"First, call a car for them to leave."
Yue Hai, sensing Li Chonglou's emotions, immediately straightened his expression and helped the two women out of the shop, handing them over to a few helpful bystanders.
He then returned to the shop.
However, at this moment, the shop owner suddenly emerged from the kitchen and approached the two, whispering, "Young man, you should leave through our back door quickly. You can't afford to provoke this person; he has influence all over this area."
Chen Jiji, seemingly having overheard the shop owner, abruptly ended his phone call and pointed over, saying fiercely, "You dare to mind my business, you bastard? Believe it or not, I'll have you shut down and unemployed today? Just go home and lie flat?"
Upon hearing this, the shop owner's expression changed dramatically. He quickly bowed apologetically to Chen Jiji and hurried away.
Seeing the owner scurry off, a hint of triumph rose on Chen Jiji's face.
But before his smugness could last two seconds, he suddenly heard Li Chonglou say, "Break his fingers."
What?
Chen Jiji's expression froze. The next moment, he saw Yue Hai walking towards him.
"You, you... what do you want to do?"
Yue Hai remained silent, but his expression was somewhat odd, though not directed at Chen Jiji.
"Brother Li, he can be this ruthless too? Breaking fingers... I've never actually tried that."
Cornered and with nowhere left to retreat, Chen Jiji could only watch as Yue Hai grabbed his hand.
"Don't..."
Before Chen Jiji could even utter a plea for mercy.
The next second, Chen Jiji's pained screams echoed from the barbecue shop.
Although Yue Hai had never done such a thing before, he did not hesitate in the slightest, meticulously breaking off Chen Jiji's fingers one by one.
His unhurried actions caused the onlookers outside to flinch repeatedly.
Simultaneously, a strange sense of satisfaction spread across their faces.
As the saying goes, every dog has its day; this damned Chen Jiji had finally met his match!
Truly, the heavens have cycles, and justice prevails!
To Li Chonglou's surprise, not a single person present took out their phone to call the police. It seemed they had long held a grudge against this man and were eager to see him dealt with.
Several minutes later, Chen Jiji, bathed in cold sweat and clutching his right hand, his five crooked fingers now subduing him, didn't even dare to lift his head.
Yue Hai, as if nothing had happened, calmly returned to Li Chonglou's side.
"Might there be another fight later?"
Li Chonglou offered a reminder.
Yue Hai grinned, "Just what I wanted!"
Whether it was the bloody scene that ignited his fighting spirit or some other reason, Li Chonglou felt Yue Hai's current state was better than before.
Could this guy be a natural born fighter?
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed slightly. Back at the Martial Arts Association, he hadn't been entirely satisfied with Yue Hai's performance. Simply because he faced an opponent he couldn't defeat at the time, Yue Hai had lost all will to fight and remained frozen. Li Chonglou had always thought Yue Hai was afraid of combat.
But judging from the situation just now, this guy was clearly enjoying the fight, enjoying the bloodshed.
"Perhaps the blow he received last time was too severe."
Li Chonglou mused, suddenly holding new expectations for Yue Hai.
What he needed was a fearless mindset for combat. Without that state of mind, even if he trained Yue Hai to his own level, he wouldn't be able to unlock the true potential of Mai Qian.
Just then, several screeching brakes sounded from outside the shop.
The two turned to look, seeing several vans parked steadily on the roadside. More than a dozen men armed with knives disembarked.
Each of them had a fierce countenance, carrying a faint aura of menace. Clearly, they were all professional blade fighters.
However, after getting out, the blade fighters did not rush in but lined up in two rows, awaiting a man to descend from one of the vehicles.
As this person appeared, Li Chonglou's eyes narrowed instantly.
It was none other than his target, Xiao Jin, the golden-class enforcer of the Xi Gang!
With a height of over 1.7 meters, he appeared somewhat lean, but the aura emanating from him was several times more potent than that of Sen Lang!
With eagle-like eyes, a hooked nose, and a slender face with thin lips, this man named Xiao Jin, judging solely by his appearance, was the embodiment of a formidable and dangerous presence.
Furthermore, his gait was exceptionally steady, clearly indicating he was an internal martial arts master.
"Xiao Hai, your opponent has arrived."
The moment Yue Hai saw Xiao Jin, his expression turned serious. Hearing Li Chonglou's instruction now, he nodded earnestly and moved to meet Xiao Jin.
Inside the shop, upon seeing Xiao Jin, Chen Jiji's face lit up with excitement as he shouted, "Brother-in-law! Save me!"
As Chen Jiji shouted, he tried to run outside, but Li Chonglou grabbed him by the collar.
"Did I say I'd let you go?"
Chen Jiji's expression changed abruptly, but remembering Li Chonglou's ruthless words from earlier, he dared not resist, being held in his hand like a chick.
Xiao Jin also noticed this scene, and his already cold face darkened further.
Yue Hai had now blocked his path.
Xiao Jin shifted his gaze back to Yue Hai.
"Scram."
"Too much nonsense."
Yue Hai sneered, about to make a move, when a familiar voice from Li Chonglou suddenly rang out.
"Stop!"
It was a cold, elegant reprimand. Everyone present turned to look, seeing a valiant female police officer in uniform standing there.
Li Chonglou, carrying Chen Jiji, emerged from the shop, his brow immediately furrowing.
It was Lin Qianqian.
Xiao Jin clearly recognized Lin Qianqian as well, his brow furrowing even tighter.
"Director Lin?"
Lin Qianqian directly drew her service pistol, her face cold as she stepped forward and said sternly, "Ke Jin, didn't I warn you not to cause trouble while I'm in office?"
Ke Jin said coldly, "I call you Director Lin out of respect, don't think you can truly control me."
Lin Qianqian showed no signs of backing down, "Then try and lay a hand on me!"
Her clear, delicate eyes now seemed like a divine warrior descending, utterly fearless, staring intently at Ke Jin, earning unspoken admiration from the surrounding onlookers.
They finally saw a police officer dare to confront these underworld figures with such authority!
As the atmosphere grew tense and on the verge of erupting, several teams of police officers rushed out from behind Lin Qianqian.
More than ten people in total, each armed with equipment. Ke Jin's expression shifted slightly as he quickly gave a signal to his subordinate.
Following his lead, the blade fighters immediately turned and fled.
The police behind Lin Qianqian were about to give chase, but she raised her hand to stop them.
