"When did I say that?"
As Bai Suxiang was trying to deny it, the man continued to approach.
"You stop right there! Otherwise, otherwise I'll immediately accuse you of harassment and indecency!"
The man paid no mind to such empty threats. If he wanted to shout, he would have done so earlier, what was the point of waiting until now?
His claim of indecency was merely a threat, as such a cry would completely expose Bai Suxiang. But seeing the man about to get close, Bai Suxiang panicked, closed her eyes, and shouted,
"Liu Sandao! Come quickly!"
Liu Sandao, who was still contemplating a strategy, suddenly heard his name being called and realized something must be wrong.
In an instant, he was downstairs, rushing to Bai Suxiang's side.
His speed was so great that many people didn't even know how he appeared there. Of course, none of them paid attention, otherwise they would have thought they saw an immortal.
The drunk man, completely unaware of what was happening, was struck in the face before he could even react.
"Bang!" "Ouch!"
He was thrown against a door, and the private room door immediately swung open.
This was deliberately caused by Liu Sandao using the drunkard to break it down, achieving two goals at once.
"Bang!"
"You dare harass my girlfriend, today I'll make sure you pay dearly!"
Liu Sandao shouted at the man lying on the ground.
The private room door opened, revealing two people inside: Zhao Hui and Wu Guozheng. However, there was nothing on their table.
Upon hearing the word "girlfriend," Bai Suxiang's heart skipped a beat. Sensing it was Liu Sandao's voice, she opened her eyes.
By now, Liu Sandao had already knocked the drunkard to the ground.
"Hurry up and take pictures, and hand him over to the authorities!"
Hearing Liu Sandao's instruction, Bai Suxiang fumbled with her phone.
The drunkard, battered and thrown around, had most of his alcohol dissipated. He quickly got to his feet and, upon seeing the people behind him, shouted,
"Brother Hui, is that you? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Hui recognized the man as somewhat familiar but couldn't recall who he was. However, at this moment, Wu Guozheng felt the most awkward.
He sat there, unsure whether to look or not to look.
To avoid drawing attention, he eventually turned his head away.
Seeing Zhao Hui and the drunkard, Bai Suxiang naturally captured them both in a photo, with Wu Guozheng also included.
The moment Bai Suxiang started taking pictures, the drunkard realized what was happening and immediately yelled,
"Damn it, don't you know where you are, or who you're messing with? This is Brother Hui, the big shot of Sandong City!"
This greatly angered Zhao Hui. It was like poking a sore spot, didn't he see who he was with?
This was truly bad luck today; if important matters were delayed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the man shouted, "Stop right there!"
Bai Suxiang, paying no heed, continued to snap photos with her phone.
This action angered the drunkard, who feared Bai Suxiang would actually hand him over to the authorities.
He casually flipped over the table in the private room. Wu Guozheng, who had intended to turn away, was forced to dodge the commotion and ended up facing the door.
Bai Suxiang's phone didn't stop, perfectly capturing the faces of Zhao Hui and Wu Guozheng.
"Harassment and still so rude, let's see how the authorities deal with you!"
Liu Sandao deliberately said this, his body quickly moving closer to Bai Suxiang. If the man were to harm Bai Suxiang, he could intervene in time.
At this critical juncture, Zhao Hui seemed to recall something and said to the drunkard,
"Listen to me, let's just let this go. Apologize to them, and this matter will be settled."
"How is that possible? This is..."
The drunkard had expected Zhao Hui to give him some face and allow him to save it. But to his surprise, Zhao Hui was asking him to apologize. He was a million times unwilling.
Seeing the drunkard dawdling, and realizing this would delay things, Zhao Hui immediately snapped,
"Damn it, are you..."
The drunkard looked at Zhao Hui's fierce gaze and furrowed brow. His drunkenness had long since vanished, and he had no choice but to say to Bai Suxiang, "I'm sorry! Please delete the photos."
Delete the photos? How could that be possible? After all the trouble collecting this evidence, just delete it?
He thought this matter would be over with an apology, but no one expected it to drag on.
"What if I don't delete them?" Bai Suxiang mumbled.
"Don't delete them, if you don't delete them, then don't leave here!"
The drunkard's words were still somewhat defiant.
To a normal person, it would seem trivial to delete photos of people they didn't know. Was she going to keep them as souvenirs?
Wu Guozheng seemed to have some suspicions and whispered a few words into Zhao Hui's ear.
Zhao Hui seemed to realize something and asked, "Who are you?"
Liu Sandao spoke up first, "I'll delete them, watch carefully, I'll delete them!"
Saying this, he snatched Bai Suxiang's phone. "Enter the password, open it, and just delete the photos, right?"
Bai Suxiang looked at Liu Sandao with a reluctant expression, signaling that this was not acceptable, as the evidence would be gone.
Liu Sandao understood her meaning, but given the current situation, he feared Bai Suxiang might be exposed.
After all, she was part of the struggle in Sanshui Village. If Zhao Hui recognized her, there was no way she could leave here normally today.
Although Bai Suxiang was extremely unwilling, under Liu Sandao's insistence, she entered her phone password.
Liu Sandao, with ease, demonstrated to the drunkard how he was deleting the photos one by one. Finally, he was satisfied.
Zhao Hui spoke, "Alright, you can go now!"
Seeing Liu Sandao delete the photos, Bai Suxiang felt a bit dejected. It meant this stakeout had failed. To gather evidence, she would have to wait for another opportunity, but now that she was exposed, would it be as easy next time?
Liu Sandao deleted them with great effort, showing them to the man as he deleted them, saying, "Look at this one, this one, and this one, hey, there are no more behind these!"
Bai Suxiang found his actions particularly detestable.
Before she could recover, Liu Sandao pulled her upstairs.
Holding her phone with the deleted photos, Bai Suxiang looked at Liu Sandao dazedly, inwardly blaming him for deleting the pictures.
At this moment, a waiter arrived with the dishes.
"Sir, your dishes have arrived."
"I'm sorry, we have a sudden matter. Could you pack these dishes for us to take away?" Liu Sandao asked politely.
"This? ... Yes, you can."
The waiter hesitated for a moment but then agreed. She couldn't understand why they would pack up freshly cooked food without eating it.
However, in the service industry, the customer is king. If the king wants to eat, he eats; if he wants to leave, he leaves, as long as the payment is made.
"Why aren't we eating here before leaving?" Bai Suxiang said, a little displeased.
"Let's go first, I'll tell you later!"
