《My Nightclub Landlady》Chapter 18 Street trouble
Advertisement
From a distance Qin Feng saw many people gathered around the square. There were police cars and an ambulance. He teased Zhu Fei the whole way. He opened the window and lit a cigarette. "There must have been an accident. Ah, there are too many lousy drivers running people over."
Zhu Fei grumbled, "It’s alright, although I’m not the best driver, I drive slowly. As long as I drive carefully, nothing bad will happen."
"The one who got hit was a sanitation man," he said. "Oh, what a pity."
Qin Feng sighed.
Zhu Fei glanced over when she heard the words ‘sanitation worker’. Suddenly, she slammed her foot on the brakes. The car behind almost crashed into her.
"What are you doing!?" Qin Feng hurriedly shouted, "Keep moving! You have to get off the lane before you stop!"
"That's my father!" Zhu Fei’s face turned dull, and she madly rushed out of the car onto the road. The speeding taxi speeding past almost sent her flying!
Qin Feng saw it, also anxious to chase after her.
The Audi Q5 stopped in the middle of the road, and the driver's door was still open, blocking the entire road. Three cars in the back bumped into each other because the drivers weren’t paying enough attention.
Zhang Dali had already taken control of the situation, and Jia Dapeng was about to leave the scene, but then Zhu Fei and Qin Feng showed up…
"Dad!" Zhu Fei desperately ran forward, urgently calling, "Dad!"
A paramedic met her and said, "Hello, are you the daughter of the injured man?"
"Yes, what happened to my father?"
Zhu Fei grabbed the back door of the ambulance and climbed into the carriage. She knelt in front of the stretcher, grabbed her father's hand, and shook it violently. "Dad, Dad! What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"He was knocked out and requires immediate treatment at the hospital. He is too weak right now!" the attending doctor said with a serious look on his face.

"Beaten? Who did it? Who?!"
Zhu Fei suddenly broke out into a rage. If the incident had been caused by accident, she could forgive the other side. But she would absolutely never forgive her dad being beaten like this, at his age!!!
The doctor turned over his body. The whole back and legs were covered with blood and bruises. It was a miserable sight.
Just then, Jia Dapeng seemed to hear Zhu Fei's voice, and came over.
Next to him was Zhang Dali and eight policemen, a strong lineup. The three traffic cops had already gone to the roadside to direct traffic and the congestion at the scene quickly improved.
Jia Dapeng ignored Qin Feng and looked around for Zhu Fei. "Fei Fei? What are you doing here?"
"Did you do this?" Zhu Fei rushed out of the ambulance, red-eyed.
"This old man?"
Jia Dapeng glanced over Zhu Fei's comatose father and laughed, "Yes. A smelly sanitation worker decided to spew nonsense at me! He didn’t let me throw a cigarette. Shit. And he talked back to me. Isn't that a death wish? Stupid old man!"
With the support of Zhang Dali and the policemen, Jia Dapeng deliberately began to show off in front of Qin Feng.
He came just in time. Originally, Jia Dapeng wanted to look for Qin Feng to take revenge on him after dealing with the mess at the square. He did not expect that Qin Feng would come to him.
When Zhu Fei heard this, she raised her hand to slap Jia Dapeng. Just before she made contact, a hand shot through the air and powerfully caught her wrist.
Zhang Dali said coldly, "Just talk. Don't do it."
He slowly loosened his grip on Zhu Fei.
At that moment, the attending doctor said, "Ma'am, your father can’t wait. We have to hurry to the hospital."
Zhu Fei's mood was almost out of control, desperately crying and shouting at Jia Dapeng. Hearing the doctor, he finally understood that the sanitation worker he beat up was Zhu Fei's father!

Impossible.
Jia Dapeng's face was incredulous. Zhu Fei’s temperament was elegant, generous. Anyone who saw her would think her to be a princess from a rich family. How could she be a sanitation worker's daughter? It was beyond logic and above reason.
Even Qin Feng was puzzled. How could these two people be father and daughter? They seemed to be from entirely different worlds!
But how could Zhu Fei be foolish enough to wrongly identify her own father?
There had to be an unknown story in here!
Qin Feng kept his cool. This was not the time to fight. This Jia Dapeng could not run away from him; sooner or later he he would make him pay the price. Now, the most urgent matter was to send Zhu Fei's father to the hospital. Life is critical.
Every minute saved on the way to the hospital increased the chances of his recovery!
"Zhu Fei, calm down; go to the hospital first, and wait for your dad to wake up!"
Qin Feng held the raging Zhu Fei, dragging her back to the Audi Q5.
By then, Audi Q5 had already been pulled over to the roadside by the fat traffic cop. The ticket had been issued; it was only waiting for the owner to receive it.
"Doctor, hurry up to the hospital. We'll be right there!" Qin Feng said.
"Yes!" The door of the ambulance closed and the siren went off as the vehicle shot into the road..
Jia Dapeng shouted after Qin Feng, "Stop!" Are you playing dumb?"
Qin Feng did not reply, facing the fat traffic cop, who came up to hand them the ticket.
Zhu Fei was shoved into the passenger seat, and he got behind the wheel.
Jia Dapeng did not give up. With three cops in tow, they directly surrounded the Q5.
Zhu Fei yelled, "They are thugs! I'll drive! I’ll kill them all!" she cried desperately with tears in her eyes.
Qin Feng seemed very calm. "Fasten your seat belt."
The gear was still on Park. Qin Feng stepped on the gas. The car did not move, but the roar of the engine made the cops jump back. The deafening honk of the car horn followed. Even Zhang Dali was flustered by this movement, and everyone thought that Qin Feng was going to run someone over.
As soon as Qin Feng saw a gap open up, he put the pedal to the metal and the car lurched forward. In the blink of an eye, they broke out.
Looking at the Audi drawing away, Jia Dapeng roared, "Shit! Get in the car!"
Zhang Dali, however, hesitated, "Dapeng, this is not good. It’ll draw too much attention."
"What's wrong?"
"You just beat up her father and are now chasing her to the hospital. You’re making a huge fuss; it'll be hard to cover this up."
Zhang Dali was not only a great fighter, but intelligent as well. "Let's wait for now. Find someone to go to the hospital and explore the situation. If the sanitation worker recovers, we will go looking for that guy. But if you messed up that sanitation worker too badly, then you’ll have to hide. Too many people saw it; we can’t make it go away."
"Shit! So much trouble just to get rid of him. Come on!"
Although Jia Dapeng’s heart was not willing, he still listened to Zhang Dali's words. He also knew that if he continued to fight, he might cause trouble for his father.

World Step (Rewrite)
This is a rewrite of my story World Step. Though, in reality, this is my first serious draft. The shadows grow deeper on the planet of Whorrl even as a dark, and ancient ritual takes place within the depths of The Abyssal Mouth—a chasm of both fortune and calamity. The story follows Quintin, a Grandmaster Martial Artist from Earth, as unforeseen elements conspire against him from the depths of space. *No Harem *Strong MC, but by no means does he go through enemies without injury or at least learning something. *Throw on [Horror], and possibly [Psychological] elements. *Dark Fantasy with some [Grimdark] leanings. Notes: this will be a place where I endeavor to rewrite and fix issues. With that in mind, expect revisions, edits, and other things of that nature.

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
