Chapter 126 - 126 126 The Big Picture

126: Chapter 126: The Big Picture 126: Chapter 126: The Big Picture “These two bastards harassed my esteemed guest and made moves on the girl.

Beating them was letting them off lightly!

How dare you come and face me?” Yue Feng pointed aggressively at Er Mao’s nose, his voice full of authority.

“It was your friend fishing who flung the hook into Er Mao’s face.

Er Mao, covering his face, accidentally touched the girl’s hand.

Why do you beat him without understanding the situation?

Look at his face, his teeth are loose, too!” Wang Jian was relentless in his argument.

Yue Feng sneered coldly, “Are you sure that’s how it went?

Want me to call over the people involved for a confrontation?

These two perverts came over to harass, asked for her contact information, and when she refused, they wouldn’t leave her alone, bothering her incessantly.

My friend is just learning to fish; we warned them to be careful, but they stayed anyway.

Now they want to blame us for getting hit by a fish?

Our girl was concerned and checked on him, fearing he was hurt, and this fatso took the opportunity to grab her hand and cop a feel.

Do you think I’m wrong to hit him?”

Now, Wang Jian and Yu Qulong were a bit stunned.

These two guys hadn’t exactly lied, but they did deliberately play down a part of the truth.

Now they’ve come knocking only to find they can’t easily wrap things up.

Trying to chat up a girl is one thing, if she ignores you, so be it.

But to persist annoyingly and then get touchy-feely, that’s just despicable.

In such a situation, it’s not just Yue Feng who would step in and throw a punch.

Even if it were Wang Jian or Yu Qulong in his shoes, they wouldn’t stand for it, and sending them off with a slap was already showing mercy.

But that’s the principle.

When it comes down to one’s own head, the considerations are quite different.

The four of them came over full of fury.

If they backed down now, they would lose face.

The issue with Er Mao and Xiaobo is an internal conflict.

Compensation could be discussed later; the priority was to save face.

“Er Mao, is that what happened?

Did you deliberately cop a feel or act like a hooligan?” Wang Jian turned and looked at Er Mao, whose face was swollen.

With so many eyes on him, how could Er Mao admit it?

He stubbornly said, “No!

We stood at the back for a while, and that woman’s fishing swung the fish into my face.

The fish’s tail whipped across my eye, and I crouched down, covering it.

Who says I took advantage while blind?

Yes, I touched her hand, but it wasn’t intentional!

I got slapped without clarity of the situation!”

The two sides were now in a short, tense standoff.

The suspicion of taking advantage was there, but there was also a preceding cause, and it wasn’t mindless hooliganism.

Each side had its own rationale, making it very difficult to determine a clear-cut case, even if the police were to show up without any video evidence from the scene.

“I don’t care whether you did it intentionally or pretended it was accidental.

The fact is, you caused trouble in our camp, and you harassed our young girl!

And now you have the guts to come looking for payback!

I was the one who slapped you, and I’m ready for whatever resolution you want!”

Yue Feng was unwavering on this issue, his gaze sharp and intimidating, causing Xiaobo and Er Mao to feel a chill down their spines as it swept over Wang Jian and the others.

“Apologize!

Otherwise, this isn’t over!” Wang Jian was equally firm, refusing to back down.

“Fuck your mother!

Are you asking for trouble?

Apologize my ass!

Believe it or not, with one phone call, I can have you all locked up in a kennel!” Before Yue Feng could explode, Ma Boqiang was already furious.

After all, he was an influential young master, used to being given face in his territory.

Not picking on others was already commendable, and now, someone had the audacity to provoke trouble on his doorstep.

When Qiangzi first arrived, he complained to the reservoir manager, Liu Fengnian, for arranging for others to come and fish, but since Yue Feng didn’t mind, Qiangzi didn’t make a big deal out of it.

Now, however, this group was stepping out of line, causing a disturbance right at their doorstep.

The word “kennel” instantly struck a nerve in Wang Jian, sending his blood boiling.

His anger surged, ready to ignite into action.

At that moment, Liu Fengnian acted quickly, pulling Qiangzi back and positioning himself between the two groups.

“Everyone, listen to me.

We’re here to entertain friends from afar in the reservoir area today, and we don’t want to cause trouble.

It’d be embarrassing for everyone if things got out of hand.

Let’s each step back and call it even, what do you think?”

“Just let it go?

Definitely not!” Wang Jian rejected the suggestion without a second thought.

“If you feel wronged, then let’s settle this another way.

Let’s not resort to the thuggish tactics of the streets.

Since we’re all fishermen, we can solve the problem the fisherman’s way!

A fish-off, if you win, we’ll apologize for the fight, and if we win, you apologize!”

Seeing that he hadn’t persuaded them, Liu Fengnian proposed another solution.

There’s an old saying that the wiser heads come with age, and Liu, with his rich life experience, was no exception.

If it had been younger people involved, they wouldn’t have stopped until blood was spilled today; but Liu, with his experience and breadth of vision, was able to bring the tightrope-walking crisis safely to a halt.

“That works!

Whoever loses at fishing will apologize!” Yu Qulong agreed verbally, feeling a sigh of relief inside.

In truth, Old Yu had figured out that Xiao Bo and Er Mao had lied as soon as he overheard parts of their conversation, but now he was too deeply involved to back down.

Liu’s suggestion was a face-saving way out for both sides.

The outcome of the fishing contest wasn’t the most important thing anymore.

At least it could stabilize the situation that was on the verge of erupting into violence.

“Yue Feng, what about you?” Liu Fengnian turned his head, winked, and asked.

They say if you want to do great things, you need to consider the bigger picture.

Now was such a moment: Was it better to show off brute courage and spill blood, or to think of the greater good and resolve the situation?

There was a moment just now when Yue Feng had felt like getting physical, but he quickly came around after a hint from Old Liu.

“If it’s a fish-off, then let’s have a fish-off!

Don’t be misled by those whiners, not a single one of them is useful, they’re all just little brothers!” Yue Feng said bluntly.

His words weren’t aimless.

Wang Jian and Yu Qulong had both been defeated by Yue Feng before, a fact witnessed live by their streaming audience.

Now, stating this in front of everyone was jarring, yet Wang Jian and Yu Qulong didn’t make a sound.

“All right, it’s settled then.

We’re short on time; we have other activities tonight.

Let’s make this quick.

There are plenty of vacant spots for fishing here.

You guys work out the rules.

If we’re here to have fun, let’s do it right and not spoil the mood!”

Once the direction was set, the rest was much simpler.

After a brief discussion, Wang Jian’s group chose four people, and so did Yue Feng’s side.

Considering it was a reservoir, the contest would involve two casting rods and two hand rods, with the winner being the team with the heaviest catch!

As one of the parties involved, Baby volunteered to participate, and with a trump card up his sleeve, Yue Feng didn’t refuse, assigning Baby to one of the casting rods, which he had just learned to use not long ago.

From the beginning to the end of the conflict, the group of friends fishing in the reservoir watched silently from behind, not because they lacked loyalty, but because the conflict flared up quickly, was controlled quickly, and before many even knew what was happening, it had already been forcefully and firmly defused by Brother Liu.

However, Old Chen, who had been observing the way the conflict unfolded, was deeply impressed by Liu Fengnian.

This seemingly amiable middle-aged man, unassuming and calm, had real skill and was quite a character.
