After hearing these words, the thief gradually calmed down and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't have anything you want to know here. If you want to find out information, go to the restaurant. Can you let me go?"
Ning Ye shook his head and said, "You stole my things first, so it's not unreasonable for me to teach you a lesson. I'm just asking some questions now. If you answer them obediently, I might even give you a little reward."
After saying that, Ning Ye let go of his hand, but his eyes were still fixed on the thief. After hesitating for a while, the thief said, "I want to eat first."
No matter where you are, food is the most important thing for people, and that's true, especially considering the various inns and restaurants that can be found everywhere in the town.
After all, the most important things when entering the desert are food and water. In the desert, even going without water for just one day is an immense suffering for a person.
When Ning Ye brought the thief into the restaurant, the waiters there were extremely disgusted with him.
"Sir, where did you catch this little beggar? Our shop is very clean, why don't you take him out?"
Ning Ye took out a piece of silver from his purse and flicked it at the waiter. "This is a tip for you. Bring me whatever is the best in your shop."
When the waiter saw that such a large piece of silver was actually his, his voice immediately rose a notch, and he changed his previous disdainful attitude, "Distinguished guest, please serve the best wine and dishes!"
"Come, come, sir, let me find you a quiet spot so we can wipe the table properly."
No wonder Ning Ye and the others took their seats, while the thief remained very uneasy after sitting down, constantly observing his surroundings.
Ning Ye asked casually, "Waiter, do you have any good rooms here?"
The waiter, who was diligently wiping the table, immediately said, "Yes, of course! Sir, I'm not bragging, but our rooms are definitely the best we have right now. No other place can compare."
"Then give me another superior room, and tell the kitchen to boil water for a bath as well."
"Alright, I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare right away. The fine wine and dishes you ordered will be served shortly, so please don't worry."
Ning Ye glanced at the thief; he wasn't very tall, maybe just over 1.5 meters. Judging from his voice, he must be a young man who had just come of age.
Ning Ye was originally planning to enjoy a good meal after the fine wine and food were served, but before the wine and food arrived, an uninvited guest appeared.
The thief, who was looking around suspiciously, immediately hid under the table after seeing a burly man walk into the inn and a slovenly fellow behind him.
Unfortunately, the burly man was clearly coming for him, and walked straight toward Ning Ye's table.
When he arrived in front of Ning Ye, the big man said, "I'm really sorry to disturb your meal. One of my little guys has been captured by you. Could you please return him to me?"
Ning Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh, the person I just arrested was one of yours. Shouldn't you apologize to me? Otherwise, why should I return him to you?"
The burly man laughed heartily as if he had heard a funny joke, and even the guests eating around him looked at him with a mocking smile.
For a moment, Ning Ye felt as if he were on a deserted island, with malice surging in from all directions.
This discovery made Ning Ye realize that the big man in front of him might not be an ordinary person, and there must be something different about him.
"Kid, this isn't a place for you to run wild. I'm telling you to hand over the person, so you'd better hand them over obediently, or you'll be the one in trouble."
Unfortunately, Ning Ye really doesn't tolerate this kind of behavior. When it comes to being arrogant and domineering, it's embarrassing to say that Ning Ye has never felt that he would lose in this regard.
“Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, look at how he speaks to your young master. I feel very uncomfortable with his attitude. Help him change it.”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately stood up and pounced on the burly man like hungry tigers. The burly man took two steps back, and the five or six thugs behind him blocked his way.
Unfortunately, these five or six thugs weren't even good enough to warm up Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and they didn't give the burly man a chance to catch his breath. After taking two steps back, the strong man suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from his waist and stabbed forward fiercely.
Unfortunately, the instant the dagger touched the ground, Zhang Long had already grabbed the burly man's wrist and snatched the dagger away, while Zhao Hu kicked the burly man right in the chest.
If he weren't a strong man with decent physical abilities, Zhao Hu's kick would have killed him instantly.
Unfortunately, after the burly man fell to the ground, Zhang Long grabbed his hair and twisted him up. The excruciating pain instantly made the man realize that he had indeed provoked someone he shouldn't have.
Ning Ye looked down at the burly man and said, "I think you should learn to speak properly now. So, what's your name?"
"Young master, spare my life! I, Horse Face, am just a street urchin; it's no wonder you've gone to such lengths."
"I don't think so. You were very arrogant before, so you must have someone backing you. Why don't you tell me and let me hear it to see if I'm scared? What if I am scared?"
"No, those are just common phrases used on the street. You absolutely mustn't believe them. I was blind to your greatness. Just ignore me."
Ning Ye sighed and said, "I was in a pretty good mood for dinner, but you ruined it. What do you suggest we do about this?"
Horse Face hurriedly said, "Young master, this meal is on me. You can eat or drink whatever you like. I will pay for everything, no matter how much it costs."
"If that's what you mean, then I'll spare your life. I have a use for that little guy, you know what I mean?"
"I understand, of course I understand. From now on, this person has nothing to do with me. It's all up to you, young master."
Ning Ye nodded in satisfaction. "Then let's do it this way. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, you two take care of them and lead them out. Each of them should slap themselves fifty times. If anyone doesn't slap themselves hard enough, you can do it for them."
When the horse-faced man heard the first sentence, he thought Ning Ye had already let them go. But now he's slapping himself in the street. How will he save face in the town after this?
