"Hmph. I've been busy and haven't had time to deal with him, but he walked right into my hands. Quite obliging of him."

Zeng Hui tapped his finger on the table, chuckling coldly.

"Tiger, don't worry. Anyone who bullies you, your big brother won't let him off lightly!" Zeng Hui's expression turned fierce as he continued, "However, we need to plan this properly. We have to make that brat wish he was never born!"

"Brother Hui, why make it so complicated? When they arrive tonight, I'll lead some men to charge in and beat him half to death. Let's see how tough he really is," Bald Qiang said.

"Bastard!" Zeng Hui cursed. "I'm a respectable businessman in the city now. If a massive brawl breaks out in my hotel, it'll reflect poorly on me. I still want to earn money and try to get into the Jiangzhou Political Consultative Conference. We're not the street punks we used to be, roaming the neighborhoods. Nowadays, it's not just about brute strength; we have to learn to use schemes!" Zeng Hui said with a sinister tone.

"Then what should we do?" Zeng Yuhu asked.

"Heh heh, on my turf, things are naturally done according to my rules. Here's the plan: first, install surveillance cameras in Private Room 202. Then, arrange for a few waiters to deliberately provoke them. Remember, no one lays a hand on them. We must make *them* strike first, and it has to be caught on camera. As long as we get footage of Lin Feng throwing the first punch, we can then beat him to a pulp."

"After beating him, I'll call the police and report him for assault and damaging hotel property. I'll not only make him pay compensation, but I'll also make sure he goes to jail!" As the plan formed in his mind, a vicious smile appeared at the corner of Zeng Hui's mouth.

"Brother Hui, that's brilliant! This move will definitely make Lin Feng suffer immensely. But will the police listen to me?" Bald Qiang asked.

"I've been operating in this area for over ten years; you think I don't have connections? The chief of the local police station often joins me for sauna sessions and mahjong games. I've given him plenty of perks. As long as we secure the evidence, Lin Feng can be sentenced to at least three to five years in prison. Hmph, hmph. Then, I'll inform my brothers inside the prison to 'take good care' of Lin Feng. Perhaps that kid will never make it out of prison, HA HA HA!" Zeng Hui laughed boisterously.

Hearing this, Zeng Yuhu and Bald Qiang looked at each other and finally broke into gleeful smiles.

Zeng Hui had connections in the police station, prisons, the government, and even the underworld. How could Lin Feng possibly contend with him?

Dealing with Lin Feng would be as easy as crushing an ant!

Now, a huge weight was finally lifted from Zeng Yuhu's and Bald Qiang's hearts. They just thought that when it was time to deal with Lin Feng that night, they must tell their men to beat him mercilessly, to cripple him first. Even if the cameras recorded them hitting him, it didn't matter; they could edit the surveillance video before handing it over to the police station.

At a little past six in the evening, Lin Feng's family departed from home. To maintain a low profile, Luo Yang drove Lin Feng's family in their ordinary Volkswagen, arriving at the Tianyue Hotel in no time.

By this time, the hotel was already quite crowded. After Luo Yang parked the car, the four of them went directly to Private Room 202.

A beautiful waitress was, of course, guiding them.

"Mm, I hear the Dazha crab and eel feast here is excellent. Let's try it today."

Arriving in the private room, Lin Zhonghua sat in the seat of honor, with Jiang Xiuyun beside him. Lin Feng and Luo Yang took seats in lower positions.

"Lin Feng, if there's anything else you'd like to eat, just tell the waitress to order it," Lin Zhonghua said to Lin Feng, lighting a cigar.

Lin Feng looked at Lin Zhonghua's smile. It was a knowing smile, the kind he had never seen before on his father's usually stern face.

"I'll get the drinks."

Lin Feng didn't say much more. He knew that from their time in the army, it wasn't just Lin Zhonghua; Luo Yang also had a very high tolerance for alcohol.

"Waitress, two bottles of Maotai and three stemmed glasses, please!" Lin Feng stood up and said to the waitress at the door. Afterwards, he also ordered a non-alcoholic drink for Jiang Xiuyun.

"Two bottles for the three of you?" Jiang Xiuyun glanced at the three men. "Isn't that a little much?"

"Too much? Two bottles for three people? If word of this got out to our comrades in the Military Commission, they'd laugh their heads off!" Lin Zhonghua chuckled, then looked at Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, you'll be eighteen soon, right? It's about time you learned to drink. A man who doesn't drink isn't a true man!"

Soon, the Maotai was brought in. Lin Feng was about to pour it, but Luo Yang, being deferential, took the bottle from him, insisting on pouring. Lin Feng had no choice but to sit down.

"Alright, half a glass is enough. Why pour so much? He's still just a kid."

When Jiang Xiuyun saw Luo Yang fill Lin Feng's stemmed glass to the brim with Maotai, she grew extremely worried. That one glass holds at least three to five ounces of the spirit, and one bottle can yield at most four such glasses! With so much alcohol, especially such potent baijiu, Lin Feng will probably be down for the count after just one. How will he eat anything then? Jiang Xiuyun sighed inwardly.

"Alright, let's all have a drink!" After the wine was poured, Lin Zhonghua had wanted to say something more, but felt it would be too sentimental, so he didn't elaborate. He looked at Lin Feng and raised his glass.

"Son, your father came back specially today to celebrate with you. You must continue to work hard!"

Jiang Xiuyun had voiced what was in Lin Zhonghua's heart. Then, the four of them clinked glasses.

Lin Feng kept a gentle smile on his face. He was overjoyed to have such a loving and happy family.

Of course, at this moment, he was considered the guest of honor. According to dining etiquette, he had to make a round of toasts. So, after eating a few bites of food, Lin Feng picked up his glass and stood up.

"Dad, I'd like to propose a toast to you. I wish you good health and success in your work," Lin Feng said, refilling his glass, which he had sipped from, and walking over to Lin Zhonghua.

Lin Zhonghua was stunned for a moment, then felt immensely pleased. The Lin Feng of the past knew nothing of these courtesies and would never have proposed a toast to me.

It seems that after these past few months, my son has truly grown up and become much more sensible! Lin Zhonghua sighed with deep gratification in his heart.

"Heh heh, good, Lin Feng. With your scores, getting into university will definitely be no problem. Think carefully about your future plans, and don't waste your time in university."

Lin Zhonghua didn't stand up. After speaking, he looked at Lin Feng with great affection and took a small sip of his drink.

"Dad, I was immature before. It feels like this is the first time I've ever properly toasted you. From now on, I won't make you and Mom worry anymore. I'll drink this whole glass!"

Lin Feng looked at Lin Zhonghua and, after his solemn words, immediately downed the entire glass of baijiu in one go!

His action left Lin Zhonghua, Jiang Xiuyun, and Luo Yang completely stunned.

The dishes weren't all served yet, and he'd just downed such a large glass of strong alcohol in one go. Can Lin Feng actually handle it? He doesn't look like he has a high tolerance. He won't throw up immediately, will he?
