Chapter 44

Bao Ge shouted, "Hey, buddy, are you不服气 (unconvinced) or just broke?"

Chu Tianshu replied, "Money, I have. But I really think asking for three thousand is a bit excessive."

Bao Ge said, "Buddy, from what you're saying, it seems like you feel wronged?"

"Of course I feel wronged," Chu Tianshu smiled. "Just touching through the clothes costs three thousand? That's way too expensive."

Bao Ge, upon hearing this, felt the tone was off and cursed, "What the hell do you mean by that?"

Hearing the guy's foul mouth, Chu Tianshu also got a bit angry and said, "Whatever you think I mean is what I mean."

"You really need a beating. Buddy, from the moment you came in, your eyes were all over the place. We've been watching you and you don't even have the decency to admit it. Not making you pay for mental distress is already being nice to you."

Chu Tianshu didn't hold back either, "Buddy, after all this, you guys are just trying to extort me, right?"

Bao Ge sneered, "Extort? What are you to us? If we extort you, it's because we respect you."

Chu Tianshu got even more angry, "Hey, buddy, watch your mouth."

"Ha ha," Bao Ge opened his mouth to Jiaojiao, grinning, "Jiaojiao, help me check, is my mouth clean?"

Jiaojiao laughed, "Yes, Bao Ge's mouth is very clean."

"Did you hear that? My mouth is very clean." Bao Ge laughed strangely and said menacingly, "Hurry up and pay up. I don't have time to waste with you. There are a few more buddies waiting over there."

This was a clear threat, implying they had more accomplices.

To his surprise, Chu Tianshu didn't buy it and said, "Since you're trying to extort me, I have to talk to you. How can you say her skirt was dirtied by me?"

At this moment, Ning Xin returned alone.

Wei Shijie said he was accompanying Ning Xin to the restroom, but in fact, he couldn't hold it anymore. As soon as Ning Xin went in, he vomited all over the sink.

"What's going on?" Ning Xin approached and asked Chu Tianshu.

"Wow, what a pretty girl," Bao Ge whistled excitedly.

Ning Xin frowned, ignoring Bao Ge's nonsense, and asked Jiaojiao, "What are you doing?"

Jiaojiao said fiercely, "Your friend dirtied my skirt. I want him to pay."

Ning Xin looked down and smiled disdainfully, "Pay? Sure, how much can a skirt like this be worth?"

"Ha ha, three thousand? You make it sound so easy," Ning Xin took a step back, sneering, "It looks like a street stall item, at most three hundred."

Jiaojiao got upset and rushed to Ning Xin, shouting, "Why do you say it's a street stall item?"

Ning Xin smiled coldly, "If you don't believe me, I'll go with you now. There are stalls on the square bridge selling them."

Hearing this, Jiaojiao pouted, "Ah, Shuang Ge is trying to fool me with a street stall item. I'll find him." She turned and walked away.

"Ha ha, you guys are really trying to extort us," Chu Tianshu clapped his hands in delight.

Bao Ge pounced in front of Ning Xin, staring at her menacingly.

Ning Xin showed no fear and said coldly, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful girl?"

Bao Ge was about to explode, thinking Ning Xin was easy to bully. He tried to scare her but found she didn't take him seriously. He leaned in, fuming, "Oh, little girl, you're quite bold. Just because you're cute, you can be so arrogant, huh?"

"Get lost," Ning Xin shouted.

Bao Ge was furious, pointing at Ning Xin and cursing, "Damn, you little bitch..."

Before he could finish, something shocking happened.

Ning Xin suddenly moved, wrapping her arms around Bao Ge's neck and delivering a heavy knee to his stomach.

Bao Ge, caught off guard, bent over and let out a pig-like scream.

Ning Xin then grabbed his hair and pulled him down, causing his face to collide with the table.

With a thud, blood gushed from Bao Ge's face.

Ning Xin's movements were swift and precise, the entire action completed in an instant.

By the time Chu Tianshu pulled Ning Xin away, Bao Ge was already disfigured.

Ning Xin let go, looked at Bao Ge's bloodied face with disdain, and turned to take a tissue from a box, carefully wiping her hands as if she had just touched something dirty.

Impressive skills. Chu Tianshu watched Ning Xin's actions and secretly admired her. Her fingers were slender and fair, and it was hard to imagine that these hands could be so capable.

Seeing Chu Tianshu looking at her, Ning Xin smiled sweetly, feigning innocence, "My mom has told me many times that girls shouldn't fight."

"You can tell your mom that you didn't fight a person," Chu Tianshu said with a smile.

"Senior, you're right," Ning Xin laughed happily.

Hearing Bao Ge's screams, the bar fell into chaos.

Several guys cursed and rushed over from the side.

"Who? Who? Who the hell wants to die?" One of them, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with a tattoo of an eagle or a chicken on his arm, waved his right hand and shouted, clearly a wannabe gangster.

Bao Ge, holding his face with one hand and pointing at Chu Tianshu and Ning Xin with the other, cried out, "Chang Ge, over here, it's this pair of scumbags."

Four guys rushed over, surrounding Chu Tianshu and Ning Xin, ready to gang up on them.

Unrelated people in the bar quickly moved away, but many stayed to watch the commotion.

Drunk fights were a daily occurrence, and regulars found them entertaining.

At this moment, Wei Shijie returned from the restroom. Seeing the situation, he knew they were in trouble and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, smiling, "Everyone, hold on, let's talk this out."

Bad guys become even more aggressive when they see fear.

The tattooed guy rushed over, pointing at Wei Shijie with a fierce look, "Who are you? Want to die, huh?"

Chu Tianshu didn't even look at the tattooed guy, pulling Wei Shijie aside and asking, "Where were you?"

"I went to the restroom," Wei Shijie was secretly anxious, wondering why Chu Tianshu was asking such irrelevant questions when a fight was about to break out. He then asked Ning Xin, "What's going on?"

Ning Xin said nonchalantly, "Nothing much."

"You guys—" The tattooed guy was ignored again, almost spitting blood. He pointed at Chu Tianshu and Ning Xin, "Damn, you dare to touch our Bao Ge. I'll make you crawl out of our crotches today."

The other three accomplices chimed in.

"Do you know the emergency number?" Chu Tianshu turned to Ning Xin.

"Yes," Ning Xin nodded.

"Call the police," Chu Tianshu said.

"Ha ha, Chang Ge, they're scared and want to call the police. Ha ha, that's hilarious," the tattooed guy laughed wildly, looking at the other three.

Even Bao Ge, with his bloodied face, couldn't help but laugh, but the pain made him gasp.

Clearly, these guys had connections with the police and didn't take the threat seriously.

Wei Shijie could see this and approached Bao Ge, "Buddy, I have a connection with Hao Shuang. Let's talk this out, no need to hurt the friendship, okay?"

"Ha ha, which friend?" As he spoke, the crowd parted, and a tall, thin young man walked out.

Chu Tianshu recognized him as Hao Shuang. He was drunk, stumbling, and would have fallen if Jiaojiao hadn't been supporting him.

Wei Shijie hurried over, greeting him warmly, "Hao Shao, you're here? It's been a while."

Bao Ge and the tattooed guy, among others, put on a more respectful demeanor and called out, "Shuang Ge!"

"Oh, who are you?" Hao Shuang squinted, looking at Wei Shijie.

"Little Wei, Wei Shijie," Wei Shijie smiled awkwardly, introducing himself.

Hao Shuang, drunk, said, "Oh, you're the kid from the district military department, right?"

"I..." Wei Shijie didn't know how to respond, his face turning red and then white.

"Ha ha," seeing Wei Shijie's discomfort, Hao Shuang's four accomplices laughed again.

"What's going on here?" Hao Shuang, still holding Jiaojiao, ignored Wei Shijie and turned to ask Bao Ge, who was still holding his face.

Bao Ge, stuttering, said, "Shuang Ge, I..."

The tattooed guy, Chang Ge, patted Bao Ge's shoulder and said with a grin, "Bao Ge had a bit of bad luck today, he got beaten by a pretty girl."

"Who? Where?" Hearing about a pretty girl, Hao Shuang's eyes lit up.

Jiaojiao pushed him away in a huff.

Hao Shuang stumbled, almost falling, and Bao Ge, no longer holding his face, quickly supported him, pointing at Ning Xin and Chu Tianshu, who were watching coldly.

"Wow, ha, what a beauty," Hao Shuang's eyes fixed on Ning Xin, and he stumbled forward, leering, "Girl, give me a couple of hits on the face too."

"Get lost," Ning Xin, hearing Hao Shuang's crude words, glared at him.

"Ha ha, girl, you're so cute. Even when you're angry, you're so adorable. Come on, I won't be mad, have a drink with me," Hao Shuang said with a grin, reaching out to touch Ning Xin's face.

Chu Tianshu, feeling a surge of anger, his breath hot, quickly moved in front of Ning Xin and grabbed Hao Shuang's wrist.

Wei Shijie also quickly stood beside Chu Tianshu.

Hao Shuang, taken aback, opened his mouth, and a foul smell hit them. He cursed, "Who the hell are you? Let go, or what?" As he cursed, he looked up and, upon recognizing Chu Tianshu, laughed, "Ha ha, it's you again. I was just about to settle the score with you. You're a good one, coming to me. Guys, get your weapons."

The tattooed guy and the other three grabbed bottles from the table.
