After reassuring Yuling, Lin Feng stood there, waiting for someone to call the police. After all, he believed it was just his own fault for falling. Look at him, standing so upright.
Seeing that no matter how much he shouted, Lin Feng and his group remained where they were, Hong Dou was almost driven mad. She never expected that Lin Feng and the others would be so calm in this situation.
In a fit of anger, Hong Dou took out her phone and dialed the police station.
"Hello, I want to report an incident. My boyfriend is here and has been beaten up; he's almost unconscious! Please hurry, we need help!" Hong Dou was exaggerating; Hou Qian had only fallen down, suffering at most some minor injuries, yet she made it sound like he was on the verge of death.
"Lin Feng..." Seeing that the other party really called the police, Yuling became even more anxious and couldn't help but grip Lin Feng's hand tightly.
"Don't worry..." Feeling Yuling's tension through her grip, Lin Feng appreciated having such a beautiful girl holding his hand, but he knew this wasn't the time to let his thoughts wander; he could only offer her comfort.
After calming Yuling down, Lin Feng continued to stand there. After all, it was just because Hou Qian was in a hurry that he fell.
Finally, after Hong Dou embellished the story a bit more, she hung up the phone with a smug smile on her face. She probably thought that Lin Feng and his friends were doomed.
"You guys are finished; get ready to go to jail," Hong Dou said to Lin Feng and his group.
Lin Feng always believed that women were quite intelligent beings, but at this moment, he couldn't sense any wisdom or cleverness from this woman named Hong Dou. He really wanted to ask her to think carefully: even if the police came, would they really end up in jail just because Hou Qian fell?
The answer was obviously no. Not to mention whether Hou Qian's fall was caused by Lin Feng and his group; even if it were true, would they really go to jail for that?
What a case of being narrow-minded despite having a broad view; today, Lin Feng certainly learned about this phenomenon from a woman named Hong Dou.
There was no way around it; Lin Feng had never encountered a long-headed woman who was short on insight.
Lin Feng and his companions were waiting for the arrival of the police, while a few people were hiding in a car nearby, observing everything that was happening.
"Boss, the target might be in trouble. What should we do?" one of the men in the car asked the man who appeared to be the Boss.
"Third Brother, don't worry about it for now. Just remember, our mission is to protect our target from any harm. Therefore, anyone who wants to hurt our target is our enemy. Now, I will report the situation to Master and see what he has to say," the leader replied.
"Okay, got it. I'll keep watching," Third Brother understood the Boss's meaning and had no objections.
After hearing Third Brother's words, the Boss was already dialing a phone number.
"What’s going on?" The call was quickly connected, and on the other end was an elderly voice filled with authority. Knowing it was one of his subordinates calling, he asked directly.
"Yes, Head of the Family, the target has run into a bit of trouble. Here’s what happened," the Boss in the car respectfully reported the situation, clearly showing his utmost loyalty to the person on the other end of the line.
"Oh, Hou Qian? I don’t recall that name. Have you found out his background?" The person on the phone clearly had no impression of Hou Qian and inquired further.
"We’ve looked into it. This guy isn’t a good character; he’s involved in the jade business and is one of the invited guests this time," the leader continued with his report.
"Oh, contact the relevant personnel and resolve this minor issue. Continue to protect him, and let me know if anything comes up," Liu Lao instructed further, as he seemed to think that handling this matter would be easy and didn’t require his concern.
"Understood. Please rest assured, Head of the Family," the leader responded confidently after receiving instructions from Liu Lao.
"Alright, that will be all for now." The person on the other end prepared to hang up decisively.
"By the way, Master, should we remove Hou Qian from the invitation list?" At this moment, the leader seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Um, no need. Just handle this matter quietly. As long as Lin Feng is fine, I have other arrangements," Liu Lao said, clearly still contemplating something.
"Understood," the leader quickly grasped the master's intention and replied.
At that moment, Liu Lao had already hung up the phone.
"Grandpa, why don't we remove Hou Qian from the invitation list?" Just after Liu Lao hung up, a beautiful woman who had been massaging him asked.
This beauty was Liu Lao's beloved granddaughter—Liu Yanran.
"Hehe... Yanran, don't you know?" Liu Lao naturally didn't believe that his granddaughter, who seemed to have everything under control, would not understand his intentions. He chuckled and replied.
"Let me guess, you want to use Hou Qian to test Lin Feng's depth?" Liu Yanran smiled slightly and said.
"Hehe... Wasn't your purpose for holding this Jade Exhibition the same?" Liu Lao still did not answer directly but countered with a question.
"It seems that the saying 'the older the ginger, the spicier it is' is not without reason," Liu Yanran remarked, playfully joking with her grandpa.
"Yes, but old ginger must eventually be buried," Liu Lao said with a hint of melancholy after hearing Liu Yanran's words.
"If we really find that person, not only will our Liu Family become even more glorious, but Grandpa will also live a long life, right?" Liu Yanran continued her massage without stopping and mirrored her grandpa's earlier tone in her response.
"A long life? That's not something I aspire to. I only have two things left undone: one is to see you married to a good man who can take care of you in my stead; the other is regarding the future of the Liu Family. I don't want our family to start declining from my generation," Liu Lao slowly said after listening to Liu Yanran.
"I will find him, Grandpa, believe me." Liu Yanran responded confidently, as if she had been prepared for her grandfather's comments about her marriage all along, without feeling embarrassed.
"Hehe... Yes, our Yan'er has never let Grandpa down." Liu Lao said, looking at the confidence in his granddaughter's eyes.
While Grandpa and his granddaughter were thinking about the future of the Liu Family, Lin Feng had been waiting for a long time without seeing the police arrive.
"Huh? Why haven't the police come yet? Hou Qian, you might have to pretend to be dead for a while longer." With the abilities of a Doctor and powerful Mental Power from Tesla, Lin Feng didn't need to get too close to Hou Qian to know that he was indeed lying on the ground pretending to be dead. In fact, Lin Feng even suspected that Hou Qian had never actually fainted.
Lin Feng spoke loudly on purpose so that both Hou Qian and Hong Dou could hear him.
As this dragged on, Lin Feng was getting annoyed, and his tone reflected that.
"The police are too busy; if you have guts, just stand here and wait." Hong Dou had also been waiting for a long time without seeing the police arrive, but it was difficult for her to admit defeat.
"Hey... I said you can wait by yourself; we are busy and will leave now." Lin Feng naturally wouldn't wait any longer. Although he wasn't afraid, he was annoyed after standing on the street for over ten minutes while being pointed at. He certainly wasn't foolish enough to continue enduring this situation.
After saying that, Lin Feng walked away without waiting for Hong Dou's response; it would be ridiculous to expect her to agree.
"Hey..." As Lin Feng and the others walked further away, they had one principle: once they couldn't hear Hong Dou's voice anymore, they could leave; otherwise, they would have to endure her nagging.
"Lin Feng, is it appropriate for us to just leave like this?" Yuling asked, still experiencing this situation for the first time as they walked a few steps.
"We stayed there earlier because we weren't guilty. Since we're not guilty now, there's no need to worry about anything. But just because we're not guilty doesn't mean we're fools. Don't you find it annoying standing there?" Lin Feng replied as he walked.
"It is quite annoying. Alright then, let's not worry about it and continue shopping." With Lin Feng's words, Yuling felt relieved and suggested.
"I have no objections. Let's continue with our original plan and not let them change it," Lin Feng expressed his support for Yuling's suggestion.
"I have even fewer objections," Lin Feng had no issues, and Chen Sheng had even less to say. After all, they were there to buy clothes; it was just that their interest had been stirred by the exceptional couple, Hou Qian and Hong Dou.
"Well, let's go to another store," Yuling said, noticing that both men had no objections. She diligently completed her role as a guide, realizing that Lin Feng and Chen Sheng, being two big men, lacked any talent for choosing clothes and needed her help.
"Sure, we'll follow your lead. In this regard, you're the authority," Lin Feng joked, his mood unaffected by Hou Qian and Hong Dou.
"Yes, I am the authority. When it comes to choosing clothes, you should listen to my opinion," Lin Feng continued jokingly, and Yuling joined in the humor as the group continued shopping for their outfits.
In this way, Lin Feng bought a casual outfit, Yuling purchased an evening gown, and Chen Sheng also got a formal suit. As Chen Sheng put it, he was getting older, and formal attire suited him better.
Naturally, all these clothes were paid for by Lin Feng, totaling two hundred thousand. However, Lin Feng didn't mind at all.
"Lin Feng, is this outfit too expensive?" Yuling asked anxiously while holding the gown that cost around seventy to eighty thousand.
"Don't worry about it. This is necessary for the company. You look beautiful in that outfit. I can guarantee that tonight you'll be the center of attention. When everyone's eyes are on you, our Jade Store will also get noticed. So letting you wear something so stunning can be considered a business necessity," Lin Feng said with a mix of seriousness and jest.
In reality, thanks to Lin Feng's previous Gambling Stone venture, his store was quite popular now. His main purpose in bringing Yuling and Chen Sheng to the exhibition was to give them some exposure. Ideally, he hoped they could eventually take over managing everything related to the jade business for him; that was what Lin Feng truly wanted.
