Some thugs came to the restaurant and caused trouble, so Xiao Cui hurriedly ran into the kitchen to inform them.

"Boss Su, something bad has happened! A few thugs have come to cause trouble."

Two male chefs were stir-frying vegetables. They stopped tossing the food in the wok, grabbed sharp knives, and were about to rush out.

"You all just focus on cooking. I can handle things outside."

The two men exchanged a glance.

One of them looked at Su Xiaonuan with some suspicion. "Boss Su, why don't you cook? We're men after all, and you, a woman, probably can't keep these thugs in check."

"Don't worry! If I couldn't even handle a few thugs, I wouldn't be running a restaurant here."

Just as everyone was about to get out of the way under the thugs' threats, Su Xiaonuan came out. She stood imposingly at the shop entrance, pointing at the thugs. "We're here to do business. If you're here to support us, I warmly welcome you. If you're here to cause trouble, you'll have to get my permission first."

"Hahaha..." Laughter erupted everywhere.

The leader of the thugs pointed at Su Xiaonuan. "This woman is hot, I like her! But with your looks, it's a waste to open a restaurant. It would be more appropriate for you to open a brothel. I feel sorry for you, with such delicate skin, if you open a restaurant."

As he spoke, he rushed forward and reached out his groping hand towards Su Xiaonuan's face.

Just when everyone thought Su Xiaonuan would let this thug take advantage of her, she suddenly moved.

Light and agile.

elegant.

He nimbly dodged the thug's groping hands.

A smile played at the corners of her lips, revealing a glimpse of pearly white teeth. "You're asking for it!"

As the sound faded, she unleashed a furious whirlwind.

With a sharp shout, she chopped upwards with her right hand and raised her left hand, delivering a powerful "up and down flip" to the thug.

Two loud "clap" sounds earned everyone's applause and encouragement.

Even the thug's henchmen almost applauded and cheered.

Those two slaps came so fast.

"You...you...daring to hit me..." The thug, having lost face in front of so many people, lunged at Su Xiaonuan in a fit of rage.

Su Xiaonuan still had a smile on her lips. She took a step to the side with her right foot and kicked the thug's body with her left foot. Just as the thug was about to fall backward, she reached forward with her left hand, grabbed the thug's shirt in front of his chest and pulled him forward. It was an easy victory.

The thug stood obediently in front of Su Xiaonuan like a defeated rooster.

After nodding to each other, the group rushed forward together.

With so many people coming at once, the diners who had just relaxed were now on edge again, all worried about Su Xiaonuan.

As it turned out, their worries were completely unnecessary.

Su Ming was confident in his daughter's abilities, so while he was busy inside, he showed no intention of coming out to help.

The next second, Su Xiaonuan suddenly flipped her jade palm and grabbed the thug's wrist with her other hand. The two movements were as fast as lightning. She used the thug's body as a weapon to sweep away the thugs who rushed at her.

A strong wind swirled around.

The thugs were forced to retreat step by step, their fists swung around aimlessly. If they hit, they would only hit their own men. If they didn't fight, they wouldn't have a chance to get close to the woman. All they could do was retreat step by step.

Su Xiaonuan will not give up so easily.

She wanted to teach these thugs a lesson and make them fear her, otherwise they would come back to cause trouble in the future.

The gang leader she had controlled became the best weapon for retaliation.

She used gentleness to control her opponents, and then used their strength to force them back.

One of the thugs, after some maneuvering, finally spotted an opening and excitedly launched a sneak attack on Su Xiaonuan.

Little did they expect that this was a flaw deliberately created by Su Xiaonuan.

She swept her right foot back, hooking the thug with her toe, and then kicked him away hard.

With a "thud," the thug was thrown a considerable distance.

She used this trick to throw off the thugs who were attacking her.

A chorus of wails filled the air.

Applause erupted as she threw the gang leader away.

"What a brilliant move! Using someone else's strength against them, winning through skill, it's invincible!"

"Director Lu, what brings you here?" Su Xiaonuan clapped her hands and went to greet him.

"What? Have you forgotten your promise to treat me to dinner so quickly?" Lu Kuan came right after get off work, still in his uniform, and was accompanied by three fully armed middle-aged police officers.

A sharp-eyed diner exclaimed, "Look, these are all the chiefs of various public security bureaus!"

This outburst caused quite a stir; the crowd erupted like a boiling pot.

More importantly, they all stepped forward to shake hands with the young woman in front of them, which showed that this woman had an extraordinary background.

Upon seeing this, the thugs scrambled away and disappeared.

Those colleagues who were watching the show also made their escape.

At this point, the waiters started setting up tables outside, and some of the diners in line took their seats.

So, when there were empty seats in the store, Su Xiaonuan made room for Director Lu at a table.

"Comrade Xiao Nuan, I came here because of your cooking skills, so you'll have to take charge of the dishes yourself." Lu Kuan said with a smile as he took his seat. "And these people, they also came because of your cooking skills, so don't leave the cooking to others."

"Well said, don't rely on others to cook!" Su Xiaonuan cupped her hands in greeting. "Thank you for your kind words, leaders. I'll go cook for you right away."

Su Ming busied himself pouring tea for the four leaders, then turned to attend to other guests. There were simply too many people; otherwise, he would have sat down to chat and drink tea with them.

Su Xiaonuan personally cooked five dishes and a soup for them.

Everyone listened with drooling mouths as Su Xiaonuan announced the names of the dishes. Without even exchanging pleasantries, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

He was so engrossed in eating that he didn't even have time to talk, he just kept giving Su Xiaonuan a thumbs up.

Su Xiaonuan went to the counter and got another bottle of wine, but she only poured wine for three of them.

Lu Kuan swallowed hard, looking at her with confusion. "There are four of us, why did you only drink three glasses of wine?"

“Yes, why doesn’t Yu Yang have any wine?” one of them raised his glass.

“He can’t drink alcohol.” Su Xiaonuan pointed to Yu Yang’s teacup. “Director Yu can drink tea instead of alcohol. Don’t let him drink alcohol. He’ll probably have to go to the hospital later. If he drinks alcohol and then goes to the hospital, his daughter will definitely be unhappy.”

Su Xiaonuan's words startled the person who had just spoken, causing him to drop his cup with a clatter to the ground.

His mouth dropped open. "How did you know he was going to the hospital?"

"How did you know he had a daughter?" Lu Kuan was also extremely surprised.

Su Xiaonuan chuckled and pointed at Yu Yang. "Did Director Yu tell me?"

"When did I tell you that?" Yu Yang stood up in surprise.

"Director Yu, don't worry!" Su Xiaonuan raised her hands and pressed them down, then pointed to the keychain he had placed on the table. "Well, it's your keychain that told me everything. The little rabbit woven from white rope revealed everything to me. It had a strong disinfectant smell. If I'm not mistaken, your daughter is in the hospital, and this little white rabbit is her handiwork. That's why you treasure it so much and hang it on your keychain."
