Tu Liguo smiled slightly, sitting there with an air of calmness, not answering He Chunqing's question.

After a moment, he leisurely asked, "Chunqing, you've indeed achieved remarkable success now, but you're still young, and there's a long road ahead!"

Tu Liguo's meaning was clear.

Right now, Ye Feng might seem down and out, but there's still a long way to go. In the future, he might just be someone you look up to.

"Teacher, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Seeing that Tu Liguo was unwilling to engage with him, He Chunqing turned to Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, if I were you, I definitely wouldn't attend this class reunion. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

"Exactly, not to mention anything else, even this table of dishes here, even if he finds a job now, he wouldn't be able to afford it after working for a year."

Fu Hai chimed in from the side.

Many people nodded in agreement.

This society isn't kind to those with a criminal record, like Ye Feng, who has been to prison.

Even if he returns to society, he'll be marginalized everywhere, and finding a job won't be easy.

He can only find some hard labor jobs, and there's no way to rise above that.

"He Chunqing, where do you get the nerve to talk to me like that?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly, staring at He Chunqing.

After all, Ye Feng had been in the business world for many years, leading talented individuals like Zheng Guozhong and Li Song.

Though his smile was gentle, there was a natural aura of authority about him.

Under Ye Feng's intense gaze, He Chunqing inexplicably felt a bit guilty, and his momentum weakened instantly.

His proud Qi Refining skills vanished in that moment.

But he still forced himself to remain calm, showing no emotion on his face, "Ye Feng, you're still so arrogant."

Then he changed the subject, "If you really can't find a job, I can arrange for you to be a security guard at Liancheng Mall. It's just a word from me."

He Chunqing intended to humiliate Ye Feng with this.

Fu Hai understood He Chunqing's meaning and quickly chimed in, "Chunqing, don't do that. He has a criminal record, and if things go missing in the mall, it won't be good."

"Oh, I forgot about that. After all, he is someone who's been to prison."

He Chunqing slapped his forehead, acting very convincingly.

The two of them were like a comedic duo, continuously mocking Ye Feng.

"You're going too far. After all these years as classmates, is this necessary?"

Ye Feng didn't speak, but Su Weiwei did.

"Even though Ye Feng just got out, he's not as bad as you say."

"No matter how bad he is, he was once worth over a billion and donated ten million to the school to build a teaching building. Can any of you do that?"

Su Weiwei asked loudly.

He Chunqing was left speechless.

Indeed!

No matter how bad Ye Feng is, he was once at a height you couldn't reach.

People at the foot of the mountain mocking a god coming down is truly laughable.

At this moment, He Chunqing no longer had the smug look on his face, his face turning beet red.

If someone else had said this, it might not have been as impactful.

But Su Weiwei was different; she was once the woman he admired most.

Now, his proud achievements were still not a match for Ye Feng in her eyes.

Not only Su Weiwei, but even Mr. Tu was like this, making him feel very embarrassed.

He unusually remained silent, sitting angrily in his chair, not saying a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and no one dared to speak lightly.

After all, Su Weiwei's tone was a bit harsh.

Everyone was watching from the sidelines.

Some felt that Su Weiwei's words weren't without reason.

Some felt that Su Weiwei was ungrateful, actually helping Ye Feng criticize He Chunqing.

He Chunqing's face was already extremely gloomy. If someone else had spoken for Ye Feng, he wouldn't have felt so bad, but it was Su Weiwei.

It made him extremely jealous.

He couldn't understand why, even today, Su Weiwei would still defend a nearly ruined ex-convict.

He Chunqing subtly signaled to Fu Hai, not knowing what he intended to do.

Fu Hai understood and immediately stood up, raising his glass to Ye Feng with a sneer, "Ye Feng, how about we have a drink?"

Ye Feng glanced over, looking at Fu Hai coldly, "Who do you think you are, qualified to drink with me?"

Fu Hai originally intended to provoke Ye Feng according to He Chunqing's plan, to teach him a lesson.

Ye Feng's words played right into his hands, and he feigned anger, "Ye Feng, don't be so shameless!"

With that, he directly splashed the wine in his glass onto Ye Feng's face, drenching him.

Ye Feng laughed; it was the first time he'd seen someone dare to provoke him like this.

Back in the Northwest, how many war gods from enemy nations had met their end at his hands?

No one had ever dared to provoke him so blatantly.

Fu Hai didn't know that he was walking further down the path of self-destruction.

Mr. Tu's face still needed to be respected.

Ye Feng wiped his face with his hand and turned to Tu Liguo, "Teacher, what do you think about this..."

"Go ahead!"

Tu Liguo's two simple words, and he said no more.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately stood up, stepped back from his seat, and grabbed Fu Hai by the collar with one hand.

Seeing this, Fu Hai raised his fist, intending to punch Ye Feng.

Back in high school, he had been beaten by Ye Feng in a one-on-two fight, and he had always felt humiliated.

Now, unable to hold back, he also wanted to take this opportunity to teach Ye Feng a lesson.

But he overestimated his own strength. They couldn't match Ye Feng in business, let alone in a fight.

Ye Feng had faced off against enemy nations in the Northwest, drawing his sword and killing countless enemies.

In his eyes, Fu Hai was no different from an ant.

The outcome was predetermined.

Before Fu Hai's fist could land, Ye Feng had already kicked him in the abdomen, sending him flying.

He crashed into the chair behind him, the immense force breaking the chair's backrest.

Fu Hai lay on the ground, curling up, clutching his stomach, trembling all over, his face twisted in pain, constantly groaning.

The scene happened too quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, and no one had time to react.

The commotion even drew the attention of classmates at the neighboring tables, who all looked over.

It was well-known that Ye Feng didn't get along with He Chunqing and Fu Hai in class.

Originally, it was thought to be just verbal disputes, but it unexpectedly turned into a fight.

And Ye Feng was as fierce as ever.

He Chunqing stood frozen, stunned. He had planned for Fu Hai to provoke Ye Feng, and then the two of them would teach him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so fierce, and before he could even get close, Fu Hai was kicked away, unable to get up.

"Provoke me? You're not qualified!"

Ye Feng said coldly, looking at Fu Hai on the ground.

He Chunqing snapped out of his daze, pointing at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, how dare you hit someone?"

"Call the police, call the police!"

He Chunqing was a bit panicked now, afraid that Ye Feng would come over and deal with him too.

He quickly took out his phone and dialed the police.

He had connections at the police station, intending to use this opportunity to send Ye Feng back to prison, to show him the consequences of crossing him.
