Du Xiaowei, after being slapped by Ling Zhenfei so hard that he spun around in place, saw Ling Zhenfei standing in front of him with a cold sneer and realized he had been hit by his opponent. He was immediately enraged with a mix of anger and humiliation, opened his mouth, and yelled at Ling Zhenfei like a scolding duck.

Smack! Smack!

Before Du Xiaowei could finish his outburst, Ling Zhenfei unapologetically slapped both sides of his face with fierce backhands, immediately turning his pretentious facade as puffy as a pig's head, barely able to keep his eyes open.

"You..." Du Xiaowei had intended to roar a few more times in pretense, but seeing Ling Zhenfei warming up his hands again, his face twisted in fright and he abruptly swallowed the words he had intended to say.

"Idiot!"

Ling Zhenfei gave him a fierce look and barked coldly, "I despise men who hit women the most, especially those who dare to strike beauties. They are truly not human!

Consider these slaps a lesson. If you dare disrespect Yuluo again, I'll hit you so hard even your parents won't recognize you, believe it or not?"

"I... uh..."

Although Du Xiaowei was furious enough to kill, whatever pride he had left had been utterly crushed by Ling Zhenfei's force, leaving him to just cover his face and whimper, not daring to utter even a word in protest.

"What has happened here?" Just as Ling Zhenfei's presence was dominating the scene, they heard Du Kongting's voice coming from behind the crowd.

Du Kongting had been outside dealing with Lin Zhengnan's aftermath when he suddenly noticed the commotion and hurried over to check.

When he arrived, he saw his son Du Xiaowei so badly beaten that he almost didn't recognize him, and he exclaimed in shock, "Xiaowei, what happened to you? Who has beaten you up like this?"

"Dad, this guy... he hit me... uh uh uh..."

Having been slapped multiple times by Ling Zhenfei, Du Xiaowei had not dared to cry, but seeing his father had arrived, he immediately felt aggrieved like a child who had been starved for three days, hiding behind Du Kongting and pointing at Ling Zhenfei to complain to his father.

In Du Xiaowei's eyes, Du Kongting was always his greatest support.

He never realized that his father had actually been relying on Lin Zhengnan's influence, even crediting to himself the fact that Lin Zhengnan had been sponsoring him to study abroad.

In Du Xiaowei's view, his father was omnipotent, at least in Binyang City.

Now, with his father intervening, teaching Ling Zhenfei a lesson and avenging him seemed like a trivial matter.

"How dare someone beat my son like this? I'll kill him!"

As Du Kongting's only son, Du Xiaowei was his most treasured, and seeing his precious son beaten like this, he erupted in furious rage.

However, as he followed the direction of Du Xiaowei's pointing finger and realized that the assailant was Ling Zhenfei, his expression stiffened as though he had kicked a steel plate, a mix of pain, entanglement, and embarrassment...

"Dad, it was this guy, it was him! He not only hit me, but also tried to steal Yuluo from me. You must teach him a lesson and let him feel the wrath of the Du Family!"

Yet, Du Xiaowei failed to notice the sudden change on Du Kongting's face and, hearing his father's dominance, felt utterly triumphant.

However, the next second after he had spoken, he saw Du Kongting grab his arm and start to pull him away.

"Dad, where are you taking me? He hit me, you have to avenge me!" Du Xiaowei felt puzzled and stubbornly refused to leave.

"Xiaowei, let's go fast. We can't afford to provoke the man who hit you for now!"

In front of so many people, Du Kongting's outrageous claims had just been shattered, leaving him without face and without recourse, except to lean close to his son and whisper in his ear.

Ling Zhenfei, relying solely on his own strength, had ventured deep into the jungle to pursue the criminals and had annihilated the criminal gang, bringing back Tan Shaojie as well.

Although the police had been concealing this incident, Du Kongting, who was well-informed, had known about it for a long time.

Ever since earlier, Du Kongting had been vague about Ling Zhenfei, but now that he heard that Tan Shaojie and his group had been taken down by him, how could he dare to stand strong against Ling Zhenfei?

It was known that Tan Shaojie and his five top experts each were ruthless demons who would kill without even blinking! Ling Zhenfei had actually dared to chase them down alone and clean them out. Handling himself would be even easier, wouldn't it?

"Dad, what are you saying?"

Although Du Kongting's words were whispered into Du Xiaowei's ear, the impact was no less forceful than a thunderclap, sending him staggering back several steps, unable to believe his own ears.

However, Du Xiaowei, who had been educated abroad for many years, had also adopted the foreigners' stubbornness.

He simply refused to believe his father's words, screaming madly, "No! Dad, I don't care, I'm your only son. How can you just watch me get beaten like this and do nothing? If you don't stand up for me today, I will disown you as my father!"

These words once again shook Du Kongting to the core.

After his facial muscles went through a complicated series of twitches and expressions, Du Kongting finally adopted an embarrassed stance and reflexively slapped his son across the face.

Then, before Du Xiaowei could react, he grabbed his son by the collar and dragged him in front of Ling Zhenfei, speaking in a very humble and low voice, "I apologize, Young Master Ling. My son does not recognize you, and if he has said anything offensive, I hope you can forgive his ignorance!"

This...

If Du Kongting had erupted in a furious rage at this point and had ordered his bodyguards to attack Ling Zhenfei, they could have understood that.

But now, knowing that his son had been beaten into a ghastly state and not only failing to seek revenge for his son but also grovelingly apologizing to Ling Zhenfei...

This... what on earth was this tactic?

Everyone was puzzled, and Du Kongting felt like a mute who has eaten bitter herb, unable to voice his agony.

He had thought that by acting so humbly, Ling Zhenfei would have gained enough face and would naturally find excuses to step down. However, Ling Zhenfei completely ignored him, not even sparing a glance at the father and son.

"Uh..."

With a roll of his eyes, Du Kongting, although cursing Ling Zhenfei bitterly inside, was absolutely helpless. He had to feign righteous indignation and shouted at his son, "Unfilial son! What are you still doing standing there? Apologize to Young Master Ling now!"

"Dad..."

Never in his wildest dreams did Du Xiaowei expect that his father would actually require him to apologize to Ling Zhenfei, leaving him utterly speechless.

Smack!

Consumed with rage, Du Kongting slapped his son hard across the face again and sharply barked, "Apologize now!"

Though Du Kongting's anger was provoked by Ling Zhenfei, he dared not lash out at Ling Zhenfei but had to direct his anger at his son instead.

Today, Du Xiaowei's handsome face had truly been beaten into a pulp. Seeing his father's furious demeanour, he felt extremely aggrieved but had to swallow all his resentment.
