Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Exploding the Internet, Shocking the Whole Country!

Lin Feng was eating and drinking heartily when someone suddenly barged in, causing him to fly into a rage instantly. He slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the intruder and bellowing.

"Who the hell are you to come here and cause trouble for Lin Feng? You got a death wish?"

Lin Feng’s first reaction to the disruption was to explode in anger.

He was eager to see who these people were to dare cause him trouble; they must be really gutsy!

Among the group was a female reporter, extending her microphone towards Lin Feng.

"We are reporters from the provincial station; we received a report that this restaurant has been illegally slaughtering protected animals for consumption."

"Your name is Lin Feng, right? May I ask what your occupation is, and do you know that consuming wildlife is illegal?"

Lin Feng was furious, "What provincial station reporters, get lost! If you don’t scram, believe it or not, I’ll kill you!"

The female reporter was Su Lei. Seeing how arrogant and overbearing Lin Feng was, she quickly retracted her microphone.

"Dear viewers, this man not only consumes wildlife but also threatens reporters in public. His arrogance is simply too much; I wonder who gave him such audacity?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this table, right in the center lies the fresh, bloodied head of a leopard, a national first-class protected animal known as the leopard cat."

"In addition to the leopard cat, there are other national first-class protected animals like the giant salamander, the crested ibis, the golden snub-nosed monkey, and wild sika deer on this table."

"As our economy develops, our country is placing greater emphasis on the protection of wildlife, enacting a series of related laws. Under these circumstances, some individuals blatantly consume various first-class protected animals, which is absolutely unforgivable..."

The interview was being live-streamed, with the provincial station and online streaming platforms linked up.

After interviewing Zi Yumo’s assault case in Jiang City and broadcasting it nationwide, Su Lei gained massive traffic, and her following skyrocketed. She now had millions of fans and was a significant influencer, which significantly increased the viewership of the provincial station.

Today’s impromptu broadcast immediately grabbed a lot of attention.

The story of someone publicly consuming national protected animals, and several first-class protected species, at that, who upon being discovered, not only wasn’t scared but shouted defiantly, caused widespread interest. The live stream room heated up instantly, and soon over a hundred thousand people joined the stream.

Su Lei spoke with righteous indignation, which infuriated Lin Feng. He grabbed a wine bottle and hurled it at Su Lei, then leaped onto the table, lunging towards her, "You filthy bitch, how dare you bother Lin Feng? I’ll fucking kill you!"

Lin Feng came from a prominent family and never feared anyone. Today he was merely enjoying some exotic meats, tasting the likes of leopard cats, golden snub-nosed monkeys, and crested ibises just for their novelty. The fact that someone came to make a scene was intolerable for him; he had to teach this female reporter a lesson!

"Ah..."

A scream pierced the air as the wine bottle struck Su Lei squarely on the forehead, causing her head to bleed immediately.

Before she could catch her breath, Lin Feng was upon her, fists raised to strike.

Fortunately, her two fellow reporters rushed up and held Lin Feng back.

This entire scene was captured by the camera and broadcast nationwide.

Lin Feng’s consumption of leopard cats, golden snub-nosed monkeys, crested ibises, and other first-class protected animals had not only failed to intimidate him, but his violent reaction was thoroughly captivating the audience; the live stream viewer count soared to over a million and kept rising, with the provincial station’s ratings skyrocketing.

The live stream was flooded with comments, each one condemning Lin Feng’s actions.

Consuming a first-class protected animal was already a serious crime, but he went further and attacked someone, showing outrageous dominance.

Soon, well-informed netizens uncovered his identity; he was just the Deputy Town Chief of Qingshan Town.

Just a Deputy Town Chief, and yet he had such influence—where did his confidence come from to dare to strike a provincial station reporter?

Such matters must be seriously pursued to the very end!

Inside the private room, the scene had already spiraled out of control. For personal safety, Su Lei fled with the cover of several colleagues.

Lin Feng was relentless, chasing and beating them. Once outside, he shouted even louder for help, ordering all the provincial station’s people to be captured.

Not only did he chase them, but Lin Feng also ranted loudly.

"Son of a bitch, others may fear you damn reporters, but in my Lin Feng’s eyes, you’re nothing!"

"Couldn’t you find anything better to do than to come looking for trouble with me, I won’t let you off!"

"Someone come, take them all down, beat them to death!"

"Snatch their cameras, smash them to pieces, I want to see you broadcast now!"

"Dare to mess with me, I’ll surely kill you all!"

"Beat them, beat them to death!"

Lin Feng’s arrogance grew, directing a group of his men to beat up the provincial station’s reporters.

In his mind, eating a protected animal was nothing. He thought he could just rough up these provincial station reporters, then seize and destroy their cameras, and the whole incident would be smoothed over.

He had no idea that this interview was being broadcast live.

His actions in the private room had already shocked the viewers and netizens, and now that he was commanding people to beat up others, it had sparked public outrage, igniting everyone’s anger.

As Su Lei and the others were about to suffer, sirens wailed and several police cars charged into Wild Game Villa, with Wu Kai leading the team.

Stepping out of the car, Wu Kai and his men rushed forward and arrested Lin Feng and his company.

Lin Monong, seeing that the situation was bad, had already escaped through the private room window, fleeing through the back door of the villa.

Upon seeing the police arrive, Lin Feng still arrogantly shouted, "Do you know who I am, dare to arrest me, do you no longer wish to live?"

Wu Kai pressed Lin Feng down and handcuffed him, "I don’t care who you are, you dare to eat a first-class protected animal and publicly assault provincial station reporters, prepare to rot in jail!"

"Let go of me, damn you, let me go!"

"I know you, you’re Wu Kai, it’s got to be Xu Qianli who’s making you do this, right?"

"Great, now I get it, it’s definitely that Xu Qianli who’s been plotting against me!"

"That guy must have known long ago that I arranged for those college students to be sent to set him up, doing nothing for this half month, just to lull me into a false sense of security, waiting to spring a trap on me."

"Xu Qianli, you damn wait, it’s not over between us, I’ll make sure you’re dead, just you wait..."

Lin Feng shouted loudly, too agitated, letting slip all sorts of things — even revealing the ploy of arranging college students to set up Xu Qianli.

The live broadcast room exploded at this revelation.

For the past half-month, many people had been waiting for the follow-up on that case, wanting to know who was behind Shen Miao and the others, paying them a large sum to set up Xu Qianli.

Turns out, it was this Lin Feng!

Not only did this guy consume wildlife and beat up reporters, but he was also the true mastermind behind the previous strong-arm case!
