Without warning, the chair disintegrated. Caught completely off guard, Wei Liang tumbled backward, landing flat on his back. The food he was holding scattered everywhere, leaving him looking utterly disheveled...

"PFFT..." Seeing Wei Liang's embarrassing fall, Li Liping couldn't help but burst out laughing, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Feng with profound meaning, a very suggestive smile playing on her lips...

Li Liping knew Wei Liang's chair had collapsed because Lin Feng had done something... She knew that fellow Lin Feng was definitely capable of such a thing!

Cao Ying covered her mouth and chuckled. She hadn't immediately suspected Lin Feng; she was simply amused by Wei Liang's pathetic state...

Sprawled on the floor, Wei Liang became the focus of countless stares from the other patrons. His earlier debonair air had vanished without a trace. Wei Liang's face burned, and a nameless rage welled up inside him...

"Bastard, you must have tampered with it! How dare you make a fool out of me! Are you looking to die?!" Wei Liang struggled to his feet, brushing dust off his clothes while glaring at Lin Feng and roaring.

"Heh..." Lin Feng watched Wei Liang and gave a cold laugh. Wei Liang had guessed correctly; Lin Feng *had* used his outwardly projected Inner Strength to shatter the chair's structure. But what evidence did Wei Liang have? Lin Feng had never touched the chair. Even if he confessed to breaking it from afar with his Inner Strength, ordinary people who had never seen true martial arts masters wouldn't believe him!

"Idiot... that chair was broken. Didn't I warn you not to sit on it?" Lin Feng shook his head slightly, speaking with feigned concern.

"You're talking utter nonsense!" Wei Liang was practically seething with rage at Lin Feng. Of course, he didn't believe a word Lin Feng said. Longyue Building had nearly a thousand employees inspecting safety daily. The chances of him coincidentally sitting on a broken chair were nil; there probably wasn't a single piece of damaged furniture in the entire establishment. Lin Feng was clearly lying through his teeth!

"You must have tampered with it! You wanted to make me look like a fool in front of the ladies!" Wei Liang's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lin Feng, his voice cold. The inadvertent laughter from Li Liping and Cao Ying had deeply humiliated him. In this situation, he absolutely had to get back at Lin Feng to save face; otherwise, it would be too mortifying...

"Do you have any proof?" Lin Feng met Wei Liang's stare, a faint smile on his lips as he asked softly.

"Your admission is all I need... I, Wei Liang, never need proof for my actions!" Wei Liang suddenly laughed with great confidence. He pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said gravely into the mouthpiece, "Mr. Jiang, bring a couple of men to Fengyue Restaurant. I've run into a bit of trouble here!"

Lin Feng watched Wei Liang with an amused smile and spoke again, "I haven't admitted anything. Are you always this unreasonable?"

"Hmph... Just your bad luck to run into me when I'm not in the mood for reason!" Wei Liang glared at Lin Feng and said in a low voice, "Everyone in Longyue Building knows I rarely show interest in women. But once I set my sights on one, absolutely no one escapes my grasp!"

Hearing Wei Liang's "domineering" declaration, Lin Feng merely smiled without saying a word. This whole place is a den of insufferable pests, Lin Feng thought. Every person he met was some self-important second-generation brat. This Wei Liang was even more outrageous than Yang Ling from earlier… After all, Yang Ling was the deputy mayor's son, so his arrogance was somewhat understandable. There weren't many people in Jiangzhou Yang Ling couldn't afford to provoke. It was just his rotten luck that he chose Cao Ying to harass! But who did this Wei Liang think he was? How dare he be so arrogant...

"Young Master, are you alright..."

Before long, Lin Feng saw a burly man, about 1.95 meters tall, stride into the restaurant. He anxiously asked Wei Liang what had happened, followed by three slightly shorter but equally powerfully built, black-clad bodyguards.

The four men who entered were Wei Liang's bodyguards. The leader, the towering Jiang Hua, was an expert with second-layer Inner Strength cultivation and served as Wei Liang's personal bodyguard...

Lin Feng showed no sign of nervousness at the arrival of Jiang Hua and his men. He continued eating, watching Wei Liang with a teasing smile. He wondered what Wei Liang would do next...

"Mr. Jiang, you're just in time..." Seeing Jiang Hua, Wei Liang instantly felt more confident. He pointed at Lin Feng and said in a highly annoyed tone, "This kid just knocked me to the ground and really pissed me off. Drag him out of here for me..."

After hearing Wei Liang's command, Jiang Hua's cold eyes swept over Lin Feng. Then… his expression became quite peculiar. He looked somewhat surprised, but more than that, there was... fear...

It turned out that the moment Jiang Hua's gaze fell upon Lin Feng, Lin Feng had subtly released his Inner Strength control, momentarily revealing the aura of a peak third-layer Inner Strength cultivator. This instantly intimidated Jiang Hua...

As an Inner Strength cultivator himself, Jiang Hua knew his cultivation was no match for Lin Feng's. Initially, he'd thought Lin Feng was just an ordinary person. Even if Lin Feng had a prominent status, following his young master's orders to drag Lin Feng away wouldn't be a big deal. If anyone came looking for trouble afterward, they'd be looking for Wei Liang... But now that Jiang Hua knew Lin Feng was an Inner Strength cultivator, and one whose cultivation far surpassed his own, he was at a loss... Dragging Lin Feng away was basically an impossible task... He knew that Lin Feng exposing his cultivation was a warning. If he dared to overestimate his own abilities and make a move against Lin Feng, he would likely die a horrible death!

"Young... Young Master, may I ask how exactly this gentleman... made you fall?" Jiang Hua asked, his gaze flicking to the shattered chair on the floor, his tone extremely odd.

Wei Liang, still oblivious that Jiang Hua was already planning a retreat, thought he was merely curious. He laughed casually and replied, "I wanted to sit in this chair, but this punk insisted I shouldn't. The moment I sat down, he tampered with it, making the chair instantly disintegrate! It made me lose face completely! Mr. Jiang, you tell me, how can I not avenge this?"

Jiang Hua's expression grew even stranger. His eyes gleamed sharply as he stared at Wei Liang and asked again, "Young Master, are you saying he tampered with the chair you were sitting on from over a meter away?"

"Damn it, you still don't believe me?!" Wei Liang clearly misunderstood Jiang Hua's intention, thinking Jiang Hua doubted his words. "If he didn't break the chair from over a meter away, are you saying I was too heavy and broke it myself? Mr. Jiang, stop spouting nonsense and drag him out! Right, this has nothing to do with the two babes with him. Don't scare the young ladies..."

"That settles it..." After hearing Wei Liang's words, Jiang Hua's face suddenly turned grim. He strode towards Wei Liang, grabbed his arm, and began dragging him towards the exit, saying in a low, urgent voice, "Young Master, we need to leave, now! If we don't go immediately, there'll be serious trouble!"
