Chapter 96: Chapter 82 Alarm_2Wu Mengting couldn’t help but laugh in response, "It seems you really have a passion for calligraphy." "It’s not really a passion; it’s just that this particular piece invokes such a feeling in me. Master Wang Yi’s other works don’t give me the same feeling. That’s why I believe this work is a treasure. Otherwise, even for investment purposes, I wouldn’t have spent so much money on it. It’s not necessary." Chen Feng didn’t hide his true feelings from Wu Mengting and directly articulated them. "Is that so?" Wu Mengting was quite surprised. "Absolutely," Chen Feng nodded affirmatively. After pondering for a moment, Wu Mengting sighed, "Then perhaps you really are fated with this piece by Master Wang Yi. When I appreciated it before, although I also thought it was very nice, I didn’t get the comfortable feeling you described. At best, it was pleasing to the eye." "You’re right. I must be fated with this piece." Wu Mengting was about to say something more when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw it was Lin Wan calling. "What’s up?... What? Oh, okay, okay, we’re coming right now. Brother Feng, Waner said she was attacked, we need to go right away." Chen Feng was startled and immediately agreed, "Okay, we’re heading over right now." Presently, he considered both women as friends, and given that they were females and he was male, it was natural for him to go help since the situation had arisen. The car quickly reached the museum. Fortunately, when they arrived, though there was seemingly no parking left, a car was just leaving, conveniently freeing up a spot for Chen Feng. After parking, they hurriedly ran towards the museum’s entrance. Around fifteen people were already gathered there, watching the drama unfold. They saw Lin Wan holding her phone in one hand and grabbing another woman with her other, not letting her go, and loudly saying, "You hit me and think you can just leave?" "Are you going to let go? Wu Jinwei, are you dead? Get her off me." The woman looked seductive, in her late twenties, tall at almost five foot seven, heavily made-up like a nightclub hostess, exuding an air of vulgarity. Standing beside her was a man in his thirties, also about five foot seven, with a fair complexion and significant dark circles under his eyes, looking depleted from excess indulgence. "Let’s all calm down and talk this over. Miss, there’s no need to be aggressive. Let’s all sit down together, get to know each other, and settle this peacefully. After all, there are no enemies that cannot become friends." Wu Jinwei ignored the woman and tried to mediate with an ingratiating manner, yet his lascivious eyes occasionally roamed over Lin Wan’s figure, clearly revealing his lecherous intentions. The woman, furious, yelled, "You can’t change your inherent nature, trying to seduce another girl right in front of me. Do you think I’m dead?" Wu Jinwei frowned and scowled at the woman, annoyed, "Can you please stop making a scene? I was just talking to her. You’re getting jealous over nothing and even hit her. It’s utterly unreasonable. How about this: let’s invite her to the western restaurant nearby, apologize to her, and transform hostility into friendship?" "You... you..." The tall woman was so angered she was left speechless. "No need for apologies," Chen Feng pushed through the crowd and moved forward, his expression stern, "Hit her back exactly how she hit you." "You’re here!" Seeing Chen Feng and Wu Mengting coming, Lin Wan exclaimed joyfully, her courage bolstering. "Are you her friend?" Wu Jinwei frowned, disapprovingly staring at Chen Feng. Chen Feng was just about to nod, when Lin Wan proudly declared, "He’s my boyfriend. Now he’s the one in charge, whatever he says, goes." Hearing this, Chen Feng felt a bit annoyed inside, but given the unusual circumstances, he chose not to refute her and just stood there with a stern face. A hint of jealousy flickered in Wu Jinwei’s eyes as he coldly asked Chen Feng, "How do you plan to resolve this for your girlfriend?" Chen Feng sneered, "Didn’t I just say it? However, she hit you, you hit her back in the same way." After speaking, he turned to Lin Wan and asked, "How did she hit you just now?" Lin Wan immediately said, "She came over like a lunatic and suddenly kicked me. She was wearing high heels, and that kick made my calf swell up. Then she tried to hit my face, but I dodged." "It was her who seduced my boyfriend first," the tall woman loudly accused Lin Wan, sarcastically adding, "Asking a man where the restroom is, isn’t that shameful?" Lin Wan’s face flushed red with anger as she retorted, "That’s bullshit! I just asked where the restroom was, how is that shameful? He was the closest to me at that moment, what’s wrong with asking him?" Hearing this, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting felt the urge to cover their faces with their hands; it was quite embarrassing and disgraceful. Seeing that the crowd of onlookers was growing, Chen Feng, eager to cut through the chaos, said to the tall woman, "Now you have two choices: either let my friend kick you back, or we go through the legal process and call the police." Before the woman could say anything, Wu Jinwei chuckled and said, "Then let’s call the police." The tall woman glared at him but ultimately didn’t utter a word of objection. Seeing this, Chen Feng didn’t say much else and directly took out his phone to call the police, explaining the situation here. Throughout, Wu Jinwei watched him with a cold smirk, while the tall woman frowned, visibly annoyed. After Chen Feng hung up the police call, he used his phone to take photos of the two individuals. Then, Chen Feng went over to Lin Wan and whispered, "Alright, let her go, and have Mengting take you to the restroom. I’ll wait here for the police." Lin Wan’s face turned red again when she heard this, wanting to explain, but ultimately too embarrassed to speak out. She just glared at Chen Feng resentfully, released the woman she was holding, and ran off with Wu Mengting. Seeing this scene, the onlookers who had been enjoying the drama realized Lin Wan was probably in a hurry to use the restroom; many chuckled softly. "Friend, is she really your girlfriend?" Wu Jinwei stepped forward, offering Chen Feng a cigarette with a smile and asked. Chen Feng didn’t accept the cigarette and coldly countered, "What business is it of yours?" Wu Jinwei’s face immediately hardened, and with a cold snort, he took the offered cigarette and put it in his own mouth, sneering, "Expecting my woman to apologize is impossible. I can only say, if you don’t have the clout, don’t pretend to be a big shot. You might just get yourself in trouble." "Wow, so you think you’re really something? Does your family own the police station?" Chen Feng mocked directly. He now had "nothing to lose" and was also worth tens of millions, truly fearless. Moreover, since the other party had sarcastically provoked him first, he obviously wouldn’t back down. Wu Jinwei didn’t seem angry but rather took his time, pulled out a lighter, lit up his cigarette, took a deep drag and exhaled before leaning closer to Chen Feng and lowered his voice, speaking assuredly, "Let me put it this way. If I beat you up right now, it’s very likely that you, not me, would end up in a cell. Do you get what I mean? My family has dominated this area for decades. You’re an outsider, understand?" "So that’s how it is!" Chen Feng nodded as if suddenly enlightened, then burst out laughing, "Well, let’s see about that." With that, Chen Feng suddenly, without any warning, slapped him. With a crisp snap, the other party, completely unprepared, was struck so hard that his head jerked back at a forty-five-degree angle, the cigarette flying from his mouth as he staggered several steps backward, nearly falling on his backside. Probably what many young people who come to the city to work hate the most are these city natives who look down on outsiders. Regardless of whether they are wealthy or not, merely because they have a city registration, even those who receive social welfare feel inherently superior and despise outsiders. If they become wealthy through demolition compensation or other favorable policies, that arrogance only intensifies as they look down their noses even more at outsiders. Chen Feng had lived in this city for several years, putting up with direct and indirect discrimination. In the past, he could tolerate it, but now, he really didn’t need to endure anymore.
