Chapter 212: Blocking The Entrance Of The Restroom

"Boss Ma, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take action, break one of his legs," Du Hongfei urged.

The smile on Boss Ma's face had frozen in place. He recognized Li Xiaofei.

He had been at the gang negotiation meeting. He had witnessed with his own eyes how Li Xiaofei had effortlessly eliminated three powerful fighters with a mere flick of his fingers. Then he had seen Li Xiaofei kill Little Martial God Ye Liushuang.

Li Xiaofei was strong, and his killing intent was intense. He was bold enough to kill even a core disciple of the Ye family. How could he afford to provoke someone as ruthless as this demon?

"Li... President Li, I didn't know you were here," Boss Ma said, forcing a smile that looked more painful than crying. He bent over, trying to appear obsequious.

Du Hongfei was stunned.

What’s going on? The Wild Wolf Gang is the most powerful gang in this area, and Boss Ma, a master of the Acupoint Opening Realm, usually runs rampant without fear. Even the police find him a headache to deal with. So why is he now bowing to this poor student?

Li Xiaofei looked at Boss Ma quizzically. "And who are you?"

"My name is Ma Fei. I’m from the Wild Wolf Gang," Boss Ma said, bowing as low as he could. "I have always regarded you as an idol. I was fortunate enough to be present during the gang negotiation when you displayed your invincible might."

"So, just a lackey," Li Xiaofei remarked indifferently. "Are you here to stand up for this Du fellow?"

"No, no, no," Boss Ma quickly denied, bowing even lower as he forced a smile. "It's all a misunderstanding; just a misunderstanding. I was merely passing by and came in out of curiosity."

"Your curiosity led you to break down my friend's door?" Li Xiaofei sneered as his fingers twitched. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Boss Ma nearly wet himself in fear. He vividly remembered how Li Xiaofei had used just a few fingers to kill several masters.

Boss Ma immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud, desperately pleading, "President Li, please spare me! I'm willing to compensate—ten thousand... ah, no, fifty thousand! I am willing to pay fifty thousand star coins to repair the door."

This scene left everyone else dumbfounded. After all, Boss Ma was the leader of a significant gang. How could he be so terrified of Li Xiaofei?

"Old Bai, are you willing to accept Boss Ma's compensation?" Li Xiaofei turned to look at Bai Longfei.

Bai Longfei was already shocked to his core, but as someone who liked to maintain a certain image, he managed to keep his composure. He calmly replied, "For your sake, Old Li, I won’t make a fuss this time. I’ll reluctantly accept this compensation."

"Thank you, thank you, President Li, and thank you, Student Bai," Boss Ma fervently said. He felt like he had just been granted a reprieve from death.

He quickly asked for the account details and transferred the fifty thousand star coins for the door repairs. He kept bowing and smiling apologetically as he turned around and fled with his men. The gang members outside the restaurant also cleared out in the blink of an eye.

Du Hongfei was stunned.

The expensive reinforcement I had hired.... this is all they amount to?

The group of friends around Du Hongfei also sensed that something was wrong as they started to inch backward.

"You..." Du Hongfei looked at Li Xiaofei and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Li Xiaofei couldn't be bothered to waste words and struck directly.

Smack.

A slap landed squarely on Du Hongfei's face. Caught off guard, his face was instantly disfigured, and he crashed heavily to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Li Xiaofei’s figure blurred.

Bang, bang, bang.

Before the dozen or so black-clad bodyguards could react, they were all sent flying out the door.

"Let's end this here today. I'm in a good mood, so I'll reluctantly forgive you," Li Xiaofei said as he walked over and stomped on Du Hongfei’s face. Then his tone turned steely. "But if you dare to harass my friend and his fiancée again, I'll twist off your head... Now, get lost!"

Du Hongfei was sent flying with a powerful kick as he crashed heavily outside the door.

"Ahh!" He convulsed, covered in dirt, as he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

His group of friends, now frightened out of their bravado, turned and fled. The bodyguards, lifting the bloodied Du Hongfei, quickly made a hasty and disgraceful exit.

"Madam, I..." Old Liang, kneeling on the ground, was as pale as a sheet.

Miao Youwei spoke calmly, "Someone, throw him out."

A few restaurant staff members immediately lifted the old dog and tossed him far outside the door. With his martial arts destroyed and the stain of betrayal upon him, his life was over. It was a fate worse than death.

The restaurant finally quieted down.

"Old Li, thank you so much this time," Bai Longfei breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Li Xiaofei with undisguised gratitude in his eyes. Having a powerful friend was truly a blessing. However, he knew he needed to become stronger himself. Otherwise, he could only rage helplessly when the woman he loved was bullied.

Li Xiaofei punched him playfully and said, "Just a thank you? You’re covering breakfast next week."

"Hey, it won’t be just breakfast, lunch and dinner are on my meal card too," Bai Longfei responded grandly.

Everyone laughed. Tan Qingying smiled warmly at the scene, feeling genuinely happy for Li Xiaofei. The group then returned to their private room.

"My apologies, everyone. My personal matters have disturbed your gathering," Miao Youwei said gracefully. "I’ll step outside to handle a few things, then I’ll order some special dishes for everyone."

Bai Longfei quickly stood up, "I’ll go with you."

Miao Youwei smiled gently, pressing his shoulder to make him sit back down. "I can handle it myself. You stay here and take care of Little Du Juan. Keep everyone company."

She turned and left. Her emotional intelligence was truly high. By doing so, she subtly gave Bai Longfei the opportunity to explain the situation to his friends without drawing attention to it.

"Old Bai, what exactly is going on here?" Fang Buyi asked.

Bai Longfei didn’t hold back and slowly began to explain. It turned out that Miao Youwei was the daughter-in-law of the eldest branch of the Du family, one of the five great families in the base city. The Du family was a large family, with four branches in total.

The head of the eldest branch, Du Zhantian, was the most powerful and influential among the four brothers. Unfortunately, despite Du Zhantian's legendary status, he had few offspring. He had only one son, Du Hongcheng.

Since Du Hongcheng was born prematurely, he was naturally weak and plagued by illness. He had married Miao Youwei, one of the top ten beauties in the base city, and half a year after she gave birth to their daughter, Du Juan, he fell seriously ill and passed away.

Miao Youwei had been personally chosen by Du Zhantian as his daughter-in-law. After his son’s death, Du Zhantian took great care of Miao Youwei, granting her almost anything she asked for.

Two years ago, Du Zhantian was gravely injured in a battle against a beast tide in the base city. He had passed away not long after returning home. On his deathbed, he had gone against the wishes of many and appointed his daughter-in-law, Miao Youwei, as the head of the eldest branch. He had bequeathed all his assets to her, along with a first class Kunlun Badge, elevating Miao Youwei and her daughter, Du Juan, to become the wealthiest women in the base city.

The richest woman in the city, and still young and beautiful. Such a prize had undoubtedly attracted the covetous eyes of many. Fortunately, the protection of the first class Kunlun Badge, along with the connections Du Zhantian had left behind, meant that ambitious individuals from various factions didn’t dare to seize her wealth openly.

However, over the past few years, countless men with ulterior motives had tried every possible means to get close to and pursue Miao Youwei under the guise of love. The one who had just barged in, Du Hongfei, was the son of Du Yuanyang, the head of the second branch of the Du family. He was one of the most aggressive suitors in the tide.

When Li Xiaofei and the others heard this, they were dumbfounded. They had assumed Miao Youwei was wealthy, but they hadn’t realized how wealthy she was.

"So, how exactly did you manage to win Sister Miao’s favor?" Ren Dong asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

"Hehehe, don’t ask. If you must know, it’s all about personal charm," Bai Longfei replied, beaming with pride.

"Yeah, right."

"Get him!"

Bai Longfei was promptly pinned to the ground by the others, who proceeded to give him a good-natured but relentless roughing up.

After the playful scuffle, Li Xiaofei stood up and said, "I’m going to the restroom."

As he stepped out of the private room, he noticed that the restaurant's front door had already been replaced with a new one. The traces of the earlier fight had completely vanished, and the restaurant was back to business as usual.

Having money really makes a difference.

Li Xiaofei thought with a sigh.

After relieving himself, he walked out of the restroom, feeling much lighter. Suddenly, someone blocked his path. It was none other than the young and beautiful female tycoon, Miao Youwei. She had been waiting for him.
