Chapter 1243 - 1247: Reckless
"What about the Mayor’s Wife?" Cao Ying snorted slightly in dissatisfaction, "I’m also a direct blood relative of Mayor Cao, and you only listen to her without heeding my words? Hmph, if you head back right now, I might spare a bit of your dignity. But if you act unreasonably, don’t blame me for being discourteous!"
Chen Wei was both tearful and amused, but of course, he didn’t take Cao Ying’s threat seriously. Although being complained about by Cao Ying might cause some minor trouble, he believed that reporting the night’s events to the Security Bureau would have the leaders understand their predicament. After all, no one could allow Mayor Cao’s daughter to remain in a bar overnight with an unknown man!
Even if it violated protocol, logically speaking, he hadn’t done anything wrong! Chen Wei convinced himself of this, then looked seriously at Cao Ying and said, "Miss, if you decide to complain about us later, we’ll accept it! But for now, to avoid worrying Mayor Cao and the Mayor’s Wife, please return home with us..."
Saying this, Chen Wei glanced at Lin Feng with a meaningful smile, "If they knew you appeared in such a complex venue and stayed in a room with a dubious stranger, they would undoubtedly be worried!"
Cao Ying was slightly stunned, then squinted angrily and snorted, annoyed, "Chen Wei, it seems you’re quite bold. You haven’t listened to anything I’ve said and still choose to heed her! And you dare call my friend dubious!"
Lin Feng’s expression turned odd as he looked at Chen Wei, feeling a bit displeased. He thought himself obviously handsome and elegant, how could he be considered dubious?
Chen Wei shook his head, "Miss, I’m doing this for your good. I’m sure Mayor Cao and his wife will understand my rashness..."
"But I won’t forgive you!" Cao Ying was even angrier, glanced at Lin Feng, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Feng, I don’t want to go back with them. Can you help me send them away?"
"Okay." Lin Feng casually nodded, then looked calmly at Chen Wei and said indifferently, "You’ve all heard what Miss Cao said, right? If you don’t mind, how about giving me some face and temporarily leaving this bar?"
Chen Wei was taken aback, looking at Lin Feng in surprise, amused internally. Was this guy not fully awake and actually asking them to leave?
Not only Chen Wei thought so, but his several subordinates also took Lin Feng as a fool on the spot.
"Haha... Does this kid really dare ask us to leave? Is he still dreaming?"
"Yeah, we haven’t even pursued the matter of him abducting the Miss, and he’s already striking it lucky. How dare he be so arrogant? No idea how to act?"
"Indeed, no idea how to act..."
...
The few subordinates behind Chen Wei sneered at Lin Feng while discussing him. As Jiangzhou city’s mayor’s security guards, each of their skills was among the top in East China Military Region, making them akin to King of Soldiers level experts. Naturally, they didn’t take Lin Feng, who seemed like a student, seriously. Their words treated Lin Feng like someone who didn’t grasp the situation.
The voices of the security guards weren’t loud, but for Lin Feng, who had already reached Innate cultivation, even a low volume nearby felt like whispers right in his ear. He heard every word clearly.
Regarding the arrogant tones of the security guards, Lin Feng had no intention of serious confrontation... It wasn’t that his temper had improved, but that his level was different now. Facing the provocation from a few security guards was like ordinary people confronting a boastful kindergarten child. It simply wasn’t a match of equivalent levels, so there was no point in arguing.
However, the security guards who Lin Feng thought weren’t worth quibbling with also viewed Lin Feng as overconfident, forcing through, and self-righteous.
"Bro!" Chen Wei looked at Lin Feng, his tone slightly displeased, "I think you might not know what’s happening. Miss Cao’s bodyguards were sent by her mother to take her home! If you are Miss Cao’s friend, you should know we’re acting out of necessity. Please, respect us and don’t make things difficult!"
Chen Wei didn’t know Lin Feng’s specific identity. This was meant to test Lin Feng, believing that if Lin Feng knew Cao Ying’s true status, he wouldn’t dare create a conflict here. If Lin Feng didn’t know the Cao Family’s background... he likely wasn’t a close friend of the Miss, so provoking him wouldn’t be of concern.
Yet, Lin Feng didn’t seem to understand Chen Wei’s words, simply responding calmly, "Mr. Chen, didn’t you understand what Miss Cao said? She asked you not to disturb her! Didn’t understand?"
Chen Wei couldn’t help feeling somewhat exasperated, glaring at Lin Feng and questioning firmly, "Do you realize how crucial Miss Chen’s safety is? Can you take responsibility if anything happens to her?"
"I can certainly take responsibility for my own affairs, right?!" Cao Ying replied to Chen Wei with dissatisfaction, "So can you leave now?"
Chen Wei hadn’t anticipated Cao Ying advocating for Lin Feng, his face stiffening again. He smiled at Cao Ying awkwardly, "Miss, we’re really sorry. Before we came, the Mayor’s Wife instructed us... She said, regardless of any reason, we must bring you back."
"Such arrogance!" Cao Ying became even more displeased, snorted lightly, then turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, I don’t want to see them. You handle it..."
Lin Feng showed a bitter smile, then looked at Chen Wei and his crew, shrugging apologetically, "Everyone, you must have heard. Miss tells you to leave immediately so as not to make it difficult for me!"
This time, Lin Feng didn’t just speak; he also walked between Chen Wei and Cao Ying, reaching out to push Chen Wei away.
Having been rebuked by Cao Ying several times already and feeling completely disgraced, Chen Wei was now filled with fury. Seeing Lin Feng’s actions made Chen Wei even angrier, his temper flaring as he quietly pushed forward, aiming to give Lin Feng a show of strength!
Chen Wei was a second-tier Inner Strength master, coupled with his five years of military service during which he continuously strengthened his physique, his combination of inner and outer forces was not something ordinary people could withstand. His posture of pushing arms forward was enough to send a two-thousand-pound bull flying, not least a seemingly unremarkable young man like Lin Feng.
However, what left Chen Wei speechless was, as he gathered all his power to propel Lin Feng, the move was abruptly thwarted by Lin Feng’s unexpected action...
At some point, Lin Feng’s hand had gripped a bright Silver Needle, the tip aimed precisely at Chen Wei’s chest heart pulse!
