C7 Just You Wait!!

Ye Xuerou's complexion was ashen as she watched Zhao Yunfei fall several meters away, unable to rise. Snapping out of her shock, her attention shifted to her rescuer.

The man before her wore a hat and clutched a fishing rod. His expression was serene, yet he exuded an aura of righteousness. Ye Xuerou gasped in recognition—it was Lin Feng, the same man she had seen dozing off on the seaside rocks while fishing.

The sight of the fishing rod in Lin Feng's grasp triggered a memory of the object that had sent Zhao Yunfei soaring through the air. Could Lin Feng have used it to launch Zhao Yunfei? Was Lin Feng actually a martial arts expert?

It took a moment for Ye Xuerou to collect herself before she expressed her heartfelt thanks. "Thank you for saving me!" she said to Lin Feng, her voice filled with gratitude.

Lin Feng offered his hand with a smile. "Don't mention it. Are you hurt?"

"I'm okay," Ye Xuerou replied, shaking her head. She reached for his hand and pulled herself up, her right foot tender from a sprain.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yunfei struggled to get up. Lin Feng's voice struck a chord of familiarity, and upon seeing Lin Feng, Zhao Yunfei exploded with rage. "Lin Feng, it's you!"

Curiosity piqued, Ye Xuerou turned to Lin Feng. "You know him?"

Lin Feng assisted Ye Xuerou to a stone bench at the roadside. "I'm Lin Feng. Yes, I know him, and he knows me. I never imagined he'd stoop to such lows."

"Do you have a history with him?" Ye Xuerou inquired.

Lin Feng nodded. "Yes, but he also opened my eyes to the true nature of a woman."

A thought dawned on Ye Xuerou. "Did he take your girlfriend from you?"

A pained expression crossed Lin Feng's face. "Exactly. Zhao Yunfei took my girlfriend yesterday."

"Is her name Lee Siyu?" Ye Xuerou asked, her concern evident.

Surprised, Lin Feng looked at Ye Xuerou. "How did you know?"

Ye Xuerou's gaze shifted to Zhao Yunfei, who was a short distance away, and she spoke with a sneer, "Last night, I caught him and Lee Siyu red-handed at the Hilton Hotel."

Turning to Lin Feng, she continued, "But rest assured, I've exacted your revenge. I've severed all business ties between our family company and his. Without our products, his company is as good as bankrupt!"

Lin Feng's face lit up with gratitude as he took Ye Xuerou's hands in his. "I can't thank you enough," he said earnestly.

Ye Xuerou hadn't anticipated such an impassioned response, which left her feeling somewhat embarrassed, though not upset.

Gently withdrawing her hands, she reassured him, "There's no need for thanks. I'm his ex-girlfriend, after all. I'm just as much a victim as you are."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement. "Exactly, we're both victims. But don't worry, I'll protect you from now on—he won't get the chance to hurt you again."

"Thank you for coming to my rescue," Ye Xuerou expressed her gratitude.

Noticing her discomfort, Lin Feng offered, "Your ankle is sprained. Let me carry you to the hospital."

After a brief pause, Ye Xuerou suggested, "Perhaps you should call the police first. Have them arrest him."

Lin Feng reassured her, "I've already taken care of it. I called the police before I even came to your aid. They'll be here any minute."

He added, "Plus, I've got the attack recorded on my phone. That footage alone could get him charged with attempted murder."

Ye Xuerou was taken aback.

Lin Feng had called the police before saving her? How was that possible?

The event had unfolded so quickly; it seemed beyond the capability of an ordinary person to manage all that in such a short span of time.

Ye Xuerou couldn't help but be amazed.

Reading her astonishment, Lin Feng explained with a smile, "I was filming the scenery with my phone just before I arrived. That's when I caught this jerk in the act and immediately dialed 911."

Of course, Lin Feng hadn't just happened to capture Zhao Yunfei's attack. The previous night, while in his hotel room, he had foreseen the assault on Ye Xuerou.

The sequence included Zhao Yunfei stealthily hiding behind a large tree by the roadside, Ye Xuerou's casual dog-walking moments, and her narrow escape from Zhao Yunfei's grasp.

He had foreseen everything.

He was aware that Zhao Yunfei harbored deadly intentions toward Ye Xuerou and, in a way, Zhao Yunfei was his adversary.

Thus, whether his motive was to rescue Ye Xuerou or confront Zhao Yunfei, he was determined to thwart the impending crisis.

After all, unsettling his enemy was a source of personal satisfaction.

So, he found himself fishing near Ye Xuerou's seaside villa.

His precise knowledge of when Ye Xuerou would face danger allowed him to steer the course of events.

He preemptively alerted the authorities as the peril to Ye Xuerou loomed.

With composure, he documented Zhao Yunfei's violent assault, managing to save Ye Xuerou just in time.

Naturally, Lin Feng kept the fact that he possessed a superpower to himself.

Clearly, Ye Xuerou was reluctant to accept Lin Feng's explanation when she heard it.

Yet, she still struggled to wrap her mind around it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yunfei, not far off, lost his composure upon realizing Lin Feng had called the police. He bellowed, "Lin Feng, you're a dead man, I swear I'll kill you!"

Attempting to rise, he was met with excruciating pain.

Following a bloodcurdling scream, Zhao Yunfei collapsed to the ground.

Lin Feng approached and crouched before him, wearing a smile. In a hushed tone meant only for Zhao Yunfei, he said, "You had the audacity to go after Ye Xuerou of Ye's Group. Now, you can look forward to your cell."

"Lin Feng, your death is certain. You're the one who's ruined me, and I will have my revenge!" Zhao Yunfei gasped for air, his eyes wide with fury, resembling a cornered animal fighting for its life.

With a dismissive chuckle, Lin Feng remarked, "To think a young master of the esteemed Zhao family would stoop so low, akin to a stray dog. Truly a shame."

He then rose and made his way to Ye Xuerou.

"You've hurt your foot. Let me take you to the doctor," Lin Feng offered earnestly, his gaze filled with genuine concern.

Ye Xuerou's eyebrows dipped slightly as she murmured, "You don't need to carry me; I can walk on my own."

However, before she could complete her sentence, Lin Feng had already swept her into his embrace.

Looking up at Lin Feng with wide, startled eyes, Ye Xuerou met his gaze.

Flashing her a warm, reassuring smile, Lin Feng asked, "May I hold you?"

A deep blush spread across Ye Xuerou's cheeks.

Just then, a piercing scream of anguish tore through the air—Zhao Yunfei had reached his breaking point.
