It was indeed that young master He!
Ye Cangtian was not surprised at all. After all, in the entire Yangzhou, besides that young master He, he hadn't offended anyone else.
"Brother Ye, no, you are the master, Master Ye! I, Liu Zhendong, was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai! I charged into the Dragon King's temple! Next time, next time I won't dare to bother Master Ye again!"
Liu Zhendong was sweating profusely from the pain. His right hand was nailed to the table, and blood was already flowing down his palm, but he didn't dare to move an inch.
He was considered a ruthless character who had risen from the bottom. He had experienced all sorts of storms over the years, and had even been severely injured, almost losing his life!
But he had never encountered a tough opponent like Ye Cangtian, who was not only terrifyingly powerful but also had a ruthlessness that made one's heart pound. The way he looked so calm, yet crippled his hand with a wave of his hand, was something even a murderer couldn't do so composedly.
Therefore, Liu Zhendong no longer dared to be arrogant. Even if he had a grudge, he would have to wait until he was out of trouble.
Ye Cangtian, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at him with a half-smile and said dismissively, "I don't know if there will be a next time! But even if you want revenge, I don't care!"
He exhaled a smoke ring, blowing it in Liu Zhendong's face, and continued, "However, next time it won't be so easy!"
Liu Zhendong's expression changed slightly, a flicker of complexity in his eyes, but he quickly nodded, "Master Ye, rest assured, I promise I won't dare to provoke you again in the future!"
"Get lost!" Ye Cangtian waved his hand casually.
"Th-thank you, Master Ye!" Liu Zhendong breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at his two subordinates who had already gotten up and shouted angrily, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me pull it out!"
His palm was firmly nailed to the table by the stainless steel spoon, and it was difficult for him to pull it out by himself.
Soon, with the clumsy help of the two subordinates, the stainless steel spoon was finally pulled out. Even so, Liu Zhendong let out two screams of pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Take the spoon back as a souvenir! Also, don't forget to settle the bill when you leave. You broke so many things, you have to pay for it!"
As he was leaving, Ye Cangtian dropped a sentence that almost made Liu Zhendong cry.
Not only did he not gain any advantage this time, but his hand was also severely injured, and he still had to pay for the restaurant. It made him feel like he was the unluckiest person in the world.
More than twenty people fled from the restaurant in a sorry state.
Only then did Liu Zhendong truly breathe a sigh of relief. Damn it, not only did he suffer a great loss this time, but he also lost all face.
"Boss, are we just going to let this go?" one of the subordinates, clutching his thigh and sweating profusely from the pain, felt somewhat indignant.
"Otherwise? Are you going to get revenge?" Liu Zhendong turned back and questioned.
"I..." The subordinate was immediately speechless.
The other party had so easily dealt with more than twenty of them. If he went to seek revenge, it would be no different from seeking death!
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and then reminded, "But we took money from Young Master He!"
Liu Zhendong gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Do you dare to mention that kid He Chuan again? We are in this state because of him. It's already considered good that we haven't troubled him!"
...
In the restaurant!
The waiters were already cleaning up the damaged tables and chairs in the hall, while Ye Cangtian and Xiao Yurou were still sitting there.
"Miss Xiao, you haven't eaten anything yet, have you? Is the food not to your liking?" Ye Cangtian asked while continuing to eat.
"I... I don't have an appetite. You eat!" Xiao Yurou forced a smile. After experiencing such a thrilling event, it was a miracle if she could eat.
Especially thinking of the blood that had spilled all over the floor, the smell of blood still lingered in the air, making her feel nauseous.
On the other hand, Ye Cangtian acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to eat and drink as if nothing had occurred, which made Xiao Yurou feel both amused and exasperated!
She hesitated for a moment, then finally couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Mr. Ye, what exactly did you do before?"
Ye Cangtian finally finished eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and after a burp, he smiled and said, "I was just an unemployed wanderer before, without a proper job. Why is Miss Xiao asking this?"
"It's nothing!" Xiao Yurou managed a smile.
She naturally didn't believe Ye Cangtian's answer, as the mystery surrounding him had only increased in the past two days.
First, he had easily helped the elder of the Tang family to remove the poison, solving a problem that even her teacher couldn't solve. Her teacher even praised Ye Cangtian for having a great future.
Then came Ye Cangtian's astonishing performance today, easily taking down over twenty troublemakers.
This was definitely not something an ordinary person could do!
Therefore, Xiao Yurou was becoming increasingly curious about Ye Cangtian!
After finishing his meal, Ye Cangtian lit another cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at the pensive Xiao Yurou, and said with a slight smirk, "Miss Xiao, I told you before, don't be curious about me, or you'll fall in love with me later!"
Xiao Yurou was speechless. Just as she thought this person was incredibly mysterious and had risen in her estimation, he immediately became indecent.
It was impossible for her to fall in love with him!
Let alone the fact that Ye Cangtian was her best friend Tang Xinwan's fiancé. Even if he wasn't, he was not her type.
Suddenly, two police officers walked into the restaurant.
"Who reported the crime just now? I am Xu Weiwei, the captain of the First Detachment of the Changning District Criminal Investigation Team!"
Earlier, Liu Zhendong had led more than twenty people to barge into the restaurant, not only scaring away many guests but also prompting the service staff to secretly call the police.
However, by the time the police arrived, the matter had already passed, and even Liu Zhendong and his group had left.
"Beautiful police officer, what a coincidence! We meet again!" Ye Cangtian called out from afar, extending his hand.
Xu Weiwei was inquiring about the situation from a waiter. Upon hearing a familiar voice, she looked up and saw Ye Cangtian smiling brightly, and her teeth clenched fiercely, "It's you again!"
She was truly exasperated!
Today, after finally going out on a police call, she had run into Ye Cangtian.
And when she saw this guy, she had a premonition that the events that had happened in this restaurant were definitely related to him again.
Soon, after understanding the situation, Xu Weiwei took a deep breath and looked at Ye Cangtian with a huff, "Ye Cangtian, what do you have to say for yourself this time? You've only been quiet for a few days! And you're causing trouble again!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled at this, exhaled smoke rings, and said with a smile, "Beautiful police officer, don't blame me for this. I was just having a meal with a friend, and those guys suddenly came up to cause trouble."
Xu Weiwei frowned. The information she had just received was the same! It was clear that she still couldn't find any fault with this guy this time.
However, she believed that this guy was definitely not a good person! Otherwise, how could he have so many enemies? Otherwise, how could one person beat up more than twenty thugs?
She was trying to find an excuse to take this guy back to the police station for further investigation.
However, at this moment, the walkie-talkie in her pocket crackled to life.
"Major bank robbery incident on Huaihai Middle Road, please all police officers proceed to the scene of the incident for assembly!"
