The story synopsis is simple.
Cheng Mingli and Qiao Sinian went out to eat together.
The perpetrator—who now seems more like the victim—was mesmerized by Qiao Sinian, who had an exotic beauty.
He tried to strike up a conversation, but Qiao Sinian didn't respond.
This guy was out with a few friends, and feeling humiliated by being rejected by the girl, he tried to touch her inappropriately.
But before he could even put it into practice, Cheng Mingli started arguing with him.
Lu Yibei figured this guy must be drunk, so drunk that he couldn't even remember his own name.
If it weren't for the alcohol emboldening this coward.
How dare he flirt with a girl brought up by a burly man like Cheng Mingli? Putting aside the fact that this perpetrator looked so petite and charming in comparison to his group—Cheng Mingli's palm was bigger than his face, making his oily, chubby face look like a "palm-sized face."
Even when Qiao Sinian stood up, this nearly 1.8-meter-tall man was still considerably taller than him…
"Call the police."
Lu Yibei said to Qiao Sinian, "I'll consult a lawyer."
The perpetrator, wrapped in bandages—his gruesome appearance made it impossible for Lu Yibei to immediately discern his age.
But the friends who were with him were either in their thirties or forties, or in their early twenties.
They must be colleagues or coworkers.
The older one was taken aback upon hearing this, then let out a cold laugh:
"Young man, I advise you to pay some money and settle this. Look how badly your friend beat my brother up. When the police arrive, even if it doesn't result in a criminal sentence, it will affect your graduation—you're college students, right? It won't look good on your personnel files, and that will affect your job prospects—"
Lu Yibei smiled slightly, pursing her lips:
"No need for you to worry, I understand, that's why I consulted a lawyer—you should also find a lawyer, so we can decide how to determine the sentence."
As he spoke, he glanced at the person who had just said something, but whose neck, protected by a neck brace, was throbbing with pain and he couldn't utter a single word.
To be honest, Lu Yibei, a conservative, felt that Cheng Mingli was too conservative.
But rationally speaking, this guy's injuries are indeed quite serious... Team leader must have used excessive force, and if it goes to court, it will be a disadvantage for him.
But then again...
Someone flirted with Senior Sister Qiao, and Cheng Gu was lucky to have escaped being beaten to death.
“I admit, I slapped him.”
Cheng Mingli leaned back in his chair, clicked his tongue, and didn't even bother to look at the seriously injured perpetrator: "His body was so weak that he was knocked down by a single slap. But after he got up, he was so scared that he wet his pants. When he saw me, he kept backing away, which caused him to lose his footing and roll down the steps. His neck then hit the steps with a crack, and he ended up in this state—he only has himself to blame."
Lu Yibei: ...
No, feelings aren't something you can just beat up, are they?
The youngest, with a fiery temper, immediately wanted to retort:
"This is a series of consequences you caused; don't think you can escape responsibility!"
Lu Yibei glanced at the guy, then asked Cheng Mingli behind him, "How many people were involved?"
Cheng Mingli casually pointed, including all four of them.
Lu Yibei then looked at the most seriously injured perpetrator.
If you're not a true brother, find some other friends—to get beaten like this in a one-on-four situation, your teammates are terrible.
"Then this kid resorted to dirty tricks."
Cheng Mingli gestured with his chin toward the youngest one: "I got hit by a folding stool—if they hadn't been worried about something happening and stopped him, and if I hadn't been stopped by Old Qiao, he would still be standing here making a scene. If he were still standing here, I wouldn't be Cheng Mingli."
As he spoke, he smiled at the youngest one, revealing a set of white teeth.
Cheng Mingli usually has a kind and honest older brother image, but his smile now is quite creepy.
The youngest one, though hot-tempered, was stunned by Cheng Mingli's smile, which was like a bucket of ice water. He was momentarily speechless, and finally forced himself to say, "You fucking hit my brother, and you're not allowed to fight back?!"
But he didn't say this to Cheng Mingli at all; instead, he said it to Lu Yibei, who was standing next to him.
Although the latter constantly talks about calling the police and using lawyers, he is at least quiet and reserved, unlike Cheng Mingli who is fierce.
Look how natural his smile is.
Lu Yibei smiled knowingly.
"Got it, he hit your brother, so if you hit him back, you won't be held responsible... Well, if you hit my brother, and I break your arm right here, I should be fine too, right?"
The youngest one: "..."
He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, he realized he was being threatened. Just as he was about to explode in anger, Lu Yibei coldly interrupted him:
"I originally thought it was a fight between two people."
"I didn't expect it to be a group fight. The situation of a bunch of people beating up one person is completely different from one person beating up one person."
"Furthermore, your brother was the one who started the trouble and was also drunk."
"Then the weapon that broke my friend's arm was a folding chair, which would be considered an armed brawl—I don't know what will happen to my friend, and I don't know what will happen to your brother. But you, if you want to fight back, go find a lawyer first. If you don't know one, I can introduce you. If you don't want to fight back, get ready to shave your head."
As he spoke, Lu Yibei ignored the dumbfounded young man and turned to the middle-aged man who had called him "young man":
