Chapter 1272 The more mysterious, the better

"We really don't know what the rules are. Tell us about them."

Lin Feng said lightly.

"Our Hongsheng Escort Agency values ​​seniority and first-come, first-served. When did it become your turn to eat first?"

Meng Yanlong said in a deep voice.

Lin Feng laughed: "Don't try that with me. A proper escort agency should prioritize martial arts. Whoever has the biggest fist gets to eat first. You disagree?"

"That's great, then let me show you whose fist is stronger."

Meng Yanlong knew that his fist was no bigger than Lin Da's, so he decided to compare their hardness.

Lin Feng didn't waste any words and turned to look at Qiao Jushan.

"Lin Da, he wants to see how big your fist is."

Qiao Jushan grinned and chuckled, then reached out and clenched his fist in the air; it was as big as a child's head.

"Who wants to compete with me, Lin Da?"

Meng Yanlong's gaze swept across the faces of his brothers. Those he looked at all lowered their eyes or turned their heads to look elsewhere.

Everyone knows that, just looking at that fist, who would dare to go up and risk their life?

Meng Yanlong cursed inwardly. These guys usually acted all high and mighty, but when it really came down to it, they all chickened out.

There was no other way. As the leader, I couldn't back down. To keep my comfortable life, I had to fight for it.

He slowly stood up and gritted his teeth as he shouted.

"Alright, let's see whose fist is stronger..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin San at the other end of the long table suddenly raise his foot and stomp on the table without warning.

Meng Yanlong never expected that before he could finish his polite words, the other party would make a move.

However, what he didn't expect was that the long table was pushed by a strong force, knocking Meng Yanlong, who hadn't even reacted yet, out of the way.

The height of the long table was just right at Meng Yanlong's thigh. Lin San's kick, which seemed casual, was actually very powerful. One end of the heavy table slammed into Meng Yanlong's thigh.

Meng Yanlong fell, a sharp pain shooting through his groin.

After flying three or five steps, he fell to the ground. Under the glare of the crowd, his face was flushed, his hair was flying, and he mustered all his strength, gritting his teeth, but he could not stand up immediately.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

Meng Yanlong gritted his teeth and strained again, but his thigh was so painful it felt like it was about to break. He didn't know if the bone was broken or not, so he had to sit on the ground for the time being.

Forty or fifty bodyguards and porters gathered in the dining hall, all staring blankly at Meng Yanlong, the once-powerful underworld boss.

Now he was sitting on the ground in a sorry state, clearly unable to stand up.

Many people swallow hard but feel their mouths are dry and they open their mouths to breathe deeply.

The three Lin brothers sneered at Meng Yanlong and then turned to walk out of the dining hall.

Only after the three of them disappeared from the cafeteria entrance did someone run over to help Meng Yanlong up.

Meng Yanlong was so ashamed and indignant that he wished he could bury his head in his crotch.

I'm a well-known figure in the martial arts world, and I'm doing very well. When have I ever suffered such a big loss or lost so much face?

The physical pain may be ignored, but one's pride cannot be ignored.

People in the underworld value loyalty and face.

Most of the time, they are willing to risk their lives for the sake of saving face, even drawing their swords against each other, putting life and death aside.

But Meng Yanlong is no longer the same rascal he used to be. He now has a family and lives a wealthy and comfortable life.

He's no longer that reckless brat who risked his life to fight others.

After a series of twists and turns, as he was being carried towards Doctor Xu, Meng Yanlong suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

At this moment, only by doing so can one escape all reality and find a moment of peace.

Meng Yanlong's sudden unconsciousness shocked everyone in the Hongsheng Escort Agency.

The news spread like wildfire, instantly covering the entire Hongsheng Escort Agency compound.

Meng Yanlong, the mountain leopard, was kicked by Lin San and slammed into the dining table, knocking him unconscious. His fate is unknown.

When many people pass on a message, they do so vividly, making it increasingly bizarre and exaggerated.

By the time the news reached the backyard, it had become completely nonsensical.

Pang Xiuli stared blankly at Sister Hu in front of her, who was gesturing wildly with her face flushed and spittle flying everywhere.

"Young Miss, you have no idea, back then Lin Sanzhi kicked Meng Yanlong, the 'Mountain Leopard,' across the long table in the dining hall and knocked him unconscious..."

Everyone at Hongsheng Escort Agency knows how long the long table used to serve meals to the escorts and porters is; it's made of slightly modified logs, thick and heavy.

It's virtually impossible for an average person to kick a table and then bump into someone.

Forty or fifty people, crammed together to eat, with twenty or more sitting on each side—that would be incredibly far apart.

How could someone be knocked unconscious from such a distance with just one kick?

Did they actually kick the table, or was kicking the table just a cover-up?

Even if the opponent was an ordinary镖师 (bodyguard/escort), with the kick delivered by the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort leader) Pang Jisheng from such a distance, it would be impossible to knock someone unconscious.

It's not easy to even kick them down.

But Sister Hu looked very serious and kept explaining.

"Miss, someone saw that when Lin San raised his leg, a beam of light streaked across the air, and then Meng Yanlong fell down."

Pang Xiuli scratched her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

They're both people who practice martial arts year-round, so how come there's such a big difference?

Sister Hu is also a bodyguard with above-average martial arts skills in the escort agency. How could she listen to other people's nonsense?

"Sister Hu..."

Pang Xiuli had to interrupt her.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, I just heard it from them."

"Do you believe this too?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but that's what everyone says."

Pang Xiuli was speechless, shook her head, and didn't want to say anything more.

In her heart, her father was the most powerful, but she had never seen him with such superb skills. How could a man in his thirties be so powerful?

But Sister Hu took it seriously.

"Young Miss, you don't know, when Lin San was fighting me, I didn't even see his movements clearly before the blade was already pointing at my throat."

"Alright, I know he's good, but I don't believe he can kick someone down from a distance. Instead of just speculating here, let's go and see for ourselves and see for ourselves."

"Alright, Miss, let's go take a look right away."

The two talked for a while, then got up and walked outside.

Meng Yanlong was pretending to be unconscious, but his act made Lin Feng famous, and the news spread far and wide among the people of Hongsheng Escort Agency.

This news even reached outside the escort agency.

Shen Tu Rui hurriedly went to find the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) Pang Jisheng.

"Chief镖头, you have to say something. Don't let people laugh at us for talking such nonsense."

Pang Jisheng was hunched over his desk, examining a map.

Upon hearing this, he didn't even raise his head.

"Let them spread it, the more mysterious the better."

Shen Tu Rui stared in confusion.

"Why...why is this happening?"

"Don't you think about it? What kind of business does a security escort agency do? The bigger the reputation, the better. The more famous the Lin brothers are, the easier our business will be, right?"

"But how could anyone with a modicum of sense in the martial arts world believe such rumors?"

"Believe it or not, it's best to be skeptical. As long as you plant this idea in your heart, it will definitely have some effect in the future."

Pang Jisheng waved his hand to interrupt Shen Tu Rui's continued defense.

"Look, we've taken on a very important job. We need to carefully consider the route and see which path is the best to take."
