*sive situation, after all, no matter how powerful the Ji family was, it could not overshadow the sky with one hand.
The first time he did it, he was going to kill him. Fortunately, it was in the Linjiang clubhouse, in public, so Ji Feng was not able to kill him, so he only broke two of Chang Chongwei’s arms, otherwise, Chang Chongwei would have become a nameless corpse in the gutter!
This kind of thing, Ji Feng can definitely do, don’t look at him all day long smiling and laughing, launch ruthlessly everyone must be afraid of a little bit!
“The first thing you need to do is to call your second uncle ……” Ji Shaolei saw that Ji Feng was silent, so he knew that Ji Feng had some scruples. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
If he couldn’t even protect his own brother, then he wouldn’t have to be an elder brother, he could just go home and hug his children!
“Second brother, what are you talking about!”
When Ji Feng heard what Ji Shaolei said, he frowned and waved his hand violently, interrupting him, “What’s the point of calling second uncle? Take the initiative to take responsibility and say that you started it all, that Chang Chongwei was also beaten up by you, and that it has nothing to do with me at all?”
“This is the best way, brother my bad reputation is already known to everyone, adding it to me is no big deal ……,” Ji Shaolei said smilingly.
“BullSh*t!”
Ji Feng snapped and swept his palm across, the beer bottle was cut off raw by him, the fracture was smooth as a mirror, neater and smoother than a gla*s knife cut.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
…… Is this still a human hand?
Ji Feng, however, did not think so, he took the bottle and poured wine for Ji Shaolei and He Hongwei, before he said indifferently, “I have said long ago, no matter who he Chang Chongwei is, even if he is the king of the heavens, I will beat him up, some things can be compromised, but, there are many things that I will not compromise even if I die!”
He lifted his gla*s and grinned, “Being bullied but not being able to fight back, that’s not my character, unless I die, otherwise, no one will be able to bully me and insult my girlfriend at will again!”
After saying that, he tilted his head and drained the wine in his hand in one gulp.
He Hongwei and Ji Shaolei looked at each other with some oddity in their eyes, did Ji Feng really know so little about lightness?
“Ji Feng, do you know who those old generals were who had been helped by the Zhao family back then!” Seeing that Ji Feng didn’t buy it at all, and even stirred up that high and unyielding fighting spirit in his heart instead, He Hongwei couldn’t help but ask.
“Tell me.” Ji Feng said.
“At that time, the person in charge of that labor camp was the old man of the Zhao family, and at that time, there happened to be several old generals who had been in that labor camp for a period of time for labor reform, the names of these people, name them, you must be familiar with them!” He Hongwei said, wiggling his finger in his gla*s, and then wrote a few words on the table.
武、向、何、刘……
He Hongwei erased one after writing one, then wrote again, and in the end, he wrote a total of eight words.
Ji Feng then understood, obviously, each of these words, are surnames, that is to say, this old man of the Zhao family, had helped the Wu family, Xiang family, He family, Liu family …… and so on, which means that once Ji Feng moved Chang Chongwei, that is undoubtedly going against so many families!
This is really stirring up the sky!
The fact that these families, which almost covered the top few families in Yanjing, as well as some second and third-rate families, almost covered all of the influential families in the whole of Yanjing!
“There’s still one more family!”
He Hongwei glanced at Ji Feng and wrote down another word on the table – Ji!
Again, the Ji family was included!
As He Hongwei wrote out these words one by one, Ji Shaolei’s face couldn’t help but change a little, and a cautious look appeared in his eyes, but Ji Feng couldn’t see the slightest change on his face, as if he didn’t even realize what these words represented, or rather, it was as if he didn’t see these words at all!
“Zhao Guosheng is the old man of the Zhao family?” Ji Feng suddenly asked.
“…… is not!”
He Hongwei was stunned, then shook his head slightly and said, “The old man of the Zhao family left early, Zhao Guosheng is the eldest son of the Zhao family, and is also the current head of the Zhao family, now he is the director of the Central Office Department, Chang Chongwei is his son.”
“So that’s how it is ……” Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked again, “Then, when inside the labor camp, how did the oldest son of the Zhao family help those old generals? ”
“This …… I’m not too sure, after all, that era has pa*sed decades ago, I wasn’t even born then, so how could I possibly know?!” He Hongwei shook his head, “What I know now is only what I heard from the elders in my family.”
“I’m the same, I’m afraid that only those involved back then know exactly what happened.” Ji Shaolei said, and then, he asked strangely, “San’er, why are you asking this? Could it be that you suspect that the matter of the Zhao family’s old man helping those old generals …… is a fake?”
Ji Shaolei still knew this cousin of his very well, this kid seemed very polite, but in fact, he had a skeptical attitude towards many things in his heart, and it was hard to approve of a person, or a thing.
Just look at him from the time he came to Jiangzhou until now, how many people can really make him consider as friends?
Even Duan Peng, Ji Feng still for his own sake, only to accept him, but usually can never contact with Duan Peng, he still did not take Duan Peng as a friend.
With a personality like his, it was normal to suspect this matter, so the first thing that came to Ji Shaolei’s mind was that it was likely that Ji Feng didn’t quite believe in this matter.
“That’s not very likely, is it?!”
He Hongwei smiled and was immediately surprised, “This is absolutely impossible, but it’s not just our family, Shao Lei has likewise heard about it, I believe the Wu family, Xiang family and other families should have heard about it, so many old masters can’t all be lying, right?”
“I didn’t say they were lying!” Ji Feng shook his head and asked again, “Then are there any other reasons besides that?”
“…… What reason?!” He Hongwei was slightly stunned.
“The reason you stopped me.” Ji Feng said, “It can’t be because the Zhao family has helped so many families before that I can’t go against the children of the Zhao family?”
“Isn’t this reason enough?!” He Hongwei asked in surprise, “Older brother, you have to get it right, this is not an ordinary small favour, the madness of that era is something we have no way of understanding, at that time, losing your life was just a matter of minutes, so this is definitely not a small favour, do you understand?”
“Understood!”
Ji Feng nodded his head and asked again, “Then how do you know it must be a life-saving grace? Did your family elders say it to you personally? Or did your family’s elder say it himself?”
“This …… is not true.” He Hongwei was suddenly slightly stunned, “But ……”
“Don’t but not but!”
Ji Feng shook his head and said indifferently, “No matter how the Zhao family has helped other families, that’s their business and has little to do with me. The things that Chang Chongwei has done, I likewise won’t count on the Zhao family. However, whoever wants to use the Zhao family to oppress me is wrong!”
He had a very bright smile on his face, however, there was not even a hint of laughter in his eyes, it was very cold: “I have said long ago, no matter who the other party is, they can’t attack and kill me and then insult my girlfriend and end up doing nothing at all instead, I still can’t move him …… such a thing, in me doesn’t hold up!”
“Ji Feng, you can’t be impulsive, things have been made clear to you, how can you still ……”
“No need to say more!”
Ji Feng directly interrupted Chang Chongwei’s words, and he said forcefully, “Chang Chongwei, this B*****d, I must move him, and I’m determined to do so! If you are a friend, then help out with ideas on how to beat him to death with a stick without causing widespread strife, as for words of dissuasion, there is no need to say anything, I don’t want to hear words from my own friends’ mouths that stand in my way!”
