The bald man looked at Wen Li in disbelief, but quickly let out a greasy laugh: "Why are you so angry? It's just drinking. You drink with your brother, and I'll give you money, how about that?"
As he spoke, he took out a thick wad of banknotes from his wallet and waved them in front of Wen Li like a nouveau riche: "Brother has plenty of money."
Wen Li, unable to bear it any longer, warned again, "I'm saying this one last time, get out of here!"
"What if I don't leave?"
The bald man, having been humiliated by Wen Li several times, actually reached out and grabbed Wen Li's wrist.
But as soon as they touched, Wen Li swung her hand back and slapped the other person across the face.
The bald man's face was instantly twisted from the blow.
For a moment, the man laughed, but as he laughed, the bald man's expression changed: "You son of a bitch, how dare you! Today I'll kill you!"
After saying that, the bald man raised his thick hands as if to hit someone.
But the next second, his wrist was grabbed by a pair of strong, well-defined hands.
The bald man, having a string of bad luck today, cursed again: "Who the hell dares to stop me!"
After speaking, the bald man looked up to the side, then suddenly stopped talking, staring blankly at the tall man in a black shirt who was looking at him with pursed lips.
The bald man looked completely bewildered: "Wait, who are you?"
The man in front of her was dressed like a domineering CEO, completely out of place in the hot pot restaurant.
Wen Li, who was standing to the side, immediately brightened up when she saw the person who had arrived: "Huo Yinghuai!"
Huo Yinghuai glanced down at Wen Li, then looked at the man, his gaze instantly turning icy cold: "Were you trying to hit her just now?"
"I'll beat her up!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Yinghuai kicked the bald man in the knee.
The bald man collapsed to the ground screaming in pain.
Passersby immediately called the police upon seeing the situation. The bald man's friends and henchmen sobered up instantly, but they were all useless. Those who knew him immediately recognized Huo Yinghuai's identity, and none of them dared to step forward.
Wen Li's classmates only realized what had happened when they heard the noise.
However, Wen Li shook her head and said it was fine: "I treated you to hot pot this time, and I've already paid for it. Be careful on your way back to school tonight, I need to go to the police station first."
Tong Zhu and Tan Xiaoxiao said they would go with Wen Li.
But Wen Li glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m., almost time for room checks, so she shook her head: "Huo Yinghuai will be fine with me."
After Wen Li refused, the two had no choice but to give up.
After the students got on the bus and left, the police arrived around the same time.
The bald man was still lying on the ground, crying in pain. Only after going to the hospital for a check-up did he learn that both of his legs had been broken by Huo Yinghuai.
The bald man runs a used car sales business locally. It's not a very large business, but he's still a wealthy man.
When he realized what was happening, he remembered Huo Yinghuai's identity, and his hair stood on end. He limped to the police station and said he would not pursue Huo Yinghuai's responsibility.
However, Huo Yinghuai sat directly in the main seat of the mediation room, next to the lawyer he had called.
The lawyer burst out laughing when he heard that the bald man wouldn't pursue Huo Yinghuai's responsibility.
The bald man was completely baffled, not understanding why the other person was laughing.
The lawyer said, "Sir, it's not a matter of you pursuing whose responsibility now, but rather that we intend to pursue your responsibility."
The bald man looked bewildered, not understanding what the lawyer meant: "I'm the victim."
"Have you forgotten everything since you've been drinking?"
The lawyer simply turned on the screen of his laptop and pointed it at the bald man.
The screen showed surveillance footage copied from the hot pot restaurant. It was crystal clear, and the bald man, being no fool, quickly understood the lawyer's meaning.
The bald man pointed at Huo Yinghuai and argued, "But he broke my leg!"
The lawyer adjusted his glasses and explained, "It depends on the court's ruling. If the court orders compensation, our boss will cooperate fully."
The bald man opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The lawyer spoke again: "You've seen the video yourself. Our boss was acting bravely, but since you attempted to assault and insult a woman, things won't be so easy to resolve."
With a smile on his face, the lawyer looked at his boss and said in a calm tone, "Boss, how long do you want them to stay in there?"
Bald man: ? ? ?
No, are you making a wish here?
Huo Yinghuai tapped his long fingers on the table, thought for a moment, and then asked Wen Li, "Xiao Li, what do you think? How about ten or eight years?"
To everyone's surprise, Wen Li shook her head and glanced at the bald man: "He has a bloody record; I estimate he'll face life imprisonment."
While the bald man was still in a daze, the lawyer had already gone out to call the police.
Soon, the police came back in, spoke with the lawyer for a few more minutes, and the bald man was quickly taken away.
At 3 a.m., police in City A solved a robbery and murder case from ten years ago, and the suspect, Li, was arrested as the main culprit.
Every day, all sorts of things happen. The police in City A post more than a dozen times a day, but this particular post didn't attract much attention.
As for Huo Yinghuai's assault, it was directly judged as an act of bravery, and he and Wen Li soon came out of the police station.
Huo Yinghuai's car was still parked in front of the hot pot restaurant. It was almost 1 a.m. when he came out of the police station. No matter how heartless Huo Yinghuai was, he would never make the driver go all the way to the hot pot restaurant and then drive his car from there.
Wen Li thought for a moment, then said, "The police station is quite close to the school. Didn't you give me an apartment? They have a cleaning lady there every week."
