Lin Feng's eyes turned red as he clenched his fists, his anger threatening to consume him. "You're just as dirty as the rest of them, Xiao Zhan!" he spat, his voice venomous.

Xiao Zhan chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Ah, Lin Feng, you're so predictable. I knew you'd fall for the trap."
