Unexpectedly, the man said seriously, "Your child irritated my wife and deserved to be beaten. In the final analysis, you hit my wife now, which is equivalent to hitting me in the face. You must apologize to my wife, otherwise this matter will never end..."
When everyone in the Gong family heard the man's confusing right and wrong remarks, they were all furious.
Gong Jinyao stamped her feet in anger and shouted, "How can you be so unreasonable! It was obviously your wife who bullied the child first, and now you are the villain who complains first. How can you be so unreasonable!"
The customers around were also indignant at the man's words, and they all accused him: "This is too much. His wife did something wrong, but he still made excuses. It's really unreasonable!" "That's right, how can you bully people like this? You must give him justice!"
But the man turned a deaf ear and continued to stare at Lin Yuexi viciously, looking as if he was not going to give in.
Gong Mufeng clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Don't go too far! We have been trying to persuade you kindly, but it was your wife who pushed the issue and hit the child. We were just defending ourselves. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame us for being rude!"
The man sneered disdainfully: "You're welcome? Let me see what you can do! I'm saying this today. If you don't apologize, none of you can leave this door!" As he said that, he actually took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it a few times.
After a while, several men in black suits hurried over and stood behind the man, all with fierce looks on their faces.
The man looked at the Gong family members smugly and said, "See? These are all my people. Apologize quickly if you know what's best for you, or you'll be in trouble!"
When the Gong family members saw this, they felt nervous, but they were not afraid at all.
Although Gong Ziyan was young, he stood bravely in front and said loudly: "You people are bullying others, but we are not afraid of you!"
Gong Xiyun hid behind Lin Yuexi, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of her mother's clothes, her eyes full of fear, but she still held back her tears.
Lin Yuexi touched Gong Xiyun's head distressedly, then raised her head, looked at the man firmly, and said, "Do you think you can scare us by calling a few people? Your bullying behavior will not succeed! Today, your wife must apologize to my daughter, otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Seeing this, Gong Mufeng also took out a wooden cane from his waist and put it on the counter. "I want to see who apologizes to whom today. I am a serving soldier, and I have been abroad for many years to defend my country. In the end, my own child is bullied..."
After saying that, he blew a whistle, and the five soldiers who were originally sent to protect Lin Yuexi immediately rushed into the Overseas Chinese Store.
The five soldiers rushed into the Overseas Chinese Store like tigers and stood in unison behind Gong Mufeng, with upright postures, sharp eyes, and exuding an inviolable majesty.
Their appearance instantly changed the expressions of the originally arrogant man and the several men in black suits he brought with him.
The man looked at the situation in front of him, and although he was a little flustered, he still pretended to be calm and shouted: "You...what do you want to do? This is a public place, and you soldiers can't do whatever you want!"
Gong Mufeng looked at the man coldly and said, "We soldiers have always acted uprightly, but you are bullying the weak and women and children in public. Do you think you can escape responsibility like this?"
Gong Jinyao looked at the man's timid appearance and couldn't help but sneer, "Hey, weren't you so majestic just now? Why are you scared now that we are so many?"
The customers around also laughed and expressed extreme contempt for the man's behavior.
The men in black suits behind the man began to waver. One of them whispered to the man, "Brother, something seems amiss. How about..."
The man glared at him and shouted in a low voice: "Why are you panicking? What else can they do to us?"
However, his slightly trembling voice still revealed his inner nervousness.
Gong Mufeng took a step forward, looked the man straight in the eye, and said, "Today, you must give my daughter and my wife a formal apology and admit your and your wife's mistakes. Otherwise, don't think about leaving here easily."
The man gritted his teeth and weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that he had met a tough guy today. If he did not compromise, things might get worse and it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.
Just as the man was hesitating, his wife suddenly screamed again: "Old Yang, we can't just let it go! They are bullying people with their numbers, why should we apologize!"
The man looked at her irritably, complaining in his heart that she was more trouble than help. At this time, the store manager once again came out anxiously to smooth things over: "Everyone, everyone, let's talk it out. It's New Year's Day, don't make things too awkward."
Gong Mufeng looked at the store manager and said, "Manager, we don't want to make a big deal about this matter today, but they are really bullying us too much. My wife and daughter were bullied for no reason, and we must get an explanation."
The manager nodded repeatedly, turned around and persuaded the man, "Sir, you see, they are not unreasonable people. It was indeed your wife who hit them first. Don't insist. Apologize and everyone can leave."
The man thought for a moment, sighed helplessly, and knew that he had to bow his head today.
He looked at Gong Mufeng's family and said reluctantly, "Okay, it's my bad luck. I apologize. We were wrong just now and shouldn't have bullied you."
His wife listened from the side, looking unconvinced, but she did not dare to say anything.
Gong Mufeng snorted coldly and said, "Just such a light apology? Your wife has hurt my daughter, and just now insulted and hit my child, do you think an apology is enough?"
The man's face flushed red, hesitantly said, "So what do you want?"
Lin Yuexi looked at the man and said seriously: "First, your wife must sincerely apologize to my daughter in front of everyone and promise that such things will not happen again in the future;
Second, you must compensate my daughter for the mental damages she suffered as compensation for the shock she received.”
The man frowned and was about to retort, but a soldier behind Gong Mufeng took a step forward and looked at him sternly. The man immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
With no other options, the man turned to his wife and motioned for her to do as he was told.
The woman gritted her teeth, walked up to Gong Xiyun, forced a smile, and said, "Little friend, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have hit you and scolded you. I apologize to you and won't do this again in the future."
Gong Xiyun looked at the woman and said in a baby voice, "Auntie, you have to keep your word." The woman nodded awkwardly.
Then, the man took out some money from his wallet, handed it to Gong Mufeng, and said, "This is compensation money, you guys take it."
