As everyone turned, they saw Zhao Peng arrive at the restaurant with a middle-aged man. The man wore a designer suit, exuded an imposing aura, and had an excellent demeanor, clearly indicating he was a person of influence.
He was none other than the owner of the restaurant and Zhao Peng's father, Zhao Dongliang.
Zhao Dongliang was usually a figure few dared to provoke in the city. Not only did he own this restaurant, but he also commanded the powerful Zhao Group.
Even the richest man would show him some respect. Upon hearing that his son had been bullied, how could he stand idly by?
"It's bad, Young Master Zhao is back. He must be here to get revenge on Mu Feng. We're in trouble now."
Shen Weihao's face turned pale with fear. Seeing Zhao Peng return with Zhao Dongliang for revenge, he said with great worry.
"Hmph, this jinx is indeed no good. Dad, look, you were protecting him just now, and now our whole family will be ruined by him."
Wang Guiqin's heart sank, and she hurriedly complained to Old Master Wang.
Old Master Wang's eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
But before he could speak, Zhao Peng had already brought his father to this spot and pointed directly at the group of people in front of them, saying, "Dad, it's them, especially that kid. He just twisted my shoulder bone."
"He simply doesn't take our Zhao family seriously. Dad, you must teach him a harsh lesson."
"Let me see who dares to be so bold as to cause trouble on my turf."
Zhao Dongliang let out a cold snort and his gaze fiercely fell upon Mu Feng's face.
Just as he was about to teach Mu Feng a lesson, at this very moment, his heart violently trembled.
Following that, his eyes became vacant, and a deep gaze appeared in them.
"Dad, why aren't you speaking? This kid hit me just now, you must make him pay with his life."
"Shut up."
As soon as Zhao Peng finished speaking, Zhao Dongliang suddenly rebuked him sternly. He slowly turned his head and coldly ordered, "Kneel down immediately and apologize to this gentleman."
"Wh... what?"
Zhao Peng thought he had misheard. He stammered, looking at his father, and asked in confusion, "Dad, he's the one who hit me, why are you telling me to apologize?"
"This kid, I wish I could tear him into a thousand pieces, he..."
*Slap!*
The next second, Zhao Dongliang slapped Zhao Peng across the face!
The crisp sound of the slap shocked everyone in the restaurant!
Not only was Zhao Peng stunned on the spot, but the entire Wang family was also frozen in place.
What was going on!
Chairman Zhao actually hit his own son for Mu Feng?
"Dad, you..."
"Aren't you going to kneel and apologize quickly?"
Seeing that he still hadn't complied, a crimson light flashed in Zhao Dongliang's eyes. Frightened, Zhao Peng immediately fell to his knees before Mu Feng.
He dared not disobey his father's orders any further. After kneeling, he repeatedly said, "Sorry, it was my fault just now."
Mu Feng was still a bit confused. He looked at Zhao Dongliang, who seemed somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall who he was for a moment.
Zhao Dongliang then stepped forward to Mu Feng, suddenly bowed his head, and said deeply, "Benefactor, it is all my fault for not disciplining my son properly and causing you to be wronged."
"Do you still remember me? Back then, when I was abroad, you helped me greatly, helped me recover my property, and even saved my life..."
As he spoke, Mu Feng finally had some impression.
It turned out to be him!
When Mu Feng was on a mission abroad, he happened to encounter Zhao Dongliang's business group being robbed by bandits. He casually helped him intercept the stolen goods and saved his life with his medical skills.
From then on, Mu Feng parted ways with him. If it weren't for his reminder, Mu Feng would not have remembered who he was.
However, this matter was etched in Zhao Dongliang's heart forever. If Mu Feng hadn't intervened that time, he might have died in a foreign land, let alone achieve his current success!
Everyone around them showed confusion. No one knew what the relationship between Chairman Zhao Dongliang and Mu Feng was.
Including the Wang family, their gazes were now filled with bewilderment. They never expected Mu Feng to know such an influential figure as Chairman Zhao.
Just now, they had been extremely panicked, thinking that the Wang family would suffer today, but the current situation was completely different from what they had imagined.
"So it's you?"
Mu Feng finally spoke, saying softly.
"Benefactor, it is my failing as a father that this brat offended you. I will discipline him strictly in the future, and I implore you to spare his worthless life."
Zhao Dongliang was extremely respectful to Mu Feng. After speaking, he commanded Zhao Peng again, "What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you kowtowing to Mr. Mu? He is the benefactor of our Zhao family, and you dare to be disrespectful to him."
"Yes, yes, I understand, Dad..."
Although Zhao Peng was still resentful towards Mu Feng in his heart, seeing his father's stern eyes, he dared not show any disrespect and quickly kowtowed to Mu Feng a few times.
Mu Feng waved his hand and said casually, "Since he is your son, I will not pursue this matter. I have other things to attend to, so I will take my leave."
"Benefactor, please stay."
Zhao Dongliang caught up with Mu Feng's steps, quickly took out a membership card from his pocket, and said to Mu Feng with a smile, "I have always wanted to repay your kindness, but I never had the opportunity. Seeing you again today, you must accept this lifetime membership card."
"From now on, whenever you dine at my restaurant, or consume anything at any establishment under the Zhao Group, it will all be complimentary."
"I know this is insignificant to you, Benefactor, but it represents my sincere intention." As he spoke, Zhao Dongliang took a step forward and knelt directly before Mu Feng, pleading, "A drop of kindness deserves a fountain of gratitude. Benefactor, you saved my life. If I do not repay you, I will have no face to continue living."
"What?"
Before Mu Feng could react, all the surrounding customers and the Wang family were stunned!
What kind of honor and status could possess the supreme membership card of the Zhao Group, and for Chairman Zhao Dongliang to kneel and plead for its acceptance?
There were less than two such cards nationwide. To think that Mu Feng could receive one for free was simply an immense stroke of luck!
However.
After Mu Feng glanced at it, he decisively shook his head and refused, "I appreciate your kind intentions, but I cannot accept the card. Please take it back."
"Benefactor!"
As Mu Feng was about to leave again, he suddenly saw Zhao Dongliang repeatedly kowtow, holding the card out to Mu Feng with both hands, and said resolutely, "If Benefactor does not accept it, I will remain kneeling here indefinitely."
"You?"
Mu Feng was speechless for a moment!
He hadn't expected Zhao Dongliang to be so stubborn. If he didn't accept the card today, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave.
The surrounding spectators also persuaded Mu Feng to accept it. Finally, with no other recourse, Mu Feng agreed, "Alright, since you are so insistent, then I will accept the card. You can get up now, can't you?"
"Good, thank you, Benefactor."
Only then did Zhao Dongliang show a hint of joy on his face. He stood up from the ground and personally escorted Mu Feng and his group away.
After they left, Zhao Peng, standing behind Zhao Dongliang, suddenly had a sinister expression on his face. He thought to himself, *Mu Feng, you just wait. Don't think that just because my dad is showing you respect, I'll forgive you!*
*What you did to me today, I will make you pay back a hundredfold!*
