Lin Fan and Wei Yueâer were enjoying their delicious hotpot when two men with blonde hair, one tall and one short, swaggered in from outside. They looked like obvious troublemakers.
"Brother Hao, itâs great to see you!"
The middle-aged woman visibly delighted upon seeing the two hooligans, rushed over to them.
"Sister Chen, I heard youâve had some trouble, someone bullied you, who dared to do such a thing?" The tall Blonde Hair said, giving a cold glare around the room, truly exuding arrogance as he surveyed the entire place.
Most of the patrons in the restaurant were law-abiding citizens and wouldnât dare confront hooligans, so they all instinctively lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with Blonde Hair, fearing trouble.
At the same time, they felt a bit sorry for Lin Fan. This time, Lin Fan was in big troubleâa scenario that he shouldnât have intervened. While sympathizing with Lin Fan, they also felt secretly relieved.
The middle-aged woman, now emboldened with the backing of the Blonde Hair, said, "A young waitress spilled soup on my sonâs clothes. I want her to kneel and apologize, and pay for the clothes, but this little bitch refused!"
The tall Blonde Hair made an "oh" sound and said, "This... seems out of line, Sister Chen. You canât even handle a young waitress and need us for help?"
The middle-aged woman said, "Itâs only a little bitch, but someone stuck their nose in and defended her!"
Bang!
The tall Blonde Hair slapped the table, scanned the room, and chuckled, "Whoâs got such guts? Stand up and let me see!"
The middle-aged woman pointed her finger at Lin Fan, "Itâs that damn pauper!"
Lin Fan was calmly dipping food into the hotpot, and unlike the other patrons present, the entrance of these two Blonde Hairs didnât stir any emotion in him, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
Only when the middle-aged woman pointed at him did Lin Fan pause, look up, and smile slightly, "Well, youâre here."
The two Blonde Hairs had already put on an arrogant expression, ready to teach this clueless guy a lesson. Suddenly, seeing Lin Fan, their expressions immediately changed, showing surprise and a bit of panic.
"Hey, am I seeing things, is that him?" The tall Blonde Hair whispered to the short Blonde Hair.
The short Blonde Hair glanced at Lin Fan, "Itâs him, no mistake, itâs really him!"
The tall Blonde Hair immediately started trembling, almost scared out of his wits. Damn, it really is him!
The two Blonde Hairsâ reactions were strange, leaving everyone else puzzled. Everyone expected them to rush forward and teach Lin Fan a lesson, so what happened?
"Donât trouble him; itâs my fault. If you want to hit someone, hit me!"
At this moment, the young waitress, her eyes closed, rushed over and spread her arms to shield Lin Fan. She was so tense that she didnât notice the two Blonde Hairsâ odd behavior, fearing she would implicate Lin Fan. She finally mustered up the courage and ran out.
She closed her eyes, mentally prepared for a beating.
Bang!
Suddenly, a crisp slap echoed in the hotpot restaurant, and the entire place fell silent from the loud slap.
The young waitress, with her eyes closed waiting for a beating, heard the slap sound, her heart nearly jumped out.
Huh?
The young waitress found it strange, why didnât her face hurt? The crisp slap sound didnât seem to be directed at her?
Curious, she opened her eyes and was instantly dumbfounded.
The middle-aged woman in front of her had a side of her face swollen red. The tall Blonde Hair actually slapped the middle-aged womanâs face!
Everyone was stunned.
Including the middle-aged woman herself, who was slapped into a daze, momentarily forgetting the pain due to the sheer shock and surprise.
What the hell is going on?
"Bitch, over such a trivial matter, you dare to trouble us! Itâs just some soup on clothes, just wash it, no need to make the girl kneel and apologize, and pay compensation, have you lost your mind over money? Youâre just a shrew, this slap was just a little reward from Brother Hao, over this trivial matter, you want us to help you bully the little girl, you shameless wreck, I still have my pride!"
The tall Blonde Hair went on a tirade.
The tirade left everyone dumbfounded.
Is he a hooligan?
Is he really a hooligan?
A hooligan actually spoke in such a morally upright way; this doesnât match the hooliganâs identity!
Is there actually such a principled hooligan?
The middle-aged woman was petrified; she invited the Blonde Hair to deal with Lin Fan but ended up being scolded instead?
The middle-aged woman wanted to cry. What the hell is going on?
"Brother Hao, you..." the middle-aged woman spoke with a sob.
The tall Blonde Hair interrupted her, "What do you mean, you bitch, how dare you bully people like that, everyone is outraged!"
He then turned to the young man, "Take off your clothes!"
The young man shivered, dared not protest, quickly took off his clothes, and handed them to the tall Blonde Hair.
The tall Blonde Hair took the clothes and threw them to the ground, which was stained with juice brought by this family. The tall Blonde Hair stepped on the clothes, rubbed them on the ground a few times, and got them full of black stains, filthy.
After moving his foot, the tall Blonde Hair said, "Well, now these clothes are completely ruined, no matter how much you wash them, they wonât get clean. Do you want me to kneel and apologize, pay you for them?"
The middle-aged woman was heartbroken looking at the clothes but dared not ask Blonde Hair for compensation, smiling awkwardly, "Brother Hao, you must be joking, no way weâd make you pay."
The tall Blonde Hair chuckled, "There you go, you wonât make me pay, but you want the little girl to pay, what does that show, that youâre a coward, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Now, look, the good clothes are dirtied by a little soup, couldâve been washed, but now theyâre permanently soiled, all because of your fuss!"
The middle-aged womanâs face flushed red. She dared not speak.
The tall Blonde Hair pointed to the dirty clothes, told the young man, "Okay, pick them up and wear them."
The young man, looking at the filthy clothes, dared not put them on, burst into tears looking at the middle-aged woman, "Mom..."
The middle-aged womanâs face turned pale. She couldnât understand why Blonde Hair turned on them, holding back her frustration, "Brother Hao, what does this mean?"
The tall Blonde Hair raised his hand, "Nothing, just get him to put on those clothes; if not, Iâll slap you!"
The middle-aged woman, already slapped just now and still in pain, dared not take another slap, reluctantly told her son, "Put them on!"
The young man cried as he reluctantly put the filthy clothes on.
"Thatâs enough. Now your family should apologize to the young girl, pay the bill, and get lost. Donât disrupt the storeâs business!" the tall Blonde Hair ordered.
Despite her reluctance, the middle-aged woman dared not confront Blonde Hair, so the family went to the young waitress and apologized, bowing their heads.
"Sorry!"
"Sorry!"
Afterward, the middle-aged woman went to pay the bill, and the family left hurriedly, fearing Blonde Hair might mess with them further.
Watching all this, the entire hotpot restaurant fell into silence, everyone looking perplexed, utterly bewildered. What the hell just happened?
Though the outcome was gratifying, it was strange; could this be the proverbial case of evil meeting its match?
