Lin Yunlong quickly returned home.
Lin Yunlong's father, Lin Dong, saw Lin Yunlong covered in blood. He shot to his feet and roared in anger, "What happened? Who did this?"
"It was a bastard named Ye Feng! He wants to steal Xiao Yufei from me. He sicced Liu San and the others on me and had them beat me like this!" Lin Yunlong said through gritted teeth. "And that's not all. He turned me into a eunuch."
When Lin Dong heard this, he was so furious he could have burst.
He only had one son, Lin Yunlong, and he was counting on him to carry on the family line. And now this—the bloodline was severed.
He went completely berserk. His eyes bloodshot, he roared, "This is insurrection! The world's turned upside down! A mere ant dares to provoke us? Does he really think I'm some pushover he can just step on?
But I'm not! I'm not!
He wants to steal Xiao Yufei, does he? Fine. I'll drive Xiao Yufei into a corner until she comes crying and begging to climb into your bed. I'll make that bastard Ye Feng know the pain of losing his woman, and then I'll slice him to pieces, one cut at a time.
I'll show him that I, the local tyrant of Jiangcheng, am not to be trifled with."
With that, he picked up his phone and made a call. "Brother Kong, it's Lin Dong. I need you to take care of someone for me..."
「The Xiao Family」
Seeing Ye Feng come out of Xiao Wenyuan's room, Xiao Yufei looked at him and asked urgently, "Ye Feng, how is my grandfather's condition?"
Ye Feng replied calmly, "His condition has improved significantly."
Xiao Yufei let out a long sigh of relief. But just then, her phone rang urgently. Xiao Yufei picked it up, and after listening for a moment, her expression changed drastically.
"What? Okay, I understand. I'll head over right away!"
Seeing that something was wrong with Xiao Yufei's expression, Xiao Gang quickly asked, "What is it, Yufei?"
Xiao Yufei said with a grim look, "People from the environmental agency came and said our emissions don't meet the standards. They're going to forcibly shut down our factory."
"Didn't we already take care of all that paperwork? Why are they picking a fight now?" Xiao Gang's face turned grim as well. "I'll call their director right now and ask what's going on!"
With that, he immediately picked up his phone and made the call. It rang for a long time before someone finally answered. Xiao Gang quickly put on a placating smile and began to speak.
"Ah, Director Kong, this is Xiao Gang. Didn't Qingya Cosmetics complete all the necessary procedures? What's this about our emissions not meeting the standard?
We've always had a good relationship. Do me a favor and let this slide. I'll be sure to thank you generously afterward..."
He had barely finished speaking when a cold voice came from the phone, "Xiao Gang, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to bribe me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Gang quickly said with a fawning smile, "Director Kong, that's not what I meant..."
Before he could finish, the other party hung up with a CLICK.
Xiao Gang stood frozen, phone in hand, utterly stunned.
Xiao Yufei sighed and said, "Dad, I'll go to the factory and see what's going on. I'll find out what's not up to standard and we can make corrections!"
Xiao Gang nodded. "Alright. You go to the factory first. I'll contact some people I know and see if I can sort this out."
Xiao Yufei turned and walked out.
Ye Feng thought for a moment, then followed her.
"Why are you following me?" Xiao Yufei asked, looking at Ye Feng with a hint of disgust.
"To help you solve your problem, get Qingya Cosmetics back on track, and fulfill our bet," Ye Feng said, his hands in his pockets.
Xiao Yufei pursed her lips. "Even my dad couldn't solve this. What makes you think you can?"
"You'll know soon enough whether I can or not," Ye Feng said calmly.
Xiao Yufei shot Ye Feng a harsh glare. "If you want to go, take your electric scooter. You really think you're someone important, don't you?"
With that, she got into her BMW and drove straight off.
Ye Feng smiled faintly, walked out of the residential complex, and got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom, following Xiao Yufei at a leisurely pace.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yufei arrived at the Qingya Cosmetics production factory. As she reached the entrance, she saw a number of uniformed men preparing to seal the doors.
Xiao Yufei saw them and hurried over. Looking at a portly man in a uniform, she asked urgently, "Director Kong, what exactly about our emissions is non-compliant? Just tell us, and we'll fix it. You can't just shut us down directly."
The portly man in the uniform, who was none other than Kong Jun, the director of the environmental agency, turned to look at Xiao Yufei. His gaze was sharp as he said, "Are you telling me how to do my job?"
"No, I'm just trying to discuss a solution with you!"
Kong Jun's eyes roamed up and down Xiao Yufei's stunning face and exquisite figure, a flash of greed in his gaze. He chuckled, then leaned in close to her ear and whispered:
"If you really want to discuss a solution, why don't we get a hotel room and have a nice, long chat? Maybe we'll find a solution there!"
Hearing Kong Jun's utterly shameless words, Xiao Yufei took a step back, stared daggers at him, and roared, "You're shameless!"
Kong Jun chuckled. "It seems you're not satisfied with that method. Then you tell me, how should we discuss this?"
Xiao Yufei never imagined Kong Jun could be so brazen. She was trembling with anger, wishing she could slap him hard across the face.
But she didn't dare. She knew she couldn't afford to provoke someone like him.
But just as she was fuming with frustration, a large hand reached out from behind her and a resounding slap landed squarely on Kong Jun's face.
With a loud SMACK, Kong Jun was sent spinning several times before collapsing to the ground.
Just then, a calm voice sounded from behind her. "How about we discuss it this way? Is that acceptable?"
Seeing Kong Jun's miserable state, with one side of his face swollen high and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yufei felt a surge of satisfaction.
'Serves him right!'
But she quickly snapped back to reality. 'Wasn't that Ye Feng's voice?'
Xiao Yufei quickly turned around. Who else could it be but Ye Feng?
Her face instantly turned deathly pale. 'Why is this guy so impulsive? He actually hit Kong Jun! This is huge trouble.' She looked at Ye Feng and shouted urgently:
"Ye Feng, how could you be so impulsive? Apologize to Director Kong, quickly!"
But Ye Feng just said calmly, "Having such disgusting thoughts about you makes him no better than an animal. He deserved to be hit. Why should I apologize?"
Hearing Ye Feng defend her like that, Xiao Yufei's heart suddenly warmed. But in the next moment, reality hit her again. She looked at Ye Feng and cried out urgently:
"Are you an idiot? Is he someone you can afford to hit? Apologize! Just apologize!"
But before she could finish, Kong Jun's ice-cold voice rang out from the side. "Apologize? It's useless even if he kneels and kowtows to me today. He dared to hit me! I'll make him pay a terrible price."
With that, he waved his hand and roared, "Men! Get him! If he ends up dead, I'll take responsibility!"
The moment he finished speaking, a dozen or so uniformed men behind him grabbed whatever they could find and charged straight at Ye Feng.
'They're really trying to kill him!'
Seeing this, Xiao Yufei, who was standing beside them, was on the verge of tears from anxiety. She shrieked:
"Don't hit him! I'm begging you! I'll apologize on his behalf."
But the men acted as if they hadn't heard a thing. They rushed up to Ye Feng and began to strike.
Xiao Yufei powerlessly closed her eyes. 'It's over. Ye Feng is finished. Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone this many people.
Why was I so impulsive? Why did I let him follow me?
Didn't I just get him killed?'
But just as Xiao Yufei was drowning in regret, she heard a series of blood-curdling screams, followed by the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.
The sounds were all wrong. Confused, Xiao Yufei opened her eyes. In the next moment, they flew wide open and she couldn't close them again.
She saw Ye Feng standing there, completely unharmed. But the dozen or so men were all sprawled on the ground, screaming in agony and struggling, not a single one able to get back up.
'Ye Feng took them all down by himself?'
Xiao Yufei simply couldn't believe her eyes.
Across from them, Kong Jun stared at Ye Feng, his eyes also filled with utter disbelief.
He had seen it clearly. Before those dozen men had even touched Ye Feng, they were sent flying backward one by one, crashing heavily to the ground.
Ye Feng had moved so fast that he couldn't see his movements clearly at all.
At that moment, Kong Jun finally understood that this Ye Feng was no simple character.
But in the next moment, he let out a sinister sneer. "You bastard, you've got some skills. But do you think your fists are faster than a bullet? You're not!
Which means you're still going to die today!"
With that, he picked up his phone and made a call.
