Not only did Zuo Xiaoqing, but the other few boys also showed a look of disdain. Just now, Gao Wei's intention to get the others drunk was too obvious, and now that it was their turn to retaliate, Gao Wei didn't dare to take it on.
At this moment, a long-haired man in a black denim jacket got up from the neighboring table and walked over. As he passed their table, no one expected Hong Ling to stand up and offer a toast, bumping into him. The cola in her glass spilled all over the guy, and the long-haired man immediately got angry: "F*ck, are you blind or what?" He reached out to slap Hong Ling, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, screamed, and dodged to the side.
Chen Guowei and the other boys stood up at the same time. They were also hot-blooded young men, and it was clearly the long-haired man's fault for speaking abusively.
Seeing that they were in the majority, the long-haired man cursed, "What? Ganging up on me? Want to cause trouble?"
Gao Wei, being older than the others, knew that a group of small-time hooligans often hung around the Second Street at night. He didn't want any trouble with this large group of students, especially since Hong Ling was the one who was at fault first. He smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, she's had too much to drink. If you have any losses, I'll compensate you!"
The long-haired man glared at Gao Wei with hatred, "You f*cking show off, compensate, compensate my ass! Can you afford to replace my clothes?"
Gao Wei's face turned red from the insult, but after the long-haired man cursed and didn't make any further trouble, he turned and went back to his table.
Worried that staying any longer would cause more trouble, Gao Wei quickly settled the bill and led the group of interns away.
Just as they left the night market, they heard the roar of motorcycles. Two 250cc Happiness motorcycles pulled up in front of them, and more than ten men on the latest trendy gearshift bicycles surrounded them.
From their attire, it was clear that they were all street thugs. Gao Wei's face turned pale; he hadn't expected that inviting the students for a meal would lead to such trouble. As the teacher of these students, he had to stand up for them. Gao Wei steeled himself and walked over. He saw that the long-haired man who caused the earlier trouble was among them, and immediately understood that these people must have been called by him. Gao Wei smiled humbly, "Brother, my sister accidentally dirtied your clothes. Here, I'll compensate you fifty yuan. Why don't you buy a new one?"
The long-haired man looked at Gao Wei with disdain, then suddenly kicked him in the stomach: "F*ck off! F*cking rich, so what?"
Although Gao Wei was tall and strong, he was essentially a bookish man. The kick from the long-haired man sent him sprawling on the road. Hong Ling and Chen Guowei hurriedly helped him up.
Zuo Xiaoqing walked up angrily, "What gives you the right to hit people?"
The long-haired man looked at Zuo Xiaoqing with a lecherous gaze. To be honest, it was rare to see such a pretty girl in this county town. He lit a cigarette nonchalantly, took a deep drag, and blew a cloud of smoke at Zuo Xiaoqing, who started coughing violently.
Seeing Zuo Xiao being humiliated, Gao Wei bravely stood up and shouted, "You'd better leave now. I'm a doctor at the county hospital. If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
These were all street thugs, and when they heard Gao Wei's words, they all burst out laughing. The long-haired man pointed at Gao Wei, "So what if you're a doctor? Aren't you just a professional thug? What's so great about you?"
Gao Wei's face turned red, "You..."
The long-haired man pointed at Gao Wei's nose, exuding a domineering aura, "Shut the f*ck up, or I'll beat you up!"
Gao Wei was actually intimidated by the long-haired man's气势.
The long-haired man pointed at the wine stain on his shirt, "I'm not an unreasonable person. How about this: these two girls go to the movies with me, and we'll consider this matter settled."
Gao Wei felt a chill down his spine. He had heard of the notorious thugs in the county, and Chang Qijin was one of them, known for his violent fights. He had dozens of followers who always attacked in a group, disregarding any rules of fair play. They had even caused trouble at the county hospital a few times, and even the hospital director couldn't do anything about them.
Hearing that the man in front of him was Chang Qijin, Gao Wei began to show weakness. As a doctor with a certain social status, he didn't want to get into a conflict with these thugs. He smiled and said, "I didn't know who you were, Brother Qijin. I'm quite familiar with Brother Erzi. We're all part of the same community."
Erzi was also a well-known thug in the county, who had once been hospitalized for an injury and had some interaction with Gao Wei. Gao Wei mentioned his name, hoping that Chang Qijin would let the matter go for Erzi's sake.
Chang Qijin rolled his eyes, "Who the f*ck are you? Who said we're part of the same community? Get lost, this has nothing to do with you!" He cursed Gao Wei for not knowing his place. Everyone in the underworld knew that Chang Qijin and Erzi were rivals, and this guy was actually invoking his name, which was just asking for trouble.
Gao Wei still smiled, "How about this, I'll compensate you one hundred yuan, and my sister will apologize to you!"
Hong Ling was almost in tears. Hearing Gao Wei ask her to apologize, she nodded quickly, "I apologize, I apologize..."
Zuo Xiaoqing said coldly, "Why should she apologize? A bunch of grown men bullying a girl, aren't you ashamed?"
Gao Wei was afraid that Zuo Xiaoqing would cause more trouble and hurriedly stopped her from continuing.
Zuo Xiaoqing showed no fear, "This is a law-based society. What, you want to cause a public disturbance? Do you have any respect for the law? Don't say I didn't warn you, disrupting public order is a crime!"
Chang Qijin, of course, wasn't scared by a little girl. He smiled and moved closer, "This little sister is so cute. Inviting you to a movie isn't illegal, is it?"
A lazy voice rang out, "Chang Qijin, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Scaring a little girl like that, I won't let you off!"
