In this tense standoff, Lin Fan seems unusually calm. There is no tremor or panic in his voice, but rather an experienced calmness. Facing a character like Donghu, Lin Fan does not show any sign of retreat, but engages in dialogue in an almost equal manner.
"Mr. Donghu, although we have not met before, the scene today must be a misunderstanding," Lin Fan said with a confident tone, his gaze falling on the weak figure in the wheelchair, showing a subtle and barely noticeable sympathy on his face.
"We, 'Passing Through the Night,' are just a small bar. My daughter and I are just ordinary proprietors and servers, and have never been involved in the matters you mentioned," said Lin Fan, his words seeming to imply some deeper meaning. His eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if hinting that the accusation was unfounded for them.
Lin Fan then continued with a more sincere tone, "We feel sorry for this misunderstanding. Tonight, let's make amends by gathering over drinks. Let us offer a few good drinks to Mr. Donghu and all the brothers. Tonight, everything will be taken care of by 'Passing Through the Night.'"
His words carried a gentle and sincere sense of mediation, as if he was trying to find a solution that both sides could accept. Lin Fan had a smile on his face, but there was a subtle tension and alertness in his eyes.
Donghu's expression, however, was completely different. His smile was full of playfulness and mockery. He walked slowly towards Lin Fan, each step seeming calculated. His gaze seemed to be scrutinizing Lin Fan, searching for flaws in his words. A mischievous smile played at the corner of Donghu's mouth, as if implying that he had his own plans for the situation.
"Old man, you speak so lightly," Donghu's voice was full of provocation, "But tonight, we didn't come here to drink and chat." His words revealed a kind of cold and undeniable threat, showing that he would not easily accept Lin Fan's reconciliation suggestion.
Donghu's actions were extremely arrogant, he did not hide his arrogance and pride. After pulling out a chair, he sat down across from Lin Fan in a leisurely manner, speaking contemptuously with a smirk. His tone was full of provocation: "I, Donghu, have always been fair in my actions, and I had my own investigation before coming here. But today, I'm here to seek an explanation."
He casually propped his legs up on the table, displaying a brazen attitude. His crossed legs swayed as if to show his disdain for everything here. This domineering behavior heightened the tension in the bar, as if the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Chen Yi watched all this from the side, feeling increasingly furious at these people's unwarranted intrusion and disrespect towards Lin Fan. Especially when Donghu mentioned the assassination of his brother, Chen Yi almost couldn't help but act. But at this critical moment, a look from Lin Wanqing made him restrain his impulse. Lin Wanqing's eyes carried a warning and caution, as if telling Chen Yi that it was not the time to act.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire bar became even more oppressive. Donghu's arrogant attitude, Lin Fan's calm response, and Lin Wanqing's restraint all intertwined in this tense air, creating a complex scene. Although Chen Yi was filled with anger and confusion, he knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and observe the situation.
Donghu's commanding voice echoed in the cramped bar space, his threats and anger almost tangible, each word carrying a chilling and unquestionably serious tone. With his command, the atmosphere in the bar instantly changed from the previous warmth and harmony to a battlefield filled with violence and danger.
His men, a group of burly men holding sticks and other weapons, quickly formed a tight encirclement. Their eyes flashed with fierce light, as if ready to execute any command from Donghu. The aggressive and hostile aura of these henchmen suddenly increased the pressure in the entire space.
In the wheelchair, the younger brother was slowly pushed in front of Donghu under his careful care. A rare glimpse of tenderness was revealed in Donghu's eyes as he gently stroked his brother's head, showing his deep affection for the family. But when he turned to Lin Fan and Chen Yi, that tenderness was immediately replaced by intense anger. His voice was filled with rage and threat: "If you dare to cause trouble on my turf, you will pay the price for it!"
Lin Fan faces the threat of Donghu with his usual calm and composure. His eyes shimmer with a wise light, seemingly searching for a solution to this deadlock. His attitude is peaceful and cautious, attempting to ease the crisis through dialogue.
Chen Yi, on the other hand, is more emotionally charged. His fists are clenched, and his face is filled with anger and dissatisfaction. Faced with Donghu's unreasonable intrusion and threat, he feels a strong will to resist. His whole body is tense, ready to respond to potential conflict.
Lin Wanqing appears even calmer and more composed. There is no fear in her eyes, only firmness and a cool analysis. She observes the surroundings, seemingly calculating every possible variable and preparing to deal with any sudden event.
As the tense atmosphere reaches its peak, Lin Wanqing suddenly breaks the silence. She lets out a deep sigh, as if releasing inner pressure. Then, she slowly raises her hands, displaying a resigned and accepting posture.
Lin Wanqing's voice carried a hint of weariness and resignation: "Alright, alright! You caught me." Her words were not excited, but instead revealed a sense of calm and acceptance.
Under Lin Wanqing's sudden surrender, the atmosphere of the whole scene underwent a subtle change. Donghu and his men appeared somewhat stunned, as if they had not anticipated this outcome. Their gaze focused on Lin Wanqing, attempting to understand her sudden behavior.
