Chapter 338 - 336: Lin Kaifeng Steps In
At this moment, suddenly someone rushed out from the side, and with a swoosh, stood in front of Chen Tianlong. He stomped hard on the ground, his foot sinking into the snow, and the next second, he kicked out fiercely.
Instantly, a clump of snow mixed with dirt hurled towards the approaching people.
The subordinates in front, startled by the sudden appearance of a stranger, abruptly stopped, while the people behind, not realizing what happened, almost ran into them, hurriedly halting their steps.
"Damn, you’re a freaking idiot! We’re chopping people here, can’t you see?"
The person leading the charge was furious. Finally rallying their spirit, ready to take down Chen Tianlong in one breath, they didn’t expect an idiot to show up out of nowhere; it was infuriating.
"Slap!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he found that a slap landed on his face, and he didn’t even know when his knife was snatched away by the other person.
"You..."
"Hiss~"
A crisp sound of a knife slicing through a body rang out, stunning everyone present. The knife was thrust neither hard nor soft, directly into the man’s stomach, causing blood to gush out immediately.
"Ouch, oh mother, it hurts!"
The man clutched his stomach, wailing and groaning on the ground, leaving his companions dumbstruck.
Moments later, everyone finally reacted.
"What the hell, kill that bastard, how dare he stab our brother!"
The person at the front suddenly came to his senses and shouted.
"Everyone... stop!"
Just at this critical moment, Fang Xiaoli rushed over, shouting loudly.
This person, though others might not recognize, he certainly did—wasn’t it Lin Kaifeng, the young master of East City?
Damn!
If they offended him, it would be over. After all, he ranks fifth among the masters of East City. Usually, he just goes around playing because people in high places are too lonely and can’t find opponents.
"Boss, he..."
"Everyone ****** shut up, do you know who this person is? He’s Young Master Lin Kaifeng from East City. Everyone back off!"
Fang Xiaoli was anxious with lingering fear. Lin Kaifeng was ruthless, and when he makes a move, a lot of people would die. Although the Lin Family ranks third among the three cities, their strength is formidable. They simply don’t want to compete.
The Lin Family in East City has their own army, guns, and ammunition—they are known as the tyrants of Ice City. However, with the three cities standing equally and the Ice Hall full of ancient martial masters, they dare not act rashly.
If his brother Fang Dali were here, he could barely fight Lin Kaifeng. Now, making a move would clearly be suicidal.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoli’s subordinates slowly retreated, no longer daring to move forward. Chen Tianlong also lowered his guard.
"Young Master Fang, right? Give me some face. These are my friends. If they offended you somehow, I will visit to apologize another day," Lin Kaifeng said with a slight smile to Fang Xiaoli.
"Ah? Young Master Lin, are you saying... these people are your friends?" Fang Xiaoli was surprised. He never expected these outsiders to be friends of the Lin Family.
"Yes, that’s correct."
Lin Kaifeng didn’t even know Chen Tianlong’s name but had been helped by him during rock climbing. Lin Kaifeng valued loyalty, and he vowed to return this kindness.
"Hehe, if they are truly friends of Young Master Lin, then it seems like the emperor’s temple has been washed by flooding—it’s all between ourselves, no need to apologize."
Fang Xiaoli was filled with resentment. He had to give face; otherwise, the consequences would be severe, but clearly, his brothers were gravely injured, making him rather vexed.
"How about this, I’ll cover all the medical expenses for your brothers. Get them to the hospital quickly, or they might die if delayed."
Lin Kaifeng said nonchalantly. To him, it was normal for people to get injured or killed now and then.
There’s no law in Ice City; it’s a borderland where death means nothing, and no one cares.
Moreover, the world has one almighty thing, which is money.
The Lin Family not only had money but also immense power—this was absolute authority.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin. Brothers, let’s go!"
Fang Xiaoli dared not delay further, promptly leaving with his mates. If they angered Young Master Lin and offended the Lin Family, it would be a huge trouble.
This time, he skipped school to fight, and his father obviously didn’t know. The subordinates were also borrowed secretly through the butler, without his father’s consent at all.
If they clashed with East City because of a few outsiders, it would be totally not worth it.
After everyone left, Wu Mengting quickly came over, expressing great concern for Chen Tianlong, while Lin Kaifeng couldn’t help coughing a couple of times: "Cough cough... well, brother, see you later. I’m leaving now!"
"Wait, my friend, may I ask, are you from East City?" Chen Tianlong had heard from Bing Ruxue that East City, North City, and the Ice Hall were in a state of triumvirate rivalry, with none aiding the other.
"Hmm? You know people from East City?" Lin Kaifeng thought Chen Tianlong was very familiar with people from East City based on his question.
"Haha, no, but thanks for helping earlier!"
Chen Tianlong found this person quite decent, unlike his behavior during the rock climbing earlier. He couldn’t tell if he had been pretending then or if he was acting now, finding it hard to differentiate.
"No need to thank me. If there’s a chance to visit East City, you’ll be well entertained." Lin Kaifeng found Chen Tianlong’s straightforward personality likable.
After all, everyone he’d met who knew about East City yearned to cozy up to them, yet Chen Tianlong remained nonchalant, seemingly uninterested in such things. He liked making friends with such people.
"Sure, but... it’s not possible this time. We need to head home." Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly.
"Oh? Going home? Where’s your home!" Lin Kaifeng had already figured out Chen Tianlong wasn’t a local, but he asked deliberately.
"South Sea City. If you come by, remember to visit me at South Sea No.1 Middle School, thanks." Chen Tianlong didn’t chat much as this place was full of trouble, and they’d stirred up enough. If they didn’t leave soon, more could arise.
Lin Kaifeng didn’t know what path Chen Tianlong and the others were on; he was a young master who loved freedom, not eager to mind others’ business.
This time helping Chen Tianlong was also to repay a favor received from him.
Chen Tianlong, accompanied by three stunning women, walked out of the Ice Sculpture Garden. Despite some minor accidents, all in all, it was a complete success.
With Mengting’s illness cured and their tour of the garden completed, it was time to head back.
Ten minutes later, a black Audi appeared on the highway from Ice City to Ouyang Town.
Chen Tianlong had to send Ouyang Meijia back home safely, after all, she came to help him, and now that the matter was over, it was only right to send her back home.
But just as their car left the city, they were eyed by a red Ferrari, with four people inside, including He Xiaobao and his three subordinates.
Two of them, following Fang Xiaoli’s instructions, were tasked with tracking Chen Tianlong and his company. Although rescued by Lin Kaifeng in Ice City, outside of Ice City, it’s not that simple.
