Chapter 114: Conflict (2)

  A group of people came rushing towards the restaurant with a menacing air, and without saying a word, Chu Chen and the others also knew what it was about.

  Seeing that there were so many people, even Zhang Yanbin, who had been exceptionally fierce before, couldn't help but panic, and the two girls were frightened out of their wits.

  Among the seven people, only Chu Chen and Zhang Yanbin have real combat power. The other three men, two of whom are middle-aged, and Li Guodong, who has been a good boy since childhood, can hardly deal with a little thug, let alone now.

  Chu Chen is a martial artist's son, but when he was 8 or 9 years old, he might still be able to handle it. Wanting to beat up twenty or thirty thugs is definitely unrealistic. Moreover, among them are two girls, which further restricts his movements.

  At a critical moment, Chu Chen suddenly thought of a detail and shouted loudly: "Quickly, quickly retreat into the restaurant!"

  From the boss of the restaurant who appeared to persuade when conflicts occurred before, and their performance, Chu Chuan guessed that the boss called Long Ge must not be an ordinary person, maybe he is a big mixed rice himself. So as long as you enter the restaurant, those mixed rices should not rush into the restaurant to threaten their personal safety.

  As expected, when they entered the restaurant, the group of people rushed to the entrance of the restaurant and tried to rush in. The boss, called Long Ge, brought a few burly younger brothers to block them at the door, his face stern as he said: "What's going on, Qing Pi? Are you trying to wreck my place?"

  "Dragon brother, don't stop me. If something happens to me, I'll make sure you're responsible for it. That kid beat up my brother like that, I must teach him a lesson!" With so many people following him, Qingpi also gained more confidence than before and was not going to let the matter slide this time.

  Long Ge sneered and said, "Qing Pi, if I let you get away with this today, where would I put my face? Wouldn't it be that next time, as long as there are more people, they can come and bully me again?"

  Qingpi said calmly: "Dragon brother, I lost a lot of face today. If I don't teach them a lesson, can I still hold my head up in front of my younger brothers?"

  Long Ge laughed and said with a somewhat ferocious expression: "What's going on, Qing Pi? You really don't give me any face?! I'm putting my words here today, you smashed my store today, so tonight don't blame me for bringing people to smash your billiard room, as well as the song and dance hall on East Street. If you don't believe it, you can try and see."

  Qingpi realized that the person he was facing was more powerful than himself, and his face turned red and white in an instant. However, with so many younger brothers behind him, he pointed at Longge and said fiercely:

  "You're a real man! Today I'll give you some face, I'll wait outside, if you have the ability, keep those outsiders from leaving!"

  After finishing speaking, he sat down on the steps at the entrance of the restaurant with two subordinates.

  Long Ge glanced at Qing Pi's rascal appearance and frowned, saying: "Whatever!"

  Chu Chen and the others also frowned upon seeing this situation.

  "Everyone, I'm really sorry, it's just that I was too impulsive."

  Others quickly expressed that it was none of their business, and Chu Chen said: "Zhang Ge, everyone is a reasonable person, this matter can't be blamed on you, now the most important thing is to solve the problem in front of us."

  "Shouldn't we call the police?" Wen Yuting said with a frightened expression.

  Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Reporting to the police won't be of much use. Can the police protect us all the way out of Yingjiang? What if that thug has a good relationship with the police, aren't we just putting ourselves in danger?"

  Think about it, isn't that right? Generally speaking, those who are quite big and mixed up, how could they not know a few police officers? Wouldn't they become lambs entering the tiger's mouth at that time?

  Wen Yuting wanted to say something else, but the restaurant owner, Long Ge, walked over and lit a cigarette, sighing as he said: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, let you have a bad time eating at my place. To be honest, if you stayed in my store all the time, you definitely wouldn't lose a single hair."

  "But there are rules on the road, Qingpi agreed not to smash my store, it's already giving me face. So once we're outside, I'm powerless. Moreover, Qingpi is a narrow-minded person, he won't let you off easily unless he's got something out of you. Among the people you know here, do any of them have some influence? If so, it's best to call them quickly and ask for their help in mediating."

  Upon hearing this, Wen Yuting hastily asked Chu Yulan: "Yulan, does your family have any acquaintances around here?"

  Chu Yulan was also frightened today, and said in a somewhat flustered tone: "Our family has no influence in southern Yunnan, oh yeah! And my grandfather has subordinates here, but I don't have his phone number, what to do......"

  "Yulan, you can call and ask!" said Wen Yuting anxiously.

  Seeing Chu Yulan's flustered appearance, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel some heartache. However, he suddenly thought of something and said to Chu Yulan: "Little Lan, don't ask anymore, previously Zhao Ge gave me a call, I'll go ask him first."

  As he said that, Chu Chen took out his phone and walked to the side to dial the number. After a while, the call went through, and after exchanging a few words, he hung up the phone.

  After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He looked up to see everyone else staring at him with eager eyes, so he smiled and said, "It's all right, we just need to wait another five minutes."

  Upon hearing this good news, Wen Yuting couldn't help but cheer up, and the others also let out a sigh of relief like Chu Chen.

  Seeing this situation, Dragon Brother walked up to Chu Chen's side and asked softly: "Little brother, are you really okay now?"

  Chu Chen nodded and smiled, saying: "Thank you, Dragon Brother. It should be fine now. Today was really thanks to you. If it weren't for your help, we would have had a hard time. A great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, but if Dragon Brother has anything in the future, feel free to call me. As long as I can help, I'll definitely do so!"

  As he spoke, he took out his own business card and handed it to Dragon Brother.

  Long Ge took the business card, originally wanting to ask who Chu Chen had invited, but thinking that he would know soon and that asking too many questions was also disrespectful to others, so he swallowed his words.

  When Chu Chen walked back, Wen Yuting asked eagerly: "Chu brother, who did you invite this time?"

  Chu Chen smiled and said, "I only know that the man's surname is Feng. At first, Xiaolan's uncle didn't tell me what Mr. Feng did either. He just told me to call him if I encountered an emergency on this side. Just now, because time was pressing, I didn't chat with Mr. Feng much either. I don't understand the specific situation very well."

  Wen Yuting said with some worry after hearing this: "Can that person really deal with those guys outside?"

  Li Guodong said: "Yuting, don't think too much about it. This is a small matter introduced by Xiao Lan's uncle, and it will definitely be handled properly."

  "Is it a small matter?"

  Wen Yuting slapped Li Guoxia's arm a few times and said, "You say it's a small matter, but why did I only see Chu Ge and Zhao Ge take action? You didn't even react earlier?"

  Li Guodong rubbed his arm and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't react in time, did I?"

  Li Guodong is right, previously from thin and tall individual harassing Chu Yulan, to Chu Chen kicking him, but it was only half a minute, Li Guodong was not good at fighting in the first place, his slow reaction is also understandable.

  Don't say Li Guodong didn't react, by the time Hou Yuanming, a soldier, reacted, those people had already taken things and were ready to surround Zhang Yanbin. Although this was the case, Li Guodong was originally a proud person, and he also felt that his performance just now was somewhat embarrassing.

  When Wen Yuting was about to say something, Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Xiao Wen, don't blame Li Ge either. People have different divisions of labor, just like the civil officials and military generals in ancient times. You can't expect a civil official to fight like a general, right?"

  "Hum! Let him be a civil official then!"

  What happened just now was actually Wen Yuting's venting after being frightened, and she would be fine once she had vented. So Li Guodong didn't blame her at all, and afterwards Li Guodong comforted her a few more times, and the two of them made up as before.

  Squeak!

  Suddenly, the people in the restaurant heard a long and sharp braking sound coming from outside the door. Chu Chen guessed that it might be someone sent by Mr. Feng, so he quickly ran to the entrance of the restaurant to look outside, only to see three trucks stopped outside, and more than 20 fully armed soldiers came down from the carriage with a swoosh.

  After the soldiers got off the bus, they pointed their guns at those thugs and shouted loudly:

  "Don't move! Put down all your weapons!"

  The scene shocked all the thugs present, some of whom quickly dropped their iron bars and other weapons to the ground, causing a loud "clanging" sound.

  There were several at the back who wanted to slip away quietly, but they were all scared back into their own ranks by the guns in the hands of the soldiers, and they all became flustered.

  The green-skinned man sitting at the door now knew that he had hit a brick wall, and was similarly frightened to the point of trembling all over. If these soldiers were to drag him back to the barracks, his underlings would be fine, but as for himself, the big boss, wouldn't he lose a layer of skin? Especially when thinking about what he had done previously to get ahead, his face suddenly turned white as snow.

  Thinking of his own miserable ending, the ruthless young man suddenly decided he couldn't just sit and wait for death. He turned around, saw the two girls in the restaurant, and immediately came up with an idea. He pulled out a spring knife from his pocket, stood up, and chose to rush towards Chu Yu Lan.

  However, Chu Chen, standing at the door, couldn't let Qing Pi rush past him. Chu Chen stood fearlessly in Qing Pi's path, and when Qing Pi stabbed at him with his knife, he dodged to the left and gave Qing Pi a powerful shoulder strike, sending him flying out.
