The bald man chuckled triumphantly, "President Tang? Haha, I never realized you were a boss, beautiful lady!"
"Being a boss is great, I've never had a female boss before!"
"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep today, doesn't that mean I can hit a double tonight!"
With a strange cry, the bald man lunged at Tang Qi like a wild dog.
"Ah!"
Tang Qi was, after all, a woman, and the sight terrified her, causing her to retreat incessantly.
But she was wearing high heels, and in her panicked retreat, she stumbled backward.
However, she didn't fall, because someone held her shoulders from behind.
At the same time, a steady voice sounded by her ear.
"Leave this to me."
Upon seeing the person behind Tang Qi, Li Bingbing was stunned.
She exclaimed, "Wu Tian? How could it be you?"
She hadn't seen Wu Tian earlier, so his appearance at this moment was undoubtedly extremely surprising to her.
The bald man also stopped abruptly upon seeing Wu Tian, then said darkly,
"Kid, who do you think you are?"
Wu Tian had initially believed Tang Qi could handle the situation, so he hadn't intended to intervene.
But seeing that Tang Qi was struggling, he had no choice but to step in.
He looked at the bald man and said calmly, "Apologize to these two ladies, then leave."
"Everyone is eating here, don't spoil their appetites."
The bald man was taken aback, and the other diners were equally astonished.
Who was this young man?
It wasn't just his sudden appearance, but how dare he speak like that?
His casual tone was as if he were saying: I don't want to fight you, so please leave voluntarily. Otherwise, you will die a terrible death.
After snapping back to reality, the bald man's expression grew even more somber.
His gaze seemed capable of killing Wu Tian.
He said menacingly, "Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"
"Do you really think the weapons we have are just for show?"
"Let me tell you, this has nothing to do with you. You'd best not meddle."
"Don't come crying to me when you get chopped!"
Facing the bald man's ferocity, Wu Tian's tone remained calm.
"I'll give you one more chance. Apologize, leave, and don't cause trouble for yourself."
Li Bingbing, standing nearby, was almost dumbfounded.
She knew Wu Tian was standing up for her, but was this direct approach really wise?
Seeing Wu Tian dare to speak such words in front of so many people, the bald man's temper flared.
Fueled by alcohol, he didn't say another word, snatched a cleaver from a nearby table, and swung it down at Wu Tian!
"Ah!!!"
No one expected the bald man to suddenly attack.
Instantly, sharp screams echoed through the restaurant once more.
Li Bingbing and Tang Qi, the closest women, were so frightened they closed their eyes.
But after a few seconds passed, they found nothing was happening and opened their eyes again.
The scene before them left them utterly stunned!
The bald man's cleaver hadn't landed because Wu Tian's hand had firmly grasped the blade.
While the cleaver wasn't exactly sharp enough to cut through iron, with a bit more force, it could easily chop through ribs.
But Wu Tian had caught it with his bare flesh – how was that even possible!
The bald man was also startled by this, and as he prepared to pull the cleaver back, Wu Tian suddenly grabbed a basin of scalding hot soup from a nearby table!
Then, without any hesitation, Wu Tian poured the entire basin of hot soup directly onto the bald man's head!
"Ah! Ah!"
The hot soup flowed down the bald man's face, and he let out a piercing scream before collapsing onto the ground.
"Boss!"
The other thugs were startled and rushed towards the bald man.
The bald man pushed them away and roared, "Don't mind me! Kill him! Hurry and kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the thugs no longer paid attention to the bald man.
They charged at Wu Tian with their cleavers.
In Wu Tian's eyes, these thugs were like ants, posing no threat whatsoever.
Without even exerting much effort, he had them all subdued.
"This..."
The skill Wu Tian displayed left everyone present speechless.
Wu Tian walked up to the bald man and said indifferently, "Hey, can you apologize now?"
The bald man trembled. Faced with Wu Tian's overwhelming display, how could he dare to cause any further trouble!
He scrambled to his feet and bowed profusely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I won't dare again, I will never dare again!"
Wu Tian didn't expect these men to truly repent, so he simply said, "Now get out!"
The bald man, fearing Wu Tian would continue to trouble him, saw Wu Tian telling him to leave as a great favor.
He meekly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes," and without daring to glance at Wu Tian again, he hurried away.
After a brief silence, the restaurant erupted in thunderous applause!
At this moment, all the diners stood up and cheered for Wu Tian with genuine appreciation!
Wu Tian smiled at them and then turned to Li Bingbing, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Li Bingbing looked at Wu Tian with a complex gaze, filled with surprise and admiration.
She hadn't forgotten that Wu Tian was a doctor, yet he was so skilled in combat, and also handsome and wealthy!
What woman wouldn't like a man like this?
She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, thank you so much, Wu Tian."
Tang Qi also stepped forward and said, "I'm truly sorry you had to encounter such a situation."
"After this incident, I will thoroughly reform the restaurant to ensure such things do not happen again."
Li Bingbing didn't say much about this, as, ultimately, Tang Ren Cuisine wasn't entirely to blame for such an incident.
Since the matter had been resolved smoothly, it was best to leave it at that.
Tang Qi had intended to treat Li Bingbing to a meal as compensation, but after what had happened, Li Bingbing had lost her appetite.
She politely declined Tang Qi's offer, and then they all left.
Tang Qi had planned to drive Wu Tian and Li Bingbing home, but she received a call about an important company meeting.
So, out of necessity, Tang Qi had to leave by taxi.
However, she did leave the Mercedes-Benz for Wu Tian.
