Chapter 251: Risking My Life to Keep You Company (Part 2)

"Boss Liu, if you don't follow my orders, do you want your restaurant to close down? If anything happens, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Seeing that Boss Liu actually refused to listen to him, Jin Kelai immediately threatened him.

"This…"

Boss Liu became a bit afraid. After hesitating for a moment, he said to his four security guards, "Let's go, we'll go inside the private room and take a look."

Boss Liu opened the door to the private room first and saw Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan eating. After seeing a bottle of cheap red wine and three ordinary dishes on the table, he secretly felt relieved.

This meal didn't cost more than three hundred yuan. He immediately concluded that Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan were just ordinary people and not rich or powerful. Helping Jin Kelai bully ordinary people shouldn't cause any trouble.

Boss Liu was a businessman who was usually good at reading people. Unexpectedly, this time he completely misjudged the situation. This wrong decision would bring him bitter consequences he wouldn't be able to swallow.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Lang slightly raised his head and looked at Boss Liu. In fact, he had heard everything Jin Kelai said to Boss Liu outside the private room and understood exactly what was going on, but he pretended not to know.

"I am the owner of this restaurant. Sir, you have injured Young Master Jin, which constitutes a crime. Now, I must detain you."

Boss Liu said directly to Zhou Lang. He ran a restaurant, and it was quite large in scale. Naturally, he was a man with some means and felt that bullying an ordinary person was no big deal.

In China, and even across the whole world, there are plenty of people who get full of themselves and think they are amazing as soon as they have a little money. This Boss Liu had made some money over the years and was exactly like that. Apart from fawning over officials and some underworld bosses, he generally didn't think much of ordinary people.

"Boss Liu, right? You aren't the police, nor are you from a law enforcement agency. Whether I have committed a crime isn't for you to decide, is it?"

Zhou Lang said coldly, "Regarding today's matter, you'd better not interfere. You only have the right to call the police. If you mess around, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"You broke Young Master Jin's hand, and that's not a crime?" Boss Liu sneered, "You hurt someone on my turf, so of course I have to detain you until the police arrive."

"If you think you have that ability, then you can try," Zhou Lang sneered.

"This brat is just a loser, yet he's so arrogant. Grab him!" Boss Liu was choked up by Zhou Lang's words. He waved his fat hand, and his four security guards walked out.

One security guard strode toward Zhou Lang, intending to grab his clothes.

But before the security guard could touch Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang picked up an extra chopstick from the table. His hand moved like lightning, striking the guard's abdomen. The guard instantly stood there motionless, as if someone had cast an immobilization spell on him.

The security guard's hand had already reached within a foot of the collar behind Zhou Lang's back. He remained in that posture of trying to grab someone, frozen in place. The distance between him and Zhou Lang was very close, yet it felt like a world apart; he would never be able to touch Zhou Lang.

"Ah Song, what's wrong? Why aren't you doing anything? Why are you just standing there like a fool?" the other three security guards asked curiously. "You're so big and tall, don't tell me you can't even handle one pretty boy?"

"I… I can't move… hurry and save me…"

The security guard known as Ah Song said with a pale face. His mind was clear at this moment, but his body wouldn't obey his brain's commands; he couldn't move at all, which filled him with immense fear.

"Ah Song, what time do you think it is to be joking around here? You can't move just because you were poked by a little chopstick? Do you want to get your salary and bonus docked?"

Boss Liu's expression changed as he spoke. Ah Song was someone who liked to play pranks, so at this moment, he still hadn't realized that Ah Song had truly been hit by Zhou Lang's Acupoint Striking.

"Boss… I… I really can't move… save me…"

Ah Song said with a mournful face. Others might not have paid much attention just now and therefore didn't see clearly how Zhou Lang had attacked, but he had seen that when Zhou Lang struck, it was so fast that it left an afterimage. He knew he had encountered a master, or perhaps a strange person.

"You guys, grab this brat and see what kind of trick he's pulling."

Boss Liu's expression changed, and he immediately gave the order. At this point, he realized that something was wrong. Zhou Lang had previously broken Jin Kelai's wrist; even without any powerful background, he was definitely a good fighter.

The other three security guards also realized that Zhou Lang was a tough nut to crack. The three of them formed a pincer formation and surrounded Zhou Lang. At this moment, they had no intention of underestimating the enemy; rather, they were extremely cautious. They didn't want to be struck by Zhou Lang and end up unable to move like Ah Song.

But their ability was limited, and no matter how careful they were, it was useless because in Zhou Lang's eyes, their strength was less than that of an ant.

Zhou Lang broke the chopstick in his hand into three pieces. Immediately, the three pieces of the chopstick flew out, each striking an Acupoint on the three security guards.

The chopsticks fell to the ground, and the three security guards were also hit by the Acupoint Striking, standing there motionless.

"Brat… you… what kind of Demonic Technique are you using?"

Boss Liu was terrified and pointed at Zhou Lang, but he didn't dare to step forward. Instead, he immediately retreated to the door of the private room. This guy was planning to run away as soon as anything went wrong.

"Boss Liu, your subordinates are really a bunch of fools." At this moment, Jin Kelai arrived at the door of the private room again. He had seen everything that happened. He was mocking Boss Liu, but he himself didn't dare to enter the private room. Zhou Lang had easily broken his wrist, and he had an internal fear of Zhou Lang.

"Young Master Jin, this brat seems to know evil arts. I think we should call the police."

Boss Liu said hurriedly. He was a businessman and somewhat superstitious. He worried that Zhou Lang really knew evil arts and would freeze him so he couldn't move, turning him into a vegetable. That would be troublesome. He felt he couldn't deal with Zhou Lang and could only call the police. Once the armed police arrived, even if Zhou Lang had some Demonic Technique, he wouldn't be able to use it.

"Why call the police? Catch him and teach him a lesson first. If he can't pay me a few million, I'll chop off his hands and feet and make him a cripple for life."

Jin Kelai sneered. Judging by the tone of this guy's words, it seemed he had really done such things before.

Hearing Jin Kelai's words, Boss Liu didn't dare to refute him at all, nor did he dare to take any further action against Zhou Lang.

Hearing Jin Kelai's words, Zhu Yan became even more worried, because she knew Jin Kelai must have called a large group of thugs to deal with Zhou Lang. Even if Zhou Lang was a good fighter, he couldn't beat dozens of people, could he?

"Are you worried that Jin Kelai called people from the underworld?"

Zhou Lang knew what Zhu Yan was thinking. He picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Zhu Yan's, and smiled.

"Yes, Brother Lang, although you have magical Acupoint Striking, a hero is no match for a crowd. Jin Kelai has connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world in Feiyun City."

Zhu Yan said with a worried expression, "Looking at Jin Kelai, he won't let us off today."

"In Feiyun City, there is no one in the officialdom or the underworld who can lay a hand on me. If I wasn't confident, I would have run away long ago. Why would I still be here drinking and eating with you so comfortably?"

Zhou Lang smiled.

"Since you are so confident, then I will risk my life to keep you company today."

Infected by Zhou Lang's calmness, Zhu Yan paused and then hardened her heart.

"It's not that serious. With me here, the ones who will be unlucky today are definitely this second-generation official Jin Kelai and this restaurant owner who acts as an accomplice to the tyrant."

Zhou Lang smiled.

The conversation between Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan naturally reached the ears of Jin Kelai and Boss Liu. Both of them were furious, but they could only stand at the door of the private room and didn't dare to enter at all.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan had finished eating.

"Jin Kelai, where are the people you called? If they don't come soon, I'm leaving."

Zhou Lang looked toward the door of the private room and said calmly to Jin Kelai.

Jin Kelai became anxious. If the people he called didn't come, he wouldn't be able to stop Zhou Lang.

Just at this moment, a burst of noisy footsteps came, and more than twenty people rushed over from the corridor.

"Xiaohu, Brother is here."

Jin Kelai immediately stepped back a few paces, retreating into the corridor. As soon as he saw the person leading them, he was overjoyed and shouted to the fat man in his twenties who was leading them, wearing a thick gold chain around his neck.

"Brother, I arrived in time, right? Is the person still in the private room?"

The fat man immediately rushed over with his people and asked Jin Kelai loudly. This fat man was none other than Brother Xiaohu, the nephew of Brother Wei, Duan Wei.

"Still inside the private room."

Jin Kelai nodded. With Brother Xiaohu bringing so many people, and each one of them being a tough man, he felt confident.

"Brother, how did your wrist get broken by someone? You're a master at fighting, what kind of person is the other party?"

Brother Xiaohu asked. This guy wasn't as arrogant and condescending as before because he had witnessed Zhou Lang's strength and had also heard his uncle, Duan Wei, talk about how some powerful masters had heaven-defying abilities, so he wasn't as reckless in his actions. If it were before, he would have definitely rushed in with his people without a word.

"Just a man who was fighting with me over a woman. I guess he might also be a doctor."

Jin Kelai said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't ask so much. First, rush in and grab the brat inside. That brat can indeed fight, so be careful and don't be careless. By the way, that girl I like, Zhu Yan, is also inside. Don't hurt her."

"Brother, you really are a man who cherishes women, but don't worry."

Brother Xiaohu chuckled and waved at his subordinates, saying, "You ten, follow me in. The other fifteen, guard the outside to prevent the person Young Master Jin wants to catch from running away!"

"Yes!"

Brother Xiaohu's subordinates responded in unison, with a very imposing Aura.

Originally, because of such a big commotion at the restaurant, many customers poked their heads out from their private rooms to see what was going on. But when they saw a large, dark crowd of thug-like people in the corridor, they immediately retracted their heads.

They knew that something major must have happened at the restaurant today, but this kind of matter was not something they could interfere with. Even watching could lead to being collateral damage, so they were terrified of being involved. After all, most people who came here to dine had no background.

Brother Xiaohu took the lead and entered the private room, but was instantly dumbfounded because he saw Zhou Lang, as well as four security guards standing there like sculptures.
