Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 245: Escalation

With Zhang Jingyi unexpectedly speaking up for Xu Feng despite Hans Pangʼs clear indication of wanting to punish the latter, everyone was shocked.

Hans Pang himself was even more speechless.

As an elder, it was already humiliating enough that a brat like Xu Feng had verbally contested him, but now even Zhang Jingyi joined the fray.

To make things worse, it was beneath him to reprimand Zhang Jingyiʼs action, especially when she had two doting supporters, namely her father and brother.

Although he was not afraid of the Zhang Group, he was also not willing to offend them for a useless bastard like Hans Zhou. Other than his surname, there was nothing noteworthy about Hans Zhou.

Hans Zhou himself also understood this point. His status when compared to Zhang Jingyi was overwhelmingly huge.

”M-Miss Zhang, letʼs just forget about this incident. Weʼre all here to celebrate Elder Zhao Gaofuʼs birthday after all.” Hans Zhou said, wanting to defuse the situation.

Never did he expect the situation would escalate to such height when he was merely trying to push the blame on Xu Feng. At the same time, he canʼt help but despise the person who told him this was their way out.

Although he didnʼt know who it was, to instruct the Zhao Family security guards to heed their story meant that their identity was definitely not simple.

This was also why he and Lang Shan dared to continue with the false accusation to get away from the punishment from their family for brawling at the venue.

However, if they knew the situation would deteriorate to this outcome, then they would have chosen to be punished from the start.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jingyi didnʼt bother entertaining Hans Zhou. Instead, she turned her attention to Xu Feng, clearly letting him decide.

As for Hans Pang, he remained silent, mainly because he was starting to find the situation amiss.

A person with no background like Xu Feng, yet somehow got a gold invitation card. It was suspicious to not believe this situation was more than the eyes meet. In fact, he even began to suspect his dumb descendant was being used as a pawn.

”I can naturally let the two young masters go.” Xu Feng smiled, but before anyone could relax, he pointed at the security guards.

”But definitely not these guards.” He added.

”What?”

Almost everyone was left aghast by Xu Fengʼs statement. He was letting go of the accuser, but not the eyewitnesses?

Contrary to their belief that Xu Feng was afraid of offending the rich and went to the guards who had low status to vent, he continued with a fierce remark.

”Now tell me, who instructed you to give false accusations to support the two young mastersʼ claim? This is my first time here, but somehow you can pinpoint me directly?”

”Only a few people have gold invitation cards. How could I not recognize you?”

”That is indeed true, but then again, why would I taunt them if that was the case?” Xu Feng pressed further.

The guard who responded earlier merely smirked. ”A lowly person like you got the prestigious invitation card, so of course, you feel the need to boast around.”

ʼGotcha.ʼ Xu Feng inwardly sneered. The guard thought his answer was great, but he made one big mistake.

How did he know he wasnʼt of great status if that was their first encounter?

Previously, even Hans Zhou and Lang Shan gossiped about him being some hidden family heir.

It was clear that they had no clue about his identity, but after a while, they started pointing their fingers at him, seemingly certain he had no background whatsoever.

Sure, they could easily investigate him with their power, but why would they do that?

At this point, it was obvious that someone was fanning the flame and orchestrating this play. They also wanted to use this incident to cause trouble for Zhao Kai, but their plan was foiled because he had taken up the stand, gathering all the aggro to him.

Now, not a single person even mentioned Zhao Kai, who was currently being held back by Zhao Xin on the side from his instruction.

”Everyone heard this guard say my status is inferior, right?” Xu Feng turned his attention to the crowd, ignoring the guard. ”Then let me ask you this one question. Would you know about it just based on my appearance alone?”

The moment he asked that question, he flexed his suit, and these wealthy people with their high standards instantly knew the suit was a luxury kind.

As they scrutinized Xu Feng further, they realized his demeanor and aura were not a bit lacking at all.

They didnʼt admit it outright, but their expressions already said it all. They would definitely believe Xu Feng was someone of their stature and not some poor bumpkin. Even Hans Pang kept quiet, his eyes darting back and forth between Xu Feng and Hans Zhou.

When he realized Xu Feng looked more noble than Hans Zhou, he merely snorted lightly.

However, the show didnʼt end just there as Xu Feng continued with his statement, not caring whether anyone answered his question or not.

”Now I donʼt want to waste anyoneʼs time anymore. These guards are clearly instructed by someone— someone who has enough status to command them and also know about my identity.” Xu Feng dropped the bomb, instantly causing the crowd to turn silent.

What he stated meant that this mess was orchestrated by someone from the Zhao Family, supposedly one with a high status.

Shock filled among the guests, including Hans Pang, who didnʼt expect the latter to have such courage. Now he didnʼt feel that humiliated, considering how Xu Feng didnʼt even plan on giving face to the Zhao Family.

The same goes for Zhang Jingyi, who finally realized Xu Fengʼs personality was just like that, blunt and straightforward. He didnʼt mince his words and would speak whatever was on his mind.

”This Feng is really causing a mess for me.” Zhao Xin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache.

”How is he causing a mess?” Zhao Kai interjected, feeling Xu Feng was amazing. ”Heʼs just trying to catch the piece of shit that was framing us!”
