The man in the hoodie, Lin Chao, didn’t say a word but walked step by step towards Xia Wan.
Xia Wan, seeing Lin Chao approaching with a solemn expression, thought to herself with a cold snort: Just after cursing him, he shows up!
Brother Fang’s followers immediately blocked Lin Chao’s way. “Hey! Didn’t you hear what our brother Fang said?” “Looking for trouble, aren’t you?”
“Today, we’ll show you what we’re made of!”
One of the followers swung a punch at Lin Chao’s head.
Lin Chao raised his hand to block it and kicked the follower in the abdomen, flipping him over.
Seeing their companion beaten, another rushed at Lin Chao, throwing punches.
Lin Chao grabbed the wildly swinging arm and threw the man down with a twist of his foot.
The fallen follower, with a bloodied mouth, sat on the ground groaning in pain.
Seeing Lin Chao’s swift and efficient actions, the other followers hesitated, not daring to approach.
Brother Fang, seeing this, cursed his men. “Useless bunch!”
Then he turned to Lin Chao with a threatening tone: “You know I have a reputation on the streets! If you mess with me, don’t blame my brothers for seeking revenge!”
“You won’t last long in this town!”
Lin Chao, unconcerned with Brother Fang’s words, stepped in front of Xia Wan, raised an eyebrow, and glanced at Brother Fang: “Do you know him?”
“What do you think?” Xia Wan rolled her eyes at Lin Chao, silently cursing him again in her mind.
If it wasn’t for Lin Chao taking her to meet some leader, she wouldn’t have left her silver needles behind, allowing Brother Fang to show off for so long.
Lin Chao sensed Xia Wan’s displeasure and frowned slightly. ‘Why do I feel like you’re cursing me?”
Xia Wan, somewhat surprised, smiled. “No, I’m just thanking you for saving my life!”
Seeing that Xia Wan and Lin Chao were ignoring him, Brother Fang decided to regain some face.
He grabbed Xia Wan by the neck and pulled her up from the chair.
Caught off guard, Xia Wan was outmaneuvered by Brother Fang.
Seeing Xia Wan held hostage, Lin Chao’s expression turned cold. “Let her go!”
Brother Fang’s face showed a triumphant look: “What now? This girl is in my hands. No matter how good your kung fu is, what can you do to me?”
Struggling against Brother Fang’s grip, Xia Wan’s face turned red from the lack of air.
Brother Fang, without loosening his grip, taunted Lin Chao, “I’m telling you, I’m taking this girl with me today, or else my name isn’t Brother Fang!” Lin Chao saw Xia Wan’s increasingly red face and her difficulty breathing.
“You better let her go now, or you’ll regret it!” Lin Chao’s voice was low but sent chills down Brother Fang’s spine.
Brother Fang bit his teeth. “You think threatening me will scare me? Anyone can talk tough. Don’t you move, or else…”
Saying this, Brother Fang tightened his grip.
Xia Wan tried to break free by reaching for Brother Fang’s fingers, planning to escape by breaking them.
But Brother Fang’s grip was too tight, and Xia Wan felt her vision darken and her legs weaken.
Xia Chen was still held back by Brother Fang’s men, unable to move.
Liu Hua wanted to help but hesitated, too scared to rush forward recklessly.
The students sitting nearby shrank back in the corner, none willing to lend a hand. Some even whispered cold remarks, saying it was all Xia Wan’s own doing.
Lin Chao took a deep breath and casually waved his hand.
Brother Fang, thinking Lin Chao was about to attack, pulled Xia Wan and retreated a few steps back.
In this panic, Xia Wan, already feeling weak, lost her balance.
Xia Wan’s body involuntarily fell backward.
Brother Fang, caught off guard, was pulled down to the ground with Xia Wan.
Brother Fang, agile himself, quickly pushed Xia Wan off him and got up, attempting to escape.
However, he had barely run a few steps before he was blocked by two men in military uniforms.
“Who are you?” Brother Fang instinctively backed away, looking for a way to escape.. “Get out of the way, this has nothing to do with you!”
