Ling Feng's hand flicked, tossing Ling Hai's plump body away.
With a thud, Ling Hai's body came into intimate contact with the floor, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
"Where did this Pretty Boy come from!" It was only then that Ling Hai realized Ling Feng's presence, and couldn't help but rage, "Good for you, Liu Tingyu, I really thought you were some 'Pure Jade Girl.' To think you'd be hooking up with a Pretty Boy behind my back, you shameless little bitch!"
Ling Hai had long regarded Liu Tingyu as his private delicacy, so how could he not be infuriated by the sight of Ling Feng?
"This is my boyfriend!" Liu Tingyu clasped Ling Feng's hand and said, "You were harboring indecent intentions towards me, so isn't it right for my boyfriend to teach you a lesson?"
A faint fragrance wafted from Liu Tingyu's body to Ling Feng's nostrils, and at the same time, Ling Feng acutely felt his arm being squeezed against something soft and elastic.
But this amorous position did not bring Ling Feng any enjoyment, because he was more keenly aware of the involuntary trembling emanating from Liu Tingyu.
Had he not come today, the fate awaiting Liu Tingyu was all too imaginable.
Ling Feng had a favorable impression of this kind-hearted girl, and his dislike for Ling Hai, who was "occupying" his property, grew even stronger.
"Boyfriend?" Struggling to get up, Ling Hai pointed a wine bottle at Ling Feng and said, "Pretty Boy, I don't care what your name is or what you do! The woman by your side, I'm set on having her today. If you know what's good for you, get lost now, or I'll bust your head open!"
Liu Tingyu's body trembled, hearing the ferocity in Ling Hai's voice. Hesitating for a moment, she whispered in Ling Feng's ear, "Uncle, maybe you should go first, and remember to call the police for me, okay?"
Ling Feng was surprised; given the current situation, he could all too well imagine what would happen to Liu Tingyu if he left.
"Why?" Ling Feng said in a deep voice.
Biting her tender lips, Liu Tingyu said, "Ling Hai has a brother who's in the underworld. You won't be able to beat him. You should leave quickly!"
Ling Feng let out a deep sigh, patted Liu Tingyu on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, he won't succeed while I'm here!"
"Kid, it seems you won't shed a tear until you see your own coffin!" Seeing Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu whispering to each other, Ling Hai, consumed by jealousy, waved the wine bottle and said, "If I don't bust your head open today, you won't understand why flowers are so red! If I don't beat you to the ground, I'll take your surname!"
Ling Feng's eyebrows lifted, "Please don't, I beg you, definitely don't take my surname; I can't afford that kind of shame!"
Ling Hai's head spun as he burst into laughter, "I knew it, are you scared, you—no, wait, are you mocking me?"
Angered, Ling Hai pounced towards Ling Feng, the wine bottle aimed viciously at Ling Feng's head. If it had been an ordinary person, a bottle to the head would result in at least a concussion!
Ling Feng's footsteps shifted, and his body swayed, vanishing from in front of Ling Hai.
"Where did he go?" Ling Hai was startled, and then felt as if his arm was clamped in a pair of iron pincers: "Damn it, that hurts like hell, let go!"
Ling Feng stood behind him, having already snatched the wine bottle from Ling Hai's hand: "Let me tell you, that's not how you use a bottle!"
With that, Ling Feng swung his hand, smashing the bottle heavily on Ling Hai's head.
With a crack, the bottom of the bottle shattered, and Ling Hai screamed as blood flowed down his cheek.
The excruciating pain made him completely sober, "Stop! You...who are you? Do you know what my brother does for a living?"
Ling Feng indifferently said, "Let me tell you, what I hate the most is cowards like you, who are good for nothing but bullying women. What else can you do? See this bottle?"
Ling Feng toyed with the broken bottle, its jagged edges like sharp knives, "Inserting a bottle into someone's stomach like this maximizes the feeling of living being worse than dying! It can even let the person see their own intestines spilling out. Want to try?"
Looking at the lethal broken end, Ling Hai's legs went weak, "Big brother, I was wrong! I really was wrong. I shouldn't have had indecent thoughts about your girlfriend. Please let me go, I promise I'll never bother her again!"
Ling Hai was truly frightened, because he sensed an undisguised killing aura in Ling Feng's tone.
"Coward!" Ling Feng kicked him hard in the stomach, flipping Ling Hai over, "Get lost, and don't harass Liu Tingyu again! And remember this, my name is Ling Feng, and from now on, this house is mine!"
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" Ling Hai, crying bitterly, crawled out with his hands and feet.
Within less than ten seconds, Ling Hai had vanished from the room, running away.
"It's okay now," Ling Feng discarded the bottle into the trash can and turned to speak to Liu Tingyu.
Liu Tingyu's body trembled, and then she suddenly covered her face and burst into loud sobs.
Amidst her crying, endless fear and unease surfaced. Ling Hai had left, but the deep-seated fear in Liu Tingyu's heart gushed out like the tide, causing her to break down in tears.
Ling Feng sighed, fully understanding the fear and unease in Liu Tingyu's heart at that moment, "It's okay, relax. He won't bother you anymore! Stop crying."
"I'll cry if I want to!" Liu Tingyu squatted by the sofa, sobbing, "Why did this have to happen to me, why does everyone pick on me? What did I even do wrong? Wuu wuu wuu..."
Ling Feng, somewhat helplessly, said, "Stop crying, it's as if I've really bullied you!"
Liu Tingyu, wiping her tears, said, "How did you not bully me? You just saw everything, and still you say you didn't bully me?"
"Cough cough, that was an accident!" Ling Feng's face turned red as he spoke.
"Come here!" Liu Tingyu said to Ling Feng, none too pleased.
Ling Feng, touching his nose, approached Liu Tingyu. She grabbed his arm and murmured, "Don't move, just let me be quiet for a while, I'll be fine soon!"
Even though Ling Feng had threatened her just moments before, at this time, Liu Tingyu felt there was something reassuring about him.
"Can you tell me about your past?" After about ten minutes, Liu Tingyu's body finally stopped shaking. After changing her clothes and regaining her composure, she asked.
Ling Feng said indifferently, "My name is Ling Feng, and I am the owner of this house. It all started a long time ago! My family of three was attacked abroad, and except for me, both of my parents died. After years of moving from place to place, I finally returned home from abroad, but I didn't expect..."
"What's your relationship with Ling Hai?" Liu Tingyu's face showed hesitation.
"By blood, he's my cousin! But our two families have been estranged for a very long time," Ling Feng said, still indifferently.
