Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Bad LuckChen Feng was also full of grievances at the moment, and it wasn’t just about reaping the benefits and still pretending to be innocent. He was truly filled with resentment. He initially came to the hotel in high spirits, drank wine worth 888 yuan, and waited for the carefully selected emotional support commissioner priced at 18,000 yuan, full of anticipation. But when he woke up, the supposed lady of good family had turned into Zhang Jingwen—the self-righteous, arrogant woman who also mistook him for a pervert, even a potential rapist. It was more unjust than Dou E! To top it off, she wasn’t even the type of woman he liked. Didn’t that add to his resentment? The physical hurt and losses were secondary; it was the psychological impact that mattered most. He had abided by the law for nearly thirty years, but now he felt his reputation might be tarnished in his later years. He had come into this world pure and wanted to leave it the same way. He didn’t want to carry any stains, but now this stain was hard to wash off, so he felt very wronged and distressed. Before leaving the hotel, Chen Feng conscientiously settled the bill. After leaving the hotel to drive, Chen Feng headed straight to a nearby restaurant to eat. The physical toll from the previous night was significant, prompting Chen Feng to devour three large bowls of rice and clean up seven or eight dishes he had ordered. It was only after downing the last can of Red Bull that he comfortably belched. However, his mind involuntarily drifted to the somewhat blurry memories of the previous night and the thought of Zhang Jingwen that morning, which immediately dampened his spirits. This damned peach blossom luck! Picking his teeth, he exited the restaurant and hadn’t walked far when two menacing-looking men approached him. Chen Feng’s heart skipped a beat, but he composed himself and quickly turned to head back. From the moment he left the hotel, he had been cautious, suspecting Zhang Jingwen might seek revenge or have someone steal his phone promptly. It indeed seemed to be the case. Chen Feng was speechless; Zhang Jingwen was unexpectedly decisive and forceful. With no other option, Chen Feng could only return to the restaurant and order food again. This restaurant offered fast food with buffet-style serving and was doing excellent business, and with mealtime approaching, it was nearly full, hosting dozens of people. Even if those two men wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn’t be easy to do so in this busy setting. Chen Feng ordered a few more dishes, got two bottles of Budweiser, and sat down to eat and drink. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the two men had also come in, got their food, and intermittently glanced over at him, clearly here for him. After getting their meal, the two chose a table not far from Chen Feng. Chen Feng stopped paying them attention and focused on his food and drink. His stomach was somewhat full, but just drinking beer and eating without rice was still manageable. However, Chen Feng had only drunk half a bottle of Budweiser when he got up and walked toward the restroom. He noticed the two men were watching him constantly, but since he moved further inside the restaurant, they didn’t follow. Halfway there, suddenly, he turned right and walked down another aisle toward the exit. Usually, people wouldn’t just leave without eating their food right after it’s served, unless there was something very urgent. These two men did just that; seeing Chen Feng heading for the exit, they hastily stood up, leaving their food, and started chasing after him. Chen Feng, of course, noticed this and immediately started running. He quickly reached his car parked by the roadside before they could catch him, opened the door, started the engine, and drove off. From the rearview mirror, he saw the two men standing annoyed by the roadside, watching as he drove away. Go eat shit! Chen Feng cursed in his heart, feeling very displeased. Zhang Jingwen, that woman, was really... too cruel. It hadn’t been long, and she had already sent two people over. It was a pity that he hadn’t kept her phone number; otherwise, he definitely would have had a serious talk with her. Upon returning to his rented apartment, he first took a shower and then discovered that he had quite a few scratches on his body that had broken skin. Chen Feng couldn’t help but curse his bad luck in a whisper. It took him nearly half an hour to finish showering and change into a brand-new set of clothes. Picking up his phone, he saw a few WeChat messages. There were messages from Wang Fang, Fang Xiaoyue, and Qin Xiaorou. The first two were asking if he had returned to Xiu Zhou. Chen Feng replied "Yes" and left it at that. As for Qin Xiaorou, she had been sending him messages almost daily, but Chen Feng never replied. Still, she was very stubborn and continued to send them daily. Initially, her messages were somewhat unpleasant; later, she just treated him like an emotional dumping ground, talking about her issues at school and at home, all of them quite negative. Chen Feng still had no intention of replying to her. There was no need to get too involved with this wild girl. Besides these three, there was also a friend request from a stranger, originating from a phone number. Chen Feng didn’t accept immediately but instead replied with a message, "Who are you?" After a while, the other party sent a message, "A colleague." Chen Feng wasn’t easily fooled and asked, "Who?" After a while, the person replied, "Li Shumin, Yan Jun’s wife." Chen Feng really hadn’t expected it to be Yan Jun’s wife, Li Shumin—a woman he had seen a few times. Back when Yan Jun was still his apprentice, she had already been Yan Jun’s girlfriend, and they had even dined together a few times. After some thought, Chen Feng decided to accept the request but blocked her from viewing his Moments. "What do you want? If you want to start scolding me, go ahead. I have a clear conscience." Chen Feng sent this message first. "I’m currently negotiating a divorce with Yan Jun, but I suspect he has hidden assets, so I wanted to ask about it." Chen Feng was shocked when he read this message. Were women these days really so realistic? Her husband had just gotten into trouble, and she was already thinking about divorcing him and trying to squeeze as much money out of him as possible. Although Chen Feng had no good feelings toward Yan Jun, he couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for him at this moment. "I don’t know. Don’t come looking for me anymore." Chen Feng had an even lower opinion of Li Shumin now. She had seemed gentle and virtuous, but reality proved otherwise. "Aren’t you Yan Jun’s enemy? You should know him best. If you know something, please tell me; I can help you get revenge." Disgusting woman! Chen Feng didn’t want to waste another minute on her and immediately blocked her. This woman had successfully disgusted him. Although he didn’t consider Shen Lin a companion in adversity, she at least hadn’t kicked him when he was down or tried to pry money from him—of course, he had been penniless before. In this regard, Shen Lin was indeed much better than Li Shumin. Chen Feng immediately pushed this woman out of his mind. Staying at home was boring, especially when he was so close to death; he definitely couldn’t waste the little time he had left alone in his rented apartment. After getting ready, Chen Feng drove out again. This time he planned to go to a shopping mall to buy some food, clothes, and necessities, opting for the more expensive options.
