On the outskirts of University City in Nanjiang District, at the Fenghuo Internet Cafe.

It was past ten o'clock at night, the prime time for the bar. The not-so-large space was brimming with young men and women seeking pleasure, attempting to play out their alcohol-infused romantic fantasies. The scene was vibrant and bustling.

In one of the private rooms deep inside the bar, Xie Nan was sitting on the sofa, smoking. He was in front of a giant silver suitcase, his face a bit gloomy.

"Brother Nan, what on earth would he need so much cash for in the middle of the night?" Pan Lizheng sat next to Xie Nan, looking worried. "He not only cleared the bar's cash flow, but also made us borrow 800,000 Yuan from Jin Dali. Jin Dali is backed by the Axe Gang. Lin Feng, he…"

"I told you, call him Brother Feng!" Xie Nan coldly interrupted Pan Lizheng, his tone a warning. "Don't let me hear you calling Brother Feng by his name again!"

"Alright, alright... Brother Nan, please calm down! I know Brother Feng saved my aunt before, and I respect him a lot. I'm just curious!" Pan Lizheng said, forcing a smile.

"Mind your own business. Don't speak of things that don't concern you!" Xie Nan reprimanded Pan Lizheng, clearly dissatisfied. But remembering Pan Lizheng's significant contributions to establishing Fenghuo Bar and the Loyalty Gang, he added, "Anyway, the money was requested in my name, so I'll take responsibility!"

With Xie Nan saying this, Pan Lizheng had nothing more to say. He didn't know the position Lin Feng held in Xie Nan's heart. He initially wanted to warn Xie Nan about Lin Feng potentially not repaying the loan, but now it seemed unnecessary.

"Brother Nan, Brother Feng is here..." One of their subordinates suddenly pushed the door open, leading a young man and woman inside.

The man was handsome, and the woman beautiful. It was a refreshed Lin Feng and Tang Rou, who had a faint flush of passion on her face.

Seeing Lin Feng had arrived, Pan Lizheng realized he likely wanted to speak privately with Xie Nan. So, after nodding to Lin Feng, he didn't dare look at Tang Rou any longer and walked out of the room with the subordinate who had led them in.

"Brother Feng!" Xie Nan jumped up from the sofa and pulled Lin Feng to sit down. Seeing Tang Rou, he smiled naturally and said, "This must be sister-in-law, right?"

At Xie Nan's words, Tang Rou blushed. Even though she was already Lin Feng's woman, no one had ever called her sister-in-law to her face. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

"It's like we've been married for over a decade, wouldn't you say…" Lin Feng joked casually.

"It hasn't been over a decade..." Tang Rou shook her head subconsciously. Married for over ten years? Wouldn't that make me seem old?

"Tang Rou, this is A'nan, the big boss I've told you about," Lin Feng laughed, introducing them. "This is Tang Rou. A'nan, you can call her sister-in-law if you like."

At Lin Feng's remark, Tang Rou's face turned even redder.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" After politely greeting Tang Rou, Xie Nan turned to Lin Feng and pointed at the silver suitcase on the table. "Brother Feng, the cash is ready. You can count it if you want!"

"No need. I trust you to handle things!" Lin Feng glanced at the time on his phone and said to Xie Nan, "I have to take Tang Rou home soon, so we should get going!"

Seeing Lin Feng's travel-worn appearance, Xie Nan curiously asked, "Brother Feng, did you and sister-in-law come from far away? Why are you so sweaty?"

As soon as Xie Nan's question left his mouth, Tang Rou's face burned. She bowed her head, not daring to look up.

Upon hearing Xie Nan's question, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. A'nan, A'nan, you really know how to pick the most awkward topics! Tang Rou and I didn't travel far; we just did some... unmentionable exercises, which were much more exhausting than walking...

But of course, he couldn't say that aloud.

"Actually, we just came back from Gyro Mountain. We saw a car race there and stopped to watch the excitement. We came back to get some capital, preparing to go make a big splash!" Lin Feng half-truthfully explained to Xie Nan.

"Underground car racing at Gyro Mountain! Isn't that the Flying Leopard Club's turf? Brother Feng, are you going to race?" Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xie Nan's expression changed dramatically; he clearly knew some inside information.

"Yeah. Is there a problem?" Lin Feng asked nonchalantly.

Xie Nan glanced at Tang Rou, then leaned close to Lin Feng's ear and whispered, "The boss of the Flying Leopard Club, Duan Feibao, is known in the streets as Brother Leopard. He's notorious for being cruel and ruthless. He drives a modified Hummer and often uses races as an opportunity to send opponents he dislikes off the cliffs. Gyro Mountain's terrain is treacherous. Just last month, three sports cars went off the cliffs—two dead, one crippled. It's rumored the Flying Leopard Club was behind it all! If you run into anyone from the Flying Leopard Club, be careful."

"Got it," Lin Feng said calmly, taking Xie Nan's warning to heart.

Carrying the suitcase, Lin Feng left the bar with Tang Rou, got into the car, and prepared to take her back to the Qingshan residential area.

Tang Rou had initially decided to spend the whole night with Lin Feng. However, Tang Zhendong suddenly called, saying he was at their home in the Qingshan residential area and asking when she would be back...

Thank goodness he called after we were finished. Otherwise, my future father-in-law would have completely killed the mood... Remembering Tang Rou nervously answering the phone before she had even dressed, Lin Feng felt a lingering fear. He decided to learn from this and remember to turn off his phone during... important business in the future.

Lin Feng finally parked the car smoothly in front of the Tang family's villa and walked Tang Rou to her doorstep.

Glancing at the brightly lit villa, Lin Feng felt a bit resentful and couldn't help grumbling internally about his future father-in-law, Tang Zhendong. Uncle Tang, you old folks can't be this lazy! Even though it's the National Day holiday, if you don't work overtime, how can you demonstrate your 'old but still vigorous and a pillar of society' spirit!

"Lin Feng, be careful!" Tang Rou suddenly hugged Lin Feng gently and whispered.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Lin Feng knew Tang Rou was worried. Looking at the delicate, shy girl before him, he felt waves of emotion. Tang Rou was incredibly gentle. She wouldn't stop him from doing what he had to do, but her heart was always full of concern for him.

Just as Lin Feng was basking in the tender moment, he suddenly heard two deep barks: "WOOF! WOOF!" Mao Mao, the family's large wolf-dog, had made a very inopportune appearance. It wasn't very familiar with Lin Feng yet and barked fiercely at him, instantly shattering the budding romantic atmosphere!

"Mao Mao! Stop barking! Go back and lie down!" Tang Rou, exasperated, stepped in front of Lin Feng and scolded the wolf-dog.

The wolf-dog was especially energetic at night. Lin Feng saw that Tang Rou was struggling to control Mao Mao, and the dog looked like it was about to pounce. Annoyed, Lin Feng glared fiercely at the large dog.

"AWOO..." The large dog, startled by Lin Feng's imposing aura, yelped and then fled in a panic, leaving a trail of urine as it scrambled away.

What a cowardly bully, that stupid dog! Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing at the dog's quick, urine-soaked retreat.
