Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 583 - 389: Bouncing Back Again

"Rumble, rumble."

Just when the atmosphere in the booth was extremely tense, hurried footsteps approached from afar.

Guo Ju, dressed casually, was leading a few patrol officers quickly towards them, accompanied by a middle-aged man, who happened to be Brother Feng’s driver.

The patrol officers had actually arrived earlier but were stopped downstairs by Brother Feng’s driver. Due to his status, they didn’t dare to disobey and only followed up when Guo Ju arrived.

The driver quickened his pace, reached Brother Feng’s side first, and whispered a few words.

Brother Feng raised his hand, signaling for the other to step back, then turned his gaze towards the approaching Guo Ju.

With a forced smile, Guo Ju approached, his face plastered with a grin, "Director Zhang, you’re here too."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and upon seeing all the young masters present, he felt a headache; these were all people he couldn’t afford to provoke.

Kang Jianhong had only told him to come and protect someone named Qi Yun, without explaining the specifics of the situation.

As his gaze swept across the room and landed on Qi Yun, sitting composedly and smoking on the couch, his expression paused.

Why does this person look somewhat familiar?

He couldn’t remember Qi Yun, but Qi Yun recognized him instead.

A few days ago, when he was in Shanghai, he had dined at Wangjiang Pavilion with Old Wai and Shi Feng, and at that time, the troublemaker Brother Xiong had come to cause trouble, and it was precisely Guo Ju and that Miss Lu who had arrived.

"Hmm, I’m just gathering with friends here, so why have you come, Guo Ju?" Brother Feng asked with a half-smile.

Guo Ju wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with an accompanying smile, "Director Kang personally called me, instructing me to handle some things here."

He knew that even though he was personally present, he couldn’t intimidate these young masters, so he had to mention Kang Jianhong.

After hearing this, Brother Feng narrowed his eyes, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Uncle Song, it’s me, Little Feng."

"Hehe, hope I’m not disturbing your rest?"

"Ah, nothing really, just playing with friends at the bar and happened to see Guo Ju here too."

"Hmm, yes."

"Hehe, alright, let’s meet at your office some other day."

After hanging up the phone, Brother Feng turned to look at Guo Ju, his tone non-negotiable, "Guo Ju, you should head back."

Guo Ju was stunned for a moment, not daring to move immediately.

He was just the second in command, and the "Uncle Song" mentioned on the phone earlier was the first in command. Making this call in front of him was a very clear indication.

But even so, he didn’t dare to just leave.

Director Kang had specifically instructed him to come and protect Qi Yun, and now he wasn’t even sure who Qi Yun was. If he just walked away and something went wrong, he would surely be held accountable.

Guo Ju had no choice but to turn his pleading eyes toward Young Master Kang, hoping he could step in to share some of the pressure.

Young Master Kang gritted his teeth, hesitating as he spoke, "Brother Feng, can this matter be postponed, talk about it tomorrow, okay?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

This time, Brother Feng didn’t respond, crossing his legs and lighting a cigarette as well.

With his status, making that call earlier had already given Young Master Kang and Guo Ju an out, hinting for them not to get involved in this matter anymore.

The atmosphere instantly became silent, and no one spoke further.

Young Master Kang weighed the pros and cons for a while before signaling to Guo Ju to leave with him.

He originally wanted to resolve the matter amicably so as not to cause trouble for their families, but Brother Feng’s attitude was clear, and he was already sidelined, making it pointless to intervene further.

If a negative impact were to happen, even Brother Feng’s father would lose face.

Moreover, from his impression, Brother Feng had always been a rather steady person, so he felt the other party wouldn’t go too far.

Receiving Young Master Kang’s signal, Guo Ju felt like he had received amnesty, quickly taking his men and leaving.

A group of people reached the elevator entrance, where Young Master Kang called his father, informing him of the situation.

Unexpectedly, instead of feeling relieved, Kang Jianhong frowned even more after hearing it.

"I get it, you guys go ahead and leave."

Kang Jianhong said briefly before hanging up the phone, then found a spot to pull over his car, and immediately dialed Huang Zhiqiang’s number.

The appearance of Brother Feng had made the situation more severe, beyond his control...

Young Master Kang and Brother Feng were unaware of Qi Yun’s true connections behind the scenes.

In their eyes, this guy was just an ordinary person with some background, and even if rewarded, it wasn’t due to true resources or networks, so Ding Junkai and Brother Feng dared to act as they pleased.

But Kang Jianhong had heard from Huang Zhiqiang that Qi Yun was a protégé of Director Xiao, and the Xiao family, in particular, had more power than Brother Feng’s father...

They were destined for the very pinnacle...

So from his and Huang Zhiqiang’s perspective, they certainly didn’t want to see any conflict breaking out between the parties or for anything unexpected to happen to Qi Yun in their territory.

Even if the unexpected incident was unrelated to them.

The big shots only cared about the final outcome, not the process...

Once the call was connected, Kang Jianhong briefly explained the incident and then asked, "I’m heading over there now, what do you think?"

Huang Zhiqiang on the other end remained silent for a moment, pondering, "You don’t need to go, I’ll call Old Zhang personally."

Hearing this, Kang Jianhong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Old Zhang could call Junior Zhang back, things wouldn’t get out of hand.

...

Inside the bar, seeing Young Master Kang and Guo Ju leave, Ding Junkai visibly became more arrogant.

Before Brother Feng could speak, he impatiently jumped out, looking down at Qi Yun, "Qi, no one’s protecting you now? The account of you hitting me must be settled today!"

He thought with Brother Feng around, he could completely take control, finally regaining some pride.

Qi Yun glanced at him, the look in his eyes resembling one he’d give a stray dog barking furiously by the road.

This completely enraged Ding Junkai, who pointed at Qi Yun’s nose, angrily cursing, "You bastard, still acting all high and mighty?"

"Junkai." Brother Feng raised his hand, interrupting him, not minding Qi Yun’s attitude, and instead asking Ji Kai, "What’s your take on this?"

"For your sake, let him sincerely apologize, and Junkai can vent, then let’s call it a day."

Ji Kai laughed directly after hearing, leaning back on the sofa, "Apologizing is out of the question at all. If you want to resolve it, just go ahead, I’ll handle this for Brother Qi."

Originally, he didn’t want to escalate things too much, after all, everything these people did represented more than themselves, and it wouldn’t be a pretty sight if relations were completely torn apart.

But since Brother Feng was shielding Ding Junkai, insisting that Qi Yun apologize, Ji Kai lost any intention of de-escalating the tension.

Before taking on the role as Sky Shining Energy’s general manager, his uncle had reminded him to make sure to maintain a good relationship with Qi Yun, so naturally, there was no reason to back down now.
