Brother Niu sneered and beckoned his men to approach the two men, saying, "You dare to cause trouble here? I'll make you regret it!"
Just then, the door was kicked open.
Brother Niu was right by the door, about to pounce like a tiger, when he got kicked in the butt and flew through the air, crashing to the ground with a thud.
He touched the blood that had come out of his chin, completely stunned. What had happened?!
Du Fenglang was the first to react, excitedly shouting, "Miss Ruan!"
He was so happy he almost cried. Thank goodness, the rescue has finally arrived!
He almost thought they were doomed today.
If Mr. Gu were to fall into the hands of these villains because of his negligence, he would be filled with remorse!
Du Fenglang knew Mingzhuo's abilities all too well. Back then, when the two of them disguised themselves as father and daughter to invite a fortune teller, it was Mingzhuo who single-handedly took down a group of cult members!
He felt his back straighten up; this shady shop, trying to bully the few with its numbers, would soon be proven wrong.
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Mr. Gu will be in for a beating!
Gu Xu was still trying to save himself before Ming Zhuo kicked open the door.
Today he wore a black silk shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a section of fair but strong forearm, exuding a noble and aloof air.
He picked up a red plastic stool, intending to use it as a weapon to clear a path.
When he saw Mingzhuo come in, he was stunned and stood there staring at Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo walked over and looked at him in surprise, "Axu, are you fighting with someone?"
Gu Xu looked down at the mess on the ground and said, "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."
He thought it was a bit bad that he had shown Mingzhuo his violent and barbaric side.
Mingzhuo really wanted to laugh. She had seen Gu Xu fight before and he had clearly received formal martial arts training. She never expected that he would use such unorthodox methods.
"You did what I wanted to do! You deserved it, you did a great job!" Mingzhuo patted Gu Xu on the shoulder and praised him with a smile.
"Ah Xu, you're amazing! I'm so glad you came, otherwise I would have had to endure the disgust while waiting for them to serve the food, and I wouldn't have been able to flip the table so easily."
Gu Xu was surprised to receive such praise and paused for a moment before putting down the plastic stool.
The youths and thugs realized that this was yet another person who had come to cause trouble!
Brother Niu was helped up by his men, and he was absolutely furious. "Kill them right now! You bastards, I've never suffered such humiliation before!"
Someone sounded an alarm towards the store, and hurried footsteps came from all directions.
Mingzhuo stood in front of Gu Xu: "A Xu, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
In her opinion, it's fine for Ah-Xu to spar with others, but there's no need for her to get involved in a chaotic brawl like this.
Ah Xu is such a beautiful and pure person, she should be protected. How could these ugly things be worthy of Ah Xu's attention?
Gu Xu: "..."
He should say something, but he wasn't afraid at all.
The reason I accepted Du Fenglang's invitation to investigate the strangeness of this shop today is because I knew Mingzhuo was filming a variety show nearby.
Rumors of delicious wild boar meat at the mountain homestays have been circulating for a long time and are quite famous in the area. He believes the production team will definitely take the guests to the mountain homestays to enjoy the food.
Whenever Mingzhuo goes to a mountain homestay, he notices something is off about the place and then finds his way here.
So he wasn't in a hurry at all. As long as he knew that Mingzhuo was somewhere in this farmhouse, he dared to make a ruckus.
He spoke up from behind Ming Zhuo: "Du Fenglang and I came here to investigate the theft of ancestral graves in a mountain family. There's something wrong with the wild boar meat from that family."
Actually, Mingzhuo understood what was going on as soon as he came in and saw the food on the ground.
The vegetables were real vegetables, and the meat was real pork, but they added some other things to it.
An ordinary person would have been fooled long ago, but Gu Xu is no ordinary person.
He was immune to all evil, and illusions had no effect on him, so he could clearly see those rotten and foul-smelling things.
How could they possibly eat those dishes?
Gu Xu added, "They said this was a private banquet specially prepared for me, and that others didn't eat like this. I guess they're trying to catch a big fish with a long line, and they're eyeing my wealth."
"Different?" Mingzhuo got angry as soon as he heard that. "You're actually treating me differently? Tell me now, what kind of food do you want me to eat?"
She kicked a plate on the ground, and one of the plates flew out and hit Brother Niu right on the forehead.
Brother Niu touched his hand and found it covered in blood. He was furious: "Go eat this in the underworld!"
Mingzhuo: "Okay, why don't you go to the underworld first and set up the stove and cookware for me, and then invite me over?"
As she spoke, she kicked a frisbee after another, and the thugs were so frightened that they all retreated. What kind of new kind of hidden weapon was this? They had never seen a fight like this before!
And does she have eyes in the back of her head? Why can't she dodge the plate's attack no matter what angle she's facing?
Mingzhuo led the way out of the private room with a few people.
Qiao Song and Luo Wenxin were in the hallway by the door. Qiao Song said nervously, "Advisor Ruan, what should we do? So many people are coming!"
In the corridor ahead, a group of people carrying shoulder poles and hoes appeared, looking quite intimidating.
What's worse, he saw a faint red glow on the horizon, clearly indicating that a formation had been activated to trap them inside.
Luo Wenxin closed her folding fan, her face contorted with grief. "What do I do now? If I fight, will the police charge me with mutual assault? No, wait, I don't know how to fight at all!"
As an intellectual, he always persuaded people with reason and never actually got into a fight with anyone!
Qiao Song: "I... I've never fought with so many people before."
He used to catch ghosts, but cultivators shouldn't lay a hand on ordinary people, so he didn't specifically train in that skill.
This has left me at a loss, unable to offer any real help.
Mingzhuo looked at the two people who had shrunk behind him: "..."
She grabbed one of them by the collar and threw him away. "What are you hiding for? You've already pushed Ah Xu aside! He's the weak, ordinary person. One of you is a sorcerer, and the other is a scholar with one foot in the Xuanmen sect. How dare you hide?"
Luo Wenxin and Qiao Song glanced silently at Gu Xu, who had kicked away the thug who rushed at them: "..."
Consultant Ruan, do you have some misunderstanding about what "weakness" means?
Mingzhuo flashed in front of Gu Xu and knocked down several of the thugs who were nearby.
Gu Xu kicked open the door to the next private room and raised his voice to warn, "This is a shady establishment, everyone come out quickly."
Du Fenglang picked up the stick that had fallen to the ground and then knocked on the private rooms on both sides one by one.
Seeing this, Luo Wenxin and Qiao Song quickly stepped forward to help warn others.
Most of the rooms were impossible to open; the people inside refused to come out, saying they wouldn't cause trouble with us and advised us not to act recklessly.
Gu Xu's method was the most effective. He dragged the people out, looked them in a bronze mirror, and they all suddenly realized what was happening.
He stopped obsessing over eating wild boar meat and, seeing the situation was not right, immediately cowered behind a few people, trembling with fear.
