Chapter 2706

The burly man rolled up his leather jacket sleeve, stood up, and said, "What's this? You don't know what's good for you, right? If you let the proprietress and your sister come over to drink with us today, this matter will be settled. Otherwise, I'll smash your whole stall!"

A flash of anger crossed the owner's eyes, but this anger was immediately replaced by helplessness. If he were the only one there, he would never back down, but he had two beloved women behind him; he could only swallow his pride to keep the peace.

The owner said, "Big brother, Junzi from West Street is my brother. Can you give me some face?"

The name Junzi was clearly still very famous in Baozhou. Upon hearing the name Junzi, the burly man clearly hesitated for a moment. He looked at another bald man sitting nearby. That bald man had a face full of malice and shook his head.

The burly man who was standing immediately looked at the owner and said, "I don't care if your Junzi is a fool. I'm putting it out there today: if you don't let your wife and sister come over to drink with us and make us happy, this matter isn't over today!"

The owner smiled helplessly. He turned his head to look at his wife and sister, as if preparing to say something to them, but suddenly, an unexpected change occurred. The owner's hands grabbed a beer bottle and a bottle of Baozhou Shangjun Shangjun Daqu liquor from a nearby table that hadn't been cleared yet, and he struck.

The owner moved like lightning. The beer bottle in his left hand smashed heavily onto the head of the standing burly man, while the Baozhou Shangjun Shangjun Daqu bottle in his right hand smashed onto the head of the sitting bald man. The scene immediately descended into chaos.

The two who were struck didn't even have time to scream before they slumped down limply. The other burly men jumped up, wanting to rush at the owner. The owner shouted, "Whoever dares to come up, I'll take their life!"

The Baozhou Shangjun Shangjun Daqu bottle in the owner's right hand hadn't shattered because it was made of thick glass, while the beer bottle had already broken, leaving only the neck. However, this made it even more aggressive because its jagged, razor-sharp shards would immediately leave a bloody hole if inserted into someone, which would be difficult to stitch up.

Those burly men were stunned. They hadn't expected this seemingly harmless owner to be so ruthless, decisive, and merciless. The two who had been hit were now lying on the ground, life or death unknown, which filled them with fear.

Although there were still five or six of them, and every one of them was big and burly, they did not have the upper hand in terms of momentum in front of this owner.

Xing Guodong was also so nervous that he picked up the Baozhou Shangjun Shangjun Daqu bottle, gripping it very tightly, and even trembling slightly.

Xia Song also put down his chopsticks and was looking for a handy weapon.

Only Su Xinghui continued to eat a plate of grilled fish as if nothing had happened. This grilled fish was served in a metal plate and was being slowly stewed over a small flame underneath, so it was still hot.

Of course, Su Xinghui's heart was not that calm. He was also very interested in this owner. This owner was usually very quiet when grilling, basically not saying anything to customers, and seemed to have a calm temperament.

Just now, when he was negotiating with these burly men, he was able to endure humiliation and use someone else's name to resolve his predicament, which could be considered as knowing when to bend and when to stretch.

But when the negotiations failed and the matter was beyond repair, he was able to strike decisively, and in the process of striking, he also displayed his many excellent qualities.

First, when he turned back to look at his wife and sister, it was clearly to confuse his opponents, making them think he had already surrendered and causing them to lower their guard.

And when he grabbed the two bottles and struck like lightning, incapacitating two people in one move, it showed that he had undergone rigorous combat training and had quite good skills.

The two targets he chose were also very deliberate: one was the burly man who had been negotiating with him, and the other was clearly the bald leader. These two were obviously the two people with the most say in the group, which deeply aligned with the military principle of capturing the leader first to capture the gang.

In this short minute, Su Xinghui saw many advantages in this owner. This was a talent worth cultivating. Su Xinghui could tell that he must have been a soldier; with such qualities, he didn't know why he had ended up like this, becoming an ordinary barbecue stall owner.

One of the burly men went up to check on the bald man who had fallen to the ground. Feeling his breath, he felt a little relieved. He lifted the man up and placed him on a chair, then placed the burly man who had stood up first on another chair, so as to keep them from lying on the cold ground and prevent heat loss from being too fast.

The owner said, "If you don't send them to the hospital, I'm afraid they won't be saved in a little while."

The owner's words made the men hesitate. Su Xinghui's eyes lit up again; this sentence from the owner was intended to break the opponents' fighting spirit, which also deeply aligned with the principles of military strategy.

A burly man said, "You two, take them to the hospital."

Two people responded, helped the two injured burly men up, and left. There was a hospital nearby.

Now, this group was left with only four people, and their numerical advantage over the barbecue owner was suddenly halved. This was created by the owner using various factors, but even four people was still a huge advantage.

The leader said, "Gouzi, you and I will deal with him. Dasheng, Xiaoming, you two go deal with those two women!"

Upon hearing this, the owner's face changed, and he scolded angrily, "You are despicable!"

The leader gave a sinister laugh and said, "In a moment, you'll know what despicable is! Attack!"

He grabbed a chair, and the burly man named Gouzi also grabbed a chair, cautiously walking toward the owner. They split into two directions, and with those two large chairs, they blocked all his paths.

Dasheng and Xiaoming forced their way toward the owner's wife and sister. The owner shouted, "Qianqian, Xiao Man, run quickly!"

The owner's wife and sister were just two weak women. Seeing this scene, they were already scared out of their wits. The owner's wife said, "Yingjie, be careful!"

The owner looked back and said, "You run quickly, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

They also knew that staying here would only distract the owner, so they took a deep look at him and turned to run.

The two burly men named Dasheng and Xiaoming gave a sinister laugh and chased after them like big bad wolves seeing little white rabbits.
