Whiskey is a strong liquor. After downing several glasses in succession, Su Zi quickly got tipsy. She giggled and playfully scolded Lin Feng from time to time, clinging to him and acting as if she'd completely lost her inhibitions. This made Tang Rou's glances toward Lin Feng increasingly peculiar.

I have to get Su Zi back to rest as soon as possible, Lin Feng thought, feeling a headache coming on. She's completely drunk. He didn't know how to explain his relationship with Su Zi. Although she was drunk, she hadn't mistaken him; she was still mumbling his name incoherently.

Luckily, Tang Rou didn't say anything. She just gave a faint nod and a sweet smile to Lin Feng, then helped Su Zi up from the other side, and the three of them walked out together.

Lin Feng called Yang Ming, telling him to drive straight back to the school upon his return. After saying goodbye to Xie Nan, he left the Fenghuo Bar.

Xie Nan had wanted to offer Lin Feng a ride, but seeing Brother Feng leaving with two stunning beauties, he thought it might be awkward. Worried he might disrupt Lin Feng's efforts with the ladies, he didn't follow them out.

The bar was bustling, so Lin Feng didn't want to bother Xie Nan for a ride. He decided to take a cab instead.

On a weekend night, cabs were challenging to find, especially near the bar, which was located on a busy snack street. Many taxis were hailed at the entrance before they could even turn onto the street.

Mid-autumn evenings in Jiangzhou City were starting to get chilly. As a gust of cold wind blew, Lin Feng could feel Su Zi, who was wearing only a thin chiffon blouse, shiver.

This silly girl… Lin Feng couldn't help but grumble internally about Su Zi. He then cast a concerned glance at Tang Rou. She had added a small white blazer over her low U-neck top. The outfit was elegant, dignified, and quite warm.

My Little Rou really knows how to take care of herself! Lin Feng smiled faintly, a note of admiration in his voice as he praised Tang Rou.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's praise, Tang Rou just stole a glance at him and smiled softly, without saying a word.

Lin Feng didn't notice that Su Zi, who had seemed 'delirious' from drunkenness, showed a fleeting expression of defiance when she heard his words. The next second, Su Zi swayed and leaned into Lin Feng, half-resting against him, seeking warmth.

Tang Rou looked somewhat surprised by Su Zi's actions. She paused for a moment and was about to take off her own blazer to put it over Su Zi.

"Don't... silly girl, you're dressed more lightly than her underneath; you'll catch a cold!" Lin Feng shook his head, stopping Tang Rou. Pointing down the road, he said, "The taxi's almost here!"

Tang Rou followed the direction Lin Feng indicated and indeed saw a blue taxi slowly approaching. As Lin Feng flagged it down, the car's yellow blinkers flashed, and it began to pull over slowly. So, she abandoned the idea of giving her blazer to Su Zi.

The taxi finally stopped. The driver was an honest-looking man in his forties, somewhat thin and tan. After glancing curiously at Su Zi and Tang Rou beside Lin Feng, his eyes couldn't help but light up with amazement. These two girls are absolute stunners!

Lin Feng bent down and pulled open the rear passenger door, about to help Su Zi in first. Suddenly, a figure flashed past him, and a long-haired man ducked into the car.

"Brother Dao, Brother Ming, Little Worm, hurry! There's a taxi!" The long-haired man who had squeezed in didn't even look at Lin Feng. Instead, he waved excitedly to those behind Lin Feng and shouted.

Lin Feng frowned. Is this guy looking for death? I waited over ten minutes for this taxi, and this blind fool comes along to snatch it?

Hearing the man in the car calling out, Lin Feng glanced in the direction he was looking. He saw three thugs walking over, all wearing black sleeveless sports shirts, casually carrying their jackets, their hair a mess of dye.

"Damn, Long Hair, you've got some skills! Snagged a taxi right after stepping out... Not bad, not bad, you're improving!" Among the three approaching thugs, their leader, a man with a beer belly, laughed and commended Long Hair. "Clear Water Bar was boring. We should go to a more high-end place, find some young girls, and have some real fun! Haha…"

"A high-end place?" Long Hair exclaimed dramatically. "Brother Dao, the girls there aren't cheap! Two grand a night… Are you treating?"

Brother Dao patted his beer belly, shook his head, and chuckled. "Treat my ass! If the bosses there dare to charge me, are they looking for death? We're not to be trifled with… Hey, you brat, why haven't you moved yet? You looking to die?"

The latter part of Brother Dao's sentence was a roar, aimed directly at Lin Feng, who was still standing by the taxi. Brother Dao knew Long Hair had snatched Lin Feng's cab but didn't think much of it. If Brother Dao was provoked, holding a knife to the driver's throat and hijacking the car—passengers and all—wouldn't be out of character for him. So, what was snatching a ride from a passenger in comparison?

When Long Hair heard Brother Dao's roar, he also turned to look at Lin Feng. As he did, he got a clear view of Su Zi and Tang Rou. Under the dim yellow streetlight, the two women looked like celestial beauties. Whether it was the bewitching Su Zi or the pure and gentle Tang Rou, the sight made Long Hair, who had rarely seen such genuine beauties, practically drool.

"Brother Dao, look! These two chicks, they're gorgeous!" Long Hair blurted out, calling to Brother Dao.

"Tch, this street's a backwater. What real beauties could there be…" Brother Dao initially sounded dismissive at Long Hair's exclamation. But as he got closer and saw Tang Rou and Su Zi clearly, his jaw nearly dropped. "Damn… They really are top-tier!"

Only then did Brother Dao seriously size up Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng's youthful face—he looked to be only around twenty—Brother Dao gave a lewd smirk. "Hey, kid, who are these two girls to you?"

"So hot! Brother Ming, if these were at one of those high-end places, they'd go for at least eight grand a night, right?" a yellow-haired lackey following Brother Dao asked, his tone thick with envy and resentment after glancing at Tang Rou and Su Zi.

"Bullshit! Little Worm, are you blind? If those places had girls of this caliber, they'd have been a massive hit long ago!" the last thug, a skinny guy, shook his head and said confidently.

Lin Feng was already seething. If Tang Rou hadn't been anxiously tugging at his arm, he probably would have lashed out by now. These bastards are unbelievably arrogant!

Ignoring that damn Brother Dao's question entirely, Lin Feng shot a cold glare at Long Hair, who was still in the car, and said flatly, "Get out of the car. Now. You have two seconds!"
