Li Renfeng's face darkened visibly.
Almost everyone instinctively held their breath, looking at the boss who had just spoken with an expression of utter disbelief.
It's like they're rubbing salt in the wound. Li Renfeng is different from these ordinary people; he's Martial Artist, and a genuine Late-Stage Fourth-Rank Martial Artist at that!
The drunken boss, feeling the oppressive feeling of impending death, suddenly jolted awake and instantly sobered up.
The next second, he met Li Renfeng, knife-like eyes, and his soul almost flew out of his body.
"Look at my mouth, I deserve a beating."
As he spoke, the boss, who had just said the wrong thing, slapped himself hard across the face.
Li Renfeng's expression did not improve because of this action.
Another boss, dressed in a suit, tried to smooth things over, saying, "No offense, Lao Liu, but you've been too careless with your words. You should apologize to President Li properly."
"Yes, yes, it's my duty, it's my duty."
The boss, surnamed Liu, picked up his wine glass, stood up, and drank the wine in one gulp.
But Li Renfeng showed no intention of standing up, which made Boss Liu sweat profusely.
Boss Liu looked at the man in the suit with pleading eyes, hoping he could say a few more words in his defense.
"Just punishing yourself with a drink won't do, Lao Liu. Didn't you just marry a beautiful bride at the beginning of the year? Why don't you have her come over and apologize to President Li on your behalf?" the shop owner in the suit said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Boss Liu's eyes nearly bulged out, and his chest heaved noticeably.
Just as Boss Liu was about to explode, the man in the suit pulled him aside.
" Li Renfeng is Late-Stage Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, and everyone in the industry knows he's ruthless. Anyone who dares to offend him has never had a good ending."
"I know that, but I can't let him ruin my wife! If word gets out, I'll be laughed at to death!"
Boss Liu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, and he could barely breathe.
"Old Liu, think positively. Is your life more important or your wife?"
One sentence was enough to quell most of Boss Liu's anger, and his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Is there really no other way?" Boss Liu asked with a worried look on his face.
"If I had such a plan, would I have come up with such an idea? Li Renfeng has praised your new wife more than once or twice; anyone with eyes can see that he's interested in her. Besides, with our status and position, what kind of beautiful woman couldn't we have? Why would we risk our lives for a woman?"
"I--I--I still don't believe it! This is Fortress No. 1, the headquarters of the Divine Wind Camp is located here, how could he really dare to attack me?"
"Ha! You wouldn't dare do it openly, but you have plenty of ways to do it secretly. Do you want to gamble with your own life and the lives of your two children?"
The words of the man in the suit hit Boss Liu like a bombshell, instantly extinguishing his lingering anger.
At the same time, large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, rolling down his cheeks, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.
If he hadn't spent years navigating the cutthroat world of business, weathering countless storms, he probably would have already collapsed to his knees.
"Alright, Lao Liu, we've been brothers for years. I'll tell you a secret, and that'll make you feel much better." The shop owner in the suit sighed and patted Boss Liu on the shoulder.
What secret?
Although Boss Liu asked the question, it was just a casual question; he didn't really think his brother could say anything that would make him feel better.
After all, no man could stand the thought of his wife being given away to someone else to be abused.
Just as he was feeling so dejected, he heard the shop owner in the suit sigh, "I also sent my wife to Li Renfeng last year."
Boss Liu's mouth gaped open. His gaze towards his old friend was a mixture of shock and complex emotions, which in turn tinged with sympathy and finally transformed into admiration!
It was precisely because of this that Boss Liu made up his mind.
Turning around to Li Renfeng, he forced a fawning smile onto his greasy, overweight face.
"Mr. Li, I misspoke today. How about I call my wife over now so she can apologize to you in person?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Li Renfeng's face. "Since such a beautiful woman has come to apologize in person, I naturally have to give her face."
Approximately twenty minutes later.
Boss Liu arranged for his wife to wait in a private room.
"Mr. Li, my wife is already in the next private room. Would it be convenient for you to go over there now?"
Li Renfeng stood up and strode out of the private room, his pace quickening.
Arriving at the door next door, I couldn't wait to turn the doorknob and push the door open.
"Um?"
Why are the lights off?
By the light from outside the door, as well as the indicator lights from the LCD TV and air conditioner inside the private room, Li Renfeng could vaguely see a person sitting on the sofa.
"So you like this kind of style?"
After closing the door, Li Renfeng excitedly rushed towards the person sitting on the sofa.
Just as he reached the man, before he could even press down on him, he was suddenly kicked hard in the stomach.
The kick was incredibly powerful, nearly tearing his intestines apart. He was sent flying backward like a derailed train, crashing heavily into the wall before finally sliding to the ground.
A nauseating, sweet, and metallic taste surged in my throat, and the acid in my stomach rose uncontrollably.
"Cough cough--Wow--"
He opened his mouth and vomited a mixture of acid and blood.
"Snap." The consecration ceremony started abruptly, and the private room lit up instantly.
The sudden turn of events left Li Renfeng no time to continue vomiting. He quickly looked up, as if facing a formidable enemy, at the person on the sofa.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, an expression of disbelief appeared on Li Renfeng's face.
"Jiang! Fan!" These two words were almost squeezed out from between Li Renfeng's teeth.
"How could it be you!"
Jiang Fan stood up and looked down at Li Renfeng was lying on the ground.
"You hired people to deal with my family, so I came."
Upon hearing this, Li Renfeng instantly understood what was going on.
It seems the group he hired has been exposed.
What a bunch of useless trash!
"Are you alone?" Li Renfeng asked, glancing around the private room out of the corner of his eye.
He glanced around and realized that he and Jiang Fan were the only two people in the private room.
"Killing you is enough." That was Jiang Fan's reply.
It was this very answer that made Li Renfeng forget his pain and burst into laughter.
"That's truly the funniest joke I've ever heard! A Early-Stage Third Rank Martial Artist thinks he can kill me, a Late-Stage Fourth Rank expert? What makes you think you can? Your herd of Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros? Don't forget, this is an entertainment club. If you dare to summon demonic beasts, the commotion you cause will be considerable, and law enforcement will definitely come to stop you."
