Chapter 958
Li Wenhu is dead
"What's the big deal? We haven't killed anyone or set anything, what could possibly be so important that you come all the way here to pick me up in the middle of the night!"
Yue Feng frowned slightly, his tone of inquiry was very calm, but he was already secretly making plans in his heart.
As Jinlong drove, he said, "Li Wenhu is dead! Brother Jianjun called me personally, telling me to make sure you come to my house to stay first, in case the Li family gets desperate and does something rash!"
"What the hell?"
Yue Feng suddenly sat up straight.
"It means exactly what it says. Lin Wenhu stabbed himself twice and went to the military hospital to treat his injuries. He only stayed for less than a day before he suddenly passed away!"
"Why isn't it here?"
Yue Feng's tone became noticeably more serious as he recalled the details of Li Wenhu stabbing him in the thigh the previous night.
Based on his experience as a seasoned hunter, Yue Feng was 100% certain that the dagger had not pierced the major artery. Although such an injury would cause some suffering during recovery, with timely treatment of the external wound, it was far from fatal.
"I don't know the specific details yet, but I'm certain that the person is gone!"
Jianjun said he was still asking around for more details and hadn't found out the specific results yet!
Li Wenhu was the only son in his family. Now that he's gone, his father will definitely go insane!
"Does Jianjun mean he's afraid his father will take his grief over losing his son out on me?"
"Yes, that's a consideration! Even if Li Wenhu's father's position is precarious, he's still a force to be reckoned with! The only concern is that he might take a risk!"
Yue Feng nodded: "Did Jianjun say anything else? If this matter involves a life, what is the usual procedure for handling it next?"
Jinlong gripped the steering wheel with both hands and stared ahead. He paused for a second before saying, "How to proceed depends on the cause of Li Wenhu's death!"
If it's a secondary infection or something similar after the injury, we'll definitely be the ones to blame!
You, Jianjun, and Zhang Chaochao are all involved! The person is dead; there must be an explanation!
Either pay some money or make up for it with other compensation!
If the death was caused by a reason completely unrelated to this injury, then it's probably none of our business. Let Uncle Hat investigate; whoever is responsible will be held accountable. It should be handled officially, reasonably, and legally!
Yue Feng nodded after hearing this: "You have a telephone at your place, right?"
"Yes, what do you want to do?"
“Zhang Chaochao injured the person and brought him to the hotel. Li Wenhu himself did a stupid thing, and he admits it himself!”
"He stabbed himself twice after that, so why should we compensate him? I need to ask Zhang Chaochao if he'll take responsibility for this!" Yue Feng said with very clear logic.
"Well... I do have his phone number, but it's a bit inappropriate for you to call him and ask him like this!" Jinlong said hesitantly, carefully choosing his words.
"Is it too undignified to bring this up in public?"
Yue Feng glanced at Jin Long again and said what Jin Long hadn't said aloud.
“Yes! If we do that, wouldn’t it be like tearing off the mask of civility? How can we get along in the future?” Jinlong nodded in agreement.
Yue Feng narrowed his eyes and said coldly, word by word, "What do I, a person from a peasant background, need face for!"
If he were smart, he wouldn't try to frame me! If he insists on doing this, then so be it!
Face is mutual; yesterday's matter was handled that way because of Zhang Chaochao's sake.
If we follow our own thinking, and it's confirmed that Li Wenhu was behind it, then killing him wouldn't be unjust at all!
"Well, what you said makes sense!"
Jinlong sighed and didn't continue the topic.
Soon, the car weaved through the streets, and half an hour later, it arrived at Jinlong's house.
The two got out of the car, unlocked the door, and entered the yard. The light in the north room was on.
Soon, a pretty, well-proportioned girl, with a pure and innocent look like the girl next door, came out of the house to greet them.
"What's this?" Yue Feng looked up and asked casually.
"Xiaojing, you'll sleep in the guest room in the east wing tonight!" Jinlong didn't answer, but instead called out to the girl.
The other person nodded to Yue Feng and Jin Long, then turned and went to the guest room in the east wing, closed the door, and never came out again.
"Well, you're not dating foreign women anymore, you've changed types?" Yue Feng smirked and joked casually.
"What time is it? You still have the mind to joke about this! The phone is over here, call Zhang Chaochao now?" Jinlong asked, rubbing his head.
"Okay, let's fight now!"
Yue Feng responded and then went to Jinlong's landline, quickly dialing Zhang Chaochao's number.
"Hey, Mr. Jin, what's up?" Zhang Chaochao sounded a bit down on the phone.
"It's me, Yue Feng! Sorry to have kept Brother Chao from resting!" Yue Feng introduced himself.
"Oh, it's Xiaofeng. Did you get the news that Wenhu is in trouble?" Zhang Chaochao dropped the usual formalities and went straight to the point.
Yue Feng nodded: "Yeah, Jinlong woke me up from bed, afraid that the Li family would use me to pay for Li Wenhu's life! I'm a coward, and I can't sleep at night without calling Brother Chao to find out what's going on!"
"Wenhu is dead! The official explanation is that he suffered acute heart failure due to an infection!"
"What's the real situation?"
"The truth is still under investigation. The doctors and nurses in his ward have all been detained! I asked around, and it's highly likely that someone is behind this, orchestrating this medical malpractice!"
"We've reached an internal agreement and resolved the matter peacefully. Now, only the Zhao family is hoping for Wenhu's death, right?" Yue Feng heard an answer that was basically consistent with his own thoughts on the way, and continued along the line of conversation.
"Yes, that's most likely the case, but we can't rule out other possibilities!"
The power structure at the top is unstable right now, and we're just pawns being manipulated! Wenhu's really unlucky. I thought that since we're brothers, I was willing to risk everything to save his life! Sigh…”
"If that's the case, then I have to call the old man to report! I'm not sure what to do. What if I fall asleep in a daze and die of a heart attack the next day? Who would I complain to then?" Yue Feng said, half-jokingly.
"I don't recommend you report this matter to your superiors now. Jianjun and I have already told our families. Just wait for the results!"
"You should stay at Jinlong's house for now. After tonight, there won't be any danger!"
"Alright, I'll listen to you then! Is there any information you haven't shared with me yet? Are there any risks with Evan and Salman? We don't want them to be caught off guard and have their resources cut off!"
"Don't worry about that. No matter how bold they are, they wouldn't dare to mess around with foreign guests. Just stay here and relax. I'll call you tomorrow if there's any new information!"
"Row!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Chao said that if I sleep here tonight, everything will be resolved after a good night's sleep!" Yue Feng said, looking at Jinlong with a slight smile.
Jinlong sat on a chair next to Yuefeng, and his expression relaxed considerably after Yuefeng finished his call.
"Haha, just sleep soundly and don't worry. Nobody dares to cause trouble in my house yet! I noticed you were looking at Xiaojing a little strange earlier. Why don't you go sleep in the guest room in the east wing?"
Yue Feng shook his head and said righteously, "I don't have that kind of fetish! I'm a married man!"
"Then you can stay in the master bedroom, I'll sleep in the guest room! Are you sleepy now? Or, I'll ask the kitchen to make a few side dishes, and we can have a drink together?"
Yue Feng shook his head again: "Rest, let's not make a fuss anymore, we'll talk about it tomorrow! Judging from Zhang Chaochao's words, he and Ye Jianjun should be able to handle this! Do you think I should call the old man or Wang Hu again?" "I don't think it's necessary! You're a member of the Wang family, and you've all come to my house to hide. Anyone who dares to come here and cause trouble is really asking for it! Besides, even if they wanted to come, they wouldn't be able to get past the guards on duty outside! Just rest!"
"it is good!"
……
After chatting for a while, Yue Feng returned to Jinlong's master bedroom and quickly lay down.
He didn't take off his clothes, and the dagger he kept close to his body was right next to him. He closed his eyes in a half-dream state.
That night, Yue Feng slept very restlessly, as if he had led his team into the mountains to spend the night. He could hear every slight rustling sound outside.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning around 8 a.m., Wang Hu took the initiative to call Yue Feng.
"Uncle Hong called me. The matter of Li Wenhu's death has been taken care of. I just wanted to let you know so you don't have to worry!"
"Huh? How was it handled? Did they catch the person?" Yue Feng asked, puzzled.
Wang Hu calmly said, "Li Wenhu traded his life for his father's job, and that's roughly how it was handled! As for the people responsible at the hospital, I don't know how they were dealt with, and it's none of our business!"
"Alright! Did the old man say anything else?"
"He didn't say. Uncle Hong said you did nothing wrong in the Li Wenhu matter! Now that you're in this bureau, just do your job well. The sky won't fall!"
"All done! I've finished my business in the capital. Now that things are settled, I need to head back!"
"Okay, take good care of your family!"
"Okay!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng completely relaxed.
These high-level people are really efficient; they reached a consensus in just one day.
Yue Feng briefly mentioned it to Jin Long, then went back to his residence after breakfast.
It's true that the capital city has abundant resources, but the risks are also great. Even running a falconry club, which is supposed to be law-abiding and has almost no competition, has caused all these strange incidents, giving Yue Feng a new understanding of the harsh reality.
By 10:00 a.m., Yue Feng had finished greeting everyone he needed to.
Yue Feng gave Li Guangkun the key to another house he lived in, and he also took all the odds and ends that he could use with him in the car.
Before 11 a.m., Yue Feng filled up the gas in the car driven by Bing Ge and left Beijing, heading north along the main road to go home!
Taking a car home is at least a bit more comfortable than taking a train for dozens of hours.
If you get tired of sitting, you can stop and rest temporarily. If you get sleepy at night, you can find a guesthouse to stay in, sleep for a night, and then continue your journey.
And so, together with the eagle and the dog, they spent three days returning to their hometown.
Here, the gate to Yue Feng's new house was locked tight, and a car had stopped in front of it.
"Hey, why is the door locked at home?" Yue Feng muttered to himself, got back into the car, and headed back to his hometown.
Yue Feng got out of the car and went inside, and his mother came out to greet him. His mother was home with his sister.
"Mom, why is no one home at the new house? Where are Xiaojing and Kaixin?" Yuefeng asked, puzzled.
Mom said, "Son's back! Xiaojing is busy at the sales point, and Kaixin is at his grandma's house! It's autumn now, and the sales point is very busy. We also had two heavy rains at home, so the roads are difficult to travel. The sales point has accumulated a lot of inventory!"
"Could I have the keys to the new house? I went on a long trip and forgot them!"
"Yes, I'll get it for you! Did your trip to Beijing go smoothly?"
"Yeah, I brought back a pair of hybrid falcons from abroad! The exhibition went smoothly too! Let's cook some dishes tonight, Xiaona and I will come to the old house for dinner!"
"Okay, Mom will take the meat out and let it thaw right away!"
……
Yue Feng got the keys to the new house from his mother and drove back home.
Open the door, and then unload all the hawks, dogs, local specialties, cigarettes, alcohol, and other odds and ends from the vehicle.
"You've been with me for so many days, why don't you stay at my place for the night and rest, and go back tomorrow?" Yue Feng suggested to the soldier driver.
"Hehe, Brother Feng, we're so familiar with each other, no need to be so polite with me! I was thinking of taking advantage of the time to go home for a visit! And then go back to my unit to report back from leave!" The soldier scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"Alright, take these cigarettes and alcohol with you when you go back, and share them with your superiors and family! Thank you for your help this time!" Yue Feng left a whole case of alcohol and several cartons of special-supply cigarettes in the car.
"Haha, next time there's something like this, make sure I get a turn! I've been eating and drinking like a king with you all this time, I don't even want to go back to the army!"
……
After exchanging pleasantries, the soldier drove away, leaving Yue Feng, covered in sweat, alone at home.
After settling the big black eagle in, Yue Feng changed into clean clothes, pushed the motorcycle out of the warehouse, got on, and rode with Canglong and the pair of hybrid falcons, heading straight for the breeding farm on the mountain.
This trip, including the round trip, will take almost half a month. It's currently the window of autumn before winter, and I wonder how things are up in the mountains lately.
When Yue Feng arrived at the breeding farm on the mountain on his motorcycle, the old man was circling the tiny hybrid falcon in the yard.
"Master, I'm busy!" Yue Feng parked the car and entered the courtyard with a smile.
Zhao Dashan turned his head and glanced at Yue Feng, his gaze falling on the pair of hybrid falcons that Yue Feng was holding in his hands.
"Why was the eagle replaced? What happened to the pair of white falcons?"
"Hehe, I gave them to someone else! Look at these falcons, how are they!" Yue Feng grinned, showing off the two eagles with their hats on in front of his master.
"These...these two falcons don't look like purebred gyrfalcons at all; they seem to have the characteristics of hybrid falcons instead!"
"Hehe, that's right! These are a pair of hybrid falcons! From now on, they're yours to train! They're hybrid falcons imported from the white-robed man abroad!"
"I knew it! You're not the type to do business at a loss! Are these two falcons any good?"
After listening to his apprentice's explanation, Zhao Dashan couldn't help but pick it up and examine it closely.
As soon as they started, a series of sharp, piercing cries came from the sky.
Yue Feng subconsciously looked up.
The little one seemed a bit off, yelling as it swooped down.
What's going on? (End of Chapter)
