Sheng Ruzhi lowered her guard a little when she heard him talking about business all the time.

"Get in the car." Liu Yukun gestured with his chin. "I'll take you to get something good to eat, it's on me."

"I want to go home."

"Then I'll take you home." Liu Yukun wanted to be alone with her.

Someone came out of the post office.

Those people were looking this way.

Liu Yukun then asked, "Are those your colleagues? Should we say hello?"

She is in a hurry.

"Let's go quickly. I'll take you for a tour of the city."

Liu Yukun handed her a helmet and put it on her. Sheng Ruzhi quickly got into the car and put on the helmet with her head down, afraid that her colleagues would see her.

The town is only about half an hour away from the city.

By the time we reached the pedestrian street in the city center, it was completely dark.

The restaurant signs along the roadside lit up.

Sheng Ruzhi directed him to stop in front of a restaurant.

"The food here is alright. A few of my classmates and I used to chip in to come here for our birthdays."

Liu Yukun parked his motorcycle. "Zhizhi, you go inside first. I'm going to the convenience store next door to buy something."

Sheng Ruzhi nodded, "Okay."

As soon as she entered the gate, someone at the next table started shouting.

"Oh! Isn't this Ruzhi-chan?"

Sheng Ruzhi paused, her face turning cold.

A man dressed in a floral shirt, flared jeans, and oversized leather shoes stood up. His hair was so messy it looked like flies could fork in it, and he had a toothpick in his mouth. He stood in the aisle, looking rather slovenly.

There were three other men at the table, laughing maliciously.

"Brother Tiger, who's this?" a skinny-looking guy asked as he approached.

"You don't know her? She's the belle of our neighborhood." The man in the floral shirt, known as Tiger, looked Sheng Ruzhi up and down. "I used to pursue her for over half a year, but this woman was incredibly arrogant and wouldn't even acknowledge me. She looked down on me for not having a proper job."

The skinny monkey burst out laughing.

"Is this woman blind or just plain horny? Our Tiger isn't good enough for you? Our Tiger has money, looks, height, and character—he's got money too."

Everyone burst into laughter. "Miss Sheng, are you tempted?"

Tiger stopped Sheng Ruzhi.

"Ruzhi, it's better to meet by chance than to arrange a meeting. Want to have a couple of drinks? I'll take you ice skating and clubbing later. A new dance hall just opened in the city, and it even has an ice rink. Do you know how to ice skate? I'll teach you..."

"Get out of my way. I don't know you." Sheng Ruzhi glanced at him with disgust.

"Pah, you fucking filthy bitch, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"

Tiger spat:

"I heard you went to Shanghai for a stroll, failed to snag a rich husband, and came back looking utterly dejected. Now you don't even have a girlfriend. Do you really think you're made of gold or gold inlaid with jade?"

We don't know if it's gold or not, we want to see.

"How dare this woman look down on Brother Tiger? She's so ungrateful."

"Holy crap. A decent guy."

The other people at the table surrounded us, blocking the aisle.

"Don't go! Tiger's treating, so many women would kill for him. Come on, let's have a toast with Tiger!" someone sang.

Sheng Ruzhi's face turned cold. "I told you to get out of the way."

Tiger moved closer.

"Still giving me attitude?" Tiger's eyes were lewd as he pressed himself against her. "Are you planning to sell this body for a good price and marry a rich man?"

The voice just fell.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

Sheng Ruzhi hadn't reacted yet.

Tiger let out a scream and stumbled back a few steps, crashing into the table behind him.

The table was overturned, plates and bowls were broken all over the floor, and soup and water were splashed all over him.

Liu Yukun pulled his leg back and twisted his neck.

"Your mouth stinks so much, did you just crawl out of a latrine after eating shit?"

"Ouch! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me... My small business can't withstand your vandalism!" The restaurant owner rushed out from the kitchen, looking at the mess on the floor, and wailed with a bitter expression.

Liu Yukun glanced coldly at Tiger.

"Boss, don't worry, we'll settle the loss for these few blind bastards later."

Sheng Ruzhi reacted quickly, grabbing Liu Yukun's arm and pulling him back. "Are you crazy? Why are you getting into a fight with these thugs?" she said urgently, pushing him away. "Let's go."

Tiger grabbed a beer bottle from the nearby table and slammed it against the corner. "Leave? Nobody's leaving this room today!"

The other three thugs also grabbed bottles and surrounded them.

Liu Yukun turned around and shielded Sheng Ruzhi behind him.

He stared at Tiger and raised an eyebrow.

"Who are you trying to scare with that half-bottle? If you've got the guts, don't call for backup. Let's go outside and settle this one-on-one. Whoever chickens out is a coward. Don't fucking try to act tough and act like a big shot in front of women."

Sheng Ruzhi's heart tightened. This small body going to fight one-on-one?

In a moment of impulsiveness, she blurted out:

"He just bullies people because he has more people. He's definitely not a coward in a one-on-one fight. Why bother lowering yourself to waste your breath on a spineless coward?"

Tiger was already furious, and Sheng Ruzhi's provocation made his eyes turn red. "One-on-one it is, I'll cripple you today."

He pointed at the three brothers, "None of you lay a hand on this. Watch how I deal with this pretty boy."

After saying that, Tiger took the lead and strode out of the restaurant.

Liu Yukun turned and glanced at Sheng Ruzhi, giving her a reassuring look.

He followed them outside.

As soon as they reached the open space outside the store, the two started fighting.

Tiger, relying on his strong physique, immediately launched a wild punch.

Liu Yukun moved nimbly to the side, dodging the attack, and then delivered a punch to Tiger's cheekbone.

With a "bang," Tiger saw stars.

Inside the restaurant, seeing their leader had been wronged, the three thugs couldn't contain themselves any longer and threw down their bottles, ready to rush out.

"Get him!"

"Kill him."

Upon seeing this, Sheng Ruzhi turned and rushed towards the back kitchen.

The chef was watching the commotion, still holding a large iron ladle for stir-frying. Sheng Ruzhi snatched it away and rushed back to the doorway, blocking the entrance.

"Who dares to go out?" Sheng Ruzhi, her face flushed, roared at the three thugs, gripping a large, long-handled iron ladle with both hands. "We agreed on a one-on-one fight! You cowards, have you no shame? I'll fight you to the death!"

"Get out of my way!" the skinny monkey cursed. "You think you can just stop fighting like that? We're going to make sure your lover leaves with her life today."

He reached out to grab the iron spoon.

With her eyes closed, Sheng Ruzhi swung the iron spoon forcefully, and it struck the skinny monkey's hand bones with a clang, causing him to scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"You bitch, I'll kill you."

"What are you doing? Stop it, all of you!"

Two sharp shouts came from afar, and beams of flashlight beams swept over.

It turned out that the restaurant owner, seeing that things were not going well, had already sent someone to the police station at the street corner to report the incident.

The three thugs immediately wilted when they saw someone in uniform.

The two people who were wrestling outside were also pulled apart.

Half an hour later.

The group arrived at the police station's mediation room.

"Officer, we really didn't cause any trouble." Sheng Ruzhi, who had the appearance of a good young man, looked frightened, her eyes filled with tears, and she hurriedly explained the situation, "My friend came from Haishi on a business trip, and the two of us came to the restaurant for dinner. It was those thugs who stopped me and forced me to drink with them. They even said they wanted to go to the skating rink and the disco to dance, and they wanted me to drink a toast together."
