"Is your cousin that impressive? Who is he?" Lin Feng asked with a cold laugh after hearing Zhao Liang's words.

"Humph! If I told you, it would scare you to death! My cousin's father is the Director of the Construction Bureau of Jiangzhou City's Nanfeng District. How about that?" Zhao Liang said smugly.

As Zhao Liang spoke, Ma Enhua also shot Cao Ying a proud look.

Jiangzhou City was a municipality directly under the central government. The director of a district construction bureau was considered a department-level cadre. In the bustling Jiangzhou City, such a person was a very influential official. Therefore, having such a father, Ma Enhua felt an immense sense of superiority.

"So what if your dad's an official? I haven't broken any laws, nor do I need anything from him. What can he do to me?" Lin Feng chuckled. These current second-generation officials are a disgrace to their parents. Are officials really all that special? Don't they spend taxpayers' money? Aren't they supposed to be servants of the people?

"Heh, I guessed you'd say something like that. It's just sour grapes because you're poor and resent the rich, you know? I can't be bothered talking to a poor loser like you. Just name your price. How much money will it take for you to break up with this young lady?" Ma Enhua perked up. When it came to money, he had an innate sense of superiority. In his mind, he didn't believe Lin Feng could resist the temptation of money, nor did he think Cao Ying could remain unmoved by his wealth.

Cao Ying slowly slipped out of Lin Feng's embrace and said to him, "I can't be bothered talking to such a money-grubber. Lin Feng, shall we find another place to eat?"

Lin Feng had initially wanted to teach these two arrogant young masters who didn't know their place a lesson. However, seeing that Cao Ying wanted to de-escalate the situation, he thought better of it and agreed, "Alright."

"What? Trying to leave already?"

Before they could even take a step, Chen Liang spread his arms and blocked Lin Feng and Cao Ying.

Lin Feng's anger flared. He reached out, grabbed Chen Liang's outstretched left arm, and slowly tightened his grip. "Pal, haven't you heard the saying, 'A good dog doesn't block the path'? You're asking for it!"

"ARGH!" Before Lin Feng even finished speaking, Chen Liang cried out in pain. "You... let go of my arm, or I'll fucking kill you... ARGH!"

Chen Liang's threats were useless against Lin Feng. Instead of letting go, Lin Feng tightened his grip further, causing Chen Liang's face to flush crimson with pain.

"Friend, are you sure you want to oppose me?" Ma Enhua stepped forward and said. "Do you have any idea what the consequences are for upsetting the son of the Director of the Construction Bureau?"

Ma Enhua gave a sinister smirk, his expression instantly turning arrogant as he shot Lin Feng a vicious, threatening glare.

"Oh, I know the consequences. It's that some fucking son of a bitch is about to get his ass kicked right now!"

Quicker than words could describe, as soon as Lin Feng spoke, his right hand flashed out. SLAP! SLAP! Two resounding slaps sent Ma Enhua reeling, his head spinning and stars dancing before his eyes, completely disoriented.

"You're threatening me? I don't scare easily! Back when I was running wild and making a name for myself, you lot were still in split-crotch pants!" Lin Feng sneered, then snorted disdainfully at Chen Liang and Ma Enhua.

"Cousin, let's get him! There are two of us; I don't believe we can't beat him," Chen Liang whispered into Ma Enhua's ear. "I reckon your dad will be here soon. He said he was going to pick up a leader from the Public Security system. Let's stall until they arrive. Then we can have them dragged to the police station and teach them a lesson!"

Ma Enhua considered it for a moment, then nodded. "When the time comes, just lock that guy up for a few months. Heh heh." Ma Enhua clutched his face, his lecherous gaze fixed on Cao Ying's fair, slender legs beneath her skirt as he spoke, and he couldn't help but gulp.

Chen Liang understood and also smirked coldly.

"What the hell are you smirking at? Scram!" Lin Feng's hearing was excellent. Overhearing the two scoundrels' scheme, he seethed with anger and lashed out with a kick for each of them, sending Chen Liang and Ma Enhua sprawling to the ground.

Ma Enhua writhed on the floor in agony. Just then, he saw a waiter approaching, followed by two middle-aged men with beer bellies. Overjoyed, he cried out, "ARGH! How dare you assault someone in broad daylight! Is there no law? You've broken my bones..."

One of the two middle-aged men was Ma Enhua's father, Ma Jiajun; the other was Jiang Dongguo, the Deputy Director of the District Public Security Sub-Bureau.

Seeing his precious son beaten, Ma Jiajun was enraged. He rushed over, helped Ma Enhua up, and asked, "Enhua, what happened?"

Ma Enhua pointed at Lin Feng and wailed, "Dad, this guy, Lin Feng, attacked Zhao Liang and me! He slapped me twice and kicked me. It hurts so much; I think my ribs are broken! Dad, this lawless thug who disrupts social harmony must be arrested and severely tortured! He even cursed you, saying you couldn't do anything to him, and called you a filthy, corrupt official!"

Ma Enhua knew his father loathed being called a corrupt official more than anything, so he deliberately lied to enrage Ma Jiajun and get his friend from Public Security to deal with Lin Feng.

Ma Jiajun looked up at Lin Feng, but his gaze quickly shifted to Cao Ying beside him, and his eyes widened in surprise.

After a long moment, Ma Jiajun forced a smile, walked over to Lin Feng, and asked, "My friend, what is your relationship with Miss Cao?"

Lin Feng assumed this portly man was also eyeing Cao Ying. Without waiting for her consent, he pulled her into his embrace and declared, "I'm her boyfriend. Your son tried to make a move on my girlfriend in a place like this, so I taught him a lesson. Wouldn't you say that's upholding social justice?"

Seeing Ma Jiajun, and then being suddenly pulled into Lin Feng's arms, Cao Ying turned pale with shock. She tried to struggle free, but Lin Feng held her tightly and wouldn't let go. She was both embarrassed and blushing furiously.

When Ma Enhua saw Ma Jiajun actually questioning Lin Feng instead of immediately punishing him, he grew anxious and tried to fan the flames, "Dad, I just asked this chick for her phone number! She was about to give it to me when this guy started hitting people, damaging hotel property, and cursing you..."

SLAP!

With a crisp sound, Ma Enhua received a heavy slap across the face!

Ma Enhua was slapped before he could even finish his sentence. He didn't dare to show anger, only shock, because the one who had hit him was none other than his father, Ma Jiajun—who had never laid a hand on him in his entire life!

Ma Jiajun's action stunned even Zhao Liang, who was standing nearby. What was going on? Didn't Cousin ask Uncle Ma to deal with Lin Feng? Why was Uncle Ma slapping Cousin instead, as if helping Lin Feng? Was this some kind of mistake?!

"Dad, I asked you to take care of Lin Feng! Why did you hit me?" Ma Enhua wailed, clutching his face, tears welling in his eyes as he looked at Ma Jiajun with an aggrieved expression.
