Not only did Lin Feng intend to cancel Li Huijin's VIP card, but he also planned to have her thrown out and blacklisted. Furthermore, he would erase all her consumption records to prevent her from causing trouble. After all, without any purchase records, what could she even complain about?

This was a blatant case of a powerful shop owner bullying a customer, an act so overbearing it left people speechless.

However, Cao Ying found Lin Feng's overbearing approach extremely satisfying. She shot Lin Feng a glance filled with obvious admiration, as if secretly praising him, Well done!

Xie Hong, Cai Xiaobao, and Ma Enhua were all silent. Though they felt Lin Feng's approach was a bit excessive—after all, one doesn't typically drive customers away when doing business—they also thought Li Huijin was so utterly foolish that any treatment she received seemed justified. She warranted no sympathy.

Li Huijin, shaking with anger, pointed at Lin Feng and stuttered, "You, you dare! I'll remember this…"

"What's there to dare or not dare?!" Xie Nan shook his head, signaling two burly cleaning ladies over. He pointed at Li Huijin. "This guest is disturbing the others. Please escort her out. Also, her VIP card might be fake. Remember to retrieve it."

The cleaning ladies approached Li Huijin without a word. While she was still in shock, one of them snatched the VIP card from her hand. Then, one on each side, they seized Li Huijin by her arms and dragged her away like guards escorting a prisoner.

"Have you all gone mad? How dare you treat me this way? I am a VIP! Do you know who my boyfriend is?" Li Huijin kept shouting. After being dragged for a few steps and noticing Cai Xiaobao's indifference, she finally cried out in panic, "Xiaobao, help me! They're assaulting me… Mmph! Mmph!…"

Cai Xiaobao made no move. The cleaning ladies, however, found Li Huijin far too noisy and one of them deftly stuffed the cleaning rag she had just used to wipe a table into Li Huijin's mouth, muffling her screams.

The moment Li Huijin's mouth was gagged, peace was restored. However, Cai Xiaobao's expression darkened. Regardless of how he viewed Li Huijin, it was still shameful for him, as a man, to have the woman he brought be dragged out in such a manner.

"Isn't this going too far?!" Cai Xiaobao shot a glance at Lin Feng and Xie Nan, stating coolly, "No matter what, she's the woman I brought. Treating her so disrespectfully doesn't reflect well on me, does it?"

"Ah, you have a point. I almost forgot… that woman was brought by you…" Lin Feng lightly patted his forehead, stood up, walked over to Cai Xiaobao, and CRACK!—slapped him across the face.

"You!" Cai Xiaobao clutched his stinging cheek, staring at Lin Feng in panicked disbelief. "You… you dare hit me?!"

Lin Feng hadn't used much force in the slap; it was purely to humiliate Cai Xiaobao.

"So what if I hit you? Didn't you say that crazy woman was brought by you and that you're responsible for her? When she was spouting all that nonsense just now, why the hell didn't you stop her? What's with this act now? You wanted to take responsibility, right? I found that crazy woman an eyesore and have been wanting to hit someone for a while. Seeing as you're built pretty sturdily, you can take the punishment on her behalf!" Lin Feng declared, rolling up his sleeves with a solemn expression.

"Don't mess around! My father is Cai Xin, a major shareholder of Guanghui Group and the Chairman of the Nanjiang District Chamber of Commerce. If you still want to do business in Nanjiang District, you'd better not be so arrogant!" Cai Xiaobao finally panicked, invoking his father's name in an attempt to intimidate Lin Feng.

The Nanjiang District Chamber of Commerce was a semi-public, semi-private organization. As its chairman, Cai Xin was indeed a notable figure. Typically, such alliances of unscrupulous merchants struggled to achieve anything significant in legitimate business, but they excelled at causing trouble and tripping others up.

"Cai Xin? What's that, bok choy? I'm a carrot for all I care!" Lin Feng couldn't care less about Cai Xiaobao's status. This guy had dared to let his woman continuously slander Cao Ying. Lin Feng wouldn't feel satisfied without teaching him a lesson.

He delivered a "gentle" kick to Cai Xiaobao's stomach, sending him sprawling onto a leather chair. Lin Feng then said nonchalantly, "If I want to do business legitimately, anyone in Nanjiang District, or even the entirety of Jiangzhou, who dares to deliberately obstruct me—I can turn them to dust. Believe it or not? You little punk, remember to keep a low profile and don't bring trouble upon your family!"

Cai Xiaobao, coddled and pampered his whole life, felt waves of bone-deep pain from Lin Feng's kick, even though it hadn't been delivered with much force. Having never endured such agony, he was consumed by fury. His earlier composure vanished. He laughed maniacally at Lin Feng, "You fucking kill me if you dare! Otherwise, this shitty bar of yours is doomed! My dad will definitely not let you off!"

Humph, I'll be waiting… Lin Feng retracted his hand after the slap and kick. After all, this fellow was taking the punishment on behalf of another, so it wouldn't be right to beat him too harshly. As for Cai Xiaobao's threat, Lin Feng was actually curious to see what means Cai Xin possessed to make him close down his bar. It wasn't that he was looking for trouble; he simply didn't believe Cai Xin could pull it off.

Xie Hong's face was grim as he watched Cai Xiaobao get beaten. He glanced at Lin Feng, then at Ma Enhua, and finally couldn't resist leaning over to Ma Enhua to whisper, "Young Master Ma, do me a favor and give me the lowdown. Who exactly are this Lin Feng and that woman?"

Ma Enhua's face remained calm, but inwardly he was seething at Cai Xiaobao's behavior. That damn idiot! I, his elder, gave such obvious hints, and he still had to go looking for death by provoking Lin Feng! Even I, the son of the Director of the Construction Bureau, was forced by my old man to bow my head and apologize after Lin Feng thrashed me! What does the son of a mere Chamber of Commerce Chairman count for? He's truly digging his own grave!

However, Xie Hong seemed somewhat perceptive. Ma Enhua glanced at him and said coolly, "If I were you, I'd leave immediately and never associate with that Cai fellow again. He's finished…"

Ma Enhua hadn't intentionally lowered his voice, and his words sent a shiver down Xie Hong's spine. Xie Hong scanned the scene: Lin Feng was acting with utter impunity, Xie Nan looked eager for action, and Cao Ying remained elegantly seated on the leather sofa, sipping her beer…

Something's not right, absolutely not right! These three, even after learning about Cai Xiaobao's powerful family background, whether they acted arrogantly or remained calm, had one thing in common: they showed no fear whatsoever! They didn't give a damn about any so-called Chamber of Commerce chairman! Xie Hong finally understood. Without another word, he bowed slightly to Lin Feng in apology, then turned and scurried away, completely ignoring the unfortunate Cai Xiaobao.

"Ma Enhua, you're fucking bluffing!" Cai Xiaobao, hearing Ma Enhua's words, remained defiantly arrogant. "So your father's impressive, young and accomplished, becoming a department-level director in his early forties. So what? Can he really touch my Cai family? Only a coward like Xie Hong would be scared by you!"

Ma Enhua gazed deeply at Cai Xiaobao, then glanced at Cao Ying, who was still sitting silently on the sofa. He shook his head, his tone complex, "Cai Xiaobao, you truly have no idea what it means to court death…"

In front of Cao Tiannan, my father wouldn't dare claim to be young and accomplished! Ma Enhua silently swallowed the latter half of this thought.

"Still trying to threaten me? Are you trying to tell me Lin Feng is some underworld boss? Or the son of your father's superior?" Cai Xiaobao regarded Ma Enhua's vague pronouncements with contempt, questioning him smugly, "Or perhaps you're going to tell me that woman, Cao Ying, is Mayor Cao's precious daughter?!"

Hearing Cai Xiaobao unintentionally hit upon her father's identity, Cao Ying finally spoke, "It's rather embarrassing, but yes, my father is indeed Cao Tiannan."
