Graduation

Arriving at the gates of Demon City University, Ye Feng faced the familiar campus, his heart surging with reluctance to leave that was hard to put into words. Four years had flown by, and the paths he had walked, the sights he had seen, and the things he had experienced all surfaced in his mind like vivid pictures.

Now that it was almost time to say goodbye, a pang of sorrow welled up in his heart. Sensing his mood, Li Xiaona squeezed Ye Feng's hand and said softly, "Brother Feng, don't be sad. Graduation isn't just an ending; it's a new beginning."

After adjusting his mindset, Ye Feng took Li Xiaona's hand and strode toward the campus, leaving Ye Lin alone in disarray in the wind.

His phone rang. It was Yang Dong, the eldest of his dorm brothers.

"Fourth Brother, where are you? We're all here. You're the only one missing."

"Big Brother, I'm at school. Where are you? I'll come find you."

"We're all in the school auditorium. Hurry over!"

After hanging up, Ye Feng hurried toward the auditorium with Li Xiaona and Ye Lin in tow. It wouldn't do to be late for the graduation ceremony.

As soon as he entered the auditorium, Ye Feng saw Wang Chao waving at him and walked straight over. When he reached them, he saw the three looking at him strangely. Only then did he realize he was still holding Li Xiaona's hand. Scratching his head in embarrassment, he said, "Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Li Xiaona, and that pouting little girl is my sister, Ye Lin."

"Haha, Fourth Brother, not bad! You've got good taste. Your girlfriend is beautiful, and your sister is very cute too. Nice to meet you, I'm Yang Dong."

"Fourth Brother, who would've thought? You kept it so well hidden, you rascal. You got a girlfriend without telling us. Hello, beauties, I'm Cheng Wen."

"Exactly, Fourth Brother. It's one thing to keep such a beautiful girlfriend a secret, but you've been hiding such a beautiful sister too. That's not right. Hello, I'm Wang Chao."

After introducing themselves, they found seats and sat down. The four brothers changed into their graduation gowns, and the school leaders and teachers had also taken their seats on the podium.

When the host announced the start of the graduation ceremony, enthusiastic applause filled the hall. First, the principal gave a speech. He looked back on the school's development over the past few years, acknowledged the graduates' hard work and achievements, and expressed high hopes for their future paths in life. Next, the graduate representative spoke, sharing his experiences and insights from his studies and expressing his gratitude to his alma mater and his confidence in the future.

Then came the presentation of degree certificates. The graduates went onstage one by one to receive their certificates. At that moment, brilliant smiles appeared on their faces, and a determined light shone in their eyes.

"Brothers, we've graduated! Nobody's allowed to run off tonight. It's on me! We're not going home until we're drunk!" Yang Dong said excitedly.

"No problem! Big Brother, where are we going? It can't be anywhere too low-class! Haha!"

"Yeah, Big Brother, you'd better have some good liquor ready!"

Seeing how happy his brothers were, Ye Feng decided to invite them to his place.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, come to my place today. I've already arranged everything. Give your little brother a chance!"

Yang Dong was just about to refuse when Wang Chao cut him off.

"Big Brother, let's make Fourth Brother pay through the nose tonight. That'll teach him to get a girlfriend without telling us! We need to teach this rascal a lesson, or he won't tell us when he's in trouble in the future either."

"Right, Big Brother, I think Third Brother has a point. We're making him pay tonight! Fourth Brother, get ready to bleed money today! Haha!"

Since his brothers had all said so, Yang Dong didn't insist. After all, they had four years of friendship between them, so there was no need to stand on ceremony.

"Brothers, I'll send the address to the group chat later. Six o'clock tonight-see you there!"

Once they had made their plans, they each left. Ye Feng first contacted Bai Jie and told her to prepare a dinner that evening, since he would be hosting friends, and to get ready to receive them. He also gave her the three men's names and told her to notify security to let them through, so there wouldn't be any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Then Ye Feng sent the location to the group chat and told them they only needed to give security their names.

"Brother, where are we going? I've been with you all morning. How are you going to make it up to your adorable little sister?" Seeing that he had finished his call, Ye Lin came over and asked.

Looking at his clown of a sister, Ye Feng decided to tease her.

"Hmm, since you've worked so hard today, I'll treat you to a meal at the cafeteria!"

Seeing Ye Lin's expression change like a Chuan Province face-changing performance, Li Xiaona, who was drinking water, promptly sprayed it out.

"Cough, cough, cough! Brother Feng, stop teasing Little Sister. Look at her expression, it's so cute."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Let's get something to eat at the cafeteria first, then we'll go buy a car. I prepared a gift for Linlin a while ago, but I never got around to giving it to her."

After returning from Jin City, Ye Feng had contacted Liu Wei, the salesman he was on good terms with, and bought the apartment upstairs from his previous one at Tomson Riviera, which had the same layout. He had put it in Ye Lin's name and asked Sun Ming to deliver the property ownership certificate to Cloud Villa. Tonight was the perfect time to give it to her.

They had a quick bite to eat, then set off in a taxi.

The three arrived at a Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership. Colorful balloons and banners fluttered in the wind outside, while the showroom was packed with people. It looked like there was an event on today.

Seeing that the salespeople were all busy explaining the cars' features and the available deals to customers, Ye Feng remembered Lin Yiyi, the salesperson who had served him last time. He went to the front desk and asked the young woman there, "Is the salesperson Lin Yiyi here today?"

The young woman at the front desk gave him a strange look and said, "Lin Yiyi has been fired."

Ye Feng asked in confusion, "Fired? Weren't her sales numbers very good? How could she have been fired?"

The young woman lowered her voice. "Apparently, it was because a customer came to complain about him every day, and this customer has powerful connections, so the boss had no choice but to fire Sister Yiyi. She's working at the Feichi Luxury Car Hub across the street now. I heard that customer often goes over there to give her trouble too."

Having learned the gist of what happened, Ye Feng decided to go over and see what was going on.

The three walked into the Feichi Luxury Car Hub and saw a man berating Lin Yiyi. The people nearby, perhaps wary of the man's power, didn't dare step forward to stop him.

Ye Feng immediately walked over. When he saw the man's face, he was instantly consumed by rage. It was Wang Yong.

Ye Feng went up and kicked him, sending him sprawling to the floor. He had held back his strength; otherwise, with his Peak Qi Refining strength, he could definitely have kicked him to death.

"Wang Yong, you're a disgrace to men. If you've got the guts, come after me. What kind of ability does it take to bully a girl?"

Wang Yong lay on the floor howling. At the sight of Ye Feng, his eyes burned red with hatred, as enemies' did when they met. He had been looking for Ye Feng to avenge the humiliation he had suffered at the Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership last time, but he had never managed to find him. That was why he had come to trouble the salesperson who had spoken up for Ye Feng back then.
