The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO
Chapter 40 - 40 40 All Settled

40: Chapter 40 All Settled 40: Chapter 40 All Settled The commotion grew, and the manager of the restaurant rushed over.

Seeing Ling Feng’s soaked half body, a sense of alarm struck his heart.

As a well-known Western-style restaurant, Candlelight Restaurant’s specialities were authentic meals and a pleasant dining environment.

But now…

“Sir, I’m terribly sorry!” the manager quickly approached Ling Feng and said, “Due to our staff’s negligence that disturbed your meal and caused you a loss, this is our restaurant’s responsibility.

We’ll comp your meal, compensate for your clothes, and offer you a Gold Card for 50% off future purchases.

Although these compensations cannot make up for our mistake, they represent our sincerity!”

It must be said that the manager handled it quite appropriately, not shirking responsibility at first, which gave Ling Feng a slight favorable impression towards him.

“No need for you to shoulder the responsibility!” Ling Feng said indifferently, “I am well aware of what happened; the main culprit here is Guo Xiaodong!

So don’t bother trying to persuade me; if he doesn’t satisfy me today, I will not let this go easily!”

The manager felt bitter inside.

Although he wished he could tear Guo Xiaodong apart, Guo Xiaodong was after all a guest of the restaurant, and as the manager, it was naturally his duty to protect the guests!

“Sir, it is indeed his fault, but if you insist on this approach, once the police are involved, we will be seen as making an unreasonable fuss!” the manager pleaded earnestly, “The situation has come to this point, you can’t just beat him to death, can you?”

Ling Feng looked at Guo Xiaodong and said, “Well, I’ll give you two choices, so you can’t say I’m being unreasonable!”

“First, you kneel down and apologize; you needn’t compensate for the clothes, you can’t afford to anyway!

Second, I pour half a basin of hot soup on you, and then we’ll be even.

How about that?” Ling Feng said calmly, “This would be me doing right by you.”

Everyone was momentarily at a loss for words.

Although Ling Feng’s suggestion was aggressive, no fault could be found with it.

After all, this had all started because of him.

As they looked at Ling Feng’s drenched half, their gaze shifted toward Guo Xiaodong.

Guo Xiaodong’s face changed, a half basin of hot soup—who would survive that?

As for the first option, it was even more impossible for him to accept.

“I… I…” Guo Xiaodong stammered.

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, “What?

You have objections to my proposal?”

“I can compensate for your loss and offer you a sum of money!” Guo Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said, “But I won’t choose either of your options!”

“Do you think I care about your compensation?” Ling Feng said coldly, “Since you won’t choose, I’ll have to choose for you!”

Ling Feng said to the restaurant manager, “Bring me a basin of hot soup.”

Under Ling Feng’s powerful aura, the restaurant manager could not help but nod.

“No!” Guo Xiaodong shouted in panic, “This is your restaurant’s responsibility, not mine!

Your actions are contributing to the tyranny!

Besides, it wasn’t me who spilled the soup on you, you should go find that waiter, it has nothing do with me!”

The waiter who had been apologizing turned white suddenly; if they were indeed going to pinpoint responsibility, he absolutely couldn’t escape blame.

After all, the soup basin had flown from his tray.

Ling Feng looked coldly at Guo Xiaodong, “I don’t need your directions on how to handle this!

I’ll give you one more chance, which option do you choose?”

Liu Tingyu, seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, grew worried and tugged at Ling Feng’s hand, “Ling Feng, you aren’t scalded, are you?

Should we go to the hospital to have it checked out?”

Ling Feng patted Liu Tingyu’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not seriously hurt.

But this can’t end here!

Someone has to pay for their actions!”

Just then, a steaming bowl of soup was brought over.

Ling Feng glared coldly at the pale-faced Guo Xiaodong, “This is your last ten seconds, I hope you make a wise decision.”

“I…

I’ll give you money, a lot of money!” Guo Xiaodong said with fear in his eyes.

“Noise!” Ling Feng’s eyebrows raised, and he splashed the hot soup toward Guo Xiaodong.

Screams burst from Guo Xiaodong’s mouth as the scalding soup made his life a living hell!

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, as no one had expected such ruthlessness from this handsome young man!

Yun Hanrui’s heart also skipped a beat.

Was this still the Brother Feng she once knew?

However, seeing Ling Feng’s cold expression, Yun Hanrui suddenly felt a trace of envy for that girl.

“How wonderful it would be if Brother Lin could protect me like this…

No, if faced with such a situation, I believe Brother Lin would protect me just like Ling Feng!”

After such a big conflict, naturally, Ling Feng and his group left, leaving behind Guo Xiaodong writhing on the floor.

“Call the police,” sighed the restaurant manager.

With such an incident occurring in the restaurant, Candlelight Restaurant could not escape responsibility.

“No!” At that moment, Guo Xiaodong weakly shouted, “Don’t call the police, just dial 120 for me!

Please don’t call the police!”

Guo Xiaodong had another purpose for his visit, and if the police found anything, he really would be in big trouble!

The restaurant manager also breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the victim didn’t want to pursue the matter!

In that case, the restaurant wouldn’t have to take responsibility, which was a relief.

Walking on the street, Lin Zhijie and Yun Hanrui were discussing what had just happened.

“That was quite savage and rude!” Lin Zhijie disdained Ling Feng’s actions, “That young man is lucky that the other party isn’t pursuing the matter, otherwise, he would be facing a charge of intentional injury.”

“I actually think it was rather spirited,” Yun Hanrui purposely said, “I guess his girlfriend is very happy.”

“Happy?

I think worried is more like it!” Lin Zhijie pushed up his glasses and said, “One should plan carefully before acting.

That youth might seem spirited, but such hot-headedness can destroy him if he encounters a challenge he can’t handle!

If his girlfriend is mature enough, she definitely wouldn’t approve of his actions.”

Yun Hanrui nodded slightly, knowing Lin Zhijie was right!

But inside her heart, a hard-to-describe sense of loss emerged!

If in the world of love, one could always remain absolutely calm, would there be any real feelings between two people?

Love can make people crazy, it can make people lose their rationality!

Thus, a poet said, love is like fire, not only scorching, but also burning rationality!

Looking again at the man beside her, perfect as the ideal man of her dreams, she knew he was good and admired him, but why was there no impulse in her heart to throw caution to the wind?

Yun Hanrui rubbed her forehead, “Brother, I’m tired, I think I want to go back and rest early today!”
