Fu Rongzhi nodded and picked up the things on the ground. "Shall I take these things back with me?"

Su Ran shook her head. "No need, just give it back to that old man. I just wanted to have a go."

Fu Rongzhi nodded upon hearing this and followed behind Su Ran, carrying his things.

Su Ran tried to communicate with the old man, but after learning his purpose, the old man shook his head and waved his hands, "No, if you take these things, they are yours."

Seeing that the old man wouldn't accept the items, Su Ran told Fu Rongzhi to put them down. Then, she took Fu Rongzhi's wrist and led him through the crowd, leaving the place where the dolls were placed.

They only let go of the person after walking for a while.

Fu Rongzhi froze when those hands were placed on his wrists, staring at those fair and slender hands resting on his wrists.

Su Ran turned around and saw Fu Rongzhi looking down at his wrist. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it happened suddenly."

Fu Rongzhi withdrew his gaze. "It's nothing. Where do you want to go now?" After saying that, he felt something was off, but after thinking about it for a while, he ultimately didn't explain.

Upon hearing the reply, Su Ran was momentarily at a loss for what to do, but her enthusiasm didn't wane. After a moment's thought, she said, "Let's go get some skewers."

Fu Rongzhi was a little stunned, as if he had thought of something, and then nodded. He only knew this word when his teammates were on missions in the wild.

Fu Rongzhi's eyes gleamed slightly, then he took a deep breath and looked at Su Ran, "Okay."

Su Ran didn't understand Fu Rongzhi's emotional fluctuations. She looked around and saw a barbecue restaurant with a lot of people. She grabbed his wrist again and walked towards their destination.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the two casually found a seat, picked up the menu on the table, and began ordering.

After ordering, Fu Rongzhi habitually went to pay first.

Su Ran sat down and looked around. There were many people, some in pairs, some in groups of three or five, some sisters in a party, some brothers in a party, it was very lively.

Su Ran watched the people around her drinking and eating skewers, talking about funny stories, or discussing work-related issues.

After Fu Rongzhi paid and returned, the barbecue and alcohol were served.

Seeing that Fu Rongzhi hadn't drunk any of the wine she poured for him, and considering his profession, she immediately stood up and went to the freezer to get him a can of cola.

Fu Rongzhi looked at the soda in front of him and smiled slightly. "Thank you."

"fine."

Su Ran didn't care about her image, taking a bite of meat and a sip of wine, truly enjoying herself.

...

Are you crazy?!

A woman's voice rang out in the barbecue restaurant. The sound wasn't very noticeable in the noisy place. Su Ran and Fu Rongzhi were sitting quite far away, but their heightened alertness still made them look over there. "What's going on over there?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Rongzhi shook his head and was about to get up to go and see, but Su Ran saw that he was about to go and did not get up.

Suddenly.

A sound of a bottle shattering rang out, followed by an indistinct commotion.

Upon seeing this, Fu Rongzhi immediately went over, and Su Ran also got up and walked in that direction.

As I approached, I saw a group of grown men violently beating four girls. The sounds of chairs being smashed, bottles breaking, and angry curses and filthy slander filled the air.

Because the two were quite far apart, and some people had fled the scene on their way over, it wasn't easy for them to get there.

However, a large area was left untouched at the scene of the crime, and no one around intervened.

A girl felt sorry for the girl who was being beaten and wanted to go and help her, but her boyfriend held her back.

Seeing this, Fu Rongzhi didn't turn around. "Go to a safe corner and call the police."

Fu Rongzhi rushed forward without waiting for Su Ran's reply. Upon hearing this, Su Ran turned to the nearest girl and said, "Help me call the police."

The girl flinched in fear, and there was already blood on the ground. But when she saw Su Ran, she said with some concern, "Don't go, you'll get hurt."

Su Ran felt her clothes being tugged, and upon hearing the girl's words, she whispered, "If I don't go, those girls might get hurt even more."

The girl loosened her grip, her mind filled with Su Ran's words. After a half-second pause, she took out her phone to gather evidence before walking aside and calling the police.

Su Ran grabbed a stick from the side and joined the melee. Fu Rongzhi was also dodging punches, bottles, and chairs coming from all around, trying his best to protect the girl being hit. But there were too many people on the other side. Even though Fu Rongzhi was protecting the girl, one of them was always dragged out and beaten.

No one came up to him, but he knew there were too many people on the other side, and if he came, he might get beaten up and end up in the hospital.

Suddenly, Fu Rongzhi heard a voice, "Come on."

Fu Rongzhi caught the stick that was thrown to him, and his eyes met Su Ran's. He showed no joy, but instead frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

Su Ran picked up a stick and hit a man's leg as he walked by, replying to Fu Rongzhi, "You can't be the only one to snatch the sweet job of being a hero and saving a beauty."

Fu Rongzhi didn't say anything more. With their help, the four girls were well protected and no longer subjected to punches and kicks from the other side. Su Ran noticed that the girls were all injured, some of them seriously, their faces covered in blood, and their snow-white clothes stained with blood and mud.

Su Ran didn't know what had happened, but protecting the girl was her instinct.

Fu Rongzhi was a soldier, so his skills were naturally excellent, especially when facing this group of thugs, he completely dominated them.

With Su Ran joining the fray, Fu Rongzhi no longer held back. Those who were knocked to the ground were in so much pain that they couldn't get up at all, and a whole bunch of them collapsed on the ground in an instant.

Su Ran struck the last person with a stick. By this time, all the perpetrators were on the ground. The surrounding noise was extremely loud and the scene was somewhat chaotic, but the police had not yet arrived. Their response time was truly impressive.

Hearing the incessant chatter, she picked up a nearby wine bottle and slammed the bottle against the table. The bottle shattered, and the surrounding people fell silent instantly, except for the gasps of the person who had fallen to the ground.

"Speak, why did you attack?"

Su Ran pointed the broken bottle at the green-clad man lying on the ground, her tone full of impatience. Seeing the girls with bloodied heads, she looked at them with pity, then turned to Fu Rongzhi and said, "Call 120."

The man in green clutched his chest, his eyes filled with rage. "You bitch, you dare hit me? I'll make you regret this!"

Su Ran truly hadn't expected this man to still be so stubborn. She placed one foot on the man's chest, bent down slightly, and brought the half-broken wine bottle close to the man in green. "This is the capital city. Do you think you can control everything?"

The man in green had a sinister look on his face. "When the police come, you won't be able to escape. You just wait. You're just like those filthy bitches, disgusting. Coming out in the middle of the night, aren't you just being restless? And you're still pretending to be innocent. When the police come, none of you will escape."
