Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"You Dalin, please respect Hongmei, okay?"

"She's not a slut, she's your wife. We're innocent. We truly loved each other before, but that's all in the past."

"If I hadn't been in the army, would Hongmei have married you?"

"You got her, but instead of cherishing her, you abused her. She's your wife, she bore your children, and she earns money to support the family. How could you do that to her?"

"Are you even a man if you commit domestic violence against a woman?"

Ma Feng roared angrily.

His fists were already bulging with veins; if it weren't for his military status prohibiting him from hitting people, he probably would have already rushed up and knocked You Dalin to the ground...

Yu Dalin pointed at Ma Feng with a wooden stick and sneered arrogantly, "Ma Feng, since you know that You Hongmei is my wife, you still came to my house to have an affair with her."

"Pah, what a pair of scoundrels."

At this moment, You Hongmei got up from the ground and cried, "We didn't have an affair, You Dalin, don't make false accusations."

"Ma Feng, you'd better run! He's a mad dog; he'll bite anyone he sees."

"Slap slap."

You Dalin slapped You Hongmei twice hard across her already haggard face...

"Ouch!"

You Hongmei screamed and fell to the ground, her cheeks swelling up at a visible speed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth…

Seeing this, Ma Feng dodged forward, grabbing You Dalin's collar with lightning speed and snatching the wooden stick from You Dalin's hand, throwing it to the ground. He then raised his massive fist and brought it down on You Dalin's head. If this punch had landed on You Dalin's head, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed...

Strangely, Yu Dalin not only didn't dodge, but instead curled his lips into a cold smile, his eyes filled with an inexplicable excitement...

"Ma Feng, stop!"

A loud shout rang out like a bolt from the blue.

Ma Feng's body jolted violently, and his fist, which was about to smash into You Dalin, stopped abruptly in mid-air, less than five centimeters away from You Dalin's head.

The force of the punch whipped up You Dalin's long, dyed yellow hair...

Xiao Zhan walked over with a cold expression and shouted again, "Ma Feng, let him go."

Ma Feng was used to receiving orders, and the principle of obeying orders was ingrained in his very being.

Besides, Xiao Zhan was his older brother Ma Chong's captain, and they had a life-or-death bond. He would obey Xiao Zhan's words unconditionally.

"Clang!"

Ma Feng threw You Dalin heavily to the ground...

"Ouch."

Yu Dalin was completely disoriented from the fall; his body, already weakened by wine and women, couldn't withstand such a heavy blow.

You Dalin immediately burst into a tirade: "Ma Feng, you son of a bitch! You dare hit me? Help! Everyone, look! Soldiers are beating people!"

Upon hearing You Dalin's shout, Ma Feng immediately realized what was happening and thought to himself, "Damn, I almost fell for You Dalin's trick. If I had thrown that punch just now, I would have been charged with assault by a soldier."

Ma Feng: "You Dalin, I didn't hit you, I was stopping you from committing domestic violence."

You Dalin: "Which eye of yours saw me commit domestic violence?"

"You bitch, tell me, did I abuse you?"

You Hongmei lay on the ground without speaking or looking at Ma Feng, only lowering her head and sobbing softly…

At this moment, Xiao Zhan said, "Whether your family is abusive or not is none of our business. Ma Feng said he was classmates with You Hongmei and wanted to support her business, so we came to stay at the hotel."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't stay at this hotel."

Ma Feng looked at Xiao Zhan gratefully, and was about to speak when Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice, "Go to the car."

Ma Feng's body stiffened: "Yes."

Then he glanced at You Hongmei, who was still lying on the ground, and wanted to go over and help her up, but Xiao Zhan stopped him with a look.

Although Ma Feng didn't know why Xiao Zhan wouldn't let him go and help You Hongmei up, he knew that Xiao Zhan was like an older brother to him and worthy of his trust.

So, his eyes were filled with reluctance and worry as he looked at You Hongmei, but he still turned and walked towards the Maybach not far away.

You Dalin then got up from the ground, picked up a wooden stick, pointed it at Ma Feng, and cursed: "You son of a bitch Ma Feng, you think you can just run away after hitting me? No way! Ma Feng, if you're a man, don't run away! You're a soldier, how come you've become a coward? You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it!"

"I'm not done with you yet."

"Clatter."

Xiao Zhan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and blew a cloud of smoke into You Dalin's face...

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Dalin, who was speaking, choked and coughed repeatedly, and angrily yelled at Xiao Zhan, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Xiao Zhan: "I did it on purpose, what are you going to do about it?"

You Dalin was stunned.

He didn't expect Xiao Zhan to admit so readily that it was intentional.

"Who the hell are you? This is my house. You've trespassed! Get the hell out of here right now, or I'll call the police!"

Xiao Zhan glanced at You Hongmei, then said to You Dalin, "You'd better not swear at me. I won't tolerate this. This is your home, that's true, but we're staying at a hotel, so it's not considered trespassing. Do you understand the law?"

You Dalin raised the wooden stick and smashed it at Xiao Zhan...

Xiao Zhan snatched the wooden stick from him and exerted force with both hands.

"Click."

The thick wooden stick snapped into several pieces instantly.

Seeing how powerful Xiao Zhan was, You Dalin was frightened and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

But he still kept cursing, saying, "You motherfucker, you dare to act tough in my house..."

"Slap slap."

Before You Dalin could finish his rant, Xiao Zhan slapped him twice, forcing him to shut up. He stood there, covering his face, staring at Xiao Zhan, too afraid to speak.

Xiao Zhan coldly replied, "If you dare to utter another curse, I'll break all 206 bones in your body."

Yu Dalin trembled with fright.

He could tell that Xiao Zhan wasn't exaggerating.

Xiao Zhan ignored You Dalin, turned around, walked to the Maybach, stopped, glanced back at You Hongmei, then got into the car and said to Shen Jun, "Drive."

Shen Jun: "Yes."

Immediately stepped on the gas...

"boom."

The Maybach drove out of the backyard of the Red Plum Hotel...

inside the car,

Xiao Zhan looked at Ma Feng and said, "Brother, remember this: no matter how much you fall for a woman, don't ruin yourself for her."

Ma Feng blushed and said, "Brother Xiao, Hongmei is so pitiful. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have married You Dalin and would be living such an unhappy life."

Xiao Zhan took a drag of his cigarette and continued, "How do you know she's unhappy?"

Ma Feng was stunned when he heard that...

What does Brother Xiao mean by this?

Didn't he see everything that just happened?

Xiao Zhan continued, "Do you know how many men have fallen in love? In the end, they lose everything, including their money and their future, and still can't figure out where they went wrong."

Ma Feng was taken aback when he heard Xiao Zhan say that, and then said, "Hongmei is not that kind of woman."

Xiao Zhan did not answer Ma Feng, but continued, "All men who are sentimental and soft-hearted, especially when faced with a woman who is divorced, in debt, has a messy family background, and is emotionally unstable, must adhere to three bottom lines no matter how much they love her. Crossing even one of them is tantamount to destroying one's own life."

Ma Feng opened his mouth, wanting to defend You Hongmei...

But in the end, he didn't utter a single word.
