"Big Sister-in-law!"
The other thugs immediately feigned a chorus of shouts: "Big Sister-in-law!"
"Who is your Big Sister-in-law!"
"If you dare to mess around again, I'll call the police!"
The girl's face was a mask of panic as she took out her phone, intending to call the police. However, the tattooed thug snatched it away and smashed it on the ground, shattering it into pieces.
"Call the police?"
"On my turf, you dare to call the police? Are you tired of living?"
"It's your good fortune that I fancy you. Come with me now, or I'll kill your mother!"
As the tattooed thug spoke, he kicked the middle-aged woman to the ground and roared menacingly.
"Let go of my mother!"
Seeing her mother being trampled on, the girl immediately lunged to save her, but was caught in the thug's embrace.
"Mmm... so fragrant, the scent of a virgin is truly alluring!"
The tattooed thug drooled shamelessly as he spoke.
"You... you scoundrels, let go of me quickly!"
Held tight by the tattooed thug, the girl struggled but her strength was too little to break free.
"Let you go? Of course. When we get to the bed, I'll let you go, but you'd better serve me well!"
The tattooed thug said with a laugh, having not encountered such a prime woman in a long time, his mind already filled with lust.
"Hey, you guys, can you stop delaying my meal? I've been waiting for over ten minutes!"
At this moment, Lu Yang, sitting at his seat, looked at the thugs and yelled coldly.
Upon hearing the voice, all the thugs turned their heads towards Lu Yang in unison. They thought everyone in the restaurant had been scared away, not expecting a single survivor.
"Kid, have you eaten the heart of a bear or the guts of a leopard? You dare to interrupt my good deed! Brothers, take care of this son of a bitch, break his teeth, and make him eat his noodles properly!"
The tattooed thug sneered and gave the order directly.
The other thugs immediately surrounded Lu Yang.
"Kid, don't you even look at this place before you butt in? This is our boss's territory, you're looking for death!"
"You want to play the hero saving the damsel, do you? I'll turn you into a bear!"
"Stupid idiot, acting tough in front of our boss, still wanting to eat noodles? Later, I'll make you eat our 'noodles' properly!"
As the thugs spoke, they swung the iron rods in their hands and lunged at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said nothing more, but grabbed his chopsticks and, with lightning speed, thrust them into the palms of these thugs.
"Ah..."
The thugs cried out in pain, and the iron rods in their hands all dropped to the ground.
The thug boss, who had been looking smug just moments ago, saw this scene and his expression instantly changed.
He shoved the girl aside, pulled out nunchucks from his waist, and imitated Bruce Lee's grunts while practicing. However, he hadn't handled the nunchucks well and hit himself on the head with one swing.
"With your level of skill, you dare to play with nunchucks? Were you sent by the Monkey King as an idiot?"
Lu Yang shook his head helplessly and kicked the thug in the chest, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Kid, you're finished! My boss is Mr. Liu Hui, the head of the Hongmen Jiangbei branch. If you hit me, you're hitting Mr. Liu Hui's face. Mr. Liu Hui will definitely not let you off!"
The tattooed thug glared at Lu Yang and roared fiercely.
"Mr. Liu Hui again!"
Upon hearing the name, Lu Yang was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Liu Hui's name to be so prominent in the Jiangbei City area, having clashed with his subordinates twice now.
"Go back and tell your damn Mr. Liu Hui that I'm going to Guoxing Hotel now for an auction. If he has the guts, he can find me there!"
"Also, from now on, this small shop is under my protection, Lu Yang. If anyone dares to cause trouble for them again, I'll break your legs!"
Lu Yang said coldly to the thugs.
"Kid, you just wait!"
The tattooed thug spat out a threat and left with his subordinates.
Lu Yang turned his gaze to the middle-aged woman and said with a smile, "Boss's wife, is my noodle ready yet?"
"You still want to eat noodles?"
"Do you know the huge trouble you've caused?"
"Brother Hao is the local overlord around here; no one dares to offend him. Now that you've beaten him up, you eat a bowl of noodles and walk away. How is my small shop supposed to operate?"
The boss's wife's expression instantly turned extremely cold as she looked at Lu Yang and said angrily.
"Boss's wife, that's unfair of you. If I hadn't intervened just now, your daughter might have been harmed!"
Lu Yang said speechlessly.
"Whether she was harmed or not is my business, what does it have to do with you?"
"Now that you've made things this way, you just wash your hands of it and leave. What about us two women? How can we withstand the wrath of Brother Hao and his gang of local ruffians?"
The middle-aged woman continued to press the issue.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Lu Yang was extremely speechless and asked the middle-aged woman in return.
"Give me twenty thousand. When Brother Hao comes, I'll use the money to settle things!"
The middle-aged woman continued.
"I helped you, and now I have to pay? What kind of world is this!"
Lu Yang shrugged, expressing his incomprehension.
"Mom, don't be like that. This young man saved me. What you're saying now is unreasonable!"
The girl quickly said to her mother.
"Reasonable? When this kid leaves, and Brother Hao and his gang come back, what then? Do you expect me to go and have a drink with Brother Hao?"
The middle-aged woman said coldly to her daughter.
"Mom, call the police now. When the police arrive and arrest them, you won't have to be afraid!"
The girl continued to say to her mother.
"Call the police? If calling the police were useful, they wouldn't have been so arrogant for so many years. They have connections in the police force too, so calling the police is useless!"
The middle-aged woman continued dismissively.
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the noodle shop. Meng Hongda got out of the car and said respectfully to Lu Yang, "Mr. Lu, shall we depart now?"
"Let's go!"
Lu Yang nodded, rubbing his rumbling stomach, hoping he could eat something first at the auction.
"Dr. Meng? Are you Dr. Meng?"
Seeing Meng Hongda, the boss's wife's daughter exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, it's me!"
Meng Hongda nodded.
"My father is gravely ill, can you extend a helping hand and save my father? As long as you save my father, I'm willing to be your servant!"
As the girl spoke, tears involuntarily flowed down her face.
"I'm sorry, Madam, but I have a very important matter to attend to!"
"Mr. Lu, let's go!"
Meng Hongda said directly, then looked at Lu Yang.
