A dispute escalated into violence before Gong Chengbin could even react.
Just as Qin Yong's subordinate was about to grab Gong Chengbin, his hand was caught.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yong's subordinate was hot-tempered. As he cursed, he swung his other hand.
*Smack!*
A loud slap echoed through the jewelry store.
After being slapped, Qin Yong's subordinate felt dizzy, and his ears rang.
"Useless fellow!"
Qin Yong had initially expected his subordinate to apprehend Gong Chengbin with ease.
To his surprise, Du Fei, who had refused to sell him jade earlier, was a skilled fighter.
In an instant, his subordinate was stunned.
Qin Yong, showing no concern for his subordinate, simply deemed him incompetent.
"You're quite good at fighting, aren't you?" Qin Yong sneered. "Attack him together! I want to see just how good he is!"
At his command, all the thugs, including those who had been blocking the store entrance, swarmed towards Du Fei.
"Ah Bin, this is serious," Shao Junjie said, his brow furrowed as he saw Du Fei surrounded. "Shouldn't we call the police?"
After a moment's hesitation, Shao Junjie spoke.
If there were any other option, Shao Junjie wouldn't want to cross Qin Yong, as his father was a formidable man.
However, seeing Du Fei being beaten up in his store made Shao Junjie feel responsible.
So, he gritted his teeth and decided to have Gong Chengbin call the police.
After all, given Gong Chengbin's background, Qin Yong's father, no matter how ruthless, would likely show some respect to Gong Chengbin's father.
But Gong Chengbin waved his hand. "No need. Du Fei is amazing. These guys will be begging for mercy soon. Just watch."
Begging for mercy?
Was Gong Chengbin joking?
Shao Junjie looked at the twenty to thirty thugs surrounding Du Fei and imagined Du Fei being beaten to the ground.
Even if Du Fei was skilled, as the saying goes, one cannot fight against so many.
Du Fei might be able to handle one or two, but he couldn't possibly defeat such a large group.
Shao Junjie took out his phone and began to dial.
However, as he was about to press the call button, what he witnessed left him utterly stunned.
Du Fei, surrounded by the mob, made his move.
In an instant, he transformed into a blur.
Wherever he went, people fell.
In less than two minutes, all the thugs who had surrounded Du Fei lay defeated on the ground.
Du Fei then walked up to Qin Yong.
"You, what do you want!"
Qin Yong had been expecting Du Fei to be incapacitated. He never imagined Du Fei could take on so many and defeat them all. It was simply unbelievable.
"Heh, you said you were going to break my hands and feet earlier. I'm standing here now. Show me how you plan to break them."
Du Fei looked at Qin Yong, his gaze chilling.
This man had previously tried to force him to sell his prized jade and, upon being refused, had blocked Shao Junjie's store. This was outrageous.
"You have the guts to kill me, do it! Otherwise, when my dad gets here, I'll have him kill your whole…"
Although Qin Yong was shocked by Du Fei's combat prowess, the thought of his father immediately bolstered his courage.
However, as he was about to threaten Du Fei's entire family, he was intimidated by Du Fei's aura and couldn't utter the last word.
"It seems your father is your courage to act atrociously. Fine, call your father now and tell him to come over."
Du Fei made an unexpected decision.
"Du Fei."
Hearing Du Fei's instruction for Qin Yong to call his father, Shao Junjie couldn't help but try to intervene.
Qin Yong glared at Shao Junjie with a malevolent look, silencing him.
Du Fei said calmly, "Ah Jie, I know what you're worried about. But as the saying goes, cut the weeds by the roots. If I don't make this guy fear me today, he'll retaliate when he gets another chance. Don't worry, leave it to me."
Du Fei himself wasn't afraid of Qin Yong's retaliation.
But Shao Junjie was different. Though he owned a jewelry store and was considered wealthy and influential by ordinary people, Qin Yong's father could ruin him with a single word.
Therefore, Du Fei's decision to have Qin Yong call his father was also an attempt to resolve the issue once and for all, so Shao Junjie wouldn't have to live in fear.
Qin Yong quickly called his father.
"Kid, you're dead!"
After the call, Qin Yong regained his arrogant demeanor.
The name Qin Xinzhu commanded respect throughout Rongcheng. No matter how capable Du Fei was, he was as good as dead once his father arrived.
Qin Yong couldn't help but smirk.
"Ah Bin, quickly call your dad and ask him to mediate. Otherwise, when Qin Yong's father arrives, we'll all be in big trouble."
Seeing Qin Yong's triumphant smile after the call, Shao Junjie grew worried.
It was understandable, given Qin Xinzhu's notorious reputation.
"Oh, why are you so worried? Since Du Fei said not to worry, you can relax even if the sky falls. By the way, I'm thirsty. Get me some water."
Unlike Shao Junjie's anxiety, Gong Chengbin remained nonchalant.
Indeed, Qin Xinzhu's name was intimidating, but Gong Chengbin had even greater faith in Du Fei.
Du Fei had repeatedly accomplished things beyond his wildest imagination, so Gong Chengbin would believe him even if he claimed to pluck stars from the sky.
Thus, Gong Chengbin directly asked Shao Junjie to fetch him some water.
Seeing Du Fei and Gong Chengbin's indifferent expressions, Shao Junjie decided to let fate take its course.
Things would work out eventually. Gong Chengbin was the son of Gong Weimin, one of the top ten wealthiest individuals. Even if Qin Xinzhu was ruthless, wouldn't he at least show some respect to Gong Weimin?
With this thought, Shao Junjie turned to pour two glasses of water for Du Fei and Gong Chengbin.
Time ticked by.
As the sound of hurried footsteps approached from outside the jewelry store, everyone's attention turned to the entrance.
The first to enter were two burly middle-aged men. Though their appearances were ordinary, their bulging temples indicated to those in the know their extraordinary capabilities.
Following them, a man in a Zhongshan suit, exuding an air of dominance in his every movement, walked in.
"Dad!"
As the imposing man entered, Qin Yong's face lit up with joy, and he strode towards him.
