Hearing Lin Yu's words, Xia Yiwei suddenly felt a surge of playfulness.
She opened her palms and said:
"I guess there are five people!"
"Didn't Lei Siren just say on the phone? Five people are enough!"
"I reckon his cousin isn't a generous guy either, so he definitely only brought five."
Lin Yu said as he walked toward the elevator leading outside:
"Alright, so you're guessing an odd number."
"Then I'll guess his cousin is being generous for once. The number of people here today will be an even number, and more than five!"
Walking behind them, Lei Siren watched the two with their arms around each other's shoulders and didn't feel the slightest bit of envy.
Instead, he was viciously mocking them in his heart:
Show off all you want!
Don't you know that couples who show off their affection die fast?
Once they got to the underground parking lot in a moment, he would let Lin Yu experience...
What true cruelty was!
...
Before long.
The three of them arrived at the underground parking lot together.
The underground parking area of this restaurant was part of a large parking lot for the entire nearby commercial district.
The spot where Lei Siren parked should have been near the elevator.
Since there were plenty of empty spaces anyway, it would be much more convenient to get in and out.
However, after getting off the elevator, Lei Siren made the excuse that his car was parked a bit far away and wanted them to walk a distance ahead.
Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei naturally had a tacit understanding, knowing exactly what kind of cheap trick Lei Siren was playing.
Soon.
A group of seven or eight guys walked out from around a few parked cars.
Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei looked ahead at the same time...
The actors had arrived!
And there were indeed more than five of them.
"Five, six, seven, eight... nine of them!"
"Hahaha, little master, I still won!"
Xia Yiwei excitedly pulled on Lin Yu's arm.
Thinking about the drama that was about to unfold, how could she not be excited?
Ever since the dojo challenge last time, Xia Yiwei hadn't seen Lin Yu in action for a long time.
Last time he was facing her sister, so Lin Yu had held back somewhat.
After all.
They would still have to see each other in the future, so how could he not leave her some face?
Furthermore.
Lin Yu had absolutely zero rage meter last time.
He had only challenged the dojo out of necessity to help Xia Yiwei.
This time was completely different!
Lei Siren's brilliant maneuvers had thoroughly stoked Lin Yu's anger.
The current Lin Yu could hardly wait, anticipating their appearance as soon as possible.
Lin Yu let go of Xia Yiwei and cracked his knuckles fiercely.
He chuckled softly and said:
"Weiwei, your luck really isn't bad!"
"I'll count it as your win. Remember to ask me for your reward after this is over."
"I originally don't like using violence to solve problems, but I have no choice..."
"Since some people prefer it this way, I'll let them see that your master is no pushover."
Seeing the approaching men, Lei Siren was thrilled.
The corners of his mouth split into a grin so wide he was afraid Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei wouldn't see it.
He hurriedly pointed in the direction of the men and said to the two:
"Found it, finally found it."
"My memory is really too terrible, haha."
"The car is parked right up ahead. Let's go, let's head over first."
"The driver I called will be here any minute. We can go rest in the car first."
With that said.
Lei Siren ignored Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei's reactions and walked ahead on his own.
By walking a bit faster, it would be easier to make eye contact with the approaching men, after all.
Understandable.
Lin Yu completely understood!
If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected was about to happen to Lin Yu's group...
Just as Lin Yu expected.
When he led Xia Yiwei to catch up with Lei Siren's footsteps.
The nine burly men up ahead suddenly started to put on an exaggerated performance of being drunk.
"Let me tell you guys, no one is allowed to leave today! We have a second round coming up, we're going to that KTV from last time!"
"Oh man, that place was just average last time, why do you like going there so much?"
"That's right. I think we should find a place to play some cards. It's been a while since we played together, hasn't it?"
"Did you bring enough cash? You're the one bringing up cards, be careful not to lose your pants!"
"..."
The content of their discussion was basically just mindless drivel.
As long as one used their brain even a little, they could easily pick apart the holes in their words.
What kind of gangsters went out drinking and singing in broad daylight?
Real gangsters would just be waking up at this hour!
The people Lei Siren hired were really unprofessional.
They completely couldn't withstand close scrutiny.
But it didn't matter. Lin Yu had great patience, and even when facing such amateurs, he could still maintain his composure.
Generally speaking.
If a passerby bumped into a drunkard and a conflict was meant to happen.
They at least needed to find a decent-sounding point of contention.
Who would have thought...
"Hey! Brothers, there's a little beauty over here!"
"Hey, come take a look, this chick is really pretty!"
"Where? Where?"
"..."
With one person instigating and taking the lead, the rest of them all crowded over.
They pointed their fingers incessantly in the direction Xia Yiwei was walking from.
Lin Yu: "..."
Couldn't they say something of substance?
Wasn't this excuse a bit too cliché?
Was Lei Siren's older cousin really cut from the same cloth as him?
His underlings were completely brainless!
The provocative words they spoke were way too forced, weren't they?
What was worse...
These words directly made Xia Yiwei happy.
She tapped Lin Yu's arm and whispered:
"Hahaha, little master, the little beauty they're talking about couldn't be me, right?"
"How embarrassing! Hahaha..."
For other girls, these might be insulting words and a signal of danger.
But to Xia Yiwei.
Wasn't this pure praise?
It practically praised her right to the bottom of her heart!
Even without looking at her face, Lin Yu could imagine her smug expression.
"Hey, Weiwei, it's better if you restrain yourself a little."
"Whatever you do, don't let them see through our act!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't all the buildup from earlier be a total waste?"
Lin Yu hurriedly reminded Xia Yiwei, telling her to wipe her drool.
The other party wasn't sincerely praising her; they were just looking for an excuse to start a fight.
Hearing Lin Yu's words.
Xia Yiwei regained her senses and immediately put on a frightened look.
She hid behind Lin Yu, pretending she was too scared to look at the men.
When the leader, Buzzcut Fatty with tattoos, saw Xia Yiwei act like this, his interest was instantly piqued even more.
He had probably done similar things plenty of times in other places.
Buzzcut Fatty pinched his chin and said with a lecherous smile:
"Oh, getting shy now?"
"Hahaha, no need to be shy in front of your big bro!"
"Shoo, shoo, kid, get out of the way. Let me see if the little beauty is shedding tears."
Buzzcut Fatty shot a look to the few guys beside him.
Signaling them to match his pace.
Just in case Lin Yu suddenly attacked, at least everyone could strike back at the same time.
Before coming here, Buzzcut Fatty had looked into Lin Yu's background in advance.
A boxer!
That title didn't mean much in Lei Siren's eyes, because the beatings wouldn't land on him, so naturally he didn't need to care.
But whoever took the beating would know the pain!
Buzzcut Fatty and his brothers maintained a certain level of vigilance against Lin Yu.
Furthermore.
Hearing someone hit on his girlfriend like this, how could a boxer possibly hold back?
