Lin Feng acknowledged with a soft "Oh." He sat there, perfectly calm and looking quite approachable.

The officer frowned. "Sir, your child was the one who started it. His injuries are minor and he'll be fine after a day or two of rest. It's not a big deal."

The other parent stuck out his neck. "I don't care about any of that! All I know is my child got hurt!"

"They had more people, and not a single one of them is injured. Doesn't that prove my point?"

What a "I'm hurt, so I'm the victim and I'm right" attitude.

The officer was speechless. Disputes like this happened every day at the station, but people this shameless, who couldn't tell right from wrong, were a rare breed.

TAP. TAP. TAP.

A man in a meticulous suit and gold-rimmed glasses arrived, carrying a briefcase. He approached Lin Feng with a very respectful attitude.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng shook his head, stood up, and made the introduction. "This is my lawyer. You can discuss any further issues with him."

"I have other business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

The other parent and everyone else present were stunned.

Lin Feng was clearly no ordinary person. Who has a lawyer on call like that?

The parent faltered for a moment. "You're not trying to pull a fast one, are you? Let me tell you, if I don't get compensation for this, it's not over!"

The lawyer pushed up his glasses. "Sir, please direct any matters to me. I am Lawyer Wang from Sanya's Donglin Law Firm. Here is my business card."

With that, he expressionlessly handed over his card. By the time he arrived, Lin Feng had already given him a brief overview of the situation.

Looking at the parent before him, Lawyer Wang emotionlessly listed over a dozen statutes. All of them were disadvantageous to the parent, scaring the man so much his face turned pale.

Lawyer Wang turned to the officer and asked, "Are the statutes I just cited correct?"

The officer stared blankly. "Yes, that's... that's correct..."

Originally, he had thought a simple lecture for the kids would suffice. Who would have expected the other family to dig in their heels, twisting wrong into right and thinking they had the upper hand?

He never imagined they'd be the ones to take a fall in the end!

They already said they were willing to pay for the phone, so why did he have to keep pushing it?

The other parent gave a sheepish grin and quickly changed his tune. "It was just a few kids roughhousing. There's no need to be so serious about it, right?"

Lawyer Wang did not agree. "Since when are high schoolers considered 'kids'? If their parents can't teach them, then society will have to teach them a lesson on how to behave."

Lin Feng had no other demands. Those three teenagers absolutely had to be taught a profound lesson.

Lawyer Wang had no objection. Moreover, the Third Treasure, who had been insulted, was no ordinary person; she was a well-known singer. Could someone of her status be insulted so casually?

In the end, the other parent completely humbled himself, stopping just short of kneeling before Lawyer Wang. Expressionlessly, Lawyer Wang placed the bill in front of the man and strode away.

The officer had nothing more to say. Some people really do bring it on themselves. You can't even blame fate.

Since Lawyer Wang was based in Sanya, he would see the follow-up work through to the very end. The three high school students and their families would not find it easy to shake this off.

After returning home, Lin Feng made a point of chatting with the four treasures, especially the Third Treasure. He hoped she wouldn't be upset by the incident.

The Third Treasure said she wasn't taking it to heart. Instead, she felt bad for causing Lin Feng trouble.

"Silly girl, I'm your father. How could you ever be a bother to me?"

All I feel is heartache for her!

The Second Treasure chimed in, "Exactly, we're all family! Still, we admit we didn't handle it well."

"Next time something like this happens, we'll handle it ourselves and won't bother you, Dad!"

But Lin Feng said, "No matter what happens in the future, Dad will always be your staunchest supporter." He just wanted to instill in his children the idea that while they shouldn't start trouble, they should never be afraid of it. The family must stay united, and as the boys, they had a duty to protect the girls.

He gave special praise to the First and Fourth Treasures.

The First Treasure promised Lin Feng, "Dad, as the eldest brother, I'll set a good example and protect my younger brother and sisters!"

Lin Feng smiled with gratification. "Then I'm counting on you to help share the burden."

The Fourth Treasure puffed out his chest. "I'm the strongest! I'm the toughest of the boys. As long as I'm around, no one will get bullied!"

After leaving the children's room, he returned to the master bedroom and saw Zhang Yuxi, who looked like she had been waiting for some time.

"Honey, did something happen?"

"Not really."

"You're still trying to hide it from me? You think I can't tell when the atmosphere in the house is off?"

"The atmosphere isn't off. The kids just got into a dispute with someone. It was the other party's fault, and I've already mediated it."

Zhang Yuxi's tone grew urgent. "What happened?"

Lin Feng chuckled. "What could it be? You know our kids. They're so well-behaved and sensible. Someone else provoked them."

Zhang Yuxi thought for a moment. "They got into a fight, didn't they? And you got called in?"

She really is their mother. She can figure things out without needing all the details.

"Did they hurt the other kids badly?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "Those kids are clever. They only hit places that hurt a lot but don't leave obvious marks."

Zhang Yuxi let out a soft "Oh." "In that case, it's fine!"

Lin Feng was speechless. "..."

Zhang Yuxi pressed, "Tell me what started it."

Lin Feng cradled her face and said with a smile, "What else could it be? Just kids being hot-headed..."

Zhang Yuxi pouted. "That's it?"

"What else did you think it was?"

He gave her a quick kiss and chuckled. "I'm going to take a shower!" With that, he walked into the bathroom. Zhang Yuxi thought about it for a moment but decided not to press him further.

That evening, the Second Treasure was comforting the Third Treasure, telling her not to take certain words to heart. The Second Treasure had a carefree, "fight me if you got a problem" personality, so she wouldn't let such nasty words get to her. She was worried about the Third Treasure.

The Third Treasure blinked. "Why would I waste my emotions on people like that? Who are they to me?"

The Second Treasure nodded. "Exactly!"

The Third Treasure smiled faintly. "You don't have to worry about me. I'm very resilient."

The Second Treasure jumped onto her bed. "Even if you're resilient, we're still going to worry about you!"

The Third Treasure looked up at her sister's smiling face and hugged her tightly.

"I know. All of you love me so much!"

"And I love you all too!"
