A few thugs were also bewildered. They hadn't intended to scare Lin Feng away, but rather to force Lin Feng to step in and save Shen Xinyue.
But why wasn't Lin Feng playing along with their script?
"Sir, please save me. Don't abandon me. I'm truly terrified!"
Shen Xinyue, snapping back to reality, grabbed Lin Feng's arm desperately.
Lin Feng chuckled at how clumsy their act was.
Shen Xinyue, a delicate young woman, could easily be subdued by a few thugs.
Yet, the thugs ambled along behind her at a leisurely pace, as if on a stroll. This wasn't a case of molestation; it was more like filming a movie!
Although he didn't know their ulterior motives, Lin Feng was certain that Shen Xinyue's closeness to him was not without purpose.
"Beauty, if they're harassing you, just call the police. I can't save you if you ask me!"
"I'm not strong enough to fight them!"
Lin Feng, looking at Shen Xinyue's tear-streaked face, unceremoniously pushed her hand away.
"That's right, Little Fengfeng. This slut is a little vixen. You need to keep your distance from her! Don't be fooled by her!"
Sun Pengfei, with a smug, wicked grin, snarled at Shen Xinyue, "Get out of here! If you can't help it, just let them molest you. What can happen if they molest someone who looks like you? Will you die?"
"You... you..."
Shen Xinyue was utterly speechless, filled with a mixture of urgency and anger.
It was one thing for Lin Feng to refuse to help, but for Sun Pengfei, this effeminate creature, to insult her!
She was the eldest daughter of the Shen family!
Shen Xinyue was truly furious. In all her life, she had never suffered such humiliation.
If it weren't for her father insisting she find a way to get close to Lin Feng, she would never have dealt with these disgusting people!
"Little Fengfeng, let's hurry up and leave. This little vixen is quite flirtatious. Don't pay attention to her; she's hard to shake off!"
Sun Pengfei swaggered, swaying his hips, and then grabbed Lin Feng's arm to leave.
"Let go of my arm. She might be a vixen, but you're no better. I want to ditch you right now!"
Lin Feng impatiently shook off Sun Pengfei's arm. He disliked Sun Pengfei even more than Shen Xinyue!
"Young lady, what do we do now? This guy isn't falling for it!"
The thugs approached, looking at the receding figures of Lin Feng and Sun Pengfei, completely at a loss.
"Are you brainless? If he's ignoring me, why don't you go and molest that sissy? That way, I'll have a reason to approach him!"
Shen Xinyue reprimanded them furiously, frustrated by their incompetence.
Only then did the thugs slap their foreheads in realization. "Right, we get it! Young lady, you keep running, and we'll keep pretending to chase you!"
Shen Xinyue sighed, feeling utterly drained. Helplessly, she had no choice but to continue the charade.
"Ah! Don't come any closer! Stop chasing me, I'll really call the police!"
Shen Xinyue caught up with Lin Feng again, crying out behind him.
Lin Feng sneered. This woman was persistent. What exactly did she want?
"Brother-in-law, I also think something is not quite right. Why is this woman still chasing us? And after so long, those thugs still haven't caught her. It's a bit too unbelievable,"
Tang Pinliang, despite his limited intelligence, could see that the plot was a bit dramatic.
"Yeah, it feels like this woman is doing it on purpose, like the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West. She doesn't seem like a good person."
"Maybe she's trying to scam us. If we get involved with her, she might extort us!"
Sun Xiqing analyzed quietly.
"Just ignore her. If even you can see something's wrong with her, don't you think I can?"
Lin Feng smiled, ignoring Shen Xinyue's cries.
However, to the surprise of Lin Feng and his companions, the thugs suddenly quickened their pace and rushed in front of Lin Feng, blocking their path.
Seeing this, Shen Xinyue seized the opportunity, grabbing Lin Feng's arm and pretending to cower in fear behind him.
What was the meaning of this? If their trick didn't work, they were going to force the issue?
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at the burly men before him. Just as he was about to speak, one of the thugs preempted him, "Brothers, I think this woman is quite good too. Why don't we grab both of these girls?"
"Yeah, I want this one. She's got some spark, that silky stocking is too sexy!"
The thugs leered at Sun Pengfei, their eyes full of appraisal.
"Uh, are you talking about me?"
Sun Pengfei was stunned. He looked back; he and Shen Xinyue were the only women present. Who else could they be talking about?
"Yes, it's you. I like it when people dress so sexily!"
The thugs, suppressing their disgust, forced themselves to give Sun Pengfei lecherous glances.
"Oh, are you complimenting my beauty? Little Fengfeng, look, they can tell I'm sexy, but why can't you?"
Sun Pengfei became a little giddy, acting as if in heat, biting his lips and shyly playing with his hair.
"If they think you're sexy, then go with them. Hurry up and go! The further away you are from me, the better!"
Lin Feng pushed Sun Pengfei away with disgust, directly shoving him towards the burly men.
Seeing this, the burly men recoiled several steps in fright.
"What are you doing? Didn't you want to grab me? You think I'm sexy, so why are you backing away?"
Sun Pengfei asked indignantly.
"This..."
The burly men swallowed, their arrows already nocked.
"Yes, we want to grab you. Not only will we grab you, we'll play with you until you die!"
With that, they pounced on Sun Pengfei like famished wolves.
"Little Fengfeng, they're trying to molest me! Hurry and save me!"
Sun Pengfei feigned panic and cried out for help.
"Molesting you would be your honor. Listen to me, don't resist, just enjoy it!"
Lin Feng said with great seriousness.
"Oh, you're so annoying! I love you the most. How could I possibly let these smelly men defile my body!"
Sun Pengfei flicked his wrist, and as the burly men approached him, he moved.
He rolled up his skirt and delivered an airborne kick to one of their faces.
Then, with a few more solid punches, he took them down before the thugs could react.
"Smelly men, you think you can molest me with your mediocre skills? You like my stockings, don't you? Come on, lick them clean!"
Sun Pengfei spat insults, kicked off his high heels, and stuffed his stocking-clad, smelly feet into the mouths of the burly men.
The thugs cried. How could this effeminate creature, Sun Pengfei, be so fierce?
"Sir, thank you for saving me. You are my benefactor. I am deeply grateful,"
Shen Xinyue seized Lin Feng's hand opportunistically, her beautiful eyes shimmering with sincere gratitude.
"Why thank me? I'm not your benefactor. You should thank him. It has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Feng almost burst out laughing. This Shen Xinyue woman was truly determined.
"Oh, then thank you."
Shen Xinyue offered her thanks to Sun Pengfei.
"Don't thank me. The greatest thanks you can give me is to stay away from my Little Fengfeng!"
"Little vixen, listen carefully. If you dare to approach my Little Fengfeng again, I'll slap you to death!"
Sun Pengfei warned Shen Xinyue fiercely, like a territorial animal guarding its food.
"I... I understand. I have no ill intentions. I'm just sincerely thanking you."
Shen Xinyue put on a pitiable act, lowering her head and fiddling with the hem of her skirt.
"Alright, I have other things to do. I'm leaving now. You all have fun with your games!"
Lin Feng, having no patience to entertain these deranged individuals any longer, turned to leave.
However, Shen Xinyue, seizing an opportunity when Sun Pengfei and the others weren't paying attention, quietly followed Lin Feng.
"Benefactor, you, wait for me!"
"Why are you following me? I'm not your benefactor. Don't tell me you're now homeless and expect me to see this through to the end?"
Lin Feng chuckled as he watched Shen Xinyue's unyielding pursuit.
Shen Xinyue froze for a moment, surprised that Lin Feng had anticipated her lines.
Had she been exposed? Had Lin Feng seen through her?
