Hu Yuan knew that Li Bing and his gang would not give up chasing him, so he could only hide in the screening room for the time being.
In the 1990s, the screening room was a paradise for men, as they could see many things there that they wanted to see but could hardly see outside.
The screening room was pitch black at the moment, and only the faint light from the big screen could make out some figures, but in reality, it was already packed with people.
Hu Yuan held Feng Qian's hand and led her all the way to the innermost seat before letting go.
Hearing Feng Qian's somewhat heavy breathing, Hu Yuan smiled and asked, "Are you alright? Did I scare you just now?"
"Who are they? How dare they chase us like this?!"
"A bunch of petty thugs, they do nothing but petty theft and thievery, they're not respectable at all." Hu Yuan shook his head, his voice full of disdain.
Feng Qian clutched her chest, her eyes blazing with anger: "A bunch of scoundrels, daring to do this in broad daylight, aren't they afraid of the security department?"
"Heh, the security department?"
Hearing Feng Qian's words, Hu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
What do you mean by shaking your head?
Hu Yuan didn't dwell on the matter any further, but said helplessly, "It's nothing!"
He knew very well that these days, there was likely some connection between the grassroots security personnel in the county and this group of thugs.
Even without contact, many things are hard to say.
If this were in Pujiang, with Song Qingshan's connections, these things would be easy to handle. But here in Jiangkou County, Hu Yuan really has nothing to say.
However, Hu Yuan knew these things in his heart, and there was no need to explain them to Feng Qian.
Just then, the word "End" appeared on the screen in the screening room, and the film came to a close.
Just as the boss was about to change the projection tape, all the young people watching the film shouted.
"We need to watch a good movie!"
"Yes! Look at Hong Kong Island! Hong Kong Island!"
A cacophony of voices rose and fell, the noise of the crowd carrying with it a restless energy that filled the screening room.
The young people who come here to watch movies are looking for thrills, and more often they are looking for physical secrets and pleasures.
For Hu Yuan, these restricted films that young people want to watch have no appeal to him. After all, he has experienced many ups and downs and naturally looks down on these kinds of films.
But suddenly he remembered that there was an unmarried woman named Feng Qian beside him, and how embarrassing it would be if she saw all this.
After clearing his throat, Hu Yuan whispered to Feng Qian, "Shall we go quickly?"
"Are we leaving already?" Feng Qian asked, speechless.
Hu Yuan nodded. "This place isn't very convenient either, let's hurry up and get there!"
Feng Qian knew the situation was unstable, so she nodded and immediately stood up.
But just then, she suddenly cried out in pain.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Upon hearing her voice, Hu Yuan immediately asked a question.
"I sprained my ankle. I was running fast and a little nervous, so I didn't pay much attention, but now it hurts so much..."
Feng Qian said to Hu Yuan with a worried expression.
Just as Hu Yuan was about to say something, he suddenly saw a flash of white light at the door, and someone lifted the curtain and came in.
"Brother Soldier, what brings you here?" The old man at the door immediately greeted the visitor with a fawning smile, completely unlike his arrogant demeanor from before.
"Brother Bing, we already paid our respects yesterday, so why are you here today...?"
"Shut the hell up! I'm not taking any money today, just looking for someone!" Li Bing was grimacing, covering his head with a towel, and yelling fiercely at the old man.
As soon as he made that sound, all eyes were drawn to Li Bing.
"Looking for...recruiting people?" The old man was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this answer.
"Stop babbling! Old Fan, hurry up and get me the flashlight! If he runs away, I'll smash your shop!" Li Bing grabbed the old man by the collar and snarled at him fiercely.
"Brother Bing...is it not appropriate to use a flashlight? Our guests are watching a movie here..." Old Man Fan pleaded with Li Bing, somewhat embarrassed.
"Look at me! Old man Fan, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll break your legs!"
"Damn it! Turn on the lights!"
Li Bing was used to bullying people in the neighborhood, and everyone was afraid of him. But Li Bing's appearance at this moment terrified Old Man Fan.
"No, no, no... Soldier, wait for me, I'll get it for you right away..."
Although the movie was very loud in the screening room, Hu Yuan still heard the conversation between Li Bing and Old Man Fan.
His heart tightened, and he immediately grabbed Feng Qian's hand again, lowered his body, and crouched under the chair to hide.
Li Bing's men took flashlights and started shining them around the screening room. After looking around twice and not seeing Hu Yuan and Feng Qian, they went to the back.
As the flashlight passed through the middle, it shone directly into the faces of several people in the middle, and they immediately became angry.
"Take a picture! Take a picture! Take a picture of your mother's body!"
"Damn it, take the picture at your own place, what are you doing taking pictures here!"
These days, few people who go to the cinema to watch videos are easy to mess with, so naturally, I'm not afraid.
"Get out of here!"
Upon hearing the curse, Li Bing immediately turned his head to look.
"You fucking want to die?! You just yelled at my soldier brother, you're asking for it!"
"Shout your ass!"
The person who spoke was no pushover; upon hearing Li Bing's cursing, he immediately stood up.
This guy is about 1.9 meters tall, a big and strong man, and he doesn't look like a nice guy at all.
With a whoosh!
A glass beverage bottle flew out of the man's hand.
Bang!
Ouch!
With a muffled thud and a scream, the glass bottle smashed directly onto Li Bing's forehead, and blood immediately began to flow.
"Go to hell! How dare he smash my things! Kill him!"
Li Bing, howling in pain, clutched his forehead and waved to his henchmen behind him. The group of men, like wolves and tigers, immediately pounced on him.
But before they could pounce, everyone froze.
Because at that very moment, more than a dozen people stood up in the screening room.
Everyone was just like the person from before—tall, strong, and robust.
Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be from a nearby sports school.
Li Bing's group's momentum instantly weakened, and they felt inferior in front of their opponents before they even made a move.
"What? Looking for trouble? Shall we have some fun?"
The burly man who hit Li Bing with the bottle tilted his head, cracked his knuckles, and asked Li Bing in a cold voice.
Although Li Bing was doing well on this street, he was just a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong; he wasn't someone who was fearless.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so scared that he didn't dare to speak up when Hu Yuan threatened him last time.
Now, facing such a group of people, Li Bing could no longer hold on.
