Chapter 15: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Seeking Revenge

In this world, there are people who believe the world should revolve around them. When things don’t go their way, they easily blame others without ever considering their own faults! Clearly, Zheng Xinyi was one of those people.

After having a late-night snack, the two enjoyed a cup of steaming hot milk tea.

"I feel like I’m being kept!" Ling Feng said helplessly, since Liu Tingyu had paid for everything from the nighttime snack to the milk tea.

"Isn’t it the case that I still need to rent your room? I’ll be satisfied as long as you don’t ask me for rent!" Liu Tingyu said with a smile.

The two chatted while walking and soon returned to the community.

Four or five drunk men, stumbling and lurching, approached them; their heavy scent of alcohol wafted over from a distance.

As they passed Liu Tingyu, one of the drunks staggered and bumped into Liu Tingyu’s shoulder. Liu Tingyu quickly dodged, but the milk tea in his hand splashed out and stained the drunk’s clothes.

"Damn, it’s a brand new shirt, and you just stained it?" The drunk barked angrily upon seeing his clothes dirty, "You tell me, how are we gonna settle this?"

Liu Tingyu said indignantly, "It was clearly you who bumped into me, how can you blame me for this?"

"You still think you’re right?" The drunk burped and said, "I’ll have you know, I’m not easy to bully as Pang Hu. Today, either you compensate for my clothes, or you’re not leaving!"

"That’s right, young people nowadays really have no sense!" Another drunk chimed in, "Can’t you even apologize? Today, we’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingyu’s face turned angry, "What do you want to do?"

Brother Hu said, "What do we want to do? Obviously, we want you to pay! This is a brand new item you’ve dirtied, young woman, you wouldn’t think of not compensating, would you?"

As he spoke, Brother Hu shook his sticky clothes. Not to mention a new item, even if it were given away as a rag, it would still be too dirty to accept!

"Extortion, huh?" Liu Tingyu suddenly realized, these rascals were just trying to scam them.

Perhaps they saw Liu Tingyu and Ling Feng as young people who looked easy to bully.

"Name your price!" Liu Tingyu said.

Brother Hu and his companions exchanged glances and said, "We see you young folks aren’t having it easy either, we don’t want to make things complicated. Just give us five thousand yuan, and we’ll call it even. Otherwise, you should be careful walking around at night."

"Five thousand yuan? Why don’t you just rob us?" Liu Tingyu became furious. All of their clothes combined were probably not even worth three hundred yuan, and they dared to demand five thousand! They must be out of their minds!

At this moment, Ling Feng, who had been silent, tugged at Liu Tingyu’s arm and said, "Don’t worry, let me handle this."

He then pulled Liu Tingyu behind him, smiled, and said, "Gentlemen, my girlfriend doesn’t know any better. I apologize on her behalf! It’s our fault that we dirtied your clothes, and we should compensate! Five thousand is nothing, I’ll give you ten thousand, let’s be friends, how about that?"

Liu Tingyu grew anxious upon hearing this. What was Ling Feng doing? How could he possibly compromise with these scoundrels?

"Don’t move!" Ling Feng said in a low voice, "Aren’t you happy that I’m making some friends?"

Pang Hu said with a smile, "You’re really something, brother, I’m definitely making friends with you!"

At that moment, a burly man next to Pang Hu tugged at his clothes and whispered into his ear, "Brother Hu, are we really going to take this ten thousand? If this doesn’t work out, will we still have good days when we go back?"

Without betraying any emotion, Pang Hu flicked his hand and said, "Good brother, since you’re interested, we’re not stingy people! Let’s forget about this ten thousand yuan, consider it a meeting gift from me to a brother, how about that?"

Ling Feng pretended to be happy and said, "I didn’t expect Brother Hu to be such a generous person, I’m really impressed. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going!"

"Hold on!" Pang Hu said slowly, "You know, as brothers, we’re always honest and open with each other! I’m not a stingy person, and I’m sure you’re not either, right?"

"What do you mean, Brother Hu?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled.

Grinning, Pang Hu looked at Liu Tingyu and said, "My meaning is simple, I find your girlfriend very attractive, and I’m sure you’re happy as well, how about letting us brothers also have some fun? Don’t worry, brothers are like limbs, and a woman is like clothing! Sharing one piece of clothing shows how deep our brotherhood is. From now on, in Jinghua Community you can strut around, no one will dare to mess with you!"

When the cards were down! Ling Feng sighed softly and said, "What you mean is, you want me to be a coward, to let you violate my girlfriend?"

"What do you mean by saying that?" a man next to Pang Hu said annoyedly, "What do you mean by ’violate’? We’re just spreading joy! Brothers, am I right?"

"Yeah, we’ll bring her back to you, it’s not like we’re not giving her back to you!"

"What if, this young woman can’t bear to leave us brothers?"

"Then we would just have to reluctantly keep her for you, since we are so righteous!"

...

Subsequently, their filthy language kept spilling out, and Liu Tingyu also started to feel something was wrong.

Logically speaking, Jinghua Community near Yan University always had good public order, but today the appearance of these few drunks was extremely abnormal, as if everything had been arranged.

"You guys have had quite the fun acting, huh?" Now, Ling Feng changed from his previous timidity, his gaze lightly sweeping over them, "Tell me, who’s the one pulling the strings behind the scenes? Is it that young lad Ling Hai?"

Pang Hu’s brows twitched, "Who is Ling Hai? You’re not being a good brother here, we have done our part completely, don’t play dumb!"

Disdainfully, Ling Feng said, "You still don’t want to admit it? Although you’ve drunk quite a bit and pretend to be drunk. Your steps seem frivolous but are strong and forceful, your eyes seem unfocused but are sharply accurate! I just wanted to see what your real purpose was, whether it was extortion or seeking revenge. Tell me, who’s your mastermind?"

Pang Hu and the others stiffened, the drunken charade completely gone.

"This is a master!" they thought to themselves.

"Alright, since you’ve figured it out, we won’t be polite anymore! I can only say you’ve messed with someone you shouldn’t have. Today, we brothers are going to break your legs as a lesson!" Pang Hu said gravely, then charged towards Ling Feng.
