Chapter 88: Li Shao of the Tiger Head Gang

Inside a private karaoke room, Xia Ruoxi looked at the heavily made-up woman in confusion. “What is all this?”

“Ruoxi, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Li. His father is the leader of the Tiger Head Gang in the capital. He is a very important man, so you must make a proper acquaintance with him!” the heavily made-up woman said excitedly.

By then, Young Master Li had already been utterly spellbound by Xia Ruoxi’s beauty. In the capital he had taken advantage of his father’s reputation to toy with many women, yet none had ever captivated him as she did. Especially now, after Xia Ruoxi had been cleansed and refined by immortal brew, her skin was fair with a faint rosy glow, and under the dim lights of the karaoke room she seemed almost a fairy descended to earth.

“Hello, beauties. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. If anyone ever bullies you in the capital, just mention my name. It will definitely work!” Young Master Li said lecherously to the three beauties before him. In particular, the one in the middle must be the president’s virgin that the heavily made-up woman had mentioned.

Xia Ruoxi was no fool. The moment she heard him admit he was from the Tiger Head Gang, she knew today’s matter would not end easily. She was a weak young woman with no one to rely on in the capital, so she immediately took out her phone and sent Lin Feng a message, telling him her location and the situation.

Only after sending the message did she notice that the man who had just introduced himself, Young Master Li, had been arranged by the heavily made-up woman to sit beside her, while her best friend had been pulled away by the same woman. Seeing this, Xia Ruoxi understood at once that it had all been arranged by that woman. She had never imagined that a dorm mate of four years in college would sell the three of them out.

As soon as Young Master Li sat down, he inhaled the delicate scent of maidenly fragrance drifting from the beauty beside him, and his heart grew restless beyond restraint. He wanted nothing more than to throw himself at her at once and have her right there. But since he had already decided she was in the bag, he wanted to enjoy the moment a little, not be too hasty and offend the lady. So he picked up the two glasses of wine on the table, handed one to Xia Ruoxi, and said, “Beauty, come and have a drink with brother.”

Xia Ruoxi was not the least bit flustered. After all, since she had been with Lin Feng, she had seen the world. More importantly, she had the support of the Lin family, one of the capital’s four great families, and she had already messaged Lin Feng. Calmly, she looked at Young Master Li and said, “Are you sure you want me to drink this? Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”

“Haha! A beauty with character. What consequences? The consequence is that brother here will make you so happy you’ll die from it!” Young Master Li laughed and leered after hearing her words. He knew the women of the great families in the capital, yet he had never seen a beauty so outrageously lovely, so he assumed Xia Ruoxi was not from here and grew even more brazen.

“You bastard!” Xia Ruoxi had not even finished speaking when her best friend cut in from the side and cursed him.

“You scumbag, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Bringing a person like this here!” Another of her friends slapped the heavily made-up woman across the face and shouted.

The heavily made-up woman clutched the half of her face that had been struck and sneered at the enraged pair from the dormitory. “What are you pretending to be so pure for? Serve Young Master Li properly, and maybe if he’s in a good mood he’ll toss you something.”

Young Master Li saw this scene and was not angry at all. Instead, he was stimulated into greater excitement, still forcing Xia Ruoxi to drink the wine in her glass. In the end, the poor woman could not resist. She was humiliated into downing a full cup of strong liquor.

After finishing the liquor, Xia Ruoxi, who could not hold her drink, immediately felt dizzy and disoriented, as though the world were spinning. Seeing that the beauty had already been drunk after just one glass, Young Master Li could barely contain his excitement. He stepped forward to hold the dazed Xia Ruoxi in his arms, and just as he was about to lean in for a kiss, the karaoke room door was kicked open violently. A figure, ghostlike, appeared instantly between him and Xia Ruoxi, snatched the drunken girl from his hands, and took her away.

The newcomer was Lin Feng. While he had been chatting with Old Master Lin at the Lin residence, he suddenly received Xia Ruoxi’s text. Seeing the mention of the Tiger Head Gang, Lin Feng could not suppress the killing intent in his heart and immediately rushed toward Golden Years with Lin Yu. Lin Yu was still parking downstairs when Lin Feng had already appeared at the door of the karaoke room.

Lin Feng looked down at the drunken Xia Ruoxi in his arms. Fortunately, her clothes were intact and she had not suffered any indignity. The tightness in his chest eased a little, though he still turned to glare at Young Master Li beside them.

“Damn it, who the hell are you, and you dare snatch the woman this young master has his eye on!” Young Master Li shouted furiously when he saw the beauty in his arms being taken away.

Because Lin Feng was holding Xia Ruoxi with both arms, he had no free hand. Otherwise, by his temperament, the other man would already be dead. Lin Feng did not respond. He simply lifted Xia Ruoxi and stood, walking toward the door. The other women in the room were so frightened by the scene that none dared to make a sound.

But Young Master Li was not about to let this go. Seeing the beauty he had set his sights on being taken away by some outsider for no reason at all, and not showing him any respect, he was furious enough to spit blood. He rushed to the doorway and blocked Lin Feng from leaving.

Just then, Lin Yu, having parked downstairs, also arrived at the karaoke room. Seeing someone blocking the door, he angrily kicked the man aside, sending Young Master Li flying several meters.

Young Master Li fell to the floor, crying out in pain. Even then, he still shouted arrogantly, “Damn it, you dare kick me? Believe me, I’ll wipe out your whole family!” But when he got back on his feet and saw that the one who had kicked him was Lin Yu, he immediately deflated. Trembling, he said, “Young Master Lin, I’m sorry. I drank too much just now and was spouting nonsense. Please don’t take offense!” For all his swagger, he was smart enough to recognize the true young prince of the capital and dared not act recklessly any longer.

Lin Feng listened calmly to the exchange between Young Master Li and Lin Yu, but beneath that calm lay a storm of killing intent. Everyone in the room could feel the murderous aura radiating from him.

“Lin Feng, is Ruoxi all right?” Lin Yu ignored the other man and asked in concern when he saw Xia Ruoxi in Lin Feng’s arms.

“She’s fine. She just drank too much.” Lin Feng answered lightly, then shifted his killing intent onto Young Master Li. “And that one—do you know him? What’s his background?”

“The son of the leader of the Dragon Soaring Gang. I’m not familiar with him, but behind the Dragon Soaring Gang stands the Wang family. Was this brat the one who caused all this? He even dared lay a hand on someone from my Lin family. It seems the Dragon Soaring Gang really is something. I’ll have to speak with Old Master Lin about this.” Lin Yu looked at Young Master Li angrily.

“Young Master Lin, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I didn’t know she was from your Lin family. If I had known, even giving me ten times the courage, I still wouldn’t have touched her!” Hearing Lin Yu, Young Master Li was so frightened that he dropped to his knees and begged for mercy.

“Hmph. I’ll settle this score with you later. Wash your neck and wait.” With those cold words, Lin Feng carried Ruoxi out of the room.

Seeing that Lin Feng had already left, Lin Yu gave Young Master Li a hard glare before turning and chasing after him. Once the two grim reapers were gone, Young Master Li could no longer hold himself up and collapsed weakly to the floor. Seeing this, the heavily made-up woman hurried over to help him to his feet and asked with feigned concern, “Young Master Li, are you all right?”

Young Master Li looked at the heavily made-up woman supporting him and thought of how everything that had happened today had sprung from her. He could not stop himself from swinging a slap across her face. When she was knocked to the ground, he still had not vented his rage, so he stepped forward and kicked her viciously again and again, cursing as he did so, “You filthy bitch! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have offended the Lin family today. Damn it, if I’m going down, you’ll be the first I kill.”

Only after beating her to the brink of death did Young Master Li finally run out of strength and leave her alone. When he was done, he hurried out of the karaoke club, presumably rushing back to the Tiger Head Gang to seek help from his father.

“Save me, somebody call an ambulance!” the heavily made-up woman cried from the floor, gasping for breath.

Only then did the remaining two dorm mates of Xia Ruoxi finally wake from the dramatic shock. In their hearts, they both had the same question: the Lin family? Which Lin family in the capital? Was that man just now Ruoxi’s boyfriend? It seemed that Xia Ruoxi’s boyfriend had considerable influence in the capital, or else he would not have feared the so-called Young Master Li at all. But when the two of them heard the heavily made-up roommate calling for help, neither of them wanted to lend a hand. Each picked up her own bag, spat contemptuously at the woman lying on the floor, and left the room together. In the end, it was a service worker coming to clean up who found the badly injured woman and called an ambulance to send her to the hospital.

In the main hall of the Lin residence, Old Master Lin and Lin Yu sat with grave expressions. Lin Yu had already reported everything that had happened in the Golden Years private room to Old Master Lin. Lin Feng was not in the hall at the moment; after carrying Xia Ruoxi back to the Lin estate, he had taken her straight upstairs.

“How outrageous! The Tiger Head Gang is becoming more and more shameless. Now they even dare to mess with my Lin family’s granddaughter-in-law. Has my Lin family been quiet for too long that even stray cats and dogs think they can bully us?” Old Master Lin said in fury, slamming the sofa as he roared.

At that moment Lin Feng also came out of the room and down into the hall, just in time to hear the old man’s angry rebuke. When Lin Yu and Old Master Lin saw him, Old Master Lin asked with concern, “Is Ruoxi all right?”

“She’s fine. She just drank too much. I’ve put her on the bed to rest, nothing serious,” Lin Feng replied expressionlessly.

“That’s good.” Old Master Lin let out a small sigh of relief, then said firmly to Lin Feng, “Rest assured, Lin Feng. I will give you an accounting for this.”

“Grandfather, Lin Feng, what should we do? I’m sure that Young Master Li didn’t even know Ruoxi was one of our Lin family’s people. Otherwise, even if he were given ten times the courage, he still wouldn’t dare touch one of us,” Lin Yu said from the side.

“Hmph, whether he did it on purpose or not, anyone who touches someone from my Lin family must pay the price. Otherwise, what will outsiders think of us? Do they believe the Lin family is easy to bully?” Old Master Lin was like an enraged lion, speaking with fierce indignation. The older generation valued face above all else, and this time Young Master Li’s actions were a severe slap to the Lin family’s reputation.

“Lin Feng, you needn’t act in this matter. It concerns the dignity of the Lin family, so it is no longer your personal affair. When your elders return this afternoon, we will discuss how best to proceed. Then we will surely give you an answer.” Old Master Lin paused, then continued his assurance to Lin Feng.
