Chapter 137: Finding Someone to Intercede

Chen Feng felt quite sympathetic towards Fang Xiaoyue, but sympathy was one thing; he really couldn’t help with this matter.

After thinking for a while, he still said truthfully, “It’s not that I won’t help you, it’s that I really don’t know any big shots. I don’t think you need to worry too much about this matter. That Wang Guowei should be reasonable, right? It’s true that you asked his son out, but he was hit by a car. You really can’t be blamed.”

“It’s not that I’m worrying for nothing,” Fang Xiaoyue sighed. “His parents really have a big problem with me. It can be said that they hate me very much, especially his mother. You don’t know, she called me this afternoon and cursed me very badly. She even threatened me to be careful when I walk in the future. Do you think I can not worry? Chen Feng, for the sake of our old classmates, you must help me this time.”

Chen Feng said with a bitter smile, “Aren’t you making things difficult for me? You’re from the county town. Your family’s connections should be wider than mine, a country person. Mobilize your relatives and friends to find connections. Maybe you’ll find someone who knows the Wang family. By the way, how did you get to know Wang Kangjian? It should be through an intermediary, right? You should find this intermediary to think of a way.”

Fang Xiaoyue said helplessly, “This intermediary is my aunt. She knows Wang Kangjian’s family’s nanny. Through his family’s nanny, she arranged for us to go on a blind date. What face can she have?”

This really didn’t have much face. After thinking for a while, Chen Feng could only comfort her, “You’re a state civil servant, after all. No matter how domineering the Wang family is, they won’t really do anything to you, right? Don’t worry.”

Fang Xiaoyue said with a bitter smile, “My status is really not enough in the eyes of the Wang family. They have ways to get me fired first, and then slowly deal with me. Don’t think of these rich people as too kind. Especially this Wang Guowei. His first pot of gold was earned from smuggling. Do you think he’s a good person?
I can’t joke with my future and my life. I must solve this matter as soon as possible. I’ve already looked for all my relatives and friends, and they don’t have any good ideas. My parents even said that they would take me to apologize at their door tomorrow. Even if I have to kneel and kowtow, I have to ask for their forgiveness. But I know it’s useless. I’ve thought about it, and probably only you might have a way. Chen Feng, help me, I’m begging you.”

“I… I really don’t know any important people myself. But a friend of mine might know. I’ll contact him and see, but I can’t guarantee it.”

Chen Feng was a soft-hearted person after all. Seeing her pitiful state, and the fact that she had helped him before, although that favor was considered repaid, the friendship of three years of being classmates could not be denied just like that. He was not that kind of person.

“Thank you! Thank you! Chen Feng, I knew you wouldn’t leave me to die,” Fang Xiaoyue said excitedly and gratefully.

Chen Feng quickly said, “Don’t thank me yet. Let’s talk about it after I’ve contacted him. Don’t have too high hopes.”

“…Alright then. You help me contact him first. No matter what, I believe in you.”

Fang Xiaoyue’s words were really…

Chen Feng didn’t say any more nonsense. He hung up the phone directly and then found Qin Zhen’s number and called him.

He could only think of Qin Zhen. However, he hadn’t told Fang Xiaoyue just now that Qin Zhen was also her classmate for three years. After all, it was still uncertain whether this matter would work out. He certainly couldn’t make things difficult for Qin Zhen.

And Chen Feng himself really didn’t have any connections in his hometown. Just as he had said just now, he was really a country person. His family had been farmers for generations. What big shots could he know in Linnan County?

But Qin Zhen was different. He was from the county town and was now in the system. He still had one or two relatives with some power in his family.

He had heard him mention it when they were chatting before. It seemed that his maternal uncle was a capable person. When he was young, he worked in the finance bureau. Later, he followed the trend and went into business. His business was also very good. He founded the first electronic equipment factory in the county at that time and made a lot of money. Later, his life had its ups and downs, and now he had a net worth of tens of millions.

Most importantly, this uncle of his had a wide network of connections in this area of Linnan County. He knew many people. If there was really something, everyone had to give him some face.

The phone was quickly connected. Chen Feng told Qin Zhen about the matter. Qin Zhen said very actively, “Why didn’t Xiaoyue look for me? I’m her old classmate of three years, after all.”

Chen Feng said unhappily, “How many words did you say to her when you were in school? And how many years have you not seen her? She probably doesn’t even know that you went to the army after college and are now a deputy director. She definitely doesn’t have your phone number.”

Qin Zhen chuckled, “That’s true. But you probably don’t know. Actually, my family lives quite close to her family. The two families know each other, but they’re not that close. So, she’s also my neighbor, and an old classmate. I’ll definitely help with this.”

“You’re very enthusiastic. What are you planning to do?” Chen Feng asked directly.

“Actually, I know Wang Kangjian. We were in the same school in junior high. He’s two years older than me and was a classmate of my cousin. They had a good relationship and often played together. My maternal uncle and his father, Wang Guowei, have known each other for decades. The two families have some connections.”

It was indeed his maternal uncle.

Chen Feng asked, “Are you sure?”

“I’m not sure. But this matter really can’t be blamed on Xiaoyue. It’s true that Xiaoyue asked him out, but didn’t the two of them separate later? Besides, even if the two of them didn’t separate and were together, and one of them was hit by a car, how can you blame the other person? It’s not like she was driving the car that hit him. The Wang family has no grounds in this matter.”

“The Wang family definitely has no grounds. They’re just looking for someone to vent their anger on now, and Fang Xiaoyue has been identified as the culprit by them. They’re focusing their anger on her. I’m just afraid that your maternal uncle’s face is not enough, or that they will agree on the surface but still retaliate against Xiaoyue behind her back.”

The two of them had always spoken so directly. Qin Zhen didn’t think Chen Feng’s words were unpleasant. He thought for a moment and said, “We have to try. If it doesn’t work, we’ll think of a way together. We’ll definitely help Xiaoyue with this.”

“You’re very enthusiastic about her. Could it be that you have some hidden story with her?” Chen Feng teased with a smile.

“What hidden story? I just said, she’s my neighbor and my old classmate. I’ll definitely help her if I can. Besides, didn’t you ask me for help? I have to give you face, right?”

“Damn! It’s like I owe you a favor.”

“Haha, it’s repaying your favor,” Qin Zhen said with a smile. “You’ve helped me make a lot of money. It’s only right that I repay you with a favor. The Huiji Eye Drops you recommended to me this time started to soar yesterday. Do you think I can not give you face?”

“Oh, it soared?” Chen Feng was a little surprised, but not very surprised. He was possessed by the European emperor. It would be strange if the stocks he bought didn’t rise. It was a little strange that it only soared yesterday.

“You don’t know?” Qin Zhen asked back in surprise.

“I don’t care about it after I buy it. I only look at it when I decide to sell it.”

“…You’re awesome!”

“Alright. You should pay attention to Fang Xiaoyue’s matter. Help if you can. Of course, if you think it’s too difficult, you don’t have to give me any face. After all, I don’t have that deep a relationship with Fang Xiaoyue. You’re my good friend and good brother, not her. Do you understand what I mean?”

“It’s just a matter of finding someone to intercede. It’s not as difficult as you think. I know what to do.”

“Alright then. How about I give Fang Xiaoyue your phone number and let her contact you?”

“No, no. Since you didn’t say it was me who was helping, then don’t say it. It’s embarrassing. I’m also afraid of trouble.”

“Then I’ll tell her after the matter is settled. After all, it’s you who helped. I can’t take your credit.”

“You’re really… what credit is there? Do I care about this?”

“OK. You don’t care, I care. Anyway, you help me get this done first.”

“Okay, then I’ll contact my maternal uncle later and ask him to help. I think my maternal uncle still has some face.”

“Yes, then let’s talk about it first.”

…

After hanging up, Chen Feng called Fang Xiaoyue again.

“How is it?” As soon as the phone was connected, Fang Xiaoyue asked anxiously, her expression tense.
“I’ve already contacted him. This friend of mine happens to have a relative who knows Wang Guowei. They’ve known each other for decades, and the two families have some connections. I just don’t know if Wang Guowei will give this relative of his face. There should be news tomorrow. You just have to wait patiently.”

“That’s great. Thank you, Chen Feng. I don’t know how to thank you. If this works out, you’ll have saved my life,” Fang Xiaoyue said with gratitude and excitement.

“It’s not done yet. Thank me after it’s done.”

“Whether it’s done or not, I owe you a big favor,” Fang Xiaoyue said sincerely.

“Alright. You don’t have to worry too much. Whether this works out or not, they probably won’t target you openly.”

“Sigh! I hope so.”

…

Chen Feng didn’t say much more to her. He comforted her with a few words and then ended the call.

He went back home, had a meal with Wu Mengting, and then chatted with his mother in the kitchen for a while before they went back to their rooms to rest.

However, when it was past ten o’clock at night, the small shop closed, and his parents had also gone back to their rooms. Chen Feng secretly went out and came to Lin Yujiao’s place.

Chen Feng had already told her on WeChat to go in through the back door of her rented shop. She had already left the door open for him.

The room she rented to sleep in was on the first floor. It was not big, only about ten square meters, and was connected to the clothing store in front.

After entering the room, Chen Feng was not too eager. He didn’t just get down to business. Instead, he held her and lay down together to talk for a while.

Lin Yujiao was very curious why Chen Feng didn’t accept a great beauty like Wu Mengting. Chen Feng said that he didn’t want to get married now, so he couldn’t give her the result she wanted. He could only fail her true feelings, otherwise he would be harming her.

Lin Yujiao said, “You can resist not making a move on her. It seems you really love her.”

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly denied, “How is that possible? I like her, but it can’t be called true love.”

Lin Yujiao shook her head and said, “If you don’t really love her, would you be able to resist not making a move on such a great beauty? You were very willing to make a move on me. You tried every means to sleep with me just two days after we met.”

Chen Feng thought to himself, I didn’t really try every means. It was you who mistakenly thought I had helped you a lot, and then it was successful.

“Don’t overthink it. I do like Mengting, but it’s not true love. I just didn’t make a move on her because I was afraid of trouble. I’m the one who truly loves you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried so hard to pursue you. I didn’t spend so much effort on Mengting. I spent all my effort on you.”

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Lin Yujiao finally smiled. She took the initiative to kiss him and said, “I know you’re lying, but I like to hear it.”

Chen Feng said with a wronged expression, “I’m really not lying. If I didn’t like you, how could I have spent so much effort pursuing you and even giving you thirty thousand yuan a month?”

Lin Yujiao said with a smile, “Alright, alright. I believe you.”

It was just that her tone was somewhat perfunctory.

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn’t really care about this. After all, he was indeed lying just now. He liked her, but how could it be called true love? After all, they had only known each other for a few days. It was more like lust at first sight.

Of course, thirty thousand a month to keep her was definitely a premium. But Chen Feng was willing, and he didn’t feel it was a loss. After inspecting the goods, it could even be said to be a great value.

One paid, and the other contributed their skills and body. It was consensual, very frank, and very reasonable.

At about one o’clock, Chen Feng secretly went back home and had a good dream all night.

The next morning, it started to rain. He couldn’t go for a morning run, and he couldn’t play in Haiwan Town. Chen Feng and Wu Mengting stayed at home.

After Wu Mengting finished breakfast, she took the initiative to go to the small shop in front to deepen her relationship with Zhao Xiaolan, while Chen Feng went to the room where she was sleeping now to look at the paintings and absorb energy.

Last night’s exercise with Lin Yujiao had made him feel a little weaker. Chen Feng guessed that it might be related to the fact that he hadn’t absorbed “art energy” yesterday and the day before.

So, he came to absorb it early this morning.

This thing was also a bit addictive. If he didn’t absorb it for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

---

While Chen Feng was enjoying his absorption, in the special care ward of Lu City’s First Hospital, Wang Kangjian was lying there with a look of despair, motionless, his eyes lifeless.

Beside him, his mother, Chu Xiaohong, was wiping her tears while comforting him, “Kangkang, don’t worry. The doctor said that as long as you insist on physical therapy and cooperate with the treatment, your legs will recover.”

Wang Kangjian was still motionless and did not respond.

Just as Chu Xiaohong was about to say more, Wang Guowei pushed the door open and walked in, his face a little gloomy.

“Guowei, come and persuade Kangkang.”

Wang Guowei ignored his wife’s words and just said to her with a sullen face, “Let’s just forget about that Fang Xiaoyue. Don’t make things difficult for her anymore.”

“What?!” Chu Xiaohong was immediately unhappy and said very angrily, “That bitch harmed our son like this. How can we just let it go?”

Wang Guowei sighed, “She asked Zhenguo to intercede, and Director Feng is also protecting her. She didn’t agree to find a reason to fire her.”

“Zhenguo? Old Ji?” Chu Xiaohong was a little surprised. “What’s his relationship with this bitch?”

“His nephew is her high school classmate. I heard they have a good relationship, and their families are neighbors. And his nephew is now a deputy director of a police station in Xiuzhou. He’s not even thirty yet, very young and promising. Old Ji and I have been friends for decades, and he has helped me a lot in the past. I have to give him and his nephew face. The same goes for Director Feng.”

“Then we’ll just let this bitch go?” Chu Xiaohong asked unwillingly.

“At least for a short time, we can’t make things difficult for her. Otherwise, it won’t look good for Old Ji and Director Feng.”

“…Alright, then we’ll let her go for now. But we must avenge our son in the future.”

Chu Xiaohong’s face was full of gritted teeth. Seeing this, Wang Guowei secretly shook his head. A doting mother spoils her son. His son had achieved nothing so far, was divorced, and had ended up like this. His mother was half responsible.
