Lu Feng's voice was calm, but beneath the tranquility lay a hint of deadly intent.
"This is an acquaintance of mine. If he offended you just now, I apologize on his behalf!"
He was ostensibly apologizing.
But this was hardly the attitude of someone offering an apology.
It was more like a solemn declaration.
Li Deng was also a stubborn man.
Now that things had reached this point, with the bald man and another secretary present.
If he didn't properly deal with the person lying on the ground who had ruined his plans, how could he possibly maintain his dignity?
"Kid, I advise you to get out of the way quickly, or else, you too!"
This man, relying on his past military service and robust physique.
Completely disregarded Lu Feng.
As he spoke, he prepared to throw a punch at Lu Feng.
Whoosh!
Two powerful fists instantly struck.
Seeing this, Lin Mei's heart leaped into her throat.
She had come here with Lu Feng to find Song Fei.
They hadn't found Song Fei, so why had a fight broken out?
However, Lu Feng remained completely composed.
He moved with incredible speed.
Like a snake active beneath the water.
Those two fists were quickly deflected. Not only that, but they also locked Li Deng's elbows firmly.
This move alone contained at least ten years of cultivation.
His arms, like a pair of iron clamps, held Li Deng's elbows fast.
Sweat began to bead on Li Deng's forehead.
This was not sweat from heat.
It was cold sweat.
He was actually no match for this seemingly frail young man.
This was simply unbelievable!
Li Deng put on a fierce expression.
But deep down, a trace of fear began to surface.
This young man in front of him, not even out of breath, was clearly trained.
Alas!
Li Deng inwardly lamented his misfortune.
He had truly encountered an expert.
Yet, he couldn't find a way to back down gracefully.
He could only hold on.
Li Deng could hold on.
But the bald man beside him couldn't.
Just as Li Deng and Lu Feng were grappling.
He suddenly saw a card fall from Lu Feng's pocket.
Following the edge of the gilded card.
"Lin Family, Lin Mei."
These crucial words flashed before his eyes.
The bald man's sparse hair almost fell out from fright.
This time, Li Deng hadn't just met an opponent; he had stumbled upon a formidable adversary.
Li Deng was wealthy, that was true, but compared to the Lin Family.
His wealth was insignificant.
The person in front of him, even if he was just a ball boy.
There was no need to be afraid.
A mere ten thousand yuan, even if his legs were broken, could be easily settled.
But if this person had the backing of the Lin Family, it was a completely different story.
This person in front of him would surely pursue the matter relentlessly.
Then, Li Deng and he would be in dire straits.
"Mr. Li!"
At this moment, the bald man quickly moved to Li Deng's side.
Li Deng noticed the bald man suddenly appear behind him and his voice sharpened.
"What are you doing?"
The bald man, with an expression of uncontrollable apprehension, looked at Li Deng. "Ahem, Mr. Li, we should leave!"
His voice was low, just loud enough for Li Deng to hear.
But upon hearing this, Li Deng.
Hiss!
His remaining space was filled with rage.
"Leave? Are you blind?"
Hearing this, the bald man's scalp tingled as if thousands of ants were crawling on it, a most uncomfortable sensation.
However, he didn't know what to say.
To speak directly.
Would undoubtedly cause Li Deng to lose face.
His mind raced for a moment.
The bald man subtly gestured with his eyes towards the ground not far away.
Li Deng was extremely displeased.
He couldn't understand what was wrong with his subordinate, Old Liu, today.
However, Old Liu had been with him for so many years, he wouldn't betray him.
Exasperated.
But his gaze followed where the bald man's eyes pointed.
When he noticed the business card lying flat on the ground.
Li Deng felt as if he had swallowed a piece of ancient ice.
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
But how could Li Deng say such a thing now?
Seeing this, the bald man's mind raced again.
Soon, an idea struck him.
"You punk, let go, our Mr. Li doesn't want to argue with you!"
The bald man said, and immediately stepped forward.
Lu Feng saw this and gave the man an opportunity to retreat.
He understood the man's intentions at a glance.
Li Deng seized the chance to slip away.
However, since action had been taken, how could Lu Feng let this man get away with it?
The person lying on the ground.
Lu Feng had seen him in the files.
It was Song Fei.
Otherwise, no matter how righteous a person might be.
They wouldn't intervene without reason, and so decisively, so resolutely, to offer help.
"Mr. Li, you want to leave just like that? I saw you hit my friend just now! I'm not asking for anything, but the basic medical expenses and nutritional fees, surely that's not enough!"
Ten thousand yuan, not enough?
Li Deng's eyes bulged.
But the two people standing in front of him were from the Lin Family.
He would rather cut off his own flesh than offend them.
The bald man glanced at Li Deng, signaling him not to act rashly.
It was important to know that the Lin Family, in the southeastern city, while not necessarily shaking the entire business world, with their financial strength, could easily determine the life or death of a small or medium-sized enterprise.
"Mr. Li, let's consider it making a friend!"
"You!"
After a pause, Li Deng stared at the bald man. "Then you go!"
"I, I can't. You are Mr. Li, what am I? What if they don't recognize me and think we're looking down on them? Then more complications will arise, won't they?"
This argument was indeed valid.
Li Deng was momentarily speechless.
Though he was a thousand times displeased, he had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened.
"This, this is an acquaintance, so this ten thousand is just a small token, I wonder if it's enough!"
After speaking, Li Deng immediately told Old Liu to get the money.
The bald man quickly took out another ten thousand from his bag.
This money was the final payment for a project completed that morning.
Because it was a physical project, the client had paid in cash.
Seeing the bright red bills fall like snowflakes.
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes.
Those two people had been too overbearing just now.
Although he hadn't seen the entire sequence of events.
Lu Feng understood that Li Deng had simply taken a dislike to him and arbitrarily taken his anger out on the innocent Song Fei.
If these two weren't made to pay a hefty price.
These people would likely never learn their lesson.
"Medical expenses, perhaps. But if you want to make a friend, Mr. Li should show some sincerity!"
"This!"
Li Deng was stunned, then he understood.
"This, this is thirty thousand. Today, we really didn't bring that much."
Li Deng forced a smile, but his heart was bleeding.
This single incident had cost him a full fifty thousand yuan.
Fifty thousand yuan was not a small sum.
