chapter 18 Heroes

After Officer Li left, the room was left with only Jing Bai and Fei Shen. Jing Bai looked at Fei Shen and asked, "This time, do you still want to make a phone call?"

"Don't worry, I won't give you a hard time. If you want to leave, go ahead. Those guys you beat up are no good people, and the police have been looking for evidence of their crimes," Jing Bai said calmly.

"That's nice to hear. But, it's rare to see Officer Bai again, and I'd like to spend a little more time with Officer Bai," Fei Shen said with a grin.

Jing Bai looked at Fei Shen, feeling infuriated. This jerk was actually trying to flirt with her!

With a cold snort, Jing Bai turned and walked towards the door. She felt that staying even a second longer with this jerk was torture because his lecherous gaze was just too much.

She kept urging him to leave, hoping that the people waiting outside would grab him and rough him up. After that, she would have a reason to get involved in the case and apprehend those lawless thugs outside, a win-win situation.

Little did she know that this jerk was surprisingly clever and refused to leave. Fei Shen was well aware that those arrogant guys were definitely waiting outside. If he took action, he could easily handle them, but trouble was the last thing he wanted to get into.

It was rare to have a safe haven like this, and staying here wasn't a bad idea.

Fei Shen's refusal to come out was making Feifei Ouyang and Mengmeng Jiang, waiting outside, very anxious. They wanted to talk some sense into Fei Shen, but sending him to the police station would be too cruel.

Feifei Ouyang hesitated for a while and finally decided to call her father. The situation had escalated beyond their control.

Half an hour later, Cheng Ouyang rushed over with a seductive and beautiful woman by his side. When he saw Fei Shen, he knew his worries were unfounded. It seemed like there was no one in this world who could outsmart Fei Shen.

Fei Shen leaned back in his chair, feet up on the interrogation table, and had a cigarette in his mouth. White Snow, who was following him, saw this scene and rolled her eyes silently. This was the second time this jerk had opened the handcuffs she put on him.

While annoyed, she couldn't help but be a little curious about him.

"Oh, Old Ouyang, why are you here? Is this woman your new find? You've got a good eye!" Fei Shen grinned.

Cheng Ouyang looked at Fei Shen in exasperation and said, "Mr. Yang, please don't mind. My friend here has a rather unruly personality, and his mouth has no filter."

Time seemed to have left no trace on the mature woman who was with Cheng Ouyang. On the contrary, with the passage of time, her charm seemed to have grown even stronger.

Fei Shen could tell that this woman was not young, at least older than him, but the older she was, the more captivating she appeared.

Seeming to notice Fei Shen's scrutiny, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mr. Ouyang, don't be so polite. In my eyes, this young man is quite interesting."

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the owner of the First Sight Bar. Today, some misunderstandings occurred, and I hope you won't take it to heart," the woman said with a smile.

Cheng Ouyang always cared about his reputation.

Yan Yang thought that leaving behind these pleasantries would be enough to settle the matter. However, it seemed she was mistaken.

Cheng Ouyang remained silent in response to her words. In fact, whether Cheng Ouyang cared or not was not important; it was whether Fei Shen cared that mattered.

When Fei Shen heard that the alluring woman before him was the owner of the First Sight Bar, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Since you have pets, you should learn to discipline them. This time, for the sake of Cheng Ouyang's face, I won't make a fuss," Fei Shen said coldly.

She should consider herself lucky; she was dealing with the current Fei Shen. If it were the old Fei Shen, he would show no mercy in such a situation. Now, he didn't want to get into trouble for himself or Cheng Ouyang.

Yan Yang, upon hearing this, displayed a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. Then, she glanced at Fei Shen and smiled lightly, "So, I should thank you for being lenient."

From this, it could be seen that this woman was quite politically savvy. However, Fei Shen didn't pay much attention to it; he had no interest in playing games of intrigue with her. He had said he wouldn't make a fuss this time, and he meant it. But if there were a next time, he wouldn't show any mercy.

Arguing with subordinates was beneath him and not worth his time. However, for people like Yan Yang with status and background, as long as they offended him, Fei Shen wouldn't go easy on them.

Fei Shen just gave Yan Yang a cold glance and remained silent. Cheng Ouyang also had no intention of engaging in conversation. In fact, he had a favorable impression of Yan Yang, but her actions today didn't sit well with him.

The reason he had brought Yan Yang along was not only for Fei Shen but also for her. However, some things could only be understood and not spoken. Yan Yang clearly didn't grasp his meaning.

Cheng Ouyang knew that in this world, wealth and power were not the only ways to destroy a person. There were people who could silently take your life, like Fei Shen.

However, this incident eventually came to an end in an unpleasant manner. Fei Shen took a step and casually left the interrogation room. As he passed by Jing Bai, he couldn't help but glance at her chest and said, "Goodbye, beautiful!"

In Jing Bai's embarrassed and angry gaze, Fei Shen laughed heartily and left.

In fact, he should have taken action today, but now it seemed he couldn't be bothered with so many troubles.

Cheng Ouyang intentionally fell behind Fei Shen by a few steps, his gaze lingering on Yan Yang with a hint of indifference.

"Why is Mr. Ouyang looking at me like that?" Yan Yang gazed at Cheng Ouyang, her shrewd mind already discerning that Cheng Ouyang was not pleased with her.

"In consideration of my friendship with your brother, let me remind you: put away thoughts you shouldn't have. You can disregard me, Cheng Ouyang, but there are some people you shouldn't provoke, just as the Yang family shouldn't," Cheng Ouyang coldly stated.

Fei Shen's identity was enough to terrify anyone, no matter how you presented it. Leaving aside any debts of gratitude or Fei Shen's background, just Fei Shen himself was enough to command Cheng Ouyang's respect.

To be an opponent to a man like this? That would only bring you misfortune! Cheng Ouyang knew that such a man, even if defeated, would have many others accompany him to the grave.

After Cheng Ouyang's stern words, he left with big strides, leaving Yan Yang with a gloomy and uncertain gaze.

Was it just empty threats, or was Cheng Ouyang genuinely trying to warn her?

Fei Shen understood Cheng Ouyang's intentions but had no intention of revealing them. In fact, letting Cheng Ouyang give the other party a warning could save Fei Shen a lot of trouble.

Fei Shen approached Feifei Ouyang and Mengmeng Jiang and playfully tapped each of their heads. In the midst of their angry and frustrated expressions, he left with a big laugh.

Cheng Ouyang's house was where Mengmeng Jiang and Feifei Ouyang planned to stay for the night. Fei Shen sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette.

Cheng Ouyang looked somewhat embarrassed as he stood in front of Fei Shen. "Don't blame me for today's incident."

"Why would I blame you? If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be sitting in the police station. In the end, I'm just an old tiger without teeth now. I don't want to cause trouble, and I don't have the energy for it either," Fei Shen said, taking a drag of his cigarette.

Cheng Ouyang heard this and couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation. A hero in the past, Fei Shen now seemed so forlorn.

"I didn't do much, why are you making a fuss? To be honest, there's something I should tell you," Fei Shen continued.

"What is it?" Cheng Ouyang asked.

"Do you remember why I came to Zhonghai?" Fei Shen inquired.

Cheng Ouyang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He had been quite surprised by Fei Shen's sudden arrival, but if Fei Shen didn't want to talk about it, Cheng Ouyang didn't intend to pry.

"Remember five years ago? I came to Zhonghai and saved a woman in a bar, and then I had a child with her! That's also the reason I came to Zhonghai. That woman works at Tianxue International!" Fei Shen explained truthfully.

"I... I never expected that!" Cheng Ouyang exclaimed with a sense of wonder.

Originally, Cheng Ouyang had intended to introduce his daughter to Fei Shen, but now it seemed impossible, as Fei Shen already had a child. While he was glad that Fei Shen had found a purpose in life, he couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

Previously, Cheng Ouyang had been puzzled about why Fei Shen insisted on going to Tianxue International. Now, he finally understood.

"Actually, I only found out recently," Fei Shen sighed softly.

"Then, what about you?" Cheng Ouyang hesitated to ask.

"I owe them mother and daughter five years. I haven't even acknowledged them yet," Fei Shen said as he gazed at the starry sky outside, filled with melancholy.

Some things had been buried deep in his heart and were not something to be kept hidden. Cheng Ouyang was a good person, and Fei Shen had no reason to conceal anything from him. Letting Cheng Ouyang guess on his own wouldn't be right.

"As for today's matter, I want to thank you. If you have any relationship with that woman, you can pass on a message: if she doesn't actively provoke me, I have no intention of causing trouble. You should know that my current status and position are too delicate," Fei Shen said with a smile.

Cheng Ouyang nodded, but at that moment, his phone rang. He answered it under Fei Shen's gaze.

"It's Mr. Yang? Together? Alright, I'll ask!" Cheng Ouyang said into the phone before hanging up and looking at Fei Shen.

"Yan Yang's brother wants to meet me and asked if you could join us," Cheng Ouyang said with a smile.

Was it a test? Certainly, it was also an attempt to resolve conflicts.

They exchanged a knowing glance and understood each other's thoughts.

"You can go by yourself. I have no intention of getting involved with them," Fei Shen shook his head and said calmly.

"Alright," Cheng Ouyang nodded.

Fei Shen knew that Cheng Ouyang was a capable person, and if someone invited him, declining the invitation might be seen as disrespectful. However, Fei Shen felt that there was no need to give them any face.

He didn't have a good impression of the First Sight Bar and the Yang family after what he had witnessed today. Did the Yang family not know how overbearing their actions were?

Fei Shen's message was simple: this was the end of it. Cheng Ouyang was a wise man, and he would make things clear. If they continued to pester him, Fei Shen might be reluctant to cause trouble, but he was more than capable of dealing with a few individuals, especially those in positions of power.
