Watching the four burly men close in step by step, Hu Yuanyuan’s face was filled with despair. Though she came from a military family, that didn’t mean she had a soldier’s skills. On the contrary, she was just an ordinary, delicate woman.
Li Feng was by her side, but what could he do? Could he possibly take on these four men? It was unthinkable. Li Feng’s reputation for being timid and weak was well-known. He could barely protect himself, let alone save her.
Was this the end for her, Hu Yuanyuan, here and now?
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
“A bunch of trash daring to make noise here.” At that moment, Li Feng’s voice rang in her ears, instantly filling her empty heart with a surge of warmth.
My God, how could she feel this way?
Hu Yuanyuan found it unbelievable. Would Li Feng save her? How could he? Did he even have the strength?
Questions swirled in her mind. She looked up at Li Feng, who stood calmly in front of her.
In that instant, he seemed like a towering mountain shielding her from the storm.
“Still playing hero on your deathbed?” Lin Sheng sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent as he recalled Li Feng’s disdain in the lab. He turned to the four men. “Brothers, give him a good beating. I want him to wish he were dead.”
“Don’t worry, torturing people is our specialty.”
“This bastard wants to play hero? I’ll make him a dog instead.”
“Acting tough in front of us? Doesn’t that mean he looks down on us?”
“This guy’s skin is so fair, maybe he’d feel better than a woman. If Lone Wolf were here, he’d love it.”
The four men grinned maliciously as they approached Li Feng. To them, his fair complexion marked him as a pretty boy, especially pale.
According to Lin Sheng, this pretty boy was the vice president of Xiangfeng Investment Company, likely climbing the ranks with his looks. It made sense—men liked beautiful women, women liked handsome men. As the company president, Hu Yuanyuan could easily keep a pretty boy like him.
Dealing with a guy like this would be a piece of cake. They could handle him with one hand. The only reason they all approached was Hu Yuanyuan. A woman like her was too tempting to pass up.
If they hadn’t promised Lin Sheng the first go, they might have taken her right then and there.
“Kid, go to hell.” One of the men reached Li Feng, sneering as he swung a heavy hand toward his face.
This man had been a tough thug in Tianhai City for years, known for his brute strength. He was confident this slap would send Li Feng flying.
Seeing this, Hu Yuanyuan closed her eyes in fear.
“Trash.” Just as the man’s hand was about to hit, Li Feng let out a cold hum and vanished from his spot.
“Ah!”
A scream echoed. Lin Sheng and the other three men smirked, thinking it was a done deal.
“Li Feng, let’s see how you play hero now—uh…” Lin Sheng’s words cut off as he stared in shock.
The one flying backward wasn’t the pretty boy Li Feng—it was a Black Stone Gang member. How was this possible? Wasn’t Li Feng supposed to be a weakling?
The other three men were equally stunned. They’d worked together for years, their strength comparable. Seeing their brother sent flying by a single kick from Li Feng was unbelievable. This wasn’t a pretty boy—it was a tiger.
Hu Yuanyuan couldn’t bear to watch Li Feng get beaten. She’d closed her eyes when the man swung, certain Li Feng couldn’t withstand it. The scream confirmed her fears, but something was off—it wasn’t Li Feng’s voice.
Opening her eyes, she saw Li Feng still standing there, while a Black Stone Gang member lay groaning on the ground nearby. How had this happened? Did Li Feng do this?
“Damn it, get him!” Lin Sheng snapped out of his shock, glaring at Li Feng in fury. He’d thought Li Feng was a useless pretty boy, but this strength sparked a sense of dread.
“Kid, you dared hit our brother? Die!” The remaining three men charged at Li Feng with grim smiles, no longer underestimating him. They attacked with full force.
“Li Feng, be careful!” Hu Yuanyuan shouted.
“Don’t worry. With me here, no one can hurt you,” Li Feng said with a light chuckle, his gaze turning icy as he faced the three men. “Since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige.”
“You’re the one who’s going to die,” the three men sneered, pulling daggers from their jackets and lunging at him.
Li Feng smirked and stepped forward instead of retreating.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Three screams rang out. Lin Sheng couldn’t even see what happened before the three men were sent flying.
“Now it’s your turn, Lin Sheng,” Li Feng said coldly, walking toward him. If he weren’t confident in his strength, he wouldn’t have brought Hu Yuanyuan here.
“You… what do you want?” Lin Sheng stammered, retreating with each step Li Feng took. If even the Black Stone Gang men weren’t his match, Lin Sheng stood no chance. Fear consumed him. If he’d known Li Feng was this strong, he wouldn’t have lured him here. If it had just been Hu Yuanyuan, he could’ve done whatever he wanted.
“What do I want?” Li Feng’s cold gaze locked onto him, his killing intent palpable. “Lin Sheng, you betrayed the company, and I didn’t settle that score. Yet you kidnapped Yu Ping and threatened President Hu. Since you’re begging for death, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
In his past life, Li Feng had killed countless people. Even a sliver of his killing intent was more than Lin Sheng could handle. Lin Sheng’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with despair.
“You, Li Feng, don’t come closer! Come any closer, and I’ll kill him!” Somehow, Lin Sheng had retreated to Yu Ping’s side. Like grasping at a lifeline, he pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Yu Ping’s neck.
Li Feng let out a cold laugh, his steps unrelenting.
“Don’t come closer! Don’t!” Lin Sheng pressed harder, the dagger breaking Yu Ping’s skin, blood trickling down.
“Lin Sheng!” Li Feng suddenly roared.
Lin Sheng froze.
A flash of silver gleamed.
“Ah! My hand!” Lin Sheng screamed, his wrist severed, the pain nearly knocking him out.
“You… you…” Staring at the approaching Li Feng, Lin Sheng felt like he was facing a demon. How could he be this strong? How was it possible?
Li Feng grabbed Lin Sheng by the collar, lifting him up. “Lin Sheng, you betrayed the company, kidnapped Yu Ping, and threatened President Hu. Since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me.”
*Slap!*
“That’s for betraying the company.”
*Slap!*
“That’s for kidnapping Yu Ping.”
*Slap!*
“That’s for offending my woman.”
*Slap!*
“That’s…”
*Slap!*
“…”
*Slap!*
Li Feng delivered slap after slap, turning Lin Sheng’s face into a swollen mess. Still unsatisfied, he threw Lin Sheng into the distance.
*Thud!*
Lin Sheng crashed to the ground, unable to move.
Li Feng sneered coldly. He wasn’t showing mercy. If Hu Yuanyuan weren’t here, he’d have killed Lin Sheng already. Even now, Lin Sheng was barely alive, destined to spend the rest of his life bedridden.
Walking to Yu Ping, Li Feng untied the ropes and tore off the tape from his mouth, saying apologetically, “Yu Ping, you’ve suffered.”
“Vice President Li, I’m fine,” Yu Ping said, his face pale and expression haggard, clearly shaken by the ordeal.
“Li Feng, are you okay?” Hu Yuanyuan finally reacted, realizing Li Feng hadn’t been exaggerating. He was capable.
She breathed a sigh of relief. He was fine.
Li Feng shook his head. “Let’s leave now.”
“What about them?” Hu Yuanyuan glanced at Lin Sheng and the others.
“Someone will handle it,” Li Feng said, supporting Yu Ping with one hand and holding Hu Yuanyuan’s with the other. He glanced at a corner of the warehouse and left without looking back.
