Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Endure for a Moment of Calm Seas and Light Winds?

Li Feng watched in horror as a Madman hurtled toward him in a crazed driving stunt. With a swift twist of his body, he grabbed a chain hanging from a gourd, swung it around, and sent it flying through the forklift’s window, latching onto the steering wheel.

Li Feng yanked hard at the gourd. The chain immediately tensed, pulling the steering wheel from the Madman’s hands. The forklift swerved violently and crashed into a steel beam on the side.

Bang.

The forklift smashed heavily against the steel beam, and the red-eyed Madman youth slammed headfirst into the steering wheel, knocked unconscious.

Gurgle.

Yet, that didn’t kill him.

This guy truly had a large fate; seeing Tiger Brother toppled, the remaining Madmen lost their will to fight to the death and just watched Li Feng help Chen Xiaote away triumphantly.

Placing Chen Xiaote in the front passenger seat, Li Feng drove straight out of the abandoned car lot.

"Thanks, old classmate,"

Chen Xiaote turned to Li Feng and expressed his gratitude.

"What’s there to thank me for? You’re suffering because you got caught up in my mess. Just don’t blame me. Though, these Madman thugs are just mere mercenaries. Getting rid of them doesn’t really solve the problem."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaote became a bit desperate.

"Li Feng, please don’t do anything rash. Beating up Tiger is one thing; these scumbags are nothing, but Xiao Yu is different. He has both the background and the money; you simply can’t defeat him."

Having been in the business for years, Chen Xiaote knew one rule very well: when faced with someone more powerful and wealthy than you, it’s no disgrace to play it safe.

Individuals like Xiao Yu, spoiled and influential, could ruin your life for fun if you crossed them.

Li Feng looked at Chen Xiaote, "Don’t worry about this; I’ll handle it."

"Li Feng, why are you so stubborn? By provoking someone like Xiao Yu, he’ll haunt you for a lifetime, making life unbearable for you. We’re just ordinary people; we can’t compare with him."

"Trust me, we’ll be better off stepping back. Sea City is vast, and as long as we don’t walk into trouble, it won’t be easy for him to target us."

Li Feng hummed non-committally.

"I’ll take you to the hospital first. Should you take a few days off from your restaurant? You’re quite injured," Li Feng changed the subject.

Chen Xiaote scoffed, "What leave? I was outright fired."

"Hm, what happened?"

Chen Xiaote’s mouth twisted bitterly, "Li Feng, you’ve been working for a few years now, need you ask? I offended that brat yesterday, and he made one phone call to our boss."

"I was the manager of that restaurant; it seemed prestigious, but at the end of the day, I was just a high-level worker. It was only a matter of a few words for the boss to fire me."

"This society belongs to the wealthy. If you don’t have money, power, or connections, and you don’t know how to keep your head down, how can you survive?"

"But don’t blame yourself. There are other places for people like us. I’ve wanted out for a while; despite seeming prestigious, I was really just a punching bag there."

"Whatever the issue, I always took the blame. Being scolded was routine, and whenever people were unreasonable, I was the one apologizing. Playing the fool all the time; I was practically becoming one."

Listening to Chen Xiaote’s complaints, understanding his frustration, Li Feng didn’t say much and drove to the hospital.

"Li Feng, listen to me. I know playing the fool sucks, but under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head. Just endure a little, and everything will calm down. We cannot fight these rich heirs."

"I understand. Take good care of your injuries."

Having settled Chen Xiaote’s affairs, it was already afternoon. After leaving the hospital, Li Feng immediately called Wang Qian.

Wang Qian, eager to please, quickly responded sycophantically: "Young Master Feng, how can I assist you?"

"Help me look someone up, I need to know his current location."

"Mr. Li, please go ahead."

"Xiao Yu, his father is Xiao Yubin."

"Got it, Mr. Li. Give me a moment, I’ll have someone check on it right away."

Wang Qian managed the money shop for Li Feng and had extensive connections. Although Huacheng bordered Sea City and the money shop had not overstepped its boundaries, it still had several offices in Sea City, especially after Li Feng’s arrival, as the reach of the four major money shops had extended into Sea City.

Wang Qian made several calls and within ten minutes he called Li Feng back, "Mr. Li, I’ve found him."

"This Xiao Yu has reserved a spot at a specialty restaurant called Ocean Pearl, seems like he’s meeting a recently popular third-tier female star."

Li Feng grunted an acknowledgment, "Okay, reserve a spot for me too at that restaurant."

"Sure."

Wang Qian didn’t ask further. However, it was clear to him, considering Mr. Li’s inquiry about Xiao Yu, that Xiao Yu was bound for some misfortune, though he didn’t know what the grandson had done to offend Mr. Li.

Li Feng hung up the phone, glanced at the time after lifting his wrist—it was almost four in the afternoon—and he immediately got into his car and drove straight to the school in Sea City where Wang Qian was.

During the penultimate period, Wang Qian was somewhat distracted as she listened to her teacher. She hesitated but ultimately took out her phone to send Li Feng a message.

Li Feng received the message just as he stopped at the school gate and instantly sent back a photo.

Upon seeing the photo of her school gate, a joy sprang up in Wang Qian’s heart; she hummed to herself, still a man of his word.

"Wang Qian, something good happen? You look so happy."

Her seatmate had naturally noticed Wang Qian’s expression and couldn’t help but ask quietly.

"Nothing."

Trust you a ghost, smiling so brilliantly and then saying it’s nothing, especially when everyone said Wang Qian had been dropped off in the morning by a luxury Mercedes.

The hour flew by swiftly, and Wang Qian also directly asked her homeroom teacher for a leave; given that she was the top student of her grade, the teacher promptly allowed her request.

Wang Qian swiftly packed her bag and left the classroom, a move that did not escape the eyes of her seatmate, who then quietly followed behind.

When Wang Qian emerged from the school gate and looked around, she saw Li Feng leaning against the car smoking. She hurried over and flung herself into his arms like a bird returning to its nest.

Cough, cough, cough.

Li Feng choked on the smoke due to Wang Qian’s sudden embrace, "What’s this about?"

Wang Qian let go of Li Feng, snorting with pride, "Consider the hug a reward for showing up on time. Don’t think too much into it."

"Where are we eating tonight?"

"I’ve already made reservations."

Wang Qian grunted, "Then let’s go, go, go!" With that, she walked around the front of the car and sat down in the passenger seat, and Li Feng too opened the door and got into the car.

"Could the rumors be true, that the top-grade beauty of the school has actually been taken under someone’s care?"

Wang Qian’s seatmate watched as she left in the luxury car, still somewhat in disbelief, her heart inexplicably ached.

"Feng Yu, you’re wandering off into space, watch where you’re walking."

"Get lost, stop bothering me, I don’t want to talk right now."

"What’s wrong?"
