In the past, Lin Feng knew that being with someone like Liu Jie would only lead to being used, with no other outcome. People like Liu Jie wouldn't allow you to gain anything from them; even if you did, it would come at a great cost. For instance, when Lin Feng helped him win a car race at the beginning, Liu Jie generously rewarded Lin Feng with a lot of money. However, the result was that both Dong Jie and Lin Feng nearly lost their lives, while Liu Jie took advantage of Lin Feng to eliminate three Inner Strength Experts from Song Gang.
This made Lin Feng feel as if he was sewing a wedding dress for Liu Jie, which he naturally could not accept. However, knowing this was one thing; Lin Feng couldn't directly sever ties with Liu Jie yet. After all, his strength had been too weak before, and he had already provoked the Song Family. Lin Feng could only endure the situation with Qian Bang and try to find a balance between Qian Bang and Song Gang to ensure his survival.
After all, when one's strength is lacking, it's better to be low-key in dealing with matters.
Now, however, Lin Feng believed his strength had improved significantly. There was no need for him to continue bowing to Qian Bang or Liu Jie. What he once had to endure was no longer necessary. Now, Lin Feng had successfully stirred up conflict between Song Gang and Qian Bang. He felt like a fisherman who didn't care about the fate of the fish fighting in the pond; the more fiercely they fought, the better it was for him, as many issues no longer required his attention.
Finally free from the need to tread carefully between Qian Bang and Song Gang, Lin Feng felt quite pleased.
At this point, Liu Jie had nothing left to say. With Lin Feng's recent display of strength, there was no longer any need for him to compromise due to his previous weakness. What puzzled Liu Jie was whether Lin Feng had been hiding his strength all along or if he had genuinely improved so much in such a short time.
From Liu Jie's perspective as a martial artist, he believed that improving one's strength within just a few days was nearly impossible, especially to such an extent. Therefore, he could only selectively believe that Lin Feng had been concealing his abilities before.
However, if that were true, Liu Jie couldn't understand why it would have benefited Lin Feng to hide his strength from him.
Despite Liu Jie's self-proclaimed intelligence, he still couldn't figure out how Lin Feng managed to achieve such terrifying prowess in just a few days.
Even though he couldn't comprehend it, Liu Jie couldn't chase after Lin Feng now to clarify things. After all, Lin Feng's words had effectively severed their relationship. No matter how much Liu Jie wanted to confront Lin Feng now, it was impossible.
Thus, Liu Jie sighed as he left the Western Restaurant. He understood that the situation had escalated beyond what he could control and could only return home to report the situation honestly to his father and let him decide what to do next.
Taking out Chen Sheng's car keys, Lin Feng drove back to Dong Jie's Self-Service Store. He knew that Dong Jie must be worried about him at this moment; it was best to reassure her first. Of course, if possible, Lin Feng planned to spend the night at Dong Jie's place.
Since their encounter at the bottom of the cliff last time, Lin Feng felt that he and Dong Jie had crossed certain boundaries and naturally hoped for more contact with her.
Skillfully parking his car at Dong Jie's place, it was already evening. However, since Dong Jie's Self-Service Store hadn't opened in recent days, it was quite quiet there.
In fact, this calmness was quite nice. Now that Lin Feng had some money on him, he naturally didn't want Dong Jie interacting too much with people from society. One of the main reasons he helped out here before was that he feared those older men would take advantage of Dong Jie when she set up snacks outside at night.
Although Wolf Gang is now aware of Dong Jie's importance to Lin Feng, and there are people protecting Dong Jie at her small shop every day, Dong Jie cannot treat her customers coldly if she wants to do business. Female customers are manageable, usually just haggling over prices, but the men who have been drinking often take advantage of the situation and speak inappropriately to Dong Jie. While Dong Jie handles these situations well, Lin Feng still feels uneasy, or rather, he simply does not want to see those men looking at Dong Jie with lewd eyes.
With this in mind, Lin Feng has decided that tonight he will have Dong Jie close her self-service shop. If Dong Jie wants to run a business, he can invest in opening a shopping plaza next to School. Although Lin Feng has seen many marketing strategies in his past life, there really isn't a shopping plaza like this in City B, a mid-level city. Therefore, he believes that starting such a business would be quite profitable.
Even though the money earned may seem small to Lin Feng, for an ordinary person, an annual income of hundreds of thousands is considerable.
However, what matters to Lin Feng is that once the shopping plaza is established, Dong Jie can come over to manage it and will no longer need to run that small shop. In the shopping plaza, as part of the management team, Dong Jie won't have to constantly cater to customers' moods. Additionally, Lin Feng can arrange for some members of Wolf Gang to work as security in the shopping plaza, which would provide a formal layer of protection for Dong Jie.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng is eager to share his idea with Dong Jie. He quickly turns off the engine and gets out of the car, opening the shop door.
Upon entering, he sees Li Zhong, Dong Jie, and Chen Xinni inside. Their faces are filled with worry; after all, they do not know how strong Lin Feng really is or whether he can contend with the powerful Song Family behind Song Xin.
"Hey... everyone was waiting for me?" Lin Feng greets them with a relaxed expression, hoping to ease their concerns.
In fact, his relaxed demeanor comes naturally since everything that happens tonight is within his expectations.
"Really, Lin Feng, did you take them down?" Only Chen Xinni among the three dares to ask such a question.
"Of course! With just one word from me, they were scared out of their wits," Lin Feng responds playfully to lighten the mood.
"Come on... are you hurt?" Hearing this boast from Lin Feng, Chen Xinni feels a surge of joy. At least his casual banter makes her feel closer to him. Previously, when he spoke to her, it was always so indifferent that it created distance between them.
As she speaks, she walks over to check on him closely, wanting to see if he has any injuries since he faced the entire Song Gang.
After everything that happened tonight, Chen Xinni realizes that it was because Lin Feng had provoked the young master of the Song Gang that he went to City A. Now she knows that he has returned openly to City B, a mid-level city. Moreover, he even managed to reclaim his standing against the Song Gang.
At this moment, the image of Lin Feng as a "hero" in her mind grows even taller. He swiftly avenges grievances and laughs while turning enemies into ashes—what a heroic spirit!
"Nope, I'm fine." However, Lin Feng feels uncomfortable with how closely Chen Xinni is inspecting him and quickly steps away while saying so.
To him, this kind of scrutiny feels more appropriate for Dong Jie. Being examined like this by Chen Xinni makes him feel somewhat awkward.
Naturally, Chen Xinni notices his avoidance and feels disappointed. Standing there momentarily at a loss for what to do—this is her first time acting this way toward a man and facing such a situation; it's only natural she feels flustered.
Seeing this awkwardness in Chen Xinni, perceptive as she is, Dong Jie gives Lin Feng a light tap and quickly engages in conversation with her to shift attention away. She fears that this clueless guy might inadvertently hurt Chen Xinni's feelings.
In the past, Lin Feng truly did not understand the hearts of women, but now, even if he were foolish, he could sense Chen Xinni's feelings and affection for him. However, knowing this only made Lin Feng deliberately avoid Chen Xinni. To put it in a more fashionable way, Chen Xinni was simply not his type.
Lin Feng could never have any other thoughts about Chen Xinni. He knew what kind of man he was. In the past, when he had no power or influence, he was still very concerned about a woman's purity. Now, it's not that Lin Feng was arrogant; he believed there were very few women in the world who were beyond his reach, and naturally, he placed even more importance on this woman's purity.
As for Chen Xinni, a woman who changed boyfriends as easily as changing clothes, Lin Feng believed that no matter what, he could never accept her. Since that was the case, he decided to nip this kind of affection in the bud. This way, it could be considered as not wanting Chen Xinni to get too involved—better to have a short pain than a long one.
Chen Xinni also noticed Lin Feng's attitude towards her and felt quite disappointed. She could only chat with Dong Jie about other topics. Of course, while she said she was talking about something else with Dong Jie, her mind was focused on Lin Feng. Unfortunately, seeing Dong Jie and Chen Xinni discussing topics that a man like him couldn't interrupt, Lin Feng called over Li Zhong and found a place to chat with him.
"I've told you the whole process of tonight's events, Li Zhong. You go back and inform Wolf King and the others. My intention is for Wolf Gang to remain hidden behind me for now. Against Song Gang and Qian Bang, Wolf Gang is still too weak. Please convey my message to Wolf King as well. Contact me if anything comes up." After explaining everything that happened tonight to Li Zhong, Lin Feng instructed him further.
"Okay, since Feng Shao has said so, I will relay it to Wolf King and the others when I return. Song Gang and Qian Bang have the numbers on their side; it’s best for Feng Shao to be cautious," Li Zhong listened carefully to Lin Feng's words while feeling impressed by Lin Feng's strength and seriously replied.
"Right, if there's nothing else, you can take Chen Xinni back. Drive your car to drop her off; she'll come back tomorrow to pick up her own car." Among men, there were only a few words exchanged. Once finished, Lin Feng began to send him off. His relationship with Li Zhong was now like that of brothers, so there was no need for any pretense.
"By the way, what should I do about the money you gave me earlier?" Li Zhong asked. Previously, Lin Feng had given him a large sum of money; now that Lin Feng had returned, it was time for him to handle it himself.
"Just keep that money with you for now. If I need you to do something in the future, you can use that money then. I trust you." That money amounted to several tens of millions, but Lin Feng felt there was no need to take it back since he trusted Li Zhong. He believed in his own judgment; otherwise, he wouldn't have given the money to Li Zhong in the first place.
Seeing how much trust Lin Feng placed in him moved Li Zhong deeply. At the same time, he reminded himself that he must always remain loyal to Lin Feng and not betray his trust.
