Chapter 8 Unexpected
The party ended at more than 8 o'clock in the evening. Some classmates made an appointment for a second gathering, and Liu Chunhua also invited Du Le and others to go to KTV to sing songs together.
Du Le didn't want to go, but Chen Lei was eager and excited, clearly having a great time. Du Le naturally couldn't pour cold water on Chen Lei's enthusiasm, so he agreed to go along.
Li Qiang and Zhang Kai both agreed to go together, but Wei Shiyuan had something urgent come up at the last minute and left ahead of time.
Liu Chunhua's appeal was still relatively strong, and about 20 or so classmates reached a consensus to go to a KTV room in the city to sing songs.
Hao Pai KTV is a large, high-end KTV chain store in Fuhai City. The largest private room can accommodate more than 50 people. Du Le and his friends booked a medium-sized private room, ordered some snacks, several cases of beer, fruit juice, etc., and then sang, performed, listened to music, and drank inside with abandon.
Those who made people feel uncomfortable were gone, and Du Le's heart gradually became cheerful and enthusiastic with the music and wine.
An hour later, Du Le sat in a corner of the private room, feeling suffocated after drinking a lot of wine. He could only smile and get up, apologize to his classmates beside him, and walk out of the private room alone.
Outside the private room, there was a female waitress. Du Le asked her where the restroom was and walked along the curved corridor with light footsteps.
Fortunately, the bathroom outside the box was not far away, and Du Le walked a few dozen steps before arriving at the destination.
The bathroom is not very big, but it's very clean. The men's toilet only has a few toilets and three small rooms.
Du Le finished washing his hands and was about to leave when three more people walked into the restroom. Du Le subconsciously looked up at them in the mirror, then quickly lowered his head.
Because these three people who came in were actually the thugs they met at the dinner party just now. Narrow road encounter, Du Le still remembered that at that time, those three thugs pointed at him and Chen Lei, telling them to be careful.
Du Le has self-awareness and one person can't beat them.
Three thugs, the first thing they did when they walked in, was to open the small doors of the bathroom one by one to check if there was anyone inside. One of them held a small black travel bag and stood guard at the door of the bathroom.
Du Le lowered his head and washed his hands. As he was about to leave, he suddenly saw that one of the thugs with a bag was staring at his face, and he immediately felt something was off.
"So it was you, you little brat!" The hoodlum with the bag kicked Du Le viciously.
Du Le's subconscious wanted to use his hand to block it, but because he wasn't prepared at the moment, he was knocked into the washbasin by the impact.
The other two thugs also rushed over and started beating Du Le at the same time.
The narrow bathroom left no room for escape, Du Le must find a way to fight back with all his might, he couldn't just sit and wait for death.
It's okay, the narrow bathroom blocked Du Le's back, for a while, the thugs were hitting Du Le at the same time, they would accidentally hit the wall, plus Du Le's toughness made the thugs extremely angry, the thug holding the bag simply put the bag aside and rushed towards Du Le.
Du Le's pressure increased greatly, and in the end he could only passively defend his vital areas, constantly dodging in the bathroom.
Soon, the kicking and shouting in the bathroom alarmed a passing KTV administrator, who rushed over with a group of security guards carrying batons.
"Stop it, we've already called the police, anyone who continues to cause trouble will be taken directly to the police station!"
Three thugs heard the word "police" and were visibly startled, hastily stopping what they were doing, their faces somewhat panicked.
"The bag is gone!" The thug who was carrying the bag suddenly shouted.
The other two thugs were shocked by what they heard and, ignoring the security guards who were about to rush in, hastily searched for him in the bathroom.
"It was just here," the thugs exclaimed in panic, then looked at the incoming security guard, "Who took our bag?!"
"What's in the bag?" A security guard with an angry face raised his wooden stick and said, "Damn it, dare to come here and extort us, I'll beat you hard!"
At least five security guards raised their batons and beat up three thugs mercilessly.
Three thugs wailed in succession, Du Le crouched on the ground, staring at them with a face full of hatred. That's right, just now when they were chasing him and didn't notice, Du Le activated the spatial storage function, instantly touched that black travel bag, and suddenly put their bags into the spatial pouch.
It's unclear whether the three thugs were too stupid or what, but they kept chasing and beating Du Le without noticing that their bag was gone. When they discovered that their bag was missing, the security guard happened to come in. The two sides suspected each other, so naturally there wouldn't be any good faces. How many people who can work as security guards in this KTV chain are afraid of trouble?
Soon three thugs were squatting on the ground like Du Le, they had been beaten badly, and the security guards ordered them to squat on the ground without allowing them to stand up.
Du Le was confirmed to be a guest at KTV and was released soon after being searched.
Du Le was in pain all over his body. Fortunately, while protecting his vital parts, he also protected his face and had no obvious scars.
Back in the private room, Du Le pulled Chen Lei out of the room.
"I want to go home," Du Le said.
"Why go home so early?" Chen Lei said with some dissatisfaction, he was just chatting enthusiastically with a girl earlier.
"Just now I bumped into those three thugs." Du Le stared at Chen Lei and said.
"Not those three useless thugs, have..." Chen Lei suddenly felt something was off and asked: "Are you okay?"
"They were beaten up, but the security guards here also beat them up." Du Le nodded and said, "I think we should leave early, it's best to tell the class leader and leave ahead of time."
Chen Lei suddenly grabbed Du Le's sleeve and pulled it open, revealing a mass of bruises. "Kao, tell me, where are they?"
"It's all over, and they were beaten badly too," Du Le said. "I wanted to tell you that I'm going to a classmate's house to stay overnight, and I'll head back home tomorrow by myself. You be careful." Du Le thought for a moment and decided it was better for him to find a place to stay alone for the night. He didn't want to drag Chen Lei down with him, but he still had to remind him.
As expected, Chen Lei's face showed some hesitation.
"Alright, I'll go first, you go in and apologize to the class leaders for me." Du Le said immediately.
As soon as Chen Lei turned around and entered the private room, Du Le immediately turned around and left the KTV. By the time Chen Lei and Liu Chunhua came out together, Du Le had long since disappeared.
Du Le walked out of the KTV around 10 pm. At this time, many shops in the city were preparing to close. Du Le walked along the street for about 300 meters and found a small shop that was still open, where he used a public phone to call home and explain that he would be staying overnight at a friend's house, after all, he couldn't go back home and let his parents suspect anything. He then bought a bottle of Wonton oil from a pharmacy. After inquiring with several hotels, he finally found one that was relatively cheap to stay in.
After a brief rest, Du Le suddenly remembered the flustered expression of the three thugs when they lost their package, which made him very curious about what was inside.
