After years of neglect, the bungalow had become a complete mess, now serving as a rendezvous spot for others.

Zifeng was both angry and enraged.

The man and woman who had been in the throes of passion were instantly stunned, forcibly separated like two dogs separated in mid-copulation.

They had finally found such a perfect hidden spot for their affair, where they thought they could be intimate without anyone knowing, yet now they had been discovered.

The woman screamed and then scurried to hide beside a cabinet in the room, continuously pulling at her clothes to cover herself up.

The man looked fierce, with a bearded face and a relatively sturdy body.

He was bewildered too, at first thinking it was the woman’s husband who had caught them.

But when he saw Zifeng’s thin figure, the fierce man’s heart sank and he relaxed a bit, thinking after all he had some reputation around these parts, though his ways were despicable.

Zifeng’s eyes were teary, his gaze bloodshot with sorrow and anger.

He just couldn’t believe his own home had now become a place for others to sneak around!

When he left five years ago, he had entrusted a neighbor with a significant amount of money to look after the place, and he had sent back plenty of money each year for the same reason.

Over five years, Zifeng had sent nearly two hundred thousand yuan, which was far from a small sum for any village and would be considered a substantial income.

Yet upon his return, his home had nearly fallen to ruins.

Could this really be the work of the neighbor who had agreed to help?

Zifeng could hardly bring himself to believe it!

How could people do such things now?

The aggressive man, upon seeing Zifeng’s frail appearance and guard uniform, thought Zifeng was just passing by, so he rose menacingly to his feet.

“Kid, if you want to live well in Siping Village, I hope you’ll forget everything you just saw!

Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary!” the aggressive man said awkwardly while hurriedly pulling on his trousers.

Then with a sinister grin, he said, “Looking at you, you’re just a little security guard.

Forget about today, and you can hang with me!

I’ll treat you well!

How about that?” The aggressive man wasn’t completely despicable; knowing his deed was uncovered, he couldn’t just go on threatening people.

His best bet was to mix threats with inducements, giving the person a chance to keep their mouth shut.

“Tell me, why has this bungalow turned out like this?” Zifeng asked with an icy look in his eyes that sparkled like stars, his voice extremely detached, not at all like the Zifeng who was usually nonchalant.

“Yo!

You’re quite cheeky, aren’t you?

What right do you have to tell me where I can go?

I’m telling you now to get lost!

Otherwise, be careful I won’t be polite,” the aggressive man barked, full of domineering anger at Zifeng.

“Today, I just feel like causing trouble,” Zifeng said.

Suddenly!

Zifeng’s brows knitted in anger, his eyes cold and laced with a bloodthirsty light.

With an outstretched hand, he seized the aggressive man’s throat and pinned him against the wall.

The action terrified the rather plain-looking woman, who covered her mouth with a shriek.

She cowered beside the cabinet, trembling like a frightened bird.

“I’m giving you one last chance.

Why has this bungalow become like this?

Doesn’t anyone care about it?” Zifeng demanded.

The aggressive man was scared out of his wits, seeing Zifeng’s face filled with a chilling murderous intent.

After all, he was just a street hooligan who could intimidate others with his size, but if he truly encountered a tough opponent, his instinct was to grovel.

He had stooped so low as to sneak into someone else’s place for an affair; what good could come from such a person?

“Big…

Big brother!

We can talk this out, please don’t be angry!” the aggressive man almost cried, lifted by the collar and in complete disarray by Zifeng’s grip.

“This house has been abandoned for many years.

We heard it was going to be demolished and that no one was managing it, so we…”

“So you two came here to have an affair!

Do you know who owns this house?” Zifeng demanded coldly.

“Big Brother!

Please don’t get angry!

I heard that the owner of this house hasn’t been back for many years, and it seems like this house doesn’t have a known owner and no one has shown any interest, so we just…”

The fierce man’s voice lowered slightly, but then he turned his head towards the woman and scolded angrily, “Big Brother!

It’s all my fault, but it’s this bitch who seduced me.

If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have come to this house!

Big Brother, if you like, I can give you this sassy bitch to play with.

What do you say?”

The fierce man wore a pleading expression on his face.

“Ah!

You bastard!

How can you treat me like this?” The woman, upon hearing that she was to be given to Lin Zifeng for his amusement, suddenly had a face filled with anger and began to curse in panic.

But she was silenced by a cold glare from Lin Zifeng.

“I’m not interested in her!

I’ll give you three minutes to get out!” By this time, Lin Zifeng’s heart ached as if pierced by needles.

Had his own home really become a place for others to commit adultery?

How could he face his parents?

His mother had once said that a man must protect four things in his life: the earth beneath his feet, the woman in his arms, the parents in his home, and the brothers with whom he shares life and death.

Yet now, he had failed to protect any of them.

As a man, Lin Zifeng even felt that he was a complete failure.

“Thank you, Big Brother!

Thank you, Big Brother!”

Before leaving, the fierce man gave Lin Zifeng a deep look, then sneered coldly.

Little runt of Siping Village!

Just you wait!

Disrupting my good time; I’ll make sure you don’t get away with it.

If I don’t deal with you today, and you spread what happened today, wouldn’t I lose face.

The fierce man glowered at Lin Zifeng with malice.

After they left, Lin Zifeng sat alone for a while in a melancholic daze, smoking three cigarettes, before finally calming his emotions.

Memories of the past played out before him, but nothing could be replayed.

…

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Who is it?

I’m coming.”

Upon descending the stairs, Lin Zifeng went straight to find his neighbor, Aunt Li.

But who would have thought that the door would be opened by a young woman.

Her beautiful eyes were expressive, her lips red and teeth white, as she asked in a soft, melodious voice, “Who are you?

May I ask who you’re looking for?”

The woman’s voice was soft and gentle, making her seem like a delicate and graceful lady from a humble home, with her high-bridged nose, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, lively and spirited pretty eyes, and a pristine white face like a perfectly shaped melon seed.

Her simple attire, though not particularly striking, enhanced her slender, graceful figure, her skin fair and tender, and her bearing outstanding, exuding the vitality of a modern, young woman, reminding one of the girl-next-door.

“I…”

Just as Lin Zifeng was about to speak, he found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Could it be that the beautiful woman before him was the little girl who always used to follow him around?

“Big Brother Lin!”

The woman was initially stunned, but then she recognized Lin Zifeng…
