Chapter 7

The leading gangster shouted, "Shut the hell up, what are you all talking about? Didn't you hear me telling you to get lost!"

"Hey~!" A young man behind the gangster whispered something in his ear, and then he turned to look at the main table, instantly grinning and said, "I didn't expect to see you here, kid."

"Ah! Brother Hai, hello." Wang Lisheng stood up somewhat evasively.

"I'm not doing well, didn't expect to run into you here. When are you going to pay back the money you owe us? Have you thought about it yet?" Brother Hai stepped forward, slapping Wang Lisheng's face as he asked.

"Brother Hai, I'll pay, I'll pay! Just give me a few more days, a week, and I'll pay you back." Wang Lisheng said, somewhat frightened.

"Ha ha! A week, that's not what you said at the gambling table! Didn't you say your dad has money? Go ask him for it!" Brother Hai said with a wicked smile.

"Ah? That, that..." Wang Lisheng stammered. His father did have money, but it wasn't his. He had owed Brother Hai several hundred thousand yuan from a mahjong gambling session, and he was already worried about how to pay it back. He didn't expect to run into them even while having a meal.

"Hey! Your girl?" Brother Hai saw Gong Hui tugging at Wang Lisheng and his eyes gleamed with an unknown light.

"Brother Hai, Brother Hai! That..." Wang Lisheng quickly shouted.

"Listen, if your girl spends a day with me, I'll give you a week's extension. How about that?" Brother Hai's eyes were full of wicked desire!

"No! No!" Gong Hui screamed as Brother Hai's hand reached out to grab her arm.

"Brother Hai, no, Brother Hai, no!" Wang Lisheng shouted but made no move to stop him, just shouting with his mouth while his body remained still. He had been so arrogant when entering the restaurant, but seeing Brother Hai, he turned into a good boy, making all the classmates present feel embarrassed.

His actions also drew a contemptuous laugh from Brother Hai and the few young men who had come in with him. Gong Hui was pulled to his side, and just as he reached out to touch her, a beer bottle flew from above and hit him straight on the head: "Crash!" The glass bottle shattered, and beer mixed with blood flowed down his head.

Since everyone's attention was on Gong Hui and Brother Hai, they were all stunned when they saw Brother Hai hit by the beer bottle, not expecting someone to throw a beer bottle at him. However, due to the angle, no one noticed who threw the bottle, not even Brother Hai's henchmen.

"Who? Which bastard! Step out! Damn it! If you don't step out, I'll have everyone beaten until you do!" Brother Hai's head was hard, and despite being bloodied, he didn't fall. He turned and shouted at the people around him, truly a formidable gangster!

The beer bottle was thrown by Chen Mo. Although he looked down on Wang Lisheng, the class monitor and Gong Hui were innocent. He didn't expect these people to come in and start causing trouble, ruining a good class reunion. They were truly despicable.

Seeing Brother Hai still shouting, a few young men also pulled out steel pipes and swung them at the classmates. Chen Mo picked up another beer bottle and threw it directly at Brother Hai, shouting, "Throw beer bottles!" Although he hadn't practiced martial arts for years, his aim was still accurate, hitting Brother Hai on the head again. Dealing with gangsters was really not difficult.

Suddenly, all the classmates reacted, and all the male students picked up beer bottles from the tables and threw them at the gangsters, causing them to scream in pain. Each table had about ten beer bottles, whether empty or full, and they were all thrown in a frenzy. Two of the gangsters were hit on the spot, and the others didn't fare much better.

Chen Mo charged forward, snatched a steel pipe from a young man, and hit him on the back, immediately knocking him to the ground. He couldn't use too much force, or he might kill someone. Although he didn't know any techniques, his strength and speed were overwhelming, and none of the gangsters could stand up to him. A few hits with the steel pipe, and they were all on the ground.

Seeing Chen Mo charge forward, Li Rui and the others also shouted and charged, leading all the male classmates to surround and knock down the gangsters. The smart ones only protected their heads, while the foolish ones tried to protect every part of their bodies, but ended up protecting nothing.

A few female classmates also quietly stepped forward and kicked a few times, making Chen Mo sigh. These gangsters were truly boring, coming here to show off. Didn't they know that students are the most easily provoked? With nearly 70 people, excluding the elderly, sick, and weak, there were still about 30-40 people. Coming here to show off, they deserved to be beaten for their lack of judgment!

Brother Hai was already happily knocked out, so he had no idea what Chen Mo was thinking. If he knew, he could only say, "My fault!"

"Stop, stop!" The class counselor saw the situation getting chaotic and all the gangsters on the ground, so he shouted, fearing someone might be killed. These students didn't know their own strength.

Gradually, everyone stopped, and they saw all the gangsters covered in blood, but fortunately, none had serious injuries, just surface wounds.

"Class monitor, call 110. Remember, when the police come, we all say it was self-defense. Don't worry about anything else, just tell the truth," the counselor said after consulting with a few teachers.

There were no surveillance cameras on the second floor, so they had to unify their stories. The hotel owner, seeing the situation, pretended not to hear, but the students had acted in self-defense after all.

Seeing the gangsters lying in the glass shards, no one reached out to help, and everyone felt a sense of satisfaction. This was the result of being too arrogant!

The police arrived quickly and were also a bit overwhelmed by the scene on the second floor. Moreover, a vice-principal from the school also arrived, notified by the counselor.

Under the joint witness of both sides, after understanding the situation, all the students were released as if nothing had happened.

This incident was clearly provoked by Brother Hai, and it wasn't the fault of the others. Besides, being arrogant was one thing, but being arrogant in front of dozens of students was another. Didn't they know that students were at their most passionate and easily provoked? With someone leading the charge, it was easy to overwhelm a few gangsters.

As for Chen Mo, who threw the first beer bottle, he explained his reasons, saying he couldn't let a bad person bully a female classmate. He threw the beer bottle to stop Brother Hai from bullying Gong Hui.

Well, with many students testifying, the matter of Chen Mo throwing the first beer bottle was dropped. It wasn't exactly heroic, but it made him memorable to all the classmates. No one expected the usually quiet and somewhat isolated Chen Mo to be so helpful.

"Chen Mo, thank you today!" Gong Hui said to Chen Mo, while Wang Lisheng stood far away, not wanting to face Chen Mo because he was embarrassed. He didn't expect to be humiliated today.

"Don't thank me. Anyone else would have done the same. We're classmates, and we can't just stand by and watch a girl being bullied without helping. That's not what a man should do!" Chen Mo said calmly.

"I didn't expect you to be so chivalrous, but thank you. Without your help today, I..." Gong Hui suddenly didn't know what to say and paused.

"Let's not talk about it. You should go. Someone is waiting for you!" Chen Mo said with a smile, not wanting to continue the conversation, so he urged her to leave.

"Alright, see you!" Gong Hui nodded, turned, and left, but what they were thinking in their hearts was known only to the two of them.
