Chapter 8: Don't Cry, I'll Take You Home
Bang!
With a casual toss, Lin Feng sent the two henchmen flying more than ten meters away, slamming into the ground with a sickening thud. Blood oozed from their noses and mouths as they lay motionless, their fate uncertain — whether they were dead or alive, no one could tell.
Then, Lin Feng turned his gaze to the rest of the group, his eyes as cold as ice from the deepest pits of hell. The chill in them was enough to make anyone's heart race with fear.
The leader, "Chicken Brother," narrowed his eyes. He felt a trace of danger from Lin Feng, but he wasn't scared. After all, what could one person do? No matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly fight against so many men. His underlings were armed with steel knives, and he was confident in his position.
With just one word, he could have Lin Feng hacked to pieces. But before that, he needed to figure out who Lin Feng really was.
"You brat," Chicken Brother sneered, "Who are you? How dare you interfere with the affairs of my Three Mouths Hall?"
"Three Mouths Hall?"
Lin Feng's mind raced as he searched for any information about this gang. But nothing came to mind. It was normal, he thought. Ten years ago, he knew nothing about this kind of underworld business.
Behind them, Li Xiaoke's face immediately turned pale when she heard the name "Three Mouths Hall." Her voice trembled as she asked, "You guys are from the Three Mouths Hall?"
"Heh... The little girl knows something after all," Chicken Brother sneered.
Lin Yunyao's heart tightened with worry. She turned to Li Xiaoke and asked, "Is the Three Mouths Hall really that powerful?"
"Actually, I'm not entirely sure," Li Xiaoke exhaled deeply, her voice filled with nervousness. "But I've heard about them from a roommate in the dorm."
She paused, glancing nervously at Chicken Brother before continuing, "I've heard that the president of our student council, Tan Ziming, is the son of one of the Three Mouths Hall's leaders. They say that Tan Ziming is incredibly influential — no one dares to provoke him. Even the higher-ups in the school have to bow their heads when they see him and call him 'Young Master Tan.'"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunyao instinctively covered her mouth in shock.
"One of the leaders' sons is that powerful?" she murmured in disbelief.
Li Xiaoke nodded gravely. "Yes... I've heard that even the police avoid getting involved with them. If someone crosses them, they'll make sure that person disappears without a trace."
Lin Yunyao's mind raced. If a son of one of the leaders had so much power, how terrifying must the entire Three Mouths Hall be? No wonder even the police were reluctant to interfere.
She was scared, and suddenly realized that her stubborn resistance seemed like a joke. The most important thing was, she didn't want her brother to get into trouble!
Her brother had come to save her twice in a row. Even though the ice in her heart was still cold, it was beginning to melt.
"Lin Feng, let it go..." Lin Yunyao said nervously.
Lin Feng turned around, surprised by his sister's words. This was the first time she had主动 spoken to him! Although she didn't call him "brother," her tone had clearly softened, and that last sentence was obviously showing concern for him.
At that moment, he even felt a bit thankful to Chicken Brother and his gang. After all, even the most useless scum has its use!
"Let it go? You want me to just let this go after you've beaten up my two men like this? You think it's that easy? No way! If I don't get at least a hundred or two hundred thousand, this matter is far from over!" Chicken Brother sneered when he heard Lin Yunyao's words.
"Indeed, it's not over! Anyone who dares to bully my sister will have only one outcome."
Lin Feng said these words calmly, then without hesitation, he crouched down with one leg, using his strength to shoot out like an arrow leaving the bow, charging directly at Chicken Brother and his men.
In truth, with his strength, a casual swipe would have been enough to wipe out this group effortlessly. But he didn't want to scare his sister and her friend.
"Hmph! Ignorance breeds fearlessness!" Chicken Brother snorted and waved his hand.
Immediately, his group of subordinates drew their steel knives and grinned, charging toward Lin Feng. Eight big men, each armed with a blade!
Eight against one! It seemed like a guaranteed win!
But the next moment...
*Bang!*
*Boom!*
*Crack!*
The eight burly men with knives were completely outmatched by Lin Feng!
His expression was as cold as ever, landing punch after punch, knocking the "tough guys" to the ground one by one. In less than ten seconds, all eight men were down, their bones broken in who-knows-how-many places. They coughed up blood non-stop, their faces and bodies mutilated, a gruesome sight that made the onlookers' skin crawl.
"Woah… He's so strong!"
Li Xiaoke watched in stunned silence, deeply shocked by the scene before her.
Is this really happening, or is it just some kind of movie scene?
Her bright eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, and she couldn't help but feel that this scruffy, melancholy man suddenly became incredibly handsome in her eyes.
Could this really be Xiao Yao's brother?
Lin Yunyao was equally stunned. After what happened last night, she already knew that her brother was quite capable, but she never imagined that he had become this strong! To take on eight men so easily and effortlessly—it was beyond her expectations!
Such a person… would he really come back just to fight over demolition compensation?
"No... it's impossible!"
Chicken Brother was completely dumbfounded, his body trembling in fear.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was just too exaggerated. Even within his gang, few people had the strength to match this!
"It's your turn now!"
Lin Feng's voice was calm as he turned his gaze toward Chicken Brother.
Chicken Brother shuddered and quickly stepped back, finally falling onto his backside. Faced with such a terrifying presence, he had no will to resist.
"Y-You... don't come any closer!"
*Slap!*
Lin Feng slapped Chicken Brother with a force so great that he was sent flying four or five meters. His teeth were scattered across the ground, and it was impossible to tell how many he had lost.
But Chicken Brother didn't dare say a word. He struggled to get up, repeatedly kowtowing and trembling as he spoke:
"Bro... I was wrong! I know I was wrong. If I had known you were this powerful, I wouldn't have dared to touch your family, even if you killed me!"
Lin Feng remained expressionless, stepping firmly on Chicken Brother's face.
At that moment, Lin Yunyao and Li Xiaoke both screamed in terror:
"Lin Feng, be careful!"
"Uncle, be careful!"
Lin Feng glanced up, and his eyes narrowed when he saw the operator of the excavator inside the machine, manipulating the bucket to charge at him.
At the sight of this, a flicker of excitement appeared in Chicken Brother's eyes. If he weren't being stepped on, he would have jumped up in excitement!
"Oh, so you think you're tough, huh? Let's see who's tougher—*you* or the excavator!"
However, the next moment...
With a calm expression, Lin Feng extended one hand. The long, jade-like fingers of his hand met the excavator's bucket with a *thud*.
*Bang!*
A violent, muffled sound exploded in the air.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the massive excavator bucket, which was capable of crushing concrete, came to a complete stop in mid-air!
No matter how the excavator's engine roared or how thick clouds of smoke poured out, the bucket remained perfectly still, completely halted by Lin Feng's hand, which gripped it as though it were made of stone.
At this sight, both the excavator operator and Chicken Brother swallowed nervously.
Lin Yunyao and Li Xiaoke, too, covered their mouths in shock, their bright eyes wide open in disbelief...
This... this can't be real, can it?
Is this something a human can actually do?
"Is it fun?" Lin Feng turned his gaze toward the driver in the cab and asked, his tone still calm.
"I... I... I... No, it's not fun at all!"
"Waaah, it's not fun! I don't want to play anymore, I just want to go home!" The driver, unable to comprehend what was happening, started crying in fear, his body trembling as he tried to move, but his legs wouldn't cooperate.
"Don't cry. I'll take you home," Lin Feng said, bending down to pick up a small stone from the ground. He flicked it toward the driver with a gentle motion.
