Chapter 491: Chapter 491

"It’s not like I was the only one who got physical..."

Chen Ruonan, seeing herself at a disadvantage and Huo Feng so unafraid of trouble, began to shrink back, "You don’t believe me, ask the people here if I was also hit. Wasn’t I pushed into the swimming pool? It’s not just me being overbearing..."

Huo Feng snorted, "So what you’re saying is, you bully people but they’re not allowed to retaliate, huh? Others should just be good-tempered, take your insults, take your hits? Do you think my woman would be timid and easily bullied?"

Chen Ruonan was so cornered by Huo Feng that she didn’t have a word to say, and upon reflection, she didn’t even know how to counter?

Huo Feng flicked his fingers at Chen Chaonan, "Step aside. I wouldn’t want to hurt you by accident and then have your grandfather settle accounts with my family."

Chen Chaonan of course wouldn’t move aside. She knew that once Huo Feng got to Chen Ruonan, things would escalate...

However, how could Chen Chaonan’s slight frame stop Huo Feng?

Huo Feng grabbed Chen Chaonan’s hand, stood up, dragged her aside effortlessly.

To keep Chen Chaonan from being an obstacle, Huo Feng directly handed her off to Wen Miao, "Tomboy, keep her in check."

Obviously, that was a side effect of playing too many games.

However, Wen Miao found it inexplicably cool and obediently yanked Chen Chaonan from Huo Feng’s grip, using her formidable arm strength to restrain Chen Chaonan in the palm of her hand!

"Hey, who are you, let go!"

Chen Chaonan tried to break free from Wen Miao, but how could she contend with Wen Miao, who had trained in martial arts all year round, her strength comparable to a boy’s?

"Stand still! Unless you want Brother Feng to smack you around too!"

Wen Miao suddenly left a threat in Chen Chaonan’s ear.

At this moment, Huo Feng’s ten lackeys stood casually aside, some even languidly taking a seat on a lounger, propping their chin with one hand, silently watching the drama unfold.

By Huo Feng’s side, Yan Siyuan stood quietly, his gaze cold, locking onto Chen Ruonan who lay on the ground.

Within this chaotic scene, which clearly displayed the factions, only Shen Nuan seemed out of place, stuck in the center, not knowing what to do.

Since Chen Chaonan and her sister were called over by Shen Nuan, she was the one who least wanted things to turn out this way.

At this moment, Shen Nuan had no idea what to do...

She should’ve stepped in to stop Huo Feng, but when Huo Feng turned fierce, his face darkened, Shen Nuan was scared too!

Huo Feng touched his chin, one eyebrow cocked, his eyes dark and inscrutable as he focused on Chen Ruonan, "With so many people here, and you being a girl, I really don’t know what would be the right way to bully you?"

Chen Ruonan saw that very few people were on her side, and the only one who had helped her, Chen Chaonan, had been captured.

Facing Huo Feng now, she couldn’t say she wasn’t scared...

"Sis...sister, help me..."

At this point, Chen Ruonan didn’t even dare to speak with Huo Feng directly, her eyes darting desperately towards Chen Chaonan, seeking her help urgently.

Chen Chaonan was naturally frantic, shouting at Huo Feng, "No matter what, Huo Feng, be fierce, scold, but don’t use your fists! After all, she’s a girl!"

Huo Feng nodded, "I think so too. Beating you up would be letting you off too easily, and besides, your parents could easily find my house. If that happened, I could even get beaten up by my own dad..."

Nobody understood what Huo Feng meant by that?

But everyone knew, with Huo Feng saying this, he must have other methods up his sleeve! Definitely not simple!

"Bitch, where’s your phone?"

Huo Feng wiggled his fingers, "Give me your phone."

Chen Ruonan shook her head frantically, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at her phone on the coffee table, although for only a second, Huo Feng had noticed!

Huo Feng simply raised his hand, "Bring me her phone."

Being obedient, Pan Bo went over to fetch the phone and handed it to Huo Feng.

Huo Feng tapped on the phone screen, the lock screen wallpaper was clearly a selfie of Chen Ruonan, leaving no doubt it was her phone.

Huo Feng tapped on the screen, found it required face ID to unlock, flipped the phone over, and unexpectedly presented it to Chen Ruonan.

"What... what are you going to do..." Chen Ruonan got a scare, and upon seeing that he wanted to unlock the screen, she instinctively closed her eyes, scrunching up her features, staunchly refusing to let him unlock it.

With a fierce tone, Huo Feng pressed down on her head, "Are you gonna unlock it or not? Don’t make me use force!"

When Huo Feng applied pressure, even though he only used a bit of strength, Chen Ruonan was pressed so hard by that push that her head thudded.

Although it didn’t hit the ground, the scene of violence was captivating enough!

The crowd of tourists around were dumbfounded, and some had already silently taken out their smartphones, hoping to capture the current scene of violence and post it on the internet...

There were also a few bolder adults approaching, seemingly wanting to speak up for Chen Ruonan.

Huo Feng also realized the attention of the people around him and knew that if he took any more action, he might become the target of public criticism.

If such a video of violence were to be posted online, clueless internet warriors would certainly think that Huo Feng was the perpetrator of violence, and Chen Ruonan was the pitiful victim— creating a wave of public opinion... If it came to that, Huo Feng would be doxxed, his family background unearthed, and in more serious cases, his grandfather Huo Hai might retire early, making Huo Feng a sinner in the family!

Considering these consequences, Huo Feng then explained to the surrounding crowd, "Nobody should feel sorry for her. She is nothing but a brat who relies on her father’s official status, insults others as trash! Wen Miao, repeat what she said earlier!"

To win public favor, Huo Feng had to stage this scene in front of a crowd of tourists, which was quite troublesome!

However, if he ignored the people around him, the consequences could be even worse!

So sometimes people just can’t act rashly and must consider various aspects. The more one has, the more one must be cautious in one’s words and actions, whereas those who stand alone can act without worry!

This is the unerring principle of human interaction. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

Wen Miao, upon hearing Huo Feng’s words, repeated the unpleasant things Chen Ruonan had said: "She said that people like them, the descendants of officials, should marry equally well-off families, while commoners like us shouldn’t casually mix around or play indiscriminately! She also said that our family background is ordinary, and if we play with people like Huo Feng, who come from an official’s lineage, we’ll eventually be dumped. Basically, she looked down on the children of ordinary families in every way. Ha, I don’t believe it, how high-ranking is your dad really? What makes you so confident?"

Huo Feng turned to look at Chen Ruonan, "Is that how you usually behave at school, only socializing with students who have power and advantages? I’m very curious, what kind of education fosters such a condescending attitude in you? Does your father usually tell you to go out and boast, ’My dad is some big leader, you can be as arrogant as you want, and dad will fix everything’?"

"No! I don’t act like that at all!"

Chen Ruonan’s face turned red and then white from the insults by Huo Feng and Wen Miao. With the emotions running high and chaotic due to the many onlookers, she burst out, "I just look down on your promiscuity! My sister treats you so well, but you’re out here mixing with random girls... You pick up any woman, without considering your status, or whether your dad approves or not!"

After she finished speaking, Chen Ruonan’s head was once again pushed down by Huo Feng!

It was another unexpected move, a bit more forceful than before, and this time, Chen Ruonan’s head really scraped against the ground!

Luckily, Huo Feng quickly retracted his hand, moving fast enough that the tourists didn’t capture any violent actions...

"Huo Feng! That’s enough!"

Chen Chaonan yelled in fright, his eyes wide with panic, "That’s enough!"

Huo Feng was also afraid that under so many unfamiliar gazes, the situation could escalate too far and end badly, so he directly asked Chen Chaonan, "What’s her screen lock password?"

Chen Chaonan hurriedly answered, "Six sixes..."

Huo Feng took the chance to unlock the screen, swiftly flicking through several private apps...

Chen Ruonan lay on the ground, her face filled with fear, watching Huo Feng frantically fiddling with her phone...

She had no idea what Huo Feng would do on her phone...

"What... what are you trying to do..."

Chen Ruonan pulled back her feet and sat up, her eyes scared as she looked towards Huo Feng...

She really wanted to know what Huo Feng was doing on her phone...

But Huo Feng had no intention of letting her see.

After a series of fierce operations, Huo Feng threw the phone into the swimming pool, smiled at Chen Ruonan revealing a mysterious and enigmatic smirk!

Chen Ruonan looked towards her vanished phone with a gaze full of anguish, quite desperate!

"Brother Feng, Sangzhi and Xiaocao have left!"

Just then, Zhu Dandan suddenly ran over, anxiously informing Huo Feng.

Huo Feng was startled and no longer cared about Chen Ruonan, quickly standing up to chase after them!

Once Huo Feng left, the tense atmosphere dissipated quite a bit...

Chen Chaonan quickly ran up to help Chen Ruonan up from the ground. At that point, Chen Ruonan had no time left for tears and worry. Concerned about her phone, she hastened to the edge of the swimming pool, looking down into it...

"Um... Has anyone seen my phone?" Chen Ruonan hastily asked the tourists.

But just as she finished asking, she suddenly felt a force on her back, pushing her straight into the pool!

"Splash—" With a loud noise and a brief shriek, Chen Ruonan tumbled into the water clumsily!

The incident happened so suddenly that no one noticed Yan Siyuan pushing Chen Ruonan from behind just moments earlier!

And without the crowd noticing, he also jumped into the pool...

As Chen Ruonan was panicking and choking on water, her phone lying at the bottom of the pool had already been picked up by Yan Siyuan...
