Chapter 3

Lin Feng slapped down.

The atmosphere around instantly froze, and everyone was in a state of confusion.

“Lin Feng, are you looking for death?” Chu Qiu touched his burning left cheek, his whole being furious to the extreme.

“Smack—”

Lin Feng slapped again.

The first time, he hit the left cheek, and this time, he hit the right.

“I told you, what are you barking about?” Lin Feng said coldly.

“Alright, alright!” Chu Qiu covered his burning cheeks. This time, he dared not say anything more. After saying “alright” three times in a row, he turned to look at Song Tianqing.

“Master Song, this grudge is settled. I’ll give the Song family one more chance now. Make him kneel down and apologize to me immediately, or I’ll make the Song family disappear from Linjiang!” Chu Qiu looked at Song Tianqing with a terrifying grimace on his face.

Chu Qiu didn’t bring bodyguards tonight, otherwise, he would have Lin Feng lying on the ground, wishing for death.

He wanted Lin Feng to kneel down and apologize.

Song Tianqing looked embarrassed, afraid to offend Chu Qiu.

“Master Song, I’ll give you three seconds!”

“1…”

“2…3!”

Chu Qiu counted slowly, seemingly giving Song Tianqing time to consider, but after the three counts, Song Tianqing had no reaction.

No reaction was precisely his answer.

He chose to help Lin Feng.

Chu Qiu took a deep breath, looked at the Song family members present, and finally locked his gaze on Lin Feng. His eyes were like sharp ice knives, wanting to etch Lin Feng’s appearance into his memory.

After a while.

“Two days later, I want your Song family to perish!” Chu Qiu threw these words and then got into his car, leaving without looking back.

As the car went far away, sighs escaped from the Song family members.

They had completely offended Chu Qiu, and the Song family would face the crazy retaliation from the Chu family.

The Chu family was the largest family in Jiangzhou, with immense power, and the Song family could only look up to them.

In other words, a single word from the Chu family was like a policy in the entire Jiangzhou.

On the side, Song Xueyan’s breathtaking eyes quietly watched Lin Feng. She wanted to see something different from him.

This guy had done something she didn’t dare to do.

After confirming a few times, Song Xueyan was sure that Lin Feng was just an ordinary person. This made her admire Lin Feng’s courage. He had offended the most untouchable entity in the whole Jiangzhou.

“Do I have anything on my face?” Lin Feng asked in confusion.

He could feel that several people were looking at him at the moment.

“Do you know who he is?” Song Xueyan asked without kindness. If it weren’t for Lin Feng’s two slaps, the Song family could have held on for a bit longer.

Now, the Chu family was planning to unleash a thunderstorm to destroy the Song family within two days.

“I don’t know who he is, but he speaks quite arrogantly,” Lin Feng said, showing a harmless smile.

“Sigh…”Song Tianqing let out a long sigh.

He didn’t blame Lin Feng. He understood better than anyone that the Song family had reached its current state largely thanks to Lin Feng’s father.

That’s why Song Tianqing had chosen to protect Lin Feng just now—to make amends for his feelings of guilt towards Lin Feng’s father.

In addition, Song Tianqing secretly set aside a sum of money that would be enough for his family’s expenses for the rest of their lives. So, even if the Song family went bankrupt and perished, they could still survive.

“Uncle Song, there’s no need to worry. The Chu family is not worth fretting over,” Lin Feng said with a slight smile, then turned to Song Tianqing. “In three days, I will bring the Song family back to its original position.”

Lin Feng confidently extended two fingers.

Everyone was puzzled.

Clearly, that was two.

“Don’t talk about three days; we don’t even know if our Song family can last through tomorrow,” Song Tianqing expressed his concern.

“Uncle Song, give me a piece of paper. I’ll teach you how to make it through five days,” Lin Feng said mysteriously.

Song Tianqing, skeptical, took out paper and pen from his briefcase.

Lin Feng took the paper and quickly wrote a paragraph, handing it to Song Tianqing.

As Song Tianqing read the content, he was instantly petrified.

Curious, Song Xueyan also approached, wanting to see the content on the paper. Soon, her face also displayed a peculiar expression.

The content on the paper:

1. Find a guy to unplug the internet cables at Chu Corporation.
2. Have the security turn off the power at Chu Corporation.
3. Spread misleading information at the places where Chu Corporation operates, and then report them back.
4. Sneak into Chu Corporation’s factory and take photos.
5. Steal Chu Corporation’s official seal.

Lin Feng’s suggestions could indeed help the Song family endure for three days. Except for the last one, the others wouldn’t harm the Chu family at all. And the last one happened to be the one Lin Feng wrote for Song Xueyan to see.

He knew Song Xueyan was a cultivator with the strength to obtain the Chu family’s official seal. Losing the official seal could indeed harm the Chu family’s foundation.

Song Tianqing silently put away the note. Apart from the last point, he could dispatch people to try the other four.

“Since the beginning of the year, the Chu family has been using its huge financial advantage to sever our partnerships and poach the backbone of the Song family. Now, asking for some interest from the Chu family is not too much,” Song Tianqing murmured.

He had already made up his mind.

Lin Feng and Song Xueyan, judging from their expressions, also had their own thoughts.

“Uncle Song, I’ll go out for some fresh air and be back later.”

After saying that, Lin Feng walked towards the distant highway alone.

Song Tianqing didn’t say anything but sent two bodyguards to secretly follow Lin Feng, ensuring his safety. They hadn’t forgotten what Chu Qiu had said earlier.

He warned Lin Feng to be careful crossing the road.

Traffic accidents were the specialty of the Chu family when it came to creating accidents.

The three members of the Song family returned to their villa.

In fact, among the entire Song Group, the two people least anxious were Song Tianqing and Song Xueyan.

Song Tianqing had hidden a sum of money, ensuring a worry-free life for the rest of his days.

Meanwhile, Song Xueyan was a cultivator. She knew that with a bit more strength, she could use her status advantage to establish a realm surpassing that of the Chu family.

…

In Linjiang Park.

The evening breeze blew, and moonlight spilled.

Xia Shiyu arrived alone by the river, leaning against the railing, enjoying the night scenery by the river.

She was the executive CEO of a subsidiary company under the Song Group, in charge of the Jiangzhou calligraphy and painting division. She was also a close friend of Song Xueyan.

Tonight, she had intended to visit Song Xueyan at the Song family villa. However, the family maid informed her that the entire Song family had left early in the morning and wouldn’t be back until the evening.

During this period, due to the Chu family’s blockade, the Song family’s industries were under pressure, and Jiangzhou Calligraphy and Painting was no exception. So, Xia Shiyu had no choice but to come and talk to Song Xueyan.

Seeing that Song Xueyan wasn’t at home, she decided to spend some time by the river to clear her mind.

Xia Shiyu had an alluring and slender figure. She wore a pair of black high heels, a tight black skirt that revealed her snow-white legs, and a layer of sheer stockings that outlined her graceful curves, sparking limitless fantasies.

With an extraordinary figure and a stunning face, she was undoubtedly a goddess.

Xia Shiyu instantly attracted heated gazes from those around her.

“Bro, did you see that beauty? She’s really top-notch. I wonder if I can get her contact information.”

“What are you thinking? Ask for her contact information? With this level of beauty, we can only admire from afar. But if she says a word to me, I’ll be blissful for sure.”

“If she steps on me, I’d be willing.” A passerby, looking at Xia Shiyu’s beautiful legs, couldn’t help but spit out in amazement.

Li Er Gou, a small online streamer with a somewhat delinquent background, gains attention from fans by portraying a realistic persona offline.

Tonight, he brought his livestream team to Jiangzhou Park as usual, and his so-called livestream team consisted of his two sidekicks.

The three of them were quickly captivated by Xia Shiyu by the riverside, and the livestream camera was pointed at her.

Li Er Gou’s livestream room instantly exploded with excitement.

【Wow, what a stunning beauty!】

【Love it, such a real beauty, not like online streamers who are all about technology and hard work.】

【Streamer, I heard you like to connect with real people offline. Can you get that beauty’s contact information? I’ll send you a rocket!】

Soon enough, a rocket appeared on the screen.

Li Er Gou was instantly thrilled.

He immediately knelt down to his phone, knocked his head three times heavily, shouting, “Thanks for Liu Ge’s rocket! Liu Ge, rest assured, I’m going to add the beauty’s contact information right away.”

Li Er Gou’s voice was loud.

Xia Shiyu by the riverside also heard it. She turned to look at Li Er Gou and found him kneeling on the ground, thanking profusely. Her eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow; she strongly disliked this kind of online begging behavior.

Suddenly, Xia Shiyu’s expression changed.

Because she noticed that Li Er Gou was actually walking towards her.

Li Er Gou and his two companions greedily stared at Xia Shiyu, their gaze finally falling on her snow-white legs.

“Beauty, can I add a contact?”

“Get lost!”

Xia Shiyu said coldly, showing disdain for the three of them in both words and actions.

Upon hearing the word “get lost,” Li Er Gou’s expression changed.

He signaled his sidekicks to shut down the livestream; he was afraid that the upcoming situation might have a negative impact.

As soon as the livestream was turned off, the three of them approached, surrounding Xia Shiyu.

Li Er Gou’s greedy eyes were fixed on Xia Shiyu, and he smirked, “Beauty, coming to the riverside dressed like this in the middle of the night, are you here to take on a part-time job?”

As Li Er Gou spoke, he felt a burning desire inside.

Staring at those delicate, snow-white legs, he almost wished to take immediate action against Xia Shiyu.

At this moment, Xia Shiyu was on the verge of tears.

Helplessly looking around, she hoped someone would step forward.

Although there were many people around, not a single one was willing to intervene. They instinctively avoided Li Er Gou and his two henchmen.

“If you come any closer, I’ll call the police!”

Xia Shiyu raised her phone, looking at the three men with an icy gaze. She reminded herself not to show any sign of weakness.

“Call the police?” Li Er Gou smirked, “Then tonight, hold onto big brother tightly.”

After saying that, Li Er Gou took a swift step forward, attempting to snatch Xia Shiyu’s phone.

“Swoosh—”

A sudden sound of rushing wind, Lin Feng suddenly appeared in front of Xia Shiyu, grabbing Li Er Gou’s arm. With a quick twist, there was a sound of a bone breaking, followed by a painful howl echoing through the night.

“Ah—”

“My hand!”

Li Er Gou wailed in agony.

But Lin Feng didn’t stop. He lifted Li Er Gou by the collar, gave him a fierce shake, and with a splash, the sound of a falling dog echoed as Li Er Gou was thrown into the river.

Lin Feng looked at the remaining two, coldly saying, “Do you want me to take action, or will you jump in yourselves?”

The lips of the two sidekicks turned white.

“Big brother… we’ll jump in ourselves.”

The two sidekicks shiveringly chose the latter option, one after the other, plunging into the river. Lin Feng’s display of strength moments ago had shattered any thoughts of resistance they might have had.

After dealing with the three, Lin Feng dusted off his hands.

“It’s been a while since I’ve stretched my muscles,” Lin Feng muttered.

Xia Shiyu approached, looking at Lin Feng gratefully. “Thank you for helping me. I’m Xia Shiyu.”

“No need to thank me. I’m Lin Feng. It was just a small effort,” Lin Feng waved his hand. He happened to be passing by and saw Xia Shiyu being harassed by three thugs, so he intervened.

“This is a little token of my gratitude for saving me.” Xia Shiyu took out five hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to Lin Feng.

“Your name is Xia Shiyu, right?”

Xia Shiyu nodded.

“Please don’t taint my noble soul with money. But if you’d like to invite me for a meal, I won’t refuse.”

Xia Shiyu chuckled.

She found the young man in front of her to be quite humorous.

“Can I treat you to a meal then?” Xia Shiyu changed her offer, extending a generous invitation.

Glancing at the time, Lin Feng apologetically shook his head, “Sorry, it’s a bit late tonight. But tomorrow would work.”

“Then tomorrow it is.”

Xia Shiyu smiled slightly, and the two exchanged phone numbers.
