Chapter 116 Vortex
As early as decades ago, the Zhang family of Stone City had already been one of the most prestigious families in Stone City. The reason was very simple. Two generations of Zhang family martial artists had broken the genetic lock and become inhuman.
Although the third and fourth generations were somewhat disappointing and could not break the genetic lock, they had each entered the political and business worlds respectively. They thrived there, and held immense power.
Everyone knew that the Zhang family was one of the top families in Stone City.
The Zhang family had already been passed down to the fourth generation. Perhaps as the Zhang family had been powerful for too long, there were no outstanding figures in the fourth generation. Those who were slightly more outstanding were at most qualified successors. As for breaking the genetic lock? That was even more out of the question. Be it the third or fourth generation, none of them seemed to have any natural talent in martial arts. Although the third and fourth generations of the Zhang family seemed to be in decline, but as long as the two inhuman experts of the Zhang family were still around, who would dare to underestimate the Zhang family?
Slap.
In the Zhang family’s villa, Zhang Tianlong slapped Zhang Hui hard on the face. The force of the slap made Zhang Hui stagger, and his face immediately swelled.
However, Zhang Hui did not say a word. He only lowered his head. He knew that he could only let his father vent his anger now. Otherwise, he would not even be able to keep his life.
“Bastard! You damned bastard! Why didn’t you tell me about such an important matter earlier?!”
Zhang Tianlong was truly furious. He was the most outstanding figure of the third generation of the Zhang family, and a tycoon of Stone City’s business world. Relying on the influence of the two inhuman experts in the Zhang family, he had managed the Zhang family to flourish.
Although it couldn’t be considered pioneering, he hadn’t made any mistakes over the years.
That lasted until today, when his fourth son, Zhang Hui, came to apologize to him. When he heard everything Zhang Hui said, his mind immediately went blank.
Even though he was the tycoon of Stone City and could shake the entire city with a gesture, after hearing Zhang Hui’s words, he even wished he could slap Zhang Hui to death.
Zhang Hui, that bastard, could have just been a profligate son. The Zhang family did not mind providing for a few more profligate descendants, but he did not expect Zhang Hui to cause him so much trouble.
He actually dared to plot against Lin Feng, an inhuman expert and the Hero of Humanity who was at the height of fame recently. How could Zhang Tianlong not be furious about it?
It was an inhuman expert. How could ordinary people scheme against an inhuman expert? Moreover, if he wanted to scheme, he should at least have kept it from others. But what did Zhang Hui do? He had overstepped so far that it was already discovered by Lin Feng, and had no choice but to seek his help after the matter was exposed.
Zhang Tianlong smacked his forehead. He was very angry.

Thinking about everything Zhang Hui had done, Zhang Tianlong shook his head. He did not expect his son, Zhang Hui, who he usually did not pay much attention to, to be so ruthless. Yet although he was sufficiently ruthless, he did things without consideration and left behind many loose ends.
“You sure are ruthless. You want Yu Shui to be the scapegoat? Didn’t you think that Yu Shui would sell you out at the last minute? Yu Shui isn’t dead now. He didn’t kill his big brother, and what you’ve done has been exposed. Being ruthless is a good trait, but you’re too rash when executing things.”
“Dad, I don’t want to die.”
Zhang Hui knelt on the ground. He was truly afraid now. He had thought that everything he did previously was perfect, yet there were flaws everywhere.
“Hmph, now you know fear? When you formulated the nefarious plan, why didn’t you think of the consequences? You underestimate the influence of inhuman experts. Even if Yu Shui died, do you think you’d be safe?”
Zhang Tianlong was really infuriated. It wasn’t because Zhang Hui was too ruthless, but because he felt that Zhang Hui was too foolish and ignorant. How could an inhuman expert be so easily deceived?
Never mind how the plan was riddled with loopholes to begin with, he actually wanted to coerce an inhuman expert. That was absurd! Even if Yu Shui died, as long as Lin Feng wanted to, he’d still have traced things to Zhang Hui. As for evidence-did inhuman experts need evidence? All they needed was a bit of suspicion. Evidence was for ordinary people. Zhang Hui thought that Yu Shui was foolish, but in reality, Zhang Tianlong thought that Zhang Hui was even more foolish.
“Dad, save me. I don’t want to die.”
Zhang Hui begged desperately. At this moment, there was none of the prestige of Young Master Zhang left to him.
Zhang Tianlong’s expression darkened. He looked at Zhang Hui. After all, he was his son. No matter how little he valued Zhang Hui, he couldn’t just watch Zhang Hui die.
Moreover, this matter had already vaguely exceeded the scope of a “personal grudge”.
“Zhang Hui, what you’ve done is too foolish. I won’t harbor you either. However, you didn’t directly attack Yu Shan when dealing with him. Moreover, Yu Shan isn’t dead. At most, you’re just an instigator. However, if Lin Feng insists on it, you’ll be in trouble. I think you’d better turn yourself in. According to the current law, you didn’t kill anyone, so your crime isn’t punishable by death. At most, you’ll be jailed. After the situation has settled, I can still use the power of the family to get you out. Do you understand?”
Zhang Tianlong knew that it would be very difficult to protect Zhang Hui. The only way was to get Zhang Hui to surrender himself. That way, Zhang Hui would at most face some jail term. If he fell into Lin Feng’s hands, that would mean dying. Zhang Hui also understood the difference, so he hurriedly nodded and said, “I’m willing to follow the family’s arrangements.” “All right, then this matter is settled. I’ll contact your grandfather first. We have to let them know about such an important matter. Lin Feng caused a scene in Stone City and even fought with the law enforcement team. He probably won’t let the matter rest. Your grandfather will need to step in.”
“Dad, what if Lin Feng insists on killing me?”
Zhang Hui had learned how “savage” Lin Feng’s performance in the Yu family was. He had defeated four law enforcement officers directly and broken Yu Shui’s legs. He was afraid that Lin Feng would insist on killing him too. That would mean trouble. A sharp glint flashed across Zhang Tianlong’s eyes. “Hmph, what do you know? At this point, do you think this matter is just between Lin Feng and the Yu family? It’s not that simple anymore. Even if we’re willing to hand you over for Lin Feng to deal with, the government will definitely not agree to it. This concerns the administrative authority of the government faction. The government faction paid such a huge price back then to obtain it. How can they be willing to allow the government faction to lose its authority for a mere Lin Feng?”
“Huh?”
Zhang Hui’s mouth fell open. He did not understand what Zhang Tianlong was saying at all. Zhang Tianlong did not explain either. This involved the struggle between the five major factions. How could a profligate son like Zhang Hui understand the extent of the implications?
However, Zhang Tianlong knew that this small matter had already gotten on the most sensitive nerve of the government faction. If Lin Feng insisted on killing Zhang Hui or Yu Shui, it would be a violation of the government faction’s administrative rights. The government faction could not tolerate such behavior no matter what.
However, even though he knew this, he still had to report this matter to the two inhuman experts of the Zhang family. The two inhuman experts of the Zhang family had joined the government faction. When the time came, they could also rely on the government faction. Perhaps even Lin Feng did not know that his feat in Stone City had already been involved in the vortex of power games between the five major factions.
