"You have money, but our Boss is richer than you. He's here hitting people, clearly not giving our Boss any face. This matter cannot be resolved with money," the Young Man said, growing more arrogant as he spoke, as if their Boss were one of the Four Heavenly Kings from back in the day.
The Foreigner sitting on the ground saw someone causing trouble for Fei Hu and shouted even louder, attracting the attention of customers sipping coffee. Ye Xiaofei's eyes widened as she sternly said, "Don't overstep your bounds. I don't care who your Boss is, but I'm here drinking coffee. If I am attacked, you are responsible for it. As for him, he completely deserves it; we are acting in self-defense."
"We only saw him hitting someone; we didn't see anything else," the Young Man replied stubbornly.
Yingzi, standing nearby, got angry and shouted, "We hit someone? Call the police! Why should we go with you? You really think you're something special? Ignore them; let's go." Yingzi said while giving Fei Hu a knowing glance.
The Foreigner on the ground quickly got up when he saw a fight about to break out and disappeared from sight. Fei Hu stood tall and charged out. Seeing Fei Hu coming at them aggressively, the Young Man called out, and four people rushed forward, aiming directly for Fei Hu's wrists. They thought it would be simple; if they controlled Fei Hu's hands, everything would be fine. However, controlling Fei Hu's hands was not that easy. With a swift motion, Fei Hu flipped his hands from underneath and slapped their hands away.
Fei Hu bent down slightly, exerted force with his arms, and shouted to move. The two Young Men obediently stumbled back and ended up crawling under a table. A few customers clapped in unison upon witnessing Fei Hu's impressive skills. This sudden turn of events changed the atmosphere entirely. The remaining two reached out but suddenly felt a sharp pain in their necks and collapsed; it turned out Yingzi had struck them both with a palm strike.
In an instant, all four of them lay sprawled on the ground. Yingzi gestured for a retreat, leading the way while Fei Hu covered their backs and Ye Xiaofei walked in between them as they strode confidently outside.
At the entrance of the café stood over ten waitstaff pushing and shoving each other, but none dared to step forward. In truth, they were just putting on a show; this had nothing to do with them, and besides, approaching would only get them hurt.
Fei Hu and Yingzi escorted Ye Xiaofei out of the café. Just as they were about to hail a cab, suddenly more than ten Young Men armed with iron pipes surged toward them from behind, dressed in ragged clothes. Fei Hu's heart sank; it was hard to tell which gang these people belonged to based on their attire.
Fei Hu glanced at Yingzi, who shook her head in response, indicating she didn't recognize them either. At that moment, Ye Xiaofei raised her voice intentionally high: "We're leaving! If they cause any more trouble, I'll call the police!"
"Hahaha! Missy, don't scare us! With how pretty you are, saying such things is quite hurtful," a man in his thirties with a shaved head and a somewhat scrawny build stepped forward. His shifty eyes darted between Fei Hu and the others like a thief.
At this moment, it was time for a man to step up—Fei Hu was no exception. He took a step forward and fixed his gaze on the bald man, sizing him up from head to toe. The bald man felt a chill run down his spine under Fei Hu's scrutiny and quietly asked, "What's wrong? You haven't seen me before? I'm Bald Zhang."
Fei Hu snorted and said, "Let's get to the point. Why are you following us? It can't be a farewell, right? If that's the case, then forget it; we don't need it."
"Haha, little brother, you really are bold and skilled, completely disregarding us. It seems my name, Bald Zhang, isn't loud enough. So tonight, I have a favor to ask of you. If you can walk back, please help me spread the word. And which lady was talking about calling the police earlier? I think it's better to let that go; by the time the police arrive, we should be done here," said the man who called himself Bald Zhang with a forced smile.
Fei Hu signaled to Yingzi to protect Ye Xiaofei, indicating that he would handle things here. Yingzi understood and nodded before stepping back slowly.
"Zhang Ge, which two women are trying to slip away?" a young man said to Bald Zhang as if seeking credit.
Bald Zhang shot him a glare and scolded, "We just need to take this kid back; do you still want to rob women? You're really an uncalculated fool; seeing a woman makes you forget everything, huh?"
Hearing this, Fei Hu was overjoyed. As long as they didn't make things difficult for Ye Xiaofei, he had no worries. He shouted loudly, "If you want to keep me here, let's see if you have the ability!"
"Good! I like tough guys like you. Then let's not be chivalrous; we'll just gang up on you," Bald Zhang said as he waved his hand, and more than ten of his men charged forward.
They were armed, which put Fei Hu at a disadvantage. Before they could get close, Fei Hu shouted and leaped into the air. His left palm drew an arc in the air while his right palm shot out like lightning. An unfortunate guy collided right into him and was pushed back several steps by Fei Hu's strike, stumbling and eventually sitting down.
With one blow delivered, it was somewhat intimidating. Bald Zhang's men were momentarily stunned; no one dared to charge forward again. Fei Hu was not someone who would miss an opportunity. He crouched down quickly and swept his right leg along the ground with a whoosh. Two guys standing in front of him fell to the ground with a thud.
Bald Zhang finally snapped back to reality after a while and shouted loudly, "Go! Everyone go! We're ganging up on him! You bunch of brats are hesitating because of some sense of loyalty? If that's the case, then there won't be any money for you this time..."
Before Bald Zhang could finish his sentence, he felt a tight grip around his neck and was lifted off the ground. He kicked his legs wildly and managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat: "Spare me... brave man..." looking extremely pained.
Fei Hu shouted, "Drop your weapons; otherwise, I'll break your boss's neck!"
Seeing their leader captured, the group immediately lost their morale and hurriedly dropped their weapons on the ground before retreating obediently to the side. Only then did Fei Hu release his grip. After catching his breath for a moment, Bald Zhang turned to Fei Hu and clasped his fist in salute, saying, "Little brother, let's go! Brothers recognize fate; if worse comes to worst, we can just stop doing this."
Fei Hu suddenly softened and asked softly, "What's going on? Can you tell me in detail?"
Bald Zhang looked at the crowd of onlookers in the distance and suddenly shouted, "Get lost, all of you!" To his surprise, this shout was quite effective, and the spectators quickly dispersed.
Yingzi protected Ye Xiaofei and, seeing that there was nothing going on with Fei Hu, hailed a taxi and got in to leave. She knew Fei Hu's skills; if Ye Xiaofei was present, it would not only be of no help but might even hinder him.
Bald Zhang smiled a bit awkwardly at Fei Hu and said, "Hey! I have a bit of a reputation around here, so the local Boss found me and asked me to help her out. Of course, she pays us for it, but since we are friends in this line of work, there’s usually not much trouble. Today she returned from Hong Kong and invited everyone to dinner. I was there too, but unexpectedly, something happened, so I had to put down my chopsticks and rush over."
As Bald Zhang spoke, he pointed to the café next door. It turned out that the café was right next to a Restaurant. He seemed to be telling Fei Hu that they had just been eating there, which explained how he could arrive so quickly.
Fei Hu noticed that Bald Zhang didn't seem like others who were involved in this line of work; his subordinates were timid and hesitant. Even though they clearly had weapons, they didn't dare charge forward. He couldn't help but ask, "Your people seem amateurish. Bringing them out is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"
"Good eye! You're absolutely right. We usually do manual labor. When something like this happens, I bring them out to scare off the opponent. If we can settle it, then the money is ours; if not, we just run away. It's not worth risking anything for this money. People like you are really rare," Bald Zhang said with a smile.
Fei Hu pondered for a moment. If the café's Boss wanted to see him, why not let her? After all, she was a Movie Star, and many people would want to meet her but couldn't. This opportunity had come up; he should take advantage of it. Besides, if he went back with Bald Zhang, wouldn't that mean he completed his task as well? He could get paid too—this was a win-win situation.
"Alright, take me to meet the local Boss. I don't believe she can do anything to me," Fei Hu suddenly said to Bald Zhang.
Upon hearing this, Bald Zhang's face lit up with joy. He whispered, "She's a woman and actually quite timid; she just relies on her wealth. Don't worry; she won't dare do anything to you; she just wants to show off a bit."
After listening to him, Fei Hu smiled as he already had a plan in mind.
