Chapter 26

Fang Tianfeng opened the door and saw Manager Bi, who had driven him to the villa that day. Manager Bi, who had been smiling broadly then, now had a cold, stern expression.

A dozen people stood behind Manager Bi, each looking fierce and some even holding clubs.

Xin Laosan, whose nose Fang Tianfeng had broken, and the two security guards were among them. They did not shout; the one who had been kicked in a vital spot was already in the hospital.

As soon as Fang Tianfeng appeared, the previously arrogant Xin Laosan took a step back, still unable to forget that vicious kick.

Fang Tianfeng stood at the door, and though he was alone, he seemed like a thousand soldiers, making the others subconsciously shut their mouths.

Manager Bi gave a cold smile and said, "I know you have some martial arts skills, but Chang'an Garden is not your company! Here, if you're a dragon, you'll coil up; if you're a tiger, you'll lie down! Since you know Manager Shen, I won't make things too difficult for you. Give me 200,000 yuan, and we'll call it even. If you say no, we'll cripple you first, then make you pay anyway. Do you believe me?"

Fang Tianfeng's gaze swept over the crowd like a knife, and he smiled disdainfully, saying, "Do you think your amateur skills can hurt me?"

Manager Bi replied, "Then cripple us! We're short on money for retirement. I want to see what you'll use to pay! If you don't pay, you'll go to jail, and you'll learn what it means to wish you were dead!"

The people behind Manager Bi moved in, and Xin Laosan lay on the ground, tearing his clothes and shouting, "Kill me! Kill me!"

Fang Tianfeng said, "Trying to extort me? I give you three minutes to get out of here, or I won't hesitate to send you out myself!"

Manager Bi raised his phone and said arrogantly, "I've already called my police friend before coming here. The 110 patrol car is outside. If you dare to make a move, one call from me will land you in jail for life!"

Fang Tianfeng was startled. If the police were involved, things would get complicated. Even if his Tianyun Formula was just starting, even if he were a hundred times stronger, the best outcome of opposing the police would be fleeing overseas.

However, Fang Tianfeng seemed to remember something and said, "This was originally an internal matter of Chang'an Garden. Now that you want to involve the police, don't blame me for going all out! Go ahead and call; I want to see how you'll put me in jail!"

Manager Bi, irritated by Fang Tianfeng's contemptuous attitude, immediately made the call.

"Xiao Gu? It's your Brother Bi. Come in now! I was going to wait for him to make a move before calling you, but he's smart and didn't. Come now; I've already reported it. Four of my men were injured by him!"

After finishing the call, Manager Bi looked at Fang Tianfeng smugly and said, "I've made the call. Wait and see! Do you think a few martial arts skills will let you act arrogantly in front of me? These days, one official is worth a hundred of you thugs! What era do you think we're in, thinking that fighting can solve everything? Now it's about brains, power, and money! No matter how strong you are, you're just a high-level laborer!"

Fang Tianfeng nodded coldly and said, "You're much smarter than Xin Laosan, no wonder you're a manager. Done? My turn." He then called President Meng.

"Hello?"

"President Meng, it's me, Fang Tianfeng."

"Ah, it's Master Fang. What's up?"

"This matter was originally not meant to trouble you, but now I need a small favor."

"Master Fang, just say it! If I can help, I will without hesitation!"

"It's like this. On my first day at Chang'an Garden, the security guards looked down on me and wouldn't let the delivery to my room. I tolerated it. Today, a tenant came to look at the house, and they not only wouldn't let them in but also harassed the female tenant. I couldn't hold back and hit four security guards. Now, Manager Bi from the property management has brought a group to block my door, demanding 200,000 yuan in compensation, and he's even called the police. What should I do?"

President Meng immediately said, "Master Fang, wait a moment. Three minutes! I'll resolve it in three minutes, guaranteed to your satisfaction!"

"Alright, thank you, President Meng. I'll wait for your news."

Fang Tianfeng hung up and said, "You have three minutes."

The crowd hesitated, wondering who this President Meng was. Soon, Manager Bi's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. He knew a President Meng, a powerful figure he could never provoke, who could crush him with a finger. However, he quickly dismissed this thought; if Fang Tianfeng could get that President Meng to help, he would be living in a villa, not looking at one.

At that moment, a police car with sirens blaring pulled up. The car stopped, and two police officers got out.

An Tian Tian, standing behind Fang Tianfeng, was so scared by the arrival of the police that her whole body went limp. To almost all Chinese civilians, the police were a powerful force.

Manager Bi immediately pointed at Fang Tianfeng and said, "Xiao Gu, it's him."

The young officer, to show off his power in front of Manager Bi, said loudly, "No need for words. Cuff him and throw him in the station for a day."

The middle-aged officer glanced at the crowd, sensing something was off. The young man surrounded by a dozen people was calm, not like an ordinary person.

He cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Gu, be professional. Manager Bi, we were patrolling near Chang'an Garden and came immediately upon receiving your report. Please describe the incident in detail."

Xiao Gu was taken aback and looked at Manager Bi in confusion.

Manager Bi, noticing that even his security guards were hesitant, said, "Xiao Gu, if you can detain him, when our boss returns, I'll introduce you to the chief of the district police. I can't promise anything, but you'll be promoted within two years!"

Xiao Gu's eyes lit up, and he turned to the middle-aged officer, saying, "Old Song, stay out of this. I'll take responsibility! I'll treat you to drinks tonight."

The middle-aged officer hesitated for a moment and then nodded, stepping back.

Xiao Gu, in his dark blue police uniform, pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Fang Tianfeng, saying sternly, "Please come with us!"

Fang Tianfeng, with a stern face, asked, "Are you sure you want to arrest the victim without investigating the cause?"

Xin Laosan was stunned, feeling pain from where he had been hit.

Xiao Gu, impatient, said, "I have the authority to arrest suspects of intentional injury!"

Fang Tianfeng said, "The flight attendant behind me is the victim. I acted in self-defense. I don't want to make things worse, so I hope you will enforce the law fairly and investigate before acting, for your own good."

Xiao Gu became even more impatient and shouted, "Hands behind your head! Get down! Or don't blame me for being rough."

Fang Tianfeng stared at Xiao Gu's police badge and said, "I've noted your badge number!"

Xiao Gu took out handcuffs and said disdainfully, "Do what you want! I don't care!"

Suddenly, Manager Bi's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, his face changing, and he cautiously answered.

An angry roar came through the phone.

"Are you stupid? Do you know who you're messing with? Even Brother Meng treats him with respect, and you're acting like a gangster? The big boss is in America, and you know I'm having a hard time. You don't need to be a manager anymore; get out of Yunhai City in three days, or I won't clean up your mess! And those idiots, if Master Fang doesn't forgive them, break each of their legs and make them kneel outside Chang'an Garden until they die!"

The voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it, and they were all terrified.

Xiao Gu, standing in front of Manager Bi, turned pale, and his hand slipped, dropping the handcuffs to the ground.

Xin Laosan, hearing his boss's voice, knew something was wrong. He quickly stood up, put on his clothes, and, upon hearing the last part, fell to his knees, tears and snot streaming down his face, wailing, "Master Fang, please be magnanimous. I, Xin Laosan, am blind. I won't oppose you again. Please forgive me." He then slapped himself repeatedly.

The other two security guards, terrified by their boss's words, also trembled and knelt with Xin Laosan, slapping themselves.

An Tian Tian, standing behind Fang Tianfeng, was stunned. She thought Fang Tianfeng would be arrested and that she would be in trouble, but she never expected that a single phone call would completely reverse the situation.

An Tian Tian smiled sweetly, thinking, "You pretended to be a security guard, didn't you? How could a simple security guard guard such a luxurious villa, and how could he resolve a conflict with the property management and the police with just one phone call?"

Manager Bi, trembling, held the phone out to Fang Tianfeng, saying, "Master Fang, the boss wants you to take the call."

Fang Tianfeng, surprised that he had gone from "Little Fang" to "Master Fang" in just a few days, smiled and took the phone.

"Hello, I'm Fang Tianfeng."

"Master Fang, I'm out of town and didn't expect them to do this. When I return, I'll punish them and throw a banquet to calm you down. Rest assured, the new property manager will be there soon, and from now on, your word is my word. This time, I'll send professional security guards for you to choose from, to replace the freeloaders."

"Alright, I'll choose a few professional security guards. However, Manager Bi colluded with a police officer named Xiao Gu to arrest me. I've noted his badge number and plan to file a complaint with the inspector."

"Master Fang, if you file a complaint personally, it will be a slap in my face. Just tell me the badge number, and I'll make sure you're satisfied!"

Fang Tianfeng looked at the police officer named Xiao Gu and slowly recited the badge number.

The middle-aged officer, seeing this, knew Xiao Gu was finished.

After reciting the badge number, Fang Tianfeng added, "The other officer who responded with him is quite good."

"Alright, I'll note this badge number. I understand. I know you're upset, so I won't say more. If you're still angry, teach those bastards a lesson. Hit them as much as you want, just don't kill them."

"Thank you for your help today."

"You're too kind."

"You're busy."

"Alright, I'll hang up. Goodbye, Master Fang."

"Goodbye."

Fang Tianfeng threw the phone to Manager Bi, slightly raising his chin, and asked, "You said one phone call would land me in jail for life, didn't you?"
