Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

After leaving Jiang Xueying, Li Xiaofeng began preparing for this matter.

He first bought a few bottles of pepper spray. If he couldn't beat them, he could at least outsmart them. Why bother with martial ethics with those thugs? Survival was the priority!

Next, he bought several short sticks and placed them near the car doors and trunk so he could easily pull them out at any time.

A short stick is just a wooden stick; you can keep it in your car for self-defense, and even if the police find it, they can't say anything.

I said, "This is a rolling pin I bought, so what?"

Any questions?

Finally, he went to the computer mall and bought several voice recorders.

As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, you have to borrow their power—the power of the police, the power of the law. Anyway, he's not short of money, and he has the time and energy to keep going. He doesn't have the concerns of people from the lower class.

So what if the Cao family was involved in organized crime before? In this day and age, good will always prevail over evil.

Although some underhanded tactics still exist, in a big city like Shanghai, no one dares to act recklessly in public matters.

Back in the dormitory, Cao Jinpeng was surprised to see that Li Xiaofeng was unharmed. After looking him up and down, his face darkened.

"What's wrong, Boss Cao? Are you surprised that I didn't get beaten up?"

Originally, Li Xiaofeng was 80% certain about his analysis of the matter, but now, seeing Cao Jinpeng's appearance, he's 100% certain.

"What are you saying? I don't understand!"

Li Xiaofeng looked at him with disdain and said, "No wonder Jiang Xueying doesn't like you! You're sneaking around and you don't dare to admit it. You're not even a man. It's normal that she doesn't like you!"

Cheng Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "Third brother, what's wrong?"

"This morning, three thugs pretended to be migrant workers collecting debts and tried to beat me up, but I managed to shake them off!"

"Are you OK!"

"It's nothing, not a single hair is missing!"

Li Xiaofeng turned to Cao Jinpeng and said, "Cao Jinpeng, you're something else! You can't beat me head-on, so you resort to underhanded tactics. Xueying has already said that he despises you and that you're not a real man!"

"You're talking nonsense! Xueying would never say that about me!"

"Why is it impossible? Xueying likes a real man. A real man is someone who dares to take responsibility. Right now, there are only a few of us in the dorm. We all know each other well. What are you pretending for!"

"To tell you the truth, I recognized those three thugs. They're one of Brother Long's men. I've seen them several times. And Brother Long is one of your men. How dare you deny it?"

Cao Jinpeng remained silent and did not speak.

Lu Zhendong, who was standing to the side, glanced at him with some surprise but did not say anything.

Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at him calmly, then went to make his own bed.

Li Xiaofeng had his own agenda and didn't expect his two roommates to stand up for him.

Justice is always something you have to fight for!

So he continued to press Cao Jinpeng, putting on a smug look and saying, "Xueying also said that she apologized to me on your behalf for this matter and said she would compensate me!"

This is what they call "misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune." With Xueying's compensation, even if I really got beaten up by those thugs, it would be worth it!

Cao Jinpeng gritted his teeth and thought for a while before saying resentfully, "Li Xiaofeng, how about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

"Will you let me go as long as you break up with Xueying?"

"Let me go? What do you mean by letting me go? To be more specific, you don't mean you'll let me go if you don't argue with me when we get back to the dorm!"

"What I mean is, as long as you break up with Xueying now, I won't let Along and the others continue to harm you. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves, how about that?"

Well, that's exactly what I was waiting for!

This statement confirms Cao Jinpeng's illegal act of instigating others to commit crimes, which is enough to make him regret his actions.

However, in order to create a more favorable situation for himself in the future, Li Xiaofeng wanted to increase his investment further.

He deliberately laughed loudly a few times and said irritably, "Cao Jinpeng, you should let that Brother Long do the dirty work on me. I'm a man. If I let someone scare me a few times and then happily break up with my woman, would I still be a man?"

"Do you think I'm like you, hanging out with that Xia Anna, giving her three thousand yuan every time? You know that's considered prostitution, which is illegal!"

"It's none of your business what I do. I'm happy to do it, and it's so convenient that I only pay once a time. I can play whenever I want and leave whenever I don't want to. It may seem like it costs a lot of money, but it's actually more cost-effective than a monthly subscription!"

OK, an unexpected bonus: he added another charge against himself.

The crime of PC is not serious, but it is enough to get you expelled from school. Moreover, wealthy people care about their image, and having such a stain on their record may be something they can never wash away for the rest of their lives.

This thing is enough to control Cao Jinpeng.

What if things escalate and the adults of the Cao family come out?

Li Xiaofeng believes that it is highly likely that the two sides will sit down and talk, and then reach a settlement.

As far as he knew, the Cao family had finally managed to clear their name and certainly didn't want to go back to their old ways. After all, with the Cao family's current size, there were bound to be many people watching them from behind.

Li Xiaofeng, a nobody like him, is like a fish out of water when facing the Cao family.

Without sufficient incentive, the Cao family is unlikely to do anything to him.

If they really wanted to deal with him, then Li Xiaofeng would go all out. After all, he had made a profit in this life, and he was mentally prepared for it.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng sneered and said, "Cao Jinpeng, Jiang Xueying and I are in a normal relationship. If you have the ability, then go after her. We'll have two families vying for her hand in marriage, and we'll compete fairly!"

What kind of skill is it to play such underhanded tricks behind people's backs? Do you really think your family is the mafia? If you're so capable, then rely on yourself. What kind of skill is it to rely on your family?

"If it weren't for your family backing you up, do you think Brother Long would obediently listen to you? Don't dream about it. Brother Long even beat you up before just to steal a woman from you!"

Li Xiaofeng planned to guide Cao Jinpeng to add more information and implicate the Cao family as well.

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Cao Jinpeng said smugly, "So what if you rely on your family? Having a good family background is also a skill; it's because I was born into a good family!"

Don't worry about what methods I used, now that Ah Long is obediently listening to me. He has to do whatever I tell him to do, otherwise he won't be able to survive in Shanghai!

You want me to fight you? No way! You're being ungrateful. You won't take a chance. If you're so tough, don't even leave the school gates.

"You better watch out once you step out of the school gates. I'll beat you every time I see you, and then you'll be begging me on your knees!"

Li Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, "You're awesome, you're really awesome. Judging from your tone, your family controls the underworld in Shanghai, right? As soon as you leave the school gate, there are your family's spies everywhere, your family's people everywhere, right!"

"So, according to you, there's no law in this dignified city of Shanghai anymore, and nobody can control your Cao family, is that it?"
