Manager Li had a black object hanging from his waist with a long string attached. Xu Xinchen stared at the object for a while, and the ominous premonition in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
As if noticing where Xu Xinchen's gaze was directed, Manager Li turned his head to look at the thing clipped to his waist, chuckled, and pulled it out. Xu Xinchen looked at it and saw that it was indeed the tool he used to communicate with others—a mobile phone.
In those days, smartphones didn't exist. Owning a mobile phone was considered quite an achievement. Moreover, people who could afford a mobile phone were either extremely wealthy or exceptionally powerful.
It seems that what Manager Li said earlier wasn't entirely a lie; he really does have connections. It's just a matter of how far those connections go.
Xu Xinchen felt increasingly panicked. She should have just played along with Manager Li earlier instead of directly yelling at him. Now she was in this predicament and didn't know how to get out of it.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Manager Li held Xu Xinchen's hair in one hand and gently pressed the mobile phone on it a few times with the other.
Seeing Manager Li's actions, Xu Xinchen's heart sank. It looked like he was about to call for help.
Xu Xinchen gritted her teeth and, taking advantage of the moment when Manager Li placed the mobile phone next to her cheek, suddenly lunged at Manager Li's face with the documents in her hand.
Supervisor Li grabbed Xu Xinchen's hair, initially pulling it in his direction, but Xu Xinchen pulled it towards her own...
He lunged at her face, and to protect himself, he immediately let go.
Xu Xinchen seized the opportunity, feeling that her hair was now free, and immediately slapped the document in her hand hard against Manager Li's wrist before turning around and running outside.
This time, Manager Li failed to grab Xu Xinchen's hair and could only chase after her, shouting in a certain direction in the restaurant as he ran, "Help me stop that person in front of me."
When Xu Xinchen heard the voice of Manager Li, she panicked and looked in the direction she sensed danger. Sure enough, she saw two waiters in uniform chasing after her.
Xu Xinchen felt a pang of panic. It seemed that the people in this coffee shop were in cahoots with this Manager Li. No wonder Manager Li dared to do so many bad things in this coffee shop.
There was still some distance to the gate, and the waiters behind her were almost catching up. Xu Xinchen quickly sped up and ran forward as fast as she could.
However, just as she approached the coffee shop door, someone tugged at the hem of her clothes from behind. At the same time, due to the excessive force, Xu Xinchen stumbled forward and almost fell to the ground.
The waiter grabbed her clothes from behind. Xu Xinchen tried desperately to break free, but how could she possibly match the strength of two male waiters? With the two male waiters grabbing her, Xu Xinchen almost fell to the ground.
For Xu Xinchen, it might have been better to have successfully fallen to the ground than to have faced what followed. She failed to fall to the ground and therefore couldn't protect her face.
Manager Li caught up, and the first thing he did was slap Xu Xinchen hard across the face.
Xu Xinchen raised her hand to block, but she could only reduce half of the supervisor's force. She still inevitably took a hit to the face, and in no time, a red and swollen patch appeared on her face.
The supervisor, Mr. Li, looked at the red mark on Xu Xinchen's face, spat fiercely, and then kicked Xu Xinchen in the stomach: "Go ahead and run, run again and let me see!"
Xu Xinchen gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down. The manager, Li, seemed to be deliberately provoking Xu Xinchen's anger as he watched her movements. He continued his actions and even planned to kick Xu Xinchen again.
Xu Xinchen couldn't hold back any longer. After regaining her balance, she used her heel to stomp hard on the foot of the waiter who was grabbing her.
The waiter winced in pain, and his movements became less steady. Xu Xinchen seized the opportunity and slammed his head hard into Manager Li, who was standing opposite him.
Manager Li is quite fat, but whether it's because he's done too many things that would weaken his body or something else, he's very weak.
After being bumped by Xu Xinchen, he fell backward and his head hit the rather luxurious glass cabinet in the coffee shop hard.
Just as Xu Xinchen was about to rush over and beat up Manager Li without a second thought, a cold voice came from the doorway: "What are you doing?"
Xu Xinchen looked up, and that familiar voice made her feel like she had a chance to live. She turned her head and saw that the person who came was Gu Yan!
Xu Xinchen's eyes lit up, and she quickly shouted to Gu Yan, "Gu Yan! You need to leave immediately and call the police! This coffee shop is colluding with this person; they're doing some illegal things!"
Gu Yan's expression turned cold. He stared at the wounds on Xu Xinchen's forehead and face for a few seconds. He stopped in his tracks, which were about to approach Xu Xinchen, and turned around and ran outside without hesitation. As he ran, he grabbed the mobile phone he was carrying and quickly pressed a few numbers.
Xu Xinchen breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Gu Yan's actions. Just then, the two waiters who were standing behind Xu Xinchen were scolded by Manager Li on the ground: "Are you two dead? Hurry up and stop him. If he really calls the police, we're all finished."
The two waiters seemed to only realize what was happening at that moment, and they let go of Xu Xinchen and tried to run out. But how could Xu Xinchen let her chance to survive be ruined?
Without hesitation, she held the document and stood in front of the two men, picking up the document and throwing it hard at them. However, after only a few blows, her movements were restrained.
However, because she was reckless and used all her strength to hit those two people, both of them sustained small wounds from Xu Xinchen's blows.
The plastic folder that Xu Xinchen was holding also had several cracks, and bloodstains from the wounds of the two waiters were still stuck to the cracks.
In such a short time, Gu Yan had already disappeared from sight of the group. Manager Li looked at the empty space outside, his eyes burning with anger.
