C18 So That's How It Is Uncle Liu will Help You!!
This is precisely why Liu Feng was feeling scared.
Everyone nodded in agreement!
Previously, Liu Dahai had certainly left everyone in awe, but that was partly because they found him to be a tough person to deal with, which contributed to their sense of terror towards him.
In the midst of their astonishment, they also harbored fear towards Liu Feng.
But now, having listened to Liu Dahai's words, everyone suddenly perceived his values to be quite admirable. His principles seemed upright, which somewhat diminished their shock and reduced their fear.
Naturally, this gave rise to more puzzled glances and expressions of confusion.
At that moment, Fatty Liu also noticed Liu Feng.
Earlier, upon entering, Fatty Liu had spotted Liu Feng, who now had no place to hide in the hall.
The young men and women next to Liu Feng, despite having heard Liu Dahai label them as Liu Feng's fair-weather friends, dared not show any disrespect to Liu Dahai in response to his comment.
Their faces broke into forced smiles as they looked at Liu Dahai.
Some of their smiles were so exaggerated that they bordered on sycophantic.
In essence, as they faced Liu Dahai, everyone wore a grin.
Yet Liu Dahai had no kind words for them.
It was at this moment that Liu Dahai made his way over.
His extremely overweight figure wobbled as he walked, and although the sight was comical, no one in the vicinity dared to laugh out loud.
Liu Dahai's gaze swept over the group, then darted around the room.
Since Xiao Nan was among the crowd, within Liu Feng's group, Liu Dahai didn't get a clear view of him.
After scanning the room, Liu Dahai noticed many people gathered around and also caught a glimpse of Wang Ziyan and Shangguan Ruohong.
But after a brief look, he turned his attention away.
Then, Liu Dahai abruptly called out to Liu Feng, "You scoundrel, what trouble have you stirred up here again? Are you exploiting my presence to bully others? I want a clear explanation. If you don't come clean today, you'll see if I don't deal with you. Running off here without reporting to me... Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies. If my son has wronged anyone here, I offer my sincere apologies on his behalf. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Liu Dahai was known for his upright values and impeccable manners.
Despite his somewhat portly and comical appearance, he exuded a charming simplicity.
Even in such circumstances, he managed to offer bows to those around him.
For someone of his stature to speak in such a way was indeed flattering to many.
Most of the people at Hemipeel Tower were of considerable wealth or status, yet the majority were still everyday folks.
Hearing Liu Dahai's words, they couldn't help but dismissively wave their hands.
"Director Liu, you're too kind. It's really nothing. Young Master Liu didn't bully anyone; it was a different issue with some nuances."
"There wasn't any bullying, Director Liu. You haven't wronged us. He's connected to these two ladies and that individual."
"Actually, Director Liu, this matter doesn't concern us. We're not involved. You should really speak with Young Master Liu."
...
With their dismissive gestures, the crowd quickly distanced themselves from any association with Liu Feng.
Liu Dahai understood that Liu Feng was entangled with the two women and another person he couldn't quite discern.
With this in mind, Liu Dahai turned his attention back to Liu Feng. "You scoundrel, come out here and explain yourself."
No sooner had Liu Dahai finished speaking than a woman with dyed yellow hair and a delicate appearance timidly stepped forward.
Liu Feng was right behind her.
"Actually, Uncle Liu, it's not that... someone ridiculed Feng and even made fun of your name, that nickname that no one dares to utter. That's why Feng got angry. Feng, come on, say something."
After the woman briefly explained, Liu Feng, who had been standing behind her, stepped forward, his face ashen.
He gave Liu Dahai a nervous smile, his hands uncertain of where to rest.
Then, Liu Feng's gaze moved from Liu Dahai to Xiao Nan.
"Dad, you have no idea. This guy here was making fun of your nickname, Fatty Liu, and even said he wanted to 'teach me a lesson,' acting as if he were my elder... Of course, I wasn't going to stand for it. And he claimed that even if you were right in front of him, he'd still dare to call you Fatty Liu."
Liu Feng realized it was time to redirect the attention elsewhere; otherwise, his father would surely take him to task for today's events.
Liu Dahai's face darkened upon hearing Liu Feng's words, his brow furrowing deeply. Despite his kind nature and upright principles, his commanding presence was hard-earned through tough experiences. So, when someone had the audacity to call him Fatty Liu—and even suggested that people would dare to do so to his face—how could Liu Dahai not be upset?
The bodyguards standing beside Liu Dahai all showed signs of unease.
Liu Minghui, the head of Hemipeel Tower and Liu Dahai's companion, looked particularly displeased.
"You're speaking rather boldly, Mr. Liu. Not to criticize, but you can't afford to be this gentle anymore. People are walking all over us, acting high and mighty. Feng, who is it? Tell Uncle Liu, who dares to bully us? Today, I want to see who has the gall to mess with Mr. Liu. I won't stand for it! Uncle Liu, I'll back you up!" Liu Minghui stepped forward, addressing Liu Feng.
Following Liu Feng's gaze, Liu Minghui caught sight of Xiao Nan.
As Liu Minghui was about to add more, he was startled by a sudden whooshing sound from behind.
Startled, Liu Minghui wondered why there was a gust of wind coming from behind him. What was happening?
