I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Chen Gang's mind went blank for a moment.

Then, memories flooded back like a tide.

Yue Lai Xiang Restaurant.

When Lao Zhou was beaten by a young girl, Liu Shao not only didn't stand up for him, but also made Lao Zhou apologize to the girl who hit him.

Later, after Liu Shao returned to the private room, he said something.

"My dad said that no one in the entire Qingyang County can afford to mess with this person."

That person.

Chen Gang's gaze fell on Luo Fei's face; it was this young man.

The person Liu Shao mentioned, someone no one in the entire Qingyang County could afford to offend.

Now, the person he's going to marry is his sister? The girl who beat Old Zhou so badly he couldn't fight back?

Chen Gang's legs suddenly felt weak.

Lin Zongwei pointed at Luo Fei and introduced him to Chen Gang with a hint of smugness: "Mr. Chen, this is my nephew, Luo Fei. He's young and doesn't know any better, please don't take it to heart..."

Chen Gang turned his head upon hearing the sound, his gaze falling on Lin Zongwei.

His gaze stunned Lin Zongwei.

There was not a trace of admiration or satisfaction in his eyes.

There was only fear and an uncontrollable rage.

Lin Zongwei didn't understand.

Chen Gang had already looked away and was now looking at Luo Fei again.

The arrogance on his face had completely vanished, replaced by a cautious fear.

He took two steps forward and stopped three or four meters away from Luo Fei.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he bent down.

"Mr. Luo... Mr. Luo."

His voice trembled slightly.

Luo Fei's gaze fell on Chen Gang.

He recognized that face.

At the time, Chen Gang was following behind Liu Ming, and Luo Fei only glanced at him, not paying any attention to him.

Now, that face appeared before him again.

He was bent over, a cautious smile plastered on his face, and his eyes filled with undisguised fear.

Luo Fei spoke, his voice cold.

"So you're going to marry my sister?"

Chen Gang's mind went blank.

His legs went weak.

His knee slammed directly into the ground.

With a "thump," the sound was muffled.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Lin Zongwei's mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, Wang Cuifen's eyes were wide open like saucers, and Lin Mengran, standing next to the Mercedes, almost dropped her phone.

Chen Gang knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

His body was trembling violently: "Mr. Luo, it's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

He raised his hand, pointing at the stunned Lin Zongwei beside him, and explained incoherently, "It was him! He was the one who mentioned it to me! He said he had a niece who got into Kyoto University, that she's beautiful, and that he wanted to introduce her to me! I haven't even seen a picture! Really! I swear!"

He clasped his hands together above his head, his posture extremely humble.

"Mr. Luo, if I had known it was your sister, I would never have dared to do this! I wouldn't have dared to even if you gave me a hundred lives!"

He touched his forehead to the ground and kowtowed.

"Mr. Luo, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time! I don't know Lin Zongwei at all. He was just trying to curry favor with me, so I casually mentioned that I was just checking in! I really don't know anything!"

His voice was trembling with sobs.

He had personally witnessed Liu Shao's attitude at Yue Lai Xiang that day.

Who does Chen Gang think he is?

Having lived in Qingyang County for so many years, I've accumulated some wealth and know a few leaders.

But compared to Liu Zhendong, he's nothing.

Even Liu Zhendong can't afford to offend him, so how dare he?

That bastard Lin Chongwei is pushing him into a fire pit!

Chen Gang knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

Lin Chong Wei finally snapped out of his shock.

He looked at Chen Gang kneeling on the ground, then at Luo Fei standing at the door, his mind a complete mess.

How is that possible?

Why would President Chen kneel down to him?

Mr. Chen is a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions!

Lin Zongwei instinctively took a step forward, saying, "Mr. Chen, what are you doing? He's my nephew, just a young man, please don't..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Gang suddenly raised his head and glared at Lin Zongwei. His eyes were so vicious they looked like he wanted to kill him.

That bastard, he never even offered to send him a photo.

Speaking of my niece, she got into Kyoto University and she's beautiful.

If he had known that this niece was Luo Fei's sister, he would never have come, even if it meant his death.

He never expected that Lin Zongwei and Luo Fei were related.

Lin Zongwei was so frightened by that look that he took a step back and bumped into Wang Cuifen.

Wang Cuifen was also stunned, muttering to herself, "What's going on..."

Chen Gang ignored them and turned to Luo Fei, his voice becoming humble again.

"Mr. Luo, please say the word. I'll accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate."

Luo Fei looked at him without saying a word; the courtyard was eerily quiet.

The only sounds were Chen Gang's heavy breathing and the rapid heartbeats of Lin Zongwei and the other two.

After a while?

Luo Fei spoke up.

"roll."

There is only one word.

But Chen Gang felt relieved.

He knelt on the ground and said three times, "Thank you, Mr. Luo...!"

Then he scrambled to his feet, his legs still weak, and almost fell again.

He staggered towards the Mercedes, and shouted into the car, "Old Zhang! Open the trunk!"

Driver Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the trunk.

Chen Gang ran to the back of the car, took out two cases of liquor from the trunk, and then took out two packs of cigarettes.

He carried these things back to Luo Fei, bent down, and carefully placed them next to the threshold.

"Mr. Luo, this is a small token of my appreciation for your parents, as an apology. Please don't find it offensive."

His voice was ingratiating.

Luo Fei didn't look at him.

Chen Gang didn't dare to linger. He bowed again, turned around, and ran away.

He ran to the car, opened the door, climbed in, and shouted to the driver, "Go! Turn around! Leave now!"

The Mercedes started up, made a quick U-turn at the entrance of the farmhouse, and sped away.

It kicked up a trail of dust.

The courtyard fell silent again.

Lin Zongwei stood there, motionless, like a wooden stake.

Wang Cuifen stood behind him, her expression a mix of shock and fear.

Lin Mengran was still standing by the roadside, the screen of her phone lighting up and dimming repeatedly.

She watched the Mercedes drive away, then looked at Luo Fei standing at the door, her expression complex.

She suddenly remembered her behavior just now.

She thought that Chen Gang's arrival would put these people in control.

She thought that Luo Fei's family would bow down to Chen Gang.

She thought...

Lin Mengran's face suddenly felt hot.

Luo Fei's gaze fell on the three people, and he spoke calmly.

"Today, I will only say it once."

Lin Zongwei and the other two froze simultaneously.

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

"That's it for today. I won't pursue this further."

He paused.

"But only this once."

His gaze swept over the three people.

"If there's a next time, no matter what you're here for or what you're planning, we won't take you back."

His voice turned cold.

"I will make you regret ever being born."

Lin Zongwei's legs began to tremble.

Wang Cuifen's face turned pale.

Lin Mengran lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

After Luo Fei finished speaking, he turned and went into the house.

Luo Weidong glanced at the three people, then helped Li Xiulan inside.

Luo Youfu stood in the courtyard and waved to them, "Go on, go on, what are you still standing here for?"

Lin Zongwei snapped out of his daze and pulled Wang Cuifen away.

Wang Cuifen was dragged along by him, staggering, and muttering something under her breath, but her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum.

Lin Mengran followed behind without saying a word.

The three of them left the courtyard and headed towards the village entrance.

Their car was parked at the village entrance, an old Wuling van, which belonged to Lin Zongwei.

Once in the car, Lin Zongwei started the engine, his hands still trembling, and it took him several tries to insert the key.

The car started moving and headed out of the village.

None of the three spoke a word the entire way.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was oppressive.

After driving for more than half an hour, we entered Qingshan Town and stopped in front of an old residential building.

This is Lin Zongwei's home.

The apartment is on the third floor, with three bedrooms and a living room. I've lived here for over twenty years.

The three people went upstairs, opened the door, and went inside.

In the living room, a middle-aged woman was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Her name is Yang Xue, and she is Lin Zongwei's wife.

She was in her forties, with curly hair, cheap cosmetics on her face, and bright red lips.

Yang Xue was taken aback when she saw the three people come in.

Looking at Lin Zongwei's ashen face, Wang Cuifen's evasive eyes, and Lin Mengran's lowered head, her doubts grew stronger.

"Where did you all go?" She put down the remote. "I came back and there was no one here. No one cooked dinner. They didn't answer my calls or reply to my texts. What are you guys up to?"

Lin Chong Wei didn't say anything, walked to the sofa and sat down, his head down.

Wang Cuifen also sat down, her eyes fixed on the floor.

Lin Mengran leaned against the wall, remaining silent.

Yang Xue narrowed her eyes.

Her gaze swept across the three people's faces.

"What exactly happened?"

No one answered.

Yang Xue's temper flared up.

She stood up, walked up to Lin Zongwei, and looked down at him.

"Lin Chong Wei, I'm asking you a question!"

Lin Zongwei raised his head, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

Yang Xue then looked at Wang Cuifen and asked, "Mom, where did you all go?"

Wang Cuifen avoided eye contact, not daring to look at her.

Yang Xue's heart sank.

She knows this family too well.

Judging from their current state, something must have happened.

She stared at Lin Zongwei and asked, word by word.

"Did you go to see Li Xiulan?"

Lin Zongwei's body trembled.

Wang Cuifen lowered her head even further.

Lin Mengran leaned against the wall, motionless.

Yang Xue's expression changed.
