After a brief interlude and having teased the so-called Sun Country mixed-blood, the two exchanged smiles, suddenly finding the food on the table particularly delicious!
After finishing the last sip of Ukrainian Borscht, Wei Yuan called the waiter to prepare the bill. In fact, this meal was far less comfortable than enjoying beef at a hot pot restaurant, and Western meals often have a characteristic of being expensive yet not filling!
Some people enjoy that feeling of being expensive yet not filling; lingering on is a kind of realm. One can imagine that those who say such things have either never gone hungry in their lives or are simply foolish!
When they walked out of Triumph Restaurant, it was already around seven-thirty in the evening. The only bus left to return to Lan Xue's home was the infamous No. 338 bus, and Wei Yuan had no intention of sending Lan Xue home so early.
Moreover, if they were to go back, he wouldn't choose to take the No. 338 bus. There is a saying in Jinghai City: If you hate someone, make them take the No. 338 bus every time they go somewhere!
Because the route of this bus can be summed up in one word: traffic!
A journey that should take half an hour could take two hours, and you'd be lucky if you arrived then.
Although Lan Xue often took the bus, it seemed she had never ridden this particular route. When Wei Yuan talked to her about the legends surrounding the No. 338 bus, exaggerated expressions occasionally appeared on Lan Xue's face, followed by bursts of laughter.
In such an atmosphere, both of their spirits were high as they strolled aimlessly down the pedestrian street, hand in hand, with no intention of shopping.
However, at that moment, Wei Yuan suddenly noticed several figures following closely behind them. Ever since absorbing Spiritual Energy to improve his physical condition, his sensitivity to external perceptions had increased significantly; he could clearly sense that these individuals were targeting him.
Could it be that the Lan Bo Couple sent them? After having played with Jiang Yu at the Lan Family, Wei Yuan had anticipated retaliation.
As he held onto Lan Xue while observing the situation behind them, he suddenly pulled her into a sprint down a side street at a fork in the pedestrian area.
After running for a few minutes, to evade those people, Wei Yuan ducked into a nearby alley. He led Lan Xue into an open space where several low-roofed tile houses provided cover; it shouldn't be too easy for anyone to spot them here.
However, Lan Xue seemed completely unaware of any danger. As she looked at Wei Yuan, who was anxiously holding her close, she blushed and said, “Wei Yuan, can we not do this here?”
At that moment, Wei Yuan felt a wave of embarrassment; no matter how impulsive he was, he wouldn't bring Lan Xue to such a place for anything inappropriate. It was fortunate that Lan Xue could misinterpret his actions because he looked too anxious and was drenched in sweat, which easily led to misunderstanding.
“Let’s not talk right now; someone is following us!” Wei Yuan explained.
At this point, taking advantage of the terrain's concealment, Wei Yuan peered around the corner and noticed several people searching around. Among them was one man dressed in a suit with two mustaches—he was indeed the mixed-blood from Sun Country who had been teased by Wei Yuan at the Triumph Restaurant!
He returned home this time because there was still an uncle here. His uncle's son usually mingled in this area and had some influence. After hearing that his cousin was being bullied, he took the initiative to gather people to help.
A total of four or five people were blocking the entrance of Triumph Restaurant. They had been eyeing Wei Yuan since he and Lan Xue stepped out, looking for a chance to teach Wei Yuan a lesson. However, Wei Yuan quickly sensed their intentions and ran away with Lan Xue faster than a rabbit!
When he realized that it wasn't Lan Bo's people, Wei Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That guy is over here!" someone suddenly shouted.
Immediately, everyone nearby rushed over in response to the voice. Wei Yuan quickly grabbed Lan Xue's hand and said, "Let's find a place to hide."
"Okay, you be careful," Lan Xue replied obediently.
Wei Yuan initially planned to find a random spot to hide and avoid putting Lan Xue in danger, but now that they had been discovered, there was no choice. Fortunately, after numerous fights in the past and with the cleansing of Spiritual Energy and Yang Ying's rigorous training, Wei Yuan felt confident.
He was the first to charge out, delivering a flying kick to the guy who spotted him. The person couldn't dodge in time and was kicked away by Wei Yuan. Then, Wei Yuan charged toward the crowd approaching him, locking onto Mustache as his target.
"What do you want?" Mustache asked awkwardly in broken Mandarin.
Wei Yuan came at him like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, his momentum intimidating everyone present. Especially Mustache, who was startled when he saw four or five people surrounding him yet still so fierce.
Wei Yuan ran over and took a kick from the person next to him without flinching! With all his strength, he returned that kick to Mustache, knocking him down. After rolling a few times on the ground, Mustache cried out, "Cousin, he's hitting me!"
The man whom he called cousin looked quite sleazy but trembled upon seeing Wei Yuan.
However, the two people next to him did not witness this scene. Seeing Wei Yuan being so arrogant, they both lunged at him with punches and kicks.
Sometimes in fights, it's not about who is bigger or stronger; more often than not, it's about that fierce determination—like a madman throwing caution to the wind—which can shock everyone.
For Wei Yuan, it was just like that. When he fought, it felt like playing King of Fighters; he went all out without giving his opponents any chance to breathe. His attacks were fierce, with no hesitation in his mind as he repeatedly thought: "Beat them up!"
While Wei Yuan was entangled with these two men exchanging blows, on the other side, the first guy who received a kick from Wei Yuan grabbed Lan Xue and walked toward them while shouting, "Cousin, I caught this girl!"
At this moment, the Perverted Man had recognized Wei Yuan and quickly shouted, "Everyone stop, let her go!"
The Perverted Man clearly held some status in the eyes of these people. As soon as they heard his words, the three immediately stopped what they were doing. After Wei Yuan punched one of them, she also paused, waiting to see what he would do next.
He ran over, pulled apart the two people standing next to Wei Yuan, and slightly bowed his body toward her with an apologetic expression, saying, "Big Brother, I'm really sorry."
Upon hearing his address, the expressions of the two people beside him instantly fell like a frostbitten eggplant. At this moment, Wei Yuan looked at the Perverted Man and found him somewhat familiar.
Before he could explain to Wei Yuan, the Perverted Man first ran toward Lan Xue. The guy who was holding Lan Xue thought he could use her to threaten Wei Yuan, but unexpectedly, after the Perverted Man approached, he slapped him hard.
The guy was stunned and asked, "Biao Ge, what's going on?"
The Perverted Man glared at him and shouted, "Who told you to be so clever? Let go of Sister-in-law right now!"
"Sister-in-law?" the man questioned in confusion.
"Quickly let her go, you bastard! How dare you keep your hands on Sister-in-law's shoulder? Do you want to lose your hand?"
