Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Are You Satisfied With This Explanation?

The phone rang several times before the call connected. A lazy voice drifted from the other end:

"Boy, why aren’t you in bed this late? What’s all the commotion for..."

Before the man could finish, Li Ran cut in, his voice tight with rage, "Dad, I was beaten..."

The moment Li Ran finished speaking, a roar erupted from the phone. "Someone dared to hit my son? The son of Li Jin? Does he have a fucking death wish?! Tell him who you are! Then tell him to break his own arms and kneel at the Li family’s doorstep to apologize! If not, he’ll bear all the consequences!"

"I already told him who you are, but he wouldn’t let it go! He said he wants you to come here in person and give *him* an explanation!"

A cold laugh echoed from the phone. "How many years... How many years has it been since someone dared to challenge me, Li Jin? Is he taking me for a pushover? He wants to drag my name through the mud!

"Fine. Tell me where you are. I’m on my way. I’d like to see just who this big shot is."

"Hundred. Flowers. Building," Li Ran enunciated each word.

"Alright, I’ve got it. Tell him not to even think about running. I’ll drag him out even if he burrows into a rat hole. That’s a promise."

The next moment, the line went dead.

Li Ran held up his phone, waving it at Ye Feng as he spoke with unconcealed glee:

"You just wait. My dad’s on his way. Oh, right, he told me to remind you—don’t even think about running!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Ye Feng reached out, grabbed him by the hair, and began dragging him toward the door.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Li Ran shrieked in agony, but Ye Feng acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, continuing to drag him out into the hallway.

Shen Qing’s face went pale with fright. ’He’s really trying to start a war with Li Jin! Does he not plan on staying in Jiangcheng anymore?!’

Snapping back to her senses, she hurried over to reason with Ye Feng. "Young Lord, this is enough. There’s no need to take things this far."

Ye Feng turned to look at Shen Qing and said calmly:

"Today, I’m going to make everyone understand that the people of my Sixth Master are not to be trifled with!"

With that, he resumed dragging Li Ran by the hair like a dead dog. He went straight to the main hall and sat down on the bar near the entrance. He kicked Li Ran to the floor and planted his foot firmly on his back. No matter how much Li Ran struggled, he couldn’t break free.

Li Ran’s eyes were bloodshot. He roared, "You just wait! You just wait!"

The commotion in the hall attracted a crowd of onlookers. When they saw Ye Feng with his foot on Li Ran, they were all stunned.

Who was Li Ran? The son of Jiangcheng’s Police Director, Li Jin. Ye Feng wasn’t just stepping on Li Ran; he was stepping on Li Jin!

He wasn’t just slapping Li Ran’s face; he was slapping Li Jin’s!

Li Jin was known to be petty and vindictive. Now that Ye Feng had dared to humiliate his son so publicly, there was no way he would let it slide.

Just wait. This guy’s luck was about to run out.

Shen Qing went straight to Qin Long and told him to get the girls ready. "Give them some extra money and tell them to get ready to run. We can’t stay here anymore. The Hundred Flowers Building in Jiangcheng... it’s about to be finished!"

She looked at Ye Feng sitting in the hall and sighed to herself. ’Old Lord, oh Old Lord, were you blind? How could you choose a spoiled brat like him to be the Young Lord? This is a complete disaster!’

’Forget it. I should go pack my things and get ready to leave, too.’

With a sigh, she turned and left.

Just then, Ye Feng took out his phone and made a call. He spoke calmly, "Uncle Yuan, it’s Ye Feng. I’m at the Hundred Flowers Building. I’d like to invite you to come watch a good show."

People in the crowd started to murmur amongst themselves.

"Still trying to call for help? He’s a complete nobody. What kind of powerful backer could he possibly have? No matter how he struggles today, he can’t escape his fate of being utterly crushed by Li Jin."

"I’d say getting thrown in jail would be the lucky outcome. He’ll probably be shot full of holes right here on the spot!"

...

But Ye Feng seemed not to hear them. He sat there, utterly unconcerned, one leg casually crossed over the other and swinging slightly, a picture of perfect ease and leisure.

Before long, headlights sliced through the darkness, followed by the roar of engines. A dozen or so heavy-duty motorcycles screamed to a halt outside with a screech of tires.

Dozens of men jumped off the bikes and stormed toward the Hundred Flowers Building.

At their head was a pot-bellied, middle-aged man, a sinister light glinting in his narrow eyes.

Someone in the crowd quickly recognized him and couldn’t help but cry out, "It’s the director of the Jiangcheng Police Department, Director Li!"

"The man himself is here. Now that kid is really in for it!"

"He was acting all tough earlier. Bet he’s ready to back down now!"

The crowd murmured, turning to look at Ye Feng, but they were shocked to see him still sitting there, his expression as calm as ever.

Everyone’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. ’This guy really has a death wish!’

Just then, Li Ran spotted Li Jin and immediately shrieked, "Help! Save me!"

Li Jin looked down and finally saw his son. When he saw Li Ran pinned to the floor, his face bloody and battered—a truly miserable sight—his eyes instantly turned blood-red. He looked up at Ye Feng and spat out each word: "Seize him."

The words were barely out of his mouth when dozens of black gun barrels aimed at Ye Feng. A terrifying killing intent instantly filled the air.

"Wait!" Ye Feng said calmly, holding up a hand. "Li Jin, is it? There’s no need to be so hasty. Today, I’m going to have a reasonable talk with you."

Li Jin stared at Ye Feng, his gaze murderous. "Fine. I’ll give you a chance to say your last words."

Ye Feng simply smiled. "Do you know why I taught your son a lesson today? I’ll tell you. He came to my Hundred Flowers Building to cause trouble for no reason. He not only injured my people but also threatened to raze this place to the ground. And what was it he said? Oh, right. That he was going to tear me limb from limb.

"So, I called you here today. I want *you* to give *me* an explanation."

Li Jin looked at Ye Feng, nodded slowly, and spoke with that same chilling tone, "You want *me* to give *you* an explanation? Fine. I’m listening. Tell me how you want me to explain myself!"

Ye Feng stated calmly, "One: take your son home and teach him some manners, so he doesn’t come out and cause trouble for others again. Two: compensate the Hundred Flowers Building for all the damages he caused. Three: make a public promise, today, that you will never cause trouble here again or interfere with our business..."

"HA HA..." Before Ye Feng had even finished, Li Jin burst into wild laughter. The next moment, it cut off abruptly. He glared at Ye Feng and said in a frigid voice:

"A little piece of trash like you wants to teach me how to do things? Let me tell you something: you don’t have the right!

"So what if my son causes trouble? What can you do about it? I’m not paying you a single cent. What can you do about it? You think the Hundred Flowers Building can still operate normally?

"Dream on!

"After today, there will be no Hundred Flowers Building in Jiangcheng. How’s that for an explanation? Are you satisfied?"
