Upon hearing that Lu Feng was so wealthy and powerful, the group uttered a few harsh words and then turned and ran away.
Lu Feng parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and looked at the young man in front of him. His face was covered in blood from his nose, his hair was messy and torn, one of his teeth was knocked out, his clothes were ripped to shreds, and his body was covered in footprints and bruises.
He glanced at Lu Feng, who sat silently in the mud, blood trickling from his nose. He wiped it with his hand, and Lu Feng took a roll of tissues from the car and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe it off."
He wiped the blood from his nose and couldn't help but cry.
"Why are you crying? How old are you?" Lu Feng asked him.
I am twenty-two.
"Why did you get hit?" Lu Feng asked again.
"They asked me for money, some kind of protection fee. I said I didn't have any, and they beat me up." He sounded very aggrieved, panting heavily with anger, and said, "What did I do to deserve this? I'm just an honest person, and they don't treat people like this."
"What are you going to do if someone bullies you?" Lu Feng asked him.
"I...I...I'll kill him!!" the young man said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with malice.
"Dare you? Why didn't you fight back just now?" Lu Feng mocked. "If you had dared to fight back, would they have bullied you? Do you know what you looked like just now? You were sitting here like a punching bag. I saw them kicking your head and slapping your face. The sound could be heard from two miles away."
His fists clenched, his face contorted with fear, and he roared at Lu Feng, "I didn't! I'll go kill him!"
"Go, go kill him." Lu Feng stood up and said, "Get in the car, they haven't gone far, I can catch up in two minutes."
As Lu Feng spoke, he reached out and tugged at his clothes, pulling him towards the car. The man cowered in fear like a quail, as if he had seen hell, and cried out, "I'm scared, I won't go!"
"Don't dare? Why are you being so boastful?" Lu Feng released his hand and asked him, "If you don't dare, then stay far away from them in the future. If it doesn't work, then forget it."
“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s that I… am poor.” He sat on the ground and said, as if he had found an excuse for himself. “My mother said that my family is poor and I don’t dare to fight with others. If I hurt someone, I will have to pay compensation. I come from a humble background and I should always give others some leeway.”
"Are you being lenient with me? It's just money, right?" Lu Feng pointed at the car and said, "See that? A luxury car worth hundreds of thousands. I have money, I'll cover for you. Do you dare?"
"You're going to cover for me?" He looked at Lu Feng in disbelief.
“You said it, now that you have money, you dare to do it.” Lu Feng opened the car door, took out a wad of bundled banknotes from the glove box, and threw it at him, saying, “Ten thousand yuan, go slap someone.”
Clutching the wad of cash, he had no more excuses to back down. It was as if he had mustered the greatest courage of his life. He stood up, dusted himself off, and got into the car.
Lu Feng turned around on the spot, stepped on the gas and chased after the group of kids. He parked his car directly in front of their motorcycles, opened the door, and the young man got out.
"You fucking dare to come here again?" The leader of the thugs glared at him.
The young man instinctively shrank his neck, but the next moment he could no longer contain his anger. He yelled, "Fuck you!" and pounced on him like a madman, slapping him across the face with both hands.
The slaps came like raindrops, slapping wildly at the other person's head. Seeing this, the remaining people rushed up and started fighting.
He acted as if he didn't care about his life, hitting with extreme ruthlessness, roaring at the other person, "I'll kill you and pay you back, you son of a bitch!"
These men were just passing by and saw an honest man, hoping to get some pocket money. They had no intention of actually risking their lives. Seeing his state and with Lu Feng backing him up, they immediately dared not make a move and sped away on their motorcycles.
He was the only one left on the scene. This was a moment he had never experienced in his twenty-two years of life. He realized that these people could also be afraid, and that he himself was not afraid of anyone.
“From...from today onwards, I will not let anyone bully me.” He gasped for breath.
Lu Feng got out of the car and asked him, "What's your name?"
“Wang Chendong!” he replied.
“If you don’t want to be bullied, you have to strengthen yourself. Here’s over ten thousand yuan. Take it.” Lu Feng handed him the money and said, “Get yourself a new outfit. Since you’re not afraid anymore, those who bullied you before should take revenge. My contact information is on this. Keep it safe. Also, I’ll give you money later.”
Wang Chendong took a piece of paper with only a phone number on it, and was completely stunned as he held a wad of cash in his hand.
Lu Feng got into the car and drove away, leaving himself alone in the world. Lu Feng wasn't worried at all about him taking the money and leaving. People have desires, and once the valve of desire is opened, few people can control themselves.
A cowardly person will either remain cowardly for life, or once they are brave, they will never be able to accept their cowardice again. The same principle applies to wealth. This is why some wealthy people commit suicide even when they have millions in assets, wealth that ordinary people can never attain in a lifetime.
Being poor but stable is also a kind of happiness.
Looking at the money in his hand, Wang Chendong felt all the desires he had kept hidden in his heart surge up in an instant. He hailed a taxi and went straight to the bathhouse.
After washing up, he bought a new set of clothes and then went to find his childhood friend who had bullied him. When they met, the friend still mocked him. This time, Wang Chendong didn't waste any words and slapped him across the face without saying a word.
The two got into a fight, and in the end, he went all out, picking up a brick from the ground and knocking the other person to the ground.
