Chapter 204: Chapter 137: Discussing the Matter with Someone

Chen Feng genuinely sympathized with Fang Xiaoyue, but sympathy aside, he truly couldn’t help with the issue at hand.

After thinking for a bit, he decided to be frank, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you; I honestly don’t know any influential people. I think you shouldn’t worry too much about this matter. That Wang Guowei should be reasonable, right? Yes, his son went out to meet with you, but he was hit by a car, and that really can’t be blamed on you."

"It’s not that I’m unnecessarily worrying," Fang Xiaoyue sighed, "His parents, especially his mother, are really upset with me—they hate me immensely. You don’t know, she called me this noon, said some awful things, and even threatened me to watch my back. How can I not worry? Chen Feng, for the sake of our old classmate friendship, you must help me this time."

Chen Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "Aren’t you putting me in a tough spot? You are from the town, your family should have much wider connections than a country bumpkin like me. Get your friends and family to reach out; maybe someone knows the Wan family. Right, how did you meet Wang Kangjian? It must have been through someone else, right? Find that person and see if they can help."

With no other option, Fang Xiaoyue said, "The person in between is my aunt. She knows Wang Kangjian’s housekeeper, and through her housekeeper, we were set up for a blind date. Is there any prestige in that?"

Indeed, there was no prestige in that. After some thought, Chen Feng could only offer consolation, "At least you are a civil servant of the state. The Wan family can’t really do anything to you, can they? Don’t worry about it."

Fang Xiaoyue gave a wry smile, "In the eyes of the Wan family, my status is really nothing. What they can do is remove my job first and then slowly deal with me. Don’t think these wealthy people are so kind-hearted. Especially this Wang Guowei—his first pot of gold came from smuggling. Do you think he’s a good person?

I can’t gamble with my future and life; I have to resolve this as soon as possible. I’ve asked relatives and friends, but they don’t have any solutions either. My parents said they will take me to apologize tomorrow, even if it means kneeling and bowing to ask for forgiveness. But I know it’s useless. After much thought, you are probably the only one who might be able to help. Chen Feng, help me, please."

"I... I personally don’t really know any prominent figures. But a friend of mine might know someone. I’ll get in touch to see what can be done, but I can’t make any promises."

In the end, Chen Feng was a soft-hearted person. Seeing her so pitiful and considering that she had helped him before—even if he had already repaid that debt—three years of classmateship wasn’t something to be dismissed lightly. He wasn’t the kind of person to just turn his back.

"Thank you! Thank you! Chen Feng, I knew you wouldn’t stand idly by," Fang Xiaoyue thanked him eagerly and emotionally.

Chen Feng quickly said, "Don’t thank me yet. Let’s see what happens after I make contact. Don’t get your hopes too high."

"...Alright then. Please try to get in touch. No matter what, I trust you," Fang Xiaoyue said.

Her words really were...

Chen Feng didn’t engage in further useless talk and hung up the phone, then proceeded to call Qin Zhen.

The only person that came to mind was Qin Zhen, although he didn’t tell Fang Xiaoyue that Qin Zhen was also her classmate for three years. After all, whether this would succeed was still uncertain, and he definitely didn’t want to put Qin Zhen in a difficult position.

Chen Feng himself didn’t have any connections in his hometown, just as he had said—he was just a rural person, with a family that had been farming for generations. Who could he possibly know in Lin Nan County?

Qin Zhen was different though. He was from the county town, worked inside the system, and had one or two relatives with influence.

From previous conversations, Chen Feng remembered that Qin Zhen had mentioned an uncle who used to be a big shot. He worked in the finance bureau when he was young, then followed the trend and went into business, opening the first electronics factory in the county and made a good deal of money. After several ups and downs in life, he still had a net worth of tens of millions.

Most importantly, this uncle of his had a wide network in Lin Nan County and knew many people. If there were any issues, people would show him some face.

The phone was quickly answered, and when Chen Feng explained the situation to Qin Zhen, he responded actively, "Why didn’t Xiao Yue come to me? I am, after all, her classmate of three years."

Chen Feng responded, somewhat irritated, "During school, how many words did you exchange with her? Plus, when was the last time you even saw her? She probably doesn’t even know you joined the army after college, and now you are the chief. She definitely doesn’t have your mobile number."

Qin Zhen chuckled, "That is true. But, you might not know, actually, my family lives quite close to hers, and our families are acquainted, just not that close. So, you might say she’s my neighbor, as well as an old classmate. I must help her out with this favor."

"You sure are eager to help. What do you plan on doing?" Chen Feng asked directly.

"Actually, I know Wang Kangjian. We went to the same middle school; he was two grades above me but was classmates with my cousin, and they got along well and often hung out together. My uncle knows his father, Wang Guowei, even better—they have been acquainted for decades and their families have exchanged favors."

It was indeed his uncle after all.

Chen Feng asked, "Are you confident?"

"It’s hard to say about confidence. But this incident truly can’t be blamed on Xiao Yue. Sure, she arranged to meet with him, but didn’t they separate afterward? Even if they hadn’t separated, if one gets hit by a car while they are together, how can you blame the other? It’s not like she was the one driving the car that hit him. The Wan family has no grounds to stand on with this," Qin Zhen explained.
