Protagonist:

Lin Hao

After Lin Hao squeezed his way in with great effort, he saw several drunken men surrounding Yuan Shanqing menacingly, demanding money.

Yuan Shanqing's face was full of terror, her body trembling slightly.

Because of Lin Hao's report, after Yuan Yong was arrested, most of the money was actually recovered.

Although Yuan Yong had squandered several tens of thousands, divided among everyone it wasn't that much per person.

So, no one had the heart to make things difficult for the two Yuan sisters.

After all, in this petroleum base, few people were willing to earn the reputation of bullying two frail girls.

But today, several idle workers' children were eating at Xiao Shu Du.

These people usually had no skills and couldn't endure hardship, so they couldn't follow their fathers' careers.

They had also been swindled out of some money by Yuan Yong, and harbored resentment in their hearts.

In the restaurant, they recognized Yuan Shanqing working as a waitress.

Coupled with the alcohol they'd drunk, once the liquor took hold their reason was thrown to the clouds, and naturally they refused to let Yuan Shanqing off.

One red-faced fellow even wanted to molest the young girl, saying with filthy words: "Hey, little girl, your dad owes us money, so you have to pay. Or, keep us brothers company for a bit, and we'll call it even."

Yuan Shanqing retreated repeatedly in fright, tears spinning in her eyes.

Although other waitresses protected her so Yuan Shanqing suffered no real harm, these people wouldn't give up, shouting loudly, which drew this crowd.

Seeing this, Lin Hao immediately forced his way through the crowd and walked over.

When they saw Lin Hao approach, several people recognized him, but now alcohol had muddled their heads — who cared who you were.

One drunk glanced sideways at Lin Hao and said indifferently: "Lin Hao, don't meddle, this has nothing to do with you."

Another chimed in: "Yeah, get lost."

After entering, Lin Hao didn't hesitate to pick up the bar phone and dial the police station, saying firmly: "Hello, police station? Someone's causing trouble at Xiao Shudu Restaurant, please come quickly."

Hanging up, Lin Hao stood in front of Yuan Shanqing, looking coldly at the drunks, and said: "Don't go too far. If there's a problem, solve it through legal means. What skill is it to bully a little girl?"

Hearing Lin Hao's words, the drunks' faces instantly turned very ugly.

They then remembered Lin Hao had called the police, panic rose in their hearts, and they didn't want to stay any longer.

So the few of them exchanged a glance, grumbling as they tried to leave.

But Lin Hao wasn't about to let them go that easily. He turned and asked a waitress: "How much did they spend?"

The waitress quickly quoted a figure. Lin Hao nodded, then said to them: "Don't leave yet. Settle the bill, then apologize, then you can go."

Hearing they not only had to pay but also apologize, the alcohol surged, and they refused on the spot.

One hot-tempered man glared, grabbed a wine bottle, and swung it at Lin Hao's head.

Lin Hao was no pushover either; he'd been on guard against them.

He sidestepped to dodge, then tripped the man's foot, and the man crashed to the ground with a "shua".

Seeing their brother beaten, the others' eyes turned red, they grabbed bottles and rushed forward.

The kitchen chefs and waiters also came at them with kitchen knives and large spoons, and the scene instantly became very tense.

At this critical moment, the police station personnel finally arrived. They shouted loudly: "Everyone stop!"

This shout was like a thunderclap, making both sides halt their actions.

The police quickly controlled the situation, sternly reprimanded the drunks' behavior, and questioned Lin Hao and the restaurant staff.

After mediation, the drunks finally paid the bill and apologized to Yuan Shanqing. Only then did the storm subside.

After everything returned to normal, Xiao Shu Du's employees began leaving work one after another.

Looking at Yuan Shanqing's slightly weary face, a trace of pity welled up in Lin Hao's heart. He said softly: "Yuan Shanqing, let me walk you home."

Yuan Shanqing was slightly startled, then gently nodded.

Along the way, Yuan Shanqing several times seemed about to speak but stopped, her eyes full of conflict.

Lin Hao noticed her oddness but didn't press, just quietly accompanied her walking.

Lin Hao would occasionally say a few relaxed words, trying to ease this somewhat heavy atmosphere. "The weather's pretty nice today."

"The flowers by the road are blooming beautifully."

Yuan Shanqing only responded simply, her mind clearly not on these topics.

Reaching downstairs of Yuan Shanqing's home, Yuan Shanqing went to the neighbor's to pick up her younger sister Yuan Shanzi.

The moment Yuan Shanzi saw Lin Hao, she immediately revealed a radiant smile, that pure innocent smile seemingly able to dispel all gloom.

She happily stretched out her little hands, saying in a childish voice: "Brother, brother, hug."

Lin Hao hurriedly took Yuan Shanzi, gently holding her in his arms.

Yuan Shanzi giggled nonstop in Lin Hao's arms.

Lin Hao laughed and pinched Yuan Shanzi's little nose, saying: "Shanzi is the cutest."

Arriving at Yuan Shanqing's home, Lin Hao left some of the dried sea fish Qiang Xiaowa's grandpa gave for Yuan Shanqing.

Yuan Shanzi waved her hands repeatedly, saying: "Lin Hao, I can't take this, you take it back."

But Lin Hao insisted she accept, saying: "This dried fish tastes good, you and Shanzi try some. It's not anything valuable, just a token of goodwill. It was given to me by someone else anyway, didn't cost me money."

Yuan Shanzi still hesitated a bit, saying: "But..."

Lin Hao cut off her words, saying: "No buts, take it."

Under Lin Hao's repeated insistence, Yuan Shanzi finally accepted with embarrassment, saying: "Alright then, thank you, Lin Hao."

Seeing that Lin Hao was about to leave, Yuan Shanqing finally mustered the courage to voice her intention to resign.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Lin Hao, I don't want to work at Xiao Shu Du anymore. I'm afraid those people will come cause trouble again and affect Xiao Shu Du's business."

Lin Hao frowned, thought for a while, and felt that Yuan Shanqing's worry also made sense.

After all, Xiao Shu Du didn't belong to Lin Hao, and he also had to give an account to Li Dahai and his wife.

On top of that, school was about to start, and Yuan Shanqing also needed to prepare.

Lin Hao said, "Alright, I understand your decision. If you need help in the future, come find me anytime."

Yuan Shanqing looked at Lin Hao with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Lin Hao. Thank you for helping me so much."

With the matter settled, and the hour not early, Lin Hao turned and left Yuan Shanqing's home.

His figure gradually receded into the night, while Yuan Shanqing gazed in the direction he had gone, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
