"Young Master, you heard correctly, this fellow wants your life!"
The bodyguard's eyes glinted with malice as he whispered into Feng Jianwen's ear.
Feng Jianwen slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Lin Feng, I think you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I'll give you one last chance, can you voluntarily leave my cousin?"
As he spoke, Feng Jianwen pulled out his phone, preparing to call for backup.
Lin Feng shook his head expressionlessly, wanting to see what Feng Jianwen would do next.
"Good, very good. Since you're so uncooperative, I'll have to use some means. Remember, you brought this upon yourself!"
Feng Jianwen lost his patience and dialed a number, instructing, "Have Ah Jiu and the others come over, bring their gear. I need to teach someone a lesson!"
After hanging up, Feng Jianwen's lips curled into a smug smile. "Lin Feng, if you don't want to get beaten, you can reconsider now. I'm not an unreasonable person."
"As long as you have the sense to leave my cousin, this case of money is all yours!"
"If you don't have sense, then fists don't have eyes!"
Feng Jianwen exuded confidence, like a social big shot. He pulled a cigar from his pocket, snapped his fingers, and the bodyguard beside him knowingly offered a lighter.
Lin Feng had seen too many show-offs like Feng Jianwen.
Far from being flustered, he smiled and said, "Big Cousin, let me give you a piece of advice too. My defensive capabilities are quite high. If I end up killing you all in self-defense, don't regret it!"
"What did you say?! Cough cough!"
Feng Jianwen had just taken a mouthful of the pungent smoke when Lin Feng's words made him choke, letting out a dry cough.
"Young Master, you heard correctly, this kid said he wants to use self-defense to kill us all!"
The bodyguard, thinking Feng Jianwen hadn't heard clearly, repeated it into his ear.
"Go to hell! I'm not deaf, I don't need you to repeat yourself!"
Feng Jianwen cursed the bodyguard and glared fiercely at Lin Feng. "You dare threaten me back? If I don't beat you up, I won't be satisfied!"
He said this resentfully, and several of his subordinates had already started arriving.
There were eight in total, each wearing boxing gloves.
"Lin Feng, let me introduce you. This is my good brother Chen Ah Jiu. He's a boxing coach at the Ming organization, and his students are all special forces elites from the Ming organization. The power of his punch is enough to kill a cow!"
"If his fist were to land on you, what do you think the consequences would be?"
Feng Jianwen smiled triumphantly, full of confidence in Chen Ah Jiu's skill.
"Brother Feng, is this kid the one you want me to teach a lesson to?"
Chen Ah Jiu looked at the slender Lin Feng before him, finding it somewhat amusing.
"Yes, it's him. He was very arrogant just now, saying he wanted to use self-defense to kill us all. He's blowing a bit too much hot air!"
Feng Jianwen seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ah Jiu's anger flared.
"Kid, since you're talking so big, let's spar. I'll take you on one-on-one."
Chen Ah Jiu stretched his neck and adopted a boxing stance, bouncing and waving his gloves to provoke Lin Feng.
"You must be dreaming. You think you're worthy of a one-on-one with me?"
Lin Feng sneered and stood up, intending to find Liu Mengyao and the others. He didn't want to waste energy on a bunch of idiots.
Just as Lin Feng was about to leave, Liu Mengyao and the others happened to walk over.
A number of people had arrived, both men and women, all relatives of Liu Mengyao.
Seeing Feng Jianwen facing Lin Feng with so many people, Liu Mengyao frowned. "Cousin, what is the meaning of this?"
"Cousin Yaoyao, don't misunderstand. It's like this, my good brother Chen Ah Jiu happened to be passing by, so he came over to sit!"
"Then Lin Feng provoked my brother, saying my brother wasn't worthy of a one-on-one with him, and my brother was very unhappy!"
Feng Jianwen twisted the truth, blaming everything on Lin Feng.
As soon as he said this, many people present felt that Lin Feng had gone too far.
Who was Chen Ah Jiu?
He was a renowned boxing master in Qingcheng, having won several golden belts as boxing champion. Even the Ming organization hired Chen Ah Jiu as a boxing coach.
Anyone who could spar with Chen Ah Jiu would be considered extremely lucky and honored.
Yet Lin Feng said Chen Ah Jiu was unworthy. Wasn't that just asking for a beating?
To put it bluntly, Lin Feng was overestimating himself!
"Sister Yaoyao, your boyfriend is going too far! What's with your judgment? How could you fall for someone so uncouth?"
A distant cousin of Liu Mengyao, named Liu Lili, stepped forward.
She wasn't particularly attractive, but her makeup was heavy, and her attire was very revealing.
As if deliberately trying to show off, Liu Lili wore a low-cut dress, deliberately exposing her cleavage.
Most shamelessly, the woman wasn't wearing a bra underneath, intentionally revealing her nipples.
As for her lower half, she wore a pair of large fishnet stockings, and they were red – utterly slutty!
"Wow! You really know how to grab attention. If you didn't speak, I, Ke Ke, would have thought you were just air!"
Luo Ke Ke rolled her eyes at Liu Lili. What she disliked most were cheap women like Liu Lili who dressed ostentatiously and tried to show off.
"I, how am I grabbing attention? Did I say something wrong?"
Liu Lili was displeased by Luo Ke Ke's retort and started to moralize. "Sister Yaoyao, it's not that I'm being nosy, but please think carefully. People like Brother Jiu usually only meet dignitaries from the Ming organization. Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to invite him."
"Now, Brother Jiu is here as a guest out of respect for Brother Jianwen. How much face is that!"
"But your boyfriend, he says he's unworthy? What does that mean? Does he mean he's unworthy of being here, and wants to drive him away?"
"How can he be so ungrateful? Isn't this tarnishing the Liu family's reputation!"
Liu Lili went on at length.
Indeed, her analysis made many members of the Liu family feel it made sense, and their gazes towards Lin Feng became filled with ill will and disdain.
"Oh, Lili, you don't have to say that. Ah Jiu is my friend, after all. For my sake, you can't blame us for not being hospitable enough."
"However, you're right about one thing, Ah Jiu is not someone you can invite just anyone. I owe him a great favor!"
Feng Jianwen secretly gave Liu Lili a thumbs-up and started to boast about himself.
"Wow! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you two!"
Luo Ke Ke truly couldn't stand it anymore. She pouted and said, "Cousin Jianwen, please think carefully. No matter how capable this 'Jiu' is, can he be as capable as Grandpa Liu? Even the boss of the Ming organization would respectfully call Grandpa Liu 'Old Leader'!"
"How many dignitaries want to visit Grandpa Liu, but Grandpa Liu doesn't have the time to bother with them!"
"And now you're saying this 'Jiu' coming to the Liu family as a guest is giving the Liu family face. What does that mean? If you lower yourselves, you're also lowering Grandpa Liu's status. Were your brains kicked by a donkey?"
Luo Ke Ke scolded them irritably.
Everyone looked at each other, all silenced by Luo Ke Ke's retort.
Even Chen Ah Jiu's face turned red with embarrassment.
The reason he was so close to Feng Jianwen was to build a relationship with Old Master Liu Tianzheng.
In front of Old Master Liu Tianzheng, he, Chen Ah Jiu, was nothing!
Liu Lili and Feng Jianwen finally realized they had overlooked the prestige of Old Master Liu. In their awkwardness, Feng Jianwen could only change the subject. "Cousins Yaoyao and Ke Ke, that's not what I meant. I'm talking about Lin Feng saying Ah Jiu was not cooperating with him for a one-on-one. There's something wrong with that statement!"
"No matter what, Ah Jiu is a guest, how can he speak like that!"
Luo Ke Ke smiled and said righteously, "What my little Lin said is not wrong. This 'Jiu' is truly not worthy of a one-on-one with my little Lin!"
"You're saying that too?! What are you thinking?"
Feng Jianwen was somewhat bewildered.
What bewildered him even more was that Liu Mengyao also nodded seriously at this moment. "Indeed, he's not worthy. We should go!"
Liu Mengyao wasn't just bragging for Lin Feng; she had personally witnessed Lin Feng's terrifying skills.
In her understanding, Lin Feng's strength was simply beyond what a normal person could withstand.
If this Chen Ah Jiu were to be seriously injured, it would be disrespectful!
