Chapter 041 【Taking Action】

Chen Guisheng saw Chen Minjun charging over, pushed through the pain to get up from the ground, quickly intercepted the furious Chen Minjun, and pleaded, "Brother Tiger, please don't make things difficult for my daughter. Here's a thousand Hong Kong dollars for now, and I'll definitely give you the rest next week."

Perhaps Chen Guisheng picked up on Brother Tiger and his men's ill intentions toward Chen Minjun, and with a guilty conscience, he in the end chose to hand over a thousand dollars.

"Dad, step aside. Let me teach these scumbags a lesson for you!" Chen Minjun said angrily, not taking Brother Tiger and his men seriously at all.

"This chick is quite feisty!" Brother Tiger licked his lips with a lecherous smile and said, "Paying back debts is only natural. Either you give me the money today, or let your daughter spend the night with us. You owe me five thousand Hong Kong dollars. Having your daughter serve us for one night is already you getting off easy!"

"Brother Tiger, please spare my daughter. I'll definitely repay your money." Although Chen Guisheng was a hopeless gambler, he was also a father. He wouldn't let his daughter suffer any harm because of him.

"Get lost!" Brother Tiger's expression darkened as he kicked Chen Guisheng to the ground.

"You've got a death wish!" Chen Minjun had held back earlier because she knew they had a point, but now, seeing Brother Tiger attack again, she finally snapped. She let fly with a swift side kick.

"Thwack!" Brother Tiger hadn't expected Chen Minjun to be so skilled. He was kicked to the ground, a burning pain spreading across his shoulder.

"Get her! Beat this bitch to death!" Brother Tiger endured the pain in his shoulder and ordered his men.

The men behind Brother Tiger had already rushed forward when Chen Minjun made her move. Now, hearing his command, they immediately surrounded Chen Minjun.

"Brother Tiger, I beg you, please spare my daughter!" Chen Guisheng lay on the ground, begging with a desperate expression.

Neither Chen Minjun nor Brother Tiger's men paid him any attention. The former had no opportunity, while the latter simply didn't care.

Although Chen Minjun had practiced Taekwondo, Taekwondo is ultimately more for show. It was fine for dealing with one or two people, but facing seven or eight strong, burly men was a tall order.

In just a moment, Chen Minjun was kicked to the ground by one of the big men. Just as she tried to get up and continue fighting, the men had already surrounded her, sneering coldly as they looked at her.

Clearly, she had no chance.

"Take the girl away!" Brother Tiger, seeing his men had subdued Chen Minjun, stood up, brushed the dust off his shoulders, and said coldly.

"Hold it." At that moment, a deep voice interrupted Brother Tiger.

Brother Tiger and his men were jolted and looked toward the source of the voice, seeing a man with somewhat dark skin and a crew cut.

This man was none other than Gu Feng.

Initially, when Gu Feng saw Chen Minjun, he thought she was in trouble and wanted to get out of the car to help. Although he wasn't too fond of Chen Minjun, they were both employees of Zifeng Middle School after all.

However, when Gu Feng overheard the conversation between Chen Minjun and Chen Guisheng, he left. But as he was leaving, he saw through the rearview mirror how Brother Tiger was bullying Chen Guisheng, so he had the driver turn the car back.

"Kid, trying to play the hero saving the beauty?" Brother Tiger sneered and said, "He owes me money. If he can't repay, using his daughter to pay it off is only natural. If you don't want to end up in the hospital, get as far away as possible. Don't go looking for trouble!"

"I never agreed to hand over my daughter to you. I said I'd repay you next week." Chen Guisheng said, his eyes red.

Gu Feng glanced at Chen Minjun. At that moment, her hands were held by two big men, holding her fast.

"Let her go." Gu Feng stared coldly at the two big men holding Chen Minjun.

"Fuck, who do you think you are?" one of the big men said irritably. "You think I'll let go just because you say so?"

As he spoke, Gu Feng's body suddenly shot forward like a gust of wind, rushing to Chen Minjun's side and throwing two quick punches.

Before the two big men could even attempt to dodge, Gu Feng's fists slammed hard into their faces.

With two dull thuds, "Thump! Thump!" the two big men fell to the ground, expressions of pain on their faces.

Everyone, including Brother Tiger and Chen Minjun, stared in shock, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened was real.

"How much does he owe you?" Gu Feng asked, staring at Brother Tiger.

Brother Tiger swallowed hard but didn't answer Gu Feng's question. Instead, he jerked his chin at the two big men beside Gu Feng.

Seeing Brother Tiger's signal, the two big men immediately charged at Gu Feng.

"Whack!"

"Whack!"

Without even looking, just as the two men were less than a meter away, Gu Feng suddenly delivered two consecutive side kicks. Their bodies flew backward one after the other.

From the moment they charged until they hit the ground, Gu Feng never looked back. He simply stared calmly at Brother Tiger.

Brother Tiger was intimidated by Gu Feng's aura. Gu Feng's gaze made him uneasy. He glanced at the four big men on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "F-five... five thousand dollars."

Gu Feng walked up to Brother Tiger, took out his wallet from his pants pocket, pulled out five one-thousand-dollar Hong Kong bills, and handed them to Brother Tiger. He said coldly, "This is the money he owes you. From now on, he no longer owes you anything. If you continue to bother them, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Looking into Gu Feng's icy eyes and hearing his domineering words, Brother Tiger wore a frightened expression. With trembling hands, he took the money and quickly lowered his head.

"Scram!" Seeing that Brother Tiger had taken the money, Gu Feng slowly uttered the word.

Brother Tiger's face paled with fear. Not daring to say more, he quickly signaled to the four big men on the ground.

The four big men, having been incapacitated by Gu Feng with a single move, were terrified of him. Seeing Brother Tiger's signal, they said nothing, struggled to get up, and followed Brother Tiger as they slunk away.

"If possible, you should consider moving. Those people might come looking for you again." Gu Feng had intended to leave but hesitated and still offered the advice.

Since Gu Feng appeared, Chen Minjun's expression had been very complex. Seeing Gu Feng drive away the loan sharks, she wanted to say thank you, but upon hearing his emotionless words, she swallowed the words of gratitude.

Chen Guisheng, however, didn't have as many thoughts as Chen Minjun. Hearing Gu Feng's words, he immediately said gratefully, "Thank you for helping us, father and daughter."

"No need for thanks. I advise you not to gamble in the future." Gu Feng glanced at Chen Guisheng, then walked to the roadside, got into the taxi, and never once looked at Chen Minjun.

Watching Gu Feng leave, Chen Guisheng's expression changed slightly. He took out the thousand dollars and handed it to Chen Minjun, saying, "Minjun, I was wrong before. Dad won't gamble anymore. Here's your thousand dollars back. I'll go back with you."

Chen Guisheng's actions surprised Chen Minjun. She looked at him somewhat incredulously.

"That man is right. I can't gamble anymore, or this family will be ruined." Chen Guisheng chuckled and said, "By the way, Minjun, do you know him?"

Chen Minjun took the money and nodded slightly.

"No wonder he was willing to help us." Chen Guisheng wore an expression of sudden realization. "Since you know him, when we have money in the future, we should repay him. Also, that man is quite good. Him helping us might mean he's interested in you."

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Minjun deliberately put on a stern face.

Seeing the strange look in Chen Minjun's eyes, Chen Guisheng seemed to guess her thoughts. He chuckled and said, "There aren't many good men in the world these days. Since you don't like rich kids, he's a very good choice. Seize the opportunity. Otherwise, if someone else snatches him away, don't come crying to your dad."

"Dad, what do you know! That guy acted all cool just now, but he's actually a very wicked person. He's a teacher at our school but has designs on students. Besides, he's rich. That amount of money means nothing to him. Maybe he just wanted to show off his wealth in front of us!" Chen Minjun said this, but in her heart, she wondered, *Is he really that kind of person?*

Chen Guisheng wanted to say something, but seeing the hesitant look on his daughter's face, he understood perfectly and said no more. Putting his arm around Chen Minjun's shoulders, he walked forward with her.

Meanwhile, Brother Tiger led his men to another street.

"Brother Tiger, are we just going to let this go?" One of the big men who had been kicked in the shoulder by Gu Feng rubbed his shoulder and said somewhat gloomily.

Brother Tiger frowned and said darkly, "That guy is a tough character. We're not like big gangs such as the Red Star Gang or the Dong Xing Gang, who can handle anyone. When it comes to tough characters like that, we should stay as far away as possible."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Of course, this matter isn't over either. That guy didn't seem to know that little bitch. Let's investigate Chen Guisheng's home address these next few days. Once we find it, we'll go to their home to find the father and daughter. Damn it, making us brothers take a beating together. When we catch that little bitch, I'll fuck her to death."

Hearing Brother Tiger's words, the men's gloomy moods improved considerably. Although they wanted revenge on Gu Feng, Brother Tiger was right—Gu Feng was indeed a tough character. They couldn't even withstand a single encounter with him. How could they seek revenge?

What Brother Tiger didn't know was that even Xiang Tianhua, the boss of the Dong Xing Gang who commanded respect in Hong Kong's underworld, dared not move against Gu Feng lightly. No matter how much he schemed, he never expected that Gu Feng and Chen Minjun knew each other.

This doomed him to misfortune.

P.S.: Yesterday was my birthday, and I forgot all about it. My dad called after seven to wish me a happy birthday, and only then did I remember. Afterward, I drank a bit, got a little muddled, and almost forgot to update. Luckily, I didn't miss it. Everyone, please cast some votes as a birthday gift, hehe...
