Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Daring to Provoke You Is Not Giving Me Face

When Lin Yuan heard Lin Qianqian call Ye Feng an ant, his heart leaped into his throat. ’She’s courting death! She’s going to get the entire Lin family burned alive!’

He couldn’t take it anymore. He spun around, slapped Lin Qianqian hard across the face, and roared furiously at her,

"Shut your damn mouth! If you run your mouth again, I’ll fucking kill you. You believe me?"

Staring at Lin Yuan’s bloodshot eyes, Lin Qianqian froze on the spot, utterly stunned. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

’Her whole life, he had never, ever treated her this way. Forget hitting her—he would turn his head just to sneeze, afraid a single droplet might land on her. What was going on today? Had he lost his mind? Did a donkey kick him in the head?’

Lin Yuan had no time to explain. He turned back to Ye Feng, bowing profusely and apologizing. "Mr. Ye, it’s my fault for failing to raise her properly. That’s why she’s so unruly. I will be sure to teach her a lesson and guarantee she never causes you the slightest bit of trouble again. Please, don’t let us keep you."

With that, he grabbed the ashen-faced Lin Qianqian and beat a hasty retreat. The arrogance he’d shown upon arrival had vanished, leaving him looking like nothing more than a beaten dog with its tail between its legs.

Only when they were a good distance away did Lin Yuan let go of Lin Qianqian. He stood there, legs trembling and sweat pouring down like rain.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, his voice trembling as he cried out, "Thank God he didn’t follow us. That scared the life out of me! It really did!"

Lin Qianqian couldn’t take it anymore. She glared at Lin Yuan and roared furiously,

"Some good-for-nothing beats me to a pulp, and instead of getting revenge, you’re bowing and scraping to him? You better give me a good explanation. What the hell is going on? What is going on?!"

Before Lin Qianqian could finish, Lin Yuan clapped a hand over her mouth, looking around frantically, scared out of his wits.

Seeing that Ye Feng was far in the distance, he finally breathed a small sigh of relief. He looked at Lin Qianqian, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"Good-for-nothing? You call him a good-for-nothing? Silly girl, do you have any idea why Li Ran, the son of the Jiangcheng Police Chief, was thrown in prison? Do you know how Police Chief Li Jin himself was brought down?

Let me tell you, it was all because of him—because of Ye Feng!"

Then, in a low voice, he recounted the incident at the Hundred Flowers Building.

When Lin Qianqian heard this, her eyes widened. "What did you say? Ye Feng is the nephew of Jiangcheng’s top official, Yuan Long?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "I wasn’t there myself, but someone told me the whole story, down to the last detail.

Silly girl, there’s no reason to doubt it. Otherwise, who would have the power to take the great police chief and grind his face into the dirt like that?

And another thing, with such a huge scene at the Hundred Flowers Building, why hasn’t a single word leaked out? It’s because Yuan Long himself issued a gag order! It was a measure he took to protect Ye Feng!"

Hearing this, Lin Qianqian felt as if she’d been clubbed over the head. She froze on the spot. A moment later, her face went white, and her entire body started to tremble uncontrollably.

’She never would have imagined that Ye Feng, a nobody in her eyes, had such a terrifying background!’

She was scared. She was finally scared. She looked at Lin Yuan, her voice trembling as she cried, "Dad, what do I do? Is he going to kill me?"

Lin Yuan said with lingering fear, "My child, Ye Feng is ruthless. He shows no mercy and leaves no loose ends. I’m afraid we can’t rule out that possibility..."

As soon as his words fell, there was a soft sound—Lin Qianqian had been scared enough to wet her pants.

She grabbed Lin Yuan’s hand, crying, "Dad, help me! You have to save me!"

Lin Yuan’s face was pale as he said, "Child, I want to help, but I’m powerless..."

Lin Qianqian went limp and collapsed to the ground. Lin Yuan quickly pulled her up, thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up as he said,

"Ah! How could I have forgotten? There’s someone who can definitely save you."

"Who?" Lin Qianqian looked up at Lin Yuan.

"Your boyfriend!" Lin Yuan said, looking at her.

"Haofeng? You mean Haofeng!" Lin Qianqian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Yuan nodded. "That’s right. Haofeng’s father, Pan Jie, is Jiangcheng’s deputy city leader. If he goes to Yuan Long and asks for a favor, Yuan Long will have to give him face. Once Yuan Long says the word, you’ll be safe!"

"Oh, why didn’t I think of that? How could I have forgotten about Haofeng!" Lin Qianqian exclaimed excitedly, hastily pulling out her phone to make a call. When it connected, she cried urgently,

"Darling, where are you?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw someone in the distance walking toward her, holding a phone in one hand and waving with the other.

Seeing him, Lin Qianqian reacted as if she’d found her savior. She stumbled forward and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly as her body trembled uncontrollably.

The newcomer was none other than Pan Haofeng of the Pan family.

Pan Haofeng’s hands began to wander over Lin Qianqian’s body. He chuckled and said, "Babe, it’s only been a day. You miss me this much already? How about after the banquet, we get a room and have a nice, long... chat."

But the words had barely left his lips when his brow furrowed. He could clearly see how swollen Lin Qianqian’s face was.

Pan Haofeng yanked up Lin Qianqian’s face and demanded coldly, "What happened?"

Looking at Pan Haofeng with an aggrieved expression, Lin Qianqian said, "Darling, someone beat me up..."

The moment she spoke, Pan Haofeng exploded in fury. "Someone dared to lay a hand on my woman? They must have a fucking death wish! If I don’t wipe out their entire family, then my name isn’t Pan! Tell me who it was! Who?!"

Seeing Pan Haofeng so furious he looked ready to burst, Lin Qianqian’s heart warmed. ’Finally, someone is standing up for me!’

But a moment later, reality set in. She looked at Pan Haofeng, shook her head, and said with a pale face,

"Darling, we can’t afford to mess with him. I didn’t call you to get revenge for me. I need you to plead my case, to make this go away!"

Pan Haofeng stared at Lin Qianqian, scarcely believing his eyes. With the backing of the Lin family, plus the prestige of having him as her boyfriend, he couldn’t imagine who could possibly intimidate Lin Qianqian to this extent.

He looked at her, baffled. "Darling, what exactly happened?"

Her voice trembling, Lin Qianqian recounted what had happened. She finished by looking at Pan Haofeng, her face pale, and saying,

"Darling, Ye Feng has Yuan Long backing him. We can’t win against him. You have to talk to Uncle Pan, have him plead with Yuan Long, and ask Ye Feng to let us go. Tell him I’ve learned my lesson! I’ll never do it again..."

By the time she finished, she was so frustrated she felt like her lungs would explode. But there was nothing to be done. When you’re at a disadvantage, you have to bow your head.

But the moment she finished, Pan Haofeng let out a cold laugh. "And here I was wondering who it was. So it’s that bastard again!

If he dares to mess with you, he’s disrespecting me. I’m fucking settling the score with him today!"

Lin Qianqian’s eyes lit up for a moment, but they quickly dimmed again. She shook her head and said,

"Darling, I know you want to stick up for me, but he has Yuan Long’s backing. We can’t win. Even your dad is no match for Yuan Long!"

But Pan Haofeng’s next words made Lin Qianqian’s eyes instantly light up again.
