Lin Feng had certainly heard of Little Li Flying Dagger, he just had never seen it in action.
However, judging from Li Zhong's speed and accuracy with the flying daggers earlier, it could be said that "the knife did not miss its mark."
"Hehe... I haven't heard of it." Although Lin Feng felt some interest in this so-called heir of Little Li Flying Dagger, he had no good feelings towards this person at the moment. Since there were no good feelings, there was naturally "no point in exchanging pleasantries."
"Young hero, please wait. That last move with the dagger was truly impressive; I admire it. I hope you can forgive my rashness," Li Zhong said, fully expecting Lin Feng's cold demeanor and forced a smile.
"I told you to stop calling me young hero! I'm not any young hero, nor am I your friend. I have things to do. Jie, let's go inside." Regardless of who it was, no one would have good feelings towards someone who had just thrown a dagger at them and was now apologizing. Lin Feng was no exception.
Seeing that Lin Feng remained unfriendly, Li Zhong decided not to press further. Although he had been forced to follow Heizi for the past few years, he knew a thing or two about dealing with people. He realized that anything he said to Lin Feng now would be futile, especially since he had just thrown a dagger at him.
However, if he hadn't thrown the dagger, how would he have known about Lin Feng's remarkable skills?
Catching a flying dagger with bare hands—just thinking about it was hard to believe. Li Zhong saw in Lin Feng the hope for his own future; more specifically, the hope of finding his sister.
Since he became aware of his surroundings, Li Zhong had always hoped to find his sister, the one who had been given away because their family was too poor.
At that time, when his sister was given away, Li Zhong was only six years old, and his sister was just beginning to walk. When he learned that his sister was to be given away, little Li Zhong refused to accept it and secretly hid her away. But being just a child, it wasn't long before Li Father found her again. In the end, under Li Father's pleading, Li Zhong watched as his chubby little sister was taken away by a stranger.
From that moment on, there was no news of his sister. It wasn't until Li Father's deathbed that Li Zhong learned which family she had been given to.
After burying his father, Li Zhong left the mountain village where he had lived all his life with Heizi, working as a thug while eagerly seeking out the family mentioned by his father to find his sister.
Just when Li Zhong finally found that family after much hardship and thought he would finally reunite with his sister, he discovered that she had not even stayed with them for a month before being adopted by someone else.
After all, in those times, no family was wealthy; it wasn't uncommon for children to be passed around like this. Li Zhong felt immense anger but ultimately gritted his teeth and left that family.
He knew that taking out his anger on them would not help him at all; rather, it would be an act of ingratitude since they had cared for his sister for a month.
Moreover, if that family did something wrong in this regard, then wouldn't his own family be even more culpable? After all, they were the ones who first gave her away; how could they complain about others doing the same?
After several years of inquiries, Li Zhong finally gathered some clues about his sister. Based on these clues, he speculated that she might have been taken by some kind of gang. However, the mystery surrounding this gang made it impossible for him to discover where his sister was.
He understood that with his abilities, he might never come into contact with this mysterious gang in his lifetime—let alone find his sister.
So, he needed help, the help of someone stronger than him. In order to find his sister, he was even willing to give up everything, including his life.
This was the promise that Li Zhong made to his sister at that time, and he had been fulfilling that promise ever since.
Finally, fate brought Li Zhong to Lin Feng, the young man who caught his flying knife with one hand. Li Zhong had a feeling that this young man might be able to help him; at the very least, he was stronger than Li Zhong—much stronger.
It is important to note that shooting a flying knife and catching one are not the same concept. In fact, catching a flying knife with bare hands is much more difficult than simply throwing one.
If Lin Feng knew that his action of catching the knife, completed due to the "Absolute Domain" of the magic ring, led Li Zhong to define him as "stronger," he would probably have mixed feelings about it.
However, by sheer coincidence, Li Zhong was right; Lin Feng was indeed stronger than him, something Li Zhong would come to deeply understand in their future interactions.
After sending Dong Jie into the shop, Lin Feng rolled up his sleeves and began cleaning outside. He was already quite familiar with this task.
Watching Lin Feng sweat while working hard, Dong Jie felt both happy and sad. He was happy that Lin Feng was no longer as timid as before and somehow had become so skilled that he could handle a group of thugs with ease. However, he was sad because Lin Feng's impulsiveness had directly offended Wolf Gang, and Dong Jie knew they wouldn't let this slide easily.
What surprised Lin Feng was that Li Zhong had not left yet and was helping him clean the tables. Of course, Lin Feng did not stop him; he was quite pleased to have such free labor.
As for whether Li Zhong had any ulterior motives, Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to guess; he believed that it wouldn't be long before Li Zhong spoke up about it himself.
Thus, the two worked together and quickly tidied up the tables and chairs.
Meanwhile, Heizi, who had been beaten up, was receiving treatment at a private hospital while reporting his situation over the phone.
"Sheng Ge, I've run into tough opposition. My brothers are healing at the hospital; do you think it's time to give them some money?" It was clear that Heizi wasn't calling someone from Wolf Gang but rather the person who had given him five thousand as a deposit to make things difficult for Dong Jie.
"Tough opposition? You got hurt too?" The person on the other end of the line seemed quite surprised by Heizi's situation. To him, Heizi alone should have been enough to deal with Dong Jie; he never expected there would be someone capable of defeating Heizi on Dong Jie's side.
"Yeah, about that money..." Heizi still had his mind on the ten thousand.
"You won't be shortchanged. Just remember to keep it confidential. Also, add another twenty thousand for you to let Wolf Gang's Young Master take care of your grievances." The person on the other end proposed another request.
"Young Master? That softie? Can he handle it?" Heizi looked down on Young Master.
"Haha... he can't handle it, but his father can." The person on the other end felt quite pleased with their plan.
"Oh, I understand now, Sheng Ge is clever." Heizi finally grasped what the person on the other end of the phone meant.
Huang Sheng, referred to as Sheng Ge by Heizi, is a guy who became a millionaire through smuggling. Since he makes a living this way, he naturally has some connections with the local bullies in City B, a mid-level city. Moreover, Heizi is one of his drinking buddies.
Huang Sheng has been coveting Dong Jie for quite some time. Unfortunately, Dong Jie is not the kind of woman who can be won over with money. Although she may seem frivolous, she is actually quite conservative; more importantly, she is very capable.
Huang Sheng needs someone like Dong Jie to assist him in both business and life, so he must have her, even if it means using some extreme methods. In fact, he has employed such "extreme methods" more than once and is quite familiar with them.
He would find a thug with some background to create trouble for the woman he desires, then he would appear to help her. If she feels grateful enough to offer herself in return for his assistance, then Huang Sheng would play the good guy and possess her under a positive image.
If the woman remains unmoved, Huang Sheng would resort to threats and temptations. Ultimately, he believes he can still win her over.
This so-called plan lacks any technical sophistication, yet Huang Sheng finds it enjoyable because he has never failed thus far.
Now, this plan is being applied to Dong Jie. Huang Sheng is confident that within a few days, Dong Jie will obediently submit.
Will reality unfold as he hopes?
If Lin Feng had not returned from rebirth, perhaps his expectations could come true. But since Lin Feng has indeed returned, the outcome becomes uncertain.
