Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned.

She encounters all sorts of people while selling clothes, and she's not afraid of hooligans like this.

But in this situation, she didn't want to pay any attention to it.

He simply turned his face to the side.

Unexpectedly, the man sat down directly in the seat next to her, where Huo Beixiao was sitting, and reached out to grab her hand. "Hey, beautiful, I'm calling you, didn't you hear me?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, and without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped the other person across the face.

Deng Hongying was talking to her boyfriend Liu Hongjun with their heads close together and didn't notice Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Upon hearing the crisp sound of a slap, both of them turned to look.

The tattooed young man who had tried to grab Jiang Qiaoqiao's hand got slapped and immediately showed a fierce look. "You dare hit me, you little wench, don't push your luck..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao immediately raised her hand and slapped him twice more. "You're a hooligan who harasses women. I'll hit you whenever I want. Do I need to pick a day?"

The young man never expected Jiang Qiaoqiao to be so assertive, and his face turned green with anger.

With a wave of his hand, several thugs with tattoos on their necks or wrists, just like him, immediately gathered from all directions of the movie theater.

As soon as these thugs gathered, some of those who had been itching to help Jiang Qiaoqiao reprimand the thugs immediately fell silent and sat back down.

At this moment, the scoundrel who had just flirted with Jiang Qiaoqiao, known as Brother Ou, touched his face and said with a wicked smile, "This little wench is pretty hot. I like her. Come on, call her sister-in-law!"

"sister in law!"

Suddenly, in the huge movie theater, more than a dozen thugs shouted "Sister-in-law!" in unison, their voices deafening.

Jiang Qiaoqiao calmly glanced at the group of thugs.

She wasn't afraid, after all, in her past life, she had dealt with all sorts of hooligans in order to help Qin Haiyang open up his business.

These petty thugs weren't even worth her attention.

But Deng Hongying, standing beside her, grew anxious. She gripped Liu Hongjun's hand tightly, her voice trembling with nervousness. "Hongjun..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Hongjun patted her hand reassuringly and got up to go past her to help Jiang Qiaoqiao.

But just as Deng Hongjun stood up, before he could move, Huo Beixiao returned.

When Huo Beixiao entered the movie theater, he happened to hear that deafening shout of "Sister-in-law!" and learned what had happened from the whispers of the people next to him.

At this moment, his face was cold and stern, and his sharp aura was chilling.

He walked straight past the group of hooligans and went to Jiang Qiaoqiao's side.

His cold gaze fell on Brother Ou. "Did you tell these people to call me wife or sister-in-law?"

Even Ou Ge was stunned for a moment when he saw Huo Beixiao's imposing aura.

But he quickly calmed down; he had so many underlings behind him!

If he backs down now, what prestige will he have among these underlings? How will he ever be able to get by?

"Heh, your wife, now that Brother Ou has taken a liking to her, she's my wife." Brother Ou said, raising his chin and shaking his leg, looking completely nonchalant.

Jiang Qiaoqiao stepped out from behind Huo Beixiao, holding Huo Beixiao's mobile phone, and said, "I can call the police right now. Do you know what kind of punishment is given for hooliganism?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao remembers that the crime of hooliganism was to be abolished when the law was revised in the last two years, but the law has not been revised yet.

So the crime of hooliganism is still quite intimidating.

“You flirted with me, and everyone in our movie studio can testify to that!” Jiang Qiaoqiao’s sharp gaze met Ou Ge’s.

Looking at the mobile phone in Jiang Qiaoqiao's hand, Ou Ge couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

These mobile phones are rare and in high demand; one costs over ten thousand yuan. He can't afford a new one, so he wants to get a used one to show off.

But if you don't have connections, you can't even get a second-hand one.

Has he messed with someone he shouldn't have?

But he couldn't lose face in front of his underlings, so he tried his best to maintain his composure and said, "Why bother the police with such a small matter?"

He looked at Huo Beixiao and said, "Let's resolve our issues like men do!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao thought Huo Beixiao wouldn't agree to such a stupid thing.

But to everyone's surprise, Huo Beixiao said, "After the movie ends, let's find a place to practice properly."

A smug glint flashed in Ou Ge's eyes. "You said it yourself, so don't regret it!"

Huo Beixiao remained noncommittal, only giving him a sharp look.

Ou Ge, being quite sensible, replied, "Okay, I'll come find you after the movie!"

Just then, the movie started, and Brother Ou and his gang obediently returned to their seats.

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but frown and ask Huo Beixiao, "Why did you agree to fight them? We could have just called the police."

Huo Beixiao held Jiang Qiaoqiao's small hand in his large hand, enveloping it, and gave her a reassuring look, saying, "It's been a while since I've practiced, and I'm itching to get my hands moving. They just happened to run into us, so honey, let me have a go."

Jiang Qiaoqiao had figured it out by then. The reason he agreed to the thug's request was because the thug hadn't caused her any real harm.

With the definition of hooliganism becoming increasingly blurred in the past two years, given the extent to which the hooligan harassed her just now, even if the police were called and arrested, they would at most give her a warning.

Once they are released, they may become even more ruthless.

It would be better to just beat them into submission!

Although she understood his thoughts, Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Deng Hongying, who was standing next to her, whispered to her, "Comrade, why don't you persuade your husband to call the police instead of confronting Ou Gang head-on?"

Ou Gang was a notorious thug in our area. And he was particularly cunning; he knew how to keep his distance when doing bad things. He wouldn't commit major crimes, but he'd constantly get into minor ones. Even if the police arrested him, they'd only detain him for fifteen days at most before releasing him.

"This kind of person is like a leech; whoever messes with them is doomed!"

Hearing Deng Hongying's words, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt helpless. "My man just agreed that even if we call the police now, the officers will just give him a lecture and then release him."

He still won't let it go easily then.

Hearing this, Deng Hongying frowned and worried along with Jiang Qiaoqiao. "You're right."

She couldn't help but turn to her boyfriend, "Hongjun, you're a soldier, what do you think we should do about this?"
