Meng Xunzhou gently woke Song Shishi up, his voice low and gentle.
"Shishi, wake up, we're at the dining area."
Song Shishi slowly opened her sleepy eyes and her gaze immediately fell on Meng Xunzhou's arm wrapped in gauze.
Fortunately, there was no further bleeding.
Song Shishi followed Meng Xunzhou and walked into a slightly old restaurant with everyone else.
The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food and the smell of fireworks.
Xie Yushan, Li Ming and others went to the toilet in the back, leaving only Song Shishi, Meng Xunzhou and Su Yao in the restaurant hall.
Su Yao had just sat down at the greasy wooden table. Before she could open the simple menu made of old newspapers, the door of the restaurant was kicked open with brute force, and the door panel hit the wall hard, making a dull sound.
A tall man with a fleshy face and cheeks slightly bulging with anger rushed in.
...
...
There were five or six people following behind him, and they looked like thugs.
The man's eyes swept around the restaurant and finally fixed on Meng Xunzhou, who was wearing a military uniform.
His triangular eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he sneered, "Meng Xunzhou, we are so close, I finally caught you! Today, let's settle all the old and new grudges together!"
Behind him followed a group of men, all wearing washed-out, patched and wrinkled coarse cloth clothes.
These people had ferocious looks and were holding sticks in their hands. They were waving them around in the restaurant, making ear-splitting noises.
Meng Xunzhou's eyes suddenly became stern, and like a vigilant cheetah, he quickly protected Song Shishi behind him.
His defensive posture made Song Shishi's heart tense.
Who is this man? Meng Xunzhou is so wary of this man. This man must be no good.
Su Yao quickly hid behind the counter where the restaurant owner was, not daring to make a sound.
"Find a place to hide for a while. Their target is me. I will lead them away. You and Su Yao will go find Mr. Xie and leave here."
Meng Xunzhou's voice was steady and powerful, which calmed Song Shishi's racing heart a little.
Meng Xunzhou never expected to meet this group of people here.
When he was out on a mission, he had dealt with this gang before. He successfully arrested one of their leaders, and these people took advantage of the chaos to escape.
It is precisely because of this that this group of people have always held a grudge against Meng Xunzhou.
Meng Xunzhou knew very well that these people were cruel and ruthless and had no bottom line.
If he was the only one here today, it would be fine.
But now that Song Shishi is here, he has to respond with caution.
Zhao Qiang said nothing, waved his hand, and his men rushed up with sticks in their hands like mad dogs.
Song Shishi's heart tightened again.
Meng Xunzhou's arm was still injured, and these people were obviously coming for him. How could she help him?
Meng Xunzhou didn't have time to think too much. He pushed Song Shishi away, then swiftly dodged a swinging stick.
Then he took advantage of the situation and grabbed the other's wrist, twisted it hard, and with a "crack", the man screamed and dropped the stick.
When facing these extremely vicious people, there is no mercy.
He kicked away another enemy who rushed towards him, and skillfully used the tables and chairs in the restaurant to deal with the enemy. The tables and chairs were knocked over and the dishes were broken all over the floor.
Song Shishi was extremely anxious, her heart almost beating out of her throat.
She remembered Meng Xunzhou's instructions just now and turned and ran.
But before she could run a few steps, one of the big men glanced at him and pounced on her without hesitation.
Song Shishi heard the noise and looked back, just as she was passing by the kitchen door.
Her eyes swept over to see a kitchen knife on the chopping board and she rushed over without hesitation.
Although her hands were shaking and her knuckles were white, she had to suppress her fear now.
She made up her mind, closed her eyes, turned around and swung the kitchen knife to chop at the big man who was chasing her.
"Don't come over here!"
The big man obviously didn't expect that Song Shishi had a knife in her hand, and he stepped back in fear.
When Meng Xunzhou saw this scene, his heart tightened and his eyes were full of worry and anxiety. He attacked more fiercely and fought harder, wanting to get rid of these people quickly and protect Song Shishi.
Seeing that his men had been attacking Meng Xunzhou in vain for a long time, veins popped out on Zhao Qiang's forehead. He roared and went into battle himself, attacking Meng Xunzhou like a wild bull.
He swung a thick iron rod and smashed it towards Meng Xunzhou with a whistling sound.
Meng Xunzhou dodged flexibly, his body moving left and right like a black lightning.
He took advantage of Zhao Qiang's weakness, and Meng Xunzhou endured the severe pain in his arm, clenched his teeth, and kicked Zhao Qiang to the ground with a beautiful roundhouse kick. Zhao Qiang fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, the restaurant owner's face turned red and he was extremely anxious.
He sneaked out the back door, his shoes rustling on the ground.
He ran all the way, panting, his back soaked with sweat, and finally ran to the nearby police station.
He pushed the door open, panting, and shouted to the police: "Comrade, it's bad! There's a fight in the restaurant over there, many people are holding weapons, someone is going to die!"
When the public security comrade heard this, he immediately put down the documents in his hand, quickly picked up his gun, took a few colleagues, jumped into the somewhat shabby jeep, and rushed to the restaurant at lightning speed.
As for Song Shishi, just when the big man retreated and was about to rush towards her again, Mr. Xie and Li Ming heard the noise in front of them and turned back. Seeing that the big man was about to hit her, Li Ming directly took a big iron spoon from the kitchen window and hit the back of the big man's head.
With a "Duang" sound, the big man wanted to turn around to see who hit him, but as soon as he turned sideways, he fainted before he could see Li Ming's face clearly.
"Comrade Song, are you not hurt?"
Li Ming walked forward and looked Song Shishi up and down.
“Bang!”
Song Shishi loosened her grip and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She seemed to have just reacted and shook her head, "I'm fine."
Xie Yushan frowned, turned around and closed the kitchen door, lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
Song Shishi recounted what had happened in general.
"What should we do now? Xunzhou is already injured, and so many people are holding sticks. I'm afraid he..."
She couldn't say the following words.
"Don't worry. Just before we came here, I seemed to see the restaurant owner running out the back door. He must have gone to the police station."
"Teacher, how about I go out the back door and call the police? What if the boss is scared away? We can't just sit there and wait."
Li Ming thought about it again and again, then spoke.
Xie Yushan did not object. He nodded and said, "Okay, then you should be careful. They have never seen you before and don't know that you are with us. Be careful to avoid them."
"good."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he crouched down, carefully opened the kitchen door, and slipped out while no one was paying attention in the front hall.
…
Before the police jeep came to a complete stop, the door was pushed open and the police jumped out and rushed into the restaurant.
When Zhao Qiang and others saw the police coming, they immediately became panicked, their eyes full of fear.
Meng Xunzhou was not willing to let them go, and took the opportunity to subdue the few enemies who were still resisting.
With the participation of public security comrades, Meng Xunzhou's pressure was immediately reduced a lot.
He simply ignored everyone else and turned to stare at Zhao Qiang.
Once Zhao Qiang is subdued, the others will be like loose sand and will be nothing to be feared.
When he saw the police, Zhao Qiang had already thought of retreating. Zhao Qiang, who was already no match for Meng Xunzhou, was no match for him at this moment.
After just a few rounds, Zhao Qiang was pinned to the ground by Meng Xunzhou and could not move.
