Chapter 1078 The Consequences of Impulsiveness

Lin Feng sat in the chair, pondering the pros and cons.

Duan Jingqiu knelt before him, his eyes darting around, observing Lin Feng's changing expression.

"Mr. Mukawa, you kissed her on the lips. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you ruined her reputation, would it?"

Duan Jingqiu's words startled Lin Feng from his dream.

"Hey, I've told you so many times, it was to save your life, not on purpose."

Lin Feng was somewhat displeased, as he had explained the situation repeatedly.

Duan Jingqiu said slowly and deliberately.

"Of course, Third Sister believes what you say, sir. However, Third Sister cannot control what others think. If this matter gets out, Third Sister's innocence will still be ruined."

"How could it have gotten out? Who would spread it?"

Lin Feng was getting a little anxious.

Seeing that Lin Feng was getting impatient, Duan Jingqiu felt even more smug.

"There must have been more than one person there. The thoughts of those bandits were incredibly despicable. Would they ever think of anything positive about it?"

Lin Feng opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Indeed, they were a group of bandits. Even if they believed they were rescuing people, how could their actions not lead people to think the wrong thing?

Duan Jingqiu felt smug. Judging from the man's expression, he must be a man with a conscience; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to control him in this matter.

"Third Sister is now Mr. Muchuan's woman. If you don't help her, although Third Sister's death is not a pity, Mr. Muchuan is a big shot. If word gets out, people will laugh at him. He can't even protect his own woman..."

"Hey, hey, stop, stop! What do you mean you're my woman? Shouldn't I have saved your life back then?"

Lin Feng quickly stopped Duan Jingqiu and tried his best to explain.

Duan Jingqiu covered his face and wept helplessly.

"Mr. Muchuan, you cannot abandon me after starting something so simple. Although I am unworthy of you, I am a respectable woman from a good family. I do not seek wealth or glory, but only wish to share a life with you..."

Lin Feng grew impatient and waved his hand, shouting.

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense. If you say another word, I'm getting up and leaving."

"This servant dares not do it again."

Duan Jingqiu immediately bowed his head and touched the ground with his forehead, not daring to utter another sound.

Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

Have I fallen into a trap?

How could someone say such a thing in a fit of anger?

This was something that had never happened before, and Lin Feng knew his own temperament very well.

That would be considered the skill of a master who remains unmoved even if Mount Tai collapses before him, and whose eyes do not blink even if a deer runs past on his left.

But now, the broken sword has turned him into someone who acts impulsively and gets bloodshot at the slightest provocation. You could say he'll break down at the slightest sign of trouble.

At this moment, they were completely controlled by Duan Jingqiu, a business genius, with his words.

Having finally managed to suppress his impulse, Lin Feng calmed his breathing and quieted down.

"Although we haven't spent much time together, I can't deny that I don't dislike you. I especially admire your talent in business, which is particularly valuable for a woman."

"Mr. Kikawa, you flatter me."

Duan Jingqiu became gentle and virtuous at this time.

Lin Feng sighed: "I have a lot of trouble, and it's a lot... a lot that your Duan family definitely can't afford. If you're not afraid of getting into trouble, I might be able to lend you a hand in secret."

“Jingqiu has died twice already, so why would he be afraid of trouble? Mr. Muchuan, we’re family now.”

Lin Feng gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Hey, get up and talk. Tell me in detail about the Duan family."

Duan Jingqiu was very excited, having finally persuaded Lin Feng, and felt much more at ease.

Having been in business for many years, she knows that the more difficult a deal is to close, the greater the profit often will be. Overcoming difficulties and achieving her goals is a game she enjoys immensely.

Duan Jingqiu got up and sat down next to Lin Feng, clapping his hands.

Immediately, a maidservant strode in from outside the door.

"Go and brew a pot of tea, and tell the housekeeper to get the best."

The maid bowed, then turned and walked out.

Duan Jingqiu pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and began to tell Lin Feng about the entire situation of the Duan family.

Song Chen, the leader of the Thirteen Horse Gang, was known in the martial arts world as King Song.

This person is intelligent and resourceful.

Having shed the burdens of Lin Feng and Duan Jingqiu, they immediately sent a signal to gather all the teams of the Thirteen Caravans between Luocheng and Luoxi Prefecture.

A total of seventy-three riders arrived at the dock in Tanggu County on the Yantong River.

Song Chen decided to lead all the brothers of the thirteen caravans across the Yantong River to the Yanxin Prefecture area to temporarily avoid the mad pirates.

His judgment was accurate. The pirates' madness was definitely not caused by their Thirteen Caravans. Therefore, leaving the circle and staying out of it was the right choice.

Look at the people they've offended; a single caravan couldn't possibly handle them.

If things go wrong, all the people you've painstakingly built up could vanish in an instant.

Everyone gathered at the dock, waiting for their brother who had been searching for the boat to return.

With over seventy people and numerous horses, a small boat wouldn't work, and crossing the river separately wouldn't be safe either; they had to find a large enough boat.

Song Chen sat under the only thatched shed on the dock, squinting at the rolling river, feeling somewhat anxious.

It was past noon, why hadn't the people searching for the boat returned yet?

Old Wan took four brothers to find a boat.

Lao Wan is known for his reliability, and only he is capable of handling this kind of external affairs.

Xu Qi stood behind Song Chen, his breathing somewhat unstable.

"Xu Qi, why are you breathing so heavily for no reason?"

Song Chen could tell he was breathing very uncomfortably.

Xu Qi chuckled immediately.

"Boss, I was just thinking about that Third Sister Duan, she was really beautiful."

"You'd better forget about this. She's not a woman you can lay a finger on. Be careful or someone will chop off your fingers."

Song Chen rebuked in a deep voice.

"Sigh, boss, there's no need to lecture me. I understand, but I'm just a little resentful."

"Your life is more important."

"But it's upsetting that Mu Chuan didn't get the benefit he wanted."

Song Chen sneered: "Whether it's cheap or not is hard to say; it might be a disaster."

Xu Qi was still unwilling to give up, shaking his head and sighing.

"Sigh, boss, you said he's just a doctor, how could he..."

"Stop talking nonsense. It's only because your dog eyes aren't blind that you think Mu Chuan is a doctor."

Song Chen got so angry that he started cursing.

Xu Qi didn't care. The boss scolded him all the time, but only close friends and family members received this treatment.

"Boss, who exactly is this Mu Chuan?"

Song Chen frowned: "Anyway, you and I are experts who are beyond our reach."

"Then why don't we let him join us?"

Xu Qi asked with some regret.

"Xu Qi, go check if Lao Wan is back yet, stop thinking nonsense."

Song Chen knew that Xu Qi was brainless, but this guy was a loyal brother who would go to great lengths for him.

"Hey, boss, calm down, I'll go right away."

Xu Qi turned around and ran out of the thatched shed.

He's not good at much else, but he's fast on his feet.

But as soon as he rushed out of the thatched hut, he saw two men in gray long gowns walking quickly towards him.

Xu Qi was taken aback. He had nearly seventy brothers around him. How could he let two outsiders swagger in?

"You are..."
