"You...you let go of my son!"
The child's mother turned pale with fright and, somewhat losing her composure, ordered Li Qichen, "He's just a child! You can't hurt him!"
Her meaning was clear: because her son was just a child, whatever he did should be forgiven.
This kind of person is extremely selfish.
The father of the unruly child, however, assessed the situation and softened his attitude, pleading with Li Qichen:
"Brother, let's talk this out. Release my son first, and I'll make him sincerely apologize to your little darling, okay?"
He was completely devoid of his previous arrogant demeanor, which had threatened to beat someone up.
Seeing this, the diners in the hot pot restaurant were secretly pleased and all gathered around to watch, whispering and discussing among themselves. Some even took out their phones to secretly take pictures.
Anyway, no one was willing to stand up for the brat's family, and they all silently supported Li Qichen in their hearts.
Because he did what they wanted to do but dared not do, he was a true warrior!
Absolutely stunning! So cool!
Li Qichen naturally knew that the child's father was just using delaying tactics and did not genuinely want his child to apologize.
Then, a faint smile curved the corners of Li Qichen's lips, carrying a hint of mockery:
"A sincere apology? Do you think your brat has even a shred of sincerity? He's such a little kid, yet his heart is so wicked! He maliciously bullied the waitress and even threw dirty things from the table into other customers' hot pots. He's so young, yet so full of bad intentions!"
Li Qichen seemed to have a silver tongue, and he retorted mercilessly to the parents of the unruly child:
"You two as parents are no good either. Your child has become like this because of your influence. Like father, like son. With your moral character, how can you even have the nerve to have offspring?"
"Take my advice and stop your genes now! Don't have another one, two, or three brats to torment passersby!"
His words successfully elicited heartfelt and enthusiastic applause from the onlookers.
Suddenly, the child's parents' faces turned extremely ugly.
They've never been criticized like this before in their entire lives.
The mother of the unruly child rolled her eyes at Li Qichen and said, "How...how can you talk like that! What business is it of yours whether we have children or not? You're just being nosy!"
Li Qichen raised a long eyebrow and crossed his arms, saying, "It's none of my business if you have a bunch of unruly kids, but if you let your unruly kids cause trouble for others, then I'll have to act on behalf of Heaven!"
The father of the unruly child once again revealed his true colors, rudely yelling at Li Qichen, "Are you out of your mind?! My child just said a few unpleasant things to you and your child, is it really necessary for you to get so angry?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qichen immediately smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm just petty and like to nitpick. If your brat says something unpleasant, I'm going to take it to heart and argue with him to the end!"
"Moreover, I do have some mental issues, so if I do anything rash later, please don't hold it against me. Just consider it a mental breakdown."
As he spoke, Li Qichen continued to exert force with his hand, as if he really wanted to push the naughty child's head into the boiling hot pot broth.
Those around him involuntarily gasped, knowing that if the brat's head were really pushed into the hot pot broth, he would at least be disfigured, or worse, lose his life.
Is this young, handsome man really going to do this?!
Xiao Yanbao was also somewhat frightened by his fourth uncle's display of force, fearing that his fourth uncle might do something unworthy because of a naughty child, which would have a negative impact on his fourth uncle.
Just as I was about to stop him, I heard that baby-like voice again:
"Quick! Push his head down! Push it down! Let him die! Let him die!"
The voice clearly became agitated, filled with endless resentment and tyranny.
Xiao Yanbao's eyes widened involuntarily.
So, that mischievous kid was the person the voice was looking for!
Steam kept billowing from the boiling hot pot, splashing onto the brat's face and stinging his skin.
He seemed genuinely afraid, and cried even louder, tears and snot streaming down his face as he begged for help:
"Mom and Dad, please help me!"
"I won't do it again! I'll never do it again!"
He begged for mercy while struggling desperately to break free from Li Qichen's grasp.
But he was still a child after all, and even though Li Qichen was very thin, he could easily control that brat and render him unable to move.
Faced with the child's pleas for mercy, Li Qichen merely scoffed dismissively:
"You're quite adept at begging for mercy. Looks like you've done your fair share of bad things and been taught a lesson!"
Endless mockery.
Li Qichen, however, had no intention of letting this brat off the hook.
Continue pressing the child's head close to the hot pot, letting the child's face be steamed by the rising heat from the hot pot.
He's so shameless, he needs to be taught a lesson!
Li Qichen wasn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't actually shove the brat's head into the hot pot and then get himself thrown in jail.
Besides, it's too bloody and violent. We can't leave any childhood trauma on our little Yanbao in front of him.
