Seeing her father being so shameless, Zhang Qinyao was livid with anger!
She pointed at Zhang Dajiang's nose and said, "Zhang Dajiang, get lost! I don't want to see you right now!"
"You're rebelling! You're coming with me now, you have to go!" Zhang Dajiang was also furious, directly grabbing Zhang Qinyao's arm, trying to stop a taxi and forcibly drag Zhang Qinyao into it.
After all, this was the back gate of the school, where more and more students were passing by. Zhang Qinyao, the campus beauty, being dragged like this in such a humiliating manner, was almost driven to tears!
At this moment, Jiang Feng finally couldn't stand by and watch any longer, and calmly walked towards the father and daughter.
"Feng... Brother Feng, why are you here?" Zhang Qinyao was shocked to see Jiang Feng appear, but immediately felt intensely ashamed—Jiang Feng had seen her in her most embarrassing state!
"What's going on?" Jiang Feng, although he had heard most of it, still frowned and asked Zhang Qinyao.
"Brother Feng, this is my dad. He's forcing me..." Zhang Qinyao couldn't bear to say it out loud; this matter was too humiliating to bring up!
At this time, Zhang Dajiang also noticed Jiang Feng, felt unfamiliar, never seen him before, so he simply ignored him, just focused on dragging Zhang Qinyao away.
"Zhang Dajiang, let go!" Zhang Qinyao couldn't bear it any longer and forcefully shook off Zhang Dajiang's hand, feeling her face about to be completely lost because of him!
"Brother Feng." Zhang Qinyao walked towards Jiang Feng with red eyes, extremely embarrassed.
"What exactly is going on?" Jiang Feng asked calmly.
"My dad was involved in gambling, lost 500,000 at 'Lei's Casino'! Then the boss there, Lei Bao, hearing that he's my father, wanted him to bring me there to entertain guests." Zhang Qinyao said indignantly.
"You know Lei Bao?" Jiang Feng asked the key question.
"Yes. Back in middle school, Lei Bao was a well-known thug in that area! Brother Feng, do you remember Qi Guangyu? You saw him once at Hongyue Building—he used to be Tang Fei's lackey, and now he's mixed up with Lei Bao. This must be all part of his plan; he was my former senior and had always been interested in me. Now, the two of them have definitely conspired to use my dad to trap me."
Zhang Qinyao didn't want Jiang Feng to know about these shameful pasts, but there was no other choice now other than to tell him the truth.
Jiang Feng remembered, that day at Hongyue Building, a group led by Tang Fei tried to make a move against Nangong Qingcheng and Liu Shiyuan, but he had punished them severely. Back then, Qi Guangyu was even thrown out by the neck by him, breaking several bones. And now, with his injuries not even fully healed, he's back to harass Zhang Qinyao?
"Who are you? Do I need you to interfere in the affairs between me and my daughter? Step aside!" At this point, Zhang Dajiang was growing increasingly impatient. From Jiang Feng's appearance and clothing, he didn't seem wealthy or powerful, and he didn't want to waste time, directly glaring at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng coldly glanced at Zhang Dajiang, astonished that there was still such a scumbag of a father in the world, who knew full well it was a fire pit ahead and was still pushing his daughter into it.
"Zhang Dajiang, shut up! Don't you shout at Brother Feng!" Zhang Qinyao immediately scolded!
She could tolerate her father's unreasonable antics, but absolutely couldn't allow him to be rude to Jiang Feng—this was her bottom line!
Zhang Dajiang was dumbfounded, thinking this suddenly appeared Jiang Feng was just an ordinary suitor of his daughter, but seeing now, that doesn't seem to be the case! His daughter was actually defending him so adamantly?!
"I'm Zhang Qinyao's friend." Jiang Feng calmly said to Zhang Dajiang, "You're her father, right? Let go of her first. Even you have no right to make her do things she doesn't want to do."
The word "friend" instantly brought Zhang Qinyao to tears!
She had finally waited for this moment! Jiang Feng called her "friend"!
To Zhang Qinyao, these two words meant immense acceptance and recognition!
Almost, if not for biting her cherry lips, Zhang Qinyao might have burst into tears!
"Friend? I don't know you, I told you not to meddle, you're an outsider, what gives you the right to intervene in our family's matters!" Zhang Dajiang still spoke harshly to Jiang Feng!
"Zhang Dajiang, I'll remind you again, be polite to Brother Feng, or you'll regret it before you know it!" Zhang Qinyao sternly warned her father without revealing too much about Jiang Feng.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dajiang furrowed his brows and couldn't help but reassess Jiang Feng. Yet, despite his scrutiny, he couldn't see anything special about Jiang Feng, certainly not seeing incorrectly!
"Him? Why should I regret anything for this guy? What on earth is he?" Zhang Dajiang spoke dismissively.
"You...!" Zhang Qinyao was so angry her chest heaved, wanting to say something, but Jiang Feng raised a hand, stopping her words.
"Zhang Dajiang, right, in fairness for being Zhang Qinyao's father, I'll ask you a few more questions—by the looks of it, you don't seem like a habitual gambler. How did you end up losing 500,000 all of a sudden?" Jiang Feng said, staring flatly at Zhang Dajiang.
"I told you, our family's matters don't need your involvement! Go cool off somewhere else!" Zhang Dajiang said, livid with anger.
"Zhang Dajiang, whatever Brother Feng asks, you'd better answer, or don't expect me to ever show you a kind face again!" Zhang Qinyao said coldly.
Furious though he was, Zhang Dajiang thought that perhaps this Jiang Feng truly had some connections that could help him smooth things over, which might be better than his urgent situation.
"You think I wanted to lose? I didn't want to either!" Zhang Dajiang said bitterly. "It was after a client dinner; he insisted on going to Lei's Casino for a few rounds, I had no choice but to accompany him."
"I really didn't intend to gamble, but after arriving, I don't know what happened, I just couldn't resist. I only wanted to play a few rounds, but then, who knows, once I started gambling, I couldn't stop. All I did was keep betting, then somehow ended up losing all the money in my pocket. The debt just kept increasing afterward, and I ended up writing an IOU."
Saying this, Zhang Dajiang appeared even more troubled: "I don't even know what madness possessed me at the time, thinking back, my mind was entirely a mush."
Hmm?!
Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but become suspicious.
If Zhang Qinyao were from a wealthy family, Zhang Dajiang throwing money around like that would make some sense, but he's clearly just a small person with no standing at home, yet daring to wager such a huge amount at a casino, something's off here!
Then again, considering his 500,000 was lost directly to the boss Lei Bao, and that Lei Bao and Qi Guangyu were in cahoots—could it be they knew from the start that Zhang Dajiang was Zhang Qinyao's father, and this whole affair was targeted at Zhang Qinyao?
Was this 500,000 scheme an attempt to drag Zhang Qinyao down, to swallow her whole?
Understanding all this, Jiang Feng calmly asked, "Where is this Lei's Casino?"
