Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Background_1
Over the years, Tie Santong has been able to behave so oppressively and collect wealth so ruthlessly only because he had his big brother backing him up from above.
This was actually known only to a few people at the top, and for the sake of Tie Santong’s older brother, they turned a blind eye.
But when someone of Bu Hongwei’s level got involved, it really became a difficult situation to handle.
"General Bu, what brings Your Excellency here, this commotion, ah, it’s all my fault!"
Tie Santong hurriedly put on a sycophantic smile and approached Bu Hongwei, "General Bu, I will take all the blame for today’s incident, it was my fault for looking down on others."
"Please look at my brother’s face and spare me."
Tie Santong had completely lost his previous arrogant demeanor and instead adopted a fawning attitude, which was nauseating to look at.
Bu Hongwei looked at Ye Fei, saying, "You brazenly came to smash up this place, you should ask them how to deal with it, why ask me?"
Tie Santong quickly pleaded to Ye Fei, "Mr. Ye, my fault, all my fault, you see, I haven’t actually caused any real damage, right?"
"I’ll host a banquet for you tomorrow, as the saying goes, no fight, no acquaintance, right? Can you just let this go, please?"
Although his words were very humble, Tie Santong’s eyes were entirely focused on Bu Hongwei.
Clearly, if it were not for Bu Hongwei standing his ground again, this guy would have already jumped up and bitten someone.
Ye Fei was inclined to give this guy a hard time.
But at that moment, Gao Feng, standing behind him, tugged at Ye Fei, signaling with his eyes not to make a move.
Ye Fei was surprised, then turned to look at Bu Hongwei.
At this point, Bu Hongwei also intended to minimize the issue.
It seemed.
That Tie Santong indeed had no simple background.
Punishing Tie Santong was necessary, since ’a grudge must be avenged’ was Ye Fei’s consistent belief, no matter how small.
However, today it seemed not to be feasible.
With a forced smile, Ye Fei said to Tie Santong, "There’s no need for a meal, just don’t bother me in the future."
Tie Santong laughed loudly, extending his hand, "How could I dare? Not to mention General Bu’s recent battle, what else can I say?"
Tie Santong’s hand hung in midair for quite some time, but Ye Fei ignored it.
After being left hanging for a while, Tie Santong felt awkward and withdrew his hand, saying, "Well then, if that’s the case, I’ll take my leave."
Soon, all of Tie Santong’s men withdrew from Yueru Medical Hall.
After watching them leave, Bu Hongwei turned to Ye Fei and said, "Some things cannot be solved with just a few words or a pair of fists."
"Tie Santong’s older brother turned to business after retiring."
"So his old friends and some disciples still have a say, and you should understand what I mean."
Ye Fei nodded in realization, unable to refrain from a light chuckle.
Tie Santong’s influence was intricate and not easy to disturb.
To deal with him secretly would not be satisfying.
It seemed that a long-term plan was required.
"I truly owe you one for today, General Bu, I appreciate you coming all this way to help me out."
Bu Hongwei certainly didn’t mind these matters and responded with a smile, "You’ve helped the Qingyunzhou War Department so much, and you’ve helped us take the championship at the Qianyuan Competition; I should be the one thanking you."
Ye Fei smiled and waved his hand; he was only interested in that treasure from the Qianyuan Competition.
At that moment, Bu Hongwei said, "The treasure from the championship has been escorted from Canglangzhou and will arrive tomorrow. I’ll have someone send it to your house."
Ye Fei’s heart lifted with joy, finally having something to look forward to.
After saying goodbye to Bu Hongwei, Gao Feng approached and spoke with Ye Fei.
"I didn’t expect Mr. Ye to have connections with General Bu!" Gao Feng had been surprised for a while, only daring to speak after Bu Hongwei had left.
Ye Fei laughed lightly and gestured, "Just pretend you don’t know about this. After all, that man is from the War Department, and I only dared to ask him to come after losing face."
Gao Feng immediately felt an immense admiration for Ye Fei.
Suddenly, Ye Fei asked, "That brother of Tie Santong, do you know anything about him?"
Gao Feng answered, "I’m not very sure, only that he holds significant power. He performed well before retiring, and after entering the business world, he became quite a big shot in the southern six provinces."
"However, I heard that Huang San is also under his protection, which is why he’s so brazen."
Ye Fei nodded, understanding.
So they were all part of the same nest of rats. No wonder he had made the effort to come from so far to cause trouble for him.
"Alright, let’s tidy up and get ready to receive patients again, these are just minor issues."
Ye Fei gave a few instructions and then drove home.
...
Back at his residence, Tie Santong and his people discovered that someone was already there.
"Brother Tong? How did it go?"
As soon as Tie Santong entered the room, a man immediately came forward, both massaging his shoulders and kneading his legs, excessively attentive.
This person was none other than Huang San.
Huang San chuckled with a grin, revealing his yellow teeth, "Brother Tong, did you take care of Ye Fei?"
Tie Santong helplessly waved his hand, "That kid actually knows Bu Hongwei; couldn’t touch him."
"Bu Hongwei?" Huang San was instantly dumbfounded.
Even a general from the War Department was involved?
"Damn, just what is Ye Fei’s background?" Huang San cursed, stomping his feet in anger.
Tie Santong said helplessly, "I think you should just let it go and not provoke Ye Fei. If it weren’t for my brother’s face, I might not have been able to walk out there today."
Huang San fell silent.
His gaze slowly drifted off into the distance.
If openly it wouldn’t work, couldn’t he try something underhanded?
