"Hey, what are you all trying to do? I ain't into that gay stuff."

Lin Hai looked at the burly men surrounding him and spoke up.

"Hmph, still sharp-tongued when death is looming. Blast his chrysanthemum with the fire extinguisher," Cao Zifeng sneered coldly.

"Damn, you're brutal. The nastiest I ever got was messing with a foreigner using a sunflower," Lin Hai said with an exaggerated expression but without a trace of fear, which left Cao Zifeng very disappointed and fueled his desire to see Lin Hai in pain.

One of the muscular men grinned and swaggered toward Lin Hai, his fists cracking menacingly.

Lin Hai snorted coldly, just as Ren Bingfei had placed a cup of scalding hot water on the table in front of him.

As the man was about to reach him, Lin Hai nudged the table with his knee, and the teacup tilted directly onto the man's vital area, with the boiling hot water splashing out and wetting that area, steam rising.

With a "ow" shout, the man grimaced in unbearable pain, his hands clutching that vital area as he trembled, his legs shaking from the pain, his earlier arrogant momentum gone, looking like a complete soft-shelled prawn.

"Jeez, such a waste," Lin Hai clucked his tongue and shook his head.

Cao Zifeng's face turned even uglier as he cursed the man: "Trash."

"Hehe, if you're trash, then naturally your underlings are trash too," Lin Hai didn't forget to scoff.

"Attack him all together; let's see what more tricks he can pull," Cao Zifeng said with a face as dark as if it was blackened.

Dozens of large men's silhouettes engulfed Lin Hai.

Lin Hai watched them with cold eyes, his arms tensing with power, ready to strike a fierce blow at any moment.

Just then, someone suddenly burst through the door.

"Stop!"

A delicate shout rang out.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but look toward the doorway and saw a beautiful figure angrily approaching: it was Ren Bingfei.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ren Bingfei frowned, her face full of anger.

She was responsible for guarding Lin Hai, waiting for orders from above. She hadn't expected these people to take advantage of her quick trip to the bathroom to come in and attempt to harm Lin Hai.

Upon seeing Ren Bingfei, Cao Zifeng's mouth curled in a sneer, mockingly threatening, "You better not meddle in this, or else, don't blame me for not being polite."

"Cao Zifeng, this is the Viper Squad's territory, not your Cao Family's. I warn you not to make a fuss," Ren Bingfei stated boldly and loudly.

Lin Hai felt a warmth in his heart; this military-clad beauty was really single-minded without any malice, truly worthy of being the candidate he had planned to select as the future head of the women's security department.

Cao Zifeng obviously hadn't expected Ren Bingfei to dare to confront him, snorting in anger, "Ren Bingfei, don't be shameless. See if I don't let someone rape you later?"

"You! Beast!" Ren Bingfei spat angrily.

Lin Hai felt a wave of embarrassment: "Usually, it's me being called a 'beast' by women; I really don't want to be lumped in the same category as a creature like Cao Zifeng."

"So I'm a beast? Soon you'll see an even beastlier side of me. Someone, take control of her, strip her naked; I want to have some nice playtime right here," Cao Zifeng said, his eyes revealing a gleam of depraved greed.

Several burly men immediately made their move; Ren Bingfei's strength was mediocre, no match for these rigorously trained special forces. After resisting for a few moves, she was defeated, struck in the abdomen by a punch and staggered to her knees, gasping for cold air as she knelt on the ice-cold cement floor. In an instant, seven or eight men used hands and feet to pin her down firmly, pressing her head against the ground.

Cao Zifeng rolled his wheelchair over to Ren Bingfei, his venomous eyes fixed on her head pressed against the floor, and snickered, "Just wait a moment, beauty. After I've dealt with Lin Hai, I'll be all yours to play with."

Lin Hai couldn't stand by any longer; he was ready to break free from the chains binding him and rescue the damsel in distress, as Ren Bingfei had been captured because of him.

"Stop!"

Another robust voice rang out.

Cao Zifeng frowned, "Damn, another fool shows up, daring to interfere with my business."

A man dressed in deep black combat camouflage, his body brimming with explosive muscles, with a resolute face and clear eyes, frowning brows approached, seemingly followed by a few others.

"Who the hell are you?" Cao Zifeng noticed the man seemed unfamiliar, not one of the Viper squad members.

"I order you, release Lin Hai now," the stranger's voice was deep and authoritative, leaving everyone in the room with the impression of deafening reverberation.

Cao Zifeng snorted coldly, arrogantly raising his head, "I don't care who you are, I am the third young master of the Cao Family from Yanjing, and you dare to meddle in my affairs?"

On hearing this, the stranger scoffed, devoid of fear, simply regarding Cao Zifeng with disdain and stated flatly, "The Cao Family? What of it? I too am from Yanjing, Yang Zhantian of the Yang Family. Have you heard of me?"

Lin Hai's ears twitched. Yang Zhantian? The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where he had heard it.

"What did you say?" Cao Zifeng, shocked by the stranger's words, almost jumped out of his wheelchair, his face a picture of disbelief.

The dozen or so burly men present were also taken aback, their faces filled with apprehension and fear, hardly daring to make a move, as if facing a formidable opponent while staring at the stranger.

"You, you are Yang Zhantian ranked second on the Dragon List in the Dragon and Tiger List?" Cao Zifeng uttered in disbelief.

Yang Zhantian merely nodded slightly and huffed, "Seems you've heard of me. However, I am now third on the Dragon List, Kirin was defeated and moved automatically to the second spot."

Cao Zifeng's face instantly became as somber as a dripping cloud.

Yang Zhantian, to him, was a name as thunderous as any, the foremost among the younger generation of the Yang Family from Yanjing, a master on the Dragon List, regardless if ranked second or third, it meant the same to Cao Zifeng.

"Yang Zhantian, you better not interfere in my affairs," Cao Zifeng warned with diminishing bravado.

"I dislike needless banter. I'm here on orders from my superiors to protect Lin Hai, I'll count to three. If you don't release him, I will make you," said Yang Zhantian, as his entire aura suddenly intensified.

"Three"

"Two"

"One"

Before Cao Zifeng could react, Yang Zhantian had already finished counting.

"Damn it! Why did you count so fast?" Cao Zifeng just wanted to save face, planning to begrudgingly grant him this at the count of three to keep his own dignity in front of his men and not lose face, but Yang Zhantian was too straightforward and decisive.

Yang Zhantian had already made his move.

In an instant, as quick as lightning, his movements thunderous, with a thud, the foremost large man didn't even have time to react. Then the third man, the fourth... the tenth, a continual thudding sound echoed one after another.
