Chapter 318: Chapter 318: It’s You I’m Setting Up

"You..." Brother Bald scrambled up from the floor, glaring at Ye Feng as he roared, "You little bastard! You dare lay a hand on me? You’re not walking out of here alive!"

With that, he led his men and charged at Ye Feng.

Watching from the side, Du Lei smirked at Ye Feng. ’Go on, you little punk, be arrogant. Now that you’ve pissed off the Cyan Dragon Gang, you’re in for a world of hurt. Just wait and see!’

Du Lei crossed his arms, leaning against a nearby table, ready to enjoy the show.

But just then, Ye Feng pointed a finger at him and shouted:

"My boss is right here! You lay one finger on me, and I guarantee my boss will make you regret it!"

When Du Lei heard this, he cursed a blue streak internally.

’What the fuck? Since when am I your boss? You’re the one who pissed off the Cyan Dragon Gang, what the hell does that have to do with me?’

Ye Feng might not know how formidable the Cyan Dragon Gang was, but Du Lei certainly did. He had been here for a full ten years, practically a local himself. How could he not be aware of the gang’s power?

He wouldn’t dare provoke such an organization. So, he hurried over to Brother Bald, forcing a smile. "Brother Bald, please, let me explain..."

But before he could finish, Brother Bald swung a heavy hand, slapping him across the face. He glared and cursed, "I was wondering which motherfucker was behind this, ordering someone to mess with me. So it was you, you piece of... Durex..."

Even after being slapped, Du Lei didn’t dare to fight back. With a miserable look, he quickly explained, "Brother Bald, I really didn’t tell him to do anything! Also, my name is Du Lei, there’s no ’ex’..."

The words were barely out of his mouth when Brother Bald slapped him again, this time with a backhand. "Bullshit! If you weren’t pulling the strings, would he have the balls to touch me? Cut the crap! If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer today, I’ll fucking tear you to pieces!"

Seeing that Brother Bald was genuinely enraged, Du Lei’s face went pale with fright. He was about to try and explain again, but just then, Ye Feng shot up from his seat and sent a massive slap across Brother Bald’s face.

SMACK! The sound was explosive. Half of Brother Bald’s face was a mangled mess of torn flesh and blood, a truly gruesome sight.

Ye Feng glared at Brother Bald and said in a cold voice, "You dare hit my boss? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Brother Bald struggled back to his feet. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Du Lei and roared, "Alright! You bastard, you actually had your subordinate hit me! I’ll fucking kill you today! I swear it! All of you, get him! Kill him!"

Several thugs grabbed chairs and charged toward Du Lei and his men.

Du Lei was so furious he could have cried. ’Are you fucking brain dead? It was Ye Feng who hit you! What the hell does that have to do with me?’

He shrieked, "Guys, calm down! Let me explain!"

"Fuck your explanation!" A thug swung the chair in his hands and smashed it right on Du Lei’s head.

THUD! Du Lei’s head was instantly split open.

Du Lei let out a pained cry, clutching his head as he crumpled to the floor.

The thugs swarmed them like a pack of wild animals, unleashing a flurry of kicks and punches on Du Lei and his men.

Pinned and unable to move under a table, Du Lei happened to glance over and saw Ye Feng casually picking up a piece of century egg with his chopsticks. He placed it on Ouyang Qiu’s plate and smiled at her, saying:

"Fifth Senior Sister, you should try this. The century egg is delicious!"

Du Lei was so enraged he nearly passed out. He screamed internally, ’You motherfucker! I’m getting beaten to death over here, and you’re eating fucking eggs?!’

Just then, another thug raised a chair high and brought it down ferociously toward Du Lei’s head.

Du Lei despaired. ’It’s over. I’m so screwed.’

But in that instant, Ye Feng grabbed a handful of peanuts and flicked them through the air.

The peanuts shot out like lightning, striking each of the thugs squarely on the wrist. They all cried out in pain, clutching their hands.

Seeing Ye Feng finally intervene, Du Lei felt a wave of relief. ’Finally, he’s acting like a decent human being.’ But Ye Feng’s next words nearly made him explode with rage.

Ye Feng’s voice was icy. "You dare to bully our boss? Are you all looking for a death wish?"

Du Lei was on the verge of tears from pure rage. ’When the FUCK did I become your boss? You’re just trying to frame me, you bastard!’

He looked at Brother Bald, about to explain, but Brother Bald was already staring back, his face livid. "Fine, Du Lei! You even ordered your man to attack us again! We’ll remember this. You just wait!"

With that, he and his men beat a hasty and pathetic retreat.

Du Lei struggled to his feet, glaring at Ye Feng and roaring in fury:

"Ye Feng! What did I ever do to you? Why are you screwing me over like this?"

Ye Feng put down his chopsticks and looked at Du Lei with a cold smile. "You’ve done nothing to me. But you’ve wronged your own conscience."

He then pointed at Li Yao. "Our own compatriot was being bullied by these thugs, and you just stood by and watched. Tell me, do you have any conscience at all?"

A flicker of shame crossed Du Lei’s face, but he quickly puffed out his chest and retorted:

"It’s not that I didn’t want to get involved, but could I afford to? Do you have any idea who the Cyan Dragon Gang is? They’re the biggest gang in Jilong! If I antagonize them, they’re crazy enough to tear down the embassy! Believe it or not!"

Ye Feng slammed his hand on the table and roared, "As an ambassador, your duty is to stand up for our people and not bow to power! But look at you! Are you even acting like a decent human being?"

Du Lei was seething. He looked at Ye Feng and nodded. "Fine. You’re the big shot. You’re so tough. Just wait until the Cyan Dragon Gang shows up. I’d love to see how you handle that!"

Ye Feng’s reply nearly gave him an aneurysm. "Didn’t you say you’d cover for me? With you here, what have I got to be afraid of?"

"You..." Du Lei stared at Ye Feng, mentally cursing every one of his ancestors. With a miserable look, he cried out:

"I’m begging you, please, stop dragging me into this!"

Ye Feng replied with a grin, "But didn’t you say you’d cover for me?"

Du Lei: "..."

Seeing Du Lei’s face flush red with frustration, Ouyang Qiu, who was watching from the side, almost burst out laughing. ’This Ye Feng is just too wicked,’ she thought.

Just then, Li Yao approached Ye Feng, her face pale. "Thank you for saving me, sir," she said. "But the Cyan Dragon Gang is too powerful. You can’t beat them. You all should leave, quickly! If you wait for them to get here, you won’t be able to get away!"

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Du Lei, who immediately looked up at the ceiling, pretending he didn’t know Ye Feng at all.

Ye Feng gave a disdainful smile, then turned back to Li Yao and said calmly:

"Don’t worry, little sister. With me here, not even God himself could lay a finger on you. I, Ye Feng, will never allow my people to be bullied by anyone!"

Hearing this, Du Lei, standing nearby, almost started crying. "Ye Feng, talk is cheap! Do you have any idea what the Cyan Dragon Gang is? They have over ten thousand members! And they have terrifying backers! Do you get it? You’re only fearless because you’re ignorant!"

Li Yao looked at Ye Feng with gratitude. "Thank you, sir. But you really can’t win against the Cyan Dragon Gang. Please, hurry up and go!"

Ye Feng, however, just looked up at Li Yao with a grin. "Li Yao, this century egg is great. Can you get me another one?"

Behind them, Du Lei was so angry his face was twisted. ’Their backup is about to arrive, and you’re still eating?! Eating fucking eggs!’

Just then, the screech of tires echoed from outside, followed by the sound of urgent footsteps. Moments later, a large group of men stormed into the restaurant.

They all had crew cuts and were brandishing large machetes that glinted with a sinister, cold light. A palpable killing intent instantly filled the air, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop several degrees.
