Chapter 1181 - 1181: Cheap Brotherhood

From an objective and fair standpoint, Xiao Feng is undoubtedly engaging in sophistry.

But there's no other way. If Qi Guanghe had been more articulate, he wouldn't have had to step in personally.

And now that he's involved, he obviously can't follow the previous line of argument.

That's why Xiao Feng said "let's start from the beginning" and proceeded to systematically overturn Wang Zhiping's previous defenses.

At this moment, it's still just the beginning...

After leaving Lin Bingqiao speechless, Xiao Feng turned his gaze to Wang Zhiping and continued, "Next, let's talk about what happened after you came upstairs.

If you were really just coming up to ask for a seat, it would be fine, but what was the first thing you said after you came up here? Repeat it now."

Wang Zhiping's expression contorted slightly as he said, "You really want to oppose me?"

"I'm asking you to repeat the first thing you said after coming upstairs. Is that really opposing you?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh:

"You don't look that old, surely you haven't completely forgotten what you said just twenty minutes ago?"

At this moment, Ma Digua leaned over behind Wang Zhiping and whispered in his ear, "Brother Wang, should we call for some people?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Bingqiao shot a murderous glance over, causing Ma Digua to shiver and retreat sheepishly.

In fact, just as Xiao Feng had suspected.

Lin Bingqiao had been specially assigned by the Wang Family to stay by Wang Zhiping's side, both to ensure his safety and to monitor him, preventing any major trouble.

And in Lin Bingqiao's view, Ma Digua's suggestion to call for reinforcements was certainly adding fuel to the fire.

If something happens, Wang Zhiping will have to take responsibility.

Of course, she also bears responsibility for monitoring Wang Zhiping.

So, disregarding many things, Lin Bingqiao directly whispered to Wang Zhiping, "Prince, just be soft and apologize to them, stop making trouble!"

"Apologize?" Wang Zhiping shouted angrily, "Are you joking? Why should I apologize?"

"A real man knows when to yield and when to assert themselves. It's not a shame to apologize. With things as they are…"

"Stop, stop, stop! It's always the same talk, aren't you tired of it?"

Seeing that persuasion wasn't working, Lin Bingqiao could only play her trump card: "If you don't listen to me, I'll call your father right away."

"You!" Wang Zhiping was furious, gritting his teeth, but didn't dare say anything overly aggressive.

He knew very well that once Lin Bingqiao made that call, he'd face consequences. At the very least, he'd be grounded, and he wouldn't be able to go out before the New Year.

On one hand, an apology; on the other, being grounded.

Faced with these two options, Wang Zhiping decisively chose to apologize.

He took several deep breaths, trying to adjust his emotions and facial expression, then took two steps forward, cupping his hands to both Pei Dengke and Qi Guanghe with a smile:

"Young Master Qi, Young Master Pei, we all grew up in the same circle. Although there have been conflicts, there's no deep hatred that can't be resolved.

About today…"

At this point, Wang Zhiping paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Today's incident was my fault. I apologize to both of you."

With that, he bowed deeply, showing sincere humility.

Qi Guanghe immediately put on a smile. He was troubled about how to back down, and now that he had a chance, he naturally took it.

"That's sensible enough. At least it didn't lead to…"

"You apologize as easily as you curse. It's as easy as opening and closing your mouth!"

Halfway down the ladder, not having fully come down, Qi Guanghe immediately glared angrily at Xiao Feng.

He genuinely felt the urge to rush over and grab Xiao Feng by the collar and ask: Are you freakin' sick?

The other person quite displeased, of course, was Lin Bingqiao.

Her main reason for instructing Wang Zhiping to apologize was that she sensed something off about Xiao Feng.

This seemingly average-looking man first saw through her "Hand Needle" and then stood out to incite conflict.

Even just these two points were enough to make her suspicious, and for caution's sake, she chose to back down.

But unexpectedly, stepping back wasn't quite possible.

"So you're not planning to accept the apology?" Lin Bingqiao asked angrily, omitting even the "Mr." in her address.

Xiao Feng shook his head in denial: "It's not that I'm not accepting, but we haven't clarified the reason yet.

If you only explain half before apologizing, you might be subject to gossip spreading around later."

Lin Bingqiao suppressed her anger and asked, "So what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Feng smiled slightly, responding with two words: "Be reasonable!"

At this point, Wang Zhiping couldn't hold back any longer and cursed angrily: "You bastard, pushing your luck, huh?

Be reasonable?

Fine!

Then let's talk reasonably!"

Saying this, he grabbed Zhang Chengzai and stormed toward Xiao Feng: "Was it right for us to curse? But was it legal for you to scald people with boiling water?

If my buddy gets disfigured today, can you take responsibility?"

Xiao Feng was waiting for this moment, and he immediately sneered: "Buddy?

This talk of 'buddy' really makes me want to laugh.

You're all about calling each other buddies, but when you saw your buddy's face getting burnt, not even one of you thought to call for help and get him to the hospital right away.

If this is your idea of brotherhood, then this brotherhood seems far too cheap."

"You..." Wang Zhiping suddenly felt speechless, his face flushed as he cried out, "Don't you dare try to sow discord between us!"

Ma Digua and the others also showed anger, because Xiao Feng's "you guys" included them too.

As for Zhang Chengzai, he seemed to wake up from a dream, suddenly realizing the reality.

And then...

His heart shattered into pieces...

Xiao Feng knew the atmosphere was about right, and he only needed to add a spark to set off an explosion, so he said, "In my view, brothers should be fearless for one another!

Take this incident, for example, I poured water on your buddy, and instead of rushing to get him to a hospital, you're leisurely arguing with me—does that make sense?"

The sarcasm in his words could not have been more evident.

And unsurprisingly, someone immediately walked up to Zhang Chengzai, patted his shoulder, and solemnly said: "Watch this, buddy, I'll get revenge for you!"

With that, he threw the teapot directly at Xiao Feng's face.

Lin Bingqiao was furious, wanting to stop it, but it was too late now.

As Xiao Feng watched the teapot fly towards him, he felt secretly pleased, thinking this was the turning point.

Dodging the teapot swiftly, he also threw the teapot with hot water from the table, setting off a full-blown scuffle...

After a brief chaos, Wang Zhiping and his group quickly reacted, grabbing whatever they could and throwing it at Xiao Feng.

However, Xiao Feng wasn't hit once; instead, many of Qi Guanghe's people got hit.

Without waiting for Qi Guanghe's command, everyone spontaneously began fighting back.

All at once, teapots and cups flew everywhere, screams and curses mixed together in a cacophony!
