Chapter 22 – Alone In Enemy Lines

“Who are you all? Let me go, I’m going to call the police to arrest you…”
Qin Feng frowned when he heard Yun Xiao’s scream and Ma De Hu’s unbridled laughter.
Qin Feng made preparations to face Ma De Hu since the mere son of an underworld gang leader dared to be so impudent towards him. If Qin Feng was like the person he was before, he would not have entered the enemy lines by himself. He simply would have asked Uncle Fu to deal with it.
However, Qin Feng’s heart softened after hearing Yun Xiao’s desperate and dismal cries for help. Moreover, he also had the quest to make Yun Xiao have a favourable impression of him. The quest time limit of 10 days was quickly approaching.
If he failed the quest, he would be despised by all the females around him for 1 year, which Qin Feng simply couldn’t risk.
Perhaps this risk was a great opportunity.
Qin Feng stopped hesitating and pressed down on the accelerator, and the Lamborghini shot through the bustling streets. 15 minutes later, he arrived at the Number 83 abandoned factory.
By this time, night had fallen, and it was quite dark in the suburban districts. There was only some scattered light coming from within the factory. Qin Feng looked around him and saw that there was no one around, and thus walked into the factory.
After walking into the factory, he found that it was completely dark, except a single room where there was a bit of light. Qin Feng gripped his fists as he walked over.
Opening the door, he found that the room was about 100 square metres, and was quite s.p.a.cious. He saw a table and a sofa, as well as Yun Xiao trussed up with rope as she sat huddled against a corner. A red handprint was on her face - evidently, she had been slapped quite a few times.
Ma De Hu was casually lying on the sofa as he smoked. Behind him stood 4 bodyguards in suits. As soon as he saw Qin Feng come in, he laughed as he stood up and walked over to Qin Feng.
“Young master Qin, it seems that we’re bound by fate. We’ve met once again!” Ma De Hu looked at Yun Xiao struggling in the corner, then at Qin Feng as the grin on his face became wider. “Who would have thought that the loose and unruly, hedonistic young master Qin would have come alone to act as a hero saving a beauty. Your elder is filled with respect! Hahaha.”
“This young master’s quite busy, so if you have something to say, spit it out. If you’re holding in a fart, hurry up and let it out,” Qin Feng said emotionlessly as he cut off Ma De Hu.
“G.o.dd.a.m.n, Qin Feng, you’ve already friggin’ fallen into your elder’s hands, but you’re still acting so G.o.dd.a.m.n arrogantly. Do you think everyone’s afraid of your t.i.tle as the young master of the Qin family? Today, your elder will…” Ma De Hu suddenly turned hostile as he grabbed Qin Feng’s tie. However, before he could finish his sentence, Qin Feng landed a punch on his abdomen.
A m.u.f.fled noise sounded out as Ma De Hu howled.
Qin Feng put all of his strength into that punch. After drinking the Strength Potion and using the Thunder Tiger Fists, his punch had the force of 150 kilograms behind it. Just that single punch was enough to make Ma De Hu cough up blood.
“I already told you that I’m busy. I had to give you a punch before you stopped talking,” Qin Feng complained unhappily as he tidied his sharp-looking suit.
Ma De Hu, who was howling on the ground, was so angry that he felt his lungs were going to explode. After quite a while, he was finally able to breathe again as he loudly cursed, “Fudge, go and catch this brat for your elder. Your elder’s going to kill him!”
Ma De Hu was so furious that both of his eyes were red, which made him look like a beast. The 4 bodyguards obeyed and leapt towards Qin Feng.
Qin Feng had long since been observing those 4 people, and saw that they were all skilled in fighting. He was now surrounded by the 4 of them, and the powerful auras they emitted made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
The 4 people roared as they swung their fists towards Qin Feng. Their movements were clean and precise, and skilfully combined both offense and defence.
Indeed, these 4 people were not ordinary people, but rather veterans from the army.
With the Thunder Tiger Fists, Qin Feng was also a force to be reckoned with. However, as a young master who had just started fighting, it would be quite difficult for him to beat these 4 veterans who had a wealth of experience.
It was incredibly difficult for 1 pair of fists to contend against 4, and Qin Feng quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
In just a few bouts, Qin Feng had been hit all over his body, and his body ached whenever he moved.
“Lil piggy, hurry up and help me or big brother’s going to die!” Qin Feng couldn’t feel any strength in his body. If this went on, he definitely wouldn’t be able to leave today. In his desperation, he looked to the little pig for help.
“Little master, according to the Hedonist Sovereign System’s calculations, you’re no match for these 4 people. You only have 100 Hedonist Points, which can’t help much.”
The little pig rambled for a while, making Qin Feng feel so angry that he felt as if he was going to vomit blood. Luckily, it continued to speak, “Master can try to complete the quest to obtain Yun Xiao’s favourability and obtain the 100 Hedonist Points reward. That way, master can buy a Rank 2 Strength Potion to increase his power. Adding on the Truesteel Sword, master will be able to unleash surprising effects and counterattack beautifully, turning the tables on his enemies.”
Qin Feng was slightly startled and he asked, “Rank 2 Strength Potion? And 200 Hedonist Points? Why’s it so expensive? Wasn’t the previous Strength Potion just 100 Hedonist Points?”
“Master, Strength Potions go from Rank 1 to Rank 2. Under different body conditions, you can use different potions. After consuming the Rank 1 Strength Potion, you can only become stronger by consuming Rank 2 and above Strength Potions. Rank 1 Strength Potions are 100 Hedonist Points, Rank 2 Strength Potions are 200 Hedonist Potions, and so on…”
As Qin Feng was feeling quite frustrated, a heavy kick hit him in the stomach. He was completely unprepared for this kick, and he flew out and landed next to Yun Xiao. He didn’t even have the strength to stand anymore.
Seeing this, Ma De Hu’s sullen face burst into a smile of delight as he laughed, saying, “Haha, capture him, hurry up and capture him for your elder. Tie up this brat - your elder wants to toy with him till he dies.”
2 of the bodyguards quickly brought over string, tied Qin Feng up, and threw him into the corner with Yun Xiao.
Ma De Hu came in front of Qin Feng and placed a foot on his body as he said triumphantly, “Young master Qin, oh, young master Qin. Who would have thought that you would fall into such straits!
“I thought you were good at fighting? Hit your elder! If you’re so great, then come hit me!
“Haha, eat c.r.a.p! You’re just a toy in your elder’s hands now. Your elder can abuse you however he wants now.”
Ma De Hu kicked Qin Feng many times, feeling incredibly spirited. Qin Feng gritted his teeth as he endured the pain, not letting out any sound.
He was currently very calm. He continuously thought of how to complete Yun Xiao’s quest. Only then did he have a chance at turning the tables.
“Ma De Hu, tell me - what was your objective with all this meticulous planning?” Qin Feng knew that someone was trying to take down the Qin family. Ma De Hu didn’t have the ability to do such a thing alone - he definitely had a powerful backer supporting him.
Qin Feng wanted to find out who was the mastermind behind this. If he could survive, he would definitely tell his dad and catch them in one fell swoop.
“Haha! My objective? To finish off your Qin family, of course.” Ma De Hu laughed as he took out his phone and shook it in front of Qin Feng as he said, “Your elder’s going to call Qin Huang in a bit and tell him that his brat is in my hands. I’m going to ask him to transfer all of the shares in the large businesses to me, otherwise your elder will take your life.
“What do you think? Will your dad do it?”
Ma De Hu laughed wilder and wilder while Qin Feng frowned. He knew that if his dad found out that he had been kidnapped, he would pay any price to save him.
After seeing that Ma De Hu had already made the call, Qin Feng in his desperation looked at Yun Xiao with a gaze as tender and soft as water. He struggled to speak as he coughed out, “Teacher Yun Xiao, are you alright?”
Yun Xiao was startled and looked at Qin Feng with tearful eyes.
This was the first time he had addressed her as ‘teacher’ so sincerely.
This Qin Feng, who ignored all cla.s.s rules, had a terrifying background, and acted so loosely and carelessly, had left many scars of contempt on Yun Xiao’s heart.
2 days ago, because of his ruckus in cla.s.s, she had wanted to bite Qin Feng to death. Afterwards, because she thought he wanted to rape her, she hated him even more.
However, at this moment, she realised that she had completely misunderstood Qin Feng. Qin Feng wasn’t together with these people. At least, he wouldn’t use his life to put on such an act. That would be a bit too excessive.
“I’m alright. Qin Feng, are you okay? Your teacher wrongly blamed you!” Yun Xiao looked at Qin Feng with an expression full of worry. She suddenly felt that being disruptive in cla.s.s was something normal for youths at this age.
They were naughty and lively, but deep down, they had a good nature. In order to save her, Qin Feng had come by himself and put himself in danger.
“I feel that I won’t be able to hold on for too long. Teacher Yun Xiao, you’re the most beautiful and talented teacher I’ve ever met. However, I’m too powerless, and can’t save you from here tonight. If there’s a next life, I want to continue being your student and learn from you. If there’s a time limit put on our relationship as teacher and student, I hope it’s at least 10,000 years…” As he spoke, Qin Feng used up the last bit of strength he had and closed his eyes.
“Wuu… Qin Feng, you’ll be fine! You have to hang on!!” Yun Xiao grabbed onto Qin Feng’s hands as her tears fell.
“Ding… congratulations Host Qin Feng for completing the quest to make teacher Yun Xiao have a favourable impression of you. You have received the reward of 100 Hedonist Points.”
Holy c.r.a.p! I actually succeeded!
Qin Feng yelled out inwardly. It seemed that those cla.s.sic phrases were quite useful.
He had seemed like he was on the verge of death, but after hearing this system announcement, he almost jumped up in excitement. Even he was amazed by his acting skills.
For him not to become a star actor was a tragedy for the acting world…
Mwah!
In his excitement, Qin Feng gave Yun Xiao a big kiss on her cheek.
Yun Xiao was completely dumbfounded and looked at Qin Feng in shock as her cheeks became bright red.
Qin Feng didn’t put any thought into that - he had simply kissed her out of sheer excitement. With a slight thought, he hurriedly opened the Hedonist Sovereign System and bought a Rank 2 Strength Potion.
[Rank 2 Strength Potion]: After completely absorbing the potion’s effects, the Host’s Strength will be raised to 3.
Without thinking, Qin Feng drank all of the contents of the Rank 2 Strength Potion. A wave of warmth immediately spread throughout his body. His body, which had felt completely weak, suddenly felt as if it was bursting with power, and would explode at any moment.
This sudden increase in strength made him want to find someone and wildly fight.
