Ugh, isn't that how it's always written in novels? Liu Yuan was really looking forward to Shen Sheng's next move.

"Smack—"

Shen Sheng slammed his hand down and let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Yuan's face turned red, extremely red, even... faintly tinged with purple.

The fan of Shen Sheng.

"Brother Sheng, what are you doing?!"

Liu Yuan's head was thrown to the side by Shen Sheng's slap, and she felt a buzzing in her head, unable to react for a moment.

Shen Sheng's slap was extremely powerful, so strong that Liu Yuan's vision went black.

"Damn it, you really are an idiot, just like they said."

Shen Sheng shook his hand, his disgust evident in his expression. "How long has it been since you brushed your teeth? You have bad breath, you know that!"

"Oh dear... I really am."

Shen Sheng spat on the ground, speechless.

Liu Yuan's bad breath... it really felt like a biological weapon, making Shen Sheng's nose sting and almost bringing tears to his eyes.

"Shen Sheng... I'm speaking up for you, how could you do this?"

Liu Yuan covered her face, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Shen Sheng.

"I don't care about you! That's my brother. Who do you think you are, interfering in our brotherly affairs?"

Shen Sheng rolled his eyes and moved away from Liu Yuan.

"He's really out of his mind..."

Shen Sheng muttered to himself, looking utterly speechless.

Then, Shen Sheng walked up to Lin Feng, bowing and scraping as he said, "Brother Feng, I was wrong about what happened earlier, and I apologize. As for Liu Yuan, who offended you earlier, I've already taught her a lesson. Are you satisfied now?"

Although Shen Sheng was a straightforward person, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend Lin Feng.

Not only is Shen Sheng someone you can't afford to offend, but even his biggest backer, Shen Ning, is someone you can't afford to offend either.

Therefore, Shen Sheng naturally abandoned his previous arrogance and began to surround Lin Feng, begging for his forgiveness.

Lin Feng nodded, a smile appearing on his face. He looked at Shen Sheng with a half-smile and said, "You... are quite good at changing your tune with the wind. Not bad, not bad."

"I'm glad Brother Feng is satisfied!"

When Shen Sheng saw Lin Feng smile, he instantly felt relieved.

Immediately, Shen Sheng rubbed his hands together and, disregarding everything else, stayed by Lin Feng's side, intending to continue acting as his lapdog.

"This Shen Sheng... he really is a scumbag."

Standing at the door, Wu Yuan and his companions, who had been watching the show for a while, naturally took in this scene as well.

Wei Zhen shrugged and agreed, saying, "He's ruthless and cold-blooded enough. He's really something."

Qi Xichen frowned and whispered to the others, "Don't you guys think... Fengzi has changed?"

"He seems different now than before."

"I feel the same way. When Lin Feng was smiling just now, I don't know why, but a chill rose from the bottom of my heart, as if... I was being watched by a wolf."

Wu Yuan stroked his chin, staring intently at Lin Feng, and said this.

"Could it be... that the current Fengzi is the real him?"

The group shifted their gaze forward, landing on Lin Feng's face, only to see him smiling and talking to Shen Sheng.

Lin Feng smiled extremely gently, as if he greatly admired Shen Sheng.

For no apparent reason, a chill crept into their hearts.

At this moment, the cleaning staff from Hill Restaurant also arrived at Room 1 and quickly began cleaning.

In no time, the No. 1 room was cleaned spotlessly.

It was as if no one had ever been there.

"Young Master Lin, please take a look... are you satisfied?"

Shen Ning smiled ingratiatingly, watching Lin Feng cautiously.

"Hmm, not bad."

Lin Feng glanced at it casually, then said, "It's just... a pity about all the gifts I prepared for my friends."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, whatever the value of the gifts you lost, I will compensate you three times the highest market price!"

Shen Ning lowered her head and quickly said.

"That's good."

Lin Feng turned around and waved to Qi Xichen and the others, signaling them to come over.

"Well... we won't disturb you any longer. Dishes will be served shortly. Farewell."

Shen Ning was a perceptive person. After seeing this scene, he wanted to take Shen Sheng and his group of cronies and leave.

"etc."

Lin Feng suddenly spoke up, saying, "Keep your brother here. I like him quite a bit and would like to be friends with him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ning's heart sank to the bottom.

"Young Master Lin, you can't do this... He's my only younger brother!"

"Hey, Mr. Shen, what's all the excitement about?"

Wu Yuan stepped forward and put his arm around Shen Ning's shoulder, saying, "Our Brother Feng just wants to make friends with your brother, it's okay."

For some reason, after witnessing another side of Lin Feng, Wu Yuan and the others all felt a sense of estrangement towards him.

It's like a flock of sheep suddenly discovering that their companion, with whom they spend all day grazing, is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Several people felt a deep-seated aversion to this feeling, so they didn't think about it too deeply and made up an excuse to deceive themselves.

For example, Wu Yuan genuinely believed that Lin Feng wanted to be friends with Shen Sheng, which is why he made that request.

Even though... the reason is so lame that it makes one want to laugh.

"No, you don't understand..."

Shen Ning swallowed hard and spoke almost in a murmur.

Shen Ning's face was pale, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Having spent so many years navigating the complexities of society, Shen Ning possessed a keen eye and naturally recognized that Wu Yuan and his companions were merely ordinary people.

However, Lin Feng is different.

If Shen Ning needs to rely on the Lin family, then she must rely on the Lin family's future heir—Lin Feng.

Therefore, how could Shen Ning, who was already a shrewd person, not understand what Lin Feng was thinking at this moment?

It seems that Lin Feng is determined to teach Shen Sheng a lesson.

"What's wrong, Mr. Shen? I'm not some big tiger, I'm not going to eat your brother."

Lin Feng smiled, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, leave your brother here. There won't be any problems."

"Yeah, brother, just let me stay here."

Upon hearing that Lin Feng wanted to be friends with him, Shen Sheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said so, afraid that Shen Ning would disagree.

This is a chance to make friends with the eldest son of the Lin family!

If I can seize this opportunity, won't I be able to act like a tyrant in Rongcheng from now on?

In the entire city of Fuzhou, no one dared to control him anymore!

"Hey, you idiot, what do you know?"

Shen Ning got angry and slapped Shen Sheng on the back of the head with such force that Shen Ning's hand hurt.
