My attempt to show off during Chinese New Year shocked the entire nation.

Just then, the designated driver rushed over on his electric scooter and apologized repeatedly as he approached the passenger window.

"Oh, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, sir. There was a bit of traffic on the way, which caused the delay."

Li Feng waved his hand, "It's alright, I understand."

The driver quickly put the electric car into the trunk, sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and started the Land Rover.

As soon as the car started moving, Li Feng caught a glimpse of something behind him out of the corner of his eye.

The man who had delivered the message was leaning against a dusty, unlicensed van, his head slightly lowered, one hand holding a phone to his ear, seemingly reporting something. His gaze kept glancing in the direction of the Land Rover with a hint of hostility.

Li Feng withdrew his gaze and lightly tapped his knee with his fingertip.

It seems that Brother Qiang's men are planning to follow.

He didn't say anything, but simply told the designated driver, "Just follow the navigation."

The driver replied "Okay," and focused intently on the steering wheel.

The Land Rover smoothly merged into the traffic. In the rearview mirror, the unlicensed van followed like a ghost, neither too close nor too far behind.

Li Feng gazed calmly at the street scene flashing past the window.

Since we can't avoid it, let's see what tricks Brother Qiang is up to.

As the car crossed a bridge, the evening breeze blew in through the half-open car window, carrying the dampness of the Qingjiang River.

Looking at the shimmering river surface below the bridge, Li Feng suddenly said to the designated driver, "Turn right at the next intersection."

The driver hesitated for a moment, as the navigation indicated he should go straight, but he still turned the steering wheel as instructed: "Okay."

The bread truck in the rearview mirror paused noticeably, as if hesitating whether to follow.

A few seconds later, the car slowly turned around, but at a greater distance.

"Is this the wrong road?" The driver asked, looking at the unfamiliar street scene.

"Take a detour and get some fresh air," Li Feng said calmly, but his gaze was fixed on the alleyway ahead.

It was a one-way street with only one exit, perfect for seeing how much patience the people behind had.

The Land Rover slowly made its way through the alley, the old walls on both sides were mottled, and the streetlights were dim, casting long shadows of the car.

The bread truck behind them panicked and sped up, almost catching up to them.

"Drive another two hundred meters and stop under that old locust tree." Li Feng pointed ahead, where there was a blind spot for surveillance cameras.

Although the driver was puzzled, he obediently did as instructed.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the bread truck behind it screeched to a halt at the alley entrance.

The car door swung open with a bang, and three men jumped out, each carrying a short stick. They were the same men we had seen at the entrance of the club earlier.

"Boss Li, if you don't give Brother Qiang face, then don't blame us for being impolite!" The leader, wearing a black jacket, had a hoarse voice and charged over wielding a short stick.

Li Feng pushed open the car door and got out. The designated driver, terrified, shrank back in the driver's seat, his face pale: "Sir...should we call the police?"

"No need," Li Feng patted his shoulder. "Just sit still."

He walked towards the three of them with steady steps and no sign of panic in his eyes.

The short stick in the black jacket came crashing down with a whoosh. Li Feng dodged to the side, grabbed the man's wrist at the same time, and pulled him into his arms.

The man in the black jacket lost his balance and stumbled towards Li Feng, who elbowed him, causing him to cry out in pain as the short stick fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other two attacked from the left and right.

Li Feng remained calm and unhurried. He swept his left leg across and kicked the knee of the man on his left. He parried the stick shadow on his right with his right hand and pressed his fingertips against the elbow of the man. With a soft "crack" sound, the man screamed and clutched his elbow as he staggered back.

In less than half a minute, all three men were lying on the ground groaning, their short sticks scattered all over the ground.

Li Feng dusted off his hands, walked up to the man in the black jacket, and looked down at him.

"Go back and tell that so-called Brother Qiang you're talking about, if he wants to find me, he should come himself. Sending this kind of scumbag again will only make him look even more stupid."

The man in the black jacket was sweating profusely from the pain, but he didn't dare to argue and could only grit his teeth and nod.

Li Feng ignored them and was about to turn around and get back into the car when the sound of brakes came from beside him.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black Lexus 570 parked steadily at the entrance of the alley; the car was huge.

The car door clicked open, and a man in a black mink coat stepped out with a deliberately forced smile on his face.

As he walked this way, he clapped slowly and loudly.

"Brother Li Feng, I've long admired your name. I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

Li Feng stopped in his tracks, his eyes instantly turning wary as he sized up the newcomer.

This man looked amiable, but his eyes held a shrewdness, and he exuded an aura of someone who had long held a high position, far surpassing those lowly henchmen from before.

He spoke in a deep voice, "You're Brother Qiang?"

"Young man, you're quite straightforward." The man called Brother Qiang stopped and stood a few steps away from Li Feng.

"My name is Cui Shiqiang. I make a living in Qingjiang County. People give me some face and call me Brother Qiang. But Brother Li Feng, you've only just taken over the Peak Club and you've already caused such a stir. Even Jinlong has fallen into your hands. You're really young and promising."

Li Feng didn't respond to him, his gaze falling on Cui Shiqiang.

"Brother Qiang came in person, surely not just to praise me for being young and promising?"

Cui Shiqiang smiled and gestured to the three men lying on the ground.

"Please excuse these people, young man. They are ignorant and offended you. I will definitely teach them a lesson later."

Cui Shiqiang clapped his hands, and two more burly men got out of another Lexus. They dragged the three groaning men away from the ground with expressionless faces, their movements as swift as if they were dealing with garbage.

"Young man, please don't take offense," Cui Shiqiang took two steps closer, his mink coat sweeping across the ground and creating a gust of wind.

"The subordinates are unruly and should be punished."

He changed the subject, the smile in his eyes fading slightly, "But speaking of which, young man, you're already so tough as soon as you arrive in Qingjiang County, it reminds me of myself when I was young."

Li Feng didn't reply, he just looked at him.

Cui Shiqiang was more composed than expected. Although he came to confront Jin Long, he first put on an attitude of "not taking it to heart," which was obviously much more skillful than Jin Long's tricks.

Seeing that Li Feng remained silent, Cui Shiqiang wasn't embarrassed. He chuckled to himself, his tone slightly probing.

"The location of the Peak Club is excellent, and business is booming. Young man, you have a keen eye for business." However, Qingjiang County is a murky place, and there are certain rules you need to know.

Li Feng raised an eyebrow and finally spoke: "Brother Qiang, are you saying I don't know the rules?"

"That's not what I meant." Cui Shiqiang waved his hand, his fingertips fiddling with the buttons on his mink coat.

"I'm just worried that you're young and impetuous, and might accidentally step on a landmine. Look at Jinlong, he tripped up because he was too hasty."

His words implied that Jinlong's matter was related to him, while also conveying a sense of threat.
