Young people of this age find it hardest to accept being rejected on the spot. So they all rushed over and surrounded Zhang Renfeng and Xiaomei.

A murmur of discussion arose among the herdsmen, but the wolf claw scars on Xiaomei's face were more noticeable than her skin. No matter how much she didn't want to listen, these whispers still reached her ears like the wind.

Xiao Mei's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to hide behind Zhang Renfeng, but he grabbed her right hand.

"..."

A warm sense of strength was conveyed to the girl's heart through the clasping of hands.

She composed herself, finally regained her courage, straightened her back, and met the gazes of those who were spying on her.

"Ha, you yellow-skinned barbarian, you've got quite the nerve!"

The shepherd in front of him squinted and introduced in a very proud tone, “McG’s brother once served under the Southern Army Rangers. His riding skills were taught by his brother. Rick was the runner-up in last year’s Lantern Festival Outer City Horse Race and is the best horse trainer here.”

"What, are you implying that you know more than they do?"

"..." Zhang Renfeng was filled with mixed feelings and smiled helplessly.

He had already witnessed the skill level of the Southern Rangers firsthand in Meteora's hands. Their true strength lay in their ability to charge as a unified force. Only when the Rangers acted as a cohesive unit could they unleash their full power in a single charge.

As for the horse racer, forget about him. Being able to ride a horse faster doesn't mean you can perform various maneuvers on horseback and knock your opponent off; those are two completely different things. But he had no intention of arguing anymore. At this moment, faced with the provocation of these young people, he began to consider in his mind whether his fists or dollars would be more convincing.

……

"Thump—!!"

Wood chips flew everywhere.

Just as he was hesitating, a loud crash came from his side, and a huge creature smashed through the wooden fence and rushed out—it was a giant Angus bull!

When kept in a pen, it's not noticeable.

Only when it smashes through the wooden fence, unleashing its fury, and rushes outside can one truly appreciate the sheer size of this monster—its muscles bulging, its back hunched, and its limbs as thick as tree trunks. Its fur is dark brown, with a dark stripe running down its back.

There was a brief silence, and then someone cried out as the Angus bull pawed at the ground and snorted angrily.

Several herdsmen had already been knocked to the ground, their legs broken, bleeding profusely, and screaming in agony.

……

"ah---!!"

For this enormous creature, the screams of humans only fueled its ferocity. It took four steps, landing heavily on the ground, and charged straight at the crowd! The herdsmen immediately scattered in terror, and the two "knights" who had just been dueling also changed color. The taller one even fell off his horse.

In the midst of the chaos, the Angus bull charged into the crowd, using its majestic horns with spiral patterns at the base to toss people up and throw them into the air, like a grand fireworks display!

Those bloodshot, red, alert, and hostile eyes swept through the crowd and landed on Zhang Renfeng.

“…Oh?” Zhang Renfeng noticed that its skin was covered with old scars, its ear tips were torn, and even its nasal septum was torn and deformed. He immediately understood.

"Is it a bullfighting bull?"

Its size was significantly larger than that of ordinary dairy or beef cattle, certainly placing it outside the typical category. Furthermore, domesticated cattle are generally more docile by nature and wouldn't exhibit such violent behavior. Its scarred body clearly indicated that this bull was extremely aggressive. Its battles with other fighting bulls became a pastime for wealthy young men when they were bored.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of a formidable opponent, after defeating several appetizers, it raised its horns and charged straight at Zhang Renfeng!

"Thump—!!"

With angry snorting, the two collided violently, sending dirt flying and producing a terrifying bang.

The horn struck Zhang Renfeng's chest heavily, making a sound like it was hitting rocks. His upper body remained still, but his legs were deeply embedded in the soil. Due to the difference in weight, he was pushed and moved several meters.

Zhang Renfeng's expression remained relatively calm, but he pressed his hands against his horns, his muscles taut and hard, and with a forceful push, he pressed down hard!

The two forces canceled each other out. Faced with the enormous difference in mass, Zhang Renfeng relied on his superhuman strength to gradually turn the tide. The bull tried to repeat its previous tactic, raising its neck and using its horns to knock him away, but those two usually invincible horns were rendered useless against Zhang Renfeng's body, instead becoming a point of pressure for him.

----

"Is that all?" Sensing the power emanating from the horns gradually weakening, Zhang Renfeng leaned close to the bull's head and chuckled, "Unfortunately, if I hadn't fought a North American bison before, you might have been alright, but now..."

He suddenly released his horns, spread his wings like a roc, and used his arms to wrap around the bull's neck.

With a firm stance, he suddenly tilted his upper body and slammed heavily to the ground!

"boom----!!"

The bull landed headfirst.

Saturn is flying around!

"Still too inexperienced."

Chapter 610: A Girl Who Loves Beauty

Through this slam, Zhang Renfeng roughly estimated that the bull's shoulder height was between 1.6 and 1.8 meters, and its weight should be around 900 kilograms. Even among bulls, it's a behemoth, no wonder it's so aggressive. A bull of average weight wouldn't stand a chance against it, as evidenced by its many scars.

This weight is still within his tolerance limit; he could easily lift it up and then slam it to the ground.

But then he thought that this method seemed too ostentatious, just to show off his superhuman strength. So he pretended that the fall had exhausted most of his strength, his legs gave way, and he easily climbed back onto the ox's back.

With legs as strong as iron, he gripped the bull's belly tightly, held its fur with both hands, and lay firmly on its back—this is basically the process by which humans tame any rideable animal: mount it, use the weight of your body to exhaust its energy, and force it to submit.

Not to be outdone, the bull, like a horse, kicked wildly and ran like mad, trying to shake him off. But Zhang Renfeng's legs seemed rooted to the bull, and he couldn't shake them off no matter what he did.

He secretly exerted force, pulling on the bull's horns, causing it to run wildly around the field, kicking up dust. He was using the horns as a steering wheel. Zhang Renfeng deliberately avoided the crowd. This contest between man and beast lasted for more than five minutes.

The herdsmen present also witnessed this scene and were completely stunned.

Even here, this fighting bull is considered a stubborn rebel. In order to maintain its wildness and lethality, they deliberately do not keep it under control, and incidents of it injuring people occur from time to time.

But it has always been the one that hurts people; I have never been in a situation like this, where I am being taught a lesson by another powerful force.

"Whoa! Whoa~~~~"

Zhang Renfeng let out a soft whistle, rode the bull around once, and returned it to its original spot. The bull drooped its head, finally ceasing its struggles and becoming meek and submissive. Its stubbornness had subsided, and the wildness in its eyes slowly faded, becoming clear.

"Alright, I've tamed this ox for you." Zhang Renfeng dismounted with the ease of riding a horse, dusted off his hands, and looked at the crowd. "I don't ask for anything else, just let us see Jenny, say a few words, and we'll leave right away."

……

"Both of you."

The girl who had been standing in the crowd finally stepped forward after being shocked by this series of unexpected events. She gently waved to him and Xiaomei, saying, "You've done the ranch a great favor. Please come with me."

"The rest of you have all worked hard today, so let's call it a day. I already have the candidates in mind." She turned around and said softly, in a tone that was both authoritative and firm, "Help those who are injured bandage up, and then everyone can go home."

----

While it wasn't quite true luxury, this three-story mansion with its pointed roof was already quite impressive, and there were even a few servants waiting inside. The young woman walked past them, simply stating, "These are my guests," without even glancing at them.

After walking down the corridor and pushing open one of the doors, the girl finally arrived at a relatively private room. After checking her surroundings, she turned around, clasped her hands together, and scrutinized the two people before asking, "...Is it really Finney who sent you to find me?"

Perhaps because of the makeup, Zhang Renfeng couldn't find many similarities between her and Fenny on her face.

Beneath thick, ebony-colored eyelashes rested a pair of hazel eyes, the corners deliberately elongated with charred willow branches. Her lips were full and naturally plump, like ripe plums, and her waist-length black hair was braided into a fashionable "Parisian waterfall braid." This hairstyle required considerable time to maintain, and it was obvious that servants were responsible for its care.

Her nape was sun-tanned honey brown, forming a somewhat jarring dividing line with the pale skin of her chest, which was powdered with lead.

The young woman wore a "court-style" taffeta dress, with gold tassels sewn along the hem and peacock feathers adorning the back waist. Even with such heavy clothing, her full hips could not be concealed. A stunning ruby ​​necklace adorned her chest, its beauty complementing the pearls strung on her lace gloves, creating an exceptionally luxurious look.

Despite her elaborate attire, years of physical labor on the ranch had left indelible marks on her body. These marks convinced Zhang Renfeng that the seemingly adorned young woman before him and the "sister" Fenny had spoken of were indeed the same person.

……

“Um… Miss Jenny…” Xiaomei took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, “So, everything in Mr. Henry’s letter is true? You really are his… lover?”

“That’s not quite accurate.” Jenny sat down and took off her pearl-embellished lace gloves, revealing a pair of hands that were clearly used for rough work, with somewhat flattened fingers. She said frankly, “I’m his lover—that’s a more accurate way to put it.”

"Love..." Xiaomei had actually expected this answer, but she didn't expect the other party to say it in such a nonchalant tone.

Finney is only 13 years old, so the girl in front of him probably isn't much older either.

Watching a girl her own age sit in front of the mirror at her dressing table, calmly admitting that she was someone's mistress, Xiaomei felt her worldview subtly shaken. For a moment, her thoughts went blank, and she was speechless.

"Honestly, what are you thinking?" Jenny touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, speaking calmly, "It took a lot of effort for someone like me to become his mistress. Before his interest wears off, I have to seize every opportunity; I really don't have time to deal with him anymore. Please pass on a message to him, just say..."

“This afternoon, your brother almost died,” Zhang Renfeng suddenly said.

The hand that was drawing her eyebrows hovered in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, Jenny's astonished expression could be seen. She stood frozen in front of the mirror for a long time, motionless, as if digesting the information and the enormous amount of information it brought her.

……

"Liar." Her shoulders trembled slightly, but only those two words escaped her lips.

“We didn’t lie to you, Miss Jenny, it’s all because of this letter!” Xiaomei took out the letter Henry had left behind and explained, “It’s like this…”

----

She omitted the fact that she and Zhang Renfeng were also strolling around the Haisen family mansion at the time of the incident, instead claiming they were just playing in the neighborhood. She then gave a brief account of the entire incident, throughout which Jenny maintained one consistent posture.

For the first few seconds, she seemed to want to finish her makeup, but as she listened, her wrists began to tremble uncontrollably and wouldn't obey her commands at all.

……

"...If we hadn't happened to be passing by, your brother would probably already be..."

He died in a garbage dump.

Finally, they were dragged to the wilderness and dumped anywhere, where they were eaten beyond recognition by wolves and vultures, as if they had never existed.

Jenny trembled slightly, but she immediately covered her mouth, biting her lip so she wouldn't cry.

Tears will ruin the finished foundation.

Chapter 611: The Person in My Dreams

"call……"

Jenny finally put down everything she was holding, took a deep breath, and steadied the trembling in her voice, "Thank you, you saved my brother, thank you..."

"I don't have much savings right now, but once I've made something of myself, I'll definitely convert this kindness into US dollars and return it to you all. I promise!"

She spoke through gritted teeth, her voice filled with self-loathing, as if she were ready to risk everything.

"Money or not, to be frank, I don't care," Zhang Renfeng said in a deep voice. "But, having been entrusted with a task, I cannot be disloyal. We only agreed to come because we felt sorry for your brother. If you want us to go back empty-handed without getting anything out of him, wouldn't that make your brother even more worried?"

……

Jenny sighed softly.

With this connection established, she was no longer as hostile as she had been when she first faced the two of them. They finally heard from Jenny the whole story of how she and Henry met.

Behind every coincidence lies astonishing calculation and planning, often initiated well in advance.

Jenny had found out Henry's schedule beforehand. Her job here was to look after the horses. When the young master needed to go hunting on horseback, she would lead the horses from the stables. Beforehand, she had prepared a drug that could quickly make the horses faint. She controlled the dosage so that the injection would take effect just as the horse was led to him.

The horse fainted, rolled to one side, and pinned her down.

……

"Wait a minute?" Zhang Renfeng raised an eyebrow. "So, to set up this scheme, you really let Ma be the one to back it up?!"

“How could it be fake?” Jenny sighed. “It has to be real, otherwise it’s meaningless. I originally planned to only let the horse’s body press down on my legs, but you can’t rehearse something like that beforehand. As a result, half of my body was pressed down, and I went numb right away.”

“Sister Jenny, you’re so brave…” Xiaomei broke out in a cold sweat. “If this kind of thing goes wrong, you could be paralyzed and never be able to walk again!”

Jenny's eyes showed lingering fear, but she forced a smile and said, "But we made it through, didn't we?"

……

Looking back now, the peril of this plan was no different from gambling with one's life.

Who can guarantee that this pressure won't hit a vital spot and squeeze out her internal organs? Who can guarantee that Henry will feel pity for her after seeing her injury? Even if there is a little pity, will it translate into action? And even if it does, will she be able to seize the opportunity to transform that pity into affection for her during their limited time together?

Jenny cannot guarantee these things, which is the tragedy of those in lower positions.

She wanted to scheme against Henry, but her own circumstances were too low, and she didn't even have the chance to see Henry many times.

Even if she had done everything she could to the best of her ability, Henry could still escape her trap with just a thought, and all her suffering would have been for nothing.

With only a pair of 2s in her hand, Jenny went all in.

She was right.

After one or two interactions, she gradually figured out Henry's personality and temperament, and their relationship warmed up day by day. Under the guise of visiting, Henry often came to see her to vent his physical and emotional needs, and in return, he gave her generous material things.

She wasn't a gentle and kind person, at least she didn't think so, but as long as Henry thought she was, it would be fine.

----

“That’s how it is.” Jenny pointed to the room. “Everything you see came about this way.”
