Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Tonight, not only did they fail to teach Lu Feng a lesson, but they were the ones who got beaten black and blue.

This matter absolutely cannot be left at that; otherwise, how would they survive on the streets if word got out?

Hu Ge was just about to nod when Huang Mao suddenly stood up in a panic, waving his hands vigorously: "Hu Ge, absolutely not! There are surveillance cameras at every intersection on Food Street; if we go splash paint, we'll definitely be caught on camera! If things go wrong, we'll all end up inside!"

"Afraid of what!"

Fatty laughed with a face full of disdain, reached out and patted Huang Mao's shoulder: "It's not the first time we've done this kind of thing! The previous times nobody cared, right? For trivial small matters like this, the police can't be bothered to get involved!"

"Hu Ge, you really have to listen to me! Boss Lu is different from those little punks we've dealt with before!"

Seeing Fatty's couldn't-care-less look, Huang Mao instantly got anxious, looked at Hu Ge and said loudly: "If we dare do this, forget Boss Lu, even the customers in his shop probably won't agree! You guys don't know because you haven't eaten at the shop; Boss Lu's customers include all kinds of people! Last time I even saw the few police officers responsible for our area in there!"

"Police? You wouldn't have mistaken them, right?"

Hu Ge's heart gave a start, and an ominous premonition instantly rose in his heart.

"Hu Ge, although those police officers weren't in uniform, we've been into the police station more than once or twice; I absolutely wouldn't mistake what those officers look like!"

Huang Mao shook his head vigorously: "Among those police officers there was also a pretty female police officer; her relationship with Boss Lu didn't look ordinary, she might even be Boss Lu's girlfriend!"

The pretty female police officer Huang Mao spoke of was Qin Ye's granddaughter, Qin Feiyu.

Whenever she got off work early, she would always bring a few colleagues from the unit to eat at Lu Family Restaurant.

Over time, those colleagues also became familiar with Lu Feng, and every time they saw Lu Feng they would actively greet him.

Sometimes when there were many people queuing, they would even help maintain order.

"Holy shit! Huang Mao, why didn't you say this earlier! Is what you said true?"

A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Hu Ge's back; the resentment in his heart just now vanished without a trace.

They could usually bully those small vendors without backgrounds.

But if the other party knew police and had such a good relationship with them, they definitely wouldn't dare to easily provoke them.

"Hu Ge, I'm your grandson if I'm lying to you!"

Seeing Hu Ge looked like he didn't believe it, Huang Mao immediately raised his hand in a swearing gesture: "I was sitting not far from those police officers at the time; I heard every word they said to Boss Lu clearly! That female police officer even told Boss Lu that if he ran into any trouble, he should just call them directly!"

Hu Ge's face showed some panic, and in his heart he couldn't help but start regretting tonight's impulsiveness.

It wasn't that he was afraid of doing time in a small black room, but he was worried that if he went in, there would be no one to take care of his younger sister who had just started middle school.

Don't look at how fierce and vicious he usually acted in front of Huang Mao and the others; back at home he was an out-and-out sister-spoiling demon king.

Hu Ge's parents had passed away early; he and his sister relied on each other for survival.

Most of the money he earned as a hoodlum was kept for his sister's tuition and living expenses.

"Hu Ge, what do we do now? We ambushed Boss Lu tonight; will he call those police friends to come arrest us?"

Fatty panicked the moment he heard this, his eyes constantly darting around, afraid that the next second a group of police officers would burst out and drag them into the police station.

"Afraid of what!"

Hu Ge forced himself to hold on, deliberately raising his voice to feign calm, with a "I got beaten and I'm in the right" look: "The ones who got beaten tonight are us! He didn't suffer any loss, so what if he knows police? These injuries on our faces are evidence! Not suing him for intentional injury would be letting him off easy! Don't be scared, this kid definitely won't call the police tonight!"

"Even if Boss Lu doesn't call the police tonight, but... what if tomorrow those police officers come to his shop to eat, and he casually mentions tonight's matter, then..."

Huang Mao hesitated for a moment, stammering in a low voice.

Hu Ge stopped talking.

Although he had spoken just now with righteous confidence, in reality he had no bottom in his heart.

He knew better than anyone in his heart that if it really got to the police station, and they tried to pretend to be victims, absolutely no one would believe them.

Besides, when they entered the small alley to ambush, there were many people coming and going on Food Street who saw them.

As long as the police casually ask a few nearby shopkeepers, their lies will be exposed.

On one side is the gourmet shop boss praised by everyone on Food Street; on the other side are a few idle, notoriously infamous little hoodlums.

Which side the police would believe is obvious at a glance; you can figure it out with your heels.

"Hu Ge, how about... we go apologize to Boss Lu now? Say we mistook him, it was all a misunderstanding..."

Shorty swallowed his saliva, looked at Hu Ge and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah Hu Ge, Boss Lu's not a bad person; if we just properly apologize and admit fault, maybe he won't pursue the matter."

Huang Mao also expressed agreement, looking at Hu Ge with a face full of hope.

"Hu Ge, stop dragging it out! If we delay any longer, Boss Lu might just call the police any second!"

Fatty was a bit anxious, wishing he could run back right now and give Lu Feng a standard sliding kneel.

Hu Ge sighed heavily, slowly nodded: "... Alright, a wise man doesn't suffer immediate losses; we few indeed went a bit too far today, don't go looking for trouble with Boss Lu again in the future."

He feared neither heaven nor earth in this life, only that when he wasn't around, his sister alone would be bullied.

If something happened to his sister during the few days he was inside, how could he face his parents?

Seeing Hu Ge agree, Huang Mao and the others all let out breaths of relief.

They thought Hu Ge would stubbornly hold onto face and disagree; then they'd be embarrassed, going to apologize wasn't right, not going wasn't right either.

"Alright, let's hurry back, don't be so late that Boss Lu's already left!"

Hu Ge waved his hand, his tone somewhat weary as he urged the others: "The sooner we finish apologizing the sooner we each go home; I still have to find a place to get a tooth fixed tomorrow!"

Huang Mao and the other three nodded, following Hu Ge toward the direction of Food Street.

"Hu Ge, how about we come queue early tomorrow? Maybe we'll still get to eat his cooking!"

"Fatty, you're still thinking about eating at a time like this; if Boss Lu doesn't forgive us later, you can go eat shit!"

"Didn't Yellow Hair say Lu Boss is easy to talk to? I think Lu Boss will definitely forgive us……"

"Alright alright, all of you stop yapping! Everyone properly think about how to apologize to them later!"

The few of them walked and chatted, and no one noticed that not far ahead of them, a black van silently stopped at the Food Street intersection, just right blocking the few of them's path to Food Street.
