Chapter 319: Chapter 191: The Ambitious Little Uncle_2

"Alright, I won’t waste your time. Let’s discuss the important matters. You’re not drunk now, are you?"

"No, I’m not. I didn’t drink; I drove here on purpose, and none of my comrades persuaded me to drink. We’re all getting older, only two who didn’t drive had alcohol, the rest drank soft drinks."

"Alright." Chen Feng was straightforward with him, mentioning his uncle’s situation and asking whether he has any connections in the local system to help expedite the injury case.

"Is this uncle of yours the one we saw at the nightclub last time? Is he seriously injured?"

"It’s not too serious. But it’s not light either. Based on the injury assessment, I think it could qualify as ’minor injuries’, right?"

"Hehe, I couldn’t say. You’ll need to bring people over for an inspection to determine specifics, you get what I mean? It’s not suitable for phone discussion. We can talk further when I take time in the afternoon or tomorrow to visit your uncle."

Of course, Chen Feng understood, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes and complain. This guy might have gotten used to the habits of mysterious departments, with a strong sense of confidentiality.

"Then make time to come over this afternoon. I’m currently at the county hospital’s inpatient department on the second floor. How about in an hour?"

Chen Feng wouldn’t be polite to him, as visiting his injured uncle is the least he should do.

"No need for an hour, I’ll be there in half an hour at most."

"Alright, I’ll be waiting."

"Good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng returned to the ward.

"How did it go? What did your friend say?"

As soon as Chen Feng entered, Zhao Guozhong eagerly inquired.

"He’ll be coming over to see you in a bit. There’s no need for you to know too much detail; anyway, he’ll help."

Zhao Guozhong nodded quickly, indicating he understood, and dared not ask further.

Around two in the afternoon, Chen Feng told his parents to head home while he stayed to accompany his uncle, making it easier to discuss matters with Qin Zhen later.

"Uncle, what about your friends from the society? Haven’t they come to see you?"

After his parents left, Chen Feng relaxed and started teasing his uncle.

Zhao Guozhong responded with a sheepish laugh, "They came to see me earlier, didn’t you notice all the fruit by the bedside?"

Chen Feng glanced at the fruit baskets under the bed, chuckled, and asked, "Do they know about your plan this time?"

Zhao Guozhong quickly shook his head, "Of course not. Such things must be kept confidential. I don’t trust these people."

"You’ve been beaten up this time, didn’t they say they’d help you fight back?"

Zhao Guozhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We’re all getting older now, past the days of bravado and fighting. Times have changed; relying on aggression is pointless. Now we rely on brains and connections. A few supposedly simple-minded ones even mentioned smashing up that car wash, but it seems like just grand talk."

Chen Feng nodded, "As long as you understand. Your friends in society now prioritize profit, not loyalty. Anyone still emphasizing loyalty will be seen as foolish. You should have learned from the nightclub incident last time; I need not remind you, right?"

Referring to the nightclub incident, Zhao Guozhong adopted a dutiful demeanor and nodded, "Certainly. I am no fool, okay? I was just a little naive before. But now I’ve realized that these brotherhoods exist only for fun and use; I won’t blindly sacrifice myself for loyalty anymore."

"Good that you understand."

Chen Feng had heard that his uncle was quite influential in Yuelou Town, mingling with a large group of old rogues, which prompted him to remind his uncle.

However, it seemed his uncle was truly awakening, striving for progress which was a positive sign.

After a casual chat between uncle and nephew, Qin Zhen arrived with another person. Each of them carried a fruit basket.

To Zhao Guozhong, Qin Zhen was a prominent figure, making him feel exhilarated as he sat up from the hospital bed.

After introductions, knowing that Qin Zhen brought along a deputy team leader from the bureau heightened Zhao Guozhong’s excitement.

The deputy was a comrade of Qin Zhen, and hearing about Chen Feng’s uncle, knowing Chen Feng was Qin Zhen’s close friend, joined along—a straightforward and practical individual.

After some conversation among the three, Chen Feng and Qin Zhen whispered among themselves, then Qin Zhen whispered to his comrade, and the matter was nearly settled.

Qin Zhen and his comrade stayed in the ward for about fifteen minutes before departing.

"Did the matter get settled?"

With glowing eyes, Zhao Guozhong asked.

Chen Feng nodded, "Pretty much. Just wait for news. Also, do an injury assessment in the afternoon."

"Alright."

Zhao Guozhong smiled happily.

Chen Feng continued waiting at the hospital for about an hour, then, after receiving a call, took his uncle to the designated location for the injury assessment.

The process went smoothly, completed in less than an hour.

Upon returning to the hospital, Chen Feng received a call from Fang Xiaoyue, notifying him that both car wash shops in Yuelou Town were closed.

Although Chen Feng had only reported one, the patrol team wouldn’t ignore the other environmentally violating car wash nearby, thus both were dealt with.

Chen Feng expressed gratitude, exchanged some polite words, then hung up.

Soon after, Zhao Guozhong received a call from his brother Three Fingers.

"Guozhong, targeting those outsiders is one thing, but why also shut down Ai Ba’s shop?"

Upon connecting the call, Zhao Guozhong started lamenting to Zhao Guozhong.

"This can’t be blamed on me; I only intended for them to close the outsider’s shop. Ai Ba’s shop being shut down might have been collateral damage. It’s the patrol team’s decision, beyond my control."

"Can you make a call and have the shop reopened?"

Zhao Guozhong chuckled, "You overestimate me; I don’t have that power. I merely registered a report against the outsider’s shop."

"Guozhong, you know Ai Ba is my underling; this is undermining me. Show some respect and help resolve this issue for Ai Ba. Rest assured, I understand the rules; just name your price."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guozhong looked at his nephew, having put the call on speakerphone, and since Chen Feng shook his head, he casually said, "Three Fingers, what are you talking about? I don’t understand you. I lack such capabilities. Honestly, I didn’t target Ai Ba intentionally this time. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. I have things to attend; let’s talk later."
