Liu Weihao was right, his dad had once treated Fourth Master, so Fourth Master could be considered his backer.
"Are you fucking kidding me? Fourth Master is dead? You trying to fool your dad? With your cowardly look, you still claim to know Fourth Master!"
"What? Fourth Master is dead?" Liu Weihao exclaimed in shock; he genuinely hadn’t heard the news of Fourth Master’s death.
"Haha, look at this guy; he’s just playing the fool, not even knowing about Fourth Master’s death!" a group of thugs laughed uproariously.
They’re just a few punks, right? As long as he revealed his background, they would certainly fawn over him.
"I don’t care who you guys are, get lost fast. Do you know who I am? My dad is..."
Liu Weihao hadn’t finished his words when a solid slap landed fiercely, ringing crisply, instantly knocking him down and seeing stars, as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go! Liu Weihao cried out in pain in his mind.
"Dumbass, I am your daddy!" one of the thugs kicked Liu Weihao harshly again.
Two loyal lackeys came over attempting to help Liu Weihao up, but what greeted them was a vicious beating from the thugs, who possessed admirable combat skills, slamming their fists into the lackeys’ heads and causing blood to stream from their faces.
The other male and female doctors all turned pale with fright.
They had never seen such gory scenes, nearly losing control one by one.
"Had enough of playing the fool?"
A faint voice arose without warning, as Ye Chenfeng, puffing on a cigarette, walked over at a leisurely pace.
"Who’s that? Step out! Is it you..."
When the thugs saw Ye Chenfeng’s face clearly, their expressions stalled, and their bodies stiffened.
Of course, they recognized Ye Chenfeng; it was he who had directed a group of security guards to beat them mercilessly during the day. Although they hadn’t suffered substantial injuries, being laughed at by countless "colleagues" was a humiliating Chapter in their professional lives.
"You guys have a pretty good memory!" Ye Chenfeng said indifferently, completely ignoring them.
The group exchanged glances and charged at Ye Chenfeng, surrounding him in an instant.
They had only seen Ye Chenfeng’s motivational and commanding abilities during the day but hadn’t witnessed his actual strength. Thus, they all assumed Ye Chenfeng couldn’t fight well and decided it was a good time to avenge the day’s disgrace!
"What do you guys want?" Ye Chenfeng looked at them with interest.
On the side, Lin Qingzhu was anxiously dying to help, but she was watched by several thugs and couldn’t seek help.
"Kid, we’re going to reclaim the humiliation from the day tonight! Prepare to die..." the thugs declared arrogantly.
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with them, and with a Straight Punch, instantly knocked out all the teeth of the thug speaking, who covered his mouth and screamed loudly in pain.
The other thugs were stunned, not expecting Ye Chenfeng to start the fight outright.
"Bang bang bang...crackle and pop..."
What followed was Ye Chenfeng’s showtime; in less than a minute, he had knocked down all the thugs. He finished it off with a beautiful Tai Chi finale.
"So cool! Such a man!"
Not sure who in the crowd shouted first, but then everyone started to applaud.
"So weak! Scram!" Ye Chenfeng dusted off his hands and kicked one of the thugs.
At that moment, the thugs scattered and fled, running as fast as they could. Having been beaten up twice today, they were lucky that Ye Chenfeng hadn’t gone for the kill, otherwise half of their lives would have been left behind.
The doctors, who had finally come to their senses, were flabbergasted. Ye Chenfeng was too incredible—who was he really? The thugs had beaten Liu Weihao and his group half to death, but in Ye Chenfeng’s hands, they turned into soft persimmons, to be squashed as he pleased!
Lin Qingzhu was the happiest one. By now, she was almost sober, but her feelings had not changed, they had only intensified.
"Chenfeng, shall we take a cab back?" Lin Qingzhu asked, clinging to Ye Chenfeng’s arm, and she gave a smug look at Liu Weihao.
"Qingzhu, should I give you guys a lift back?" Wang Xue also had a car. She felt somewhat embarrassed now, she had previously called Ye Chenfeng a coward, and now she thought he was incredibly cool and very manly.
Lin Qingzhu smiled and was about to decline when Ye Chenfeng spoke up, "No need, I drove here!"
With that remark, Ye Chenfeng drew everyone’s attention, and they all curiously watched him.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Chenfeng walked towards a nearby parking lot, stopping in front of a black SUV, and to everyone’s astonishment, he took out a key and opened the car door.
"A Range Rover!" exclaimed Wang Xue.
"Ah? A Range Rover?" Everyone else was shocked.
Wang Xue, familiar with car models, continued, "And it’s the top-of-the-line Range Rover, worth at least four million!"
As soon as these words fell, everyone gasped. Four million? For them, that was a staggering figure!
The gap between a security guard making three thousand and a tycoon worth four million was too vast. Everyone had difficulties grasping this drastic change, unable to see through the transformation from security guard to tycoon.
Ye Chenfeng rolled down the car window, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding a cigarette, "Doctor Lin, get in!"
What kind of man is most attractive? Ye Chenfeng as he was now, seemed the most charming.
"Goodbye, everyone, be careful, I’m heading back now!" Lin Qingzhu, her face brimming with happiness, resembled a newlywed bride, her face rippling with an unprecedented joy and sweetness.
Ye Chenfeng started the car, and, like an arrow released from a bow, he sped off.
He left behind a group with fiery cheeks. Wang Xue realized that she had always been playing the role of a fool.
As for Liu Weihao, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. His face had been slapped so hard tonight—slap after slap—that he probably wouldn’t be able to lift his head in front of Lin Qingzhu ever again.
Of course, the car wasn’t actually Ye Chenfeng’s; it belonged to Li Yang, who felt that Ye Chenfeng might need it and had given him the car keys earlier.
Meanwhile, the thugs who had just been taught a lesson by Ye Chenfeng helped each other on their way back.
As they entered a street, they suddenly sensed an unusual atmosphere, a tingling chill spreading in the air, causing them all to shiver uncontrollably.
They quickened their pace, eager to leave this street behind.
But the deeper they went into the street, the more intense the biting cold became. Despite it being a hot early autumn, they felt as if they were in the dead of winter.
The next second, a swish of footsteps was heard.
The few were startled. Though the sound of the footsteps was light, barely audible, it somehow seemed amplified in their ears, rather unnerving.
At the far end of the street, shrouded in mist with a strange atmosphere, a black figure emerged under the faint light, as if a ghost had appeared in the dead of night.
