Chapter 6

"Ha ha, I wondered who it was, turns out it's the new guy. What? Planning to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?" Cheng Fei said coldly.

"But I'm afraid you don't have what it takes!"

As Cheng Fei finished speaking, the few men standing beside him all stood up, looking at Lan Feng, who had walked up to Cheng Fei, with a playful expression.

"Lan Feng, don't worry about me, I'm fine. They're just a bunch of scoundrels, we can't afford to provoke them..." Seeing Lan Feng, Cheng Xiaohan quickly said.

Lan Feng looked at Cheng Fei and the others coldly, saying nothing. In the notebook Cheng Xiaohan had shown him, these few men were rated very poorly, having bullied her multiple times and even extorted money from her as they had just done.

If Lan Feng hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, but now that he had, and given how Cheng Xiaohan had taken care of him, he felt he had to help her.

"What? Scared?" Seeing Lan Feng's silence, Cheng Fei became even more smug. "Kid, I'll count to three. If you don't go back to your seat, you'll be leaving on your first day of work in a stretcher."

"No need to count, I'll make you leave in a stretcher right now."

Lan Feng raised his right hand and, in the stunned gaze of everyone, slapped Cheng Fei's face directly.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the office, and Cheng Fei stumbled backward, crashing into a desk.

Lan Feng then pulled Cheng Xiaohan behind him: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Lan Feng, you should run, there are too many of them, you can't win." Cheng Xiaohan said with concern.

Hearing this, Lan Feng shook his head lightly and smiled: "How could I bear to see such a kind and lovely girl be bullied? Besides, you've helped me so much today, it's only right that I help you once."

"But you..."

Cheng Xiaohan wanted to say more but was interrupted by Lan Feng: "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Kid, you actually dared to hit me? Looking for death!" Cheng Fei touched his burning face and said with a grimace. "Brothers, take him out."

As he finished speaking, the five men with him clenched their fists and charged at Lan Feng: "Die, you brat."

Facing the attack from five men, Lan Feng remained calm. Since he had cultivated the Four Gods and Twelve Blades, he had forgotten how long it had been since he last fought. He didn't expect to have an appetizer right after returning to China.

But this appetizer was a bit too small.

In the next moment, as the five men's fists were about to hit him, Lan Feng moved.

He leaned back, dodging the punches, then shifted his center of gravity, raised his right leg like a whip, and swept it forward.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Lan Feng's right leg lashed out like a whip, hitting three men who couldn't retract their fists in time.

The terrifying force erupted, sending them flying and crashing into the desks on either side, spitting blood.

The other two men, enraged, clenched their fists and charged at Lan Feng again.

"Crack..."

Facing their punches, Lan Feng didn't dodge but instead easily caught their fists with his palms. With a sudden force, he broke their wrists.

"Ah..."

Piercing screams erupted from the two men.

"Bang!"

Lan Feng took a step forward and lightly punched their chests.

Then, in the shocked and terrified gazes of everyone, the two men clutched their chests and slowly fell to the ground.

"Die!"

At this moment, Cheng Fei, who had been slapped by Lan Feng, swung a chair and smashed it at Lan Feng.

"Be careful!" Cheng Xiaohan, tense, shouted at Lan Feng.

Facing the chair swung by Cheng Fei, Lan Feng just smiled faintly, showing no intention to dodge, letting the chair hit him.

"Bang!"

In the shocked and terrified gazes of everyone, Cheng Fei's chair smashed into Lan Feng's body.

"Crack..."

Instantly, the chair shattered.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Cheng Fei threw the broken chair aside, hands on his knees, panting heavily. He had used all his strength: "That should have taken him down. Daring to fight me, he's asking for death."

"Is that so?"

A calm voice sounded, and Cheng Fei looked up to see Lan Feng, unscathed, walking toward him.

"How is this possible? Is he made of iron?"

Cheng Fei's body trembled, his face filled with fear.

In his terrified gaze, Lan Feng grabbed his neck and lifted him up with one hand. The moment Lan Feng's hand grabbed Cheng Fei's neck, Cheng Fei lost all strength to struggle, as if all his energy had been drained.

"Anyone who dares to bully Cheng Xiaohan will end up like this!"

Lan Feng's cold gaze swept over everyone, and his indifferent voice sent a chill through them.

As he finished speaking, Lan Feng took Cheng Xiaohan's money bag from Cheng Fei's bag, then with a sudden force, slammed Cheng Fei to the ground.

"Crack..."

Cheng Fei's body hit the ground hard, his chin smashing into the hard floor.

"Spit..."

Bright red blood spurted from his mouth, his face pale, his eyes filled with fear and shock.

"Grunt..."

Seeing this, everyone was filled with shock and fear. Was this new guy even human?

"Lan Feng, are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?" Cheng Xiaohan ran to Lan Feng, looking at his arm that had been hit by the chair, concerned.

"I'm fine, see, not a scratch!" To prevent this kind-hearted girl from worrying, Lan Feng rolled up his sleeve, revealing his muscular arm.

"Really, no problem..." Looking at Lan Feng's arm, Cheng Xiaohan was amazed, her face turning red as if she had thought of something.

Hearing Cheng Xiaohan and Lan Feng's conversation, and seeing Lan Feng's arm, everyone was deeply shaken, categorizing Lan Feng as someone they absolutely could not provoke.

The chair had shattered on his body, yet he was completely unharmed, not human at all.

"What's going on, so noisy?"

At this moment, the door to the team leader's office opened, and Wen Xiang, looking tired, walked out.

Seeing the messy office and Cheng Fei and the others lying on the ground, he was shocked.

Then an angry voice came from Wen Xiang: "Who can tell me what happened? Who the hell did this?"

No one dared to speak.

"Tea... Team Leader, it... it was the new guy." Cheng Fei struggled to get up, glaring at Lan Feng, wiping the blood from his mouth, and slowly said, "Please, Team Leader, do something for us!"

"Lan Feng did it?" Wen Xiang was surprised. "He took on six of you?"

Cheng Fei nodded with a bitter smile, his voice filled with resentment: "Yes, Team Leader, he's very strong... Cheng Xiaohan broke my cup, and I asked her to pay for it. This guy interfered, playing the hero, and beat us up!"

"What?" Hearing Cheng Fei's words, Wen Xiang was furious. Cheng Fei was his confidant, and he had ordered him to target Cheng Xiaohan to make her comply with his demands. He never expected Lan Feng to interfere.

"Did you beat them?" Wen Xiang walked up to Lan Feng and asked coldly.

"Yes!" Lan Feng nodded with a smile, completely unfazed by Wen Xiang's murderous gaze.

"Your guts are really big, daring to hit my people?" Wen Xiang was furious, raising his hand to slap Lan Feng's face.

"Slap..."

The crisp sound of the slap echoed. Just as Lan Feng was about to react, Cheng Xiaohan mustered the courage to step in front of him, and Wen Xiang's hand slapped her delicate face.

Cheng Xiaohan's delicate face quickly turned red and swollen, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Cheng Xiaohan, are you okay? Cheng Xiaohan?"

The sudden turn of events shocked Lan Feng. He never expected Cheng Xiaohan to step in and take the slap for him.

"I'm fine..." Cheng Xiaohan touched her burning face and smiled.

"Why are you so foolish? You knew I could dodge, why did you..."

Before Lan Feng could finish, Cheng Xiaohan covered his mouth with her hand, her face showing a forced smile: "I'm fine. Although you're very strong, you can't hit him. He's our team leader, and the HR manager is his uncle. If you hit him, you'll be fired... We can't afford to provoke him. I remember clearly in my notebook, it seems you didn't read it carefully."

At the end, Cheng Xiaohan gave Lan Feng a playful smile, then turned to Wen Xiang and pleaded: "Team Leader Wen, hit me. This isn't Lan Feng's fault, it's all my fault. I caused it, it's all my fault. Please don't punish him..."

"You bitch, daring to protect him?" Seeing Cheng Xiaohan not only take a slap for Lan Feng but also speak up for him, Wen Xiang was enraged.

In Wen Xiang's mind, he had long considered Cheng Xiaohan his private property. Although she had never agreed, he believed she would eventually give in under his pressure. He never expected the usually timid Cheng Xiaohan to stand up for Lan Feng at this moment. In his anger, Wen Xiang raised his hand and slapped her again.

"As long as Manager Wen doesn't blame Lan Feng, I'm willing to take any beating from you." Facing Wen Xiang's raised hand, Cheng Xiaohan's face showed a faint smile, and she closed her eyes slowly.

"Sigh, this silly girl is too kind and naive. Does she really think that by taking a beating for me, Wen Xiang will let me off?"

Looking at the closed eyes of Cheng Xiaohan, Lan Feng sighed. Just as Wen Xiang's hand was about to hit her delicate face, Lan Feng's right hand shot out like lightning and caught Wen Xiang's hand.
