"Damn it, who is it? Who dares to call me a sick cat? Today I'll cripple his hands and feet!" Already seething with anger, Tiger Brother couldn't tolerate someone daring to step on him!
Seeing Tiger Brother's fury, the blonde youth's eyes showed a hint of smugness. He pointed at Chen Fan and said, "Brother Hu, it's this kid. He's the one who beat us and called you a sick cat!"
Tiger Brother followed the blonde youth's gaze towards Chen Fan.
However, as soon as Tiger Brother saw Chen Fan's face, his expression froze, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
The blonde youth, oblivious to Tiger Brother's unusual reaction, continued to stoke the flames. "Brother Hu, this kid doesn't respect you at all. We have to let him know the price of arrogance. Let's cripple his hands and feet later and make him a cripple for life."
"As for that beauty, Brother Hu, look how beautiful she is. We were preparing her for you. After you're done playing with her, when you're tired of her, you can let us brothers have a taste."
"Slap!"
As soon as the blonde youth finished speaking, a loud slap echoed.
The blonde youth clutched his face, stunned, and looked at Tiger Brother beside him in disbelief. "Hu, Brother Hu, why, why are you hitting me?"
Tiger Brother's face was full of rage. "You blind dog! Do you know why I'm hitting you? Do you know who they are? You're trying to get us killed! I haven't lived enough!"
The blonde youth was bewildered, and everyone around was stunned.
This wasn't going according to plan at all! Wasn't Brother Hu supposed to deal with Chen Fan? Why did he hit his own man?
"Brother Hu, they're just two people eating at a roadside stall. What are they? You, you must have mistaken them!" the blonde youth retorted, covering his face, refusing to believe that people eating at a roadside stall could have any significant background.
Tiger Brother glared at the blonde youth and said coldly, "You want to know who they are? Fine, I'll tell you."
"These two, one is Dr. Chen, and the other is Dr. Qin. They are both the saviors of Brother Xiong's wife and child! You tell me, what are they?"
He had just suffered a defeat at Chen Fan's hands today. Mistaken identity? How could that be possible!
Boom!
The blonde youth and his companions were struck by lightning, instantly petrified, their mouths agape in shock.
Just hearing the name Brother Xiong made the legs of the blonde youth and the other three tremble uncontrollably.
Savior of Brother Xiong's wife and child?! They immediately felt a chill creep up from the soles of their feet to their hearts, their bodies trembling.
"Dr. Chen, Dr. Qin, I didn't expect us to meet again. It's quite a coincidence," Tiger Brother, too annoyed to bother with these clueless idiots, quickly and respectfully approached Chen Fan and Qin Shuran.
Tiger Brother now wished he could find a piece of tofu to smash himself to death. He had offended these two ancestors this afternoon, and now his subordinates had offended them again tonight.
If Brother Xiong found out about this, he would probably be skinned alive on the spot!
Chen Fan and Qin Shuran exchanged glances. They hadn't expected this Tiger Brother to be the same one from the hospital today. Chen Fan smiled and said, "Brother Hu, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
Upon hearing the address, Tiger Brother's legs went weak with fear. "Dr. Chen, please call me Xiao Hu. I can't bear to be called Brother Hu."
Seeing Tiger Brother's demeanor, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Was this still the terrifying Tiger Brother who struck fear into people's hearts? The Tiger Brother who would smash shops and send people to the ICU at the slightest disagreement?
"Xiao Hu? I wouldn't dare. You just called me a sick cat, and your subordinates were about to cripple my hands and feet. How could I dare?" Chen Fan said playfully.
Tiger Brother then looked at the blonde youth and the other three, his face turning cold. "Why are you all standing there like idiots? Hurry up and apologize to Dr. Chen! If Dr. Chen doesn't forgive you, I guarantee you won't see tomorrow's sun!"
The four youths trembled, their bodies shaking as they approached Chen Fan. The ruthless expression on their faces had long vanished, replaced only by fear.
"Dr. Chen, we, we know we were wrong. We, we didn't know you were the savior of Brother Xiong's family. If we had known, we wouldn't have dared to offend you even if you gave us a hundred more chances!" the blonde youth stammered, apologizing to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan pointed to the bowl of ice jelly and asked, "What about the cockroach in the ice jelly?"
The blonde youth nervously glanced at Tiger Brother.
Tiger Brother roared, "Damn it, hurry up and tell me, or I'll cripple you!"
"It was us, we brought the cockroaches ourselves, intending to extort money from the shop owner." As he spoke, the blonde youth took out a glass bottle from his pocket, which contained several live, squirming cockroaches.
"So the cockroaches were brought by them!"
"It's not easy for a woman with a child to run a business. They used such despicable means to extort money. What shameless beasts!"
"They're worse than beasts. People like them deserve to be taught a lesson."
"I wonder how their parents raised them to be such shameless individuals."
"I can't believe I was siding with these thugs earlier. I was truly blind to believe these hoodlums!"
When everyone learned that the proprietress had been framed, a chorus of accusations erupted from the crowd.
The blonde youth and the other three lowered their heads, not daring to meet the angry gazes around them.
"Damn it, using such despicable methods! Kneel down and apologize!" Seeing that the blonde youth had incurred the wrath of the crowd, Tiger Brother kicked the blonde youth's leg.
"Ouch!"
The blonde youth fell to his knees. Seeing this, the other three youths didn't dare to stand and quickly knelt down as well.
"Proprietress, we know we were wrong. We were blinded by greed. We shouldn't have framed you. Please, please forgive us!"
The proprietress's face was cold, and she held her daughter, saying nothing, clearly still harboring resentment.
"Dr. Chen, we know we were wrong. We'll never dare to do it again." The blonde youth looked at Chen Fan and Qin Shuran again.
"And Dr. Qin, we were just joking with you earlier. Please don't take it to heart."
Chen Fan sneered. He knew he wouldn't let these youths off easily. If it hadn't been for Tiger Brother's arrival, or if Tiger Brother didn't know him, would this youth have realized his mistake?
Chen Fan said, "I can give you a chance."
The blonde youth and the other three immediately looked overjoyed.
However, before the blonde youth could express his gratitude, Chen Fan added, "Eat all the cockroaches in your bottle, and then you can leave."
"Ah?!" The joy on the faces of the blonde youth and the other three froze. They looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.
