The reason it feels strange is mainly because Chen Xinni came here for her own sake. Now, leaving her, who is powerless, here alone might lead to trouble!
Although Lin Feng doesn't have much interest in her, they are still classmates. It's one thing to bicker casually, but it would be quite unacceptable to ignore her in a time of need.
Having made up his mind, Lin Feng stood up and walked towards the group of thugs surrounding Chen Xinni.
From Lin Feng's perspective, he despised these guys. What was supposed to be a good opportunity to shake off Chen Xinni had been ruined by them. How could Lin Feng have any goodwill towards them?
Today, Scissors was particularly pleased. He had just received praise from the boss and, coming down from the bar's upper floor, spotted a beautiful girl dressed like a student at the bar. She looked like a regular patron, but Scissors actually liked that kind of girl.
So, he called over a few buddies and approached the beautiful girl, surrounding her with four or five people.
This was their usual tactic; they were familiar with the process.
The one they surrounded was naturally Chen Xinni.
Chen Xinni was not some innocent girl who had never been to a bar. At this moment, she wasn't going to hold back. She knew well that while the people in this bar weren't exactly good folks, they typically only resorted to minor harassment and wouldn't dare to escalate things too far. As long as she maintained her confidence, generally no one would dare to cross her.
However, if she showed any sign of weakness, she could expect to be taken advantage of by this group of thugs.
This was also why Lin Feng heard the sounds of an argument coming from the bar counter.
Unfortunately for Chen Xinni, today she encountered a small-time boss among the thugs who was riding high on success. When someone like that gets too confident, they can easily lose sight of their own limits.
Once someone becomes reckless, it's hard to predict what might happen.
For example, this guy with the scissors now has some twisted thoughts, wanting to trick Chen Xinni into a hotel and then book a room.
What would he do in that room? Everyone on this planet knows.
"Hey, little sister, heh heh... this drink has no kick. If you want to drink, go for something like this, high purity, that's the way to enjoy it. Don't worry, it's on me!" The guy with the scissors spoke to Chen Xinni in a typical rogue manner.
This person doesn't belong to the type who frequents bars for romance; those who do are usually polite gentlemen, high executives, or wealthy businessmen. At the very least, they are gold-collar workers. After all, boasting comes without a price tag.
However, considering that this guy with the scissors hasn't had much education and has become a small-time boss through flattery and shady dealings, you can't expect him to know much English or how to properly swirl a glass of red wine.
There are ways for both hunters and rogues when it comes to flirting. Surprisingly, some people actually prefer straightforward rogues like him over the polite suitors.
To each their own.
As for what the scissors guy introduced to Chen Xinni, it was a type of high-proof liquor found in bars. This drink doesn’t have a lingering effect but can easily get you tipsy right away. Because of this, it’s generally not ordered; only these low-level thugs drink it since they can have it for free.
In other words, this type of liquor is provided for those troublesome thugs who love drinking; it was never intended for regular customers.
This scissors guy is truly something else; he won't even spend money to impress a girl and recommends a drink that’s free. No wonder he boasts about treating her.
"Get lost! Don't try to force this kind of drink on me. You can't even afford a decent bottle of wine and still think you can hit on me?" Chen Xinni often visits bars and nightclubs; how could she not know the ins and outs? Using such drinks to entertain thugs has already become an unspoken rule in most bars in City B, a mid-level city.
"Damn it! When have I ever needed to spend money to pick up girls? Are you going to drink or not?" Seeing that soft tactics weren't working, the scissors guy had no choice but to take a harder approach.
Especially the last sentence from Chen Xinni, "I can't even afford a bottle of good wine," ignited his anger.
He was a thug, but he hated being called poor. Although, he was indeed quite poor.
Speaking of these thugs, Lin Feng didn't understand why they chose this path, knowing it had no future yet still indulging in it.
Every day they fought hard; if luck was against them, they could lose a limb at any moment, and they earned less than an average white-collar worker. Wouldn't it be better to put that effort into legitimate work?
Of course, they might enjoy the thrill of collecting protection fees and feeling powerful, but Lin Feng couldn't say for sure.
"Are you done? Get lost. You poor bastard." Chen Xinni had a natural disdain for the poor, especially when it came to annoying thugs like him; she was even less polite.
"Fuck you, say that again." Scissors was just a thug; how could he tolerate Chen Xinni's insults? To him, her calling him a poor bastard was an insult, and he raised his hand to strike.
"Ah..." Chen Xinni instinctively kicked Scissors in the groin and screamed after doing so.
There's a saying that goes "the thief cries out to catch the thief," and Chen Xinni's actions at that moment had a hint of that flavor.
Hit in his most sensitive spot, Scissors immediately crouched down, unable to straighten up while clutching the injured area.
Men are actually quite vulnerable.
"Fuck, boss, are you okay?" The other thugs nearby finally reacted and hurriedly helped Scissors up.
Scissors' lips turned pale; any man who got kicked there would lose color in his face.
"Let me hit her." Finally, Scissors regained some strength and shouted at Chen Xinni.
He had no compassion for her; that thing might be useless in the future, so why bother being gentle?
Seeing their leader speak, the group of thugs naturally rolled up their sleeves and prepared to attack Chen Xinni.
Low-level thugs are just that—low-level. A few of them ganging up on a girl without feeling ashamed at all.
At this moment, Chen Xinni finally felt fear. With a scream, she curled up on the ground, ready to take the beating.
However, there was nowhere for her to escape; the surroundings were surrounded by thugs. Where could she run?
Lin Feng had been watching from the side and would not let them actually hit Chen Xinni. As soon as they made their move, Lin Feng quickly kicked each thug in the stomach, a habit he hadn't changed.
Looking at Chen Xinni still curled up on the ground, Lin Feng found it somewhat amusing. It seemed that when he taught her thug boyfriend a lesson before, he used the same tactic. Who would have thought that today he would use it to save her? Life is unpredictable.
Ignoring the thugs writhing on the ground, Lin Feng squatted down and lightly tapped on Chen Xinni's head a few times. Just as he was about to tease her as a punishment for stalking him, Chen Xinni suddenly shouted, "Lin Feng, help me! Lin Feng! ... Help me!"
Hearing her sudden shout, Lin Feng was taken aback. She hadn't even lifted her head; how did she know he was there?
But upon closer inspection, Chen Xinni remained curled up, indicating that she knew she wasn't safe at that moment.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng understood. The girl wasn't stupid; she knew Lin Feng was in the bar and hoped that by shouting loudly, she could attract his attention and have him come to save her.
As for Lin Feng's fighting skills, Chen Xinni simply overlooked that—having one more person was better than being alone.
"I said, how long are you planning to keep your head down?" Lin Feng found it amusing and decided not to tease her anymore.
Chen Xinni finally dared to lift her head. Upon seeing Lin Feng's smiling face, she cheered and threw herself into his arms.
Lin Feng was taken aback by her sudden action; what was going on?
"I knew you would come to save me, Lin Feng. You're so nice." Chen Xinni's next words left Lin Feng speechless; it turned out this girl had caused trouble with those thugs just to draw him out.
Lin Feng couldn't help but reflect on himself. Was he too kind? Why did these women seem to think they could rely on him so easily? Liu Jing was one thing; she was in a bad mood, and he had seen her embarrassing photos before. But why did Chen Xinni feel so entitled?
Although Lin Feng felt that Chen Xinni's body was soft and it was quite comfortable holding her, he quickly removed his hands from around her neck when he recalled the rumors about her.
Subconsciously, Lin Feng felt a strong aversion towards a woman like Chen Xinni, who was rumored to casually switch boyfriends.
Chen Xinni didn't understand why Lin Feng walked away, but she followed him nonetheless.
After finally finding Lin Feng, how could she possibly give up?
Lin Feng didn't leave the bar; instead, he went to look for Liu Jing.
To his surprise, a few thugs were surrounding Liu Jing as well. Had thugs learned how to pick up girls these days?
Moreover, the leader of the thugs was dressed quite well, indicating he had some status.
However, no matter how much status he had, in Lin Feng's eyes, he was no different from a pile of garbage.
As Liu Jing was getting slightly drunk and continuously drinking, what else could this person be but trash?
“Liu Jing, let’s go, it’s getting late.” Lin Feng ignored the Ruffian Leader and helped Liu Jing up.
“No, I haven’t had enough to drink yet. Lin Feng, will you stay and drink with me?” At that moment, Liu Jing was poured another bottle of beer by the Ruffian Leader and became even more intoxicated, starting to slur her words.
“Alright, when we get home, I’ll drink with you until you’re satisfied.” Lin Feng could only go along with Liu Jing’s words. Otherwise, if she started acting out due to the alcohol, he would have no choice but to knock her out and carry her away. But if that happened, Liu Jing would definitely have a terrible headache when she woke up the next day.
Getting knocked out after drinking leads to blood not reaching the brain in time, so a headache the next day was inevitable.
“Hey brother, meeting is fate; why don’t you sit down and have a few drinks with us? It’s on me, no need to be polite.” Seeing that Lin Feng wanted to take the beautiful Liu Jing away, the Ruffian Leader was unwilling. Unlike scissors, he smiled and insisted on treating Lin Feng to drinks.
“Drink this?” Lin Feng raised the beer bottle and asked.
“Yes, you can order whatever you want.” The ruffian leader thought Lin Feng was tempted and continued speaking; he really didn’t care about spending a little money on drinks.
“I’d rather drink your mother…” Lin Feng, already annoyed, saw that he was still trying to cling on. He decisively brought the beer bottle down onto the ruffian's head.
