Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 559: Get Out of Here Fast (Second Update)

"You want someone? Who do you want?" Leng Hui asked feigning surprise, though he was well aware that since Zeng Hongjun had stepped forward, it was most likely directed at Lin Feng. But until the last moment, Leng Hui wanted to retain some room for easing the situation.

"Exactly him, Lin Feng by Leng Mei’s side, the one who broke my grandson’s leg at Beishan Villa last night. There’s eyewitness testimony and physical evidence; he can’t deny it!" Zeng Hongjun didn’t hesitate for a second, directly pointing at Lin Feng next to Leng Mei and explaining last night’s events. Since Lin Feng had initiated the confrontation, he was in the wrong, and Zeng Hongjun didn’t believe that Leng Hui would continue to shield Lin Feng at this point.

"I did break Zeng Xiaolong’s leg, but he was asking for it. Last night at dinner, he brought Feng Qi to deliberately provoke a fight, and later they sent men to attack Leng Hao and us. This afternoon, he went too far, and that’s why I broke his leg. If given another chance, I would still break his leg; it’s that simple!"

When Lin Feng saw Zeng Hongjun pointing at him, he didn’t think twice before speaking up and explaining everything. It was all Zeng Xiaolong’s fault for repeatedly provoking him, so breaking his legs was already showing restraint on Lin Feng’s part.

"Mr. Zeng, if Zeng Xiaolong hadn’t gone too far, Lin Feng wouldn’t have done this." Leng Mei also added coldly from the side. Now that things had escalated to this point, she didn’t want to hold back her thoughts either. She had long wanted to teach Zeng Xiaolong a lesson herself, and now that Lin Feng had taken care of him and even exposed Zeng Xiaolong’s deeds online, she felt extremely satisfied just thinking about it!

"You... Leng Hui, I’m asking you one thing: are you handing Lin Feng over or not?" Zeng Hongjun was left fuming by Lin Feng’s outright confrontation, and, having no other choice, ended up desperately and forcefully demanding Lin Feng from Leng Hui. He didn’t need to know what his grandson had done to Lin Feng in the past few days; knowing Lin Feng had broken his grandson’s leg was enough. The first thing he would do once he got Lin Feng from Leng Hui was to break Lin Feng’s legs in revenge!

"No! Lin Feng is my chosen grandson-in-law. Whatever happens, I will bear it! And your grandson had it coming!" Leng Hui’s temper flared at Zeng Hongjun’s words. He firmly replied to Zeng Hongjun that Lin Feng had done nothing wrong and that he would have done the same in his shoes. So facing Zeng Hongjun’s unreasonable demand for Lin Feng, Leng Hui would never agree.

"Leng Hui, think about it, is it worth it for you to do this for a playboy like Lin Feng, someone whose affairs are now the talk of Capital City? He has a fiancée and is involved with several other women; keeping him will only bring shame upon the Leng Family. If you truly won’t hand Lin Feng over to me, then our two families, the Zeng and the Leng, will officially go to war. Your family may have a good name, but you’re no match for the Zeng Family now. Think carefully about the consequences!"

Zeng Hongjun had already turned beet-red from Leng Hui’s response. He was beyond caring about maintaining appearances; his only thought was to take Lin Feng and break his legs, even if it meant a full-fledged battle with the Leng Family. It was a perfect opportunity to settle both new grievances and old, and most importantly, the Leng Family’s influence was not what it once was, whereas the Zeng Family had rapidly expanded in recent years. If the two families did go to war now, the Leng Family would not be a match for the Zeng Family, which gave Zeng Hongjun such confidence.

Zeng Hongjun believed that as long as Leng Hui had a bit of sense, he would hand over Lin Feng because the Leng Family’s current power couldn’t ensure Lin Feng’s safety. If the two families were to engage in all-out war, the Leng Family would quickly lose everything they currently had. Zeng Hongjun was sure Leng Hui understood these stakes and wouldn’t make such a foolish choice.

"Get lost! What are you Zeng Family fools so proud of? You’ve reached this point through marriage alliances; in my eyes, you’re nothing. Lin Feng is my personally selected grandson-in-law. It’s none of your business what kind of person he is; I will never hand him over to you. Whatever you want to do, bring it on. If it really comes down to a fight, so be it!" Leng Hui exploded in anger when Zeng Hongjun dared to threaten him with a declaration of war if he did not surrender Lin Feng, lashing out at Zeng Hongjun furiously.

Leng Hui was unafraid; indeed, a declared war with the Zeng Family would heavily damage his own family, but the Zeng Family would suffer just as much! Thus, Zeng Hongjun’s so-called threats were just bluffs. Even if Zeng Hongjun truly intended to declare war on the Leng Family, Leng Hui wasn’t the least bit afraid. A family that had risen through marriage alliances might look impressive, but how strong could they really be? If it came to total mutual destruction, he thought it was worth it as long as Lin Feng’s and Leng Mei’s relationship was secure. Everything else—no matter how great the price—was worth it.

Moreover, this opportunity perfectly conveyed a message to all the families in Capital City: Lin Feng was the grandson-in-law chosen by Leng Hui, and this decision was unchangeable. Should anyone dare to harm Lin Feng, Leng Hui would go to any lengths, even if it meant exhausting all of the Leng Family’s resources, to ensure Lin Feng’s safety.

"Zeng Hongjun, don’t assume your Zeng Family is invincible. If you truly intend to harm the Leng Family or Lin Feng, then I, Meng Ping, will not stand for it either. Let me make it clear to you that I am also protecting Lin Feng now. I don’t believe the Zeng Family is so powerful that it can intimidate us. When the Zeng Family is capable of standing on equal footing with the Meng-Leng alliance, then you can talk big. So for now, you’d better scram," Meng Ping initially held his silence, watching from the sidelines because, after all, this was the Leng Family’s matter and Leng Hui was present, so it wasn’t his place to interject.

But when he saw Zeng Hongjun threatening Leng Hui to hand over Lin Feng, Meng Ping could no longer restrain himself. Once Leng Hui had spoken, with a face as cold as ice, he rudely said to Zeng Hongjun. Meng Ping didn’t care what kind of person Lin Feng was, but since Lin Feng had saved his life, based on this alone, he could not stand idly by. Otherwise, what would he, Meng Ping, amount to?

Leng Hui was ready to risk it all against Zeng Hongjun to protect Lin Feng. Likewise, Meng Ping was also prepared to do the same. Moreover, from the sidelines, he had gleaned a good understanding of the entire affair, firmly believing that Zeng Xiaolong got what he deserved. Under such circumstances, Zeng Hongjun unreasonably pressured Leng Hui for someone without discerning right from wrong. Who knows what was going through his mind? The Leng Family might not be a match for the Zeng Family, but the Zeng Family wouldn’t dare to make a move if the Meng Family joined forces with the Leng Family!

Zeng Hongjun was startled by Meng Ping’s words. He could never have dreamed that Meng Ping would suddenly step forward representing the Meng Family to protect Lin Feng. How was this happening? Meng Ping? Why was he getting involved? By all accounts, this shouldn’t be possible. Lin Feng was the grandson-in-law personally chosen by Leng Hui, so it was natural for Leng Hui to defend Lin Feng, but... but what did this have to do with Meng Ping? No matter how hard Zeng Hongjun tried, he couldn’t understand what relation Lin Feng could possibly have with the Meng Family.

However, now that Meng Ping had publicly voiced his support, it indicated that the relationship between the Meng Family and Lin Feng was also extraordinarily good; otherwise, Meng Ping would never have made such a statement. Zeng Hongjun had the confidence to deal with the Leng Family alone, but if the Meng Family were to get involved as well, then there would be no chance at all. Not to mention the Zeng Family, there was simply no family in Capital City capable of withstanding the combined forces of the Leng and Meng Families—that...

"You... Very well! Just you wait!" Seeing the staunch attitudes of both Leng Hui and Meng Ping, Zeng Hongjun knew he would leave without accomplishing anything today. Not only could he not take Lin Feng to avenge his grandson, but he also endured another humiliation for the Zeng Family. Infuriated to the point of trembling, faced with both the Leng and Meng Families’ insistence on protecting Lin Feng, there was nothing more he could do. In his utter helplessness, all he could do was spout a venomous threat and storm off angrily.

"Get lost quickly, and never come to the Leng Family again, or I’ll have you thrown out myself!" Leng Hui, seeing Zeng Hongjun raging, knew the matter had escalated to a point of no return, with no chance of reconciliation between the Leng and Zeng families. It was already a small mercy that it hadn’t escalated to outright war. With this thought, Leng Hui became even less courteous, hurling another insult. He had no reason not to; Zeng Hongjun had come looking for trouble!

Upon hearing Leng Hui’s words, Zeng Hongjun was fuming inside. His grandson had both legs broken by Lin Feng, and here he was demanding justice from Leng Hui, only to meet with Leng Hui’s unwavering resolve to protect Lin Feng at all costs. What on earth was happening? Lin Feng’s reputation was well-known throughout Capital City, and yet here was Leng Hui, against all reason and odds, staunchly supporting Lin Feng. That was utterly illogical; no sane person would do such a thing, and it completely upended his original plan.

Moreover, it was barely conceivable that Leng Hui would stand firm on having Lin Feng as his grandson-in-law; but for Meng Ping to get involved at a time like this, emphatically siding with Leng Hui to protect Lin Feng? That was peculiar indeed. Meng Ping was a man known throughout Capital City for his uprightness and integrity. Yet today, he joined Leng Hui in safeguarding that rascal Lin Feng, which was utterly astonishing. How could Lin Feng have possibly earned Meng Ping’s protection as well?

Now that both the Leng and Meng Families were determined to shield Lin Feng, Zeng Hongjun was utterly out of options and had to leave in a state of deep frustration. As angry as he was inside, there was nothing he could do. The Leng Family alone was already a formidable opponent to the Zeng Family; with the addition of the Meng Family, the Zeng Family didn’t stand a chance. There was no choice but to swallow his grievances and accept his misfortune.

What merits did Lin Feng exactly possess that earned him the favor and unconditional support from both Leng Hui and Meng Ping? It was baffling. Especially Leng Hui’s remarks tonight about Lin Feng being his selected grandson-in-law, knowing everything about Lin Feng—ordinarily, who would agree to betroth their granddaughter to Lin Feng when he was already entangled with another woman while having a fiancée? The Leng Family possessed high prestige, and Leng Mei was an extraordinary woman. Leng Hui must have lost his mind, he must have!
