Qi Xiaohua finally turned around and looked at Lin Feng with a meaningful smile. After a few seconds, she said, "Lin Feng, I'm very grateful to you for saving my daughter, but I don't want you to get involved in our family's business anymore. I don't want you to provoke the Brotherhood's members. If you provoke them, they will only be more vicious to our family. Don't make our family more miserable with your self-righteous behavior!"
Lu Zhan had been watching them without saying anything. At that moment, he quietly pulled Lin Feng out of the office. Lu Zhan asked Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, do you really know Nian Lingjiao?"
Lin Feng nodded and said seriously, "Do I look like I'm joking? Not only do I know her, but she also knows me. I just don't know why she lost her memory."
Lu Zhan saw Lin Feng's serious expression and knew Lin Feng's style of doing things, so he chose to believe Lin Feng. Lu Zhan said, "Two days ago, I told you that I was going on a business trip to Lin Hai City to do a task. At that time, you could go with me."
Lu Zhan's meaning couldn't be clearer. How could Lin Feng not understand it? Since Qi Xiaohua looked down on him, why not go to Lin Hai City to investigate the matter first? If he could get rid of the threat of the Brotherhood, wouldn't Nian Lingjiao be safe?!
Lin Feng nodded and asked, "When will you go to Lin Hai?"
"According to the schedule, it should be in three days. But we can leave in advance. How about tomorrow?"
When they entered the office again, Nian Lingjiao's father had filled out the form and was introducing the situation to Captain Zhang. Their conversation immediately attracted Lin Feng's attention because they were talking about Nian Lingjiao!
"Mr. Zhang, your daughter's mental state doesn't seem to be very stable. When she first came to us, she couldn't even remember her own name. I hope you can pay more attention to her after you bring her back. Don't let her go out and risk her life again," Captain Zhang said to Zhang Desheng.
Zhang Desheng frowned and nodded. Then, he sighed softly. "Sigh, so our Lingjiao isn't like this. She went to university last year, but something happened to her in less than two months. I heard that she went on an outing with her classmates and her head was grazed by a meteorite that fell from the sky. Since then, she has been talking nonsense, crying and throwing a tantrum. She even kept saying that her surname was Nian, not Zhang. Finally, she started running away from home intermittently …"
When Zhang Desheng mentioned meteorites, Lin Feng's interest was piqued. He walked over and interrupted, "Mister Zhang, where are the meteorites you mentioned?"
Zhang Desheng looked at Lin Feng in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Are you a meteorite lover?"
"No, no. I just think that there's something strange about this matter. Maybe we can find some clues from the meteorite. Was there anyone else who was hit by the meteorite?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes, there were a few of them who went out together. One of them was also injured."
"Then who was the other person? Is she mentally ill now? "Lin Feng hurriedly asked.
Zhang Desheng's face darkened when he heard Lin Feng say the words "mentally ill." Although he knew that his daughter was indeed a little mentally ill, he didn't want others to think so.
"Young man, my daughter is not mentally ill. She was just frightened, that's all. I don't know anything about the other person. As for the meteorite, I heard that it was taken away by the local astronomy bureau. I can't tell you anything else. "Zhang Desheng gave a vague answer and then ignored Lin Feng.
Seeing that Lin Feng was in an awkward situation, Captain Zhang hurriedly tried to smooth things over for Lin Feng. "Mister Zhang, this time it's all thanks to Mister Lin Feng. If he didn't help, I'm afraid that your daughter would have already been taken away by the Brotherhood!"
After Captain Zhang's reminder, Zhang Desheng also felt that he was a little too stingy. After all, Lin Feng was his daughter's savior. Zhang Desheng squeezed out an awkward smile and said to Lin Feng, "Mister Lin Feng, I really have to thank you for this time. I won't say nice words, but I can give you a reward as thanks. How much is it?"
Zhang Desheng was very direct. As a businessman who mingled in the business world all year round, he was already used to using money to settle everything.
Looking at Lin Feng, although he was handsome and spoke in a very refined manner, from the way he dressed, Zhang Desheng could tell that he didn't have a high standard of living. Therefore, Zhang Desheng felt that giving Lin Feng money was the most practical way to thank him.
"Hehe, I don't lack money," Lin Feng said lightly.
Zhang Desheng was calculating in his heart. Should he give Lin Feng a hundred thousand or one million according to the previous bounty?
Nian Lingjiao had been missing for more than a month. Zhang Desheng had put up a missing person notice and promised to give a million as thanks. However, when he saw Lin Feng's clothes, he couldn't help but lower the level of the reward in his heart. He thought that he could get rid of Lin Feng with just a hundred thousand!
First of all, Zhang Desheng had the mentality of looking down on people. He felt that for a poor person like Lin Feng, a hundred thousand would be more than enough to make him happy. Second of all, he wanted to be lucky. After all, Lin Feng might not have seen the bounty notice. If he could spend less money, he would!
This was the treachery of a businessman. However, he didn't think that Lin Feng would directly say that he didn't want money. This was completely out of Zhang Desheng's expectations.
Even if you lost a kitten, puppy, or pet, the person who returned it would usually ask for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Lin Feng's behavior made Zhang Desheng feel guilty towards Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin Feng, I will definitely give you this as thanks. Three hundred thousand is enough for you to buy a house in Jiangnan City," Zhang Desheng said as he observed Lin Feng's expression.
However, to his disappointment, Lin Feng's expression didn't change at all. There wasn't a trace of surprise or excitement on his face. It was as if the three hundred thousand had nothing to do with Lin Feng!
Captain Zhang, who was standing next to Lin Feng, had a look of envy on his face. Three hundred thousand was not a small amount for an ordinary worker. According to Lin Feng's current monthly salary of two thousand five hundred, even if he didn't eat or drink, he would still have to save up for ten years!
However, Lin Feng didn't show any excitement. This kind of behavior was really different from ordinary people. If this person couldn't see the small amount of money, then this person must be sick in the head!
"Mr. Zhang, I've already said that I won't take your money. After all, your daughter and I are friends. Helping friends is my responsibility. You can keep this money to help your daughter pay off the Brotherhood's debt. A few billion dollars of usury, a little is a little!" Lin Feng deliberately said this, trying to bring the topic to the Brotherhood's meeting.
Sure enough, after Zhang Desheng's expression of shock, he fell into silence. Captain Zhang followed Lin Feng's words and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I was just about to ask you this question. How did you get that one billion dollars of usury?"
Zhang Desheng shook his head and said, "Ai, this is a long story!"
Then Zhang Desheng told the story. Just a year ago, an evil force suddenly appeared in Lin Hai City. They claimed to be members of the Brotherhood and went around extorting merchants and entrepreneurs. Zhang Desheng, as one of the richest people in Lin Hai, naturally became their first target!
In addition, Zhang Desheng had a bad hobby. He liked to gamble, but not for money. He liked to bet on underground horse races. But Zhang Desheng didn't expect that his every move had long been watched!
The Brotherhood had long controlled the underground horse race. The people inside were all their members. Finally, they got the opportunity and set a trap for Zhang Desheng, making him lose five million in one go!
Five million was not a lot for Zhang Desheng at that time. He could easily take it out, but the problem was that Zhang Desheng was a little afraid of his wife. He didn't dare to openly take money from the company, and the Brotherhood's people were pressuring him. So, he held a wishful thinking and borrowed from the usury!
Once he borrowed five million from the usury, he could no longer make a comeback!
Step by step, Zhang Desheng was dragged into a bottomless abyss. Not only was his own business mortgaged to the Brotherhood bit by bit, but he also owed more than a billion dollars, which he was no longer able to repay!
After listening to Zhang Desheng's story, Captain Zhang frowned. Although everyone knew about this scam, it was not so easy to solve it, because there was a contract in black and white, and there were all kinds of forces involved. Even the police couldn't figure out the whole story!
"Mr. Zhang, what is the background of the Brotherhood?" Lin Feng asked Zhang Desheng after listening. Zhang Desheng blankly shook his head and said: "No one knows the specifics of their background, but it's true that they are extremely powerful. I'm not the only one in Lin Hai who has been schemed against by them. Until now, no one has dared to say anything!"
Lin Feng had already understood. In fact, this so-called billions of usury was just a scam. He should not have paid it back!
At this time, Qi Xiaohua and Nian Lingjiao came over. They looked at Lin Feng and Lu Zhan, and then said to Zhang Desheng, "Why are you still here? Hurry up and leave."
Zhang Desheng smiled awkwardly at everyone and said, "Then I will leave first."
Nian Lingjiao seemed to have recovered a little at this time. The initial fear had also passed. She looked at Lin Feng with a little shyness in her eyes. Nian Lingjiao took the initiative to come over, stretched out her hand and said, "Thank you."
Lin Feng hurriedly stretched out his hand and wanted to shake Nian Lingjiao's hand, but Qi Xiaohua suddenly pulled Nian Lingjiao and urged, "Xiao Jiao, hurry up and leave. It's late!"
Lin Feng's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, and Nian Lingjiao was directly pulled away by Qi Xiaohua. After watching them go out, Lu Zhan finally couldn't help but spit and said, "This woman is really a bit of a snob. We saved her daughter, but she is so rude to us!"
