Seeing Lin Feng hit Long Xiaoyun, Li Liping was the first to cheer. She was an outspoken individual, and seeing Long Xiaoyun accost Lin Feng like that, she probably would've wanted to fight back too if she were in his shoes.

Li Liping was by no means a coward. When she saw Lin Feng hit Long Xiaoyun, she clenched her little fist and waved it twice, clearly excited.

"Lin Feng, why... why are you so impulsive..." Cao Ying was somewhat worried when she saw Long Xiaoyun's bodyguard rush to the other end of the hall to report. She was worried the Long Family would seek revenge on Lin Feng, and also worried that her father would develop an even poorer impression of Lin Feng if he found out.

Lin Feng was well aware of his impulsiveness, but this time, his impulsiveness was mostly to stand up for Ning Aoxue. After all, Ning Aoxue was almost drugged and abducted by the Long Family. This is just a small interest payment; once I've thoroughly investigated the matter, I'll settle the full score with the Long Family.

Upon hearing that his son had been beaten by a young man named Lin Feng, Long Shaotian, dressed in an elegant Tang suit, quickly arrived with a few people trailing behind him.

Liu Changhong, the general manager of Liu Corporation; Ning Fuxun, the chairman of Ning Corporation; and Cao Tiannan, the mayor of Jiangzhou City, all knew Lin Feng. Hearing that Lin Feng had gotten into a fight, they all came over to watch the commotion. Only Li Hongming, the head of the Li Group's Jiangzhou branch, was afraid of seeing Lin Feng, so he didn't join the crowd and slipped away.

Liu Changhong was startled to see his black bodyguard, Uncle Bob, half-leaning against the wall and clutching his chest. He walked over to his tear-streaked daughter, Liu Yu, and quietly asked what had happened.

With Uncle Bob severely injured on the ground, Liu Yu no longer dared to hide what occurred. She leaned in and whispered a brief account into Liu Changhong's ear, leaving him increasingly aghast.

This black bodyguard, Uncle Bob, was someone I'd hired for an annual salary of nearly a million US dollars. He's extremely skilled, yet Lin Feng took him down in just two moves? And Lin Feng kicked his nearly three-hundred-pound body into the air? What kind of power is that! So, Lin Feng is a rare Martial Arts master!

After hearing Liu Yu's account, Liu Changhong understood that they were in the wrong regarding Uncle Bob's injuries. And realizing Lin Feng's unfathomable abilities, I'd better not look for trouble with him, at least for now.

"Lin Feng, it really is you!" Ning Fuxun was the first to greet Lin Feng. Spotting Lin Feng at the Yuefu Hotel, Ning Fuxun couldn't help but worry about his daughter's safety. He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes betraying a hint of blame. Didn't you agree to be Aoxue's personal bodyguard? Why are you here? This is dereliction of duty!

However, with so many people around, and especially with Long Shaotian—who had repeatedly targeted him—standing nearby, Ning Fuxun refrained from voicing his thoughts aloud. He certainly didn't want everyone to know that Lin Feng was the expert bodyguard he had hired for his daughter.

"Brother Ning, I've made arrangements. You don't have to worry!" Seeing Ning Fuxun, Lin Feng's face flushed; he felt like he'd been caught red-handed. Even though Ning Aoxue and Su Zi are staying at school tonight and not leaving campus, didn't the last incident also happen right there? Seeing Ning Fuxun's worried gaze, Lin Feng felt a little sheepish and offered a vague reassurance.

"Well, that's good..." Ning Fuxun nodded, his expression unreadable. Despite my dissatisfaction, this isn't the time or place to discuss it, so I'll just have to endure it for now.

Seeing his son's profusely bleeding nose, Long Shaotian was already furious. However, when he heard the exchange between Ning Fuxun and Lin Feng, his impending outburst faltered. Ning Fuxun actually knows this Lin Feng...

Suppressing his anger, Long Shaotian asked his son, "Xiaoyun, what happened? Why would someone hit you for no reason?"

Long Shaotian was ostensibly trying to understand the facts and reason things out. Heavens, when has Long Shaotian, the Chairman of Qinglong Group and the backer of the Qingzi Sect, ever bothered to reason with anyone? Had this been anywhere else, he would have already called his men to drag Lin Feng away, break both his legs, and then start asking questions. This is just an act for Cao Tiannan's benefit.

When Cao Tiannan approached, he remained silent. Flanked by three plainclothes policemen, he nonchalantly sat down beside Cao Ying, watching the confrontation between Lin Feng and the Long Family with keen interest. Unlike the others, I know Lin Feng is the son of Lin Zhonghua, commander of the military region. So, I'm not at all worried about him being at a disadvantage against the Long Family.

Seeing the expression on Cao Tiannan's face, Cao Ying grew even more anxious. Dad must really hold a grudge against Lin Feng; otherwise, why would he look like he hopes Lin Feng runs into misfortune?

"Dad... this kid Lin Feng hit me! I didn't even touch him, and he just attacked me!" Long Xiaoyun, accustomed to twisting facts to his advantage, heard Long Shaotian's question and immediately omitted the beginning and end of the story, only stating that Lin Feng had struck him, completely failing to mention his own prior provocation.

"Hmm, so you really didn't touch him, and he beat you up?" Long Shaotian pulled out two White Jade Playing Balls from his pocket, his expression grave as he gently rolled them in his hand and asked.

"Dad, how would I dare lie to you! So many people saw it. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Zheng!" Long Xiaoyun was a little intimidated by Long Shaotian's stern demeanor. Seeing his father's grave expression, he couldn't help but shrink back slightly, pointing to the bodyguard, Mr. Zheng.

"Yes, Old Master, the Young Master indeed didn't make a move..." Mr. Zheng gritted his teeth and said to Long Shaotian.

"Hmph! Mr. Zheng, and you, Little Fang, what kind of job are you two doing? The Young Master was injured without even fighting back. What's the use of keeping you two? Starting tomorrow, you're both fired!" Long Shaotian snorted coldly, directing his initial anger towards Long Xiaoyun's two personal bodyguards.

"I... I..." Mr. Zheng looked helplessly at Long Shaotian. He wanted to defend himself, but in the end, he said nothing, merely shaking his head and closing his mouth.

The other bodyguard, Little Fang, however, pointed angrily at Lin Feng and exclaimed, "Old Master, we've been wronged! This kid struck too fast! He suddenly attacked the Young Master, and Mr. Zheng and I simply couldn't react in time!"

"Still dare to talk back?" Long Shaotian shook his head and said, "No matter how formidable the opponent, as bodyguards, you were unharmed, but the person you were meant to protect was injured. Do you still have the nerve to argue with me, huh?"

Stunned by Long Shaotian's retort, Little Fang didn't dare utter another word.

After dismissing the incompetent bodyguards, Long Shaotian turned his gaze to Lin Feng, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. "Young man," he asked, "would you mind telling me why you decided to teach my son, Xiaoyun, a lesson? I only have this one foolish son. Sometimes, even when he's excessively out of line, I don't have the heart to strike him. You've done me a favor. I trust he won't be so foolish in the future. I really ought to thank you properly for this!"

Anyone present who had some inkling of Long Shaotian's true nature couldn't help but shiver upon hearing his words—ostensibly an expression of gratitude, but in reality, a veiled threat.

Receiving thanks from an underworld figure like him is truly unsettling!
