"Of course, I won..." Lin Feng rolled his eyes, glared at Lu Pengju, and said grumpily.

"Then why don't you look happy that you won?" Lu Pengju was very curious. Had Lin Feng been hurt?

"...If you've clearly caught someone with a capture technique, they've admitted defeat, and then, when you're not paying attention, they pull a 'monkey stealing peaches' on you, would you be happy?" Lin Feng looked at Lu Pengju and asked seriously.

Zhou Yang, who had been stern-faced before, couldn't help but burst out laughing. In their contest in the room, he had indeed been defeated by Lin Feng's capture technique. However, at the end, Zhou Yang played a trick, successfully ambushing Lin Feng and nearly 'stealing his peaches.' It was practically a finishing blow!

The key point was that Lin Feng had once told Zhou Yang that as long as he could injure him, it wouldn't matter if he played dirty. Although Zhou Yang's move had been measured and Lin Feng's reaction wasn't slow—ultimately, his 'peaches' weren't harmed—Lin Feng naturally felt disgraced at being hit by such a despicable tactic.

"Monkey Stealing Peaches?! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH... That kid is truly devious!" Lu Pengju exclaimed with a sigh, his gaze involuntarily drifting to where Lin Feng's 'peaches' would be. "Master, are your 'peaches' okay?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Lin Feng, utterly speechless, pushed Lu Pengju away. He casually picked up a mug of beer from the table and started drinking, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG.

Only then did Lu Pengju and Xie Nan step aside, clutching their stomachs and roaring with laughter.

Afterwards, Long Xiaoyun engaged Lin Feng in a lengthy conversation. In front of Long Jiu, Long Xiaoyun adopted a very humble stance, and in his words, he pleaded with Lin Feng to be sure to lend him a hand when necessary.

Lin Feng noticed something unusual in Long Xiaoyun's tone. Seeing his flickering gaze and hesitant expression, Lin Feng found it odd. Does Long Xiaoyun have some unmentionable secret he wants to tell me?

However, before Lin Feng had a chance to ask Long Xiaoyun clearly, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed Ning Aoxue's name. But when Lin Feng answered the phone, he heard Su Zi's bright, clear voice from the receiver, "Hello, handsome! Miss Ning and I have finished dinner. Where are you now? Do you have any plans for tonight?"

Xue Qingyi, sitting beside Lin Feng, felt her gaze sharpen slightly upon hearing the clear female voice from the phone. She then glanced at Lin Feng with a half-smile, a complex expression on her face.

"I'm at the Fenghuo Bar," Lin Feng said awkwardly into the phone. "I'll be back soon."

"You're at the Fenghuo Bar? No need! Miss Ning and I are on a street nearby; we'll come over to find you now." Su Zi sounded very cheerful and said teasingly over the phone, "Don't get me wrong, it's not me who's eager to see you. It's a certain campus beauty who can't wait to meet you... OH HOHOHO!"

Just before Su Zi hung up, Lin Feng faintly heard Ning Aoxue's coquettish voice chiding her from the side.

"AHEM... a call from a classmate," Lin Feng said, putting down his cell phone and smiling awkwardly at Xue Qingyi.

"It's Su Zi and Ning Aoxue, right?" Xue Qingyi smiled strangely. She had long investigated the people around Lin Feng and naturally knew what his two "classmates" were all about. When Xue Qingyi found out that Lin Feng had "stooped" to being someone's personal bodyguard for a mere one hundred thousand yuan a month, she initially felt something was off. But when she saw Su Zi and Ning Aoxue's appearances, her confusion vanished. Lin Feng is truly a man true to his nature!

"Since you already know, I don't need to explain." Lin Feng felt a bit sheepish facing Xue Qingyi and chuckled dryly. "They're probably looking for me for something urgent, so I'm afraid I have to leave now. Xie Nan is the host; make sure to take good care of everyone."

Xie Nan, seated a little way off, made a reassuring gesture to Lin Feng.

"I'll go out with you." Xue Qingyi suddenly stood up with Lin Feng, not waiting for his input, and gently took his arm. "Take me to meet them."

Xue Qingyi smiled very naturally. She wanted to put Lin Feng in an awkward position and see how he would introduce her to Ning Aoxue and Su Zi.

Lin Feng was stunned. However, he had no reason to refuse Xue Qingyi's request. After all, Xue Qingyi was his woman now, and he couldn't just turn down such a small request from her.

Thus, Xue Qingyi, nestling close to Lin Feng like a dependent little bird, walked out of the Fenghuo Bar's main entrance with him.

"OH? Your pretty classmates seem to be in trouble!" Just as they stepped out of the bar, Xue Qingyi nudged Lin Feng's arm, pointed across the street, and said in a low, playful voice.

"What pretty classmates? It's just an assignment." Lin Feng was speechless at Xue Qingyi's words, knowing she was prone to jealousy. He could only try to placate her by saying it was just a mission. However, when Lin Feng followed the direction of Xue Qingyi's pointing hand and looked over, his expression changed slightly.

Less than thirty meters from the Fenghuo Bar, on the side of the road, Ning Aoxue and Su Zi were being blocked by several young men. These youths, with their loafer-like demeanor, appeared to be hitting on them. At this moment, Ning Aoxue's expression was one of disgust, while Su Zi, beside her, was still smiling and watching the young men, an amused, spectating look on her face.

"Aren't you going to help?" Xue Qingyi glanced at Lin Feng with a smile and said teasingly.

"ER, I'll go take a look. After all, I'm getting paid. It wouldn't be good if something happened to them." Lin Feng said this, and even he felt a pang of guilt. Wasn't that statement a bit too much like protesting one's innocence only to reveal it?

Xue Qingyi gave Lin Feng a meaningful look, her cherry lips slightly pursed. She seemed deep in thought but said nothing.

"What's going on here? Who are you people?" Lin Feng asked, frowning as he slowly walked up to Ning Aoxue and Su Zi.

"HAH! Another hero coming to rescue the damsels?" The blond-haired youth who had been talking to Ning Aoxue and Su Zi let out a disdainful snort. "You brat! Stay out of this! It's none of your business. Scram as far as you can, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Heh..." Lin Feng casually glanced at the clamoring youth in front of him, feeling something was amiss. There were five young men blocking Ning Aoxue and Su Zi. He had initially thought they were just some delinquents hitting on pretty girls, but looking at their attire and demeanor now, they didn't seem like common street thugs. They looked more like actual gang members!

They looked a bit nervous when they saw Lin Feng approach. Moreover, despite being in front of several beauties, there wasn't much lewdness on their faces. It seemed like they had other intentions for Ning Aoxue and Su Zi!
