Fishing Livestream

Yue Feng had just finished lunch a little after one thirty when a call came from Leng Xiaojun, less than ten minutes after seeing the full-face picture screenshot.

Yue Feng squinted his eyes and pressed the answer button: "Hello, this is Yue Feng!"

"Yue, this is Leng Xiaojun!"

"What's up? First Lao Hu called me asking about the situation, and then right after, you call me? Pleading for that kid Xiaogang under you?" Yue Feng had no patience for small talk and got straight to the point.

Upon hearing Yue Feng's words, Leng Xiaojun felt a pang in his heart.

Has Yue Feng already found out about Xiaogang?

"Consider it pleading! I just took Xiaogang with Lao Hu to turn himself in and complete the statement! It's completely our fault, we didn't properly manage our team, and Xiaogang did something stupid in a moment of rashness. Whatever punishment, we'll accept it! Please, for the sake of our past relations, give the kid a chance!"

Leng Xiaojun, who rarely bowed his head to others, was humbly pleading for the first time.

"Give the kid a chance? Who's going to give Xiaomin a chance? To put it bluntly, those trainees under you are nothing compared to Xiaomin. There's no discussion possible here; no one can change this!" With that, Yue Feng hung up the phone.

Leng Xiaojun stared at the disconnected phone screen for a few seconds, still in shock that the usually polite Yue Feng gave him no face today, almost to the point of cursing.

Steadying himself, Leng Xiaojun called his master, Deng Gang.

After explaining the situation, Deng Gang said he understood and would contact Yue Feng to try to resolve the matter openly.

In less than an hour, Yue Feng received several calls, from Fishing Association leaders, reputable peers in the fishing gear industry alliance, and even Old Master Hua.

If it were just from peers or respected seniors like Teacher Hua, Yue Feng might have been less angry, but receiving a call from high-level leaders of the Fishing Association felt like an attempt to pressure him with authority, which was infuriating.

On usual days, Yue Feng might have reconsidered, but this time he was resolute.

No matter who tried to plead, Yue Feng refused to back down, his response was unified: the grudge was deep, and unless the opposing side received the highest penalty, it wouldn't be over!

In response to the Fishing Association leaders' call, Yue Feng made a surprising threat, if Xiaomin's finger recovery does not meet expectations, Tianyuan might as well quit the business!

Now, even Deng Gang, the big shot on that side, hadn't called directly, and worse, they were trying to apply pressure through high-level officials within the system to resolve the issue.

To put it bluntly, they didn't respect Yue Feng's team at all, and they did not consider Yue Feng as someone on equal footing with Deng Gang.

The mediator relayed the phone conversation verbatim to Deng Gang, who initially wanted to downplay the issue but became furious after hearing Yue Feng's "bold language".

"It's just a conflict among trainees, no deaths involved, at most a few years in prison, and Yue Feng dares to threaten that Tianyuan should cease all operations?"

The flamboyant and proud Master Deng Gang, after hearing this, immediately stated, if reconciliation is impossible, we won't try anymore!

Hire the best criminal defense lawyer team to defend Xiaogang! Take the lawsuit to the end, and thoroughly investigate the earlier incident of Zhu Lin being beaten with a black stick!

If you don't give me face, then we'll both go down together!

Furthermore, Tianyuan Fishing Tackle's official account announced its withdrawal from the Fishing Gear Industry Alliance Organization!

Suddenly, the once calm fishing gear industry circle had become tense and bizarre.

...

Beijing, Tiantan Hospital.

Yue Feng received the latest news from a friend, his eyes cold and daunting.

"Xiaomin, let your sister-in-law watch over here. I'll go back and complete the formalities for the police report, and if there's a chance, I'll get revenge for you! You just rest and recover well!"

At this moment, an anger surged within Yue Feng, and if he had a knife in his hands, he might dare to take an eye for an eye!

"Brother... let it go! Things have come to this, let's wait for the court's decision! Tianyuan is a big company after all, there's too much at stake!" Wang Xiaomin said with a complex look in his eyes.

The more understanding Wang Xiaomin was, the more uncomfortable Yue Feng felt in his heart. A promising talent was severely ruined, with recovery remains uncertain; this was the heaviest blow since the establishment of Yue Feng's club.

"Don't worry about it! Just focus on getting better, I'll handle the rest! Brother Zheng, come with me! Captain Han, there's not much you can do here, the club league is just around the corner, let's head back together!"

Han Luofeng nodded: "Alright, let's head back! Deng Gang from Tianyuan is really furious, his influence is significant both within and outside the circle, I'll go back and discuss with the old man, let's make sure we're not taken by surprise!"

Yue Feng sneered coldly: "Surprised? Deng Gang should act like a senior if he wants to talk about experience and face!

Such a big matter, and he didn't even make a personal call! He can't even distinguish right from wrong and shields his cronies while pressuring me with leaders, there's nothing to say!

With Deng Gang's attitude, either Yuefeng Fishing Tackle or Tianyuan has to go down this time! I'll issue a challenge to Tianyuan once we're back!"

...

That afternoon, Yue Feng, together with Zhao Zheng and Han Luofeng, took a flight back, with Han Luofeng returning to the club, while Yue Feng and Zhao Zheng returned to Han City to complete the police report formalities.

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, Yue Feng publicly released the details of the entire incident on his personal livestream account, the company's official WeChat account, and personal WeChat Moments, and issued an open challenge to Tianyuan Fishing Tackle team and its soul figure Deng Gang.

In the upcoming club league final, Yue Feng would personally lead the team to a decisive showdown with the Tianyuan team!

Besides just issuing the challenge, Yue Feng also added an extra wager, that after the conclusion of the league, he would directly challenge the enduring icon of the fishing world, Deng Gang himself!

If Yue Feng Fishing Tackle loses, he will dissolve the company, shut down accounts, and permanently exit the fishing gear circle!

Once the challenge was made public, it immediately created a huge stir in the Taiwan Fishing competitive circle.

On one side was the newly crowned Fishing King, a rising dark horse team.

On the other was the prominent domestic top-tier giant Tianyuan Fishing Tackle, led by Deng Gang, a Fishing King for nearly two decades with countless disciples and bases.

The club league final hadn't even started yet, but the excitement and buzz had already been stirred up.

Facing the challenge from this young leader Yue Feng, Deng Gang responded the following morning.

"Also a Fishing King, but Yue Feng hasn't even secured the lowest Third Level Competitive Fishing Master title yet, he is not qualified to be my opponent! Want to challenge me? Then get a Competitive Fishing Master rating first!"

Deng Gang's response was like pouring oil onto a blazing fire.
