Those people exchanged glances, obviously considering whether to speak or not.
"It's already come to this, there's nothing that can't be said now. Everyone should just come clean."
"Let me speak then. Someone gave us money to come here. They said that as long as we cause trouble and make sure your restaurant can't function, they would pay us."
"Who is this person?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
"We don't know, as long as we get the money, we don't care."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "This answer is quite unsatisfactory. I think you should stay here until I know who sent you. Then I'll let you go."
"Please, big brother, we really don't know."
"Yes, we're just small fry, we don't even get the money."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright then, just call the person who sent you here, I'll ask him myself."
"Boss, you must be joking, that person won't come."
"Whether he comes or not is your matter, letting you go or not is my matter," Ling Zhenfei said, his face full of anger.
This matter had to be pursued to the end, or else who knows how many more people would dare to cause trouble at Xi Shan Restaurant in the future.
"Then can we make a call at least?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Sure, of course you can make a call."
Ling Zhenfei knew the purpose of their call; one possibility was to actually contact the person who hired them. Another reason might be to call for help.
To Ling Zhenfei, it didn't matter, regardless of who came, if he didn't want to release them, no one could leave.
After a short while, they heard the sound of several cars arriving outside, and then a group of people walked in. Those lying on the ground became excited, knowing that someone had come to rescue them.
"Where's the boss here? Get out here now." The leader's aura was obviously different. As he entered the restaurant, he started yelling.
A group of henchmen followed in, instantly blocking the whole restaurant.
The henchmen lying on the ground all got up and ran over to the leader.
"Boss, it's him, this guy is really tough."
"Boss, Ma Feng had his leg broken by him, you have to avenge us."
"Yeah, boss, you have to make him pay up."
"I think we should break his legs, let him know our strength."
But as soon as the boss walked in and saw Ling Zhenfei, he didn't say anything.
When he heard his henchmen complaining to him, the boss slapped the face of the one in front of him.
"All of you, shut up."
Everyone had no idea what was going on, but no one dared to speak. They all wanted to know what was wrong with their boss.
Then they saw the boss walk towards Ling Zhenfei. When he reached Ling Zhenfei, he pulled out a cigarette and offered it to him, then lit it for him.
Ling Zhenfei nodded, and the boss finally said, "Brother, sorry, there seems to be some misunderstanding."
Everyone was stunned, the henchmen were stunned, and Jiang Hui, Zhou Tong, and others were also stunned, not understanding what was happening.
Ling Zhenfei took a couple of puffs of the cigarette and said, "Liang Tian, I find that your people are getting more and more unruly. They'll take any job these days."
This boss was none other than the Third Boss of the Triad, Liang Tian, who had crossed paths with Ling Zhenfei many times before. Back when Zhou Jian's dealership was surrounded, it was Liang Tian who led the group, and he was defeated by Ling Zhenfei. Subsequently, Ling Zhenfei also defeated Liang Zhaolong and Lei Tian of the Triad.
Especially when they fought the top boss, Lei Tian, in the former bar that preceded Xi Shan Restaurant. After that incident, Lei Tian had said that Ling Zhenfei's matters were their matters and all he had to do was say the word.
After that day, Ling Zhenfei had no further dealings with the Triad, until now, today when he saw Liang Tian again.
Liang Tian smiled and said, "Brother, really a misunderstanding. After this bar was torn down, I thought it had changed owners. What's this, brother, you're opening a restaurant now?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's right, this restaurant is mine. It's on your turf, still thinking of bullying me?"
"Brother, you jest. If anyone dares to cause trouble in your restaurant, just let me know. I'll twist their heads off and kick them like a ball."
Liang Tian, in his thirties, called Ling Zhenfei, who was in his twenties, brother, which spoke volumes of Ling Zhenfei's strength. Those who had been lying on the ground now felt cold in their hearts, realizing the severity of the situation.
No one expected that this was the Triad's turf, but still an ironclad relationship existed.
Liang Tian yelled at the culprits, "Get over here, all of you!"
The culprits walked over trembling, some weak-kneed with fear.
"Big brother, we really didn't know. We realized we were wrong."
"Wrong about what? No nonsense, just tell me what happened, who sent you," Liang Tian said angrily.
"Boss, it was someone named Jiang, but we don't know the specifics."
"A Jiang, you mean Manager Jiang from Fengming Group?" Liang Tian asked.
"Don't know, just know his surname is Jiang, you even had dinner with him."
Liang Tian's eyebrows shot up, and he said to Ling Zhenfei, "Brother, it's someone from Fengming Group, I know this Jiang, had dinner with him a few times. This time he bypassed me to hire them."
Ling Zhenfei had already suspected it was the Fengming Group, and now it was confirmed.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, since we know who's behind this, take your people and go."
Liang Tian looked around, seeing the chaos from the earlier fight, with a table overturned and its contents broken.
"Broke Brother Ling's things, can't let that slide. Didn't that Jiang guy pay you? Leave all the money for Brother Ling and scram."
Those people had nothing to say, left the money, and hauled the guy with the broken leg away.
Liang Tian walked up to Ling Zhenfei and said, "Brother, why don't we treat you to dinner tonight? Last time, my big brother wanted to treat you, but you declined. Now, we're close by."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Never mind the dinner, but tell your two brothers, I'm opening on the tenth, make sure they come."
"Alright, no problem, we'll definitely be there on the tenth."
After saying this, Liang Tian left with his people, leaving only the Xi Shan Restaurant staff.
Ling Zhenfei's expression finally eased, and Zhou Tong and Jiang Hui hurried to tidy up, setting the tilted table straight and rearranging the chairs and tables.
Ling Zhenfei then picked up the phone and called Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun quickly answered the call.
"Hello, Zhenfei, what's up?"
