Chapter 510: Chapter 510: The Untouchable Superstar
In the salon, Zheng Yutong, Su Xiaoyue, Qin Zimo, and others were equally worried for Lin Fei.
Even Yang Jiahao, who had conflicting feelings of love and hate for Lin Fei, was concerned for him.
Major General Li, a significant figure in the military—just looking at the dozens of imposing soldiers in the hall, it was clear that Major General Li was not someone to offend.
Only Yang Youlin secretly rejoiced, waiting to see Lin Fei get a lesson from Major General Li.
Although some in the hall were worried for Lin Fei, others found amusement in his predicament.
However, Lin Fei and Leng Ying showed no change in their expressions, with Lin Fei remaining calm and Leng Ying looking as cold as ever.
But in Lu Yichen’s eyes, Lin Fei and Leng Ying were just putting on airs.
Lin Fei, Lin Fei, it seems you don’t know how strong-willed my uncle is. Trying to act tough in front of him is just courting death.
At this moment, Major General Li walked up to Lin Fei and Leng Ying.
To everyone’s surprise, Major General Li’s solemn face suddenly broke into a smile as he extended his hand to Lin Fei: “Lin Fei, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Major General Li, I didn’t expect to see you here either,” Lin Fei replied, extending his hand as well.
Then their hands clasped together.
Lu Yichen staggered, nearly falling to the ground: What the hell is going on?
Being a tough military man, his uncle didn’t knock Lin Fei and Leng Ying out?
Lu Yichen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, utterly shocked.
Similarly, those prominent figures and wealthy individuals in the hall, who thought the general would slap Lin Fei and Leng Ying, were dumbfounded to see Major General Li shaking hands with Lin Fei.
Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Zheng Yutong, Su Xiaoyue, Qin Zimo, and others were equally puzzled, wasn’t Major General Li Lu Yichen’s uncle?
Why was he shaking hands with Lin Fei and exchanging pleasantries?
Yang Jiahao, who couldn’t distinguish between love and hate for Lin Fei, was even more flabbergasted: Are Lin Fei and Major General Li good friends?
Seeing this scene, Yang Youlin felt as if he had been hammered in the chest, almost to the point of spewing blood.
As the mayor’s son, he had heard of General Li, known as a renowned determined general who rarely smiled all year round and was feared by soldiers more than a grim reaper.
Yet Yang Youlin saw Major General Li smiling kindly at Lin Fei.
How is that possible?…
Everyone around was astounded, but Major General Li, after shaking hands with Lin Fei, also shook hands with Leng Ying and said with a smile: “Mr. Leng, how have you been adjusting since leaving Demon Island?”
Leng Ying nodded: “Thanks to Major General Li, I’ve been adjusting well.”
“That’s good. Otherwise, if you, the King of Killers, went back to Demon Island, those murderers would be on edge and restless,” Major General Li said with a smile.
Leng Ying replied, “Major General Li, you overpraise me.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yichen and Yang Youlin’s faces turned ashen.
While they might be unfamiliar with the name Leng Ying, they knew about Demon Island.
It was an isolated island in the offshore of Shencheng where many murderous madmen were imprisoned.
From Major General Li’s words, they realized Leng Ying’s identity as a murderer from Demon Island, and even the King of Killers feared by all other murderers.
Even the title “King of Killers” sent shivers down their spines.
They finally understood why Zhu Zirui and several strong men were swept away by Leng Ying like leaves in the autumn wind.
This is indeed the King of Killers from Demon Island!
But why did Major General Li place such importance on him?
Both Lu Yichen and Yang Youlin felt an unspeakable confusion.
Similarly, many prominent figures and wealthy individuals in the hall who knew what Demon Island was were also astonished to learn of Leng Ying’s identity.
Like Lu Yichen and Yang Youlin, they were also puzzled by the relationship between Major General Li and Leng Ying.
“Major General Li, since you’re here, why don’t you join us for a drink?” Lin Fei said to Major General Li at this moment.
To everyone’s surprise, Major General Li agreed with Lin Fei and sat down on the sofa.
Lin Fei poured beer for himself, Major General Li, and Leng Ying.
“Come on, Major General Li, let’s have a drink,” Lin Fei said, holding up his glass.
Major General Li and Leng Ying both raised their glasses, and Major General Li said, “Alright, let’s have a drink.”
With a clink, the glasses collided.
Then the three of them tilted their heads and downed their drinks.
This left Lu Yichen utterly stunned: Wasn’t my uncle here to help me get justice?
Why was he drinking with Lin Fei and Leng Ying?
Something’s not right!
“Did you have an unpleasant time here tonight, being disturbed?” Major General Li resumed a solemn expression, glanced at Zhu Zirui and the men lying on the hall floor, and asked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded: “Indeed, it wasn’t very pleasant. We originally wanted to have a good drink and eat something to relax.
But then someone threatened to beat us, and someone else demanded an apology and compensation.
Finally, even Major General Li came, making it impossible to eat and play well, leaving us feeling anxious and on edge.”
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Major General Li thought to himself: Lin Fei, Lin Fei, your acting skills are really worthy of an Oscar.
If others don’t know your strength, don’t I? You even uprooted terrifying forces like the old Prince behind the ten major families, gathering martial experts from Shencheng.
How could a few clowns at the Dragon Club make a lone hero, a king of the South China military, feel anxious and on edge?
Ridiculous.
Of course, Major General Li didn’t say it out loud. By now, he had understood most of the situation.
Lu Yichen described someone exceptionally skilled in martial arts who smashed the Dragon Club and beat Zhu Zirui and others as a bunch of rogue scoundrels, but it was Lin Fei and Leng Ying.
How could Major General Li not know whether Lin Fei and Leng Ying were rogue scoundrels?
He sighed inwardly: To think he was being used as a tool by his nephew tonight.
Major General Li was too familiar with Lin Fei. He was a close confidant of Commander Chen, bravely tasked with eliminating the old Prince!
Even Commander Chen wouldn’t dare offend him, cautiously accommodating in case he needed Lin Fei in the future.
Such a person, neither Major General Li nor Lu Yichen could afford to offend.
So, Major General Li had to put personal feelings aside tonight to pacify Lin Fei’s dissatisfaction.
“Lin Fei, when I got the call from my nephew Lu Yichen, I knew he’d stirred up trouble, and I was worried he’d ruin something major, so I came in person,” Major General Li said with helplessness. Continuing, “I didn’t expect to arrive late. They acted recklessly, and I apologize on behalf of my nephew.”
Lin Fei waved his hand: “No need, Major General Li. There’s no need to apologize. It’s not your fault. Besides, even if you apologize on my behalf, they might not think they’ve done anything wrong.”
Saying this, Lin Fei deliberately glanced at Lu Yichen. How could Major General Li not notice Lin Fei was referring to Lu Yichen?
So, Major General Li put on a stern face, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted angrily at Lu Yichen: “Yichen, aren’t you going to apologize to Lin Fei?”
