From his conversation with Du Xiaowei, Ling Zhenfei could clearly tell that they, father and son, could indeed be described as "birds of a feather flock together." Both were extremely opportunistic, cunning in their schemes, and unscrupulous in achieving their goals.

For such petty figures, Ling Zhenfei hadn't bothered with them before; but once he encountered one, there was no question, he would confront them head-on!

"You... Kid, what do you mean by that?"

Although Du Xiaowei was treacherous, he was still unclear about his father's actions. Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, he was taken aback and confused.

"Zhenfei..."

Han Lian's gaze shifted between the two men's faces before finally turning to Ling Zhenfei with urgency, signaling him not to say too much.

Ever since she learned from Ling Zhenfei that Du Kongting intended to harm Lin Zhengnan, Han Lian had decided to investigate this case in secret.

However, before she could proceed with this case, it was interrupted by a series of major incidents that followed, forcing her to put it on hold.

"Du Xiaowei, listen well, your father is definitely not a good person, let alone a good brother. If you have any questions, just go ask your old man, and he'll tell you the outcome!"

Ling Zhenfei ignored Han Lian's hints and said to Du Xiaowei with a sneer.

"You... Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to tarnish my dad's reputation!"

Du Xiaowei couldn't take in what Ling Zhenfei was saying and, pointing towards the security guards at the door, roared loudly: "This man is a madman; throw him out! Get him out!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

These bodyguards were specially hired by Du Kongting for Du Xiaowei, whose commands were absolute to them. The bodyguards immediately swung their fists, surging toward Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei's current strength had reached the Mingmu Realm, which was like using a cannon to swat a fly against these minor martial artists from the Innate Realm—it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

But in order to deter these arrogant and self-important guys, Ling Zhenfei still had to be willful this time.

"Asking for death!"

Seeing four or five big men attacking him ferociously, Ling Zhenfei roared in anger, a gleam exploded in his eyes, and Origin Energy surged like a tide on his right fist. Rather than evading, he moved forward and punched the first bodyguard who approached, sending him flying several meters back, spitting blood.

Ah!

Ling Zhenfei's powerful blow left the bodyguards stunned.

It should be noted that the first bodyguard to attack was the strongest among them, and yet he was sent flying by a single punch from Ling Zhenfei. If the rest of them surged forward, wouldn't they be courting death?

"Attack together, kill him!"

Du Xiaowei was equally shocked by Ling Zhenfei's move, but he couldn't just watch his own face being discredited. He roared out, somewhat hysterically, ordering the bodyguards.

The bodyguards, who dared not neglect Du Xiaowei's command, glanced at each other for a while before reluctantly bracing themselves to charge forward.

"Stop!"

Just as the bodyguards surrounded Ling Zhenfei again, preparing to attack, a sharp reprimand came from the spirit hall, and it was Lin Yuluo.

At the same time, a gorgeous figure ran over quickly, standing in front of Ling Zhenfei, and shouted at Du Xiaowei: "Du Xiaowei, Ling Zhenfei is my friend, and also my lifesaver; how can you treat him like this?"

Lin Yuluo had been immersed in the grief of losing her father these past few days, standing in a daze in front of her father's spirit. She hadn't even noticed the commotion at the door until now.

She snapped awake, only to see Du Xiaowei commanding everyone to attack Ling Zhenfei, so she immediately flew over to intervene.

"Yuluo, how could you possibly associate with a country bumpkin like this? How could this guy be your friend? Move aside, and let me teach him a lesson on your behalf!"

Seeing how concerned Lin Yuluo was for Ling Zhenfei, Du Xiaowei felt even more jealous and angry.

Although he had grown up with Lin Yuluo, she had always treated him with indifference, like any other friend. Even when Lin Zhengnan intended to match them, she showed no interest in him.

And today, to see Lin Yuluo show such closeness to an outsider right in front of him, how could he not feel a surge of jealousy burning within him?

"Du Xiaowei, please don't go too far!"

Seeing Du Xiaowei being so overbearing, Lin Yuluo trembled with anger and said, "Du Xiaowei, you're nobody to me. Who I choose to interact with is my freedom, and it's none of your business!"

"How can it not be my business? Yuluo, I am your fiancé, of course, I should care about you!"

Lin Yuluo's words only infuriated Du Xiaowei further. His handsome face had turned beet red with anger, and his neck bulged with tension. He looked hideous, like an inflated toad at its bursting point.

"Du Xiaowei, behave yourself. I have never acknowledged our engagement, and I have always rejected it, even when my father was alive. Please, can't you stop forcing me into this?"

Lin Yuluo was a resolute woman, clearly enraged by Du Xiaowei's incessant pressure, fearlessly locking gazes with him.

"How dare you, you slut! I've been wooing you relentlessly for years, and you've ignored me completely. Turns out you've already hooked up with this adulterer! I'm going to kill you for this betrayal!"

In a fit of rage and humiliation, Du Xiaowei lost all pretense and raised his arm to strike Lin Yuluo viciously across the face...

Slap!

A loud, crisp slap rang through the air.

The sound of this unexpected slap shocked all who heard it and bewildered the one who received it.

Du Xiaowei covered his stinging face, dizzy and confused, truly unable to grasp what just happened.

This slap—wasn't he clearly aiming for Lin Yuluo? How did it end up on his own face?

In fact, not only was Du Xiaowei stunned, but so were the bodyguards. They had clearly seen Du Xiaowei attempt to hit someone, but unexpectedly, the one with the swollen face turned out to be Du Xiaowei himself!

However, all of them were martial artists; their astonishment lasted but a moment.

Very quickly, they understood that Ling Zhenfei had struck with the speed of lightning, slapping Du Xiaowei so hard he was left reeling!

"This..."

At this moment, not only were the others dumbfounded, even Lin Yuluo herself had not expected things to turn out this way. It was more thrilling than watching a TV drama!

"Yuluo, let's step aside first. Zhenfei will handle this!" Just as Lin Yuluo was somewhat unsure how to deal with the situation, Han Lian pulled her aside.

She was a police officer, and although she did not want Ling Zhenfei to cause trouble, this Du Xiaowei was just too disgusting.

It was absurd; this bastard not only bullied people with his power but even dared to hit a woman? If they didn't let Ling Zhenfei properly teach this jerk a lesson, would he really think women were easy to bully?

"You... kid, did you hit me? How dare you hit me?"
