Without even looking at Liang San lying on the ground, Lin Feng, smiling, drew back his foot and picked up the steel pipe Liang San had dropped. His gaze fell on Wu Shun. He revealed his neat, white teeth and asked lightly, "Wu Shun from the Flying Leopard Club, right? Did your Boss survive his fall from the cliff?"
Hearing Lin Feng's nonchalant question, Wu Shun, still reeling from shock, couldn't help but feel a chill creep up from the depths of his heart. His face wore the expression of someone who had seen a ghost, and he reflexively retorted, "How... how did you know our Boss fell from the cliff?"
Hardly anyone knew about Duan Feibao's fall from the cliff, as Zhang Fang had deliberately kept it a secret. Wu Shun only found out because Zhang Fang had organized a rescue mission the previous night. Wu Shun had personally helped rescue the badly injured Duan Feibao and transport him to the hospital.
But how did Lin Feng know?
Duan Feibao had tried to frame Lin Feng but ended up losing control of his car and falling off the cliff. How could Lin Feng not know?
"Is Duan Feibao dead?" Lin Feng asked cheerfully. He hadn't expected Wu Shun to be a member of the Flying Leopard Club. And, as ill luck would have it, this fellow had harassed Cao Ying, thus walking right into Lin Feng's path. Given the situation, Lin Feng thought it might be amusing to scare him.
"Our Boss... is still alive. What... what exactly is your deal?" Wu Shun was uncertain about Lin Feng's identity, and his mind began to fill with suspicion.
"I'm quite familiar with both Duan Feibao and Zhang Fang. What do you think my deal is?" Lin Feng responded, casually swinging the steel pipe in his right hand and tapping it against his left palm, all the while keeping his smiling eyes fixed on Wu Shun. Now that he was armed, Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry to break out. He was confident he could protect Cao Ying from harm. If he tried to force a breakout, however, he would expose his back—a critical vulnerability—making things unpredictable.
Cao Ying wasn't idle either. Using Lin Feng's body to shield her, she quietly dialed Xie Nan's number, which she had obtained from him recently when they exchanged numbers at the booth.
"You know Brother Fang?!" Wu Shun was now truly in a bind. If Lin Feng only had connections with Duan Feibao, Wu Shun could still disregard it. After all, to put it bluntly, the Flying Leopard Club now had little to do with the grievously injured Duan Feibao; Zhang Fang was the one truly in charge. But Lin Feng claimed to know Zhang Fang as well, which naturally made Wu Shun hesitant. If Lin Feng really had ties to their current leader, it wouldn't be wise to attack him. They'd have to find another way to resolve the grudge.
"Zhang Fang won a million off me just yesterday! Do you think I know him or not?" Lin Feng blurted out, spinning a tale. He knew Cao Ying was secretly making a call and wanted to buy her some time.
A million... That's a huge sum! If this kid is telling the truth, then even if he doesn't have a close relationship with Brother Fang, he's a big spender. If we rough him up now, we'll definitely lose his business in the future! Wu Shun mulled it over and decided he needed to call Zhang Fang to confirm the situation.
"Your... what's your name?" Only as he was about to dial did Wu Shun realize he didn't actually know who Lin Feng was.
"My name is Song Cai," Lin Feng answered with a faint smile, casually borrowing the name of the unfortunate young master of the Song Family.
Wu Shun made the call. Before he could even finish explaining what had happened, merely mentioning that a formidable guy calling himself Song Cai had appeared, Zhang Fang's furious voice boomed through the phone, "I didn't win a million off anyone last night! That man is definitely not Song Cai! Nor is he my friend!"
The entire call lasted less than twenty seconds.
"Fuck, he dared to trick me!" Wu Shun clenched his phone, glaring at the still-smiling Lin Feng. Uncontainable rage surged within him. Pointing at Lin Feng, he roared, "Get him, everyone! Teach him a harsh lesson!"
The already restless members of the Flying Leopard Club, unable to hold back any longer, howled excitedly, brandishing their weapons as they charged. Over thirty men surrounded Lin Feng and Cao Ying, letting out strange yells.
"This kid's got skills, but there are so many of us. Let's see how many he can handle…"
"After we're done with him, the girl is ours. Wonder how many of us she can handle! Haha!"
"That idiot Liang San, I don't even want to talk about him. So many of us, and he tried to fight one-on-one? Isn't that asking for death?"
…
"A bunch of scum!" Hearing the taunts of these punks, Lin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly. He held the steel pipe in his right hand and protected Cao Ying with his left, cautiously retreating towards an SUV parked by the roadside.
"Sister Cao, stay here and don't move. Wait for me!" Lin Feng whispered. The next instant, his figure blurred into a black shadow, rushing towards the thirty-odd members of the Flying Leopard Club.
"Lin Feng…" Cao Ying cried out in worry when she saw him charge forward. Afraid of distracting him, she instinctively covered her mouth, watching his movements in terror.
BAM! BAM! BAM! Enraged, Lin Feng held nothing back. His figure weaved through the crowd with extreme speed, the steel pipe in his hand a blur as it repeatedly struck the thugs, producing a series of dull thuds. The remaining thugs watched, dumbfounded. If it weren't for the people around them continuously screaming and falling, they would have thought they were watching a martial arts film being shot!
In less than ten seconds, more than half of the thirty-odd thugs were on the ground, howling in pain. Those still standing didn't dare approach. Trembling, they retreated more than ten meters, watching Lin Feng in terror. They clearly saw that the steel pipe in Lin Feng's hand had begun to visibly deform.
The scene was indescribably terrifying. A few of the more timid ones had already quietly started their motorcycles and slipped away.
My God, who have I messed with? How can such a monster exist? Wu Shun, still miraculously unharmed while hiding behind his men, was consumed by regret. He had assumed Lin Feng was only slightly stronger than an average person, which was why he had summoned over thirty of his men to deal with him. He never imagined Lin Feng could take them all down single-handedly!
"Brother Feng! Are you okay?!"
"Damn it! Those bastards from the Flying Leopard Club dare to cause trouble on our street? They're asking for death!"
"Brothers of the Loyalty Gang, let's get them! Cripple every last one of these Flying Leopard Club scumbags!"
While Wu Shun was still at a loss for how to handle the situation, over a dozen members of the Loyalty Gang suddenly charged out from the Fenghuo Bar. Each wielded a baseball bat, pipe, or similar weapon, yelling as they rushed forward.
It turned out Xie Nan had received Cao Ying's call but hadn't heard her speak, only the sounds of fighting. Guessing Lin Feng had been cornered, he had brought his men out.
"Retreat, everyone retreat!" Seeing Xie Nan lead the charge, Wu Shun's last shred of composure shattered. He cried out and was the first to scramble onto a motorcycle, attempting to flee.
The other thugs who could still move also struggled to their feet, trying to get on their bikes and escape.
"Ah Dong, take a few guys in my car and chase them down! Don't let a single one get away!" Xie Nan ordered his driver, Ah Dong, upon seeing the Flying Leopard Club members trying to run.
Lin Feng had taken several blows and his body ached all over. Though his sturdy physique prevented serious injury, he was still in considerable pain. However, when he saw Wu Shun trying to escape, a surge of anger filled him. Pushing through the pain, he charged forward and, with a heavy swing of the steel pipe from behind, knocked Wu Shun off his motorcycle!
"Boss, spare me…" Knocked from his motorcycle, Wu Shun immediately clutched his bald head, wailing and begging for mercy.
