He Feng's expression was stern. He glanced at the gangsters and said seriously, "I'll say it again. I'm here to see your boss Zhang Ling. Remember, I'm only saying this once. Do you understand?"

These hooligans had never expected He Feng to dare to call the boss by his name. In their eyes, this was simply disrespectful to the boss. The hooligans in the lead were immediately furious and rolled up their sleeves to rush over to deal with He Feng, swearing and swearing.

He Feng turned to look at Ma Xin with a soothing look in his eyes and said, "Don't move here. I'll come over after I take care of some small things. I won't let you be in danger." Ma Xin nodded slightly and didn't say much. She just stood there quietly. She believed that He Feng was capable of handling the situation.

He Feng turned around and faced the thugs charging at him without panicking. He flashed and struck quickly, his movements clean and sharp. In the blink of an eye, the thugs were subdued, sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

He Feng looked at the thug lying on the ground and emphasized again, "I told you, I want to see your boss, Zhang Ling. Remember, I'm only saying this once, understand? If you keep talking nonsense, the consequences will be even worse than this."

Those hooligans were frightened by He Feng's skills and momentum. They crawled to their feet and ran out in a hurry, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing them.

He Feng looked at their disheveled backs, frowned slightly, then simply straightened his clothes and tidied up the surroundings a little.

Ma Xin walked forward and looked at He Feng with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He said, "I didn't expect you to have such a violent side. You really scared me just now."

He Feng smiled, and the stern look on his face softened a lot. He said, "This is the only way to deal with these little hooligans. There's no point trying to reason with them. They only recognize fists. Only by letting them know how powerful we are will they obey."

Ma Xin listened and nodded gently without saying anything more. He Feng walked to the table nearby, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for himself and Ma Xin, and said, "Sit down for a while. I guess Zhang Ling will be down soon."

Sure enough, not long after, footsteps were heard again at the stairs. Zhang Ling walked down the stairs slowly. Although he didn't know who was going to mess things up, he knew that the person who had caused his gang to flee in such a panic must be someone powerful, and he couldn't help but become alert.

Zhang Ling was bustling about in the restaurant, directing the waiters to set up the tables and chairs, and put out the tableware, in preparation for the upcoming peak business. He glanced up and saw He Feng walk in. He was startled, for He Feng was the director, usually aloof and would not easily set foot in such a place. He quickly put down his work, greeted him with a broad smile, and said respectfully, "Director, I am honored to see you. What can I do for you?"

He Feng looked solemnly, looked around, and said to Zhang Ling, "Let's find a private room to talk." His voice was low and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not delay even a moment. He hurriedly led the way, bringing He Feng to a quiet private room at the back of the restaurant. Once inside, Zhang Ling cautiously asked, "Director, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He Feng didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced at the men following Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling instantly understood what He Feng meant and quickly waved his hand for them to leave. After they closed the door and left, only He Feng and Zhang Ling remained in the room.

He Feng then turned his gaze to Zhang Ling and asked seriously, "Have you been doing business smoothly lately?"

Zhang Ling's heart tightened, but he forced a smile and said, "Director, what are you talking about? I've always been law-abiding and a good citizen, and I've always done business in a proper manner."

He Feng ignored Zhang Ling's rhetoric and pulled out the photo Ma Xin had carefully drawn. He handed it to Zhang Ling and said, "I'm looking for you this time because I want you to find these two people for me. What do you think?"

Zhang Ling took the photo, glanced at it, and groaned inwardly. He looked at He Feng with a troubled expression and said, "Director, this is really hard for me to handle. You know, finding someone is not an easy task. Besides, I don't know who these two people are, so where do I start?"

He Feng's face darkened upon hearing this. He slowly stood up, looked down at Zhang Ling, and said coldly, "Zhang Ling, if you don't want me to start harassing you tomorrow, then you'd better think about it carefully. By then, it's hard to say whether your restaurant can open smoothly. You'd better think it over carefully." He Feng's eyes revealed a sense of majesty and irresistible momentum.

Zhang Ling's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say, "Director, you're threatening me!"

He Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer, and said, "Even if you know I'm threatening you here, what can you do? If I want to, I will definitely close your restaurant. You can do whatever you want."

Zhang Ling wanted to argue a few more times, but before he could say anything, He Feng stood up and prepared to walk out the door.

Zhang Ling was immediately anxious. This restaurant was his life's work. If the Director caught wind of this, it would be all over. He quickly stood up, caught up with He Feng, and said with a smile, "Director, what are you talking about? I'll go find my brothers and investigate this matter. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. How's that?"

Seeing Zhang Ling relax, He Feng finally smiled and said to Zhang Ling, "Boss Zhang, I'll wait for your news. I hope you won't let me down."

Zhang Ling nodded hurriedly, saying repeatedly, "Of course, of course. Don't worry, Director."

He Feng pushed the door open and walked out of the private room. Ma Xin was waiting outside. Seeing He Feng coming out, she walked up to him and said with a hint of doubt, "He Feng, is this your idea?"

He Feng nodded, looked at Ma Xin seriously and said, "Some things naturally require the help of these gangsters. After all, they know a lot of people from all walks of life and are well-informed. Maybe through them, we can find the person we are looking for faster."

Afterwards, He Feng immediately went to several other small hideouts. He knew that the more people he went out to look, the greater his chances of finding the two people would be.

Before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened. He Feng looked at his watch and realized it was getting late, so he sent Ma Xin home first. On the way home, the two of them discussed their plan to find the two men.
