In the corridor outside the interview room.
At that moment, those burly men who had failed the interview had not yet left, but the expressions on their faces had changed from disdain and contempt to utter shock.
Their mouths were all agape as if they could shove in an apple.
This was because the door to the interview room was not entirely shut earlier, leaving a small crack.
And these strong men obviously wanted to witness Chen Feng getting beaten and humiliated, so they had all been peering through the crack.
Thus, they had seen everything that had unfolded inside the room.
First, Chen Feng easily dodged Wu Kun's punch, then forced Wu Kun to admit defeat with a single fist, shocking all the burly onlookers.
After all, these men had personally experienced Wu Kun's strength and taken quite the beating, so they knew exactly how formidable Wu Kun was.
But such a terrifying Wu Kun had been made to surrender by Chen Feng's punch, which left all of them too stunned to speak.
Only now did they realize that Chen Feng had not been posturing earlier, but was genuinely incredible!
At this moment, aside from shock, they had no other thoughts in their minds, and the mocking words they had previously directed at Chen Feng felt like invisible slaps landing harshly on their own faces.
Especially those few who had been the loudest in their mockery, their faces turned red as they hung their heads in shame, wishing they could crawl into a hole because this was a total slap in the face.
After Chen Feng stepped out of the interview room, the burly men quickly moved aside, pressing against the corridor walls, clearing a wide path for him.
Their gazes toward Chen Feng were filled no longer with contempt but with admiration and respect.
For in the Martial Arts World, the strong are absolutely respected.
Chen Feng looked at these burly men whose attitudes had done a complete one-eighty and just shook his head with a faint smile. He then proceeded to ignore these people and swiftly walked towards the exit of the company…
The next morning, Chen Feng got up early.
Although he had left the military, the years he had spent there meant that his biological clock hadn't changed, and rising early had become a habit.
Leaving the small hotel, Chen Feng headed to the nearby bus stop and took the public bus to Lin's Jewelry Company.
With it nearing seven o'clock, the bus was already packed with people, shoulders rubbing against shoulders, extremely crowded. Not to mention finding a seat.
Chen Feng also struggled for a while before he was able to squeeze in.
Fortunately, the journey was quite uneventful.
As time ticked away, they were getting closer to the destination.
But just then, a disturbance broke out on the bus.
"There's a thief, catch the thief!"
A sharp cry from a woman suddenly echoed throughout the bus, immediately drawing the attention of everyone, including Chen Feng.
Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see a middle-aged woman at the back of the bus, clutching a school-uniformed girl tightly and shouting loudly.
Clearly, the middle-aged woman was the owner of that voice, and the girl in the school uniform was the alleged thief she was accusing.
Chen Feng observed the girl carefully.
She was very pretty, with a delicate oval face, eyes clear as lake waters, a fair and delicate little nose, and very refined features.
Dressed in a school uniform, she exhibited an aura of pure and stunning beauty, and youthful vitality pervaded her being.
In any school, she would definitely be considered a goddess.
And yet, such a pure and beautiful girl was being called a thief, which filled Chen Feng with doubt.
However, Su Ya felt much more than just doubt—she felt unjustly accused.
The bus was too crowded, mostly with men, and she had finally found a spot next to a middle-aged woman to squeeze in, only to now be wrongly accused of being a thief; it was really unfortunate.
"I'm not a thief!" Su Ya shook her head, saying with a face full of injustice.
"Not a thief? You were the closest to me, and now my phone has gone missing. It must have been you who took it; you won't get away with this!" The middle-aged woman said angrily.
With the woman's accusation, the passengers roughly understood the situation.
Consequently, their suspicious gazes turned toward Su Ya, as, like the middle-aged woman said, Su Ya was the person with the highest likelihood of being a suspect.
However, Chen Feng didn't rush to a conclusion and continued to calmly observe the unfolding scene.
"A phone? I don't know anything about it!" Su Ya, seeing everyone's doubtful eyes on her, became even more aggrieved and promptly tried to explain.
"Bullshit, my phone is definitely on you right now. Do you dare let me search you?" The middle-aged woman was quite certain.
"I really didn't steal it, believe me, I didn't take your phone," Su Ya quickly shook her head, explaining again.
She wanted to clear things up quickly to avoid the ordeal of a search.
Not just Su Ya, but anyone wrongfully accused would resist such a personal invasion.
But the middle-aged woman wasn't listening to Su Ya's explanations. She turned to the other passengers on the bus and called out, "Everyone, look! She won't let herself be searched—it's clear she's got a guilty conscience. My phone must be on her!"
Hearing this, the passengers nodded in agreement, and their gaze toward Su Ya shifted from suspicion to conviction.
It was clear—if Su Ya wasn't the thief, why wouldn't she let herself be searched?
Feeling the gaze of the others on the bus, like they were looking at a thief, Su Ya's heart sank, "Please believe me, I really didn't steal her phone!"
"Well then, just let them search you. If they don't find anything, you'd be proven innocent, right?" A man spoke up.
"I... I didn't steal anything, why should I let someone search me? It's unfair to me!" Su Ya said, still feeling wronged.
"Huh, you a thief talking about fairness? Fine, if you don't want to be searched, that's okay. All you need to do is find someone on this bus to vouch for you, to say you didn't steal my phone, and that'll be evidence enough. Can you do that?" The middle-aged woman glared at Su Ya disdainfully and said with a sneer.
