The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 162: The Food Stall Incident
Chapter 162: Chapter 162: The Food Stall Incident
Ye Chenfeng spoke these words without much thought. In fact, the reason he was so good to Han Chuxue might just be because Han Chuxue looked very much like his girlfriend from his past life, Luo Xueqi!
However, Ye Chenfeng did not want to admit this to himself because it would be unfair to Han Chuxue.
"Can you stop calling me a freak, a hooligan? Where am I a freak? Where am I a hooligan? If you’d like, you can call me Chenfeng, or just Ye Chenfeng."
A warm current rose from the bottom of Han Chuxue’s heart. She silently repeated the sentence ’Do I need a reason to be good to you?’ and then unexpectedly gently called out "Chenfeng," making Ye Chenfeng feel as if his bones were going to turn soft.
Just as Ye Chenfeng was enjoying this sensation, a burst of cursing suddenly came from not far away.
Following the sound, they saw a group of six fierce-looking youths sitting at a table about five to six meters away from Ye Chenfeng. The leader of the group, known as Brother Long, was a local thug who bullied the weak and feared the strong, living off the protection money collected from the owners of street stalls.
With a toothpick dangling from his mouth, Brother Long was holding the wrist of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She was a student at a nearby high school, her family was very poor, and her mother was bedridden, so she worked part-time after school every day.
The girl had an oval face with delicate features, resembling a real-life doll, but at the moment, her face was pale and her body trembled uncontrollably facing Brother Long.
"You spilled all the soup from your dish onto me, and my clothes are a branded piece worth over thirty thousand yuan! How are you going to compensate me?" Brother Long held on to the girl’s wrist, his fingers kneading the smooth skin of her arm.
Like a frightened bird, the girl still mustered the courage to say, "Just now, just now you deliberately tripped me. How can you be so unreasonable?"
"You want to reason with me, Brother Long?" Brother Long stood up from his chair and, with a "clatter," directly overturned the table in front of him, shouting, "It looks like this place doesn’t need to do business anymore."
The owner of the eatery, hearing the commotion, quickly ran over. Upon seeing that it was Brother Long, he put on a smile and asked, "Brother Long, who upset you? Is it this girl? I’ll have her apologize to you."
"Ptui." Brother Long spat the toothpick in his mouth onto the eatery owner’s face, cursing, "Is just an apology enough? These are branded clothes, and now either you pay me thirty thousand yuan, or let this girl spend the night with me."
The eatery owner’s face turned bitter. It would take him months of business to earn thirty thousand yuan! Moreover, the girl caught in Brother Long’s sights had nothing to do with him; she just worked there, so he quickly made a choice: "Brother Long, then let this girl spend the night with you!"
"That’s more like it! I, Brother Long, am always reasonable." Brother Long’s eyes swept back and forth over the girl’s chest and buttocks. With Brother Long’s experience of countless women, he could tell that this girl was still a virgin! He really struck it big this time and couldn’t wait to savor the taste of a young girl’s body.
"You can’t do this, you can’t do this." The girl was terrified, very aware of the meaning of Brother Long’s words. She looked to the dining customers around her for support, but nobody was willing to speak up for her.
"Chenfeng, are you really going to watch things unfold like this? Aren’t you going to take action?" Having called him "Chenfeng" for the second time, Han Chuxue did so much more naturally than before. As a woman, she was of course most disgusted by scoundrels like Brother Long. If her strength had been restored, she probably would have rushed up to kick Brother Long’s balls by now.
After stuffing a piece of beef into his mouth, Ye Chenfeng stood up from his chair and slowly walked in the direction of Brother Long and his group: "I think you better let go of her hand, or you will surely regret it later."
Ye Chenfeng held an unopened can of beer in his right hand, his face wearing an innocuous smile.
As Long Brother saw someone daring enough to interfere with his misdeeds, and a pretty boy at that, he laughed out loud from deep in his throat, "Hahaha, since when did pretty boys start playing hero? Get lost, or I’ll let you taste what it feels like to have a knife stabbed into your palm." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The diners around never expected Ye Chenfeng to stand up for the girl, as his physique didn’t seem all that impressive. Male diners, jealous that Ye Chenfeng had Han Chuxue, a stunningly beautiful girlfriend, started to disparage him one after another.
"This kid must be green! Long Brother is pretty famous around here, isn’t this just asking for trouble?"
"I think this kid is just trying to show off in front of his girlfriend. There’s going to be a good show soon, and I can’t wait to see him wailing on the ground."
...
In contrast, the female diners began praising Ye Chenfeng, the handsome young man who stood up for the girl.
"That’s a real man for you! Not like some guys who might as well be women since they’re no different once you take away what’s below."
"You only feel safe with a man like that. Some men only care about their own safety when danger comes, they’d even ditch their girlfriends!"
...
"Long Brother, this kid must be out of his mind. Should we step in and teach him a lesson?" the five underlings taunted, believing that dealing with someone like Ye Chenfeng would be a matter of minutes.
Ye Chenfeng seemed as if he hadn’t heard them, simply shrugged his shoulders. Then his expression changed, the smile vanished, replaced by coldness, "I thought I made myself clear enough? Didn’t you understand well enough? Let go of her wrist."
"Damn it, I see you’re really asking for it."
Long Brother cursed loudly from his throat, and just as he was about to take a swing, Ye Chenfeng moved faster. He grabbed Long Brother’s hair with his left hand and shoved the beer can in his right hand straight into Long Brother’s mouth. It felt like his whole mouth was about to burst, and the beer can, crumpled from the pressure, leaked the beer inside all over his mouth, occasionally spilling over.
Long Brother’s grip on the girl’s wrist slackened unconsciously; it wasn’t the time for hesitation. He knew this pretty boy in front of him was tough. He clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a punch at Ye Chenfeng’s cheek.
Ye Chenfeng easily caught Long Brother’s fist. With a "bang," he slammed Long Brother’s fist into the table like a palm. Immediately after, he picked up a wooden chopstick from the table and without hesitation, stabbed it into Long Brother’s palm. The fragile wooden stick became as sharp as a dagger in that moment, piercing Long Brother’s palm in an instant.
Veins bulged on Long Brother’s forehead. Unable to scream out loud because his mouth was stuffed with the beer can, he could only produce a muffled "uru uru" sound from his throat.
The five underlings ready to take action were intimidated by Ye Chenfeng’s onslaught, forgetting to move. It wasn’t until Long Brother, with great effort, spat out the beer can and screamed, "What the hell are you standing there for? Finish him off!"
The five ruffians quickly drew knives from their waists, but as they did, Ye Chenfeng had already grabbed five more chopsticks from the table and swiftly threw them at their palms. Without exception, the chopsticks penetrated their palms, and the knives they held fell to the ground with a "clang, clang." They squatted on the ground, crying out in pain.
At best, these people were just petty hooligans, nowhere near real gangsters. They could bully the average citizen, but the pain in their palms made them forget about messing with Ye Chenfeng.
