Tang Wenshan was, after all, a girl. Despite fighting back with all her might, she was still knocked to the ground by Sun Haoyu.
Du Yunyun felt a pang of sympathy and tugged on Du Fei's sleeve. "Brother, can you ask them to stop hitting her?"
Du Fei looked at his sister with a hint of helplessness. "Little sister, she just cursed you so venomously and falsely accused you of being a thief. Why are you feeling soft-hearted now?"
"Brother, I know this might make you unhappy, but she's my classmate after all. Being beaten this many times is punishment enough. Please."
Du Yunyun shook Du Fei's arm.
Du Fei didn't really want to get involved, but since his sister had pleaded, he couldn't refuse.
Unexpectedly, before Du Fei could make a move, Gong Chengbin, standing nearby, directly ordered the security guards. "Throw these two out! From now on, they are forbidden to come near Wanhe Mall!"
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Several security guards strode over, pulled apart Sun Haoyu and Tang Wenshan who were still struggling, and then escorted them out.
After the two were taken away, the store manager quickly approached.
"We apologize, esteemed guest. We did not provide adequate service just now. On behalf of the entire store, I offer you our sincerest apologies."
The store manager's waist bent nearly ninety degrees.
Kind-hearted Du Yunyun quickly waved her hand. "It's okay, it's not your fault."
"To express my apology, the clothes you selected just now will be paid for by me personally. Please accept them."
To be a store manager, one must be extremely adept at social interactions.
Upon seeing the respectful attitude of Second Young Master Gong Chengbin towards Du Fei, she immediately stepped forward to apologize. As for gifting clothes to Du Yunyun, it was an attempt to make amends for their earlier mistake.
"You don't need to pay. Package all the clothes this beautiful lady looked at for me!"
Gong Chengbin waved his hand grandly, displaying considerable generosity.
At his command, everyone in the store immediately sprang into action.
In just a few minutes, dozens of clothes were neatly packaged and presented to Du Yunyun.
Du Yunyun was momentarily stunned, unsure of how to react.
Du Fei frowned at Gong Chengbin. "I say, you're being a bit too extravagant. With so many clothes, how long will my sister take to wear them all?"
"Oh, your sister is so beautiful. She can wear one a day and throw it away once she's done."
Gong Chengbin blurted out.
In his opinion, gifting a few clothes to Du Fei's sister was a trivial matter.
"Alright, my sister isn't like you rich young masters who wear something once and discard it. That's too wasteful."
From what had just happened, Du Fei had a general idea of Gong Chengbin's unusual status; he was clearly a wealthy second-generation heir.
However, Gong Chengbin's wealth was his own affair, and Du Fei certainly wouldn't hold him in higher regard because of it.
"Then how about keeping half? Sister, say something."
Seeing that Du Fei wasn't giving him face, Gong Chengbin shifted his attention to Du Yunyun.
Du Yunyun was just a young girl and didn't know how to handle such situations.
"Alright, just keep this one. Put the rest back where they belong. My sister doesn't want them."
Du Fei didn't want to continue this entanglement with Gong Chengbin and pointed to the outfit Du Yunyun had previously selected.
Gong Chengbin, seeing Du Fei's firm stance, finally waved his hand. "Fine, fine. Take the other clothes away."
Just as Du Yunyun picked up the dress, Wu Chunmei, who had gone to the restroom, returned.
Du Fei didn't want her to worry, so he didn't tell her what had happened.
"Du Fei, right? Since we're so fated to meet here, give me a chance to repay you. Tell me, what do you want?"
As they walked out of the women's clothing store, Gong Chengbin looked at Du Fei with a serious expression.
Despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Gong Chengbin was always one to repay a kindness.
The last time Du Fei had saved him, he had intended to find him afterward but was delayed.
It was purely coincidental that he ran into Du Fei while casually browsing the mall today.
"I told you before, I don't need you to repay me. Saving you was just a small favor."
Du Fei intended to continue shopping with his mother and sister, but Gong Chengbin surprisingly followed them.
His mother and sister kept sizing up Gong Chengbin, but he didn't seem to mind, even chatting with them occasionally.
"Mom, Sister, you two go browse first. I have something to discuss with him."
Du Fei decided to clarify things with Gong Chengbin to prevent him from bothering them in the future.
Hearing this, Gong Chengbin smiled and took out a gold card. "Auntie, Sister, this is a limited edition gold card for Wanhe Mall. It allows for advance consumption of up to one million within all Wanhe Malls, which I will pay for later. There's a new beauty salon on the top floor that's quite good; you can try it out."
Wu Chunmei and Du Yunyun didn't take the card. Instead, they looked at Du Fei.
Du Fei gestured for Du Yunyun to take it and then asked them to go ahead, saying he would join them later.
Du Yunyun nodded and pulled Wu Chunmei away.
"Let's go. It's a bit awkward standing here and talking. There's a nice tea room upstairs; let's sit there."
Gong Chengbin led the way, with Du Fei following.
The two soon arrived at the tea room on the fifth floor. Upon seeing Gong Chengbin, the store manager personally greeted them and led them to a private room.
After the tea was served, Gong Chengbin said, "Du Fei, I've always disliked owing people favors. You saved me before, so here is a check for one million. I hope you'll accept it."
A check was pushed across the table to Du Fei.
Du Fei glanced at it but remained silent.
"To be frank, I didn't look for you earlier because I was investigating who wanted to kill me. Du Fei, I actually have another request: would you mind protecting me for a while? Of course, I'm not asking you to be a bodyguard, but this period is a bit sensitive, and my situation is somewhat dangerous."
Following this, Gong Chengbin began to explain how he was almost run over by a car. He had immediately hired people to investigate the attacker's identity.
After some investigation, he discovered that the person who tried to kill him was a professional assassin, which sent a cold sweat down his spine.
Fortunately, he had met Du Fei; otherwise, he would be dead by now.
As for who hired the assassin, Gong Chengbin didn't even need to investigate; it had to be his elder brother, Gong Chengjun.
Perhaps others would find it strange that Gong Chengjun, of all people, would hire assassins to kill his own brother, Gong Chengbin.
The reason lay with their father.
As the founder of Wanhe Group, Gong Weimin was over eighty years old. He had suffered greatly in his youth and had been in poor health for a long time.
In the past two years, he had to stay in the hospital for ten to half a month at a time. Last month, he was hospitalized for the entire month.
Given this, Gong Weimin intended to set up his will while he was still lucid.
However, before he could even finalize his will, Gong Chengjun had already impatiently sought out people to eliminate Gong Chengbin.
