Zhou Qian said, "Ever since I left the city, I haven't come here to shop in ages."
"I want to buy clothes, let's go to the mall."
Wu Tian nodded, and walked into the lobby with Zhou Qian.
But just then, a girl's scream caught his attention.
He turned his head towards the source of the sound, and at the same time, his brow furrowed slightly.
On the left side of the lobby, a man reeking of alcohol was blocking a waitress.
The waitress looked to be in her early twenties, and was quite pretty.
Facing the man who was blocking her, the waitress's face turned slightly pale with fear, her slender legs trembling, almost unable to stand.
"Hehehe, beautiful, you're so pretty."
"I've taken a liking to you, why don't you come out and have some fun with me?" the hooligan said with a smirk.
The waitress kept backing away, saying fearfully, "Sir, please let me go, please."
But since the hooligan had set his sights on the waitress, how could he easily let her go?
He smiled again and said, "Beautiful, why are you so scared? I'm not going to eat you."
"Aren't you working here just to make money?"
"Alright, brother has plenty of money. How about you spend the night with me tonight, and I'll give you two thousand yuan?"
The waitress kept shaking her head, saying, "No... I don't want to... please spare me."
"I just want to do my job properly, I don't want to do that kind of thing..."
The hooligan was determined to have his way with the waitress today, so he kept pestering her.
Seeing this, Zhou Qian also felt indignant and couldn't help but spit, "Tsk, what a beast!"
Wu Tian had always been a warm-hearted person, so he naturally couldn't stand by and watch such a thing.
But just as he was about to step forward to help, a man in his thirties walked up and pushed the hooligan away.
The man was wearing a plain long gown and looked quite dignified.
He said to the hooligan, "Please stop your actions and leave this place."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The hooligan was naturally arrogant, and after drinking, he became even more fearless.
He looked at the man in the long gown and slurred drunkenly, "Who, who are you?"
"I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with you. You'd better not meddle, or I'll beat you!"
The man in the long gown faced the hooligan without fear, and said firmly, "Today, I must protect this girl. I will not let you harm her."
"Damn it, you bastard, you're looking for death!" the hooligan roared, then swung his fist and charged at the man in the long gown.
The hooligan was quite sturdy.
When he punched, he was like a wild bull, as if he could easily knock down the man in the long gown.
But the man in the long gown didn't dodge at all. Just as the hooligan's fist was about to hit him, he suddenly made a slight move, directly deflecting the hooligan's fist!
Then, his hands directly wrapped around the hooligan's arms, and with a forceful push, the man immediately staggered back several steps and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but be stunned.
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that the man in the long gown had practiced martial arts.
No wonder he dared to step forward to save someone, he had such a foundation!
After being knocked down by the man in the long gown, the hooligan naturally felt unwilling.
He cursed under his breath, then got up and charged at the man in the long gown again.
In front of someone who practiced martial arts, if one only relied on brute force to win, the chances of victory were almost negligible.
The man in the long gown easily blocked the hooligan's hands and then swept them away.
In the blink of an eye, rapid short punches struck the hooligan's chest.
These short punches didn't seem to have much power, but the force of each punch actually penetrated the hooligan's body.
The hooligan trembled continuously, and his steps also kept retreating.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, let out a groan, and fell down again.
"Good!"
Seeing this, many onlookers cheered for the man in the long gown.
"So it's Wing Chun..." Wu Tian also murmured softly.
The man in the long gown was indeed using Wing Chun, a style created by a woman, which, like Tai Chi, emphasized overcoming the strong with the soft.
And the person who popularized Wing Chun was Bruce Lee's master, the national hero Ip Man!
The man in the long gown had no intention of pressing his advantage. He looked at the hooligan coldly and said, "I'll give you a chance. Leave now and stop harassing others."
"Otherwise, I won't let you off."
The hooligan had been beaten in public, how could he endure such humiliation!
He pointed at the man in the long gown and said with a ferocious expression, "Good! You have guts!"
"You just wait for me!"
"I'm telling you, this matter is not over today!"
After shouting, the hooligan quickly took out his phone and made a call: "Hey, brothers, someone's causing trouble for me, come down here!"
Hearing this, the waitress's expression changed drastically.
She quickly said to the man in the long gown, "Sir, thank you for helping me, but please leave quickly!"
"I've seen their people, there are more than ten of them."
"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later!"
But the man in the long gown was clearly a very righteous person, and he was not intimidated by the waitress's words.
He shook his head and said, "Girl, I can't leave."
"If I leave, your fate tonight will surely be unimaginable."
"Don't worry, with me here, it'll be fine."
The hooligan sneered at the man in the long gown, "You're acting, keep acting, I don't know what you're so proud of!"
"If I don't cripple an arm later, I won't be able to make a living on the streets!"
As soon as the hooligan finished speaking, the doors of two elevators opened, and indeed, more than a dozen thugs rushed out.
These thugs were all sturdy and exuded an aura of aggression, clearly indicating they were frequent fighters.
And the man in the long gown, as expected of a martial artist, did not show any signs of retreat even when facing so many thugs.
The hooligan said fiercely, "You dog, if you're smart, kneel down and kowtow to me now, and I'll consider it an apology!"
"I still want to have some fun with that little beauty today, and seeing blood might affect my mood!"
