Sister Ting, standing by, nearly lost her composure upon hearing the kind patron’s words. This patron likely dined there regularly but hadn’t noticed the Interstellar Military Academy League playing on the screen!
If they had, they wouldn't have assumed the owner was a defenseless young girl to be easily exploited.
Sometimes, all it takes is a spark to ignite the atmosphere, and this patron who stepped forward first was clearly that spark.
Hearing what he said, many people flocked to the counter to observe.
“What’s wrong? Who’s bullying the owner?”
“Who’s causing trouble! Such a popular shop, is someone envious?!”
“I want to see who’s bold enough to bully the owner. Do they really not know how capable the owner is!”
The person who said this clearly knew of Meng Huai’s capabilities and was standing in a corner, anticipating the unfolding drama. kanδん
Just as everyone was criticizing Qi Yue for Meng Huai, Qi Yue herself was startled by the commotion and retreated. But just as she was about to reach the shop entrance, Director Gao finally arrived with his men.
Seeing Qi Yue being 'bullied' like this, Director Gao roared at his subordinates, “Can’t you see? Hurry up and save her!”
A group of people in police uniforms then stepped forward, intending to confront the customers to protect the person the director wanted to protect.
Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the uniformed personnel arrive. These customers, she wondered what had gotten into them to be so supportive of this little girl.
“Director Gao, you’re finally here!”
Qi Yue immediately hid behind Director Gao, fearing that the customers in front of her would swallow her whole.
Director Gao’s men also acted without discerning right from wrong, brandishing their weapons to harm people.
Seeing this, Meng Huai casually picked up a bottle of tea. She opened the lid of the tea canister; the tea leaves in this box were flaky. Although not long, only about a centimeter, and no more than two or three millimeters wide, Meng Huai picked out a few leaves and casually flicked them towards the attacking police officers.
The police officers were holding weapons, items like electric batons. They wouldn't be lethal, but being struck by them was quite painful.
Just as the front-row customers were about to be harmed, the tea leaves arrived. They were directly aimed at the wrists of the police officers holding their weapons.
Though the items were not particularly formidable, in Meng Huai’s hands, they naturally displayed extraordinary power. The leaves, upon contact with their wrists, directly caused the weapons to fly from the officers’ hands and clatter to the ground.
The patron who already knew of Meng Huai’s identity and had watched many Interstellar Military Academy League broadcasts saw that Meng Huai was about to unleash her might and had already prepared his recording device.
He hadn’t missed the scene just now.
However, even though he had anticipated that Meng Huai wouldn’t allow the customers to be harmed, her methods were a bit outlandish!
“I’ve bought that tea before, can that stuff have this much force?”
The man was puzzled but then thought to himself, “Ah, but it’s Meng Huai, so nothing is surprising! Still, to witness such a feat firsthand is truly blissful! This is so much more satisfying than watching any broadcast.”
The scene of his subordinates’ weapons dropping simultaneously startled Director Gao immensely.
“Who’s there!”
Director Gao looked around but couldn’t find the person behind this. He shouted again, “Who is it? Don’t be sneaky!”
Meng Huai walked out, appeasing the customers who had stood up for her.
“Thank you all, but let’s go and dine first! Otherwise, the food will get cold and won’t taste good.”
Saying this, she walked to the front of the police officers, her stance clearly indicating her intent.
Director Gao directly pushed aside two police officers and stepped in front of Meng Huai, pointing his finger at her. “Was that you just now, assaulting an officer? Let me tell you, your crime is immense! You’ll have to come with us to the police station!”
With that, he gestured for his men to escort Meng Huai away. The onlookers who had come to watch the commotion were naturally displeased.
“So, police officers can just act recklessly?”
“Why bully a young girl?”
Just as more customers were about to step in to defend her, before they could even voice their intentions, Meng Huai had already made her move. The police officer who stepped forward was sent flying out of the shop with a single move.
Furthermore, the direction she threw him was such that he kicked Director Gao as he was being flung out.
Director Gao was kicked by this move. He wasn't injured, but a clear shoe print appeared on his sleeve.
The customers who had intended to defend Meng Huai were rendered speechless by her swift actions.
The patron who had been recording also chuckled as he witnessed this.
Director Gao patted the shoe print on his sleeve, his arm also throbbing with pain from the kick. So, he covered his arm with his other hand and said to his subordinates, “Get her!”
The police officers hadn’t expected Meng Huai to be so formidable, recognizing her fighting prowess. But if they all went at her together, what could she do?
So, someone called out, “Let’s go together!”
A group of police officers surrounded Meng Huai and charged at her. However, Meng Huai showed no fear; she swiftly dealt with them, either knocking them down or throwing them out of the shop.
After finishing, she even clapped her hands.
“Anyone else?”
Meng Huai asked Director Gao. Director Gao was now in a panic. At this moment, Director Gao produced a weapon. The weapon he took out was not like the stun guns the others had.
It was a weapon that could kill.
However, Meng Huai looked at the item in his hand with no hint of evasion or fear. kΑnshu伍.ξà
Qi Yue was still hiding nearby, watching Director Gao being put in a difficult position. But when Director Gao produced his weapon, she felt a flicker of triumph.
After Director Gao revealed his weapon, he naturally had to state his case, otherwise, wouldn’t he be seen as wantonly harming someone!
“You terrorist, what exactly do you want! I’m telling you, surrender quickly, or I won’t be polite! With so many police officers suffering at your hands, imprisonment is inevitable for you!”
The customers on the other side, seeing the weapon in Director Gao’s hand, finally panicked.
“Ah!!!”
Some people in the crowd retreated in fear of the weapon.
But these were people who were afraid; no one felt that Meng Huai had done anything wrong.
