NOVPUBSeeing the figure approaching from the side, Xu Lu’s pupils trembled violently. Her face turned pale as wax, as if she had seen a ghost, revealing an unmistakable fear in her eyes.
Chen Nan also noticed the other party, a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six, with a burly figure, followed by four companions.
Without exception, each one was over one meter eighty in height.
"You slut, you’ve really got some nerve, daring to disappear behind my back!" Wang He, his face full of anger, raised his hand and slapped Xu Lu across the face.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap suddenly rang out.
Xu Lu was knocked to the ground by the blow, a bright red handprint vividly imprinting her face, a shocking sight.
"What right do you have to hit someone?" Nie Xiaoyu angrily stood up, not expecting the other party to strike without warning.
"Fuck!" Wang He snarled, his eyes filled with coldness, "I’m warning you, don’t fucking meddle in other people’s business, or you’ll regret it!"
Nie Xiaoyu stood her ground, "Lulu’s problems are my problems!"
Wang He had hit Xu Lu in front of her, and she certainly wasn’t going to stand by and do nothing.
"Fuck your mother, do you think I won’t dare to hit you just because you’re a woman?" Wang He huffed heavily, lifted his hand and swung it towards Nie Xiaoyu’s face.
But at that moment.
Chen Nan stood up and directly grabbed the assailant’s wrist, imprisoning it firmly in the air, "What kind of man are you to hit a woman?"
"Fuck your mother, let go of me now!" Wang He’s face contorted hideously, feeling as though Chen Nan’s hand was cast from iron, causing intense pain in his wrist!
"Your mouth is too dirty, you’re asking for it!" Chen Nan released Wang He’s wrist, and with a resounding slap, sent him flying back several meters.
His right cheek swelled up high, and fresh red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, a ghastly sight to behold.
"Son of a bitch, how dare you hit me!" Wang He was enraged, his eyes radiating a chilling intent. He instinctively picked up a wine bottle nearby and smashed it towards Chen Nan.
"Trash!"
Chen Nan’s face showed disdain, and before the wine bottle in the other’s hand could fall, he decisively kicked him in the chest.
A miserable scream ensued, and Wang He, like a kite with its string cut, flew out, tracing an arc in the air before crashing to the ground.
Seeing this scene.
Everyone around took in a breath of cold air, clearly not expecting Chen Nan’s strength to be so formidable, to have kicked a burly young man flying with a single kick.
"Lulu, don’t worry, Chen Nan will definitely teach this guy a harsh lesson for you," Nie Xiaoyu helped the swollen-cheeked Xu Lu to her feet, her face full of concern, "Are you okay?"
Xu Lu shook her head nervously, "I’m fine, Sister Xiaoyu."
Nie Xiaoyu hesitated, then couldn’t help asking, "Who is this guy? Why is he causing trouble for you?"
Tears fell from Xu Lu’s eyes like scattered pearls, "He’s my ex-boyfriend. We’ve already broken up, but he won’t stop harassing me, unwilling to let go."
Xu Lu used to have a job, but because Wang He kept harassing her at her workplace, she was forced to resign.
And she blocked Wang He on WeChat as well as his phone number.
She even dared not return to her own place and had to stay at a friend’s house.
Because she knew that Wang He would go to her place every day.
But she had not expected to encounter him here.
"What are you idiots standing around for? Can’t you see how badly I’ve been beaten? Gang up on him and waste this son of a bitch!" Wang He stood up, clutching his burning chest. His face twisted with rage, sweat streamed down his cheeks.
At Wang He’s command, his four companions bent down to grab anything they could use as a weapon; some snatched up stools while others picked up bottles, all approaching Chen Nan with a sardonic smile.
Even though Chen Nan had just sent Wang He flying with a kick, in their eyes, one man was no match for the many. They were absolutely confident they could defeat him.
"Young man, if you kneel before Brother Wang and beg for mercy right now, we’ll definitely spare your life," one of the blondies said, a cigarette dangling from his lips and a look of superiority on his face, "Otherwise, I’ll make sure to break your damn legs to teach you a lesson for offending Brother Wang!"
"You talk too much," said Chen Nan, his eyes flashing coldly as he took the initiative and charged at the four men.
He was incredibly fast, and every punch he threw was accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream of agony.
In an instant.
All four were beaten to the ground by Chen Nan, incapacitated and moaning in pain.
Seeing this,
Wang He couldn’t help but swallow hard, his eyes filled with barely concealed shock. After all, they were all trained fighters, regularly practicing at boxing gyms.
To put it bluntly, each of them had the capability to take on three opponents.
But now,
the four of them had been crushed by Chen Nan alone, and how could he not be astonished?
Regaining his composure, Wang He glared at Xu Lu with venomous eyes and gritted his teeth, "Xu Lu, I’m asking you for the last time, are you coming back with me or not?"
Xu Lu was fearful of Wang He, but with the second boss standing in front of her, she felt a strong sense of security blossoming within her.
She took a deep breath, mustering the courage to say, "I’m not going back with you!"
"Fine, I hope you won’t regret your choice today," Wang He said with a sinister smile on his face, his gaze as threatening as a viper’s, sending chills down one’s spine.
Afterward, Wang He and his companions left the barbecue restaurant like beaten dogs.
"Let’s continue."
After watching Wang He and the others leave, Chen Nan invited everyone to resume enjoying the roast lamb.
However, the atmosphere was not as good as before due to the recent disruption.
Xu Lu, in particular, remained silent and downcast, her mood visibly subdued.
After all, being assaulted by an ex in front of her boss and all her colleagues on her first day at work was a blow to her dignity.
Of course,
she worried even more about Wang He seeking revenge.
As everyone was finishing up, Nie Xiaoyu suggested, "Let’s call it a day. Everyone should head home and rest up since tomorrow probably won’t be easy."
After speaking, Nie Xiaoyu turned to Chen Nan and said softly, "Chen Nan, I plan to let Lulu stay with me for a while, to prevent her ex from causing more trouble."
Chen Nan beamed, "Sure!"
Then everyone got up and left the barbecue restaurant. After watching the other five girls leave by car, Nie Xiaoyu took Xu Lu by the hand. Seeing her distressed face, she consoled softly, "Lulu, don’t worry about your ex’s revenge. The second boss here is a hidden master. As long as he’s around, no one will be able to hurt you."
Xu Lu hesitated, then couldn’t help saying, "Sister Xiaoyu, Boss, after giving it serious thought, I’ve decided to resign."
"I’m sorry for letting you down!" she said, bowing deeply, tears spilling from her eyes, appearing incredibly aggrieved and helpless.
Shocked, Nie Xiaoyu asked, "Why are you resigning?"
