Chapter 333: My Bad!

"Bang!"

The crisp, loud sound of a slap rang like a thunderclap, instantly drowning out all the noise.

The whole Ji Shi Tang instantly fell into a death‑like silence; everyone was stunned, eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

All the people from the three departments at this moment uniformly halted their actions, staring blankly at Jiang Feng.

They never expected Jiang Feng to dare slap someone in public, and that someone was the Provincial Governor's son!

Does he not know what situation he's in? And still dares to be so brazen!

Hua Lao and Hua Yingying were also stunned, but they both knew Jiang Feng wouldn't act without purpose, so they could only watch quietly.

Shen Junyao, who had just rushed forward, abruptly halted.

Although she hated Du Fusheng, she did not expect Jiang Feng to be so decisive and clean, slapping him away in one swift strike.

Du Fusheng covered his face, dumbfounded, standing like a wooden post.

His left cheek swelled quickly, the clear imprint of five fingers glaringly visible.

He's grown up this big, from childhood to now, who would dare touch a single finger of his?

In the Provincial Capital, even elders from other families must be courteous when they see him, let alone lay a hand on him.

After a full three seconds of stunned silence, Du Fusheng finally realized he had been slapped by Jiang Feng.

A wave of unprecedented humiliation and anger surged to his heart, breaking through the defenses of reason.

"Jiang Feng! You actually dared to slap me! I'll kill you!"

Du Fusheng, like an enraged beast, lunged at Jiang Feng, extending both hands to choke his neck.

His mind now held only one thought: to kill Jiang Feng and repay the humiliation he just suffered, double.

But as he was halfway through the pounce, Jiang Feng merely tilted his body slightly, easily evading the attack. Then, Jiang Feng reached out, seized and pinned Du Fusheng.

"All this fuss, if you ran home to hide, I might not even bother to trouble you."

Jiang Feng grinned, his gaze icy and bone‑cold.

"You still come here brazenly to flaunt your power—what? Do you really think I, Jiang Feng, am made of mud, easy to bully?"

Du Fusheng, pressed by Jiang Feng, winced in pain, teeth clenched.

He could clearly feel the force in Jiang Feng's hand, a power that seemed ready to crush his bones, leaving him unable to resist.

What terrified him even more was the intense killing aura emanating from Jiang Feng, making his whole body shiver, hair standing on end.

He instantly realized the danger; this man before him was not someone he could provoke.

He tried to run, but his body felt nailed to the ground, unable to move. Jiang Feng's hand was like a shackle, locking him firmly, leaving him unable to escape.

"Jiang Feng, what are you trying to do?"

Du Fusheng forced the aura of the Young Master Du, but his voice couldn't help trembling.

"I'll tell you, my father is Governor of Jiangnan Province Du Yuanshan! If you dare lay a finger on me, my father will never let you go! No one in Jiangnan Province can protect you!"

Shen Junyao snapped back to her senses, hurried forward a step, grabbed Jiang Feng's arm, and anxiously warned.

"Jiang Feng, don't act rashly! He may be a scumbag, but if you really kill him, the trouble will blow up! His father is the Provincial Governor; then no one can protect you!"

She knew Jiang Feng's strength wasn't weak, but the Du Family's power was massive, entrenched in Jiangnan Province for years.

Even if Jiang Feng could kill Du Fusheng, he would certainly not escape the Du Family's revenge; it would be a loss outweighing any gain.

Upon hearing Shen Junyao's words, Du Fusheng was even more terrified, his soul fleeing.

What Shen Junyao said, Jiang Feng still dared to kill… kill him?

"Jiang Feng, you… don't act rashly!"

Du Fusheng's voice was tinged with sobbing, no longer the arrogant blaze it once had.

His face was full of pleading.

"I was wrong, I truly was wrong! Don't kill me! If you kill me, it'll be a never‑ending feud with the Du Family! At most, I'll have these people withdraw right now, okay?"

His innards were now soaked in remorse.

Why did he bother coming to Ji Shi Tang to flaunt his power? He could have stayed behind the scenes, letting those departments deal with Jiang Feng while he reaped the benefits.

But his mind heated up, insisting on coming personally to humiliate Jiang Feng, and now he has placed himself in such a perilous situation.

He is a fine jade; why foolishly come to clash head‑on with the brick that is Jiang Feng?

Now, the jade didn't break the brick, but the jade itself is about to shatter, possibly losing even its own life!

Du Fusheng could no longer mind the Young Master's face; he roared at the heads of the three departments across, furious.

"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear me? Ji Shi Tang is also within your jurisdiction? Get out right now! Immediately!"

He now only wants these people to withdraw quickly, to calm Jiang Feng's fury and save his own life.

The heads of those three departments were already uneasy; the reason they dared to be so arrogant was because Du Fusheng backed them.

Now that Du Fusheng has been beaten like this, and he's telling them to leave, how could they still dare stay?

The scruffy‑bearded man from the Food Safety Administration hurriedly put on a smiling face.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Du, Mr. Jiang, we've investigated; Mr. Jiang's Ji Shi Tang has no problem, it's all a misunderstanding! We'll withdraw now! Right now!"

"Right, right, we received a false report and disturbed Mr. Jiang; we're leaving right away!"

The woman from the Tax Bureau also set aside her previous sternness, her face showing a flattering smile.

"Mr. Jiang, sorry for the disturbance; we'll lead our team out immediately and won't bother you again!"

Saying that, the three hurriedly called their staff.

"What are you all standing still for? Pack up quickly, retreat!"

The staff didn't dare to delay, hurriedly putting down what they held, the chaotic crowd preparing to leave.

But just as they reached the doorway, about to exit Ji Shi Tang, Jiang Feng suddenly spoke.

"Wait."

Just two simple characters, yet like an invisible barrier, made everyone stop their Footsteps.

The staff subconsciously turned their heads, looked at Jiang Feng, their eyes full of fear.

Du Fusheng also froze.

"Jiang Feng, I really was wrong, I have already let them go, what else do you want? Please, spare me!"

He is truly scared now, Jiang Feng's gaze is too terrifying, he fears that if Jiang Feng gets angry, he will really kill him.

Jiang Feng ignored Du Fusheng's pleas, merely scanning his gaze over the Medicine scattered on the Ground.

"Turning my shop into this, smashing my Medicine, damaging my belongings, now you just brush it off and want to leave—do you think that's such a good thing?"

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, the heads of those departments' faces instantly turned sour.

They know that today's hurdle probably won't be so easy to get past.

Du Fusheng was even more frantic, sweating profusely.

"Jiang Feng, whatever the loss, I'll pay! I'll pay double! As long as you let them go, let me go, name any amount, I'll give it!"
