Chapter 340 A Twist of Fate
"Please let go, Young Master Feng!"
Chen Yongnian did not back down after Feng Gan revealed his identity, and his tone of voice was not as respectful as it had been at the beginning, but carried a hint of warning.
Feng Gan's mood for having fun was ruined, and his interest was dampened by half.
He shoved Du Ruo aside, walked a few steps to Chen Yongnian, and said coldly, "Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Du Ruo was pushed and nearly hit a pillar, but fortunately Jing Shisi Niang protected her and saved her from injury.
For a courtesan, it was common to be harassed by a charming young man.
Du Ruo was the most beautiful woman in Mingyuefang, with her fox-like eyes being particularly eye-catching, and every frown and smile revealing her charm.
Jing Shisi Niang whispered to Du Ruo, "You should leave with the sisters from Mingyue Fang first."
"Sister Jing, what about you..." Du Ruo said, looking at Chen Yongnian with some worry in her heart.
Faced with Feng Gan's questioning, Chen Yongnian remained composed and said, "I'm just stating the facts!"
Feng Gan sneered, flicked Chen Yongnian's collar, and said with a vicious sneer, "A filthy cop like you dares to ruin my business?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his murderous intent was revealed. He raised his hand and summoned his followers to surround Chen Yongnian.
Chen Yongnian remained unmoved, appearing to be handling matters impartially.
Du Ruo was about to leave when she saw this scene and was startled.
She couldn't help but wonder, who could help Chen Yongnian?
What can I do?
At this moment, the diners in the hall also noticed this scene and couldn't help but gather around to ask what had happened.
Wu Gousheng also noticed this and hesitated whether to go to the backyard to find Wan Qiqi or to find someone else for help.
Judging from their clothes, they are not ordinary people, and this is not someone who can be easily dealt with.
His mind raced, and in a flash of inspiration, he threw the membership card into the counter and ran out.
Among the crowd, Feng Gan was even more furious when he saw Chen Yongnian's appearance. "He's got a tough nut to crack!"
He waved his hand and ordered, "Beat them!"
Chen Yongnian's martial prowess surpassed his eloquence, but he was unwilling to engage in combat.
This was the first day of Xinglong Restaurant's opening. Every table and chair in the lobby reflected the wife's hard work, and she didn't want anything to be damaged.
But he couldn't allow Feng Gan to bully people here.
If this matter is not properly resolved and word gets out, who will dare to dine at Xinglong Restaurant in the future?
"Wait!"
Chen Yongnian wanted to say a few more words to Feng Gan; he still had something to say.
However, the word "wait" did not come from his mouth alone; it was also accompanied by a faint female voice.
Chen Yongnian looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wu Gousheng welcoming a distinguished guest at the door.
Perhaps because of her gorgeous clothes, extraordinary temperament, and the guards she brought with her, the crowd immediately made way for her as she entered, allowing her to come in easily.
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Chen Yongnian lowered his head slightly and swallowed back all the words he was about to say.
"What's all the noise about? If you don't want to watch properly, get out!" She glared at Feng Gan and said coldly, "What do so many people want to do? In broad daylight, are they trying to abduct a woman, or are they going to beat up the constables?"
Seeing her aggressive demeanor and the unfriendly attitude she showed towards Feng Gan, the crowd couldn't help but speculate about her identity.
Feng Gan glanced at Fang Luxue and chuckled, "So what if I hit her?"
Fang Luxue was speechless for a moment, "You..."
At that moment, Chen Yongnian clasped his hands in a respectful bow to her, saying, "This subordinate greets Miss Fang!"
He stepped forward and blocked Feng Gan's path, saying expressionlessly, "Young Master Feng, everyone's waiting to see the show continue."
A large crowd gathered, all looking in this direction and whispering amongst themselves.
On one side is the young master of the Feng family, whose family members hold official positions in the prefecture.
On one side is the daughter of the county magistrate, who directly manages all affairs of the county.
It's hard to say who would win or lose when these two people with these identities are put together.
They were all afraid of being implicated, yet they were also filled with curiosity, wanting to see this battle of the gods.
Feng Gan's face immediately darkened, and he cursed at Chen Yongnian, "Coward! You dare to offend me? Just you wait!"
Chen Yongnian tried his best to restrain himself and remain calm, refusing to fight with this person.
With a smile, he gestured for Fang Luxue to sit in the empty seat, and also gestured for Feng Gan to sit down.
As if afraid of losing face, Feng Gan turned around and prepared to sit down.
In the instant he turned around, he reached out and launched a sneak attack, punching Chen Yongnian in the face.
Caught off guard, Chen Yongnian realized he was outmatched and quickly dodged, staggering back two steps.
Just as he regained his footing, Feng Gan was punched by Fang Luxue's guard and slammed onto the small table.
Dishes of snacks and fruits were scattered all over the ground, and Chen Yongnian couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
So many discs! So many... This must cost my wife a lot of money.
Feng Gan was restrained by the guards, while Fang Luxue waved her fist, "You shameless bastard, you even resorted to sneak attacks."
Once Fang Luxue had vented her anger, the guards released Feng Gan.
Feng Gan clutched his black eye, whimpering in pain, "You...he...you dare hit me? You..."
The audience burst into laughter.
Feng Gan's face stung with pain. He pushed away the attendant who was supporting him and shouted angrily, "What are you still looking at? Beat him! Smash it! I won't rest until I break his legs!"
Just then, he was interrupted again.
"Is this ever going to end? Who dares to stop me..." Feng Gan stared intently at the man, then suddenly stopped speaking.
Fang Luxue was curious about who could shut this annoying guy up without saying a word.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Tao Ran and Wan Ziyan!
She sighed softly, thinking that if Feng Gan wasn't afraid of her, what use would two scholars be?
Wan Ziyan glanced at the debris on the ground, and seeing Chen Yongnian's gloomy face, his own expression darkened as well.
