Chapter 564 -564: So Refreshing (2nd Update)

Duck Neck, upon hearing Ku Chao’s words, felt they indeed made sense, as spending money to avoid disaster was something he had been doing all along.

Being able to pay off those junior police officers, what’s breaking some assets compared to honoring Boss Feng, the richest man in Chaoyang?

However, for some reason, he just felt a bit unwilling.

Right at this moment, Baldy snorted coldly, “The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, the tough are afraid of the reckless, and the reckless are afraid of those who have nothing to lose. So what if he’s rich? Haven’t you seen why nobody dares to mess with the Dou Family?”

Duck Neck and Ku Chao were instantly speechless, thinking you really can’t compare, going up against the Dou Family?

In the vast Yunyuan City, there’s only one Dou Family that others can’t even imitate… It’s not just one person who has nothing to lose, but a whole family, and in this family, there must not be a shortage of men either.

But Baldy was lost in his own world, blurting out, “This guy is already the richest man, yet doesn’t know how to lay low… If you ask me, we should just kidnap his dad and mom, extort a few billion, then make a run for it.”

“Er Qiang, have you lost your mind?” Ku Chao mocked him mercilessly, “Boss Feng Jun made his fortune starting with mines, do you think he lacks tough guys? Just because he doesn’t bring people to Chaoyang, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have people!”

“So what if he has people?” Baldy dismissed with a snort, “No matter how ruthless he is, if we don’t care about our lives, let’s see who will be more afraid.”

“You think you’re pretty tough, huh?” Just then, a soft laugh came from not far away, and a figure walked out—it was none other than the person they were bad-mouthing.

Feng Jun flashed a grin at Baldy, “Come on, repeat that again… Who were you planning to kidnap?”

“Motherfucker!” Baldy swung a liquor bottle and charged forward, viciously smashing it down.

However, when he was still three meters away from Feng Jun, he tumbled into the mud and didn’t move again.

Duck Neck had already drawn a dagger, but no matter what, he didn’t dare to rush forward.

His mind kept pondering, how did this guy find us? And how did he sneak up on us?

Most importantly… just how many people has this guy ambushed around here?

Ku Chao was even more frightened, trembling uncontrollably, and the clattering of his teeth could be clearly heard.

Feng Jun looked at the two with a grin, “Quite sensible, aren’t you? Why don’t you scream for help?”

The two hadn’t screamed earlier; one reason was that they were slow to react from drinking too much, and the other was indeed that they were scared.

Hearing him say this, they were even less inclined to scream for help.

Duck Neck steadied himself, speaking with difficulty, “Boss Feng, it’s not even dawn yet. I was planning to give you an answer when it got light.”

“I did say you needed to cool down for a while,” Feng Jun said with a slight smile, his figure flickering to the side of the two men.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but Duck Neck and Ku Chao didn’t have a chance to react. Their vision suddenly went black, and then they lost consciousness.

When they woke up again, they felt ice-cold all over. A closer look revealed they were suspended in mid-air, hanging upside down, while a light drizzle fell from the sky.

The November rain was already rather chilly, not to mention that it had been drizzling off and on for several days, and it was bone-chilling cold at the moment.

The two, in an effort to show their robust vitality, were dressed scantily and now they were truly chilled to the bone.

“Chatter chatter chatter,” Duck Neck’s teeth involuntarily chattered, “This this this… this is really freaking cool.”

Ku Chao’s teeth were also trembling uncontrollably, “I, I… I feel like I’m going to freeze to death. Where are we?”

Duck Neck looked around and, because he was hanging upside down, it took him a while to realize where they were. “This seems to be… the broadcasting tower of the county TV station?”

“Hey, let’s just scream for help,” Ku Chao said weakly, “I think I can only hold on for ten more minutes.”

His complexion was already very pale, and now under the light of dawn, it looked utterly ashen with his lips devoid of any color.

“I, I can’t even last five minutes, chatter chatter chatter,” Duck Neck grimaced as he yelled, “Someone come quick, help!”

His shouting startled the people doing morning exercises, as the recent rains hadn’t been heavy and hadn’t impacted them much.

However, it would still be two hours later before the two were rescued.

The county TV station’s broadcasting tower was perched on a small hill, which made the rescue difficult, and Chaoyang County didn’t have much heavy machinery. In the end, a crane had to be called in from Yunyuan City government company to get them down.

By the time they were rescued, both had gone into hypothermic shock. Duck Neck was genuinely unconscious, while Ku Chao, although unable to speak, was still conscious.

Both were rushed to the emergency room at the hospital, where the low temperatures caused a decline in their various vital signs, naturally including their immune systems.

It wasn’t a big problem, but it wasn’t something that could be resolved quickly either.

Duck Neck regained consciousness at two in the afternoon; as soon as he opened his eyes, Ku Chao in the bed beside him informed him of something, “Er Qiang is dead. He was hit by a big truck while crossing the road after five in the morning.”

Er Qiang was that bald guy who had talked about kidnapping Feng Jun’s parents.

“Fuck…” Duck Neck was first stunned, then a venomous look crossed his face as he gritted his teeth and said, “How could that be? At that time… At that time, why was he crossing the road?”

“I think I’ve figured it out,” Ku Chao said, his eyes devoid of any expression, “Some people are beyond our league.”

Duck Neck obviously knew this, but he still found it hard to accept. A brother he had been through thick and thin with had suddenly left this world—even if that guy was a bit daft, “Just like that, Er Qiang is dead?”

Ku Chao let out a weak snort, speaking with a tone of someone who’d seen through the mortal world, “His death definitely wasn’t normal, but you have to accept the losses in a wager… What’s the use of us talking about it?”

That’s what goes in the gambling world: win or lose, don’t bother with how you lost; a loss is a loss.

Duck Neck understood this, of course. He had just woken up and was still confused about the situation. After thinking it over, he spoke again, “The main thing is… he wanted to threaten Feng Jun’s parents?”

“Of course,” sighed Ku Chao, “If it were up to me, anyone who would threaten my parents like that… couldn’t be allowed to live.”

Duck Neck thought hard again and then asked, “My brain’s a bit fuzzy from the cold, Ku Chao, what do you think we should do now?”

“What to do, do you need to ask?” snorted Ku Chao, “Of course, we follow Boss Feng’s orders and drop the matter… Big Bro, get it straight. After he spoke to us, it took him less than half an hour to hang us up on the TV tower.”

At this point, he got a little agitated, “But look at how long it took for us to be rescued? Two hours! A whole two hours! The one thing I want to know is… how did he manage to hang us up there in just half an hour?”

“That… I was unconscious at the time,” Duck Neck said feeling a bit embarrassed, “I hadn’t considered that.”

“You don’t need to think about that,” Ku Chao’s emotion was clearly agitated, perhaps because of the fright he had, “I think, if he wanted us to die in a car accident, it would have been much easier… And when he was hanging us up, he had to prevent others from seeing it!”

At that moment, Duck Neck could no longer afford to think about Er Qiang’s death. Strictly speaking, such an event wasn’t that rare; after all, living in society means being prepared to die on the road or be buried in a ditch.

No wonder he said to let us cool off. Damn… it really was cool! I was nearly frozen to death!

Actually, he was a bit uncertain whether Feng Jun would just let him off the hook.

To tell the truth, he was truly terrified, and the more he thought about it, the more fear he felt. “So according to you, Ku Chao, we just let things go like this?”

“At most… that’s all there is to it, right?” Ku Chao’s answer was very uncertain, but in the next moment, he suddenly remembered something, “Right, why did we end up on the TV tower… we need a cover story that doesn’t involve Feng Jun, you know that, right?”

Is there no justice in this world? In an instant, Duck Neck’s grief turned into a river, we were hung up there, and we can’t even talk about it?

But of course, he knew Ku Chao’s reminder was correct. Luckily for them, the police weren’t that interested in such matters. However, someone did ask curiously, “Who did you guys offend?”

Duck Neck and Ku Chao had already synchronized their stories, saying that early in the morning when they were passing by this place, a car splashed mud on them, they cursed the driver a couple of times, and as a result, four or five people got out and knocked them unconscious before hanging them up using some unknown method.

For such an unexpected event, not only were the police uninterested in dealing with it but even if they wanted to, it would have been a challenge to catch the culprits.

In fact, what the police were most concerned about was the rescue fee—they had to pay it because the police couldn’t handle it themselves.

The cost wasn’t high, just over two thousand yuan, which wasn’t much for a thug like Duck Neck—at least he was still alive, right?

The man known as Er Qiang, the bald guy, died in an odd way, but in most people’s eyes, it was just a traffic accident. It was raining early in the morning with poor visibility, and with water pooling on the road, it was easy for a fast-moving truck to lose control.

The truck owner had some connections, being a relative of a leader at the city’s transportation bureau, and since Er Qiang had a very strained relationship with his own family, the compensation and follow-up matters were easily settled, essentially ending without much fuss.

However, besides Duck Neck and his crew, someone else noticed Er Qiang’s death—that was Zhang Zeping.

The first day Duck Neck went to block Liu Gen, Er Qiang wasn’t involved, but he joined them on the evening of the next day outside Feng Jun’s house.

As someone with time on his hands, Zhang Zeping was very aware of the relationship between Er Qiang and Duck Neck. Hearing about Er Qiang’s death via a car accident made him skip a beat: What a coincidence for this traffic accident!

When he heard that on the same morning, Duck Neck and Ku Chao were hung upside down on the TV tower, his heart turned icy cold.

Zhang Zeping was one hundred percent sure that Feng Jun had done it—Er Qiang died at the hands of Feng Jun!
