Chapter 10: Three Kicks

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The knocking on the door continued, and along with it came endless verbal abuse.

Judging by the tone of their voices, there was more than one person, and they all seemed to be a bit drunk.

"Brother, what's going on outside?"

At this moment, Ye Linger suddenly opened the door, a look of obvious fear on her face.

Ye Feng got out of bed, patted Ye Linger on the shoulder, and comforted her: "It's nothing, don't be afraid. The sound of the knocking becomes very faint by the time it reaches here; it should be aimed at the neighbors."

"The neighbors?"

Suddenly, as if Ye Feng had thought of something, he rushed out.

If he remembered correctly, the person living next door should be the beautiful woman who saved him yesterday!

Seeing Ye Feng like this, Ye Linger followed him out.

Just as they opened the door, they saw three drunk men pounding on the neighbor's door, their mouths filled with all sorts of foul, insulting language.

The door and the walls had also been splashed with foul-smelling dirty water; it looked like they were the ones who had done it.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Ye Feng frowned. These three men were burly and wearing white undershirts; at a glance, they didn't look like good people.

"None of your business! Get lost, old man, or I'll beat you up too!"

Hearing Ye Feng's voice, the three turned around in unison. One of them, who was clenching his fist, said to Ye Feng viciously; judging by his appearance, he seemed to be the leader.

"What you are doing is seriously disturbing the peace!"

Ye Feng also clenched his fists, staying on guard against them at all times.

"Disturbing the peace?"

"Hahaha..."

Hearing this, all three of them burst into loud laughter.

Following that, the leading man swayed as he walked toward Ye Feng, shoved Ye Feng's shoulder, spat, and said viciously: "We are just disturbing the peace, what can you do about it?"

Ye Feng lightly brushed off his shoulder and said with a frown: "If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for calling the police!"

"That's right, we're going to call the police!"

Ye Linger, who was behind him, poked her head out and made a move to take out her phone to dial the police.

"You stinking bitch, screw you!"

Seeing Ye Linger take out her phone, the man thrust out his fist, cursing and swearing.

Ye Feng turned his head and said to Ye Linger: "You go home first!"

Immediately after, he kicked the leading man, sending him flying.

Seeing their boss get hit, the remaining two also rushed over with their fists clenched.

Ye Feng didn't hold back either; he kicked one of the men away, then dodged the other man's punch and landed another kick, and all three of them were lying on the ground.

After these three kicks, the three men sobered up quite a bit. They pulled telescopic batons from their crotches and rushed back up, cursing and swearing.

It was three more kicks, and with three "bang" sounds, the three of them were lying flat on the ground again.

"You, you..."

The three of them clutched their chests, their drunkenness completely gone.

Then, the leader glared at Ye Feng and threatened: "You just wait!"

"Let's retreat!"

Afterward, he waved to the two lackeys behind him and got up, ready to run.

Seeing the three of them about to run, Ye Feng immediately shouted at them: "Wait, did I say you could leave?"

The leader turned around and asked with a frown: "You've already beaten us, what else do you want?"

Ye Feng covered his nose, pointed to the place where they had splashed the dirty water, and said: "Clean this place up for me!"

Then, he turned around and walked straight into his home.

Seeing this, the three looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Perhaps due to the alcohol, or perhaps due to Ye Feng's deterrent power, in the end, the three did not choose to leave.

Before long, Ye Feng walked out carrying a bucket of water, with three rags inside the bucket.

Seeing the three of them dazed, Ye Feng shook the bucket in his hand: "What are you standing there for? Do you want to get kicked again?"

Hearing this, the leader tremblingly took the bucket and, under Ye Feng's direction, began to scrub the area covered in dirty water.

At this time, a woman with a graceful figure and a peerless face walked up from the stairs.

When she saw this scene, her pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

She stood at the bottom of the stairs, looked at the three men in undershirts working hard to clean, and then turned her gaze to Ye Feng, as if asking: "What is going on here?"

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Feng smiled quickly and said: "Miss Gu, you're back!"

Gu Ran pointed to the three men scrubbing the floor and asked in confusion: "What are they doing?"

"Just now they were pounding on your door, hurling insults, and splashing dirty water. Worried about your safety, I stepped in to stop them."

Ye Feng shook his head; he didn't know the specifics either, but saying it this way certainly wouldn't be a problem.

Gu Ran's brow furrowed even deeper. Why would someone come to her house to cause trouble out of the blue?

Could it have been sent by that competitor of hers?

That shouldn't be it!

That person should be above using such low-down tactics!

Then who else could it be?

After thinking of several people, Gu Ran couldn't come up with any conclusion, so she simply stopped thinking about it. When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, earth covers it—she, Gu Ran, was not afraid!

After clearing all her worries away, Gu Ran smiled sweetly at Ye Feng and said, "Thank you so much for today!"

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't saved me, I would probably be on the news by now!"

Hearing this, Gu Ran burst into a giggle, showing no signs of the fear caused by the troublemakers.

At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly thought of something and said to Gu Ran, "Right, how much was the medical bill yesterday? I'll transfer it to you."

Gu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Five hundred and eighty-one."

Ye Feng took out his phone, but just as he was about to transfer the money, he realized he didn't have this beauty's contact information, and he gave Gu Ran an awkward smile.

Seeing this, Gu Ran seemed to realize something; she tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly, "Why don't you scan me?"

Ye Feng nodded, his face turning slightly red.

This Gu Ran, with every smile and gesture, was actually tugging at Ye Feng's heartstrings!

When it came down to it, Ye Feng was just a fresh college graduate who only knew how to hold hands when dating; how could he possibly withstand the temptation of such a beauty?

Even if this was just the woman's unintentional behavior, for Ye Feng, the lethality was truly a bit high—after all, she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen, bar none!

After adding her as a friend, Ye Feng transferred the money directly. Immediately after, he seemed to think of something else and said to Gu Ran, who was standing at the stairwell, "Right, you probably haven't eaten yet, why don't you come to my place for a bite? My cooking is actually quite good!"

Seeming to feel that saying it this way was a bit improper, Ye Feng continued to add, "I don't mean anything else by inviting you; I just want to thank you for saving my life. Besides, having those people at your doorstep is quite dangerous!"

Hearing this, Gu Ran was silent for a moment, then she smoothed her brows and smiled, agreeing, "Okay!"
