Peace.

Just as Lin Yu and Tang Manman were happily eating, a burst of noisy sounds rang out.

Looking up instinctively, Lin Yu noticed a massive crowd swarming into the barbecue restaurant from outside.

There were so many of them that some were even blocked outside the restaurant, unable to squeeze in.

This large crowd consisted of various types of people, both men and women.

However, they could generally be divided into two groups.

One group was larger in number.

They appeared very casual and relaxed, but their eyes would inadvertently reveal a fierce glint, occasionally sweeping over the other group of people.

The other group was smaller and generally looked younger.

Yet, they seemed to have completely lost the pride and arrogance typical of young people. With their heads hanging low and looking extremely cautious, it was as if they did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

As Lin Yu observed them, the leader of the crowd was also looking around, seemingly searching for something.

When their eyes met, the man who looked like a mafia boss instantly changed his expression.

First, he gave a flattering smile, then bent over and nodded repeatedly.

The word sycophant was practically written all over his face.

"Master Long, I've brought the people to you."

The man approached Lin Yu's table, bowing and nodding again. His subservient demeanor made him look more like a lackey than an actual lackey.

Hearing the title Master Long, which somehow sounded even more ridiculous now, three black lines slid down Lin Yu's forehead.

But Lin Yu did not bother to correct him.

They probably wouldn't see each other much in the future anyway, so he just wanted to deal with this quickly and tell the guy to get lost.

"Come here."

Lin Yu waved at the younger group of people.

By now, these young people had realized the gravity of the situation.

With their heads bowed, they walked over one by one, huddled together like frightened little chicks.

"Who blew the whistle?"

Looking at the crowd squeezed around the table, Lin Yu asked straight to the point.

The group looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Before Lin Yu could urge them again, the man beside him lost his patience. He landed a flying kick on a random person and shouted harshly:

"Didn't you hear Master Long speaking to you?"

It was as if this kick had landed on every single one of them. They shrank their shoulders in fear and dared not hide anything anymore.

"I, I think I heard him blow it."

A man with a nose ring pointed a trembling finger at a man in a leather jacket next to him.

Lin Yu cast a sideways glance at the terrified leather jacket man, then calmly withdrew his gaze and continued asking:

"Anyone else?"

"There's also..."

"..."

One after another, the group identified two more people.

Now that the main culprits were found, Lin Yu recalled the situation at the time and figured this number was about right.

With the loudmouths caught, it was time for the punishment phase.

Looking at this group of young people in front of him.

Lin Yu felt very peaceful inside.

He was no longer the reckless hothead he used to be, who would clench his fists and rush into a fight the moment his blood boiled.

He was now a father-to-be.

The identity of a father gave him a bit more maturity and steadiness.

Therefore, for these young people who had not yet experienced the harshness of the world, Lin Yu did not plan to be too hard on them.

He would just lightly beat them to death.

Damn it!

How dare they catcall my woman.

I'll kill you all!

Lin Yu was furious.

Especially since he was about to have a daughter soon.

The more Lin Yu looked at these hoodlums who fooled around and did no honest work, the more they irritated him!

"You guys."

Lin Yu pointed at the accomplices of the three whistlers. Seeing their eyes gather on him, Lin Yu slid his finger toward the three loudmouths and said:

"Go outside and slap them in the face for me."

After speaking to the younger group, Lin Yu turned his head directly to the minor boss beside him and said:

"Send your men to keep an eye on them."

"If anyone slaps too lightly."

"You slap him."

"You got it!"

Upon receiving the order, the Black Blood Gang members surrounded the pale-faced young men and left the barbecue restaurant, finding a secluded place to kindly and amicably supervise their punishment.

The large crowd swarmed out of the barbecue restaurant.

Lin Yu and Tang Manman continued their meal.

While eating, Lin Yu secretly observed Tang Manman's expression.

He was a bit worried that his mafia-like behavior might make her uncomfortable.

After all, she had always been a very gentle person who couldn't stand the sight of blood.

Well.

He meant her in her normal state, of course!

After observing for a while, Lin Yu found that not only did Tang Manman not look upset, but she actually seemed rather happy.

Lin Yu couldn't understand what Tang Manman was thinking.

But seeing that she held no grudge against his actions, Lin Yu felt relieved and continued to eat.

On Tang Manman's side, she was indeed secretly rejoicing.

But she wasn't happy because the people who harassed her were being taught a lesson.

She was happy about Lin Yu's care for her.

He actually gathered so many people to vent her anger over such a trivial matter!

Does he care about me this much?

Happy!

Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy!

What?

Why wasn't she disgusted by Lin Yu's violent and bloody methods?

Don't you understand the basic principle of following the man you marry, no matter what he is?

Hmm?

Marrying Lin Yu.

Hehe.

The corners of Tang Manman's mouth couldn't help but turn up a bit more.

She was clearly lost in a beautiful fantasy.

A delicious barbecue meal came to a beautiful end.

Lin Yu and Tang Manman left the restaurant and once again strolled hand in hand down the deserted streets.

Now came the most difficult moment for Lin Yu.

According to the original plan.

Lin Yu had intended to give Tang Manman a package similar to Qing Mo's.

That is, a full service of meeting up, eating, sweet talk, and late-night exercise.

But now, facing Tang Manman, Lin Yu was a bit afraid to go back with her.

Although Tang Manman looked obedient, sometimes she had her own ideas, and she would go to any lengths to achieve them.

So Lin Yu was very afraid that if he went back with her tonight, things would spiral out of control.

If she secretly got pregnant again.

Then he would really be doomed.

But if he didn't go back with her.

Then he should be heading back now...

...

Looking at Tang Manman leaning against his shoulder with a satisfied and tranquil smile, and then looking up at the starless and moonless night sky above.

Ummm...

Why did it feel like tonight's darkness was so perfectly suited for murder and silencing witnesses?

Swallowing hard, Lin Yu ultimately lacked the courage to tell Tang Manman that he was leaving to accompany Su Yuyao.

Instead, he continued to hold Tang Manman's hand, wandering and chatting with her along the deserted night road.
