Chapter 661: Chapter 699: I’ll Cover for You When There’s Trouble

"Eat it! Why wouldn’t you want to eat?" Feng Yucheng stomped on the steamed bun twice more before kicking it in front of Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang clenched his lips tightly, his eyes fixated on the steamed bun at his feet. His complexion was ashen, and when combined with the bloodstains on his face, he looked quite ferocious.

"I’ll count to three. If you don’t eat it by then," Feng Yucheng continued, "you won’t have to eat at all, and then you can leave."

The words seemed calm, but were laced with a thick threat.

Wang Qiang’s expression grew even uglier. To eat that steamed bun meant not just humiliation, but the loss of his self-respect. However, by not eating, he would implicate all his brothers, something Wang Qiang was utterly unwilling to do.

"One!"

"Two!"

Before Feng Jiacheng could utter "three," Wang Qiang suddenly squatted down, picked up the steamed bun.

"You can’t eat it!" all his brothers exclaimed at once.

Wang Qiang turned to look at his brothers, his mouth twitching as he said, "My brothers, thank you, but I can’t drag you into this. We can’t beat him."

"Haha... Smart kid," Feng Yucheng laughed triumphantly. He had won Sunx Na with his schemes, but she was always unhappy. He knew that Sunx Na hadn’t yet let go of her feelings for Wang Qiang, and now he had the chance to humiliate Wang Qiang thoroughly. He revelled in the comfort of that thought, wanting to make Wang Qiang lose face, to erase any dignity in front of Sunx Na. His goal was nearly achieved.

Wang Qiang looked at Sunx Na, then suddenly stretched out his hand and shoved the steamed bun into his mouth.

"Don’t eat..." Sunx Na shouted, then couldn’t help but start sobbing. She knew all too well the good this man had done for her. She truly liked Wang Qiang and had thought they could manage a small home together. But a sudden turn of events forced her to leave Wang Qiang and throw herself into the arms of Feng Jiacheng, a man she detested beyond words.

Now, seeing Wang Qiang being so humiliated for her sake, her heart bled, and she couldn’t hold back her cries any longer.

But as Wang Qiang was about to take a bite of the steamed bun, a hand suddenly reached out and grasped his wrist. After struggling briefly without breaking free, Wang Qiang turned to look at Li Yifei and said urgently, "Manager Li, let me eat it."

Li Yifei looked at Wang Qiang coldly and said slowly, "Little Wang, are you a man or not?"

Wang Qiang’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

"Do you love her or not?" Li Yifei then pointed at Sunx Na.

At those words, Sunx Na’s crying ceased, and with eyes full of tears, she looked at Wang Qiang. He too looked back at her and, gritting his teeth, said, "I don’t love her!"

Initially, Sunx Na felt a stab of pain, but as she watched Wang Qiang’s foolish gaze, her heart suddenly ached even more. She understood that Wang Qiang said it so that she wouldn’t be reprimanded by Feng Jiacheng in the future.

Li Yifei slapped Wang Qiang across the face and roared, "As a man, you desire a woman but don’t have the guts to say it, you watch your woman suffer humiliation, yet you can’t save her, what kind of man are you?"

"I... I..." Wang Qiang’s lips quivered twice, but he couldn’t continue.

"A man should shelter his beloved woman from wind and rain, no matter the difficulties he must face them head-on. If you want to shrink away, then you’re not my brother. I’m asking you now, do you love that woman or not?"

Li Yifei’s last sentence exploded like a thunderclap, shaking Wang Qiang to his core. The voice seemed just like listening to a commanding officer during a military briefing, causing an instinctive straightening of his body as he blurted out loudly, "I do!"

"Good, now muster your courage! Take back your woman! If anything happens, I’ve got your back!" Li Yifei shouted once more.

Sun Na, upon hearing Wang Qiang’s declaration, couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and instinctively wanted to throw herself into Wang Qiang’s arms.

"Smack!" A crisp slap landed heavily on Sun Na’s face from Feng Jiacheng, sending her staggering and falling to the ground.

"Ah!" Wang Qiang, already fueled by Li Yifei’s rallying cry, could no longer contain his rage upon seeing his beloved woman struck; he let out a furious roar and charged at Feng Jiacheng like a tiger released from its cage.

Feng Jiacheng was taken aback, and the few men with him immediately rushed to take down Wang Qiang. But at that moment, Wang Qiang was like a man possessed, oblivious to the blows from others, his eyes bloodshot, fixated on Feng Jiacheng, who quickly backed away in fear.

Li Yifei then yelled, "Damn it, what are you waiting for, fight!" leading the charge himself.

The security brothers had been restless, and at that signal, they let out a cry and surged forward.

On Feng Jiacheng’s side, there were six or seven men, one fewer than Li Yifei’s team. But Li Yifei and his group were former soldiers with excellent physical conditioning and some hand-to-hand combat training. In the ensuing fight, they completely overpowered their opponents, and within moments, they had them sprawled out on the ground.

By then, Wang Qiang was on top of Feng Jiacheng, swinging his fists wildly, raining blows down on him with a vengeance. The days of humiliation he had suffered erupted in a torrent of revenge, battering Feng Jiacheng until he wailed for mercy.

"Quick, pull them apart!" the restaurant manager panicked, urgently instructing the restaurant’s security. With Feng Jiacheng being beaten in his establishment, it was on them, and later he’d have to answer to Brother Hu, not to mention Brother Heizi.

Sun Na, who was initially stunned, now turned pale with shock seeing Wang Qiang beating Feng Jiacheng. She rushed over to him, pleading, "Qiangzi, Qiangzi, stop it, please stop."

But Wang Qiang had already lost all reason, pummeling Feng Jiacheng mercilessly.

By this time, Li Yifei and the others had dealt with Feng Jiacheng’s associates. They deliberately blocked the restaurant’s security from interfering with Wang Qiang; after all, they’d already fought, and they might as well let Wang Qiang have his fill. However, given they were all security themselves, they didn’t physically engage with the restaurant’s security team.

"Qiangzi, stop, won’t you even listen to me now?" Sun Na, unable to restrain Wang Qiang, began to cry in desperation.

Wang Qiang’s raised hand suddenly froze mid-air as he turned to look at Sun Na.

"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, I know how kind you’ve been to me, I’ll never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime. Please, listen to me, run now, hurry!" Sun Na managed to pull Wang Qiang to his feet and pushed him, trying to make him flee from the trouble spot, her concern clearly written on her face.
