Chapter 22: The Grand Hall Has a Sudden Change

  The door was kicked open with a loud crash, and more than a dozen people rushed in, wearing security uniforms, doorman attire, and waiter outfits. They swarmed in, surrounding the three troublemakers, who were still smugly eating and drinking, completely ignoring the woman's shrill cries. The three men's distinctive physical characteristics made them stand out, and they had nowhere to hide. The diners in the hall looked on in shock, some of them hastily putting down their plates and leaving. The woman who had left and returned pushed her way through the crowd, her finger pointing accusingly as she shouted furiously:

  "It's them, get me out of here."

  "Who dares?" Lei Dapeng rolled up his sleeves and let out a loud roar, ready to take action. However, he didn't expect that the young men from the security team were not intimidated at all. Li Xiao saw that the situation was not in their favor and felt a bit afraid, so he quickly waved his hand to explain: "Hey, hey, we're cultured people, we can't resort to violence, do you know who I am? Let me tell you, I'm from the Taizhong District Urban Management."

  The reputation is not very good, the security guard brought his companions to surround them, Bai Shuguang shouted in a self-possessed tone: "Whoever makes a move will bear the consequences later, believe it or not, I'll call over a hundred brothers to smash this broken shop of yours."

  These two otakus followed Lei Dapeng and learned a lot of verbal sparring skills, but they used them in the wrong place. The boss's daughter's face fell, her beauty was enraged, her eyebrows were raised, and she said angrily: "Good, this is my family's restaurant, you try to smash it... Security, come up, don't mention city management, I won't let the police off either."

  It seems that he was really angry, and as soon as the big sister spoke, the security guard in front of him, wielding a rubber baton, rushed up to Zu Xiao Li. Zu Xiao Li's mouth was still working, but he had never actually fought before, and in the blink of an eye, his true nature was revealed. He shouted loudly: "Lei Ge, save me!"

  Bang together, muffled sound; crackling sound, shattering sound.

  Someone in the crowd at the side shouted: "Everyone retreat."

  The voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a strong penetrating power, leaving a cold and chilling feeling for a while.

  Lei Dapeng was not afraid at all and knew that Egg Brother had made a sneak attack.

  Li Xiaoli put down her hand, touched her head and found nothing wrong, her whole body didn't hurt, she knew she was saved.

  One look at the security guard who rushed up, but was lying on the ground, one hand covering his crotch and the other hand covering his head. At a glance, it became clear that Leigang had kicked him in the crotch, and Baixuguang took advantage of the situation to smash his head against the food plate with a loud crash. What's even more ruthless is that the guy accompanying the girl on the side was somehow subdued by Egg Brother at some point, one hand strangling his neck and the other hand grasping a shard of glass. The look on the strangled guy's face was extremely painful, and it seemed like he wasn't an ordinary person.

  Suddenly another reversal came, and Dan Yong stepped forward step by step, scaring the security guard and a group of assistants to retreat. The woman was anxious, shouting "Wen Jie", seemingly the man's name. Then she pointed at Dan Yong with her eyes wide open, shouting: "Let him go..." While speaking, she rushed forward without regard for anything, but unexpectedly was stopped by the sharp-eyed security guard. The porcelain piece on his neck was not just a joke, and the guy lying on the ground also knew that this group of people was not like ordinary customers who could be intimidated so easily. They were ruthless in their actions, and except for the city management, no one else would do such a thing.

  "Alright, let him go." With a wave of his hand, the man was about to run away, but unexpectedly, Shan Yong lifted his leg and kicked the back of his knee. The poor guy fell to the ground with a thud and was once again subdued by Shan Yong, still in the same position, pointing at his right neck. Shan Yong smiled and said, "See, he can't escape, it's not just about having more people."

  She looked very nervous and heartbroken, turned around and scolded the restaurant staff who didn't dare to come forward, helpless and shouted: "Call the police, dial 110... Let the police catch these bad guys."

  Dan Yong smiled and said, "You're Tao Xuanhe, right? I suggest you don't call the police, otherwise with so many customers around, it'll be very embarrassing. Call your dad over and see if he dares to mess with us."

  "Who do you think you are? ... Ah? Is it you?" Tao Xuehe looked clearly, recognized, was the one who had a nod on the street before selling donkey meat, but did not expect to meet in such a situation today, suddenly got confused, shouting hoarsely: "Ning Jia, get up... A bunch of rubbish. All roll away. Dad, who is this..."

  The woman was driven a bit crazy, scolding and kicking the store employees indiscriminately, until Tao Chengzhang rushed down in a hurry, took one look at the scene and was shocked, then looked again and saw it was Shan Yong, and was shocked again. Knowing that this guy was a bald-headed thug who had fought with knives before, he quickly ordered someone to take away his daughter and carry away those who were beaten unconscious, and stepped forward with a flattering smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding... my little girl doesn't know you all, give us some face."

  "It was nothing to begin with." Danyong suddenly let go of the person, smiled at the pale-faced guy and helped him tidy up his clothes, saying very politely: "Sorry friend, you're the only one who can be a shield... I've offended you."

  "Hmph!" The handsome guy snorted in annoyance, patted his clothes, and Bai Shuguang was about to scold him when Lei Dapeng waved his hand to shoo him away. This good-for-nothing can only eat and cause trouble.

  As soon as the man left, Tao Chengzhang, that old slicker, was still smiling and calling out to the service staff to clean up. He made a round of apologies to the guests with a smile on his face, and in front of everyone, he scolded the security guard for a few words. But when he turned around, he arranged for Dan Yong and others to be taken to the VIP single room, smiling and letting the service staff serve them.

  As they went out the door, Shi Jia and his daughter, who were also going downstairs, looked at each other in dismay. Shi Baquan whispered to Tao Chengzhang, "Don't mess with him, I'm not scaring you, Qin Junhu and Kong Xiangzhong can't be messed with, I think I can't either."

  "It's all right, it's all right, the kids are just playing, nothing will happen, you two sit down. Old Qian is accompanying Mr. Shi, I'll go take a look at my daughter." Tao Chengzhang had come downstairs and arrived at the manager's office in the main hall, waving his hand to dismiss the crowd, and whispered something to his sulking daughter, who suddenly forgot her anger, her eyes wide with surprise, exclaiming: "Ah?! Is it him? Dad, are you talking about him?"

  "It's not him, who else? Four of them made fourteen, and all the way to Shijia Village are bandits. I reckon Kong Xiangzhong's farm was messed up by this gang. Don't get me into trouble, tomorrow these people will dare to come to our house and set fire."

  I don't know if it was intimidation or real, but the daughter's face turned pale with fear. When she turned around, she saw her boyfriend looking embarrassed and sulky, which made her a bit angry. Tao Chengzhang scolded him for a while, then told his daughter to go apologize and give compensation, but unexpectedly, the girl became stubborn and refused, saying "I won't go!" with a straight face.

  "Don't go out if you don't want to. Don't face them, they're all self-proclaimed managers, what's the point of arguing with them?" Tao Chengzhang scolded, but unexpectedly his daughter poured out a bellyful of grievances, saying: "Dad, you don't know how hateful those few fat men are, they call me Auntie, Big Mama, it's infuriating... It was really them who provoked me first."

  "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal, no need to make a fuss. Let's just drop it." Tao Chengzhang dragged his daughter away and hastily left, gesturing to the young man to calm her down. But unexpectedly, Tao Xuanhe now looked at her boyfriend with disdain, shouting at him to get out. Turning around, she yelled again: "Ning Jia...get back in here!"

  "Ah, I'm not here!" Ning Jia hastily came in and saw Tao Jie being so angry that she couldn't help but feel a little amused. She went forward to persuade her: "Tao Jie, don't bother with Lei Dapeng, he's got a one-track mind. If you try to outdo him, you'll only end up getting frustrated."

  "I'm so angry, what do you suggest I do? You're all classmates, ganging up to bully a weak woman like me... How despicable, how shameless! Calling me 'auntie', 'older sister'... I'd love to strangle those three fat pigs to death, I'm so furious... And what about your ex-boyfriend, is he involved with the gang?!" Tao Xuehe stamped her foot and slapped the table, looking like she was about to explode. Maybe what made her even angrier was that her dad had covered up the whole thing and wouldn't let her mention it, and what's more, her dad, who never went against his own nature, was trying to smooth things over, probably because he knew this anger had nowhere else to vent.

  "What can we do then?" Ning Jia asked with difficulty.

  "Let them apologize to me." Tao Xuanhe made a not-too-unreasonable request, which was already the minimum limit.

  "Ah!?" Ning Jia's face was bitter, this is much harder than planning a publicity event.

  "What's wrong, anyway, they're all your classmates. They don't apologize, I won't acknowledge you as my sister... This is already the lowest limit for me." Tao Xuehe said, and even she herself was not quite sure, but when facing Shan Yong, it made her heart palpitate for a while. In fact, if her father didn't pressure her, she probably wouldn't have had the courage to bring it up again either.

  She didn't make a sound, Ning Jia was not difficult to persuade, Tao Xuanhe saw the threat was fruitless, and changed to a pitiful tone, pulling Ning Jia and begging: "Jiajia, can you help me, Tao sister, get back a bit of face? Otherwise, tomorrow everyone will know that I was publicly harassed by three fat men, and then threatened... How can I live with this? In such a small place like Lu Zhou, by tomorrow all the people we know will find out."

  "Then I'll give it a try, but don't expect too much." Ning Jia was moved and made a helpless gesture.

  After walking out of the door for a long time, in their student days, this was a pair that nobody dared to provoke. After so many years, it seems that they haven't become duller, but instead have become even more sharp-tongued. In her understanding, these two people have both personality and principles, their personality is always making mistakes, and their principle is that even if they're wrong, they definitely won't admit it, what's the point of apologizing!?

  However... Ning Jia's eyes lit up when she saw the company's signed models occasionally passing by the hall, and today was Tao's special invitation to all the company's signed models to help with the donkey meat food festival. The main task is to lead those dignitaries into the private rooms. At this time, Ning Jia's thoughts were not like that, but she smiled on her face, finding an opportunity to change that man's personality and principles.

  Everyone will change, but men may never change in this regard, at least she thinks Lei Dapeng won't.
