At the entrance of the supermarket, four eyes locked in a stare.
It seemed that they had noticed him too.
Their eyes flashed with brief surprise.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Clang!
The rolling shutter door of the supermarket was suddenly pulled down by one of the men, forcefully blocking the inside view from the outside.
The loud noise startled Aunt Zhang, who was arranging products on the shelves. She quickly walked over, still holding two cans of yellow peach.
"Xiaofeng, why did you suddenly close..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Zhang's face turned pale, freezing in place.
Looking around, she saw why.
The two men, both wearing masks and caps, after closing the shutter, suddenly pulled out spring-loaded knives from their waistbands.
One stood by the shutter door, pointing at Chen Feng, while the other walked toward Aunt Zhang.
"Hurry up, get the money, move quickly!"
TL/N: Dude seriously, they're robbing a fucking convenience store...
The men's vicious voices were familiar to Chen Feng, as if he had heard them somewhere.
Thud!
The yellow peach cans dropped to the floor, their metal lids dented.
The supermarket was being robbed!
Aunt Zhang, who was in the shelves area, trembled in fear, her face pale.
Seeing the man pointing a knife at her and stepping closer, she froze in fear, her legs shaking uncontrollably. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Don't call the cops if you want to live."
"Be obedient, put the money in."
The man wearing a cap at the cash register continued to threaten and urged Chen Feng, placing a red plastic bag in front of him.
At this moment, there were no other customers in the supermarket. After the shutter door was closed, the outside world was unaware of the situation inside.
With a blank expression, Chen Feng was slightly irritated.
The blade pointed at him, and he reluctantly opened the cash drawer at the register.
Inside, there was quite a bit of loose cash, mostly in five and ten yuan bills, with fifty and one-hundred yuan bills scattered among them.
All totaled, there was around two or three thousand yuan.
"Hurry up!"
"Stop trying to play tricks on me!"
The man at the register became impatient, his voice growing more aggressive.
While speaking, he even swatted Chen Feng's head as a warning.
This caused Chen Feng to pause, and he looked up at the man.
"What the fuck are you looking at!?"
"Money! I told you to get the money!"
"And the cigarettes behind you, Tianhua, Lianhua, Chongjiu, grab as many as you can, quickly!"
The man waved his spring knife at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng glanced at the shelf area.
Aunt Zhang, terrified, shook her head slightly, her eyes pleading with him, signaling him not to act rashly.
The other man, seeing that she was powerless to resist, grabbed a few large bags of betel nuts.
"Damn it, you're just standing there, huh?"
"Do you believe I'll stab you right now?"
Seeing Chen Feng hesitate to grab the money, the man at the register shouted angrily.
The spring knife wavered in his hand, as though he was about to punish Chen Feng.
Suddenly, a loud crack sounded!
Before the man at the register could finish speaking, his wrist suddenly hurt, and when he looked down, he saw Chen Feng had already seized his wrist holding the spring knife.
Four eyes locked, cold light flashing.
"Are you spoiled or what?"
"Is this how you were raised?"
Bam!
With a fierce yank, Chen Feng unleashed his full 8.9 strength attribute, instantly slamming the man's hand down onto the cash register.
The spring knife flew from his hand, and the man's face turned pale with shock.
Before he could fight back, a large hand reached out, grabbing his head.
Then, with a powerful bang, his head was slammed into the metallic countertop.
Thud!!
The dull sound echoed, and the cash register's metal surface slightly dented.
The man's cap flew off as his body slumped, and the supermarket fell into eerie silence.
"Damn it!"
The other man cursed, his eyes filled with hesitation, but in the end, he dropped the betel nuts and charged forward with his spring knife.
"Let go of him!"
He barked, trying to sound menacing.
Chen Feng remained calm, ignoring the man who was knocked unconscious, he steadied himself on the counter and leaped toward the front.
The spring knife stabbed toward him, but Chen Feng instinctively sidestepped, his knowledge of martial arts taking over.
Whoosh!
The blade missed, and Chen Feng's gaze grew colder.
Without hesitation, he threw a powerful punch.
Boom!!
The punch landed on the man's chin, a tooth flying out, mixed with blood.
The man staggered back, toppling a shelf and collapsing onto the floor, unconscious.
The sound of falling goods echoed, and Aunt Zhang, sitting on the floor, stared in shock.
With wide eyes, she saw the strong figure cast a shadow under the lights, as the yellow peach cans were picked up once more.
The familiar yet unfamiliar young man reached out, calmly speaking:
"Call the cops... Aunt Zhang."

More than half an hour later.
Personnel from the Safety Bureau and the supermarket manager, Liu Fang, arrived.
The rolling shutter door was opened, and the two criminals sat with their heads lowered, hands and feet bound by white ties.
Aunt Zhang, still pale, hadn't recovered, but silently started to pick up the fallen goods.
The strong young man stood expressionless, but everyone around, after watching the surveillance footage, couldn't help but look at him with more respect.
"Impressive."
"This guy must practice some kind of martial arts, right?"
A worker from the Safety Bureau remarked, with some admiration for Chen Feng, who nodded slightly in response.
Liu Fang, standing nearby, looked a bit agitated, but after confirming that neither Chen Feng nor Aunt Zhang were hurt, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"These two are repeat offenders with a long criminal record."
"One is called Huang Hu, and the other is Zhou Xiaoshan."
One of the Safety Bureau members, named Xiang Jianjun, was a man in his forties.
He quickly accessed the criminals' identities and criminal history using his smart wristband.
Chen Feng wasn't surprised; once the masks were removed, he recognized the two men immediately.
They were the same thugs he had encountered in the alley, only without their leader Zhao Jin this time.
"Director, how will they be dealt with?" Liu Fang asked.
"They'll go to jail."
"Robbery and intentional harm are serious crimes in our country. Even though they didn't succeed, they'll still get at least three to five years."
Xiang Zhiwei explained, and both Liu Fang and Aunt Zhang relaxed a little.
Chen Feng, however, looked out the supermarket window.
It was nearly midnight, with few pedestrians and vehicles outside.
But he couldn't help but think about the two thugs. They were always following their leader Zhao Jin.
He wondered if today's incident had anything to do with him.
Thinking this, he spoke up to Xiang Jianjun, so as not to miss any clues.
"Alright, I'll interrogate them further and let you know if I find anything."
"That's it, the report is done. I'll take them away. If you need anything, just contact me."
Xiang Jianjun nodded and didn't stay long. After giving a couple of instructions, he and another officer left with the criminals.
"Xiao Feng, you did great today! I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"
"You're really amazing!"
After seeing the Safety Bureau leave, Liu Fang quickly returned to praise Chen Feng.
"I've already talked to the boss. Here's two thousand yuan in cash as a reward."
"And I'll upgrade your employee card, so from now on, you'll get a 30% discount on all purchases."
"What do you think?"
"Thank you, Sister Liu."
Chen Feng nodded lightly, grateful for the reward.
Soon, he received a notification for the bank transfer. It was time for him to leave work.
"Let's go, go home and rest properly."
"You're our hero today."
Liu Fang said with a smile, looking at Chen Feng with admiration.
Without saying much, Chen Feng nodded slightly.
A moment later, pushing aside his distractions, he left and headed home.
