Chapter 141: The One Who Fell with a Single Move
As Nangong Bing was driving, she kept pondering. It’s like whatever he does has nothing to do with me, right?
Even if he sleeps with other women, what does that have to do with me? He’s not my husband, and I’m not his wife. Why should I get angry over him?
With that thought, Nangong Bing finally felt some relief. Seems like I was being unreasonable! Even if he selects lingerie for another woman, what does it have to do with me? At most, we are just betrothed by our parents’ arrangement, and our marriage hasn’t even been finalized yet, so he can do whatever he wants.
Thinking this, Nangong Bing was tempted to go back, but as the president of Tianyu Group, how could she possibly lower her head to a little security guard like you? Besides, even if I got angry, so what?
At this moment, Nangong Bing knew she was being unreasonable but still stubbornly found excuses to justify herself.
Well then, that guy is usually so full of himself, might as well let him learn how formidable Missy here is if I go back.
Having had these thoughts, Nangong Bing smugly drove her sports car away, not even considering going back to pick up Lin Zifeng—it was out of the question.
Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng stood at the entrance of the lingerie store, deeply inhaling his cigarette, his gaze intently following the sleazy man who had just sneakily slunk inside.
He was curious to see what the man was up to.
And surely enough, just as Lin Zifeng had suspected, the guy really rushed out with a large amount of provocative lingerie and started running towards a small alley in a panic, with the charming store manager—who had just passed Lin Zifeng a note—chasing after him, hysterically yelling "thief!" Her lovely eyes were brimming with tears.
But the men and women on the pedestrian street just watched the spectacle with amusement, as if such a commotion had been rare to witness, with not a single person willing to help.
"Call the police! Call the police!"
The distraught store manager shouted to the employees, knowing that this trendy lingerie store was part of a national chain. She was just a franchise manager, and even an ordinary piece of lingerie here reached a thousand yuan. If a theft occurred, it meant her salary for several months would have been for nothing.
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
The female store manager ran out frantically. Seeing this scene, Lin Zifeng couldn’t help feeling the apathy of the people of Huaxia, which gave rise to an odd sensation in him.
As the perverted, sleazy man ran away with the erotic lingerie, he thought he could do as he wished under the cover of night. But as he ducked into a small alley, he found a not-so-tall, mysterious man smoking a cigarette, nonchalantly leaning against the corner wall with one leg propped against the other side of the wall. In the dim night light, the man’s expression was extremely cold, tinged with a touch of sadness.
This made the already guilty thief even more nervous.
However, relying on his sly cunning, he feigned composure, hid the bunch of provocative lingerie behind him, then took slow, unsettled steps toward the corner where the man stood, hoping that the other was just an ordinary person feigning heartbreak. But as he got closer, he saw the man staring at him with a horrifying smile that was as chilling as a demon’s, especially with his ice-cold, chiseled face that seemed unmelting. Although he was smiling, the sleazy man had a disconcerted feeling, as if the man was proudly laughing at him. Had he seen me stealing something?
No! Impossible, he definitely didn’t notice me stealing, and there’s no way he could have gotten ahead of me so quickly. I’ve cased this lingerie store for over a week and knew every possible escape route like the back of my hand. There’s no way he could’ve caught up in such a short time. Could he be not human?
Thinking about it, the sleazy man’s complexion turned green and purple.
"There can’t possibly be ghosts and gods in this world," he mustered the last bit of courage remaining in his heart and stammered, "Bro, brother, could you please step aside?"
Although he said this, guys like him who were twisted inside were quite sharp. His eyes kept darting to Lin Zifeng, ready to bolt at the slightest hint of trouble.
He knew the alley Lin Zifeng was blocking was his fastest escape route, but there were other ways out, although they would involve more effort.
"Oh? Why should I step aside for you?"
Lin Zifeng raised an eyebrow and exhaled the faint smell of tobacco. Bathed in the glow of the dim streetlights, his features weren’t very clear, but from the shadows, the sleazy man could tell that this guy wasn’t particularly muscular, even rather thin, especially with his languid demeanor, as if he had been indulging in drinking and womanizing for years. He seemed to be all show and probably someone you could knock down with a single punch, and they wouldn’t be able to get up for a while.
Suddenly, the sleazy man laughed menacingly and said, "Get out of my way!"
The sleazy man began to clench his fists, a faint sinister light shining in his eyes.
Lin Zifeng remained leaning against the corner of the wall, his eyes hazy as he said, "What’s the matter? Stole something from the lingerie shop and now you want to run? You really are a pervert."
Lin Zifeng looked at him half-smiling, "Go return the items to the shop. Life isn’t easy for them either. Taking their stuff like that, haven’t you ever considered their feelings? Return the items, and today I’ll let you go."
Lin Zifeng was a relatively kind person because, although he despised such behavior, he still hoped to give the pervert a chance to mend his ways.
Suddenly, a huge palm as quick as lightning smacked the sleazy man’s face! In an instant, his face was struck by the palm, blood gushing out, and he almost got stunned.
Before he could finish his words, Lin Zifeng had smacked him down. Blood streamed from his nose and mouth, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog.
You could curse anyone, but cursing Lin Zifeng’s family was absolutely unforgivable!
The sleazy man, knocked to the ground, slowly regained consciousness, instinctively covering his nose. In the dim light, he hadn’t seen when Lin Zifeng had struck, even suspecting that Lin Zifeng had deliberately struck early, which was purely accidental.
After the slap from Lin Zifeng left his face bloody, the sleazy man’s rage skyrocketed. If he didn’t take down this guy, he might end up in the hands of the police today; when someone is pushed to the edge where their life is threatened, the fury they unleash is exceptionally violent.
So, he picked up a pointed stone from the corner of the wall and aimed it at Lin Zifeng’s head, but just as he lifted the stone and was about to smash it down, he found that the arm holding the stone couldn’t move at all!.
