Chapter 17 – To tear off the mask

"Principal Wang, your words are a bit harsh. We're all here to have a good time tonight, there's no need for this to escalate."

At this moment, Ouyang Xiu noticed the situation was getting tense and quickly tried to mediate.

"Mr. Ouyang, this has nothing to do with you! Stay out of it."

Wang Tiangao showed no respect for Ouyang Xiu.

Although Ouyang Xiu was a senior teacher at the school, Wang Tiangao was the vice principal!

In terms of status and power, Ouyang Xiu couldn't compare!

"Some people never learn their place unless they're taught a lesson!"

"Chairman Yun spoke kindly to him, giving him face! But I, Wang Tiangao, don't need to give him that face..."

"I despise people who are incompetent yet love to put on airs! Just a worthless fool!"

Wang Tiangao looked at Lin Feng and criticized him without reservation.

In fact, he had disliked Lin Feng from the moment they were in the main hall, and now he was just looking for an excuse to lash out.

"Do you think you're being cool?"

Lin Feng raised his eyelids, his deep eyes calmly meeting Wang Tiangao's gaze.

For some reason, facing Lin Feng's eyes, Wang Tiangao suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if he were being stared down by a demon!

But he quickly snapped out of it!

He was the vice principal of a prestigious university, why should he fear such a minor character?

"Am I wrong?"

Wang Tiangao sneered.

"Whether you're right or not is another matter! But you just yelled at my sister. I once swore that after I returned, I wouldn't allow anyone to bully my sister again."

Lin Feng stood up, looking at Wang Tiangao with a blank expression.

"Now, I'll give you a chance to make amends. Apologize to my sister, and I might consider letting this go."

"Apologize to this little girl? Do you think that's possible?"

Wang Tiangao's face was full of mockery.

"So... that's your choice?"

Lin Feng's face remained expressionless.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense.

Some people felt uneasy, sensing a bit of tension.

What was Lin Feng planning to do?

Was he really going to hit the principal?

Off to the side, Yun Jingchu's lips curled into a slight smile.

He knew it was his turn to step in!

All he needed to do was say a few words, and he could easily defuse the current crisis!

Not only could he show off in front of everyone, but he could also make Lin Feng grateful to him.

With this in mind, Yun Jingchu cleared his throat, left his seat, walked over to Lin Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Alright, alright! I'm hosting today, let's all say a little less and not let this get out of hand!"

Then he turned to Wang Tiangao and said:

"Principal Wang, do me a favor and let this matter go! Lin Feng is an old classmate of mine, and his sister is like a sister to me."

"Since Chairman Yun has spoken, of course, I'll give him this face."

Wang Tiangao shrugged indifferently.

His goal was to befriend Yun Jingchu, and since Yun Jingchu had spoken, he naturally had to give him face.

As for Lin Feng and Lin Yun Yao, in his eyes, they were just small characters. He could reward them with a candy when pleased and suppress them when not, purely for amusement.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the room nodded secretly.

They truly felt that Yun Jingchu had an extraordinary demeanor!

Despite Lin Feng's previous disregard for him, he still treated him sincerely!

In today's society, such young people were indeed rare!

No wonder he was named one of Jinling City's top ten outstanding young people, developing his career to this extent had its reasons.

"Lin Feng, aren't you going to thank Jingchu? If it weren't for him today, you'd be in trouble."

Zhao Shuang'er shouted from not far away.

"No need, no need, we're old classmates!"

Yun Jingchu smiled slightly.

But his eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, and it was clear to everyone that he was waiting for Lin Feng's gratitude.

However, at this moment.

"Bang!"

Lin Feng slapped Yun Jingchu, sending him flying, then coldly looked at Wang Tiangao and said:

"I'll give you ten seconds to decide. If you don't apologize to my sister, I guarantee you won't live past tonight."

"If you think I'm joking, feel free to test it with your life."

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

...

This sudden turn of events left the entire private room in silence.

Everyone's mouths were agape, stunned.

Ouyang Xiu's eyes were blank.

Zhao Shuang'er was completely dumbfounded!

Yun Jingchu, lying on the ground, covered his swollen face, full of disbelief.

He dared to hit me?

He actually dared to hit me?

Yun Jingchu clenched his fists tightly, speaking coldly:

"Lin Feng, what the hell do you mean? I spoke up for you, and you hit me?"

Lin Feng ignored him, continuing to stare coldly at Wang Tiangao, starting a countdown:

"Three!"

"Two!"

"I'm... I'm sorry!"

Wang Tiangao spoke nervously.

Beads of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead.

Lin Feng's gaze was truly terrifying, like those cold-blooded killers on TV, instilling a strong sense of fear in him.

This fear made his skin crawl, as if he would really die if he didn't apologize!

Forget it, forget it!

This Lin Feng was just a small fry at the bottom of society, and I am the vice principal of Jinling University. There's no need to stoop to his level!

Wang Tiangao comforted himself in his heart.

Seeing that Wang Tiangao actually apologized, everyone in the room had complex expressions.

But then they thought,

This was normal!

Those with nothing to lose don't fear those with something to lose.

Lin Feng was likely already twisted in his mindset!

It wasn't about fear!

But there was no need to confront someone like him head-on.

With their status, they had a thousand ways to make Lin Feng suffer!

"Saying sorry to me is useless."

Lin Feng said coldly.

"This young lady, I'm sorry! I was too abrupt just now!"

Wang Tiangao looked at Lin Yun Yao, forcing a smile.

Apologizing to a student,

He felt very aggrieved, like swallowing a bitter pill, yet he had no choice.

"It's alright."

Lin Yun Yao felt complicated.

Although Wang Tiangao apologized now, what about afterward?

She could almost foresee her own fate, being expelled was almost certain!

But she didn't blame her brother!

No matter what, her brother was standing up for her!

If even she blamed her brother for his actions, how heartbroken would he be!

"Since you apologized, let's put this matter behind us! I don't want this incident to lead to my sister being expelled! Do you understand?"

Lin Feng said coldly.

"Of course!"

Wang Tiangao quickly nodded, thinking to himself that as a high-educated individual, there was no need to argue with such a person.

"I hope you can do that, or I guarantee you'll have no place to rest in peace!"

Lin Feng suddenly grabbed a cup from the table and crushed it into powder in front of everyone.

Seeing this,

Everyone in the room had their pupils contract slightly, what strength!

"Old classmate, it seems we won't be able to finish this meal tonight. I'll treat you another time when I have the chance!"

Lin Feng said apologetically to Ouyang Xiu.

"Sigh!"

Ouyang Xiu didn't reply, just let out a long sigh.

The young are easily broken!

Why doesn't Xiao Feng understand this principle?

This left him helpless and also pained.

"Little Yao, let's go!"

Lin Feng said to his sister.

"Okay!"

Lin Yun Yao nodded, obediently following her brother.

Li Xiaoke hesitated for a moment, then chose to follow them.

But just then.

"Stop right there!"

Yun Jingchu, with a cold expression, blocked their path.

Being slapped by Lin Feng in front of so many people, he naturally couldn't just let it go.

Since Lin Feng was so ungrateful, he had no choice but to satisfy him!

"Lin Feng, you slapped me and want to leave just like that, do you think that's possible?"

Yun Jingchu asked coldly.

"What? You think one slap isn't enough and want a few more?"

Lin Feng asked.

Yun Jingchu's mouth twitched at these words.

Damn it!

Is that what I meant?

"Get lost, for the sake of our old school days, I don't want to embarrass you too much. You better not overestimate yourself."

Lin Feng said.

"Overestimate myself? I really don't know where you get the courage to talk to me like that?"

Yun Jingchu laughed in anger.

He clapped his hands, and suddenly seven or eight black-clad bodyguards rushed in from outside the private room.

These bodyguards were seven feet tall, with cold faces and bulging muscles, clearly not lacking in combat ability.

Seeing this scene,

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

"I said, with Chairman Yun's status, how could he not have bodyguards? Turns out they were hidden."

"Did you see that leading man? I've seen him on TV before, his name is Zhao Hu, not only a retired special forces soldier but also ranked in the top hundred in the Jiangnan Province Eight-City Joint Fighting Competition."

"Hiss~ So impressive! The Eight-City Joint Fighting Competition is highly competitive, with many martial arts experts! For Zhao Hu to rank in the top hundred, taking on ten at once is probably not a problem!"

"Chairman Yun is really wealthy, hiring bodyguards of this caliber must cost at least six to seven hundred thousand a year."

...

Hearing the crowd's discussions, Zhao Hu showed a disdainful expression.

A bunch of inexperienced bookworms!

What does taking on ten at once mean?

With you ordinary people, I could take on fifty or sixty without a problem!

Of course, he only thought this in his heart, naturally not saying it out loud.

After all, in today's society, being able to fight isn't much use!

Having money is the real deal!

Even with his skills, he still had to work for the wealthy to support his family.

"Chairman Yun, what happened?"

Zhao Hu asked loudly.

His large copper-like eyes swept over everyone in the room with disdain, as if a fire was burning in his pupils.

Those he looked at felt a chill, as if they were being stared down by a human beast, shivering with fear.

Even Li Xiaoke and Lin Yun Yao felt a bit scared, hiding behind Lin Feng.
