"Don't worry, Du Fei's medical skills are very impressive. Since he said there's no problem, your friend will definitely be fine."
Liu Shishi gently patted Liu Yingting's shoulder to comfort her.
At this moment, although she had a lot she wanted to ask, Liu Shishi knew that what her cousin needed most was comfort. Anything else could be discussed later.
Liu Yingting wanted to say that Hao Kai's knee was broken, a severe injury that, to put it bluntly, would leave him crippled. Yet, her cousin's boyfriend said it was nothing?
However, since Liu Shishi had spoken, and considering Du Fei's incredible martial prowess in saving her earlier, Liu Yingting could only keep her thoughts to herself.
Hao Kai's injury was partly her fault. Liu Yingting decided that once they returned to Rongcheng, she would find the best doctor for him.
Next, Du Fei asked Liu Shishi to take Liu Yingting back to the car first.
Scarface Si, standing by, helped Ren Xiang up.
"This son of a bitch, the moment I get back to Rongcheng, I'll find someone to kill him!"
After being helped up by Scarface Si, Ren Xiang gritted his teeth and glared at Du Fei in the distance.
Scarface Si comforted him, "Young Master Ren, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. We have plenty of time for revenge."
Even though his subordinates and the two bodyguards brought by Ren Xiang had all been taken down by Du Fei, Scarface Si felt this presented an opportunity.
Men like Scarface Si had weathered many storms in their lives, even coming close to death several times.
Yet, he had survived, relying on years of hard-won experience and his ability to seize opportunities.
While others would have abandoned Ren Xiang and fled as far as possible, Scarface Si didn't think that way. By standing firmly with Ren Xiang now, he was essentially securing a connection with him.
Under normal circumstances, a social climber like Scarface Si would never have had the chance to associate with someone like Ren Xiang.
Even though Ren Xiang had called him "Brother Si" with a polite tone earlier, which sounded rather impressive, Scarface Si knew deep down that it was only because they were on Fei'e Mountain, his territory. Ren Xiang was merely being courteous.
If they were anywhere else, Ren Xiang wouldn't even spare Scarface Si a glance, and Scarface Si wouldn't dare to utter a word.
This was because Ren Xiang's wealth was something Scarface Si could not even dream of accumulating in eight lifetimes.
"Brother Si, I apologize for my men getting caught up in this. I'll cover all the medical expenses. Don't worry, I won't let my friends suffer any losses!"
After glaring at Du Fei, Ren Xiang turned to Scarface Si beside him.
Upon hearing Ren Xiang's words, Scarface Si was overjoyed.
His sole purpose in doing all this was to curry favor with Ren Xiang. Now that Ren Xiang had referred to him as a "friend," his efforts were clearly not in vain.
"Young Master Ren, where did that come from? Frankly, my men are useless. So many of them couldn't even handle this young man. Alas."
Scarface Si was delighted inwardly, but on the surface, he sighed mournfully, as if genuinely distressed by his inability to help Ren Xiang.
...
"I'm sorry, cousin. It was my fault this time. I shouldn't have run off and caused so much trouble."
On the way back, Liu Yingting looked apologetically at Liu Shishi.
After what had just happened, Liu Yingting finally realized that her impulsive act had not only put her in grave danger but had also caused her cousin and the others immense worry.
Although her cousin, Liu Shishi, hadn't uttered a single word of reproach, Liu Yingting understood clearly how inappropriate her actions had been.
Seeing Liu Yingting beside her looking so remorseful, Liu Shishi gently pulled her into her arms and stroked her back.
"Tingting, since you know you were wrong, you must never be so willful again. Although you're not a child anymore, I have a duty to take care of you on behalf of your parents while you're in Rongcheng.
"From now on, anything you want to do, you must tell me in advance."
Liu Shishi's voice was like a warm current. After hearing her, Liu Yingting nodded obediently.
After the car returned to Rongcheng, Du Fei found a five-star hotel.
He completed the check-in procedures for Liu Yingting and then accompanied her upstairs with Liu Shishi.
Given the terrifying ordeal Liu Yingting had just experienced, Liu Shishi told Du Fei that she wouldn't be returning that night and would stay with her.
Du Fei nodded, acknowledging this.
He then told Liu Shishi to call him if she needed anything.
After bidding farewell to Liu Yingting, Liu Shishi personally escorted Du Fei to the elevator lobby before returning to her room.
Du Fei soon went downstairs and found Gong Chengbin standing by the car, smoking a cigarette.
Du Fei walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Ah Bin? Did you have something you wanted to tell me?"
In fact, Du Fei had noticed at Fei'e Mountain that Gong Chengbin seemed to have something he wanted to say.
However, it seemed he was reluctant to speak with Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting present, hesitating several times and ultimately remaining silent.
So, after Du Fei had taken Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting to their room, he directly asked.
"Du Fei, this might be a bit of trouble."
Gong Chengbin looked at Du Fei, his expression etched with worry.
"Is it about that guy I beat up?"
Du Fei immediately thought of the person at Fei'e Mountain.
But that shouldn't be the case. After all, Gong Chengbin's father was one of the top ten wealthiest men in Rongcheng. Even if he wasn't a rich second-generation heir who bullied others, was the person at Fei'e Mountain the son of some influential figure, to the point of making Gong Chengbin look so troubled?
"Yeah, I've only met that guy Ren Xiang once, when I was hanging out with my bad friends,"
Gong Chengbin paused and continued, "His father is a madman. If he finds out his son was wronged by you, he'll probably do anything. I heard before that Ren Xiang got into a fight over a girl and was beaten up. A few days later, the person who beat him up was in a car accident."
"Afterward, some people suspected Ren Xiang was behind it, but there was no evidence, and it was eventually dropped."
Gong Chengbin then told Du Fei that Ren Xiang's father doted on him immensely, being his only child born late in life. He gave Ren Xiang whatever he wanted.
Although Ren Xiang's father's fortune was significantly less than Gong Wei Min's, he was a madman, someone who would do anything for his son.
Coupled with the fact that Ren Xiang wasn't foolish and wouldn't provoke those stronger than him, he had mostly avoided trouble for so long.
Now, having had his fingers broken by Du Fei, Gong Chengbin estimated that his mad father would certainly not let this matter rest.
