Zhao Sanhu's attitude left everyone present stunned. Wasn't Ling Feng just a security guard? Why was Zhao Sanhu showing him such respect?

"Could it be that this guy is... pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Was everything he told me before a lie?" Zhao Jin's heart trembled somewhat. The identity of a man who could command such awe from Zhao Sanhu must be terrifying, Zhao Jin could guess as much even by his toes!

Thinking back on his own mockery and sarcasm toward Ling Feng just a while ago, Zhao Jin was filled with remorse. He truly had been blinded by his arrogance, making such foolish mistakes!

Chen Rou was also pale as she looked at Zhao Jin with hopeful eyes! If it hadn't been for Zhao Jin's instructions, she would never have confronted Ling Feng, but now... For the first time, Chen Rou felt a deep resentment towards Zhao Jin.

"These people are friends of my classmate! I was just here to attend a class reunion!" Ling Feng lightly said to Zhao Sanhu: "I understand the situation. Although my friend went a bit too far, your cousin did wrong as well. How about we both take a step back and let this matter go?"

Zhao Sanhu's heart trembled slightly. This was Ling Feng, a guest of honor of Lady Wei! He was just a minor leader, and being able to meet Ling Feng was a great fortune for him; how could he not agree?

"Mr. Ling, you are being too polite!" Zhao Sanhu patted his chest and said, "My cousin is always causing trouble; he must be at fault! I will teach him a lesson when I get back. Today, it was my fault, Hu Zi, for ruining Mr. Ling's mood. I will punish myself with three glasses, hoping Mr. Ling will forgive me, as a generous person forgives generously!"

With that, Zhao Sanhu picked up a cup capable of holding three ounces and filled it thrice. Then, under the astonished gazes of all, he downed each glass one after the other.

Ling Feng nodded. "If that's the case, then let's forget about it."

Zhao Sanhu gratefully clasped his fists. In his view, someone of Ling Feng's stature speaking amicably to him was a great honor!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Zhao Sanhu, was presumptuous today and have disturbed everyone," Zhao Sanhu then said to those around him: "Please eat and drink well today; I will cover the bill!"

Chen Fu and Zhang Zheng exchanged glances, hardly daring to believe the scene before them. How could such a menacing figure become as docile as a kitten in a moment?

"This Ling Feng, he is no ordinary person!" Chen Fu's eyes were complex as he watched Ling Feng, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he hadn't challenged Ling Feng a while ago; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Although Zhao Sanhu had said this, his remaining influence and the presence of many burly men around still made Zhang Zheng and the others quite restrained.

Ling Feng smiled. "Why is everyone so tense? Isn't it good that someone is taking care of the bill?"

Then Ling Feng turned to Zhao Sanhu and said, "You being here... it seems they still can't relax, you..."

Zhao Sanhu quickly said, "Mr. Ling, I will leave right now!"

Soon, the group of burly men left, and Zhang Zheng and his peers finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they had survived a calamity.

At that moment, everyone's view of Ling Feng had completely changed. If anyone still thought Ling Feng was just a small security guard, then they must be out of their mind!

The few who had previously spoken sarcastically about Ling Feng also had their heads lowered, almost shrinking below their shoulders, fearing Ling Feng might remember them for a future reckoning.

Ling Feng and Chu Ziling, of course, also felt the shocked and respectful gazes from everyone.

Ling Feng shook his head and said to Chu Ziling, "Do you still want to stay here?"

Chu Ziling wiped his mouth and said, "There's no need now. Staying here would only be torture for these classmates!"

"Then let's go," Ling Feng relaxed, it seemed his mission had been accomplished.

"Do you really want to leave that eagerly?" Chu Ziling said teasingly, "Am I not beautiful enough? Is being with me really that uncomfortable?"

Ling Feng sternly replied, "Stop it, what does your beauty have to do with me?"

As he spoke, Ling Feng stood up and said to Chen Fu, "Ziling and I have some things to handle, we'll leave first. You can relax now! Zhao Sanhu won't trouble you anymore!"

After saying these words, Ling Feng, pulling Chu Ziling, left.

Chen Fu and Zhang Zheng exchanged glances and then, as if by mutual agreement, stood and followed them out.

"Mr. Ling!" In the corridor, Chen Fu and Zhang Zheng caught up with Ling Feng.

"Is there something wrong?" Ling Feng asked.

With an expression of apology and gratitude, Chen Fu said, "We owe a lot to Mr. Ling for stepping in today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "You've done well. As the class leader and organizer, you've shown great responsibility. It's impressive; you shouldn't blame yourself!"

Ling Feng looked at Zhang Zheng, who took a deep breath and then deeply bowed, "Great kindness does not warrant thanks. If there's ever a time you need me in the future, just one word from you, and I will not refuse!"

Ling Feng just smiled, said nothing, and left with Chu Ziling.

Watching their backs as they departed, Chen Fu patted Zhang Zheng's shoulder and said, "Forget it; it's clear at a glance that he is no ordinary man. Just remember his kindness, but he probably won't need your help!"

Zhang Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Even though he didn't say so, I will always remember! Ziling… Chu Ziling really has found a good place to belong!"

Chen Fu put an arm around Zhang Zheng's shoulders and said, "Alright, have you finally given up? I still remember how you used to challenge me in the dorm, saying you were determined to pursue Chu Ziling!"

"Aren't you the same?" Zhang Zheng replied with a smile, "Relying on your position in the student council, didn't you create plenty of opportunities for yourself? But unfortunately, Chu Ziling just didn't take notice of us."

"Both heartbroken, why stab each other?" Chen Fu retorted speechlessly, "Come on, let's go back and drink!"

When they returned to the banquet hall, Chen Fu found that Zhao Jin and Chen Rou were gone. After asking around, he learned that, fearing Ling Feng's retribution, they had taken advantage of the crowd and slipped away.

Chen Fu was speechless and decided to ignore them, instead rekindling the party's lively atmosphere. Yet, compared to before, everyone's faces seemed to carry some kind of hint.

"You two, why the rush to leave?" As Zhao Jin and Chen Rou were exiting the grand hotel, they were stopped by several men in black.

Zhao Jin's face turned ugly, "Why are you stopping us? I'll have you know, I'm with the Health Bureau..."

"I know, the Health Bureau's Zhao Jin, Section Chief Zhao!" At that moment, Zhao Sanhu's voice came from behind, "It's such bad luck to share the same surname as you; it's a disgrace to the name Zhao!"

With that, Zhao Sanhu waved his hand, "Take them away. These two were disrespectful to Mr. Ling, today I'm going to teach them a good lesson!"

Under the fearful gazes of Zhao Jin and Chen Rou, Zhao Sanhu's men took them away.
