Chapter 53: The Fierce General Returns to the Heart

After Wang Meng broke two of Li Wujie's ribs with a single palm strike, he stopped. He had only used seven-tenths of his strength; otherwise, Li Wujie's chest would have caved in like the body of a Japanese car.

The reason he held back was twofold: first, the Li brothers were distracted by Xia Qianhe, making Wang Meng's victory somewhat unfair; second, the Li brothers' "Dual Sword Union" was truly formidable, and Wang Meng did not want to cripple it. After all, there was no deep-seated hatred between them; they were just serving different masters.

After catching his breath, Wang Meng looked over at Lin Feng. At this moment, Li Wuji, enduring the intense pain, had already rushed to Lin Feng's back. Seeing the man who was sitting on his boss and beating him, causing his brother to be severely injured by Wang Meng, Li Wuji was filled with rage and struck Lin Feng's forehead with a palm.

Although Li Wuji did not have the same powerful iron palm as Wang Meng, if his palm had landed, Lin Feng would have either died or suffered a concussion, and there was a possibility he could have become a vegetable.

Wang Meng was greatly alarmed. While secretly hating Li Wuji's ruthless attack, he quickly shouted, "Duck!"

Lin Feng, who was beating the arrogant and overbearing young master, instinctively lowered his head upon hearing Wang Meng's shout. He felt a fierce wind pass over the back of his head, and his scalp tingled, realizing someone was attacking from behind. He silently thanked Wang Meng for the warning; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured.

This was due to Wang Meng's experience. If someone else had seen this situation, they would have shouted "Be careful!" which would have made Lin Feng turn around and fail to dodge Li Wuji's vengeful palm.

So when you see someone in danger, never shout "Be careful!" This is not helping but harming them. The best way to help is to directly tell them how to avoid the danger.

Li Wuji did not expect his vengeful palm to be dodged, but his professionally trained body only paused slightly. He stepped forward with his left foot and swept his right leg at Lin Feng.

By this time, Lin Feng had already reacted and sidestepped, protecting his chest with his hands.

With a dull thud, Lin Feng felt his arms as if hit by a truck, instantly losing sensation. He flew through the air like a punching bag hit by a heavyweight boxer.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng looked at Li Wuji in terror, unable to believe the power of a single leg.

"Master Xia!" Li Wuji, no longer concerned with Lin Feng, quickly checked Xia Qianhe's injuries. Upon examination, he was relieved to find that although Xia Qianhe's face was dirty and his body was covered in blood, it was only superficial injuries, and he was not seriously hurt.

"Brother, are you okay?" Wang Meng also came to Lin Feng's side, checked him briefly, and confirmed that his arms were not broken. He then helped Lin Feng up from the ground.

After carefully placing Xia Qianhe in the Mercedes S600, Li Wuji glared at Wang Meng and Lin Feng. He was very worried about Li Wujie's injuries but also feared that Wang Meng and Lin Feng would take the opportunity to attack Xia Qianhe. He had no choice but to stand guard in front of the car, feeling anxious and conflicted.

Wang Meng, seeing Li Wuji's expression, knew he was worried about Li Wujie's injuries. He sighed inwardly and said, "Don't worry, your brother just has two broken ribs. He'll be fine with a month of rest."

Li Wuji was greatly relieved. However, he soon became worried about the current stalemate. Now that the "Dual Sword Union" was down to one person, he was no match for Wang Meng. Even if he tried to call for help, Wang Meng would not let him. But Master Xia could not be harmed again, or his brother's reputation would be ruined, and Xia Qianhe's father would not let them off.

After a moment's thought, Li Wuji asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, how do you propose to resolve this?"

The situation was dire, and Li Wuji had no choice but to lower his head.

"It depends on how my brother wants to resolve it," Wang Meng replied, leaving the decision to Lin Feng. However, he showed his palms, ready to fight if necessary.

Li Wuji frowned, knowing that after Xia Qianhe's humiliation of Lin Feng, a peaceful resolution was unlikely.

Well, do your best and leave the rest to fate! — Li Wuji had made up his mind.

"Brother, I know my master's words and actions have offended you, and I have wronged you. But... you have already taken your revenge. Can we end this here?" Li Wuji carefully chose his words and said cautiously.

Lin Feng was taken aback. At this point, he did not know how to resolve the situation. He had been angry and even thought of killing Xia Qianhe. But after the beating, his anger had subsided, and he no longer hated Xia Qianhe as much. Moreover, Xia Qianhe was more injured than he was, so there was no point in pursuing the matter further.

However, what made Lin Feng hesitate was that Xia Qianhe was clearly a high-ranking official's son. Beating him would bring endless trouble. Of course, he was not afraid, but he would avoid Beijing for now. A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake, and he did not believe Xia Qianhe would chase him to Chu City. His only concern was whether this incident would affect Liu Yingying and Huang Shuqi.

"Tell your master that the person who beat him is me, Lin Feng, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If he wants to cause trouble, he can come for me, Lin Feng," Lin Feng took full responsibility.

Li Wuji nodded inwardly. Although they had been enemies, he admired Lin Feng's courage and willingness to take responsibility, especially knowing Xia Qianhe's background. If they had not just fought, he would have invited Lin Feng and Wang Meng for a drink. After all, he was just protecting Xia Qianhe for money, not out of loyalty.

Lin Feng's actions also impressed Wang Meng. He was well-informed and knew that Xia Qianhe was not an ordinary person, but he was not afraid. As a lone wolf, he had once played cat and mouse with over a hundred riot police in the mountains, so he was not afraid of Xia Qianhe. If provoked, he could sneak into Xia Qianhe's residence and cripple him.

The name "Iron Palm Violent Dragon" was not given lightly.

The situation ended in a temporary truce.

"Brother, I advise you to leave Beijing as soon as possible. Xia Qianhe has a complex network in Beijing, and if he wants to cause you trouble, you won't be able to resist," Wang Meng warned.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your help earlier," Lin Feng thanked Wang Meng for his assistance and then looked at him, "Brother Wang, where are you planning to go?"

"Ha ha, I'm just wandering around, looking for a job that suits my skills and offers good pay. Of course, I won't do anything illegal," Wang Meng said nonchalantly.

Lin Feng's heart stirred.

"Brother Wang, why don't you come back to Chu City with me? My company needs a security manager. As for the pay, just name it, and I'll meet your demands. Besides, I can also learn some self-defense techniques from you," Lin Feng invited him warmly. After today's incident, he decided to learn self-defense from Wang Meng.

"Chu City? Your company?" Wang Meng looked at Lin Feng in surprise, "Brother, you're only 21 at most, and you already have a company? Impressive!"

"Ha ha, I just started, so I hope Brother Wang can join and help me out," Lin Feng pressed his advantage.

Wang Meng hesitated for a moment. However, Lin Feng had left a very good impression on him. He was brave, could endure what others could not, and took responsibility, which Wang Meng admired.

"Alright, Brother, I'll take a look. If it's good, I'll stay and work for you. But don't be scared when I make a big demand!" Wang Meng laughed.
