The whole atmosphere was suddenly tense. Dozens of Zhao Jun"s heelers stood around him, but none dared to step forward. Qin Feng"s reputation was well-known. This gang was not a match for Qin Feng"s power and combat effectiveness. Anyone who dared to show off would only be asking to be embarra.s.sed.
Besides that, Zhao Jun"s power had been decreasing day by day. His heelers had recently all been wondering whether they should find someone else to support. They were afraid it would be difficult to achieve anything noteworthy standing by Zhao Jun.
Suddenly everyone heard a huge slap, and Pei Xiang looked furious. She pointed at Qin Feng angrily and shouted, "You son of a b.i.t.c.h! s.h.i.t. You dare to beat me? I will kill you."
As these words rang out, several strong men immediately came to Pei Xiang"s side. Although they knew that Qin Feng was very powerful, they worked for Sister Xiang and they had seen him hit her. It would be shameful not to help her.
"Knock him down," Pei Xiang said coldly while her eyes shot daggers at Qin Feng. She did not believe that he was as fierce as people said, and wanted to see it with her own eyes.
She had been ready to see Qin Feng get hurt. He appeared just a few days ago and already he had dared to chop Zhao Jun"s fingers, and now to slap her in the face? He really needed to be taught a lesson.
Sister Flower saw what had happened, and, anxious to protect Qin Feng, pulled him behind her while loudly shouting, "Pei Xiang, what do you intend to do?"
"Sister Flower, you"re really going to rebel, and now ask me what I want? Are you serious? I want to see you on the streets, scorned by everyone!"
Qin Feng couldn"t take Pei Xiang"s words. As Pei Xiang scolded Sister Flower, Qin Feng knocked her to the ground with a sharp move of his leg. He moved too quickly for Pei Xiang to react, but when she fell to the ground three meters away, her men jumped to action.
Pei Xiang"s five younger brothers immediately surrounded Qin Feng, but they were not expecting him to fight as quickly as he did. Arms swinging, Qin Feng knocked two of the men on the ground. With another swift movement, he dug a knife into a third and then flung him into the corridor wall. Within seconds, all five men were on the ground and Qin Feng remained untouched.
There was no comparison between Qin Feng and this group.
Pei Xiang lay where she had fallen. She felt as though she had broken several bones, and blood flowed from where her forehead had hit the wooden armrest of a chair.
Qin Feng went to her, and, squatting down, tauntingly said, "Get up, Pei Xiang. Don"t you want to teach me a lesson? Come on."
Qin Feng knew that sometimes to get people to respect you, you had to show them just how tough you were. Otherwise, you might be bullied forever. As long as you could prove your strength effectively once, everyone would remember that you were not to be tested.
Pei Xiang tried to put on a ferocious face through her pain. She snarled, "You...you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. If you were capable…"
Although he had felt the need to defend Sister Flower, Qin Feng did not like to hit women. As he watched her struggle on the ground, he felt that he had hit Pei Xiang a little ruthlessly. Still, he thought to himself, only ruthlessness can trump her arrogance.
He felt compelled to protect Sister Flower. If she hadn"t been able to make money for Zhao Jun, she may have had nowhere to go, and would"ve had to endure common people saying such things about her every day.
Qin Feng eventually spoke, "Well, I don"t want to go overboard. After all, we were in the same company together. Sister Flower and I will leave now. She also does not want her salary share bonus this year. Use it for your medical treatment expense…"
Qin Feng then sighed, approached Sister Flower and said simply, "Let"s go."
Looking at the mess in front of her, Sister Flower had not thought that she would part with everyone in such a dramatic fashion, but this was the way Qin Feng did things. By being so ruthless, Qin Feng had given Sister Flower no chance to hesitate and no other option but to leave.
Sister Flower understood Qin Feng"s reasoning. There was no longer a benefit to following Zhao Jun. His cowardice and mediocrity had made him lose the opportunity to become the top of the Tianhe. Now, in his old age, he had lost much of his fight. Although Sister Flower understood the situation, leaving in this way made her heart heavy.
Sister Flower approached Pei Xiang and reached out a hand to help her up. She did not expect Pei Xiang to angrily push her away and shout, "Get out! f.u.c.k off!"
From where Qin Feng stood on the side, he could see Sister Flower wilt at Pei Xiang"s reaction. She had obviously cherished her time working here, and no matter what, she wanted that time to end in peace. Even if they would not see each other in the future, Sister Flower did not want to leave these people as enemies.
Fighting, it doesn"t make any sense, thought Qin Feng.
At this time, Ru Ru calmly came over to help Pei Xiang up, and she gently stated, "You can"t let people laugh at you. But we are sisters who have been together for so many years…I didn"t like Flower in the past, but now that she has to go, I find myself sad."
Ru Ru turned to Sister Flower and continued, "In fact, Pei Xiang and I are both envious of you. You stick to your own beliefs. You can come out of a situation without being ruined by it. What a fool Brother Jun is. He can"t force you to do anything. It was your temperament and ability that conquered him.
In our hearts, Pei Xiang and I wanted to do this, but we couldn"t. We are destined to live by selling our souls and bodies in this life, surviving day by day by being like walking dead bodies. We don"t have our own thoughts, our own pursuits. We"re not like you. You can leave without pressure. If we left Brother Jun, we would be nothing. We"ve lost our original beauty, so we would be on the street..."
As she spoke, Ru Ru shed many tears. Seeing her nearly repentant farewell, Qin Feng felt a trace of sympathy. He and Sister Flower stood side by side, each sharing the other"s inner struggle.
