30: Chapter 30 Zhao Ming

A commotion came from the doorway as a few young men walked in.

Leading them was a young man of about twenty, tall and wearing an expensive jacket. Compared to the people in the surrounding slum area, he looked completely out of place.

As soon as he entered, his gaze landed on Wang Xinrou and her sister, and he couldn't look away.

The sisters had exquisite features; even their simple clothing couldn't conceal their stunning charm.

They looked especially similar, one cold and ethereal, the other lively and spirited, like two fairies untouched by dust who had fallen into the mortal world.

The other party's voice was loud, and the entire barbecue restaurant fell silent for a moment.

Wang Xinyu frowned and leaned closer to her sister.

Wang Xinrou also put down the half-eaten meat skewer in her hand, revealing a look of disgust.

She was naturally cold by nature; she couldn't be bothered with anyone other than Fang Yun and her sister, and she was particularly disgusted by the rude newcomer.

The young man walked straight over as if no one else was there, a lecherous smile on his face and undisguised possessiveness in his eyes.

"Beauties, are you just here by yourselves?" He automatically ignored Fang Yun, who was nearby; he didn't care about such schoolboys at all, and the brothers behind him were no mere showpieces.

"Is this your first time here? I haven't seen you before. Let's get to know each other; my name is Zhao Ming."

The young man reached out with a wicked smile, his gaze fixed tightly on Wang Xinrou's beautiful face.

"No need, we're almost finished eating." Wang Xinrou's tone was indifferent; she didn't want to say anything more to him.

The young man's hand stayed in the air, but he wasn't annoyed. When it came to such top-tier beauties, patience was the one thing he didn't lack.

"Don't be so cold, we're just making friends."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the two of them.

"With girls as pretty as you, isn't it a waste to stay in a place like this every day?"

"Come out with me, brother, and I guarantee you'll get to experience real high-society life."

The few lackeys nearby also laughed, their laughter filled with malicious intent.

In their eyes, girls like this who came from humble backgrounds but were outstanding in appearance were the best prey. They were already well-versed in doing this sort of thing and had ruined countless innocent young girls.

After they were done playing, they would at most toss them some money to dismiss them. What could the other party do?

Sue him? His uncle was the chief of the Public Security Bureau, his father was a city councilor, and his mother was a famous entrepreneur. Their family business spanned all of Linjiang City; they had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world.

His parents only had him as a son, and they treasured him dearly, making him carry bodyguards wherever he went.

Fight him? Previously, a girl had chosen to commit suicide because she couldn't bear the humiliation. After her parents went to the Public Security Bureau to report it, they were found dead in their home the very next day.

Zhao Ming was also very smart; he specifically targeted girls without backgrounds, so that even if something happened, his parents could protect him.

He never touched those with some family background, which was why he brought his lackeys to hang around in the suburbs.

The owner, Uncle Gen, saw that this group of people had ill intentions and were harassing his customers. His expression changed, and he hurriedly came out from the back, greeting them with a smile.

"Young masters, sit over here and take a look at what you'd like to eat. I'll waive your bill today, how about that?"

He recognized this leading young master as a notorious bully in the area. Furthermore, his family had some connections, and he had done so many bad things without ever facing consequences.

He was worried they were here to cause trouble, so he prepared to appease them first and then have Wang Xinrou and her group leave quickly.

The two girls were definitely no match for the other party and would easily suffer. The boy who came with them was likely their friend; he looked quite handsome, but also frail and weak.

Having been in business for so many years, the owner had decent skills in reading the situation and observing people.

The young man frowned and ignored Uncle Gen's words. He shot Uncle Gen a cold look: "What? You want to meddle in other people's business?"

The lackeys behind him stepped forward in unison. Uncle Gen's face turned from green to pale, and in the end, he didn't dare to make a sound.

He also needed to make a living, and he couldn't afford to offend these people. With a helpless sigh, he could only retreat.

Seeing the old man retreat sensibly, Zhao Ming snorted coldly, turned around to face Wang Xinrou and her sister, and put on a polite face once again.

In reality, his inner desires were almost impossible to suppress. He felt the blood in his body boiling, and his entire body was burning with heat.

Top-tier sisters, the long night is just beginning; there's going to be fun to be had tonight!

Leaning behind her sister, Wang Xinyu took the opportunity to secretly ask the owner what the other party's identity was.

The owner lowered his voice: "The leader is named Zhao Ming. His uncle is the chief of the Public Security Bureau. His family has a lot of connections; no one here is willing to provoke him."

Wang Xinrou, who was in front, heard the conversation behind her clearly, and her expression changed slightly.

However, she wasn't afraid. Her first reaction was to look at Fang Yun; she didn't want to bring trouble to him because of her.

Fang Yun had already helped her a lot, and she didn't want him to get into any trouble because of her.

She took Fang Yun's hand, stood up, and said softly: "Fang Yun, let's go, let's find another place."

Fang Yun was stunned: "Leave?"

Wang Xinrou smiled and nodded: "Let's go. It's just eating, after all; it's the same wherever we go."

Fang Yun touched his nose with his other hand: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

He had originally been prepared to take action and stage a hero-saving-the-beauty scenario, but he hadn't expected Wang to be planning to slip away.

However, he was definitely going to listen to her, so seeing this, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing this scene before him, the fake smile on Zhao Ming's face had long since vanished. He watched with his own eyes as the woman he considered to be in his grasp actively held another man's hand, while ignoring him when he reached out.

Not only that, she was chatting and laughing with the other man. Zhao Ming was expressionless at this moment, and the lackeys behind him who were familiar with Zhao Ming all knew that he was truly angry.

"Hmph, leaving?"

"Did I say you could leave?"

After speaking, Zhao Ming and his group blocked the path in front of the three of them. They were forced to stop, and Wang Xinrou said coldly: "Please move."

Zhao Ming laughed: "Quite a temper you have? Do you know who I am? Let me tell you..."

"Alright, alright. Can't you see she told you to get lost? Why are you shamelessly blocking the way? Playing the role of a guard dog?"

Fang Yun interrupted him directly, stepped in front of the two women, and shielded them behind him.

Looking at Fang Yun standing in front of her, Wang Xinrou felt a sweetness in her heart, as if she had eaten honey.

How long had it been since someone stood in front of her to protect her? After her parents passed away, the first time someone stood up for her was when Fang Yun took the initiative to pay off the compensation for her.

The second time, it was still Fang Yun shielding her. Her heart had long since been completely occupied by him.

Seeing Fang Yun step forward, she didn't say anything more. She had never wanted to talk to a piece of trash like Zhao Ming; just looking at him made her feel sick.

At this moment, she stayed obediently behind Fang Yun, head lowered like a little wife, with none of the tough stance she had when berating Zhao Ming earlier.

The change was so drastic that it even stunned her younger sister, Wang Xinyu, who was watching from the side.

Zhao Ming looked at the frail-looking Fang Yun and laughed in anger. He looked the other up and down: "Kid? Wouldn't it be better to just honestly be a coward? Do you have to play the hero and seek death?"

As he spoke, he shook his head and said to Fang Yun with a sympathetic look: "Want to play the hero saving the beauty? You don't even look at what kind of place this is. Just a stinking student, and you dare to meddle in my, Zhao Ming's, business?"

Fang Yun couldn't be bothered to answer him; he reached out and slapped him directly.

The next second.

Slap!

A loud slap.

No one saw how Fang Yun made his move; they only heard a crisp sound, and Zhao Ming was already lifted off the ground.

His face twisted and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body spun wildly in mid-air like a spinning top.

It was impossible to count how many times he spun before finally crashing heavily into a pile of tables and chairs in the distance.

The entire barbecue restaurant went silent instantly. Everyone was stunned; no one had expected that this seemingly harmless boy would be so violent once he took action.
