Chapter 233 Whoever loses has to crawl out of the restaurant on their knees.

Ning Yao crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin, and said:

"What threat can you pose to us? I just don't like you. I don't want to bully you, nor do I want them to beat you up. Here's the deal: you can call any number of people you want, as long as they can beat them, you can leave the restaurant. Otherwise..."

Ning Jinli remained completely unmoved. "Otherwise what?"

Ning Yao's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Otherwise, you'll have to crawl out on your knees. Of course, you can also just admit defeat without calling for help."

"Even if you just admit defeat, you have to crawl out?"

"That's right! Whether the people you called lose or you admit defeat directly, you have to crawl out of here into the street obediently! Don't try to cheat, or it will be even more embarrassing if they force you to crawl out."

"Ning Yao, you are really childish and boring."

"Is it childish? Is it boring? Say what you want, I think it's really interesting!" Ning Yao said with a condescending attitude. "What could be more fun than seeing you make a fool of yourself? Consider it a memorable and wonderful experience for myself before I go to the United States."

Ning Jinli was speechless.

She re-examined the ten men who had escorted Lin Lina and her daughter Ning Yao.

They are clearly not ordinary people.

However, if she wants to leave, these people can't stop her.

"Cousin, you have no choice." Ning Yao said confidently, as if she could already see Ning Jinli crawling on her knees out of the restaurant and losing face in front of everyone.

Then, if passersby on the street gather around and film it, and post the video online, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

Even if I settle down in the US in the future, I can still go online and watch the videos repeatedly, which will definitely become a great pleasure in my daily life.

Just thinking about it is awesome.

Ning Yao was already impatient and urged, "Cousin, hurry up! Either call for reinforcements or just admit defeat. Stop dawdling!"

Lin Lina remained silent in the face of Ning Yao's unreasonable and excessive behavior, continuing to eat her lunch as if it were none of her business, clearly tacitly approving of it.

“Since you’re so eager to create a lasting memory,” Ning Jinli’s lips curled into a faint smile, “Fine, I’ll grant your wish. But you only say that if I lose, this or that will happen. What if you lose?”

Ning Yao said nonchalantly, "It's the same. If I lose, I have to crawl out from here."

Ning Jinli then said, "I'm afraid you'll renege on your promise unless you make a vow."

"What's there to renege on?" Ning Yao blurted out without thinking, "If I were to renege, I'd rather have my plane crash over the Pacific Ocean while I'm on the private plane sent by the US to pick me up!"

Lin Lina frowned. "Daughter, this is too unlucky."

Ning Yao smiled and said, "Mom, you know who's escorting us to M country. Ning Jinli couldn't possibly have brought someone more powerful than them. We can't lose, don't worry."

Lin Lina wasn't worried about losing to Ning Jinli, but she was very averse to such vows. However, since her daughter had already said it, there was nothing she could do.

Ning Jinli took out her phone and asked Ning Yao while making a call, "You have ten people here, so can I only call ten people as well?"

Ning Yao generously stated, "I told you, I'm not bullying you. I reckon you can only call your bodyguards or the security guards from the company or factory. It's fine if you call fifty, but I'm afraid you can't call that many in a short time."

"Just who are your bodyguards?" Ning Jinli asked curiously.

Ning Yao said mysteriously, "I'll tell you when your people arrive."

The call connected, and Ning Jinli whispered a few words into the phone before hanging up.

She did not intend to personally accompany the ten US bodyguards to take action.

Having mastered the Heavenly Profound Heart Method and possessing formidable internal strength, dealing with these people wouldn't be difficult for her, but there was no need to display her fighting prowess in front of Lin Lina and Ning Yao over such a minor situation.

Because a woman who can single-handedly defeat ten burly male bodyguards will definitely attract the attention of the mother and daughter.

Given Ning Hai's extremely special status in the United States, it will inevitably bring him unnecessary attention. If the United States focuses on him, it will not be a good thing.

"My people will be here soon." Ning Jinli said after finishing the call, then sat down again.

"Okay, I'll wait." Ning Yao took out her phone and scrolled through videos to pass the time.

Ning Jinli sat with her eyes closed, resting, while Lin Lina continued to eat at her own unhurried pace.

An hour passed.

Ning Yao threw her phone on the table. "Why haven't your people arrived yet? Why don't you just admit defeat and stop wasting time dawdling around?"

Ning Jinli slowly opened her eyes. "Are you catching a flight?"

"Tch," Ning Yao scoffed, "I was on a private jet specially assigned by the US. My mom and I could take off whenever we wanted, no need to rush."

Ning Jinli smiled slightly, "Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Ning Yao was getting impatient. "I'll wait another ten minutes. If your person hasn't arrived by then, you've lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, an ordinary, somewhat old van pulled up and stopped by the restaurant entrance, looking completely out of place in the environment.

After the car door opened.

Five men with short haircuts got off the bus.

Ning Jinli got up and walked outside. "Please don't mind that I called you here to deal with this little thing."

These five people were members of the special operations team that Shangguan Ying had assigned to Ning Jinli.

One of them was the leader of the action team.

Around thirty years old, with an average appearance and bronze skin, but with well-defined features, especially his eyes, which are both approachable and possess an extraordinary temperament upon closer inspection.

“Miss Ning, you’re too kind,” the captain said with a smile. “As long as it concerns Miss Ning, there is no distinction between big and small matters. General Shangguan has also instructed us to just carry out your arrangements and orders.”

Afterwards, Ning Jinli led the five people into the restaurant.

Ning Yao glanced at her, both surprised and angry. "Ning Jinli, do you think I'm joking with you?"

Ning Jinli asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"What else!" Ning Yao rolled her eyes. "You only called five people?"

Ning Jinli laughed and said, "So what if there are five of them? They're all veterans, and they're really good fighters."

It's not wrong to say he's a veteran.

Because they were indeed all retired from a top-tier special forces unit in China, and the reason for their retirement was that they were selected to participate in more difficult and confidential missions. Their personal information and even their real names were all hidden.

To the outside world, they are practically non-existent.

Hearing Ning Jinli say that this was a veteran, Ning Yao became slightly more serious, but her eyes were still full of contempt. "Are you sure you only have five people to fight against my ten bodyguards?"

Ning Jinli nodded. "I'm sure."

Ning Yao laughed heartily, "Fine, fine, you're going to lose anyway, so whatever you want."

"Daughter, I feel something's not right..." Lin Lina muttered to herself as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.

Ning Yao didn't take it seriously, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Lin Lina frowned slightly. "What do you think Ning Jinli is really thinking?"

"What were you thinking?" Ning Yao pouted. "Since I was going to lose anyway, I just called a few people to deal with it."

Lin Lina shook her head. "If she thought she was going to lose anyway, why did she even bother to bring someone? And why did she bring a veteran?"

Ning Yao said, "It's just for show. Mom, don't overthink it. At most, Ning Jinli plans to have these people protect her as she leaves. Don't worry, she won't get out of this door unless she crawls on her knees. Even fifty veterans couldn't protect her, let alone five."

These words dispelled the inexplicable doubts that had arisen in Lin Lina's mind.

Ning Yao stood up, revealing a bright smile, and said loudly, "Since it's a competition of skills, if we start fighting later, it might damage the tables and chairs in the restaurant, so it's better to fight outside. What do you think, cousin?"

Ning Jinli said calmly, "I'm fine with either."

"Let's go!" Ning Yao waved her hand and led her people out of the restaurant first.

The parking area next to the hotel entrance is quite large.

The few black vans that were parked there also belonged to Ning Yao and her group. After she had her bodyguards drive them away, there was a spacious enough open space.

The sun is shining brightly right now.

The bustling streets were teeming with people.

Ning Yao's bodyguards stood in the middle of the open space, with their hands behind their backs and their feet slightly apart, standing in a line.

They were already tall and muscular, dressed in elegant, fitted black suits and wearing black sunglasses. Coupled with their foreign appearance, they quickly attracted the attention of passersby.

Gradually, more and more people began to gather around and discuss, or take out their phones to take photos and videos.

"Is this some kind of performance? Or is some crew preparing to film something?"

"Wait, I don't see any photographers..."

"Could it be that the hotel hired male models for some kind of event?"

"These guys are all so burly and strong...they look more like bodybuilders than male models..."

"..."

More and more onlookers, unaware of the truth, were curious about what these muscular foreign men were up to.

This is exactly the effect Ning Yao wanted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suggested that his people and Ning Jinli's people come outside to compete.

Afterwards, she called out the hotel manager to act as the host and instructed the hotel manager to send people to spread the news among the onlookers so that the onlookers could roughly understand the ins and outs, so that Ning Jinli could be embarrassed as much as possible.

To achieve her goal, Ning Yao went to great lengths and didn't mind the trouble.

Soon, the news spread, and more and more onlookers gathered around the parking area outside the restaurant.

Many people immediately rushed to grab a viewing spot, taking out their phones and opening video apps to start a live stream.

The bigger the commotion, the more excited Ning Yao became.

Ning Jinli remained calm and composed, as did the five special operations team members standing beside her.

"Cousin, my people are ready, why aren't yours going over?" Ning Yao stood by the gate, glancing at Ning Jinli with disdain.

Ning Jinli nodded in acknowledgment, and the five team members walked down the steps of the gate, standing three meters apart from the ten people on the other side.

Unlike Ning Yao, who stood openly outside the gate, Lin Lina wore a large hat and sunglasses and cautiously stood on the inside of the gate, observing the situation.

After all, she had been in the news for being sentenced in the Ning family inheritance dispute, and even though she was pardoned in China thanks to the intervention of the United States, she was still somewhat guilty. There were too many people outside, and some were even live-streaming; she didn't want to be noticed.

"Look, everyone!" a livestreamer shouted, holding up his phone. "Those foreign guys, wow, they're as strong as bears! Their arms are thicker than my thighs!"

"Viewers who come to my live stream, please follow me!"

"What? You want me to ask them if they used drugs to grow such big chunks of flesh, and only after that will you pay attention to me?"

"Okay! The streamer will grant your request!"

He ran over while shouting.

He picked the biggest blond white man and was about to speak.

The other person spoke in perfect Mandarin, coldly rebuking, "You're too noisy. People in your country are all noisy!"

"Hey? You speak Mandarin, buddy?" the anchor said with a grin. "Then I'll interview you for a bit—"

Before he could finish speaking, the blond-haired white man grabbed his collar, lifted him up with one hand, and threw him aside, yelling, "Get out of my way!"

The anchor fell flat on his back, causing an uproar among the onlookers.

Ning Yao had asked the restaurant manager to act as a temporary emcee, so he quickly stepped forward to maintain order, shouting through a megaphone, "Everyone! Please keep order! You can watch, but please don't interfere!"

"These ten foreign friends are all soldiers from Country M, their names are... something..."

He couldn't recall what Ning Yao had told him for a moment, so he stammered and turned to look at Ning Yao.

The blond-haired, white-haired man snatched the megaphone from him and said in a booming voice, "We are all soldiers of the US Raptor Special Forces Commando! Today we're going to beat these five retired soldiers from your country to a pulp!"

The onlookers' expressions instantly turned ugly.

The M Country Raptor Special Forces Commando Unit is indeed an internationally renowned and formidable special forces unit.

But to come to our territory and make such a fuss is simply too arrogant.

Ning Yao crossed her arms, a smile in her eyes, and said to Ning Jinli standing beside her:

"Sorry, cousin, I forgot to tell you who they are. Those retired soldiers from your country are probably scared out of their wits by now, right? Oh, and I should tell you something else. These Raptor Special Forces members look down on and discriminate against your country's soldiers. They might not hold back when they start fighting. Why don't you call a few ambulances to come and prepare in advance?"

Ning Jinli remained unfazed, ignoring the provocative words, and simply watched the five special operations team members quietly.

In the open space, the restaurant manager wiped away his cold sweat, forced a smile, and timidly took the megaphone back from the blond-haired white man. He asked in a low voice, "Are you... all of you going to attack together? Ten against five, that's not fair..."

The blond, white-haired man sneered, took off his suit jacket, revealing a tight brown short-sleeved T-shirt underneath.

Once he took off his coat, his muscular physique was on full display.

Each muscle bulges high, exuding a powerful and majestic presence with every movement.

He casually tossed his suit jacket at the restaurant manager's face and said dismissively, "I can take care of these five veterans by myself!"
