Chapter 487: Chapter 0487: Fight evil with evil3_1

Despite his deep hatred, Shen Feihong did not retaliate right away.

He had just met with Zhou Yulan and Zhao Mingfang had an accident. Anyone would suspect him. Now, his most important task was to court his future in-laws, get along well with Zhou Yulan, and feed her well to fatten her up a bit, else a gust of wind might blow her away, and he wouldn’t catch up on his bicycle.

However, during Zhou Yulan’s time with Shen Feihong, all the rumors vanished overnight. The majority of people greeted Zhou’s parents and Zhou Yulan with beaming smiles, as if they had never spoken ill of them before.

"Bullies are cowards!" Feng Qingxue clicked her tongue.

Shen Feihong was a villain, hence ordinary people feared him.

Cheng’s parents sighed, "It’s human nature! But it’s also good, as some people need to be taught a lesson. They think the world belongs to those like them, granting them the freedom to do whatever they please. Isn’t Zhao Mingfang just relying on her father, the district’s political commissar, while Zhou Yulan’s parents are mere workers? If her father wasn’t an official, would she dare to be so arrogant?"

"We’ve begun a secret investigation of Zhao Yide," Cheng Baoguo said. The Committee for Discipline Inspection had received an anonymous letter reporting on Zhao Yide.

Wang Cuilan was quite happy for Zhou Yulan. In her eyes, a gentle and weak girl like Zhou Yulan needed someone like Shen Feihong for protection. Although Zhang Yi was also good, talented and upright, his status was different. Without Shen Feihong’s disregard for rules, he couldn’t untangle Zhao Mingfang’s attachment.

Whether Zhao Mingfang truly liked Zhang Yi, or she felt that things had gone so far she had to follow through, Secretary Zhang quietly arranged for Zhang Yi to be transferred to a machinery factory in a neighbouring city. Zhao Mingfang immediately followed him.

"Perfect!"

If not now, when?

Shen Feihong didn’t handle it personally. Instead, he instructed Tang Song, a small-time thug whose life he had saved, to arrive at the neighboring city before Zhao Mingfang with money and food. He instructed Tang Song to bribe the local thugs, convincing them that Zhao Mingfang’s family was rich and she was carrying a lot of money to win her lover. Whoever robs Zhao Mingfang would share the money obtained.

People starving to death could do anything.

Those thugs were borne of unstable homes with no money, and survived on petty theft and street begging. How many of them were good-hearted? Besides, Tang Song’s intention was just robbery, without intentions to murder.

So, before Zhao Mingfang could enter the city, a group of people ambushed her, knocked her out, and took her money.

Zhao Mingfang needed to live and indeed carried a lot of food and money.

The thugs were overjoyed and shared the loot with Tang Song. To prove that he indeed only wanted the money, he accepted his part. "You should leave quickly, or hide somewhere for a few days until the matter subsides."

The thugs understood. They fled in different directions, clutching their money and food.

Tang Song who stayed spat at Zhao Mingfang, picked up a wooden stick, weighed it in his hand, and hit Zhao Mingfang’s legs several times. The sound of breaking bones was clear.

"Consider this payment in advance. We’ll settle the rest with you and your family later!"

After saying this, Tang Song took away all the evidence from the scene, including the sack and wooden stick, leaving only Zhao Mingfang.

Shen Feihong had saved his life, so he would lay down his life for Shen Feihong.

In these years, without Shen Feihong, someone like him would have long starved to death in the snow.
