Chapter 72: So silly, so naive!

  After dialing Xu Tian's phone number, it rang for a long time before the other end picked up. Tang Feng clearly heard a woman's soft complaining voice on the other end, and furrowed his brow. His good impression of Xu Tian decreased significantly in his heart.

  "Hey, what's with the call at this hour? Spit it out, I'm busy with official business!" Xu Tian's voice was somewhat irate.

  Tang Feng furrowed his brow, "Are you still yelling at me? This number is our direct contact, as soon as the phone rang, Xu Tian should have known it was me." Tang Feng's mood was already bad, and now hearing Xu Tian speak to him in this tone made him even more displeased. He coldly said: "Get Old Man Zhang to contact me within 10 minutes, otherwise you will absolutely not be able to bear the consequences!" After finishing, Tang Feng hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Tian's response.

  Lying on the chair, Tang Feng lifted his head high and closed his eyes to stretch his waist. He had already decided to report this matter to the higher-ups. After a fierce ideological struggle, loyalty finally triumphed over righteousness. Perhaps tomorrow Huaxing Society would disappear, but he couldn't care about that anymore. Without a country, there is no home; if the country is gone, even if Huaxing Society survives, it will be meaningless. He did not doubt the power of the masses; if this recording were made public, he believed 100% that the masses would rise up and rebel - no one could tolerate an enemy standing above them, and Japan was clearly a common enemy of the entire nation!

  After hearing Tang Feng's serious tone, Xu Tian didn't dare to be careless. After hanging up the phone, he furrowed his brow and thought for less than ten seconds before dialing General Zhang's number. Xu Tian was merely a messenger between the two men.

  The phone on the desk rang, and Tang Feng answered it directly: "Grandfather Zhang, I have important intelligence to report to you!"

  "Oh? What's going on? Tell me." General Zhang seemed to still be rather nonchalant about it.

  Tang Feng then told General Zhang everything he had heard.

  "Are you telling the truth? This kind of thing can't be joked about!" General Zhang seemed still somewhat skeptical.

  "I have the recording of their conversation here, and I think it's easy to distinguish whether it's their voice or not through high-tech means." Having reported this, Tang Feng felt a lot lighter, after all, this matter was too serious, and his previous pressure was indeed not small.

  "After a moment of silence, General Zhang said: 'Well, if it's true, then you've done well this time. Does anyone else know about these things?'"

  "It's gone, I didn't tell anyone, and the recording was stored on my phone." Tang Feng said calmly.

  "Alright, you keep it safe for now. I'll go report to Number One and after we've studied and decided, we'll send someone trustworthy to XA to retrieve the item directly from you. We'll call you then. In the meantime, you must ensure the safety and authenticity of this thing! Otherwise, no one can bear the consequences!" General Zhang's voice was exceptionally stern.

  General Zhang surprisingly didn't trust himself, Tang Feng furrowed his brow, somewhat discontentedly saying: "I can guarantee the authenticity of this matter with my life, as for safety, currently no one knows except me. As long as nobody above leaks it out, I absolutely can guarantee his safety."

  General Zhang sensed the dissatisfaction in Tang Feng's words and sighed, saying: "Don't mind it either, you also understand what this thing means. If not for hearing it with my own ears, how many people would believe it? Alright, this matter can't be delayed, I'll go find No. 1 and contact you later."

  Tang Feng also understood the reason, but the matter of Hua Xing Society had made him feel very bad, and his emotions were inevitably a bit violent. Seeing General Zhang about to hang up the phone, Tang Feng hastily said: "General Zhang, can you think of a way to help Hua Xing Society? Now Hua Xing Society is facing pressure from both the local government and the Black Dragon Society. You also know that Hua Xing Society has just established itself in XA and its strength is still too weak. Just the pressure from the local government is already almost unbearable, and now with the addition of the Black Dragon Society, if there's no support from above at this time, Hua Xing Society may disappear." Tang Feng was making his last effort, he really couldn't give up on Hua Xing Society.

  It's been a while since there was any sound from that end, and after a moment, Old Man Zhang finally said: "I really want to help you, but right now it's not possible for us to take action to help you. We can't just directly order the local government to stop their actions against Huaxing Society, can we? If we do that, then Huaxing Society will be completely exposed. You need to understand the severity of this matter. If the people find out that the government is supporting a gang, can you imagine how big of an impact that would have? That's just how it is. You guys can hold on if you can, the investigation team will set off the day after tomorrow. If you can't hold on, then first make sure to ensure your own safety. With the three of your abilities, it's absolutely no problem to protect yourselves. As long as you're alive, there will be opportunities in the future. If necessary, we'd rather choose to sacrifice! Do you understand?" After finishing speaking, General Zhang directly hung up the phone, and Tang Feng didn't even have a chance to speak.

  Listening to the noise in his ear, Tang Feng's facial muscles twitched non-stop, and he slammed a fist on the table, instantly punching a big hole in it. He thought to himself: Can they hold on? Facing the local government's large police force and the world-renowned old-school black society Black Dragon Society's masters, how can Huaxing Society hold on? Even if it were just the three of them facing such powerful enemies, there wouldn't be much chance of winning, let alone those ordinary brothers!

  At this moment, Tang Feng began to be dissatisfied with the higher-ups and even started to doubt why he was doing all these things. He couldn't figure out whether he was loyal to the people or to those high-ranking officials. What was he serving by doing all these? They abandoned everything for a word from their brothers, but now they were abandoning themselves like this. What did that make him? In their eyes, he was probably not even worth as much as an ant! Or was he just a obedient dog in their eyes? He didn't believe the government really couldn't do anything, if only the government sent some people to secretly help Huaxing Society, they might have been able to save it. But now? They chose to mind their own business, afraid of being associated with Huaxing Society!

  Tang Feng's crashing of the table startled FeiFei and Xu Qiang downstairs, and they rushed up to see the almost shattered table and Tang Feng with a ferocious expression and bloodshot eyes.

  "Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Seeing Tang Feng like this, FeiFei was so anxious that she almost cried, and hurriedly ran up to grab Tang Feng's hand which was scratched by the wooden shavings.

  Tang Feng smiled and said: "Nothing, it's been a long time since I've exercised, let me see if my strength has decreased." After finishing, Tang Feng looked at Xu Qiang and asked: "Where is the dagger man?"

  "He's gone out and hasn't come back yet, Boss. What's going on?" Xu Qiang asked Tang Feng in a daze.

  Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Nothing, you all go out, I want to be alone for a while."

  "But your hand..." Feifei held her still-bleeding hand, and tears of heartache kept falling.

  With one hand stroking Feifei's head, Tang Feng said softly: "Brother is fine, you go down first, I'll be right down."

  Knowing that Tang Feng's temper was stubborn, Fei Fei could only stand up and walk out with three steps back. She felt heartbroken and puzzled - what could have made her brother so angry? Since she got to know him, she had only seen him lose his temper twice: once when she was bullied by Lin Fang, and the other time was now. Brother's eyes revealed disappointment and sadness - why did he have such a look in his eyes?

  Feifei walked to the door and was about to close it when Tang Feng suddenly said, "Feifei, don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't abandon you. I'll always protect you." After saying that, he waved his hand for Feifei to close the door.

  Fei Fei didn't know why her brother said that, but she knew it was pointless to ask. She obediently closed the door, but in her heart, she was even more worried - for no reason at all, why did her brother say that?
