Chapter 55

Chapter 2: What If the Common People Rebel?

As soon as Lin Feng entered the hospital, a group of people surrounded him. These were the relatives of the neighborhood residents who had been injured in the conflict with Daya Chemical two days ago. They pulled Lin Feng and began to pour out their grievances, earnestly asking him to stand up for them and seek justice.

These were pitiful people, but pitiful people often have their own faults.

At least seven or eight people were injured in this conflict, and their relatives numbered at least a hundred. If these hundred people were united, they could directly petition the municipal government. Lin Feng truly didn't believe the government would ignore them and let the injured pay for their own hospital stays.

Unfortunately, these people placed their hopes on others, hoping someone else would take action while they shared the results.

After barely managing a few words, Lin Feng pushed through the crowd and entered his father's ward.

"Why are we in this room? Change it!" As soon as Lin Feng entered the ward, he frowned.

In the six-bed ward, four people were smoking, making the air extremely stuffy. Although it was September, Chushì was still hot, and the ward had no air conditioning. Even with a few ceiling fans creaking, people standing inside were drenched in sweat, let alone the patients lying on the beds.

Seeing Lin Feng's displeased expression, his second uncle, who was staying at the hospital to take care of his father, quickly explained, "This was your father's request. He said without a health insurance card, the hospital stay is too expensive, so we should save where we can."

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Although there had been some friction with his relatives over the stock incident, Lin Feng was now grateful that his relatives were willing to take care of his injured father, which was enough to make him forget all previous grievances.

Lin Feng directly approached the head nurse and got his father transferred to a VIP ward. This was a very elegant ward with a living room and a bathroom. It was fully equipped with air conditioning and a television, and had a dedicated nurse. Of course, the daily bed fee was not cheap, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.

When Lin Qixiong was transferred from the six-bed ward to the VIP ward, the other injured people felt both envy and a renewed hope for justice.

The Lin family's child has grown up and become successful; he will surely seek justice for us! —— Everyone thought.

"Dad!" Looking at his father, who was half his face swollen, with bandages wrapped around his chest and right foot, Lin Feng's eyes welled up with tears. After being reborn, he had vowed to make his father's life better, but after a year, his father was beaten and lying in the hospital.

Disobedient! I am so disobedient!

Lin Feng clenched his fists.

"Uncle is just suffering from external injuries. Don't worry, he will definitely recover after six months of rest." Wang Meng patted Lin Feng's shoulder lightly.

"Let's go, I'll seek revenge for my father. Whoever beat my father, I'll make them pay!" Lin Feng said angrily.

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to come back. Look, the tools are all ready." Yang Guowei took out a few telescopic batons from the side and grinned.

"Wait!" Wang Meng pulled Lin Feng aside.

"Brother, back in the day, I was very capable, but a moment of impulsiveness led me to be forced into hiding in the mountains for over a month, and eventually I was expelled from the military. If you go now, you won't have a good outcome." Wang Meng had deep feelings about this. He didn't want Lin Feng to follow the same path. At that time, he had a superior who helped him, so he was only expelled from the military and avoided all penalties. But if Lin Feng acted rashly, all his hard work over the past year would be in vain.

"What do you mean, Brother Meng?" Lin Feng knew Wang Meng had more to say.

"Tonight, just you and I will sneak into Daya Chemical and take action. No one will know, and it won't cause any trouble for us!" Wang Meng smiled coldly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Lin Feng smiled in understanding but then said, "Brother Meng, your plan is good. But if I, as a son, see my father beaten and say nothing, people will mock me, and I won't be able to swallow this anger. We will definitely go tonight, but we need to make a scene now! Let them know we won't be bullied!"

Wang Meng nodded in agreement.

"Xiaofeng, wait. I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage if you go with just a few people. Daya Chemical has hired more security guards recently. There are over ten guards during the day. I'll call your second uncle and your uncle-in-law to come along for support." The second uncle stopped Lin Feng and quickly called the relatives.

Soon, the second uncle and the uncle-in-law arrived. Upon learning that Lin Feng was going to seek justice for his father, they also called a few close colleagues and brought some tools like wrenches and hammers from the factory.

"Thank you!" Lin Feng was at a loss for words.

"Xiaofeng, we had some minor conflicts before, but that was an internal family issue. Now that your father has been beaten, it's a matter for the entire Lin family. Don't worry, we, as elders, won't let you suffer!" The second uncle had been waiting for Lin Feng to return.

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Feng and a group of over ten people directly took three taxis to Daya Chemical.

The other injured relatives, seeing Lin Feng and his group going to seek justice, followed behind in small groups, but it was clear they were just there to watch. If a real conflict broke out, they wouldn't be of any help. However, Lin Feng didn't count on them from the beginning. With Wang Meng, a top-notch fighter, the others were just there to show strength and boost morale. Moreover, they weren't going to seek revenge but to gather information.

"Hey, what are you doing here? This is a chemical plant, no unauthorized entry!" As soon as the group got out of the cars, the Daya Chemical security guards sensed something was wrong. Over ten security guards, armed with batons, ran out and blocked Lin Feng and his group at the entrance.

"We're not here for anything, just to seek justice! Who beat my father that day, step forward. My father has a broken rib, a sprained right foot, and a swollen face. I don't ask for much, just break two of his ribs, break both his legs, and swell both his cheeks." Lin Feng said coldly, his eyes scanning the security guards, trying to identify the culprits.

"Quick, go tell the boss, someone is causing trouble." The security guards were startled. This group clearly came as a team and was not to be trifled with. Especially the man in camouflage, who, though silent, stood calmly, his eyes emitting a sharp light that made all the security guards shudder. They didn't dare to say the usual tough words to those who came to seek justice, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Seeing the security guards go to fetch the boss, Lin Feng didn't say much and waited quietly. He wanted to see what kind of person this boss was.

"Damn, which blind fools are causing trouble again!" The Daya Chemical boss, in his early forties, with a balding head and a fat face, and a protruding belly, cursed loudly.

"Watch your mouth!" Lin Feng coldly shouted.

The Daya Chemical boss was about to curse back, but seeing the group's demeanor, he realized something was wrong. Compared to the people who had come to seek justice before, these over ten men were all strong, armed, and clearly ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

They weren't here to seek justice; they were here for revenge. —— The Daya Chemical boss broke out in a sweat.

The Daya Chemical boss, a smooth-talking person, quickly signaled someone to call the police and then approached with a forced smile.

"I wonder what brings you here? I am Hu Xiaobing, the boss of Daya Chemical." Although Hu Xiaobing smiled, his eyes were filled with venom.

Lin Feng knew Hu Xiaobing was calling for backup, but he wasn't in a hurry. He waited calmly to see who would come to Hu Xiaobing's aid. He wanted to see who had the power to let Hu Xiaobing be so arrogant, not only to open a chemical plant near a residential area but also to beat people and ignore the law, even the police and the police station.

As for whether Hu Xiaobing had connections with some powerful officials, Lin Feng was cautious but not afraid. If you play fair, I'll play fair. If you play dirty, I'll play dirty.

Officials fear three things: 1) not pleasing their superiors, 2) their mistresses turning against them, and 3) losing power and benefits.

As long as it wasn't a high-ranking official with supreme power, Lin Feng would find a way to deal with him. Especially for officials who want to advance, encountering a fearless and wealthy "rebel" could be unpredictable.

Rebel, I'll be a rebel, so what!
