Chapter 48: Cannot Back Down
Liu, who was watching from the side, saw this and immediately started shrieking, "Look, everyone, look! It’s only been one day and a night, and both the old lecher and the young one have crawled out of the woodwork. Truly impressive!"
Hu Feng frowned, his cold gaze sweeping over to Liu. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are this ’old lecher and young one’ you’re talking about? Say it again, and be clear about it."
The moment Liu met that sinister gaze, her body couldn’t help but tremble. Her scalp began to go numb with fear. There were many things she wanted to say, but now she didn’t dare let a single word slip out.
Bai Dazhu glared at Hu Feng. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you come to my Bai Family’s home to cause trouble?"
Hu Feng retracted his gaze from Liu, and his cold eyes fell upon Bai Dazhu. The harshness in his look was obvious, and even a burly man like Bai Dazhu couldn’t help the tremor of fear in his heart.
"And who the hell do you think you are? You dared to go to my Hu Family’s home to cause trouble, and you even injured my father. Tell me, which hand did you use to hit him?"
Bai Dazhu hadn’t even been hit yet, but he could already feel a phantom pain in his arm...
He involuntarily took a step back, but his mouth was still tough. "Y-you, what does it matter to you which hand I used? Your father is shameless, refusing to let go of Zhao Lan. So what if I hit him? If he hadn’t done such a filthy thing, would I have attacked him for no reason?"
Bai Dazhu was filled with regret. When he’d hit Hu Changlin, he hadn’t thought it through. A fit of rage had overcome him, and he couldn’t have cared less about the consequences. Thinking about it now, he had been far too impulsive. Hu Feng was not someone to be trifled with. He’d heard Hu Feng even knew martial arts and could kill an ox with a single punch... He didn’t know if it was true or not...
The moment Bai Zhi heard Bai Dazhu, she was so angry it felt like her head would split open. She rushed forward and pointed at him. "That’s bullshit! Yesterday, you Bai family members broke my mother’s arm, and our house was blown down by the wind! It was pouring rain outside, my mother and I were covered in injuries, and you people shut the main gate on us! We had no other choice! On the village chief’s advice, we stayed in Uncle Hu’s cabin for the night! The whole village knows this, how could you not know? You people are filthy yourselves, do you think everyone is just like you?"
Old Mrs. Bai was beside herself with rage. She pointed a trembling finger at Bai Zhi and shrieked, "You little slut, what nonsense are you spouting? Who are you calling filthy? Say that again, I dare you!"
Hu Feng had no patience to engage in a war of words with them. His eyes remained coldly fixed on Bai Dazhu. "I’ll ask you one more time. Which hand did you use to hit my father?"
Bai Dazhu’s heart was pounding with fear, but in front of so many villagers, he refused to back down. He stubbornly stuck his neck out and said, "I used both hands. What are you going to do about it?"
The words had barely left Bai Dazhu’s mouth when Hu Feng’s figure flashed in front of him. Before Bai Dazhu could even react, there was a sharp CRACK. He felt a piercing pain shoot through his right arm, followed by his left, which hurt even more.
Everyone was stunned. Hu Feng had actually, brutally, broken both of Bai Dazhu’s arms.
Old Mrs. Bai and Liu charged forward like madwomen, ready to fight Hu Feng to the death. But they were no match for him. He sent them sprawling to the ground with little more than a flick of his finger.
Bai Zhi found it immensely satisfying. Even Ms. Zhang, who had retreated to the side with Bai Erzhu, felt a secret thrill of pleasure watching the scene unfold.
Old Mrs. Bai simply plopped down on the ground and refused to get up. She began to wail, and all sorts of vile curses started pouring from her mouth—words so foul that even the sharp-tongued women outside the courtyard, known for their own vicious gossip, couldn’t help but frown.
"The village chief is here! Make way."
