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

"My goodness..." Someone in the crowd gasped, dropping their cigarette with a "thud." "This is the real thing!"

The color drained from Li Zhengdao's face instantly, his mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and his previous arrogance deflated like a punctured balloon.

He stared intently at the Land Rover, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had never seen such a magnificent car in the village in his entire life.

The Land Rover came to a smooth stop next to the BMW X5. Li Chaoyang leaned out, grinned at Li Feng, and said, "Fengzi, this car is really powerful!"

Li Feng looked at Li Zhengdao, his gaze calm and unwavering: "I didn't want to make a fuss, after all, today is Li Bao's big day, he is the main character."

Li Zhengdao's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. His back, which had been straight just now, was now hunched over like a frostbitten eggplant, as if the bones had been removed from it.

The villagers around him had long since changed their curious gazes from watching the spectacle to undisguised contempt.

"It's the right path," an elder couldn't help but say. "Xiao Feng has always been honest and kind. He's truly capable and hasn't forgotten his roots. What are you trying to achieve by messing around like this?"

Li Zhengdao's face flushed red and then turned pale, his feet grinding cigarette butts on the ground, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He never imagined that Li Feng not only had a BMW, but also a more impressive Land Rover.

How could he possibly compare? All those sarcastic words from before now felt like slaps to his own face, burning with pain.

Li Zhengdao's eyes darted around, as if he had grasped at a lifeline. He stiffened his neck and started shouting again, "So what if Li Feng has a Land Rover? He still hides it, doesn't he? If I hadn't borrowed this BMW X5 to make him look good, would he have been willing to drive the Land Rover out? In the end, he's just stingy and can't stand seeing others have more of a glamorous life than him!"

Surprisingly, some people echoed this sentiment: "Hey, Zhengdao's words do make some sense. We've never seen Li Feng show this car before..."

Li Feng's brows furrowed instantly. He hadn't expected Li Zhengdao to be so shameless, his ability to distort the truth was truly masterful.

He took a step forward, staring at Li Zhengdao: "Li Zhengdao, since you say you borrowed this car, do you dare to show me the vehicle registration certificate?"

Li Zhengdao's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a calm expression and sneered, "What do you need the vehicle registration for? Do you really think this BMW X5 is yours? Do you think you're the only one in Qingjiang County who can afford a BMW X5? Let me tell you, this car belongs to my distant cousin. He kindly lent it to me, so why should I show you the registration?"

As he spoke, he took a half-step back, his mind a complete mess.

The surrounding villagers also figured it out. Those who had been agreeing with him earlier quietly shut their mouths and looked at Li Zhengdao with more suspicion in their eyes.

Li Feng didn't press him further, but just looked at him coldly, his eyes seeming to say, "Keep making things up."

This made Li Zhengdao even more uneasy, and he began to stammer as he spoke.

"Zhengdao, since you say it's your cousin's car, there's nothing wrong with showing us the vehicle registration, right?" someone shouted from the crowd, immediately drawing a chorus of agreement.

"Yeah! Let's take it out and have a look! Let Li Feng know that he's not the only one who can afford a BMW X5."

Li Zhengdao was speechless, his face turning as red as a hot iron. How could he know where the driver's license was?

"Why are you so quiet?" someone pressed. "Could it be that you're really just bragging?"

Cold sweat beaded on Li Zhengdao's forehead, and he stammered, "I... my cousin didn't give it to me... he said he was afraid I'd lose it..."

"Didn't you get it?" Li Feng suddenly asked. "Open the armrest box and take a look."

"It's my cousin's car, how could I dare to rummage through his things..."

"What's wrong with opening it and taking a look?" Li Feng's voice was not loud. "Maybe your cousin already put the driver's license in there, just in case you need it urgently."

The villagers chimed in, "Yes, yes, open it and see!"

"Could it be that you're hiding it and too afraid to take it?"

Forced into a corner, Li Zhengdao reached out with trembling hands to pull the armrest box.

My finger just touched the switch, then I pulled it back abruptly, as if I'd been burned.

He knew that once this was revealed, all the lies would burst like punctured balloons, leaving not a trace of dignity.

"Open it now!" someone urged impatiently.

Li Zhengdao gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled open the armrest box. Sure enough, a driver's license appeared at the bottom of the armrest box.

Li Zhengdao picked it up and flipped through it, his expression immediately changing.

The words "Li Feng" were clearly printed on it, along with a photo of the vehicle.

The surrounding villagers, unaware of what had happened, held their breath upon seeing Li Zhengdao's distraught appearance.

Li Zhengdao remained frozen in his seat for a long while before slowly raising his head to look at Li Feng standing outside the car. All the arrogance and mockery in his eyes had vanished, replaced by panic and embarrassment.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word, as if someone had choked him.

Finally, he pushed open the car door abruptly, almost staggered out of the car, and walked out of the village without looking back.

His back was hunched over, and the proud and confident demeanor he had displayed just moments before was long gone, leaving only a flustered and disheveled appearance.

Sunlight fell on the empty driver's seat, and the driver's license lying on the floor mat was like a silent slap, hard hitting Li Zhengdao's face.

Li Zhengdao's sudden and unexpected actions left the villagers who were watching stunned. They looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

"Hey, what's wrong with Li Zhengdao? He left without saying a word?" someone couldn't help but call out, but the figure had already disappeared into the depths of the alley, without any response.

"Who knows? He was so tough just now, like a defeated rooster, but now he looks like he's met the King of Hell?" someone muttered nearby, their eyes full of doubt.

At this moment, someone noticed that the door of the BMW X5 was still open; Li Zhengdao had been in such a hurry to get out of the car that he had forgotten to close it.

The blue driver's license on the floor mat was particularly eye-catching; it was still partially open when it fell on the floor.

A daring villager leaned in, picked up the driver's license, and wanted to see what it was all about. But as soon as his eyes swept over the first page, his mouth opened wide and his expression instantly changed from curiosity to surprise. His eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"What's wrong? What does it say?" People around immediately crowded around, asking all sorts of questions.

The villager held up the vehicle registration certificate, his voice trembling slightly: "This...this car...is Li Feng's!"

"What?"

"Really?"

The crowd erupted in an uproar. The villagers, who had been skeptical just moments before, now all looked at Li Feng with expressions of sudden realization.

No wonder Li Zhengdao ran away with his head down earlier, and no wonder Li Feng was so calm from the beginning. It turns out that this car originally belonged to someone else!

Some people couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement: "This Li Zhengdao, borrowing someone else's car to show off, and then turning around to mock the car owner, what a slap in the face..."

Li Feng didn't reply, but simply nodded to the villager, signaling him to hand over the driver's license.

He took the notebook and put it in his pocket. He glanced at the villagers still gathered around and smiled, "Everyone, go away. Don't ruin Li Bao's good day."

The group then came to their senses, chuckled awkwardly, and walked towards Li Bao's courtyard, whispering about what had just happened. Their eyes, however, held a hint of admiration as they looked at Li Feng.

This young man is capable and patient; he has the makings of someone who can accomplish great things.
