Chapter 49 - 49 Hooligan
49 Hooligan
Xi Feng led the group into the hotpot restaurant. The restaurant was crowded as it was night time.
The few of them chose the innermost seat, which was quieter.
“Feng Jing, City A hasn’t been very peaceful recently. Isn’t your police force very busy?” Xi Feng sat beside Yin Ning and asked Feng Jing who was sitting opposite her.
“Indeed quite busy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left the police station so late.” Feng Jing poured a glass of fruit juice for Yin Tao. His actions caught the attention of many people.
“Brother Feng, it’s normal for you detectives to be busy until this time. However, why did Sister Xiaotao leave so late? Could it be to accompany you?” Jin Chen was a little curious about the relationship between Yin Tao and Feng Jing.
Originally, he had a good impression of Yin Tao. If she was really getting involved with Feng Jing, it would probably be very difficult for him to get close to her again.
Feng Jing took a glance at Yin Tao, knowing that her family was not supportive of her job.
“Aren’t you hungry? Focus on eating. Why do you have so many questions?”
After Feng Jing finished speaking, Jin Chen pursed his lips helplessly and said to Yin Tao with a smile, “Sister Xiaotao, don’t you feel bored facing Brother Feng everyday? He is such a block of wood.”
Yin Tao looked at the man in front of her, he had a pair of pretty peach blossom eyes and a slightly frivolous smile. She couldn’t help but feel turned off. After all, in the original book, Jin Chen was an out-and-out playboy. Yin Tao really didn’t have a good impression of him.
“No, Captain Feng is a good person.” Yin Tao was telling the truth. After all, compared to Jin Chen, Feng Jing was simply the perfect man.
When Yin Ning heard Yin Tao’s words, she also looked at Feng Jing. The two of them did not look like a couple in love, nor did they look like ordinary friends.
“Elder sister, Captain Feng is busy with work. Don’t keep pestering him. Come home more often when you have time. Dad and Mom miss you very much.” Yin Ning’s words made Yin Tao frown slightly. She really had a way with words.
“Xiao Yin has helped me a lot. I can accompany her home to visit uncle and auntie another day and reassure them that she is doing well at the police station.”
Feng Jing’s words made Yin Ning lower her head in embarrassment. His original intention was to explain her work to Yin Tao’s family, hoping that they would be more understanding toward her. However, in the ears of others, these words were obviously protective of Yin Tao.
Xi Feng raised his wine glass and gestured to Feng Jing. However, Feng Jing waved his hand and said, “It is not convenient to drink. I’m on standby.”
Seeing Feng Jing’s actions, Jin Chen sighed and said, “Sigh, why did you have to come to City A to be a detective? You could have stayed in the capital to enjoy your position as the eldest son of the Feng family? Why suffer?”
“Don’t say that. Being a detective is also a kind of pursuit.” Xi Feng finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. He was very envious of Feng Jing’s free spirit. He didn’t have to worry too much and really lived for himself.
Yin Tao secretly sized up Yin Ning and Xi Feng and felt that their relationship had yet to be confirmed. After all, the male and female protagonists in the novel had only gotten together after experiencing all sorts of things.
Yin Tao no longer paid attention to their conversation and focused on eating the dishes in front of her.
Suddenly, the sound of a glass shattering attracted everyone’s attention.
“Are you courting death?!” A tall man with dyed blond hair shouted at a thin and pale young man.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Brother Nan.” The skinny young man kept apologizing, but the blondie had no intention of letting him off.
“I f*cking lent you money and even brought you here to eat. I’m giving you face, and you still dare to be impertinent!” The blondie grabbed the thin young man’s collar. He looked like he was about to punch the man’s face any moment.
“Brother Nan, the house really won’t do. My sister still has to go to school. She can’t go without a roof over her head!” The skinny young man was so frightened that he didn’t dare to struggle. He just kept pleading softly.
The waiter in the hotpot restaurant hurriedly went forward to pacify him, but the blondie was getting angrier and angrier. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “What school?! I already said that you can hand over the little girl. Do you not understand human language?!”
The blondie was shouting so loudly that even Yin Tao and the others sitting at the innermost area could hear him.
“This person is quite arrogant. He looks like a hooligan.” Xi Feng took a sip of wine nonchalantly. He looked at the blondie not far away and felt that he was just bluffing.
“There are many hooligans in the alleys of City A’s suburbs.” After saying that, Jin Chen glanced at Feng Jing and asked with a smile, “Captain Feng, why isn’t the police doing something about them? I heard that there has been a lot of trouble at the alleys recently.”
“I’m a detective. I’m only in charge of major criminal cases,” Feng Jing replied to Jin Chen, but his gaze was fixed on the blondie and the skinny young man.
