Chapter 226: The Head of the Family Clears the Way

A motorcade of black vehicles was seen speeding from the distance; leading them was a pitch-black Maybach, followed by Passats.

More than twenty cars drove onto the plaza, then all the doors opened, and bodyguard after bodyguard in suits stepped out; the man leading them was none other than the Head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Zhitian!

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Zhou Zhitian let out a violent shout, like a lion's roar, and instantly quelled the chaotic scene.

He then waved his hand sharply, and over a hundred bodyguards in suits rushed over, forcibly separating the tidal wave of fans and media reporters to clear a path.

"It's actually the Head of the Zhou Family!"

"What is the Head of the Zhou Family doing here?"

"This is too much, how can he do this!"

People on the plaza cursed in anger, but they only dared to run their mouths; they did not dare to lay a hand on the Zhou Family's bodyguards.

After all, these bodyguards were all Martial Artists, Zhou Zhitian himself was a powerhouse at the Martial Venerable realm, and the Zhou Family was a renowned local powerhouse in Jinling!

"Miss Lin is working so hard rehearsing here, preparing for the upcoming concert, yet you, as her fans, run here to cause trouble for her. Do you even have the nerve to say you support her?"

"In my opinion, you people are all anti-fans!"

Zhou Zhitian scolded them without the slightest courtesy, and not a single person on the plaza dared to talk back.

"Whoever dares to disturb the order here again, don't blame me, Zhou Zhitian, for being heartless!" Zhou Zhitian said heavily.

The fanatic fans on the plaza stopped making a scene, and the media reporters dared not act out of turn, so the surroundings quieted down, becoming orderly and well-organized.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, please," Zhou Zhitian said with a smile, making a gesture of invitation.

"Head of the Zhou Family, thank you," Lin Feng said.

"You are being too polite, Mr. Lin," Zhou Zhitian said with a chuckle.

Lin Feng, Lin Jingying, and Lin Wei, along with Chen Lei and the others, stepped onto the path cleared by the Zhou Family bodyguards and walked toward the other end of the plaza, with the surrounding fans and media reporters all watching them with focused attention.

Lin Jingying smiled and said: "Perhaps by tomorrow, the local newspapers in Jinling will publish news like this—'Great Star Lin Jingying makes a gorgeous appearance, Head of the powerful family Zhou Zhitian leads the way for her!'"

Walking beside her, Zhou Zhitian said: "You flatter me, Great Star Lin."

Lin Jingying looked at Lin Feng again and said: "Junior Brother, you can summon the Head of the Zhou Family with just one message; you have quite a lot of influence."

Before Lin Feng could say anything, Zhou Zhitian had already said: "Mr. Lin not only gifted me a Spirit Pill but also saved my life; how could I not repay such a great kindness? Besides, this kind of trivial matter is nothing to me at all."

Lin Jingying nodded and said: "That is true... but Junior Brother, I thought you would call people from the Divine Dragon Guard to maintain order; I didn't expect the person you invited to be the Head of the Zhou Family."

Lin Feng said: "Dragon Soul is the official Martial Artist department of the Dragon Kingdom; it is public property of the Dragon Kingdom, so how can it be used for private matters? Even if I am now a Dragon Soul War King, I cannot use the power of Dragon Soul for my own private affairs."

"I didn't expect you to be so rigorous, Junior Brother," Lin Jingying smiled.

"One cannot be anything but rigorous in such matters; if something goes wrong, it will cause trouble for Third Senior Sister," Lin Feng said with a serious face.

After leaving the plaza, there was no need for Zhou Zhitian to help clear the way anymore.

Thus, Zhou Zhitian took his people and left, while Lin Jingying, Lin Feng, and the others went to a nearby luxury restaurant.

"No need to open a private room, let's just eat in the lobby," Lin Feng said.

"Fine, we'll do as you say," Lin Jingying said.

Chen Lei and the dozen or so bodyguards sat at two tables, while Lin Jingying, Lin Feng, and Lin Wei sat at one table.

Lin Feng ordered a large portion of noodles, a fish, and two vegetable dishes for himself, while Lin Wei only ordered a portion of Mapo Tofu and a small bowl of Eight-Treasure Porridge for herself.

Lin Jingying ordered the least; she only ordered a small portion of mushroom soup with vermicelli for herself.

Looking at the pitifully small amount of food in front of Lin Jingying, Lin Wei said: "I thought I ate little enough, but I didn't expect you, Sister Lin, to eat even less than me. If you only eat this little, can you fill your stomach?"

"It would be a miracle if I could fill my stomach, but I am a big star; I must maintain my figure, and since the concert is coming up soon, I have to be even more careful," Lin Jingying explained.

"Being a star is really hard work," Lin Wei said.

"This is what they call 'ten minutes on stage, ten years of practice off stage,'" Lin Jingying said with a smile.

Lin Feng, however, wiped his mouth and said to Lin Wei: "Little Wei, stop sighing. No matter how hard it is to be a star, can it be harder than the working masses? Those people screwing bolts in factories, the porters carrying cement, and the construction workers building on sites have it much harder than her."

Lin Jingying said angrily: "Junior Brother, can you stop arguing with me at every turn?"

"I was just speaking my mind and telling the truth; don't take it to heart, Senior Sister," Lin Feng said.

"Hmph, I am very petty," Lin Jingying said with a huff.

Halfway through the meal, a voice suddenly came from afar.

"Holy crap, isn't that the big star Lin Jingying! Lin Jingying, hello, hello, I am the Young Master of the Dong Family, Dong Mingle; we met at the Head of the Zhou Family's banquet!"

"My birthday is in two months; can I invite you to attend my birthday party to cheer me on and liven things up?"

Dong Mingle ran over from afar, followed by two very alluring and sexy women.

"Young Master Dong, this is too much; hitting on another woman right in front of us, you don't consider our feelings at all."

"That's right, Young Master Dong, you're making us very embarrassed."

Dong Mingle scolded the two women without any courtesy: "Shut your mouths! This is a big star; can you even compare to her!"

Afterward, Dong Mingle said to Lin Jingying: "Great Star Lin, you were invited to attend the Head of the Zhou Family's birthday banquet; now that I am inviting you, you cannot refuse, otherwise you are being discriminatory."

Lin Jingying's brows furrowed, and the expression on her face was very displeased.

But before she could speak, Lin Feng said indifferently: "Dong Mingle, is your skin itching for a beating again?"

Only then did Dong Mingle notice that Lin Feng was also here, and his expression became extremely awkward!

"Mr... Mr. Lin, you are here too?" Dong Mingle said awkwardly.

"If I weren't here, would you be able to act presumptuously?" Lin Feng said with displeasure.

Dong Mingle was covered in sweat and hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant; how would I dare to act presumptuously? Mr. Lin, you have really misunderstood me."

"But didn't you just force my Senior Sister to attend your birthday party?" Lin Feng said.

"I wasn't forcing, I was inviting... forget it, forget it, just pretend I never said anything, I'll get lost right now."

Dong Mingle said with a fawning smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he dragged the two alluring women away without looking back.
