Li Feng hesitated. He didn't know what to do.

It was Xie Moyao beside him who nudged his arm. "We should apologize to them. It was definitely our fault."

「Eight o'clock in the evening.」

After an afternoon of shooting, Sun Dasheng walked out of the shooting range in high spirits.

Of course, it would have been even better without that little incident.

"Please wait a moment!"

He was stopped on the road. Sun Dasheng looked closely, and when he recognized who had blocked his way, the smile on his face instantly turned cold.

"What is this about?"

He didn't speak. It was Da Yong, who was beside him, who spoke up. He stood before the three of them with an imposing stance, like a towering mountain.

The three took a few steps back, and in the end, it was the gentlest-spoken Xie Moyao who stepped forward. "Mr. Sun, I'm so sorry. You kindly invited us to join you earlier, but we were rude in return. We realize our mistake and would like to treat you to a meal as an apology."

"Oh?"

At the sound of her pleasant voice, Sun Dasheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Da Yong saw the look in his boss's eyes and understood. He said in a booming voice, "Our boss handles business deals worth millions every day. His time is extremely precious. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can ask him out for a meal.

"You'd better think hard about what kind of sincerity you can offer to persuade him."

After speaking, he glanced at his boss, his expression full of pride. How did I do, boss?

Sun Dasheng resisted the urge to facepalm and kick him.

Who the hell told you to say that? It makes me sound like some rich playboy from ancient times who went around kidnapping women.

As expected, the moment Da Yong finished speaking, the trio's expressions turned ugly. They were all clever people and immediately understood the implication.

The surroundings fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly grew awkward.

"Just go, you. I told you not to spout nonsense." Sun Dasheng finally couldn't resist kicking Da Yong before turning to leave.

"Hey, President Sun, wait for me!" Da Yong chased after him, looking bewildered.

"What do we do now?" Xie Moyao asked.

"Hmph! What do you mean, 'what now'? Tough luck!" Li Wenwen was seething. I thought we could just keep the peace by treating them to a meal to apologize. I never expected them to be so despicable, actually suggesting I'd have to offer myself to resolve this! Hmph! I'm not easily intimidated.

Besides, anyone who can afford this kind of recreation can't be from a simple family.

Her family could be considered well-to-do in Shanghai City. Her father's side was a family of scholars, with relatives who were all teachers and professors. Her mother's side consisted of businesspeople with moderate assets. This made their family a mix of academia and commerce. In a city like Shanghai, teeming with the wealthy, they were firmly middle class: not at the very top, but comfortably above most.

Therefore, while getting on someone's bad side was a cause for concern, it was only a minor one.

However, they would soon realize that the person they had offended today was far from ordinary. Their minor concern quickly morphed into genuine fear.

"Was that a Rolls-Royce Phantom they just got into?" Xie Moyao, having the sharpest eyes, was the first to notice something unusual.

The other two, the brother and sister, followed her pointing hand with their eyes.

"That's right, that's a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth over ten million. Are you sure you saw them get into that car?" Li Feng's expression was grim.

You can afford to offend anyone but the rich. That was what his mother had drilled into him. Here in Shanghai City, you never knew what kind of connections a wealthy person might have. Of course, in a different place like the Capital, the rule was you couldn't offend those within the government system. Over there, if you threw a brick, you were liable to hit a department head. You could never know what post the person you offended held.

"Brother, what do we do?" A nervous expression appeared on Li Wenwen's face. Even someone as defiant and willful as her knew she had caused trouble today—big trouble.

If I go home like this and my parents find out, what's waiting for me will be... She shivered, not daring to imagine it.

Her mother was a formidable woman and had always been incredibly strict with her and her brother. In their family, their father played the good cop while their mother played the bad cop. As a result, they had been terrified of their mother since they were children.

Being questioned by his sister only added to Li Feng's irritation. This is all her fault, the little troublemaker. Why did you have to go and provoke them for no reason? They hadn't done anything to you. They were just minding their own business, shooting guns, and you went out of your way to mock them. You're just like some brainless villain from a novel, created just so the protagonist can slap them in the face.

He didn't stop to think about who had spoiled his sister and made her this way. Wasn't it because he ran with a bad crowd and had always been there to back her up, allowing her to become more and more defiant and willful?

Of course, at a time like this, he was completely blind to his own role in the problem.

Xie Moyao, standing beside him, understood the situation perfectly. However, she saw no reason to point it out and risk offending both the brother and sister. Instead, she simply offered a suggestion. "It looks like they're going to get dinner. Why don't we follow them?"

"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" To Li Wenwen, her sister-in-law's words sounded like a gift from the heavens. For the first time, she accepted her suggestion without a moment's hesitation. And with that, she bolted toward her BMW.

「...」

「The Suburbs」

The Fisherman's Courtyard looked like a rustic farmhouse-style restaurant. Li Wenwen and her companions followed them all the way there. Just as they got out of their car, they were stopped at the entrance.

"We're here to eat, so why are you blocking our way? Move!" Little Chili Li Wenwen was back to her usual self.
