MTLNOVEL Chapter 116: Made the Headlines!
"Breaking news! Young Master Han clashed with someone at the seaside and was finally forced to jump into the sea. The Han Family Patriarch personally came to apologize!"
"Cowboy Security single-handedly injured Young Master Han, Young Master Zhou, and Young Master Le, forcing Young Master Pan and Young Master Mu to bow. He left without a trace or name!"
"Who exactly is the mysterious security guard? His presence causes prominent figures to bend their knees! The Han Family Patriarch, Zhou Family Patriarch, Pan Family Patriarch, and Le Family Patriarch all chose to treat him respectfully and to make peace!"
"Even a small security guard can have a comeback; the flower protector resurfaces in the world of martial arts, and his identity sparks widespread speculation!"
...
The incident at the seaside was eventually posted online by a concerned party and spread throughout the WeChat circles of many curious people in Binhai, causing a strong sensation.
Because the people involved in the incident were truly astonishing, locals living in Binhai, especially in South City, knew exactly what those families led by the Han Family represented. Especially the young heirs within each family — they were all super playboys!
"Which security guard pulled off such a satisfying act?"
For a time, people frantically reposted and endlessly speculated.
Of course there were reservations from those who published the news, as no crucial names or places were mentioned, only cryptically referring to a "security guard."
There were plenty of security guards in Binhai. Trying to find the person involved was no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.
"This guy, having a mishap, ended up on the front page!"
In the seaside villa, Zhang Qinyao glanced at Jiang Feng sitting on the sofa, secretly sneering with disdain.
Nangong Qingcheng, Bai Zhiqing, and Liu Shiyuan naturally saw the news as well, but they weren't entertained by it. Instead, they were very worried for Jiang Feng because the more this matter was publicized, the more it was unfavorable for him. Those families' members would eventually lash out in anger!
Fortunately, someone was more anxious than they were. Led by Mu Jianmin, the relevant departments, upon seeing the information circulating online across different channels, immediately ordered it blocked, clearing everyone's WeChat circles quickly.
But that did not stop the gossip from burning fiercely. It was estimated that for a long time in the future, speculation about the so-called "mysterious security guard" would be a hot topic among South City's civilians during their idle times.

"Old Chu!"
Chu Feifei bounced into Chu Renxiong's reception room and was about to speak but noticed Chu Renxiong was inside having tea and chatting with Zhou Rongfa, so she closed her mouth and stuck out her tongue apologetically.
"You little girl are getting more and more unruly. Hurry and greet Uncle Zhou?" Chu Renxiong glared at his daughter, speaking with indulgence.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou!" Chu Feifei said sweetly.
"Hmm," Zhou Rongfa nodded with a smile, full of admiration for Chu Feifei.
"You seem so happy. Why are you looking for me?" Chu Renxiong asked grumpily.
"Dad, thank you!" Chu Feifei walked towards Chu Renxiong with a serious expression, smiling brightly.
"Thank me for what?" Chu Renxiong asked knowingly, but he was well aware that Chu Feifei was most likely here because of Jiang Feng.
"Dad, don't pretend with me! I know you definitely intervened before, so that's why Jiang Feng is safe." As expected, Chu Feifei said with a grin.
"Fei'er, actually, I didn't do anything..."
Chu Renxiong thought about it and decided to speak truthfully. He really hadn't done anything, just spoke some truths to expand his friendships.
Moreover, the more his daughter was happy about this, the more guilty he felt, especially when Chu Feifei mentioned Jiang Feng with joy on her face, making him feel uneasy.
"Hmph, if you won't admit it, never mind. I'll remember this favor, and I'll invite you for dinner later—you and Uncle Zhou continue your chat, I'll be off now!"
After speaking, regardless of what Chu Renxiong might say, Chu Feifei bounced out.
"This girl!" Chu Renxiong shook his head and laughed as he watched his daughter leave.
"Miss Fei'er is getting more beautiful. Sometimes when you think about it, having a daughter is better. Unlike my family's good-for-nothing son, always causing trouble..." Zhou Rongfa deliberately flattered with a smile.
"When daughters grow up, they can't be kept home. Look at how happy she is, wanting to treat her father to dinner for someone else, as if her father is an outsider." Chu Renxiong smiled wryly.
After saying that, he glanced at his watch and said to Zhou Rongfa, "Chairman Zhou, it's getting late. I'll have someone prepare dinner. It's been a long time since we drank together. Let's have a good drink tonight and also invite Mr. Jiang and others."
"Alright." Zhou Rongfa sipped his tea. That was exactly why he stayed, using dinner as an opportunity to mend relations with Jiang Feng, so it would be a worthwhile trip.
...
Meanwhile, in North City, at Jasmine French Restaurant.
Old-fashioned ironwork and heavy dark brown European wooden doors cast a serene glow under the mottled light and shadows, with the orderly wood lattice design of the ceiling turning time back to the medieval period, hiding within the high and long wooden doors an ambiance of nostalgia.
This is a very noble and elegant restaurant in North City, where those dining usually come with considerable wealth.
A limited edition Maybach S pulled up at the restaurant's entrance, and a well-dressed man stepped out of the car. Under the polite greeting of the concierge, he pushed open the restaurant's heavy door.
What unfolded before him was a lavishly styled vast space. The ceiling's luxurious crystal chandeliers refracted dreamlike sparkling lights from every angle. The soft saxophone music filled the restaurant, like an invisible mist spreading, gradually occupying one's mind, making it difficult to feel tension or anger.
French sycamore embellishments made the restaurant even more elegant and added an exotic atmosphere. Every corner of the restaurant was meticulously arranged, with the floor waxed and polished, emitting a faint red glow. The tablecloth bore the restaurant's name, the silverware was engraved with the brand of Tiffany, and the ceramics had the factory name of Haviland.
A white porcelain vase adorned each table, with pink roses blooming beautifully inside, harmoniously matching the elegant surroundings.
The man glanced around at the entrance. Soon, a waiter approached, politely saying, "Sir, you..."
"Thank you, I've already seen the person waiting for me!" the man interrupted before the waiter could finish.
"You're welcome, sir, please!"
Following the man's gaze, the waiter saw the very prominent guest!
It was a lady, seated at the table closest to the window, occasionally lifting her fair wrist to check her watch, seeming very mindful of the time.
As if sensing someone approaching, the woman slowly turned her head, moving gracefully and serenely.
At the same time, the man saw the woman clearly. Her curvaceous body was wrapped in a black mesh dress, cinched with a black tassel at the slender waist. Her figure was graceful, with long beautiful legs unrevealed by stockings, strikingly fair, yet the dress's conservative design added elegance and purity, modestly concealing charm, discreetly sexy yet not offensive.
Her jet-black, enchanting long hair was stylishly draped over her shoulders, complementing her fragrant shoulders and fair skin, featuring a beautiful face with slight makeup, captivatingly beautiful. Especially her pair of bright, mesmerizing eyes that pierced the heart and captivated all!
