A huge poster was displayed in front of the Kelai Restaurant, showing Zhao Lin giving a thumbs-up and revealing a set of white teeth. The figure behind him was clearly inside a private room of the Kelai Restaurant.
The poster didn't have any promotional slogans, but Zhao Lin's beaming smile expressed his satisfaction with the food.
Zhao Lin is the richest man in Jiangcheng. He not only came to the restaurant in the county town to eat, but he came twice and even allowed photos to be taken, which shows that the food here is really delicious.
Many people came because of its reputation, initially just out of curiosity to give it a try.
The food here is not only affordable, but also so delicious that many people say it's the best meal they've ever had in their lives.
The area in front of the restaurant was filled with stools, all occupied by diners waiting to eat, leaving Zhang Fan with almost no room to stand.
The reputation of Kelai Restaurant soared, while nearby restaurants became deserted, causing them great distress.
As Zhang Fan was squeezing inside, a fierce voice suddenly came from behind him: "Boss! Where's the boss?!"
He turned around and saw several restaurant owners who had come with Wei Luo earlier, looking menacing and ready to interrogate him.
The diners were frightened by the group of menacing-looking people. Those who were nearby were so scared that they stood up from their stools and moved far away.
Zhang Fan, standing motionless in place, stood out conspicuously.
"You, get out of the way!" the newcomer said fiercely to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan said calmly, "Who are you?"
The man's subordinate said, "This is Huang Yu, the owner of Jiangfeng Restaurant, and also the creditor of Kelai Restaurant. We're here today to collect the debt."
Zhang Fan: "Oh."
His nonchalant tone made Huang Yu feel ignored and extremely embarrassed.
Huang Yu: "I've seen you before. You and Bai Rou'er are together. We're here to collect a debt today. You'd better get out of the way. My subordinate is the provincial boxing champion. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt in a fight."
A tall, muscular man walked out, his arms broad and muscular, veins bulging, as he moved his neck and wrists, his joints making a cracking sound.
Some diners recognized the thugs.
“I know this guy. He’s from the next village. He’s loved fighting since he was a kid. I heard he even killed someone when he was twelve. He was too young to take legal responsibility, so he went on to boxing.”
"No wonder he looks so menacing."
"That's terrifying. A fist the size of a sandbag could kill me with one punch."
Zhang Fan remained calm: "Oh."
"You..." Huang Yu was ignored again, and his temper flared up. "Get him!"
Upon hearing this, the thug clenched his fist and punched Zhang Fan without hesitation.
Zhang Fan noticed that these young men had some muscle on their arms, but he knew them well enough to develop it with a little exercise; it was nothing compared to his long-term weight training.
The thug didn't use much force at all; he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would kill Zhang Fan with one punch.
"Zhang Fan." Bai Rou'er's voice trembled with fear.
Hearing the commotion, she immediately ran downstairs and saw the thugs raising their iron fists to strike Zhang Fan.
Many of the timid diners in the crowd closed their eyes in fear, afraid of witnessing a bloody scene.
The thug's fist came crashing down on Zhang Fan's head, but Zhang Fan deftly dodged it, holding the packaged medicine in both hands.
The thug missed his target, and his fist chased after Zhang Fan again.
Unexpectedly, the next punch missed again, not even touching the corner of Zhang Fan's clothes.
The thug's eyes turned bloodshot, his jaw clenched, his fists clenched, and the veins on his neck bulged: "Die! Die!!!"
Some people curiously opened their eyes and saw the thugs chasing after Zhang Fan, but they missed every time, as if they were teasing a dog, which was very entertaining.
Everyone stared with curiosity as Zhang Fan led his thugs around.
"Huff, huff..." The thug leaned on his knees, panting heavily.
Huang Yu got anxious: "I gave you money not so you could rest, you useless thing, get up and beat me! Otherwise I won't give you any money."
The thug suddenly looked up, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with a brutal and ruthless look, like a bloodthirsty beast.
"Die!" He used all his strength in this punch, which came towards Zhang Fan with a sharp whooshing sound.
Although their momentum was strong, Zhang Fan knew that their opponent was already at their limit.
It's pointless.
I finally found someone to practice on, but they could only last for such a short while. They're all show and no substance.
The moment the thug rushed over, Zhang Fan leaned slightly to the right. The thug changed direction accordingly, but unexpectedly stepped on his own right foot with his left, tripping over himself.
Due to inertia, the thug lunged forward and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Thump—"
The dull thud made Huang Yu's heart skip a beat, and his legs went weak.
The thug raised his head, revealing half of his face bruised and covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.
He struggled to get up, but before he could even prop himself up, his eyes rolled back and he fainted, his head hitting the ground again and bouncing.
hiss--
It looked painful, and the onlookers couldn't help but gasp.
Zhang Fan slowly raised his head, his eyes cold, like the icy pool from two years ago.
Huang Yu screamed in fright, and the diners couldn't help but laugh. Feeling ashamed, he pointed at Zhang Fan's neck and said, "You hurt someone. We're going to call the police and have you arrested."
Bai Rou'er: "He clearly fell down on his own."
Zhang Fan said calmly, "Your person has fallen and fainted. Instead of taking care of him, you're coming to cause trouble for us. Are you trying to extort money from us?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Huang Yu didn't press the matter further. Instead, he changed the subject: "Kelai Restaurant owes us money and hasn't paid it back. We have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, and we're struggling to make ends meet. My brother is only doing this to help me get justice."
