Chapter 544: Chapter 544
Just as three men gathered at Lin Qianqian’s front door, Huo Feng stepped back two paces and returned to Pu Sangzhi’s doorstep.
At that time, Huo Feng stood at her front door while Pu Sangzhi was still inside her home.
Turning his head, Huo Feng saw Pu Sangzhi hurrying toward him; he clenched his teeth, steeled his heart, and promptly closed her door!
From within the house, came Pu Sangzhi’s anxious voice calling for him.
Huo Feng pretended not to hear!
He pulled out a key from his pocket.
Earlier, while he was covering for Chen Huifen at the factory, Pu Sangzhi had opened her door for him, entrusted the key to him, and asked him to let himself in when he returned.
Fortunately, Pu Sangzhi’s door had two locks!
When Huo Feng found one of the door locks had been tampered with, thankfully, there was still another lock that could be fastened!
Thus, Huo Feng deftly locked Pu Sangzhi’s door!
Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen were then locked inside their home...
Only Huo Feng stood alone at the front door, seemingly about to face those three imposing brutes...
The neighbors who had been gathering at Pu Sangzhi’s door now saw Huo Feng draw the three brutes out from her house.
At this moment, all the neighbors had stealthily dispersed! All hurried back into their own homes and locked their doors! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
Sometimes, people can be this pragmatic.
Each household only worries about the snow on their own doorstep, regardless of what happens to others...
So at this moment, the alley seemed to be cleared once again...
In the alley, the sight everyone could see was just the three brutes at Lin Qianqian’s front door, and Huo Feng at Pu Sangzhi’s.
"Huo Feng! Huo Feng, you bastard, open the door!"
Pu Sangzhi opened the kitchen window, leaning out anxiously from it to call for Huo Feng.
Outside the kitchen window, wrapped in solid iron bars, even though Pu Sangzhi had stuck out her head, her head was still within the bars, completely stuck.
At this very moment, Pu Sangzhi might as well have been locked in by Huo Feng.
With such a clumsy method, Huo Feng protected the mother and daughter inside the home, driving Pu Sangzhi to desperation!
The three brutes failed to break down Lin Qianqian’s door, turned around with angry faces, and fixed their furious gazes on Huo Feng!
At this moment, Huo Feng appeared to be on the verge of a cornered beast’s last stand...
With his slim and tall build, facing a single one of those brutes, he might not have had a chance to win.
Let alone with three in front of him...
"Sangzhi, pull your head back in."
Huo Feng took a deep breath, calling out to Pu Sangzhi with a grave tone.
Pu Sangzhi naturally wouldn’t listen to him; she even stretched out her hand, grabbing the iron bars, yelling loudly, "Give me the key back! Hurry up and open the door! Do you understand, open the door!"
Huo Feng turned to look at her, his eyes resolute as if he were ready to meet his end, and replied, "Call the police, close the window; the scenes to follow are not suitable for children."
Pu Sangzhi’s eyes reddened in urgency, her nose tingling with distress, "Open the door, give me back the key, Huo Feng don’t do this..."
Pu Sangzhi was truly frantic, fearful, and helpless.
But she had no options whatsoever!
Because Huo Feng was no longer paying attention to her.
Huo Feng turned away, focusing all his attention on the three brutes in front of him.
The three brutes looked at Huo Feng as if he were nothing but an ant.
They were men of the world, while Huo Feng still had an air of a student about him.
Those men didn’t take Huo Feng seriously at all!
Coming up to Huo Feng with tyrannical posturing, the stout man in the middle raised his hefty hand onto Huo Feng’s shoulder, speaking arrogantly, "Kid, we don’t fight with minors. Just let that girl open the door, hand over the property deed to me, mind your business, and I’ll let you off the hook."
Until now, the man had still been relatively reasonable.
They just wanted to intimidate Huo Feng and didn’t actually want to get rough with the young man.
But Huo Feng would not comply as they wished, "The property deed isn’t yours. You cannot bully any of the women inside. I’ve already called the police. If you know what’s good for you, get lost quickly, or it will be embarrassing to be caught and put in the police station."
After hearing Huo Feng’s words, the three burly men exchanged glances and actually started to chuckle.
The one of average height among them was named Luo Wu. He spoke only to the burly man known as Fatty, "Fatty, are we afraid of the cops?"
"We’re not scared even if the cops come, we haven’t done anything illegal."
The man called Fatty shook his flabby body and continued to wave his hand at Huo Feng, "We are just collecting debts. It’s only right to repay what you owe. Those two girls inside are deadbeats. Do you know what a deadbeat is? It’s someone who borrows money and feels perfectly fine living their life without paying it back! I haven’t bullied them, just asking for the money. You better step aside, or else, I really might have to get physical."
The men spoke with an out-of-town accent, and one could tell at a glance that they were no good.
Even their white shirts couldn’t hide the tattoos on their bodies...
Huo Feng calculated in his mind, hoping that once the police arrived, they might dodge this bullet.
He had to drag out the time...
"That property deed isn’t ours!"
Pu Sangzhi shouted from the window, "Taking that property deed is useless, you can’t sell it! My mom and I really have no money, and the debtor isn’t us!"
"You still say you have no money!"
Fatty pointed a finger fiercely at her, "Don’t take me for a fool, we have checked everything! This house belonged to your grandmother, and she’s long gone! You and your mom live here, so doesn’t that make the house yours? Hurry up and sell the house to pay off some of the debt! I refuse to believe that you have money to pay others for errands but no money to repay debts!"
"If she says they have no money, they have no money."
Huo Feng stepped forward to block Pu Sangzhi, shielding her with his body.
"Huo Feng, get out of the way. Open the door for me! Stop meddling in our family business!"
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi really wanted to push Huo Feng away, dreading that he might start a fight with them and get beaten half to death...
Although she wanted to rely on Huo Feng, she truly couldn’t drag him down with her.
Their family’s affairs were such that it was best if nobody got involved! Because it wasn’t something that could be managed by just anyone!
"Shrink your head back in."
Huo Feng retorted, and at the same time spoke to the three burly men in front, "Today, I will not let you get that property deed, nor will I let you harm a single hair on their mother and daughter’s heads. They weren’t the ones who borrowed the money, so what’s the point of pressuring them? Have the guts to find the real debtor! Bullying the weak , you sure have the cheek!"
The burly men glanced at each other again, and seeing that Huo Feng was not complying, Fatty immediately lost his temper.
"I’m giving you some color, and you’re opening up a dye shop, huh!"
Fatty stepped forward, his thick palm slapping Huo Feng’s chest with such force that Huo Feng stumbled two steps backwards!
"Stop playing the tragic hero over there! Repaying debts is the natural order of things! Holding onto a property but refusing to repay debt! You’re trying to claim the high ground!"
Pu Sangzhi saw Huo Feng getting pushed and, panic-stricken, her face changed drastically, "Huo Feng, you should leave! Stop worrying about our family’s business, it has nothing to do with you, go away!"
"Bring out the property deed already! Have you had enough of playing the victim?"
Fatty aggressively pointed his plump finger at Pu Sangzhi, and it looked like his hand was about to reach through the railing to grab her!
Just then, Huo Feng suddenly lunged forward, his head ramming into Fatty’s chest with force!
With his own strength considerable, the impact sent Fatty stumbling back several steps.
His obese body shook, and ultimately, unable to keep his balance, he fell on his rear with a thud!
Nobody expected Huo Feng to fight back!
At that moment, the volatile temperaments of the burly men were instantly triggered!
"You little punk! I’ll beat you to death!"
Fatty, sitting on the ground, was the first to lose it.
On his command, Luo Wu, who was closest to Huo Feng, reached out to seize him!
But Huo Feng quickly dodged to the side, nimbly avoiding Luo Wu’s hands!
Moreover, he kicked at Luo Wu’s leg!
This sudden counterattack caught Luo Wu off guard and he tripped, his knee slamming to the ground!
From the moment Huo Feng took a swing, the burly men could no longer control their anger!
Originally, they had intended to spare Huo Feng since he was unrelated to the matter.
But now it seemed that Huo Feng was asking for trouble!
The three intimidating men weren’t going to let him off the hook so easily anymore!
Right at the doorstep of Pu Sangzhi’s home, Huo Feng engaged in a direct confrontation with the three of them!
