Chapter 112: Do Me a Favor

Wang Qi shivered. He was no fool; he understood perfectly well what Xiao Sa meant. However, glancing at Lin Shuyu nearby and noticing the crowd of onlookers, he gritted his teeth, determined to make one last attempt. After all, to be scared off by a single sentence would be humiliating. It would have been better to just stay hidden and act like a coward from the start.

Damn it, just one last word. If they still refuse, I'm out of here!

Suppressing his fear, Wang Qi spoke slowly: "Brother Xiao, Boss Zhou, I only hope that, for the sake of my father, you will show some leniency toward my friend. I will personally host a few tables later to offer my sincere apologies."

Xiao Sa and Zhou Teng exchanged a glance, then suddenly sneered. "Heh, Wang Qi, is it? Are you deaf? If you have the guts, say that again."

Wang Qi replied anxiously, "Brother Xiao, please, don't be angry, I only..."

"I told you to say it again, damn it!" Xiao Sa suddenly stood up, his aura as fierce as a tiger descending from the mountains, catching Wang Qi off guard and leaving him stunned.

Zhou Teng chuckled from the side. "Brother Xiao, don't be so loud. Don't you know this kid's father is Wang Wei? He’s even had dinner with you before. If he comes knocking later, it’ll be a nuisance."

Xiao Sa dismissed him with a contemptuous laugh. "His father? His father is worth nothing! I remember that dinner, but it was organized by someone else. His old man was just there for a free meal, pouring drinks and fawning over everyone the whole time—he didn't dare say a word!"

Xiao Sa looked at Wang Qi. "Are you a complete moron? Your father actually has some sense and knows his place, so how did he end up with a naive fool like you?"

"Forget it! I'll do his father a favor, since he poured my drinks well enough, and teach his son a lesson for him."

As soon as Xiao Sa finished, the burly men surrounding them stepped forward, clearly intent on beating Wang Qi.

"Hey! You dare to hit people in broad daylight?" Chen Yingying cried out, clearly agitated. "Stop! If you move any closer, I'm calling the police!"

Lin Shuyu, standing nearby, was shocked that Chen Yingying dared to speak up in such a situation and quickly pulled her back. "Yingying, have you lost your mind from drinking? Why would you say that now?"

It was too late. With Chen Yingying's loud outburst, everyone’s attention turned to her, especially the men.

Xiao Sa frowned, ready to bark a command, but Zhou Teng’s eyes lit up with a wicked grin. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. These two young ladies are actually quite pretty. Did this idiot bring them along? Come, come over here and have a few drinks with me and Brother Xiao. If we're in a good mood, we might just spare this moron."

Xiao Sa chuckled at Zhou Teng's words and gestured with his hand. Several men walked toward Lin Shuyu and Chen Yingying.

Regret finally washed over Chen Yingying. Terrified, she backed away, exclaiming, "Hey! What do you want? Get lost, stay away from me! My father is the owner of the Chen Family Supermarket chain. If you dare touch me—"

"Hahaha, the owner of a supermarket chain?" Zhou Teng laughed boisterously. "A grocery store owner and you think you can use that name to scare me? Today, I’ve truly seen it all."

Xiao Sa sneered, "Young people these days really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Fine, let's play the good guys for once and discipline them on behalf of their parents."

The thugs approached with cold, mocking smiles. They were in no rush; these girls would surely be divided between their bosses, and they wouldn't get a taste. But for now, teasing them and perhaps getting a little physical was a perfect way to pass the time.

Lin Shuyu remained silent, her face drained of color.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out and stood firmly in front of Lin Shuyu.

"Xiao Sa, is it? And this 'Boss' whatever-your-name-is. Do me, Hong Yu, a favor. I don't care about the others, but you are not to lay a finger on my wife!"

Hong Yu’s tone was icy, his gaze fixed directly on the sofa.

The moment he finished, the noisy crowd fell silent, staring at Hong Yu in utter disbelief. Xiao Sa and Zhou Teng were stunned for a moment, but then they looked at Hong Yu as if he were a complete idiot.

"Hahaha, interesting. This is fucking hilarious!"

"What is wrong with young people today? Do they leave their brains at home when they go out?"

"Who the hell are you? Why should I do you a favor?"

"Oh, looking out for your wife? How touching. But here's the thing: I’m taking your wife with me today, and I’m going to treat her very well!"

Zhou Teng roared with laughter, and Xiao Sa shook his head in amusement. In their eyes, Hong Yu was clearly just panicking and spouting empty threats, hoping to scare them off. But they were men who had weathered countless storms; they wouldn't be intimidated by such amateur tactics.

Besides, at least Wang Qi had a father he could try to hide behind.

"Who do you think you are? I hadn't even noticed you before, but now that you've stepped forward, are you looking for a death wish?"

"Looking at you, are you from out of town? You dare to be this arrogant on my turf? You're asking for it."

Xiao Sa spoke, but Hong Yu remained perfectly calm. "I may not be much, but in my eyes..." He paused, then added with a smile, "You're not much of anything either. I advise you not to push me."

"Oh god! Has Hong Yu lost his mind?" Wang Qi felt his legs go weak from fear. "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Previously, Xiao Sa and Zhou Teng were only targeting Zhang Yi and the two women. Although Wang Qi had spoken up, they had ignored him, likely out of respect for his father. But now, things had changed. With Hong Yu’s reckless arrogance, the situation had spiraled out of control.

Lin Shuyu trembled, "Hong Yu, stop talking nonsense. If you keep this up, they won't let us go." She was touched that he stood up for her, but his approach was like pouring gasoline on a fire. She didn't want to drag him down with her.

"Wuwuwu—" Chen Yingying burst into tears. "Damn it, I was already unlucky enough, why did I have to run into a lunatic like Hong Yu? I’m going to be killed by this idiot sooner or later. Can't you keep your mouth shut, you coward?"

Hong Yu shot a cold glance at Chen Yingying. *You bitch, if you weren't my wife's cousin, you'd be the first one I'd deal with!*
