Lin Feng was sound asleep when he suddenly received a call from Liu Yanran. She hurriedly mentioned the address of a bar before hanging up, but that was enough for Lin Feng to understand where Liu Yanran was and what situation she was in.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng got out of bed and dressed. Since all his clothes were stored in the magic ring, he quickly put on his outfit and then left Chen Sheng's residence.
To avoid waking Chen Sheng, Lin Feng used the magic ring to open and close the door silently.
As he left, Lin Feng casually grabbed Chen Sheng's car keys from a cabinet in the living room. He had no qualms about using Chen Sheng's car, as Chen Sheng kept the keys there for Lin Feng's convenience.
While driving, Lin Feng realized that it had been less than two minutes since Liu Yanran hung up.
Although he was already moving quickly, Lin Feng did not dare to slack off. He pushed the car to its limits, knowing that Liu Yanran was likely in a dangerous situation.
The Liu family had left a good impression on Lin Feng. Liu Yanran's grandpa treated him with respect, and the Jade Spirit Pearl was given to him without hesitation. If helping the Liu family wouldn't cost him his own strength, Lin Feng would be more than willing to assist them.
Now that Liu Yanran was in danger, he was eager to rush over and see what was happening.
However, as he drove, Lin Feng couldn't help but reflect on how it seemed like every late-night call he received involved beautiful women asking for help. The last time it was Song Qi, and now it was Liu Yanran. He wondered if this was fate or something else entirely.
With Liu Yanran's address in hand, finding the bar she mentioned was no challenge for Lin Feng. In just five minutes—only five minutes after Liu Yanran hung up—he arrived at the bar. He quickly pulled out the car keys, closed the door behind him, and entered the bar. Using his unmatched Mental Power, he began searching for Liu Yanran's location.
At that moment, Liu Yanran was dealing with Hong Jian, who had lost patience with her reluctance. Although he knew it would be best to coax her into leaving gently, he also feared that too many people from the Liu family might catch on. Seeing Liu Yanran still lost in her drink, he stepped closer. While still speaking sweetly to her, his actions changed; he began to move in to embrace her.
Just then, Lin Feng spotted Liu Yanran and saw Hong Jian attempting to hold her.
Instead of shouting "Stop!" like in the movies—he thought it would be more effective to intervene immediately—Lin Feng decisively took action.
Lin Feng did not know Hong Jian and had never seen him before. Therefore, when he acted, he merely viewed Hong Jian as a rogue trying to take advantage of a drunken female patron at the bar. He used only a common restraint technique; after all, there was no need for excessive force in this situation—this is what Lin Feng thought as he made his move.
Hong Jian clearly noticed Lin Feng making a move. While cursing the clueless guy for meddling, he quickly countered Lin Feng's small joint lock with a reverse lock. In his view, this move was enough to deal with an ordinary person.
According to Hong Jian's prediction, this reverse lock should at least force the opponent's hand away. He struck hard right from the start, showcasing his ruthless nature.
Of course, both sides underestimated each other's abilities.
However, Lin Feng reacted swiftly. Seeing that his opponent was also skilled, he quickly changed tactics. Lin Feng could adapt, and so could Hong Jian. Thus, the two exchanged several moves in an instant.
"Get off me..." Ultimately, it was Lin Feng who reacted just a bit faster, twisting Hong Jian's arm and throwing him from his original position to another spot. Lin Feng then took the opportunity to move to where Hong Jian had been standing, which was now the closest position to Liu Yanran.
Now, Liu Yanran stood behind Lin Feng, receiving his protection.
This is how one should rescue someone; perhaps it's a habit of Lin Feng's. He wouldn't engage in a foolish fight when he was there to save someone.
If you're there to rescue someone, it means that as long as the person you want to save is not within your protective range but in the hands of the opponent, your rescue will face various obstacles. If the opponent realizes you're stronger than them, they might even use your target as a hostage, putting you in a passive position.
This is Lin Feng's line of thought. Maybe others haven't considered such issues, but he pays close attention to these details.
How should one put it? Lin Feng believes that if you're going to save someone, you should come up with the best plan possible. Otherwise, you might end up failing to save them and instead putting them in danger.
"Heh heh... So you're actually a trained fighter; no wonder you dare to play the hero," Hong Jian said with a sly smile.
From their earlier exchange until now, Lin Feng had realized that his opponent was also a martial artist with Internal Energy. While he wouldn't say Hong Jian was exceptionally powerful, it was enough for Lin Feng to take him seriously that someone so young could possess such Internal Energy.
This is one of the advantages of Lin Feng's strong Mental Power. Although they were fighting each other, Lin Feng could gauge his opponent's strength through his Mental Power while Hong Jian couldn't discern Lin Feng's true capabilities. In this sense, Lin Feng's Mental Power gave him a significant advantage in battle.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated." Lin Feng not only knew his enemy but also ensured that they did not know him, giving him a considerable edge.
Lin Feng wasn't some bookworm who thought taking advantage was wrong; he firmly believed that if there's an advantage to be had, one should seize it without hesitation.
Why should one feel that there is a lack of fairness just because they have taken advantage? To Lin Feng, it didn't matter whether it was fair or not; winning was all that mattered.
In a fight, should one bow and inform the opponent before attacking?
Lin Feng was clearly not someone who adhered to such conventions. On the contrary, if Lin Feng had the chance to take advantage, he would definitely not hold back. If he were to show mercy, it would only be because he had already taken full advantage.
"Watch closely this time; I will dislocate your arm. You don't even know your own strength, yet you dare to play the hero," Hong Jian said as he launched another attack, this time using Internal Energy.
"Having martial skills but a corrupt heart, I will cripple you." Although Hong Jian used Internal Energy, Lin Feng felt no pressure from someone like him. Lin Feng had already dealt with several opponents stronger than Hong Jian, so he had no reason to worry about him.
"Bang..." Lin Feng did not take shortcuts and met Hong Jian head-on, causing Hong Jian to fall to the ground.
"Hong Shao... are you okay?" At that moment, Hong Jian's subordinates rushed over, with Tiger leading the way. Just as Hong Jian fell, Tiger arrived in time to catch him.
However, while he caught him, Tiger's entire body went numb, demonstrating just how powerful Lin Feng's strike was.
This was still because Lin Feng had held back his strength. First of all, he hadn't fully understood the situation and had unintentionally beaten someone half to death without knowing what was going on. Secondly, since Lin Feng had just arrived in City A, he didn't want to stir up trouble; if he had gone too hard, it could have led to significant problems.
Seeing that the opponent was young yet possessed such Internal Energy, Lin Feng could easily guess that he wasn't just an ordinary low-level thug.
"Get lost! You little brat, you're hiding quite well," Hong Jian said as he pushed away his subordinates. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned menacingly at Lin Feng.
On Lin Feng's side, whether Liu Yanran felt reassured because she knew Lin Feng had arrived or simply couldn't hold on any longer, she had completely leaned against Lin Feng's arm and allowed him to hold her.
"Liu Yanran, wake up! It's me, Lin Feng," Lin Feng said as he patted Liu Yanran's delicate face, trying to wake her up.
However, Lin Feng was destined to be disappointed; Liu Yanran was deeply asleep and showed no signs of responding to him.
Lin Feng ignored Hong Jian while trying to wake Liu Yanran up. This scene made Hong Jian furious; Liu Yanran was supposed to be his woman. Now she was being held by Lin Feng—how could he remain calm?
Moreover, listening to Lin Feng's words, it was highly likely that he was called over by Liu Yanran. In this case, the fact that Liu Yanran could summon him indicated a considerable level of trust in Lin Feng. The only person who could earn such trust from Liu Yanran, while Hong Jian did not know him, was probably Liu Yanran's boyfriend whom she kept private.
Thinking of this, Hong Jian's eyes turned red.
It seemed that Lin Feng was not only here to ruin his good fortune but also to steal his love. In Hong Jian's mind, he didn't care about who came first; as long as someone was competing with him for Liu Yanran, it was an act of stealing love, and he felt compelled to retaliate.
Well, Lin Feng had no idea that he had unknowingly become someone else's rival in love. Poor him, still trying to wake Liu Yanran up without knowing anything.
Isn't that why they say "beauties bring disaster"? If one is so beautiful, one should be aware of the trouble it can cause.
However, it was clear that at this moment, Liu Yanran had no such awareness. Not to mention being self-aware; even maintaining some consciousness seemed difficult for her, according to Lin Feng.
Soon enough, Lin Feng could no longer attempt to wake Liu Yanran because Hong Jian had launched another attack.
"I say, are you done yet?" Lin Feng felt quite helpless. He initially thought it was just a small-time thug situation that could be resolved easily, but now it seemed he was dealing with someone a bit more skilled and troublesome.
Nevertheless, despite what he said, Lin Feng did not hesitate in action. With a pull and a shove, he seized Hong Jian's fist and, like performing Tai Chi, redirected Hong Jian toward the bar area, causing him to crash into a large lamp hanging from the ceiling of the bar.
It was one of those lamps that emitted various colors of light.
