Chapter 95: Chapter 095 Barbarian

Tie Mu gave Chu Feng a puzzled look when he heard the question and said, "With your capabilities, how could you possibly not know about the Jin Family, one of the five prestigious families of East River?"

Chu Feng responded with a smile, "Do I necessarily have to know about them?"

After hearing Chu Feng’s retort, Tie Mu scratched his head and said, "That’s true. With your abilities, they should be the ones trying to ingratiate themselves with you."

Actually, Chu Feng genuinely didn’t know. Although he was aware of the An Family, Zhuang Family, and Wu Family, he really hadn’t heard about any five prominent families.

Tie Mu continued, "The five great families of East River are the Zhuang Family, Wu Family, An Family, Jin Family, and one more that isn’t worth mentioning. As for Jin Zhiqiang, that scoundrel, he is just a profligate descendant of the third generation of the Jin Family. Besides bullying others with his power, he is good for nothing."

Chu Feng gave a slight smile and mentioned, "The last one must be the Tie Family, right?"

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Tie Mu’s expression changed, and he said rather irritably, "That’s not our Tie Family, it’s their Tie Family. I have nothing to do with them."

Chu Feng originally thought that Tie Mu was just being modest by not mentioning his own family, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case. However, since it was Tie Mu’s secret, Chu Feng wouldn’t ask if Tie Mu didn’t mention it.

Chu Feng said, "Tell me about the Jin Family."

Since Jin Zhiqiang was bold enough to publicly attack him at school today, he surely wouldn’t stop there, so it was better to learn more about them beforehand.

After hearing Chu Feng’s words, Tie Mu answered, "The rise of the Jin Family is related to their name, which associates with gold and silver. According to rumors, the ancestor of the Jin Family was a royal goldsmith. Years ago, he went looking for a gold mine with a group of people. However, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty then and coincided with war. In the end, only the ancestor of the Jin Family survived; all the others died.

Everyone knew that the ancestor of the Jin Family had control over a gold mine. Countless people coveted it, but the ancestor was a remarkable man. He always managed to turn danger into safety, and later during the economic reforms, the Jin Family took the opportunity to reopen that gold mine and truly rose to prominence.

However, what really boosted the Jin Family’s rise and allowed them to join the ranks of the great families was not the gold mine, but the energy industry. Three years ago, the Jin Family developed a new type of energy. It was not only pollution-free, but also very cost-effective and affordable. It was through this energy industry that the Jin Family truly soared and entered the ranks of the prestigious families within three years, also gaining a formidable background due to this energy issue. As for Jin Zhiqiang..."

"You said the Jin Family rose through the energy sector three years ago." Chu Feng’s expression suddenly darkened upon hearing Tie Mu’s words.

If Chu Feng was not interested in the Jin Family’s earlier history, the recent rise of the Jin Family intrigued him greatly.

Because both the energy sector and the specific timeframe of three years closely matched the time when his elder brother had an accident. This couldn’t help but make Chu Feng suspect that the Jin Family was related to his brother’s issue.

Although Huang Lan had always been investigating his elder brother’s matter, due to his own level, Huang Lan had remained tight-lipped towards him.

If Chu Feng had known earlier that the Jin Family was related to his brother’s issue, perhaps he would not have let Jin Zhiqiang off so easily.

Tie Mu didn’t understand why Chu Feng asked this, but still said, "Actually, this matter is very strange to everyone. A family that made its fortune from gold suddenly ventured into high-tech. Everyone suspects that this isn’t the Jin Family’s own capability; there must be someone else behind them. But there’s no evidence anyway."

Upon hearing Tie Mu’s words, Chu Feng instantly calmed down.

Indeed, what if there were others behind the Jin Family? He could deal with the Jin Family, but what if those behind the Jin Family came for revenge?

He was no longer alone; he had his sister-in-law, An Rongrong, and many others by his side.

"Huh!" Chu Feng let out a deep breath, the fierceness vanishing from his face.

"Alright, let’s not worry about the Jin Family for now. Let’s go back and clean up the dormitory," Chu Feng suggested.

Tie Mu replied, "Sure! Next time I encounter that scoundrel from the Jin Family, I’ll give him a thorough beating for you."

Chu Feng smiled slightly and said, "If I encounter him next time, I’ll handle it myself."

When Chu Feng and Tie Mu returned to their dormitory, they heard a snide voice say, "What barbarians, fighting and then not cleaning up after themselves, leaving the whole room smelling of blood. Such uncouth behavior; it’s a wonder how such people ever got admitted to university."

Tie Mu was about to burst with anger upon hearing this voice, but Chu Feng stopped him. After all, it was their fault.

Held back by Chu Feng, Tie Mu suppressed his anger.

As Chu Feng and Tie Mu entered the room, they saw a somewhat effeminate man, about one meter eighty in height and also dressed in a rather feminine manner, sitting on a chair and pointing around.

Besides the effeminate man, there was another person in the room, wearing plain clothes and black-framed glasses, who was wiping the bloodstains off the floor.

"The heroes return!" the effeminate man said in a sarcastic tone as he saw Chu Feng and Tie Mu come in.

Chu Feng ignored him and addressed the student wiping the floor, "Sorry, Tie Mu and I had some matters to attend to just now. We were planning to come back and clean up."

The student with black-framed glasses looked up at Chu Feng and Tie Mu, smiled faintly, and said, "No worries, we’re roommates now. Whoever cleans up, it’s all the same."

"My name is Han Chunsheng, you two must be Chu Feng and Tie Mu, right? From now on, we’ll be sharing a dormitory. I hope we can look out for each other." Han Chunsheng took the initiative to greet Chu Feng and Tie Mu.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "I’m Chu Feng, and he’s Tie Mu. The dorm’s on us to clean since we messed it up."

"That’s how it should be, whoever dirties it should clean it up," the effeminate guy said.

"Laozi told you to clean it up, stop whining about it," Tie Mu snapped back, immediately angered.

Chu Feng said, "Never mind, we all share the same dormitory, and besides, it’s our fault to begin with."

The effeminate guy was initially quite scared, but after hearing what Chu Feng said, he felt encouraged and added, "Only barbarians would do such a thing, violence can’t solve the problem."

Chu Feng, looking coldly at the effeminate guy, said, "Violence can’t solve problems, but sometimes, violence is the most direct way to solve them."

The icy tone of Chu Feng made the effeminate guy feel as though the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees.

"This guy is always like this, aside from being a chatterbox and effeminate, he’s not a bad person. He was my high school classmate, Qi Houbo!" Han Chunsheng chimed in.

Chu Feng, who had a good impression of Han Chunsheng, smiled and said, "No worries. I was just telling it like it is."

Han Chunsheng, typically the nice guy, noticing the tension, tried to smooth things over by saying, "Actually, the water was brought back by Qi Houbo..."

"Why explain this to these two barbarians? They won’t understand," Qi Houbo said with sarcasm before Han Chunsheng could finish.

"Damn, just your voice is irritating. I messed it up, I admit it, talk nonsense one more time and believe me, I’ll throw you out the window," Tie Mu snapped, a typical hothead.

This time Chu Feng didn’t stop him, thinking that a lesson might be necessary for someone like Qi Houbo.

Qi Houbo, seeing Tie Mu’s towering height of nearly two meters, suddenly felt deflated.

Han Chunsheng also felt that it was about time to teach Qi Houbo a lesson, so he didn’t intervene.

With Tie Mu around, Qi Houbo felt awkward and simply turned to leave.

The three in the dormitory looked at each other and smiled, before starting to clean up together.

Soon, it was time for lunch, and just as the three were about to go out, they saw Qi Houbo come back in, about to take his meal card and go eat.

Seeing Tie Mu, Qi Houbo still felt uncomfortable.

Not wanting to make things awkward in the dormitory on the first day of school, Han Chunsheng said, "Xiao Qi, let’s go eat together. It’s our first meeting, let’s make it lively."

Qi Houbo opened his mouth, initially wanting to say he wouldn’t go with the two barbarians, but upon seeing Tie Mu’s gaze, he swallowed his words.

Chu Feng gave a slight smile and said, "Let’s all go have a meal together. We were indeed at fault today."

Now that Chu Feng had given him a way out, he took it, but still said, "I’ve already eaten, you guys go ahead."

Chu Feng shrugged at Han Chunsheng, showing a helpless expression. Han Chunsheng could only smile wryly.

"Wait." Just as the three were about to leave, Qi Houbo suddenly called out to them.

"Chu Feng, Tie Mu, be careful. I just went to the admin office to take care of some paperwork. I heard a teacher surnamed Huang talking about you guys. He said he’s going to deal with you two during military training, give you a lesson," Qi Houbo said seriously.

Upon hearing Qi Houbo’s words, Chu Feng said, "Thanks."

Chu Feng’s thanks were genuine. He also realized that aside from being a chatterbox, Qi Houbo was actually a decent person.

Chu Feng didn’t believe he had just casually heard it at the office. It must have been that Huang Zhongwei had mentioned him, and he had purposely listened in.

In this aspect, it proved Qi Houbo was indeed a great guy.

"Damn! That Huang is so sinister, planning to deal with us during military training. I knew we should have beaten him up hard," Tie Mu exploded, characteristically hot-tempered.

"Barbarian!" Qi Houbo snorted coldly, speaking effeminately.
