The man had no intention of just letting the girls go.
As soon as one of the girls got close to him, the man grabbed her arm. “Hey, don’t go! This meeting has been fated! Why not sit down and have a meal together? Get to know each other!”
His words immediately provoked laughter from his companions.
The girl’s face showed even more embarrassment, and she struggled several times but couldn’t break free from the man’s grip.
Hearing the commotion, the busy owner rushed out from the kitchen.
He first assessed the situation, then addressed the man. “Brother Fang, you’re here! Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Today I brought my brothers to patronize your business. What, are you not welcoming us?” Brother Fang replied to the owner, still not letting go of the girl.
“Of course, you’re welcome! Very welcome!” the owner hurriedly said, stepping forward and slightly bowing, “Brother Fang, please come inside, I’ll arrange a seat for you!”
Seeing this, the girl tried to struggle away again, but Brother Fang wouldn’t relax his grip, speaking with dissatisfaction: “I’ve taken a liking to you and want you to accompany me for a meal. You’d better not struggle, or you’ll regret it!”
Brother Fang’s threatening words made the girl shiver in fear.
The owner’s brow also furrowed deeply, but he still led them inside.
Since the restaurant was already full, accommodating these new arrivals meant asking other customers to leave.
The owner knew that driving away customers was bad for business, so he signaled to a waiter.
The waiter, quick-witted, brought out a folding table from the storage and headed outside.
The owner immediately went forward, helping the waiter set up the table near the kitchen.
Their movements were quick, and in just a minute or two, the table was ready.
“Brother Fang, this way, please…”
Before the owner could finish, Brother Fang kicked over the chair.
“What is this? Trying to fob me off with this kind of seat?” Brother Fang’s tone was even more offensive. “Me coming to your restaurant to eat is a blessing for you!”
“You should be grateful I’m giving you face. How can you brush me off like this? How can I keep up my reputation on this street if you do?”
Brother Fang’s impatience grew, and he bellowed at the people at another table: “Are you done eating? If so, give up your seats to me!”
“Otherwise, move to that table! Did you hear me?”
Brother Fang’s fierce tone made the customers at that table put down their utensils and leave.
The owner wanted to retain them but could only sigh helplessly.
Brother Fang looked at the remaining food on the table and yelled at the owner: “They’re gone and you’re still not cleaning up? How do you run a business?”
The owner immediately started cleaning up.
The waiter, not daring to delay, quickly cleaned the table and the area beneath it.
Just as Brother Fang was about to sit down, the girl he was holding tried to struggle away.
Brother Fang, seeing this, raised his other hand to strike the girl’s face.
Her companion screamed at the sight.
Then there was a sharp “slap” sound. Everyone in the shop, including Brother Fang with his hand still raised, was stunned.
Brother Fang, momentarily unable to react, stared blankly at Linda, who had just slapped him.
Linda pulled the girl Brother Fang was holding towards her.
Apparently shocked by the slap, Brother Fang let go of the girl obediently.
As soon as she was released, the girl was embraced by her companion and quickly moved aside, clearly terrified.
Brother Fang then reacted.
“You, you, you dare to hit me!” Brother Fang stuttered, not sure if he was more angry or shocked by Linda.
“Don’t you deserve it?” Linda crossed her arms over her chest, chin lifted defiantly.
“You’re courting death!” Brother Fang was furious, his fists cracking, teeth gritted as he prepared to rush at Linda.
The men standing with Brother Fang seemed hesitant to intervene.
Xia Wan and Liu Hua also rushed over.
Though timid, Liu Hua steeled himself to stand with Linda.
Xia Wan had intended to use her silver needles to deal with these thugs but realized she had forgotten her bag in her rush to leave that day.
Brother Fang, with his slick appearance, seemed less of a threat, but his companions looked more formidable.
As Xia Wan was figuring out how to handle them, another cry of pain rang out.
As expected, when Brother Fang lunged at Linda, he didn’t gain the upper hand. Instead, Linda grabbed his hair and slammed his face onto the table..
