Chapter 196: Helping Out When Seeing Injustice

"Besides, it's not a major case; even if we arrest his subordinates, they'll be released before long, which is why the White River Society still exists to this day."

Lei Dong said with a bitter smile, his tone still carrying a sense of helplessness.

"Mr. Lin, I won't hide it from you; in truth, I've long been fed up with the White River Society, but they have never exposed any evidence of their crimes, so even I cannot act rashly without a reason."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "I understand, let's leave it at that."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng briefly explained the situation regarding the White River Society to Lin Wei.

Lin Wei said indignantly, "This White River Society is too detestable. If they have the ability, they should go up against those high-ranking officials and nobles; what kind of skill is it to bully ordinary commoners?"

"Forget it, let's eat; this matter has nothing to do with us," Lin Feng said.

Only then did Lin Wei finally continue to savor the hot and sour noodles in her bowl.

Over ten minutes passed, and Lin Feng and Lin Wei had both finished eating, so they prepared to pay the bill and leave.

Yet, unexpectedly, at this very moment, several young men with hair dyed in various colors strode in from outside.

Furthermore, the yellow-haired leader had barely entered the small eatery when he arrogantly kicked out, sending the table closest to the entrance crashing to the floor.

A massive clanging sound instantly rang through the entire small eatery, and the proprietress and that little girl ran out from the back kitchen together.

"Huang... Brother Huang, it's you. Are you here to eat? Find a place to sit, I'll get you..."

The proprietress squeezed out a fawning smile, but the yellow-haired youth didn't give her any face at all, spraying spit as he cursed, "Who told you I was here to eat? This master is here to collect money!"

"Li Rong, when do you plan to pay back the money you owe our boss? Do you know how long you've been dragging this out!"

The proprietress Li Rong said with a troubled expression, "Brother Huang, I've been tight on cash lately and haven't earned anything. Can you give me a little more time..."

"You said the same thing last month, and now you dare to say it again? I think you're a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water! Do you think just because you're a woman, I really wouldn't dare to hit you?"

As soon as the yellow-haired youth finished speaking, he slapped her, sending Li Rong tumbling to the ground.

The little girl immediately burst into tears and shouted, "Don't hit my mom... you big bad guys, stop, or I'm calling the police..."

"You little brat, you dare to threaten me?"

The yellow-haired youth sneered and grabbed the little girl by the throat.

Lin Feng originally didn't want to get involved; after all, it is only right and proper to pay back debts.

But now that this yellow-haired man had laid hands on the little girl, he couldn't hold back, and Lin Wei was already furious.

"Stop it!"

Lin Wei stood up abruptly and scolded.

The yellow-haired man immediately looked over at Lin Wei, and as he appraised her pure face and curvaceous figure, his expression turned lewd to the extreme.

"Yo, I didn't notice there was such a pretty chick here! Little girl, do you know who we are? Do you know the consequences of going against us?" the yellow-haired man said very arrogantly.

"You are from the White River Society, aren't you?" Lin Wei asked.

"That's right, we are all from the White River Society, and I am the third leader of the White River Society, Huang Ya!"

Huang Ya laughed and said to Lin Wei, "You want me to stop? That's fine, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What condition?" Lin Wei asked again.

"Spend a night with me... no, one night is too little, you'll have to spend a month with me. As long as you obey me, do whatever I tell you, and serve me comfortably, then I will..."

Before Huang Ya could finish his sentence, Lin Feng stood up and strode over.

The next moment, Lin Feng slapped Huang Ya directly across the face, sending the guy flying sideways!

Lin Feng then snatched the little girl back with quick reflexes and pushed her toward Lin Wei.

"Step back, leave the rest to me," Lin Feng said.

Lin Wei naturally nodded repeatedly and hurriedly hugged the little girl to hide behind.

Huang Ya was furious now; he clutched his swollen face, pointed at Lin Feng with his other hand, and roared, "You damn bastard, you dare to lay a hand on me? Do you know who I am!"

"I don't care who you are!" Lin Feng said bluntly.

"I think you're tired of living! Get him, all of you, beat him hard! I'll take responsibility if someone dies!"

At Huang Ya's command, the thugs surrounding him all rushed forward, pouncing on Lin Feng like wolves and tigers.

It must be said that the sight of so many people charging at once was quite shocking; the proprietress Li Rong and her daughter were both terrified.

But Lin Feng was completely unafraid, and Lin Wei was not worried in the slightest.

After all, she knew Lin Feng's strength; dealing with these thugs who could only bully ordinary people was no pressure at all.

Sure enough, Lin Feng took them down one punch at a time, as if he were beating up children, knocking all the thugs to the ground; in less than ten seconds, the small eatery was littered with people lying in every direction.

"Still want to fight?" Lin Feng said playfully.

Huang Ya's face turned ashen, his whole body trembling; watching Lin Feng walk toward him step by step, he shouted with a sobbing tone, "Who... who exactly are you!"

"Who I am is not something you are qualified to know," Lin Feng said coldly, and with one kick, he sent him flying backward.

Blood spilled from Huang Ya's mouth, and the intense pain caused his face to twist.

"Stop hitting me... if you keep hitting me, someone will really die..." Huang Ya said in pain.

"Didn't you just say you'd take responsibility if someone died?" Lin Feng sneered.

"I was just joking... Big Brother, please let me go, I really know I was wrong, I'll definitely steer clear of you in the future," Huang Ya said with a miserable face.

"Get out!"

With a violent shout from Lin Feng, Huang Ya hurriedly scrambled up from the ground, clutching his chest as he stumbled toward the outside.

The thugs also helped each other up from the ground and left with their tails between their legs.

As soon as Huang Ya and the others left, the little girl, with tears still hanging on her face, shouted happily, "Big brother, you're so amazing! You're really too cool!"

Lin Feng patted the little girl's head and then walked over to the proprietress Li Rong.

"Are you alright?" Lin Feng asked.

Li Rong said gratefully that she was fine, then climbed up from the ground.

But once she stood up, she sighed again.

"Can you explain it now? How exactly did you provoke the people from the White River Society, and how much money do you owe them?" Lin Feng asked.

Li Rong spoke on and on with a sobbing tone, and it took a long time before she finally finished.

Lin Feng and Lin Wei finally understood what was going on, and they also finally knew why Li Rong's craftsmanship was so good, yet business at this shop was so poor.
