The wine flowed freely for three rounds.
Both Ling Feng and his brother had excellent drinking capacities, and moreover, they were no longer ordinary people.
How could they get drunk so quickly?
Four bottles of Maotai had already been consumed.
And just fifteen minutes after the manager and his companion had left, the door was knocked on again.
Ling Feng naturally paid no mind. Ling Yan, however, his face flushed and neck bulging, turned his head to look, a hint of worry in his voice, "Who is it?"
"Come in!"
Ji Yunyue, however, directly called for them to enter. With their senses, how could they not know who was outside?
There was no need to waste any more time here.
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit with slicked-back hair walked in.
"Excuse me, sorry to disturb you..."
He started with a smile, but upon seeing the corpse of Hong Chunjiu on the floor, his chest caved in and his death grimly tragic, his face instantly turned ashen.
"Are you the owner here?"
Ling Feng put down his wine glass and asked.
The middle-aged man in the suit quickly turned around, "Heh, yes, I am the owner here. My name is Chen Long. And you, sir?"
"My surname is Ling!"
Ling Feng didn't reveal his full name. He merely turned to look at the owner, Chen Long, and casually said, "I killed him. You can notify his family to come and collect the body!"
"This..." Chen Long wore a wry smile. "Heh, Mr. Ling, you must be from out of town, right? Hong Chunjiu's father is Hong Bao, a local who does business with fishing boats. He has quite some influence. If you do this, it might..."
Ling Feng didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, interrupting him indifferently, "What? So I'll just eat and leave, and you'll handle the matter?"
"No, Mr. Ling, since you are willing to take responsibility for this matter, I, Chen Long, will naturally not say another word!"
Chen Long quickly nodded at Ling Feng. At this moment, he had confirmed one thing: Ling Feng truly feared no Hong Bao!
However, Chen Long was somewhat apprehensive. After all, he ran a hotel business. The main focus here was seafood specialties from the coast. Hong Bao, who dealt in fishing boats, controlled many of them. The fishermen under him, and the fish markets, were all under his sway.
If the man learned that his son had died here, his business here would be ruined from then on.
Chen Long had been outside. Upon hearing about this incident after returning, he had rushed over. His hurried arrival was for one purpose:
To prevent Ling Feng and his companions from leaving just like that!
Otherwise, that would be the most troublesome outcome!
However, Chen Long hadn't expected that Ling Feng would actually offer to meet Hong Bao, which had initially made him somewhat incredulous.
But now, he naturally called to notify them with pleasure. This matter had to be resolved tonight, no matter what, or else he, Chen Long, wouldn't be able to clean up the mess!
After Chen Long made the call, he handed the phone directly to the manager beside him.
The manager was so scared he almost wet his pants.
But did he dare disobey his boss?
After receiving a glare from Chen Long, he took the phone to the side and explained the entire situation that had occurred.
A sound akin to a pig being slaughtered immediately erupted from the other end of the phone.
It was evident that the person on the other end was completely enraged and wanted to kill.
"Mr. Hong, please come quickly. The person hasn't left yet..."
The manager could no longer bear the pressure and said this before hanging up the phone!
He then turned and handed the phone back to Chen Long.
Chen Long glared at the manager, as if blaming him for wasting too much time.
He then turned back to Ling Feng with a smile and nodded, "Mr. Ling, his family has already been notified to collect the body. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll..."
Ling Feng naturally understood what Chen Long meant.
If Hong Bao arrived and saw his son truly dead at Chen Long's establishment, he would undoubtedly vent his anger on Chen Long.
The most sensible choice for Chen Long at this moment was to slip away!
Ling Feng didn't dwell on it. He merely said casually, "Desserts."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay. What would Mr. Ling like to eat? Inform the kitchen to send it over quickly. Tonight, all your expenses here are on the house!"
Chen Long was stunned for a moment at first, but he quickly came to his senses and began calling out to those around him.
The group of subordinates dared not disobey. They all nodded repeatedly at Chen Long and went off to handle the task.
However, in their hearts, they were thinking, why would they still serve dishes at this point?!
This Ling Feng was clearly seeking death. When Hong Bao arrived, wouldn't the dishes served be wasted here?
But, they were merely subordinates, and their perspective couldn't compare to that of their boss, Chen Long.
What Chen Long hoped to see most now was for Ling Feng to deal with Hong Bao as well!
Only then could this matter be completely suppressed today!
If Ling Feng were to be dealt with by Hong Bao, then Chen Long would still have to provide an explanation for Hong Chunjiu's death. Perhaps Hong Bao, in his rage, wouldn't know what actions he might take against their hotel!
At that point, it would truly be disastrous!
Therefore, they were now serving Ling Feng and his companions with good food and drinks.
The manager from before had also mentioned that Ling Feng could incinerate someone into ashes with a flick of his finger. Whether it was some divine technique or superpowers from a movie,
As long as it could resolve Hong Bao, it was awesome!
Ling Feng's unwillingness to reveal his identity was irrelevant. As long as the matter could be resolved, let alone treating Ling Feng to a meal,
He wouldn't even mind giving Ling Feng money!
As dish after dish was served.
The storm outside grew increasingly fierce.
The manager stood behind Ling Feng, trembling slightly, and looked at the raging storm outside the terrace, shaking his head with a wry smile, "This typhoon is coming soon. I doubt Hong Bao will be able to make it. Mr. Ling, perhaps you should..."
Although the man didn't finish his sentence, Ling Feng's opinion of him improved.
At least this fellow didn't have the malicious intent of Chen Long, who had already fled. This man was still concerned about Ling Feng's safety and hoped that Ling Feng would escape first!
However, how could Ling Feng escape?
"If you're scared, you can go down first. You don't need to explain anything about what happens here!"
The manager was stunned by the words, then his face lit up with joy. He bowed repeatedly to Ling Feng, "Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Ling. If you need anything, just call me! I'll be next door!"
Ling Feng didn't reply, merely waving his hand casually.
The manager hurried out.
Ling Feng and his brother continued drinking. Ji Yunyue's pretty face also showed a slight blush. The wine in her cup had been replaced with water. She couldn't help but turn her head to look out at the sea!
The waves were surging, and the white spray was rising high!
Ji Yunyue even frowned slightly. Could this trigger a massive tsunami?
If so, it would be a disaster for the surrounding fishermen!
Looking at the fishing boats docked in the harbor, Ji Yunyue shook her head. If the typhoon was too strong, those fishing boats would likely be finished too!
