Chapter 938 - 938: Used as a Tool

Inside the hospital, Black Cat lay on the hospital bed, eating a patient's meal while scolding his two subordinates.

"Useless! Absolutely fucking useless!"

Black Cat gritted his teeth and said, "I told you two to help fight, but what did you do? You sat at someone's door eating sunflower seeds all morning.

Just wait, I'll get you a hundred pounds of seeds later, and you must finish them in one day. If not, see how I deal with you!"

The two subordinates felt like dying, especially when they heard the words "eating sunflower seeds," which made them shiver reflexively.

After this incident, the two of them basically bid farewell to sunflower seeds as a snack for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Ma Zimeng, with light makeup, walked in expressionlessly.

The two subordinates exchanged a glance and sensibly withdrew, closing the door behind them.

Ma Zimeng said nothing, just stared quietly at Black Cat.

Before long, Black Cat's expression began to change.

Sometimes, silence can provoke the most thoughts.

Ma Zimeng's expression and demeanor were perfectly on point.

It could be seen as disappointment, but it could also be interpreted as disdain.

"Bang!"

Black Cat slammed his fist on the bedside cabinet and said in a muffled voice, "Give me three days, no! One day!"

Ma Zimeng frowned slightly, touched her smooth chin, and asked puzzledly, "One day for what?"

"I'll make Xiao Feng come and apologize in person," Black Cat said harshly.

"You know, I'm not interested in any apology," Ma Zimeng shook her head and chuckled.

Black Cat's mouth twitched twice and said, "An apology is just the beginning. Afterward, they either have to close shop and leave, or they have to listen to us."

"You... can do it?"

"When I say I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Ma Zimeng nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news."

After saying this, she turned to leave.

"Wait!" Black Cat pulled the blanket aside and said, "Leaving so soon?"

Ma Zimeng's eyebrows furrowed sharply, but she quickly regained her composure, smiling, "You rascal, still so restless even in the hospital."

Black Cat rested his hands behind his head and grinned wickedly, "Can't help it, it's not a lack of willpower, it's how tempting you are."

"Phew..." Ma Zimeng let out a long breath, suppressing her inner disgust, and walked over step by step.

She proficiently undid the other's belt, continually telling herself, "Just endure a bit more, just a little longer and this will all be over in a few days."

Half an hour later, Ma Zimeng left the hospital.

The driver opened the car door for her. Only then did she get in the driver's seat and asked, "Boss Ma, where to next?"

"Just stop at any flower shop," Ma Zimeng said casually, recalling earlier scenes in the ward, a hint of hatred flashing through her eyes.

...

By evening, after delivering parcels, Xiao Feng returned to his shop.

Normally, this would be something for subordinates to handle, but unfortunately, no one was available, so he had to do it himself.

"Close the shop early today and go listen to Neng Ren's lecture," Xiao Feng said.

Du Qingyue asked, "Have you seen what that Neng Ren is capable of?"

"I've seen it, he's got some skills, and what he teaches is practical," Xiao Feng replied blandly.

"Alright, let's head back early then," Du Qingyue agreed, tidying up as she spoke, "By the way, Ma Zimeng came by this afternoon to apologize and brought a bouquet."

"Besides apologizing, did she say anything else?"

Du Qingyue thought for a moment and replied, "Apart from apologizing, she said she has severed ties with Black Cat. If Black Cat causes us trouble later, it has nothing to do with her."

"She says it doesn't matter, so it doesn't?" Xiao Feng found it amusing.

After finishing tidying up, the group left the shop.

Xiao Feng seemed to think of something and signaled Du Qingyue to take the little girl and others back while he stayed at the shop door.

Du Qingyue was somewhat puzzled but nodded in agreement, giving him a few reminders before heading back to Jinyue Garden first.

In her mind, the reason Xiao Feng stayed was probably to confront Ma Zimeng and Black Cat again for a warning.

To say she wasn't worried at all would be a lie.

What worried Du Qingyue was that Xiao Feng might lose his temper and escalate the situation, which could bring bad consequences.

But there's no other way; if you're bullied and don't fight back, even she, Du Qingyue, wouldn't tolerate it!

However, in reality, Xiao Feng had something else in mind.

It was the fact that Ma Zimeng had deliberately showed that she had cut ties with Black Cat. There should be something more to this...

Just as he pondered, three vans stopped not far away, totaling about twenty people got out, each wearing a mask and holding a window breaker.

Xiao Feng's gaze sharpened, recognizing Black Cat, who he'd kicked flying earlier in the day, at the forefront.

As he identified the group, he vaguely understood something...

Facing the hastily approaching group of twenty, Xiao Feng took two steps forward and sneered, "It's not even fully dark yet, and you're already planning to smash my windows?"

However, the masked Black Cat kept moving, not responding, seemingly planning to "deceive himself as well as others."

It's impossible to wake someone pretending to sleep.

At that moment, Black Cat resolved that as long as he smashed the glass and left, without speaking or being caught on camera, no one could touch him.

Xiao Feng shook his head and sighed. If he couldn't wake up these pretending sleepers, he'd just have to wake them up by force.

So, within a short minute, over twenty people stood in place as if a "Body Stabilization Technique" had been cast, maintaining a motionless posture.

This scene was somewhat bizarre, drawing a lot of glances from passersby, who suspected these people were performing some kind of performance art.

"What... what's going on here?" Black Cat, the only one who hadn't been pricked by an anesthetic dart, said with eyes full of terror.

Xiao Feng didn't waste words, grabbing his collar and dragging him to a van.

"Bang!"

After closing the door, Xiao Feng turned his head to look at Black Cat, who'd fallen onto the back seat, and smiled, "You can continue to pretend to be deaf and mute, really."

"What are you going to do?" Black Cat unconsciously swallowed, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, clearly very nervous.

Xiao Feng pondered, "Typically, I don't have a habit of showing mercy to my enemies.

However, what annoys me more is being used as a tool by others."

"What do you mean?" Black Cat asked with a grimace.

"Are you really that naive? Or did you not notice at all?" Xiao Feng chuckled, "Ma Zimeng wants to use me to get rid of you."

Black Cat opened his mouth, though he said nothing, his reaction clearly showed disbelief.

Xiao Feng didn't care, merely saying, "You can think I'm trying to sow discord. I'm just telling you, even though I don't like being used as a tool, it's up to you to show some awareness.

There's a saying, 'If you seek your own death, not even the gods can save you.'

If you're hell-bent on seeking death, I don't mind helping you along."

After speaking, Xiao Feng opened the car door and walked away.
