Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 37: You Think You Deserve It?

This time everyone invited Yuan Tiangang to dinner, how many people attended?

The number of attendees had long been reported to the shopkeeper.

So the chairs were arranged to fit perfectly.

Even because Jiang Feng was personally named by Yuan Tiangang, his seat was specially arranged near Yuan Tiangang. Unexpectedly, the last chair was stepped on by Yuan Tiangang.

Li Minhe wanted to get up and give the chair to Jiang Feng when he saw this.

He knew Jiang Feng had Han Dong’s identity token, but feeling the gazes around him, he could only sit back down.

Jiang Feng understood that Yuan Tiangang was targeting him, trying to embarrass him.

But at the critical moment, he remained calm.

He even smiled and said, "Commander Yuan, being able to annihilate the rebel faction this time and maintain the prison’s reputation is all thanks to your bravery in killing the enemy. I have great admiration for you, and this is a small token of my appreciation."

Saying this, Jiang Feng took out a mink coat.

"Wow, Prison Chief Jiang, this coat is made of top-grade mink fur! It must be expensive!"

A captain exclaimed.

"My lords, it’s nothing much, this coat isn’t worth much money. The reward I received was just enough to buy it."

Jiang Feng said with a simple, honest expression.

"That’s a hundred and fifty taels."

Everyone looked surprised.

They all knew that a hundred and fifty taels was no small amount, especially since Jiang Feng was just a prison chief, and he really spared no expense to please Yuan Tiangang.

"Commander Yuan, I hope you won’t dislike it."

Jiang Feng presented the mink coat with both hands.

"Very thoughtful, it just so happens that the nanny at my residence is weak, I’ll take this coat back to give to her for the winter, I thank you on her behalf."

Commander Yuan took it and casually tossed it aside.

The room fell silent again.

Yuan Tiangang’s attitude made everyone realize that he didn’t call Jiang Feng over to get close to him, but rather to make fun of him.

For a moment.

Everyone turned their heads away, not wanting to look at Jiang Feng.

"Who will go get a stool from the door so Prison Chief Jiang can sit?"

Yuan Tiangang asked, clearly having a chair at his feet but refusing to let Jiang Feng sit.

No one made a sound.

Li Minhe wanted to go, but could only pretend not to know at the moment.

"I’ll go myself."

Jiang Feng, with a big smile, ran to the door and brought in a stool.

"Everyone make some room for Prison Chief Jiang."

Yuan Tiangang laughed.

So everyone shuffled their chairs to make space for Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng sat next to Li Minhe and another captain named Lin Weiping, who made noises of discontent, looking disdainful.

"Commander Yuan, if it wasn’t for you this time, killing the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect and throwing the rebel faction into chaos, I guarantee that our Zhenbei Prison would have definitely fallen. We’re able to receive a reward this time thanks to your bravery in killing the enemy. So this cup, I’ll down it first in respect, and in the future, if you need anything, I, Mr. Hu, am at your service!"

The one speaking was the First Layer Chief Hu.

On the day the rebel faction hijacked the prison, he stayed with the Prison Director.

He didn’t take risks but gained a lot of benefits.

As he spoke, he downed a full cup of strong liquor in one gulp.

"Chief Hu, you’re being too serious, from now on we’re brothers."

Yuan Tiangang got up, patted Chief Hu on the shoulder, and also downed the strong liquor in his glass. Chief Hu, flattered, quickly poured himself another full glass, letting the alcohol hit him, not daring to use his Qi Blood to refine it.

"Commander Yuan, you are our benefactor, our lucky star, I..."

Chief Hu sat down, and another supervisor stood up, delivering an impassioned speech, praising Yuan Tiangang to the skies.

After that person sat down, another supervisor named Lei Laohu imitated them, and when they all finished, the other captains took turns toasting Yuan Tiangang, each delivering heartfelt speeches, some even shedding tears, treating Yuan Tiangang as if he were their savior, without any sense of shame as they spoke.

Once all the captains finished toasting.

Jiang Feng also wanted to toast Yuan Tiangang, to show his sincerity.

But the present supervisors and captains all saw that Yuan Tiangang didn’t like Jiang Feng, and when they saw Jiang Feng raising his glass, they immediately changed the subject, not giving Jiang Feng a chance to toast. After about an hour, when everyone was dead drunk, Jiang Feng finally found an opportunity to go to Yuan Tiangang to toast him.

"Commander Yuan, I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you, everything is in this wine, I’ll drink first in respect."

Jiang Feng raised his head, intending to down the wine.

"Bang!"

But Yuan Tiangang snatched away the wine glass from his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

The loud noise startled everyone.

Whether drunk or not, everyone seemed to sober up.

"Go back and sit down."

Yuan Tiangang said.

"Yes."

Jiang Feng obediently returned to his small stool.

"Do you all know what Commander Han said to me this morning when I returned to Zhenbei Prison and went to see him?"

Yuan Tiangang shook off the effects of the alcohol, glancing around the room.

Everyone shook their heads, looking confused.

In his heart, Jiang Feng was shouting how bad things were.

He could already see that Yuan Tiangang was a very sensitive person at heart, having finally become the Vice Commander of the Zhenbei Prison, he perhaps still felt it was all a dream, afraid that all of his honors would be stolen overnight.

This caused his hostility to deepen.

Han Dong’s words truly doomed him.

"Commander Han said that the death of the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect was suspicious, that someone used a poison needle at the crucial moment to help me kill the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect, and that person is you, Jiang Feng, bang! Jiang Feng, do you admit it?"

Yuan Tiangang said slowly, but when he reached the end, he slammed the table, causing the food and wine to jump, and with an outburst of momentum, pointed quickly at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked flustered, hurriedly standing up, and said: "Commander Yuan, you must be mistaken. How could I have the ability to deal with the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect? You personally killed the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect, and it was witnessed by me and everyone else!"

"Hmph, how dare a little prison chief stand and talk to Commander Yuan."

Chief Hu snapped.

At last, they all understood why Yuan Tiangang called Jiang Feng over and humiliated him in front of everyone.

"How dare you compete with Commander Yuan for credit!"

The Second Layer Chief, Lei Laohu, shouted angrily.

"I dare not!"

Jiang Feng hurriedly bowed deeply.

He knew he had to endure at this moment!

But the insult from Yuan Tiangang was something he must eventually avenge!

At that moment, those present looked at Jiang Feng with disdain, unwilling to offend Yuan Tiangang over a prison chief.

"Prison Chief Jiang, if you admit now that you had a hand in the death of the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect, I and the esteemed individuals here will jointly petition the Lord Director of the Prison for your credit!"

Yuan Tiangang sneered.

"Lord, how could I, with my humble abilities, have killed the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect? Please, esteemed individuals, verify the truth!"

Jiang Feng knew he could not admit to it.

"Bang!"

"Just you, worthy of us suspecting you had the ability to kill the Young Master of the Red Lotus Sect!"

Lei Laohu stood up, swiftly walked over, and kicked Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng rolled back two rounds, his head smashing against the threshold.

An identity token fell out from his chest.

Lei Laohu’s arrogant expression froze instantly.
