Chapter 787 -324 Anecdote of the County Town (Break until tomorrow’s update, proceed with caution)_2

Peng Xiaoyong really thought this fat guy was the brother of the delinquent girl from before, so he said, “She hit me first.”

“I’m her brother. I just want to take my sister away, nothing more,” Peng Xiaoyong said.

The fat guy frowned, looking impatient: “You think you can just take her away because you say so? Who do you think you are? And you hit my sister?”

“She hit me first!” Peng Xiaoyong said.

“She hit you, so you hit her back? A grown man fighting with a young girl, isn’t that embarrassing?” Those words were originally something the fat guy’s teacher told him when he was in school.

Now that he was saying it to someone else, he did feel pretty smug.

Peng Xiaoyong said, “Anyway, I just want to take my sister away.”

“If you won’t let me leave, I’ll call the police!”

“Go ahead, make the call and see what happens,” the fat guy sneered, looking at Peng Xiaoyong out of the corner of his eye.

Peng Xiaoyong wasn’t about to back down. He pulled out his phone, ready to call the police.

The fat guy didn’t expect him to actually call 110.

Without thinking, he reached out and knocked the phone out of Peng Xiaoyong’s hand: “You seriously dare call the cops?”

“…?” Peng Xiaoyong was stunned.

Just as he looked up, the fat guy slapped him across the face.

“You think hitting my sister is something you can explain away by calling the cops?”

The fat guy was a few years younger than Peng Xiaoyong, but he was the kind of person who spent his days loafing around, always looking for trouble. Someone like Peng Xiaoyong, a bookish type, was no match for him.

Seeing how weak Peng Xiaoyong’s fighting ability was, the fat guy became even more aggressive.

“I’m asking you—how are you going to settle the matter of hitting my sister?”

The fat guy shoved Peng Xiaoyong hard as he demanded more answers.

By this time, Peng Xiaoyong had been out of the private room for a while.

Oddly enough, no one seemed to have noticed. Lu Wanting was still singing over there.

Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing were sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing.

After singing two songs, Lu Wanting suddenly felt bored and remembered Peng Xiaoyong.

She asked Zhou Yuwen, “Hey, where’s your cousin?”

Zhou Yuwen shook his head, “I don’t know.”

Lu Wanting muttered, “Strange, he’s been gone for so long, what could he be doing?”

Saying that, she thought of calling Peng Xiaoyong, but his phone didn’t connect.

Zhou Yuwen saw this and said, “Should I go out and look for him?”

“Never mind, I’ll go check. I need to go to the restroom anyway. I’ll see if he’s outside,” Lu Wanting said.

With that, she headed out.

Su Qing said, “Cousin-in-law doesn’t know her way around here. Could she get lost?”

“How could she? She’s not a child,” Zhou Yuwen said amused.

Su Qing replied, “You’d better go check anyway. It’s really chaotic around here.”

“…”

A proper girl would indeed find places like KTVs, billiard halls, and internet cafes to be chaotic.

Zhou Yuwen thought she was right and decided to go take a look too.

Lu Wanting and Zhou Yuwen stepped out one after the other.

Lu Wanting was the first to find Peng Xiaoyong. She had barely walked a few steps when she saw Peng Xiaoyong cornered in the hallway by several people. The fat guy was even hitting him.

Lu Wanting saw this and immediately frowned, shouting, “What are you guys doing?!”

Though her voice was loud, Lu Wanting was inherently soft-spoken.

Everyone looked up to see a beautiful figure push through the crowd and run to Peng Xiaoyong’s side. Noticing a deep slap mark on Peng Xiaoyong’s face, her frown deepened as she angrily turned to the bald guy: “How can you be so rough? Do you even respect the law here?!”

People from her hometown tended to speak with a regional dialect, and Lu Wanting’s speech had a soft, sing-song quality.

This kind of tone might seem normal in a big city, but in a smaller city, it could come across as amusing. The fat guy even grinned and joked, “Beauty, what’s your relationship with him? You care about him that much?”

Lu Wanting, being someone with a strong sense of justice, wanted to reason with the fat guy.

But Peng Xiaoyong didn’t want her to see him in such a humiliating situation. Knowing that these people were nothing but trouble, he stepped in front of Lu Wanting and said, “This has nothing to do with her.”

Peng Xiaoyong wanted to fool Lu Wanting into leaving, saying he had some matters to deal with here, and told her to take Liu Yilin and leave.

Lu Wanting, though worried about Peng Xiaoyong, sensed something was off and thought of calling the police.

So she pulled Liu Yilin’s hand, intending to walk past them.

But the fat guy suddenly stretched out his arm, blocking their way.

Lu Wanting stared at the fat guy nervously.

The fat guy laughed and asked, “Did I say you could go?”

“What do you want!?” Peng Xiaoyong demanded.

“What do I want? Hmph.”

The hallway was relatively empty, but the situation was already uncomfortable. The bald guy, clearly up to no good, said, “This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go back to the room and chat.”

He waved his hand as he spoke.

Peng Xiaoyong and the others didn’t understand what he meant.

The delinquent girl with yellow hair, however, caught on quickly and said, “What the hell are you guys waiting for? My brother told you to get to the room!”

She came forward and grabbed Lu Wanting.

Lu Wanting, accustomed to the civility of modern society, was startled when a grimy girl tried to grab her.

Naturally, Peng Xiaoyong wanted to protect his girlfriend and stepped forward to stop her.

But he ended up being shoved again.

“Ugh!”

At the far end of the hallway, there were about eight or nine people tangled up in a scuffle.

Zhou Yuwen, following behind Lu Wanting, found that she was faster than he expected and was already out of sight.

Just as he was about to call Peng Xiaoyong to ask where he was, he turned and saw the commotion in the hallway.

He also noticed his cousin Peng Xiaoyong looking disheveled.

Zhou Yuwen cleared his throat, but no one paid attention.

So he loudly knocked on the nearest private room door, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Lu Wanting’s face lit up with surprise when she saw Zhou Yuwen: “Yuwen!”

“Another one?” the bald guy muttered.

Zhou Yuwen noticed that not only was Peng Xiaoyong being cornered, but his cousin Liu Yilin was also there. Her school uniform even had signs of being torn.

Frowning deeply, Zhou Yuwen stepped through the crowd and approached Liu Yilin, asking, “Who did this?”

Liu Yilin glanced at the delinquent girl with yellow hair.

Following her gaze, Zhou Yuwen saw the yellow-haired delinquent, who surprisingly showed no fear and even defiantly tilted her head: “What are you looking at, huh?”

“…?” Zhou Yuwen’s gaze, though not threatening, carried an intimidating aura that made the yellow-haired girl feel uneasy. She quickly hid behind the fat guy.

Now closer, Zhou Yuwen noticed Peng Xiaoyong had also been beaten.

Peng Xiaoyong, who had initially tried to stand tall, now appeared slightly hunched, with blood clearly visible at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Yuwen had wanted to deal with the arrogant yellow-haired delinquent first.

But as he stepped forward, she quickly darted away.

The fat guy then stepped forward as if to block Zhou Yuwen, standing in front of him with an imposing stance.

Though the fat guy seemed bulkier than Zhou Yuwen, Zhou Yuwen simply smiled. Despite being only eighteen years old, Zhou Yuwen had an air of refinement, dressed in a suit and wearing an expensive watch.

Calmly, Zhou Yuwen removed his watch and said, “Was it you who hit him?”

“What a stupid question. If I didn’t hit him, who did?” the fat guy scoffed, dismissing Zhou Yuwen’s actions as pretentious.

Zhou Yuwen handed his watch to Lu Wanting, asking her to hold it for him.

He said, “You didn’t know he’s my relative?”

“So what? Who do you think you are?”

“Listen, I’m warning you—if you mess with me, I’ll beat you no matter who you are!”

The fat guy crossed his arms, then pointed at Zhou Yuwen’s chest with one finger, trying to intimidate him.

But just as he extended his finger, Zhou Yuwen swiftly grabbed it and twisted.

“Ah!”

The fat guy instinctively bent over in pain.

Zhou Yuwen then delivered a sharp slap.

The slap landed with full force, sending the fat guy crashing against the narrow KTV hallway wall.
