Chapter 153: Righteousness Destroys Relationships!
Seeing the situation had spiraled out of control, Zhang Qinyao was extremely nervous, especially when she saw Nangong Qingcheng, who had been knocked senseless on the floor. Her heart twisted tightly!
People have feelings, and Nangong Qingcheng had always been kind to her. Even when Chu Feifei had been distancing herself, Qingcheng was the only one who still spoke to her. Now she had been slapped because of her, and Zhang Qinyao, no matter how stone-hearted, felt guilty.
Moreover, through this incident, Zhang Qinyao fully recognized Tang Fei's character. He was someone who would turn hostile at the drop of a hat. His gentlemanly demeanor was just a façade. A few years abroad and he had picked up the aggressive traits of an American macho man, doing things with no regard for the consequences.
Now it was Nangong Qingcheng lying on the ground. What about her? If she did something in the future that displeased Tang Fei, would she meet the same fate? Perhaps even worse because Tang Fei disliked her, making him even more ruthless in his actions!
"Fei... Brother Fei!" Zhang Qinyao said tremblingly to Tang Fei.
"Hmm?" Tang Fei, having just forced Liu Shiyuan to drink a sip of wine, looked at her impatiently upon hearing her voice, "What?"
"I, I want to use the bathroom." Zhang Qinyao forced a smile, pretending to be embarrassed.
"Go on, lazy ass has many needs." Tang Fei said disdainfully. Zhang Qinyao had no more use to him, so naturally, he had no patience left; all the sweet talk before had been lies.
Zhang Qinyao felt a stab in her heart again, lowered her head, and walked out dejectedly. As she passed by Qi Guangyu, she gave him a deep look, realizing now that Qi Guangyu hadn't been helping her but pushing her into the fire pit!
...
Leaving the private room alone, Zhang Qinyao quickly walked into the bathroom.
She stood in front of the sink, splashed her face with cold water, and patted her cheeks.
After a fierce struggle within herself, she finally took out her phone and dialed a number she never imagined she would ever call: "Hello, is this Jiang Feng?"
On the other end of the call, Jiang Feng was eating steamed soup dumplings at a small stall with Bai Zhiqing and Heizi. At lunchtime, Nangong Qingcheng had promised to bring Liu Shiyuan back for dinner, but she hadn't returned, so the three of them made do.
Jiang Feng was very surprised to receive Zhang Qinyao's call. "It's me. What's up?" he replied faintly.
"Jiang Feng, you need to come to the Hongyue Building by the back gate of the school quickly, something has happened to Qingcheng and Shiyan!" Zhang Qinyao gritted her teeth and said.
"What?" Jiang Feng immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up, asking, "What happened?"
Bai Zhiqing and Heizi, sitting nearby, were startled and looked at him in confusion.
"Originally, I invited Qingcheng and Shiyan for lunch, but a group came in, insisting they drink with them. They couldn't resist and now they're locked in a room..." Zhang Qinyao confessed hastily.
"They only wanted them to drink? They're locked in, how did you get out?" Jiang Feng hit the key point with his question.
Zhang Qinyao was immediately left speechless.
"Wait for me; I'll be there in ten minutes!" Jiang Feng said and hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Zhang Qinyao felt extremely nervous and frightened.
She didn't know why, but during the conversation with Jiang Feng, she felt a strong sense of oppression and suffocation, as if Jiang Feng's voice was a large hand squeezing her neck.
For the first time, she found Jiang Feng so terrifying, instilling a fear deep into her bones!
Moreover, she didn't expect Jiang Feng to be so shrewd, detecting the crux of the matter with just a few words?
She suddenly recalled Nangong Qingcheng's words, if Jiang Feng learned it was her who brought the two there, would he let her off lightly?
...
At the dumpling stall, Jiang Feng put down the phone, and Bai Zhiqing and Heizi stood up: "Brother, what happened?"
"Was it Zhang Qinyao calling?" Bai Zhiqing also asked. She hadn't interacted much with Zhang Qinyao but sensed from a few encounters that Zhang Qinyao wasn't an ordinary girl, full of scheming and clever tricks to manipulate others.
"There's some trouble with Qingcheng and Shiyan. You guys keep eating here; I'll go check." Jiang Feng said, then turned and left hastily.
"Trouble with Qingcheng and Shiyan?" Bai Zhiqing was startled upon hearing this.
Heizi hurried to catch up, shouting, "Brother, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
The already distant Jiang Feng waved his hand, quickly crossing the road and disappearing into the flow of traffic and people.
...
In the bathroom.
After calming herself for a while, Zhang Qinyao slowly walked out of the bathroom, heading to the restaurant entrance to wait for Jiang Feng.
She did not regret making that call to Jiang Feng; to her, it was not too late to fix a bad situation.
No matter how you put it, Tang Fei was only Tang Tianpeng's son, a gap existed between Tang Tianpeng and Chu Renxiong himself.
She wasn't stupid; if she had to offend one of them, it would definitely be Tang Fei. She wouldn't be dumb enough to completely fall out with Chu Feifei for Tang Fei!
This was her reason for "sacrificing the family for justice."
Soon, in just eight minutes, the windstorm-fast Jiang Feng arrived at the restaurant door. After seeing Zhang Qinyao, he walked up with long strides and asked directly, "Which room?"
"Upstairs, room 302, I'll show you!" Zhang Qinyao hurriedly ran up.
Jiang Feng, expressionless, didn't need her guidance and strode inside.
Zhang Qinyao's heart tightened, but she didn't dare say anything, hurriedly lowering her head and keeping up.
...
In room 302, Tang Fei had forcibly poured several glasses of liquor into Liu Shiyuan, making her cough uncontrollably with a flushed face, which Tang Fei and others found amusing, laughing loudly!
After teasing Liu Shiyuan, Tang Fei carried his glass and walked over to where Nangong Qingcheng lay on the floor, coldly smiling, "So, Miss Qingcheng, have you thought it through? Would you like to obediently get up and drink with me, or continue being stubborn and suffer?"
"Tang Fei, I promise you'll soon have trouble, big trouble!" At this moment, for some reason, Nangong Qingcheng thought of Jiang Feng, believing he would stand up for her!
"Hahaha, still so stubborn? Come, have a drink first, then we'll chat slowly. Let me see where your confidence comes from." Tang Fei smirked, placing the glass at Nangong Qingcheng's lips.
Nangong Qingcheng turned her head away, naturally refusing to drink.
"Drink! Or don't blame me for prying open your mouth!" Tang Fei angrily grabbed Nangong Qingcheng's delicate, pale chin, attempting to force the liquor into her mouth.
Just as Nangong Qingcheng felt humiliated, closing her eyes and bracing for the forced drink, suddenly, a loud "bang!!!!" rang out, and the door of the room was kicked open!
The whole door was kicked open, and the large door panel flew in, hitting two of the overseas-returnees, sending them flying and crashing to the ground, raising a chorus of wails and cries!
Everyone in the room was stunned, incredulously looking towards the doorway!
And there, they saw an iron-faced Jiang Feng standing!
The Heavenly God descends!
