Although Lin Feng stepping up made her feel a sense of happiness from being protected by a man, she would not let him get hurt because of her.
So, Dong Jie tightened her grip on Lin Feng's fist and walked in front of him. Although she didn't have much money on hand, if Lin Feng got beaten up and ended up in the hospital again, it would cost more than a thousand dollars, and he would suffer physically as well. Therefore, Dong Jie decided to pay the protection fee; she considered it a small loss to avert disaster.
"Hehe... Brother Heizi, the kid doesn't understand, so don't hold it against him. I'll pay the protection fee now; here, this is one thousand dollars." Dong Jie had no choice but to take out the thousand dollars from her pocket. She actually knew that it was the time when the Wolf Gang collected protection fees, so she always kept a thousand dollars on her.
"Hey... Since Sister Dong is so sensible, I won't hold it against you." Heizi just wanted to collect the protection fee; after all, once the money was in his hands, he had personal matters to attend to. He could deal with that kid later.
Heizi was someone who would repay grievances with vengeance; how could he let Lin Feng speak so casually in front of everyone? In his view, it was impossible for that kid to walk away unscathed today.
Lin Feng originally planned to wait for the gangsters to rush over and then defend himself by taking them down. However, at a critical moment, Jie pulled him back, leaving Lin Feng with no chance to stir up trouble unless he was willing to step forward and deal with those people himself.
But doing so might get him arrested while those thugs would become the victims instead. Lin Feng would end up paying medical bills, which was not the outcome he wanted.
After taking the one thousand dollars from Dong Jie, Heizi wore a smug expression as if his scheme had succeeded. Hehe, having collected the protection fee meant he had room to maneuver next. Thinking about the five thousand dollars deposit that person had given him and the promise of another ten thousand once the job was done made Heizi even more excited; this side job was really easy money.
"Hehe... Sister Dong, isn't this protection fee a bit low?" Before looking for trouble, Heizi still understood how to find a harmless excuse; at least this way he could be seen as someone who "talks reason." As for whether they accepted it or not, Heizi didn't care; he would make them accept it under his fists.
"Hehe... Brother Heizi is just joking. One thousand dollars has always been the norm." Dong Jie secretly cursed Heizi for being a jerk but maintained a smile on her face. It was better to avoid trouble; she was just a weak woman struggling in the market. In situations like this, she could only smile along. Sometimes she felt quite sad about it. She wished she could meet a man who would shield her from harm, but unfortunately, over the years, most men interested in her were more attracted to her alluring body.
"One thousand dollars is for protecting your little shop, but these tables and chairs outside are also part of your stall. Shouldn't you pay an extra fee for them?" Heizi was good at stirring up trouble; he only needed a harmless reason. The task given to him was to find fault, and in his eyes, this reason was sufficient.
"Hehe... Brother Heizi, I'm just a weak woman; please don't joke around." Dong Jie had already realized that Heizi's visit probably wasn't just about collecting protection fees. Still smiling, she continued speaking while holding onto Lin Feng's fist again. She feared that if Lin Feng acted impulsively and rushed out, he might get hurt again.
Lin Feng had long realized that Heizi was just looking for trouble. Since that was the case, this matter could not be resolved by Dong Jie’s mere weakness. If being submissive wouldn’t work, then Lin Feng, who had never intended to back down from the start, didn’t need to hold back any longer.
“Haha… Sister Dong is a weak woman. Since that’s the case, I won’t say anything else. Sister Dong just needs to accompany me to the Drunken Dream Pavilion for a meal, have a few drinks, and deepen our relationship… Hehe… Naturally, I’ll only charge you a thousand bucks since we have such a good relationship,” Heizi said with a lewd smile as he circled around Dong Jie, slowly reaching out his hand toward her. The sight made Lin Feng furious.
Lin Feng knew he couldn’t let this continue. If it went on like this, he would be driven mad by these thugs. He couldn’t tolerate them laying their hands on Dong Jie.
To hell with patience. Lin Feng didn’t say much; he quickly pulled Dong Jie, who was getting closer to Heizi’s lewd hand, into his arms and then slapped Heizi’s hand away with his other hand. Although it was just a slap, Lin Feng was filled with anger at that moment, and the force made Heizi jump back with a shout.
At that moment, Heizi couldn’t care less about taking advantage of Dong Jie. He never expected that the usually timid Lin Feng would suddenly become so bold today and even dare to strike.
Not only was Heizi surprised, but Dong Jie was also taken aback. She felt that Lin Feng was very different today; she just didn’t understand how he had changed so much after staying in the hospital. His courage had increased to the point where he dared to embrace her and even hit a thug.
However, despite her surprise, Dong Jie still didn’t believe that Lin Feng could suddenly transform into someone capable of taking down seven or eight thugs. While courage could grow, gaining strength was much more difficult.
Before Dong Jie could stop Lin Feng again, Heizi had already made his move. He was genuinely angry; being hit by a student in public was unacceptable for him. Even though it was just a slap on the hand, with his prideful nature, there was no way he could swallow this humiliation. Even if he could endure it, he had no intention of doing so. After all, this would also be a form of harassment towards Dong Jie. Seeing how much she cared about that kid, Heizi thought that as long as he beat up Lin Feng, he would have completed his mission.
After all, someone had instructed him not to harm Dong Jie. In fact, Heizi was quite satisfied with Lin Feng’s response; thinking about how he could beat Lin Feng into the hospital and earn ten thousand bucks excited him greatly. For someone like him—a small-time gang leader—earning several thousand bucks in a month was already impressive; ten thousand bucks represented several months' worth of income for him.
As for Heizi’s attack, Lin Feng didn’t care at all. Even if it were just Heizi alone or the whole group of thugs together, Lin Feng wouldn’t take them seriously. But no matter how arrogant he was, Lin Feng still needed to keep Dong Jie behind him to ensure her safety. Who knew if these thugs would take Dong Jie hostage and threaten him?
After securing Dong Jie behind him, Lin Feng faced Heizi’s punch head-on. That seemingly fierce punch was easily caught by Lin Feng’s palm before he kicked Heizi away cleanly and decisively.
“Brothers, get him! Anyone who dares to hit our Wolf Gang members is asking for death!” Although Heizi was shocked, there wasn’t time for him to be stunned anymore. After one failed attack, his thug instincts kicked in: if they couldn’t win one-on-one, they would swarm together—after all, they were thugs; who were they afraid of?
At this moment, Dong Jie was also very shocked, but more than that, she was afraid. Although she didn't know how Lin Feng suddenly became so capable, she understood that it wouldn't matter how strong Lin Feng was. Because now Lin Feng had offended the entire Wolf Gang, which consisted of hundreds of people. At this point, she didn't know what to do, but she had already made up her mind to find a way to protect Lin Feng at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
Facing this group of social trash, Lin Feng showed no signs of panic. All he needed to do was knock these people down, and he didn't think it would take much of his time to do so.
The only thing that slightly surprised Lin Feng was a young thug standing still in the distance. Lin Feng knew that these thugs usually attacked in groups, yet this young man who surprised him was just watching from the side. If Lin Feng hadn't seen him arrive with Heizi at the beginning, he might have thought he was just a spectator.
In just ten minutes, Lin Feng had taken care of all the thugs except for the young man who hadn't stepped forward. Heizi, on the other hand, had drawn Lin Feng's "special attention" due to his earlier shameless behavior and would likely take at least ten days or more to recover to normal.
"Li Zhong, you better get your ass moving and take this kid down," Heizi said. He now understood Lin Feng's strength; the group lying on the ground was proof of that. But he wasn't giving up because he had a trump card—one he hadn't expected to use today at this small self-selected market.
This trump card was Li Zhong, who was standing not far away watching the fight. Heizi considered him a trump card because of Li Zhong's exceptional skill with throwing knives.
Upon hearing this, although Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, he secretly became wary of the young man named Li Zhong. If Lin Feng guessed correctly, Li Zhong referred to the young man watching from a distance—the one who had surprised him.
Before Lin Feng could escort Dong Jie to a safer place inside the store, a cold glint appeared in front of him and flashed by. Immediately after, Lin Feng saw a silver throwing knife aimed directly at his face.
What a throwing knife! Although Lin Feng could dodge it at that moment, he chose not to. Dong Jie was right behind him; if he dodged, the knife would instead be aimed at her face. The consequences would be unimaginable.
